The turning point for Morgana was finding out that she had a claim to the throne. Uther's lie, and probable assassination of her father fueled her hatred. She acted as she had suffered her whole life and yet-she was born in a noble family, became the ward of the most powerful king the realm, and her powers didn't become apparent until her early twenties. She only became a high priestess because her sister showed her the ways. Her purpose was never to bring back magic, or justice for those who had it. Her eyes were always on the throne of Camelot and the power she thought it brought her, which wasn't much because she was willing to kill knights and civilians alike. Did she really want to rule over ruins and corpses? She tortured and killed her own in her quest to vanquish Emrys and in turn take Camelot.

A lot of the issues I have with Morgana also have to do with KM's acting. The ever-present smirk, talking through her teeth, the distressful crying with no tears, and ending every other sentence like a question. It became unbearable
