''Arthur's attempt to bring about at least a bit more equality could have been demonstrated in a more intelligent and meaningful way, whether he succeeds in the end or not. By making only one character seemingly responsible for differences in classes (Uther) which wasn't believable, the audience could point a finger at just one character instead of bothering themselves about logic and sense.''

Had it been a genuine struggle for Arthur to make a difference in terms of class divisions, it'd also have given him a cause that was just as valid as that of the magic users, so even though he wasn't making strides towards accepting magic, he would be seen to be working to make his kingdom a better place, as opposed to being able to do pretty much as he wished and have it accepted, despite previously insurmountable obstacles. Instead of Uther being shown as the source of all that was unjust in the world, it could be made clear that Arthur was fighting a long and difficult battle against the widely held views of his peers. Maybe he wins the battle of knighting commoners and loses the battle to marry a commoner but he continues to fight for as long as he lives.
