User blog:Sir Dagonet the jester/The strange case of Morgana Pendragon

"Dark is my heart. The greatest of all secrets.". These words were spoken by Deathshead from Wolfenstein: The New Order. He is a nazi mad scientist and as far as villains go, you can't get more campy and ridiculous. Yet, Deathshead is one of the more nueanced nazi antagonists in recent years which is odd, considering Morgana, who had the makings of a wholesome three-dimensional character and became a typical baddie.

Dark is her heart and the greatest secret is how she fell from grace. We had a mastervul beginning with season 2 and yet with season 3, we had a cunning, egotistical, murderous witch, who had almost nothing in common with the corageous, rebellious and compassionate gal before. We deserved an explanation. The time jump here, more tahn anywhere else, was detrimental to the character development.

Fine, if yo want her to be just a despicable one-dimensional wicked witch, go for it, but at least give us a amned good reason why she turnt.

I pondered on the matter and concluded that Morgause either made a shade out of Morgana, or put her through The Sacred Fire ritual. These explanations looked good, but one of my firends noted, that Morgause would never do such despicable things to Morgana.

Ultimately, the things should have been different and Morgana should have been something much more than what we got. I think, that Katie somewhat feels the same way deep down and this was one way of maturing the show (because darker doesn't make something mature for me. but grey morality does).
