Regarding the legend of King Arthur, I still recommend the "Mist of Avalon" written by Marion Zilla Bradley after various researches. Although Arthur's hair color needs to be verified, it is compared to "The Legend of Merlin". It is a legendary work. Uther, who once held high the banner of the dragon's head to unite Britain and held a holy marriage with the Druid priestess, was indeed disgusted by the existence of magic, but he was definitely not a tyrant who killed those who used magic indiscriminately. His wife, Ignatius, was a descendant of Merlin Master Taliesin and the Lady of the Lake, and lived many years after Arthur's marriage, becoming an early queen in the play; Arthur's special heir status He was protected and sent to the vassal's home to grow up, and he didn't know his true identity until Uther died, which is not reflected in the play. Although the existence of King Arthur is a legend, even if it is a legend, it needs to have a certain authenticity. It is really unacceptable to ignore the data of ancient documents and directly change it.
Furthermore, the adaptation of the characters' identities is simply another wave of religious discrimination. Druidism, which worships goddesses, was the most popular religion before Christianity was introduced. It still held a certain status even in the days when Christianity was prevalent. The priests and priests of Druidism were not as dedicated to studying a certain scripture as priests. Advocating nature, wisdom and life. Druid priests who are good at medicine, dyeing, harp, foresight and ancient spells and who only silently help others in the dark have become the devil who uses magic to poison time, the first Merlin, the noble and wise Talie Xin and the second Merlin, the genius harpist Kevin, became a commoner named Merlin here, and he was still a servant, with different identities. Arthur, on the other hand, has changed from a humble, gentle and charismatic boy to a arrogant and arrogant second-generation king, degenerating the process of a king's maturity into a healing process of getting rid of impetuousness and various prince's diseases with the help of a servant.
Morgan, also known as Morgan Le Fay, is Mo Jiana in "The Legend of Merlin", originally Arthur's half-sister, the only daughter of the Duke of Tintagel Goloin, and later Duchess of Tintagel , Druid Priestess, Lady of the Lake, who can tell me why her biological father has inexplicably turned into Uther? Why did the Lothian Queen Morgoth, who was her aunt, become her sister? Why did Mordred, the child she shared with Arthur during the Holy Marriage, belong to someone else?
This gentle sister who grew up in Avalon shouldered the important task of restoring Avalon and was forced to fight against her younger brother, who was controlled by Christianity. In the end, she killed Kevin, the master Merlin who betrayed Avalon, and lived in seclusion forever in Avalon. Walloon, although not as beautiful as the image of Morgan created before the witch hunt, is more humane and more real. In The Legend of Merlin, the story becomes a kind victim, whose soul is dark and begins to take revenge on society. A tragedy of decent kills. The intelligent and independent Morgan is my favorite character. Probably the only good thing the crew of "Merlin" did to her was to give her a pretty face. Although the original Morgan also has a different kind of beauty, it is not as good as Mo Jiana is just as amazing. However, the crew started to blacken Morgan at least from the middle, not as much as twisting the noble and great Vivian (also known as Nimu) into a witch. No matter in the court of Uther or Arthur, the priests of the Druids have a high status. They are rich in knowledge. The Lady of the Lake and the Master Merlin have the right to intervene in the affairs of the state. They will never bow to any secular power. You see, all the characters related to magic are bullied in the play.
The most mischievous is Gwyneth, although the queen's reputation in other legends is not so good, but at least a few points are certain. She is the beautiful eldest daughter of King Rodgrande, with fair skin, long blond hair, an unparalleled face, and a noble and elegant manner, although the tragic queen's devotion to Christianity in "Mist of Avalon" is outrageous She is short-sighted and weak in character, but at least she is chaste and kind, and she is not so annoying. The key is that "Legend of Merlin" only retains this kindness. Her origin, appearance, and behavior have all been thrown away. The king became a blacksmith, the white fairy became a black pearl, the princess became a maid, and the perfect etiquette and self-cultivation became "I think...Oh I am not that mean..." This kind of contradictory and sick words, more than Morgan The adaptation is also distressing.
There is also Lancelot, the knight of the lake, the youngest son of Lady Vivian on the lake, who is unparalleled in beauty and bravery, including Arthur's queen guard, who has become a civilian directly. I wonder where the Merlin crew lost Lancelot and Arthur's cousin identities, and his noble title, I guess Vivian won't be able to get it back, and Camelot is The new capital built by Arthur, not the place where Uther has always ruled, apparently even the crew ignored this. As for Morgoth's eldest son Gawain and youngest son Gareth, they are probably all victims of the motherless series in the play. They are similar to Arthur and Lancelot. After all, their mothers have become equal, just because they are supporting roles. The changes will be slightly less.
I don't want to talk about the redundant legends anymore. It's blackening if you pick them up. Just talking about the show itself, someone once compared "The Legend of Merlin" with "Game of Thrones", which is really... incomprehensible. Please consciously compare the plot with the acting skills of the actors, and even the costumes, props and shooting techniques. Although the plot of "Game of Thrones" has also tended to be soapy since the fifth season, it is compared with the superhero growth-style bad work of "The Legend of Merlin". , it's really good, I'll give Morgan's face one star and Nimu's face the other. As for the others, I don't appreciate it.
