Board Thread:(Re)Writing "Merlin"/@comment-5674726-20150510102645/@comment-24762954-20150521131305

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that "Merlin" demonstrates a quite interesting approach here - I can't name any adaptation where Arthur at least knows his father. Morgana's character also deserves attention. She is ... illogical and volatile(at least at the beginning), instead of good or evil. Another positive moment is their adequite social behavior - Arthur and Morgana are not as noticeably noble as Uther but it is there. Question is: should any of those things get attention or should they remain in background?

Also, many adaptations make Merlin relative of Uther and Arthur, which always looks kind of funny in fanfiction. Perhaps, hints about that would be good idea.
