The legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table is almost familiar to most people, if not read them all. The names of Gawain, Lancelot, Auther, and Merlin echoed in everyone's heart.
I've worshiped mages since I was a child, and wish I had the gift to experience the joy of magic running in my blood. Just like the definition of the mage tower in "Dragon Spear": no matter what path the mage chooses, justice, evil or neutrality, but the love for magic skills is the common bond between them, allowing them to sit down across the camp Explore together. The love for magic is beyond anything. Because I can't become a legendary mage, I especially like characters like mage, whether Raistlin in DL or Merlin in Arthur's legend.
The focus of "Merlin" is the wizard in his youth. Just like in the plot introduction, different from the wise Whitebeard Mage, this series is about Merlin, who was young and frivolous and first tasted the power of magic. With his perseverance and willfulness, he silently guarded the story of Auther, who was still a prince. . We use stereotypes to describe Brits all the time, but I have to admit that a few BBC shows that stand out from the flood of episodes really appealed to me, including The Secret Diary of Call Girl (The Secret Diary of Call Girl). When the plot came to a dead end, I ditched it =v=), The IT Crowd (I thought it was better than The Big Bang Theory), and Merlin.
I like the young and frivolous Merlin more than the calm and wise Warlock; I like the persistent and full of personality Merlin, more than Sorcerer who has been polished by years. Merlin should be flesh and blood, with his own thoughts, his own stage, and, of course, his own youth and frivolity. This series like a fan shows us such a Merlin who is experiencing himself, filling a big gap left by the legend for us.
The biggest advantage of watching a forward-turned-like person who has become a legend is that you can know whether this person will die by seeing the name of the player. Such as Lancelot, such as Auther, such as Guinevere, these people who still have a long way to go in the future will definitely not be casual. Well, although Auther had lunch a few times in order to show Merlin's achievements—but, they were all saved. And the name looks like the Oawin knights of the Soy Sauce Party. Before I have time to research whether there is such a person among the Knights of the Round Table, they died gorgeously, 囧.
However, the screenwriter must have identified the audience's inattentive mentality, so the father of the future princess Guinevere died in the first season. Isn't it the legend that this father gave Auther a round table? ! 囧, who would come out to give the round table later? Another big bad point is that Auther's princess Guinevere is actually black, which and Auther's plump and upturned buttocks make me feel orz. Rao is the princess who was born in a blacksmith's family, so she could not be the daughter of blacksmith, so she was smoked black, which is very embarrassing. Or is the writer creating a queen of spades and king of diamonds? Big 囧.
The identities of Morgana and Auther were also changed. Originally Morgana was supposed to be Uther's biological daughter, and Auther was supposed to be an illegitimate child. But in the setting of this show, Auther is the child that Uther prayed for with magic, although he didn't know it himself. And Morgana transformed herself into Uther's adopted daughter. I don’t know if such a change is a well-intentioned foreshadowing by the screenwriters, but since the screenwriters of European and American dramas often foreshadow a big foreshadowing and forget it in the end, and then it becomes a great foreshadowing, so my explanation for this is also With a wait-and-see attitude.
Guinevere's ambiguous attitude also makes me feel very embarrassed. When Merlin first appeared, anyone with eyes could see that this future princess was fond of our young mage. As soon as Lancelot appeared, the princess' heart flew. When Lancelot left, the princess stared at the window in a daze. Hey, even if these two are destined to have an extramarital affair later, there is no need to bury them so deeply! The most dizzying thing is when the first season is about to end, the screenwriter seems to suddenly realize, oh shit, if this continues, Guinevere will become Merlin's wife, so he quickly let Auther and Guinevere sparkle. 囧, screenwriter, even if this drama is not a Qiongyao drama, the feelings of this princess' classmates should be foreshadowed. Don't make the above men look like kittens and puppies. So cute!" So it fell in love, is it possible? Oops.
The dragon locked in the castle is a highlight. Although it keeps claiming to want Merlin to set him free, from what I've deduced from its habits and skin color, this is a brass dragon. As the name suggests, the elderly are simply willing to be locked up to facilitate communication with others. Every time Gaius or Merlin went to ask for help, they always spit out a lot of shit. Who's to say that's not the joy of life?
Gaius is also a bright spot. This court pharmacist is actually a high-ranking mage, with a madness that is not inferior to the cost of capital. Although he is usually very low-key, he actually knows everything and has profound knowledge and rich experience. Even remembering spells incorrectly at a critical moment is a bit of confusion that is comparable to that of our Platinum Dragon. Like Saiteen said, without this old lunatic, this TV series would definitely lose its color. So I can say responsibly that in the whole series, my favorite is this fat old man with a lot of knowledge.
Anyway, I still highly recommend this series. Although I accidentally clicked on the latest episode 9 of the third season of the cat and found that Uther is still alive. Alas, that is to say, according to the screenwriter's progress, "Merlin" can be filmed for ten seasons without any problem, and the Sword in the Stone has not yet appeared, 囧. But it's really good, like it~!
