She chooses ultimately to protect herself more than others, and doesn’t choose to fully trust those she claims she does. He would have definitely brought back magic to make up for his fathers mistakes. On top of that he would have had Morgana convincing him not to treat those with Magic so cruelly. Those are his mistakes. I forgot to check the email me of new comments box, so this comment is for that purpose. He had been there for magical tests with Arthur before, and he also is seen doubting himself in regards to Mordred’s character, since Mordred so clearly sacrificed himself for the King. The Merlin who makes all those mistakes is still very young. The ending ruins the entire story of the series in my opinion in what was a very epic storyline…with the entirety of it destroyed just by the last episode. But YESSSS there were many times they could have stopped what happened. Still perhaps this is also why it is stated that Arthur will rise again. ‘Muppets Haunted Mansion’ special to debut via Disney+ Fall 2021, ‘They Both Die At The End’ to be adapted for TV with Silvera penning script, GMA vet Robin Roberts to host intimate interview series, ‘Turning the Tables,’ for Disney+, New ‘Stranger Things’ season 4 teaser hints at return of Dr. Brenner.

You certainly went into much more detail than I ever would though. Still Merlin did play a hand in it by delaying the assassin and giving Morgana enough time to save Uther’s life. Once it was and it was confirmed that pattern wasn’t going to change, I just stopped caring about watching every episode. Knowing what we k kw about Arthur ans Merlin in legend, and about the prophecy touted in the show, it stands in stark contrast to the actual development of the resolution. He poisoned Morgana destroying the last bit of good in her and convincing her that Camelot could never be a place where she would be accepted. Don’t get me wrong. I really wish you’d somehow written season 5. All of the pep talks from Merlin to encourage Arthur, even some from Gaius to both Arthur and Merlin, the dragon, etc. Problem is, she doesn’t much confide in him. “To me, that’s the heart of the program. He didn’t take destiny seriously enough or took it too seriously, both dangerous. You are soo soo right!! Once again the Dragon gives the young wizard advice that could have avoided the future we see in series 5. After his master is arrested for being a magic user, he calls out to The title character fails completely. They could have still had the once and the future king prophecy with Arthur and Morgana returning in the future along with Merlin to help him with another threat. What were the writers thinking?

Were Arthur and merlin shown to be unwilling to accept their destiny because life is complicated and tough and not clear as we see in our everyday life, then why make it a legend? Now in all fairness to Merlin this is the least of his mistakes. The final killing blow to his and Arthur’s destiny is dealt by Merlin in the season 5 episode The Dsir. Arthur is so enraged by this he tries to kill Uther. Uther could have been killed by the Dark Night in Excalibur as the Dragon suggests, Merlin saved Uther with Excalibur, that was the first time. Little has been revealed about her background. Another understandable mistake, but still one that has a very negative effect on his and Arthur’s destiny, and ultimately the greater good of Camelot. He may have protected them years ago from evil sorcerers, but he has since drowned and burned innocent men, women and children! I like the idea of prophecy’s only giving you a possible future, and it still being possible to change. He has been utterly convinced that Magic is evil. It was obvious that the Arthur from seasons 1 and 2 did not hate magic like his father and in time could have easily been swayed to view it as a force for good in some instances. Was she pure evil, or was she just simply wanting to free the land from Uther? Ultimately his mistakes prevented the Great Dragon’s prophecy from coming to pass. Arthur risks everything when he summons a spirit from the dead - Uther. Furthermore the Dsir warn him that he will not get another chance if he does not return magic. He maybe could have even told her a piece of the prophecy that Arthur would one day restore magic to Camelot. In the battle many were killed, and Arthur killed Merdreut (i.e., Mordred) but the latter wounded him grievously. Morgana chooses to isolate herself; Gwen seems to have an idea given the Witchfinder episode, but again, Morgana shuts her out despite knowing Gwen cares for her. It’s so ridiculous to me that the series ended the way they wanted it to, that this was the story they wanted to tell. Gaius even thinks Uther has done a lot of good for the people which is clearly not true. Briefly in "Lightning in a Bottle", Merlin is seen walking into the Lake house throug… But in Merlin, there is no silver lining. It really feels like there’s more to the story (and there’s a tumblr out there that takes “once and future king” seriously and has constructed an apparently well told sixth season about Arthur coming back from the dead) and they didn’t get to do it. It would take a cold hearted bastard to let a pleading child be executed. As a result of lying to Arthur about Morgause (who did not deceive Arthur at all) Merlin convinced Arthur that magic was evil. They were giving him one last chance to fulfil his destiny. I was thinking the same thing, that someone should remake it, but the thought of recreating the costumes, sets, script, rehearsing, acting, filming, then music writing and post production… you would need to be really dedicated! Let’s try that again. ( Log Out /  Even after all the ways Merlin turned Arthur against Magic, Arthur was still willing to accept it into Camelot, but Merlin finally convinced him not to. Yes, he knows, but aside from sending her to the druids, which is his choice to do so, she never seeks much comfort from him by going out of her way to do so. Thanks so much for the kind words and your comments on the Morgan article too. From that moment on, Arthur had no chance. If he didn’t stop Arthur from killing Uther and making Arthur believe magic was evil, Arthur may have accepted magic and maybe would have never been judge by the triple goddess. He would have united the lands of Albion, he would have restored magic to Camelot. Merlin could have been Arthur’s advisor, like in the legend. As Kilgharrah says, Arthur’s heart would harden towards magic if it ended up responsible for Uther’s death. Casts a spell that makes everyone in Camelot fall asleep. Also Merlin could have turned Morgana against Morgause by telling her that Morgause had made her the source of her spell, which Morgana did not know about. By this point he should have been convinced otherwise. Its still not perfect mind you. The Dragon makes it very clear that there are two possible futures that could unfold here. To flatly blame Merlin as being solely responsible because of impossible choices of his without considering Morgana’s own choices in all their facets robs her of her agency in making those choices. According to Within a few years, probably by the time of season 5, all of the kingdoms would have been united. They agreed only if he brought magic back to Camelot. The last season was the worst. Still that doesn’t mean he isn’t 100 percent right every single time. This leads to Morgana’s issues. Had Merlin not used magic to heal Uther, Uther would have died and Arthur may have come to the conclusion that Magic was not evil somewhere down the line by himself. i totaly differ with that…it would bring nothin but humiliation to its fanatics. Character writing mistake with Mordred in order to save Mordred alone proves this ended responsible.
