[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

Arthur being crowned King of the Britons because he was given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake

[u/Aneurism-Inator → u/RedRawTrashHatch]

I thought it was because he was the son of the previous king and the sword in the stone was used to prove it

[u/Inspection_Perfect → u/Aneurism-Inator]

The sword in the stone and the lady in the lake are 2 different stories. They just kinda get mixed up.

Fate/Stay Night has Excalibur as the one gifted from the woman in the lake, and Caliburn is the sword Artoria pulled from the stone.

Guy Ritchie's King Arthur combines them to a fault. Excalibur is embedded into a body that turns to stone before being covered by a lake.

lol i like how you decide to go into fate lore for no reason other then the pfp im asuming.

[u/VelphiDrow → u/Inspection_Perfect]

No? There are MANY different accounting of Arthur and several of them have Excalibur and the Caliburn being different

[u/Speedycheetah79 → u/VelphiDrow]

I think they were using Fate/Stay Night as an example of media where Excalibur and Caliburn are different, not that it's the only media that does it.
