You know what I hate? The TV show Merlin. Anyone who hangs around the chat knows how much I hate this show, but seeing it again today just made me rage so hard that I couldn't contain this post. Am I going to cut this? no, because I honestly don't care if you like this show. IF YOU DO, JUST SKIP THIS. IDGAF
but Kitty- how could you have so much hate for a pretendy funtime TV show? calm the fuck down bitch, what's so bad about it?
WELL, I SAY, I have loved the Arthur stories since I was a wee-lass. I ate up every retelling, read as many of the stories as I could find, etc etc. And through this, my two favorite characters became clear:
Morgana and Mordred. Oh yes, you can already see where this is going.
I loved Morgana because she was powerful and she was ruthless. Bitch didn't
care, she did what she wanted. Yeah you killed my dad and shipped me off to be married to some old fucker, of course I'm gonna want to get even! WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT IT? Not to say that I don't enjoy the more sympathetic versions of her, but she is at least always bad ass in them.
Meanwhile, Merlin's Morgana is ... what. She doesn't seem to have an once of magic, and just like. Makes fun of Arthur and gets him to do the things to ~help the people~ when she can't. WHAT. THE SHIT. IS THIS. You turned a fucking powerhouse of a female character into a powerless girl who just heaves her boobs all the time and is ~distressed~ over things she can't control. FUCK. YOU.
and then, I've also always loved Mordred. Lol you rape your sister, and then after hearing a prophecy that a kid born on the day he was will take your throne, you throw every kid born on that day onto a sinking ship? AND YOU DON'T EXPECT THAT TO COME BACK AND BITE YOU IN THE ASS? u hu hu hu, yeah right. This is a kid who got fucked over by the world, and just goes FUCK YOU back. bad ass.
AND THEN, WHAT LITTLE WE'VE SEEN OF HIM IN MERLIN ...
wat. The fact that they've introduced him already has basically solidified that he is not Arthur's kid which. basically ruins his ENTIRE PLOT, WHAT THE FUCK. You're just going to throw this kid in here to be the evil force, without any reason or background besides the fact that the MOTHERFUCKING TALKING DRAGON SAYS SO?
are you high?
... so in short: i fucking hate this show. I'm gonna go read the Crystal Cave until I feel clean again.
