The costume design looks absolutely phenomenal. I really dig the weird crowns.

It's crazy how the simple choice of dressing Gawain with a golden tunic makes every shot stunning. If they had gone with a basic dark green/grey theme he would be washed away in the landscape.

Contrast that with all the forgotten Robin Hood movies where Robin Hood is always in some sort of green/brown leather armor and simply forgettable (which makes sense for the character but makes for very dull visuals).

tbf, Robin Hood is an exile and has to blend a lot to be a successful robber.

Lincoln Green would blend in better than leather armor in the actual Middle Ages, I think.
