It’s a lovely Christmas party in Camelot, and you are a horrible Green Knight.
mysterious knight joins the tournament, he has no heraldic symbol and no one knows where he is from
people from camelot, used to Lancelot’s bullshit:
you know what? where ARE the simple joys of maidenhood

Don't (do not) adapt Arthurian legend as a modern police procedural.
Learn necromancy at a nunnery, I guess.
It is simply the nature of things that every King Arthur film adaptation has consecutively worse costumes. In a matter of years they’ll be wearing Party City and I can’t wait

Have a feast. Don't let anyone leave the table until you see a miracle.

-- The Ill-Made Knight, T. H. White, 1940
Overly Sarcastic Productions on yt has done two videos on Arthurian legend and that was my main intro into the lore id recommend it for others trying to figure out where to start and get an idea of it
I generally think that getting the serious version of something is better as your first exposure than someone's comedic take on it, but whatever way in works!
Do you have any suggestions on good versions/editions of the arthurian tales for a total newbie to start with?
A total newbie is rough -- there's no consistent canon, and modern retellings mostly assume general cultural knowledge of Arthur, so, for example, I love T.H. White's The Once and Future King, but he definitely is doing deliberate subversion of audience expectations with his characterizations of Arthur and Lancelot especially.
I would say that Sir Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur is the most obvious place to start, but definitely not the full version with Early Modern English spellings -- aside from the orthography and grammar, Malory gets very bogged down in the exact details of battles, and there are a lot of adventures in the middle that can be skipped. Keith Baines's version is somewhat abridged, and I think that would be the best place to get the feel for a medieval Arthur.
Malory gives us a lot of the framework of the legend; he's working with material he knows and is cobbling together from a bunch of different sources, but his is the earliest cohesive telling of it.

Gawain, putting together this bomb-ass outfit to go get beheaded in:
Hi my name is Gwallt-euryn and I have long golden hair (that’s how I got my name) and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like King Arthur (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Sir Lancelot but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a knight (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly heraldry. For example today I was wearing a heraldic vest embroidered over in velvet, with magical jewels mounted in front, and seams sewn in color, all lined inside with the softest fur. I was wearing a lady’s favor, my sword hung at my side, and a belt of bright green silk wrapped twice around me. The Green Knight stared at me. I put up my middle finger at him.
