Hard to believe how far standards have fallen in film and TV compared to when Merlin was being made. Back then, TV was made to delight and entertain. Today, it's just by the numbers.
One could argue that this is also the conflict of Uther as a ruler and a conquerer. Maybe even subtle foreshadowing that without his kingdom (shield) to protect him and vice versa, Uther could've gotten himself killed at a far earlier date.
this is the kind of fights a show have that makes you reignite the flame of the old tales you woud imagine as a kid about knights and monsters fighting

This episode REALLY made me want to see a show about how Uther rose to power and the people that were part of it. Kinda of like the prequels for Star Wars.
He was obviously strong and a capable leader and as mentioned in the series he won tournament's in his younger days but his weakness also stated in the series was his footwork so most likely wouldnt of beat Arthur but it wouldn't be easy for Arthur either my opinion haha.
If she was more seen in Merlin I think she might have been my favourite villain. ALthough Aredian and Morgana were nice. I find Aredian as man doing his job and Morgana as a martyr of Camelon. Nimueh wanted vengeange but rightfully so.
@@jacobitewiseman3696 Aredian was the witch finder played by Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) that wanted to execute Morgana, Gaius and Merlin for having magic. I mean that guy was ruthless BUT his job was to find people with magic and he worked fr a bit and was like "its obvious, Merlin, Morgana and Gaius have magic" meaning he was damn good at his job.
As much as I love this episode, I find it distracting how obvious the stunt double is here. Uther is left-handed, but when he puts his helmet on he starts fighting right-handed.
Uther is obviously right handed, and he just pretends to be left handed every day to make his opponents think he is left handed, truly a genius idea right there
@@fangirlinneverland6335 In this particular case it wasn't that hard to notice, because in almost every scene that he appears, Uther is holding something: either a pen, a sword, or usually a cup. This makes it easy to tell which hand he favors.
I recently binge watched this show (finished all five seasons in less than two weeks.) one thing I love about the show us the straight up brutality of the swordsmanship. No flash, no spinning in circles with the sword, no stick tappimg. Just straight up fighting and looking for a chance to kill your opponent. Felt very legit
@@fatihkasdemir5686 just fuck off scrub. i dont need telling how to use grammar or spelling. i know how to spell and use grammar and if you want to be technical you are not ment to use '*' but insisted meant to correct grammar with speech marks. so fuck of scrub
not quite. Merlin said Gwens father Tom had made the sword. Perhaps this should have made Uther think about making Tom the Royal Blacksmith??. Then MAYBE he wouldn't have died later on.
Però il combattimento tra re Uther e il cavaliere nero. È stato un combattimento tra titani. Davvero leggendario. Poi la spada Excalibur🗡️ che distrugge il cavaliere nero, carbonizzandolo è stato una vera figata. Poi è forgiata dal fuoco 🔥 di drago 🐲 . Per questo motivo e così potente.
It's a shame this is all we ever really get of this. Say what you will about his character, but the supposedly real Uther Pendragon led a war himself while suffering the equivalent of the plague. Not exactly the kinda guy to sit on a throne all day and let younger men die in his place.
Interesting match between two knights. One armed with a sword to be wielded in one hand, and the other hand holding the shield. And the Black Knight holding a large powerful sword with both hands. Sacrificing defense for maximum offensive power. Of course, as a wraith, there is no need for defense, but I suspect that even in life, the Black Knight equipped himself to fight with the most aggression possible.
If you are complaining about the lack of armour on Uther and knights in Camelot just remember this is supposed to be based on the 13th century. There might be a few pieces of armour in the show that come in the future (Morgause 's armet) but they probably ran out of equipment or something.
Wtf are you talking about?!? 13th century?!? No tf it is not, merlin is based off Within a century of the romans leaving britain irregardless of whatever bullshit you wanna spout that isnoutright a fact. The show is outright blatant with the ending showing 1500 years later aka old merlin in the modern day, the saxon invasions were very much active during this period and the saxons invaded england within the 4th to 6th centuries, the britons which is what camelot’s population would have been are the original celtic people of britain who predate rome….you need to learn wtf you are talking about before you EVER try and lecture people moron
@@heatherturner2366 dumbass no tf they did not. If it was in the 17th century there would not be fucking knights and there would be guns, a united england and more importantly NO CAMELOT. Dumb bitches like you have no idea wtf you are talking about
@@heatherturner2366 you can shut tf up and not message me again since you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Smooth brained morons like you need to learn their place and DO SOME GODDAMN RESEARCH ffs nothing in this show implies 17th century
Merlino è stato uno stupido a far vedere la spada Excalibur a Uther . Nonostante che il grande drago 🐲🐉 gli avvese detto di darla solo a Artù.🗡️🛡️👑🇬🇧🏴🇮🇹🏰
A very good show. The first two seasons had the best scripts. But after a while, good ideas just start to dry up. While there were some good episodes in the last three years, notably Arthur drawing Excalibur from the stone, the first two years were the best.
I'm only up to episode 9 right now, but why does Uther seem like a fool and he's inconsistent, he's ok sentencing a kid to death under the pretences of banned magic use but as soon as Arthur fights literally anything he's a coward. Uther is a horrible king nobody should make decisions out of fear and prejudice it's pure lunacy. Like with every species on this planet, there is good and evil, one bit of evil shouldn't speak for the masses.
The only thing that was good about Uther was that he was a great warrior (apparently a prodigy) and a good leader for battles, but up to that point, afterwards he was a complete garbage person, I hope Merlin hasn't saved him so much, he was too generous with uther and with modred don't even mention it.
I disagree. Apart from his stance on magic, Uther was actually a very good king. The kingdom was prosperous and Uther protected them well. He also loved Arthur and Morgana, and also signed peace treaties with Bayard and the 5 Kings.
Uther was always badass when it came to saving his son. This fight also when he fought the assassin who came to kill Arthur but ended up killing Uther. Also when he had just been mentally tortured by Morgana then ran out to be on the front lines of the siege. Another thing was when he stopped Arthur from marrying that Avalon girl who was tryna sacrifice him.
Hi - no sorry I can't do that. I have copyright to show examples of my work on this show under fair use, but I would be breaching copyright to show the whole episode.
Uther was worried that Arthur will die if he fought with the black knight. He couldn't dissuade Arthur. Therefore, Uther asked Gaius to drug Arthur and then lock him in his chambers.
A father stood up for his child. It's what every man can accept an honorable thing.
I agree this is one of the rare few moments where they show his concern and well being for the kingdom, and his family.
Hard to believe how far standards have fallen in film and TV compared to when Merlin was being made. Back then, TV was made to delight and entertain. Today, it's just by the numbers.
I love this so much. Seeing a glimpse of the noble and valiant human that is Uther Pendragon, before King Uther replaced him.
One could argue that this is also the conflict of Uther as a ruler and a conquerer.
Maybe even subtle foreshadowing that without his kingdom (shield) to protect him and vice versa, Uther could've gotten himself killed at a far earlier date.
EVERYONE looks like a baddass in shining knightly armor.
Sooooo true,and that's why i need a shining knightly armor.
Blackname51230 I couldn't agree more
Monsoon it’s quite expensive tho
Not if your magneto
Uther has always been a very badass character anyway.
Funny thing is, as much as I hate Uther, I don't think there was a time that Uther held a sword and I didn't want him to win in the entire series.
Uther vs Arthur in s2?
@@annam3243 Good point. Still didn't want him to lose though, the time wasn't right yet. But yeah good thing he didn't win either.
Did we watch the same show?
Me too
Someone i can relate with

That has Game of Thrones level of ruthlessnes and I'm here for it.
I know I would've loved to see it. Especially if it followed the original canon of Uther winning Camelot through conquest.
Wish they could bring this show back, it was so good 👍
I wonder how strong Uther was in his prime. Would he have matched Arthur back then?
Ares99999 Uther was a great fighter and a great commander.
GODS HE WAS STRONG THEN

One of my favorite episodes of this amazing show :)
Im 12 years late to this show and is magnificent.
Nimueh disliked this.

Go King Uther, come on Black Knight you don't stand a chance against Excalibur
So Black knight is Skeletor. Hmm that's why he was so sassy in Monty Python's Holy Grail.
you KNOW he suspects Merlin now
not quite. Merlin said Gwens father Tom had made the sword. Perhaps this should have made Uther think about making Tom the Royal Blacksmith??. Then MAYBE he wouldn't have died later on.

Reason number 1 as to why you should not fuck with Uther Pendragon: See the above scene!
That knight is a Nazgûl
Close but not exactly, if it was a nazgul it would have came back again until it’s master perish
Both are wraiths.
Im disappointed he didn't say "Tis but a flesh wound"
Isn't Uther left-handed?
stunt double is right-handed xD
Yeah, that bothered me too. In season 4 they fixed that.
Arthur is so pretty
Juda zõr❤❤❤😂😂😂
but why wasnt nimueh more shocked at its death. if i was a priestess of the O.R Id be wondering where the hell they got that sword from.
He wants to protect his son
The black Knight reminds me of batman but in the mid evil times
Which is weird because it's Marvel who has an Avenger called Black Knight.

Hey Uther was busy fighting, Arthur was locked in his own chambers and Merlin and Gaius was focused on the battle.

I’m a bit confused about why Arthur was abed as if he’d been ravaged by all his knightly pals?
If I remember right, Merlin drugged him to keep him from fighting the wraith knight to avoid him being killed.
Though it was Gaius who drugged him.
@@adamsagov1058 You are correct, it was Gaius
Uther was worried that Arthur will die if he fought with the black knight. He couldn't dissuade Arthur. Therefore, Uther asked Gaius to drug Arthur and then lock him in his chambers.
