User blog comment:Morgana High Priestess/Which reign is better: Uther's or Arthur's?/@comment-3012002-20130120111653

Arthur was way better. Like Lurker said, Arthur actually cared for the people no matter what their status was. Look at Gwen for example, Arthur accepted her over time because she stood up for her beliefs and even defended her father when Uther indirectly spoke ill of him and paid the consequences and got slapped by Uther for it. Uther on the other hand, didn't care for the people in the same way Arthur did. He thought lowly of servants and didn't care if they died. Look at when Merlin got poisoned by Nimueh. Uther said "Oh, Merlin's dying, he can't be saved, he can be replaced" but Arthur defied his father saved him. See my point?
