I like him but I got the same thing.

I'm not a Morgana fan (because of how she was written after her conversion to the dark side as a cackling, idiotic, ineffectual caricature) but it's weird how her POV should technically be the more modernly sympathetic POV but she's the villain and Merlin, who spent his time aiding a despot (Uther), a well-meaning but ultimately ineffectual king (because Arthur changed, like, nothing regarding the genocide of druids), was the hero. Weird.

I get that they wanted to make Merlin conflicted and all that, which they did (sometimes to good effect), but when you got to the end, you were kind of like, "Yeah but...Arthur ruled for like seven seconds and did nothing and Merlin was the guy who facilitated it? Why's it called Merlin?"

Technically, Gwen did all the great Camelot, Kingdom of Awesome, shit so it's even weirder because it's like the series revolves around Merlin and how he interferes, gets Arthur killed with his interference, and in a round-about way establishes Kingdom of Awesome because he kind of managed to get Arthur out of the way for Gwen to rock it.

No offense, Merlin fans. Your show is fun and I do like the characters. It was really sad when Arthur died.

Exactly. Neither Arthur nor Merlin felt like heroes by the end. All that "great destiny" the dragon kept going on about never actually came to fruition.

I didn't feel anything when Arthur died. And I'd loved him in the first couple seasons.

Yeah. None of the stuff the Dragon said was true, which if they'd MENTIONED THAT and established it, could have been really interesting in the potential, but it was just a hot mess.

Then arthur and merlin where the red herring with gwen as the real hero

This is pretty much how I saw it the end too. It would be left up to Gwen to bring in an era of peace. Which, good for Gwen I guess, but didn't make much sense for everything the show was building up.

Merlin never did anything to help others with magic. It would have made more sense for Merlin to have been the one that died and Arthur would change the rules surrounding magic after learning of everything Merlin did for him.

If they didn't write in Morgana killing innocent people just to prove that she's a 'bad guy now' I would have been rooting for her 100%.

Which is precisely why they had Morgana killing innocent people. They knew that otherwise she had the moral high-ground.

This post made me realize that Gwen was the only character who got anything even CLOSE to a satisfying arc.
