User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Why are so many people taking Kara and Mordred's side?/@comment-1208713-20121221174754/@comment-5102537-20121222110234

I agree, Chris, calling people delusional is quite rude and unnecessary. We're only talking about a TV show, after all. As long as the fans don't live such concepts when defending the villains or siding with them, all is fine.

I understand your point of view, Chris, since you like Morgana so much. Of course, we want to see the good sides in those we favour. I just would wish, generally, that when talking about morals which we can only set when comparing them to the real life and our own moral standards, people would try to see that things are repeating themselves with Mordred and other sorcerers/magic-users and that it's illogical to condemn, for example, Uther for taking revenge when his innocent wife died at the hands of magic but at the same time siding with Mordred because his girlfriend died who happened to be a callous killer.

I'm most of all astonished that obviously the show itself doesn't work this out and wants the viewers to believe that they are indeed right to do so. That's my problem with the show. Obviously, every cruel and brutal thing done by sorcerers is justified even though the show itself pointed out that magic almost destroyed the land long before Uther came to Camelot. As mentioned before, it wasn't Uther who started it all. His strike against magic was hard and cruel but he didn't start it - which doesn't make it better. It's just double standard in my opinion, demonstrated by the show, that everyone with magic is okay and can do whatever they like because we have to sympathise with them, when actually they (magic, to be more precise) were the ones who started it all in the first place. I think the Triple Goddess is the best example for that, not to mention Nimueh, Morgause and Morgana, her loyal servants.

People tend to forget that, and that's annoying because it makes a mockery of the plot and of particular characters. It supports the concept of revenge and of ruthlessly killing others in the name of justice which isn't justice.

Another annoying thing is that Arthur is being portrayed as a harmless puppy who doesn't know what to think, whats right and wrong, who is supposed to be influenced by Uther and who is too dull to realise anything which makes him an easy target for manipulation. He slaughtered the druid camp on his own will and it was not said at any point of the show that Uther killed children after the Great Purge. All we know is that during the Great Purge he did such terrible things, but not when it was over. When he later ordered Arthur to raid the second Druid camp, he did so because he thought that the druids had attacked, threatened and kidnapped his daughter. I think it wasn't a good idea to describe Arthur as a leaf in the wind that swings from one side to another because he is not supposed to have an own opinion, to be straight on things and to have a strong character. He is not the little boy of his big daddy but a grown-up man and king. And he was right to judge Kara. It's totally laughable that he is is own bane because nobody can't expect him to suddenly give in and to allow all magic-users to continue attacking and conspiring against him, his loved ones and Camelot. As we could see, Kara didnt even accept his offer and was willing to die only because of her hatred. With sorcerers/magic-users like her or Morgana, nothing could ever be achieved. And that was what Uther knew too.
