The look Mordred gives Merlin when he says that he was delayed says it all. Mordred clearly knows that Merlin hesitated to save him. Like I said this a very understandable mistake, however I think Merlin does make it worse by hesitating to save Mordred. Still I wouldn’t put the blame of what happens entirely in the finale on Merlin’s actions in this episode. It can easily be changed and the Dragon even tells Merlin that if he allows the child to live, then he cannot fulfil his destiny, and hey this is what happened exactly in the finale. Still you can see what I mean about how this episode alone shows us that Arthur’s destiny is not a something that is definite. It would take a cold hearted bastard to let a pleading child be executed. Mordred was just an innocent child at the time. Now in all fairness to Merlin this is the least of his mistakes. The Dragon makes it very clear that there are two possible futures that could unfold here. Once again neither Arthur’s destiny as a great king, or his death at Mordred’s hand are absolutely going to happen. The Great Dragon warns Merlin against saving this boy, as if he does then the boy will kill Arthur when he grows up. In the season 1 episode “The Beginning of the End” Merlin meets a young druid boy named Mordred. In this article I am going to go through the ways in which Merlin fails to save Arthur and Camelot and fails to bring about the future Kilgarrah had foreseen, entirely through his own mistakes. They were simply one of many possible futures that the Dragon had foreseen in some way using magic.Ī lot of fans have blamed Kilgharrah and even Arthur himself for the bleak ending, but to me the blame for Arthur’s death and Camelot’s fall rests solely on the shoulders of a young man. Merlin and Arthurs destinies were not a foregone conclusion either. For instance Gwen being crowned Queen does not unfold the way Morgana had foreseen it, nor does Morgana’s death at Merlin’s hand. This is further backed up by the fact that we see many other futures change in Merlin. It’s more a case of if Merlin does things correctly then that future will unfold. It is never presented as a case of no matter what happens Arthur and Merlin are destined to bring about this great kingdom. Even just simple monsters like the Questing Beast that poisons Arthur are powerful enough to prevent this great destiny from happening. The Dragon says that there is a prophecy that Arthur will unite the lands of Albion and bring magic back, but lets not forget he also warns Merlin that there are a number of threats that could prevent this from happening. It’s presented as a possible future that might happen, but it could just as easily not.
#Will there be a merlin season 6 series#
Throughout the series Arthur and Merlin’s destiny are if you will pardon the pun, not set in stone. I think that the reason Arthur never became a great king was simply because Merlin fucked up. I meanwhile have developed my own theory as to why Arthur and Merlin’s supposed destiny never happened. A favorite of mine is the Kilgharrah conspiracy here. Other fans meanwhile developed their own theories to explain why Arthur died in spite of what the Great Dragon kept telling us. Many fans argued that Arthur dying before he brought magic back made the whole series itself redundant. He did bugger all in his five years as the ruler of Camelot. Unfortunately however this never happened! Arthur if anything looked like a rather inept king. For five years we had been told that Arthur Pendragon is destined to unite the warring kingdoms of Albion and bring magic back to the realm. But it's far too early to tell, of course.Like many other fans of the BBC fantasy series Merlin I was severely disappointed in its ending. The original manga release of the series will also be getting an official sequel some time this year as well, so maybe the film could even be tied into that. With The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon's Judgment currently making its way through Japan, there's no telling what this new story will entail or whether or not the final events of the manga will be reflected in the anime's currently scheduled 24 episode run. The film's logo has been revealed through the franchise's official Twitter account, and you can check it out below: Aiming for a release in Japan later this Summer, The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light, will feature a completely original story from original series creator Nakaba Suzuki. Kodansha has announced The Seven Deadly Sins will be releasing a brand new anime feature film set after the events of Dragon's Judgment.
