User blog comment:LokiIsAwesome/What do you think of 'The Trilogy of Movies'?/@comment-123.211.169.220-20150915061237

I agree, a reboot would be incredibly ridiculous and simply just a waste of time - these studios are really just milking it. It's like Spider-Man all over again. So many reboots, different casts, so much time wasted.

Colin Morgan and Bradley James already implied that they are done with their characters and any other Merlin projects, which I find really sad. Eh, they are their own person, and it's their decisions, but honestly if they ever do make a reboot or a film trilogy with a new cast, I probably won't be interested. O ne of the main reasons I watch the show is because I can't imagine any other actor replacing the original Merlin actors.

It's understandable and reasonable that as an obsessive Merlin fan I'm desperate for more Merlin, and as much as I would love a Series 6 and a film trilogy, I know Colin and Bradley won't be up for it. And if the writers dare make a reboot and cast new actors, it wouldn't be the same, would it? Personally I feel it wouldn't be Merlin anymore.

I guess I'm just so used to the original Merlin cast, and that my main reason for opposing the idea of having a film trilogy/reboot is because they will cast new people and possibly change the entire story. I'm not saying it would be horrible if they made another movie based on the Arthurian legend (because of course there will be more of them), I'm saying that if they were ever to green-light a reboot/film trilogy with a new cast, it preferably should not be based on the BBC Merlin. Then again it's already 2015, and we haven't heard of any new Merlin news since two years ago. I'd at least like a two-parter reunion episode or one theatrical movie with the original cast, but I guess we can only dream.

I am yet to watch Diamond of the Day this weekend, and I've enjoyed the five-series-long journey with Merlin (I know, I'm many years late to watch such an epic show!). I'll just see what happens in the finale-finale (*cries*) and treasure it, then watch the entire show all over again!
