I feel like this should have been a scene
I'm feeling the biggest clown ever because I'm excited about the things Eion and Bradley have been saying about Merlin but I think they'll just do a zoom meeting
this will be Colin the entire meeting trying to figure it out how to turn on the mic because the poor man don't have technology in his cave
Say what you want about BBC Merlin, but none of the actors had to go as hard as they did with their performances. It was a show for kids, the CGI was shite, and on Robin Hood (which was the series before Merlin) no one except Richard Armitage bothered to act as seriously.
But the fact that they did is what makes it so popular, what makes it endure, what pushes it and its characters and ships up the list in the fandom metrics each year. The actors took it seriously, they left an amazing legacy, particularly Colin Morgan and Bradley James. Even the devastation of the ending couldn’t break the fandom apart because it was sad, but it was so well done you almost didn’t mind. And that’s why a show which ended eight years ago is still so strong in the hearts of so many people.
Merlin: “Arthur.” Dramatic sobbing ”I’m Irish.”
Arthur: “Don’t be stupid Merlin, You’re not Irish, I would know.”
Merlin: “Arthur, I am Irish. Look.” Potatoes rain from the sky
Arthur: …get away from me
