Arthur's death definitely wasn't the worst part of the atrocious and lacking finale. There were a lot more bad things, which include:


 * 1) No explanation for Aithusa aligning with Morgana.
 * 2) Nothing from the visions happening.
 * 3) No Dragon battle.
 * 4) The ending sequence a scene with Merlin in the 21st century. WTF!?!?
 * 5) No Mordred vs Arthur duel, just Mordred attacking him from behind and the two of them stabbing each other.
 * 6) No successor to the throne of Camelot after Gwen.
 * 7) Gwaine's unnecessary death.
 * 8) Morgana having a rushed death without redemption. We watched Morgana for 3 seasons being evil, and what was it building up to? Her being stabbed by Merlin, pathetic.
 * 9) Gaius being alive. People in the middle ages died before they were 60!
 * 10) No Sefa return.
 * 11) No Alvarr return.
 * 12) No Tristan return.
 * 13) Arthur not uniting the lands of Albion.
 * 14) Merlin failing his destiny.
 * 15) Magic not being returned to the realm.
 * 16) No explanation for Aithusa being the 'light of the sun'.
 * 17) Kilgharrah being 'old' in The Kindness of Strangers was all for nothing.
 * 18) The fact that Eira had more screen time in this episode than Mordred.
 * 19) Avalon not being the same Avalon we saw previously.
 * 20) And the list goes on...

This is just me, but I'd have to be quite benighted to somehow enjoy the finale. But everyone is different. That's just how I see it for myself.
