Camelot 3000: Difference between revisions

* [[Excalibur]]: Arthur must retrieve his fabled sword from the Lady of the Lake. The lake, however, is now the cooling pond for a nuclear powers station.

* [[Gender Bender]]: The chauvinistic Sir Tristan is reincarnated as a woman. This subplot, and Lady Tristan's relationship with the still-female reincarnation of Isolde, drew a lot of attention at the time.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] -- several.

* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]

* [[Schedule Slip]] (it was a 12 issue monthly series from 1982 to 1985. You do the math.)

* [[Second Coming]]: Fulfilling an ancient prophecy that he would return when England needs him most.

* [[Show Some Leg]]: King Arthur has Sir Tristan, who'd been reincarnated as female, pull this stunt on some enemy guards. As Arthur knew Tristan hated being stuck in a woman's body, this was as much a loyalty-test for Tristan as a means of neutralizing the guards.

* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: Tom.

* [[You Fail Nuclear Physics Forever]]: {{spoiler|splitting a single atom of carbon/iron/whatever, even with Excalibur, is probably ''not'' going to cause a chain reaction leading to a thermonuclear explosion. Possibly excused under [[Rule of Cool]], though, or arguably [[Justified Trope|justified]] since in earlier scenes it is explicitly said that Excalibur's powers are not confined to being cutting stuff; the weapon seems to be able to recharge power cells just by being shoved into them, so possibly the weapon can change atomic structure or release energy of its own.}}
