Re: Part 3

Well, I hardly ever examine Arthur and Merlin, mainly because I can't go anywhere in fandom without being bombarded by their TWUE WUV and the genuinely terrible concepts, stereotypes, and misogyny that that fandom in general seems to grip so tightly. So I'll be very interested in anything that examines them without trying to take it into "AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE FUCKING AND THE GIRLS NEED TO GTFO" territory.

I hate that about Morgana, because she's always been incredibly fascinating to me, just like the rest of the Arthurian legends. But it seems like they just want to turn her from a well-developed-but misunderstood girl into a cold black-and-white villain with no explanation. While I think Katie acted the hell out of her scenes in S3, the writing was terribly lacking.
