User blog:Emily Windsnap/What's so great about Lancelot?

ok, I'm so going to get alot of hate comments from this post but I'm serious, ok?

"The bravest and most noble of them all," What? So many people are so obsessed with Lancelot and I don't quite understand it...

Lancelot was in Merlin for a total of six episodes (if you count the one with him as a shade,) and I'm afraid he doesn't stand out to me as the bravest and most noble of all of the knights. I liked Lancelot because he knew of Merlin's magic and was a good friend to him. His personality is so bland! No character developent at all, and he's just kind of boring. I didn't really like the love triangle thing with Gwen, it was just kind of weird and akward and I couldn't really see them as a couple.

As for when he sacrifices himself for Camelot, if they had been there, I believe every one of the knights would have done the same if it was up to them. They have all pledged their loyalty to Arthur and would all willingly give their lives for Camelot and I know that at least Gwaine would for Merlin, I think the others would possibly as well.

The writers also destroyed his character in Lancelot Du Lac. I hated that episode.

Anyway, I don't hate Lancelot's character, I just don't particuarly like him, especialy compared to some others, I mean, take Gwaine! Gwaine started out as a commoner who didn't want anything to do with any royalty, plus, he actually had the right to be a knight but he's never told anyone, still, even in season four, he hasn't told anyone besides Merlin, now that's humility! Now he's a knight who's dedicated his life to protecting Camelot at Arthur's side! Gwaine is also a great friend to Merlin and I think he should be the next to discover his secret. Gwaine is also amazing with a sword, funny, brave, kind hearted, and has fantastic hair! hahaha!

Lancelot is just kind of...meh, you know? So anyway...thank you for reading, I didn't write this whole thing just to bash Lancelot, I just don't understand why he's so great, so please leave a comment! :)

PS. Sorry if there are any typos or errors, I was in a hurry.
