#but tbh if merlin had revealed his magic to arthur earlier... the whole mordred situation could not have happened as it did

💥 i'm curious

💥What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?

Well, if it just one thing...

I think Merlin and Morgana should have had a proper showdown. Because after Morgana discovers Merlin is Emrys, she takes away his magic and... laughs in his face a little before trapping him in a cave? That wasn't very satisfying, in my opinion (yes, I get that Merlin getting sealed in a cave is a reference to Arthurian legend).

I just wish they had written a more extended scene for their final confrontation. We deserved it after all that build-up. Like, it's basic rules of storytelling.

#thank u for the ask :3 #asks #ask meme #“FACE ME MORGANA!” #< he was so hot for this. btw. #you could say the same about the magic reveal #i do wish it was revealed a bit earlier #i guess i wasn't too mad about it because i knew when i started watching the show that it was only going to happen in the final episode #i suppose i would've been mad about it if I had been watching the show for years #but tbh if merlin had revealed his magic to arthur earlier... the whole mordred situation could not have happened as it did #because merlin would be like 'hey arthur btw I saw a vision this dude is gonna kill you' #and arthur would be like 'wow thanks for telling me merlin I shall not make him a knight then' #(probably) #like the entire S5 would not exist. it could not play out as it did. #so I understand it I guess #but still. maybe A BIT sooner. #maybe not 10 minutes before arthur died.
