Seconded! Had this on tape, it was my second Arthurian piece of media after Disney's Sword in the Stone, it was wonky, but emotional. Our villain Mab has the funniest little raspy voice lol. It's only an hour total and well worth a watch!
This is a bit off topic for my typical stuff
And it's not actually about the show that the majority of you talk about
But I'm just hoping since you're a fan of the character Merlin that there are those out there who have seen Sam Neill's version
Yes Sam Neill, the guy from Jurassic park
There was a Merlin mini series that came out when I was a teenager so this thing is like 20 years old
And you all deserve to get to enjoy it
I honestly have no idea where you could stream it from if you can't find it on an illegal site
But honestly, it's a beautiful thing to enjoy from it's time period
And I hope you get to
ETA: apparently it's on YouTube I've linked it below
Spin the wheel and whoever you get, you have to fight in one to one melee combat. You can't run away.
if you need a refresher on who you got, The Arthurian Name Dictionary by Christopher W. Bruce and The Arthurian Companion by Phyllis Ann Karr has you covered.
My New Year's Resolutions are to be kinder, sillier, and carry a threatening aura.

OVER THE GARDEN WALL (2014)
Im unwell about Morgan again.
Im reminded that some modern stories make Morgan evil for no reason AFTER Camlann. And I hate that.
Like, Vita Merlini, Didot Percival, Vulgate Cycle, Post Vulgate and Le Morte D'Arthur all agree Morgan saves Arthur and brings him to her island.
And other stories like Tirant lo Blanc, Bataille Loquifer and Huon de Bourdeux have Morgan and Arthur hang out together.
But it feels like most Modern stories, like, straight up ignore this to have their "supervillainess", who exists only to be beaten up by the heroes in their works.

Rebecca Sugar cooked with "Character whose entire existence is devoted to the service of another character who's now dead and now they have no idea what to do with themselves except live." I love that shit. I forged myself into a tool for you and now you're gone. I'm sniffing this like a bloodhound
