i know we’ve already talked at length about how like. most of the messages this show tried to have were undermined by how it wrote magic users, but. genuinely. sometimes the weird morals just drive me insane
#my post#merlin#like the whole thing with sophia in ep 7. that just made me kinda sad?#like. she lost her entire world because of her father's crime & THEN she finds out that she has to lose her father#& THEN her father dies.#& yes. she tried to kill arthur. but did she actually deserve to die?????? it's like there's absolutely no sympathy#for characters that attack the pendragons when it's just like. no. they have a point & even if they didn't#instant death isn't the only option?????? calm down please & thanks#like that one post that's like 'your family committed genocide but i said something rude so now i'm an enemy of the state'#idk man. i'll go back to posting pictures of hands in a bit#obviously this isn't about the massive villains that WOULD have killed everyone but more like. some of the minor villains#no there's no fair justice system for merlin to just. put them through. but i think it would've been interesting if they explored that more#like. magic users who do bad things but aren't Bad. give me more antiheroes#because like. idk. so many of the characters Have A Point but then the show turns around & makes them do something Very Evil#so they can be seen as irredeemable & be killed off without protest#no idea where i'm going with this but. yeah. i wish like. all of these characters had been kept alive because like!!#that dynamic would be so interesting!!#like that post i made a while ago about nimueh dying in s5 rather than s1. it was a short post but i think about it. ALL the time.#like. anti-pendragon characters who are vague allies of merlin or just enemies of morgana#who fight on merlin's side/help him DESPITE not actually supporting arthur. & then maybe they come around to arthur's rule#please my computer is at. 1% but. YEAH hudjisjdko i think about this stuff a lot
