I don't think any of them were depicted as 'bad guys'; if anything, I think this plotline and Mordred's character in particular are unusually well-depicted as ambivalent. You can see both sides of the situation. You can understand where Arthur is coming from (Kara had proven herself to be dangerous and had blatantly threatened that more is to come),  and you can also understand where Kara is coming from (and with her, other vengeful people with magic): they'd been persecuted and killed for years without any real promise of change. I always had liked the element of showing Morgana and others like her as people who genuinely suffered and had good reason to be angry. But Arthur can't be blamed either for trying to protect his kingdom. Modred's character is freaking adorable, I love how he's really such an innocent little boy who genuinely wants so much to be good, and is so torn between his own strong emotions.
