User blog:Druidinhiding/Alternate Ending Theories and Thoughts

I have some thoughts on the ending of Merlin. We never got to see the alternate ending of Morgana saying, "Help me Emrys" and Emyrs replying, "Is this what you really wanted, Morgana??" I think this is the alternate ending whereby Morgana gains her redemption and repents for what she has done. We don't know why this alternate ending never took place but here are some possible theories:

Mordred took Morgana's place on the battlefield so Morgana was never slain in battle:

If Arthur had chosen to listen to the Disir and bring magic back to Camelot, Mordred would have died and Morgana would have fought in the Battle of Camlann because she had no warrior. Morgana would have been slain by Arthur using Excalibur rather than being struck by Emrys. Because of this, she reaches out to Emrys for help, because he is not her killer and she believes that he can save her.

Mordred fights alongside Arthur:

Arthur listens to the Disir and brings magic back to Camelot, but the Disir spare Mordred's life and destiny changes. Kara never dies because she no longer needs to ally herself to Morgana and the Druids are free to practice magic. Morgana still wants the throne of Camelot for herself. Arthur lends Mordred Excalibur and Mordred stabs Morgana. Morgana repents and reaches out to Emrys for help.

In the existing ending where Morgana's vision never takes place (by the way, Morgana was the only one who had this vision, no one else and she is no Lochru if you know what I mean), she never repents and never has a redemption. This may be because of Mordred's death at Camlann, which made her vengeful and grief-stricken and destroyed any good that was left in her. She looked like she had gone over the deep end after the battle and had totally lost it. The Cailleach's overarching prophecy that Morgana will meet her doom in the form of Emrys takes place. I think overall, Morgana's vision shows an alternate ending that could have been, and shows the human side of Morgana - even she realizes her ambition may not have been worth the desolation she caused.

Any thoughts on this?
