Talk:Lancelot du Lac/@comment-5674726-20130704000125

Another episode that serves to illustrate that Morgana would have been a much more successful antagonist if she could only wrap her head around Rule 4 of the Evil Overlord List.

"Shooting is not too good for my enemies."

Forget sending Shade!Lancelot to seduce Guinevere. Had she had the sense to instruct him to visit her in her home during the night and kill her, her absence wouldn't have been noticed until morning, by which point she'd have been beyond saving.

For some bizarre reason, Arthur was able to marry Guinevere and to have her accepted as Queen rather than having the nobles and a sizeable percentage of the commoners kick up at the idea of her as Queen when, as far as anybody other than Morgana knew, she had cheated on him the day before they were due to be married. A dead Guinevere would be considerably less likely to become Queen.
