User blog comment:It's Good to be the Queen/It's a New Year, and people are STILL in mourning/@comment-5102537-20130101150821

My thoughts are that, aside from agreeing with most of what you wrote, I don't see what idealism and sense of honour Arthur was actually providing and what he could ever possibly achieve or change in the present times of progress, human rights and technology. They failed to describe him as a clever and capable king. With portaying him as a naive teenager who doesn't really know what's right or wrong and what he actually wants, there woud be nothing to do for him in the present times, except maybe bringing back magic somehow and throwing the civilised and progressed world out of the window by turning everything back to the Old Ways again. Not quite desirable. Good for the nature and every other creature on this planet, not good for mankind who would be opressed by the Old Religion again.

I don't see what good would come out of it when magic rules again and non-magic users would be forced to submit again.
