User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Why are so many people taking Kara and Mordred's side?/@comment-5102537-20121217140640/@comment-5102537-20121217143141

Yes, I mean Uther - and no, what Mordred does is not so different because he knows that Morgana will start a war, will take away Merlin's powers and that Camelot will be defenceless against the combined powers of Mordred and Morgana with Merlin/Emrys out of order. Thousands of people will die. If Mordred only wanted revenge on Arthur and Merlin, he would try to kill them, instead he joins forces with crazy Morgana and bring on Camelot's downfall. The reason is, he probably suddenly thinks that Camelot is the evil that has to be fought (even though Arthur didn't kill Kara because of her magic but because she killed dozens of men, and he even offered her to spare her life).

With Uther, he also fought magic because he learnt that it's an uncontrollable power that is too tempting and will lead to evil and destruction, as he already saw when coming to Camelot and when the land was almost destroyed by magic. Still, Uther had a better reason than Mordred does because Camelot is not an uncontrollable, tempting and supernatural power but simply a kingdom. Kill the king and the queen and Camelot will fall when someone else takes it over. With magic, it wasn't that simple. Uther couldn't just kill one or two sorcerers to stop magic.

But the reason, one of the reasons, meaning loosing their loved ones, are the same. How come that people understand Mordred who lost his loved one but not Uther who suffered the same? revenge on Mordred's side is okay but on Uther's side it's not? That's what  wrote on my latest block about magic.
