i recently became possessed with the idea of a merlin series rewrite that would follow more closely the legends in some aspects. i'm not exactly sure how one would pull it off but i already ordered a copy of le morte d'arthur to refresh my memory
something something uther dies from an illness while arthur is still a child and how that's gonna affect things?
but, i still want merlin and arthur to be the same age
so balinor is gonna take on the role in events that occurred pre arthur's birth where merlin's figure was involved?
i really love-hate the story about ygraine in the legend. adds so much trashinnes to uthers character. so fitting.
uther literally got hots for a married woman, got pissy offended when she left in the night because of his creepy behaviour and waged war against her husband because of that.
and than he impersonated her husband and slept with her. which is really SA. and then when her husband died, in that same war, he was like "well guess you'll now have to marry me". what a disgusting creature.
i can go on and on

Seconded! Had this on tape, it was my second Arthurian piece of media after Disney's Sword in the Stone, it was wonky, but emotional. Our villain Mab has the funniest little raspy voice lol. It's only an hour total and well worth a watch!
This is a bit off topic for my typical stuff
And it's not actually about the show that the majority of you talk about
But I'm just hoping since you're a fan of the character Merlin that there are those out there who have seen Sam Neill's version
Yes Sam Neill, the guy from Jurassic park
There was a Merlin mini series that came out when I was a teenager so this thing is like 20 years old
And you all deserve to get to enjoy it
I honestly have no idea where you could stream it from if you can't find it on an illegal site
But honestly, it's a beautiful thing to enjoy from it's time period
And I hope you get to
ETA: apparently it's on YouTube I've linked it below
life is so ruthless so i must love you as hard as i can. basically
