User blog comment:Morganaforever/What annoys you most in the main characters?/@comment-180964-20120508005104

Wow great blog post as always Chris and good job with just sticking with the four main characters because there the most important to the story in the end. The other main supporting character could be used for another blog post or if someone just simply comments on them.

First off with Merlin I do agree with that it is annoying that he simply can't make up his mind with things. An the best use of that statement comes when ever its with Morgana, the use of his powers and revealing his magic to people. I mean just for excample of some characters who found out Merlin's Magic before any of the core main character or the main supporting characters was the characters of Gilli and Edwin Muirden. An when it comes to the use of his powers one minute he will be doing something like using Magic to kill Agravaine or Nimueh. Next minute he will be either barely using his magic to try and kill the Lamia or basically trying to kill Mordred by tripping him with a spear. I mean there is many great moments throughout the show when it comes to the use of Merlin's Magic and his Dragonlord Powers along with some great times when other characters finding about his magic. But then there is just the same amount of times when his use of magic gives off the impression that it thats all you got. Also there list miles long of times that would of been perfect for other characters to find out about his Magic. An I do real agree with you when it comes to the show not acknowledge that fact that he has been responsable for some of the show major villains.

Now for Morgana I do agree with you it is annoying how drastic the show has developed her I mean I understand the show probably planed on having her be the villain when they were developing it and I do like how she is as of Series 4. However her change has just been way to drastic between the end of Series 2 and the start of Series 3 I mean one minute friends with Merlin, Arthur and Gwen next minute I hate you all. Just for excample with her and Merlin during Series 3 they real didn't go into a good conversation about him poisoning her. I mean they did have a small version of the conversation but it was during the time when she was still fooling him before he realized she turned bad. I would of liked to see a better version of that scene during Series 3 because I think the show could of handled that certain coversation between the two of them differently. As for her being scared of Emrys I understand the idea of being scared of the name because there trying to use the name as a bad omen for her future. However the Old Merlin Disguise I don't find scary or treating when I think of Merlin being scary or treating it when he looks normal and he his using his Magic or Dragonlord Powers against a villain.

Now as for Arthur and being annoying were do you start with him its kind of big list. There is him being oblivious and stupid an a overall idiot when not realizing his best friend and closes ally his a great a poweful sorcerer. An this great and powerful sorcerer has used Magic more times than he could count to save his life. Also this best friends of his has the power to control Dragons and he pretty much shaping Arthurs entire future. However if him not knowing about any of basic information about his best friend is annoying him constantly treating his best friend as a idot servant and not simply as a loyal friend is also annoying. An him judging people his just bad I mean there his terrible judgment of Morgana and Agravaine which are the recent most popular ones however his own father can be used as a excample as well. I mean I completely understand the idea of being loyal to your father and family overall that should always be a must. However Arthur sometimes just blindly agreed with his father on a lot thing that he should of questioned if they were the right chose.

An last but not least Gwen she is very simlar to Arthur when it comes to things that are just simply annoying in the end both characters have a long list. First her love interest on the show Series 1 mainly Merlin until Lancelot showed up than once he left it end with Arthur. Series 2 it was Arthur once again Lancelot shows up again and than quickly leaves back to Arthur. Then Series 3 happen all Arthur and one Lancelot final appeared her basic reaction was oh hi your back thats nice. An with Series 4 she basically ask Lancelot protect Arthur with your life he dies and she cries like when her Dad died. Now the issue of her with Lancelot mainly deals with his character being poorly used throughout the series. But still either breakup with Lancelot since he wasn't there a lot during the time he was alive or say loyal to him stop switching back and forth. Also one minute she is a strong woman that can stand up for her self and speak her mind an even defend her self next minute she is a servant who always does what she is told. In the end the show can't seem to make up there mind with her character.

However in the end with all four these characters one of the most annoying thing that the show constantly does with them is they make these four main characters get constantly manipulated by several key supporting characters. Gaius, Morgause, Agravaine, Uther or Kilgharrah have each on many different times manipulated these character into thinking a certain way, doing something or simply hating characters because they don't like them. In the end even though I enjoy all four of the main characters especially Merlin and Morgana it was interesting to talk about the moments when they can be real annoying.
