Good video! Interesting thought: Kilgharrah says "You and the the boy are as different as night and day." In the interactions with the earlier Mordred, Merlin is more light and Mordred is more darkness , in series five, Mordred is more light (innocent and sweet and believing in the inherent goodness of those around him) while Merlin is more dark, (particularly in regards to Mordred, he is cold and suspicious and there's virtually no line he won't cross to protect Arthur from the threat he sees in Mordred.)
Yes, after a dark promise not to forget or forgive - which, I think, really draws a line between Mordred's past and present selves - Mordred comes back as all forgiveness and giving second chances. But Merlin gave him none and tragedy followed. If only Merlin didn't grow up after all, huh? It is quite fascinating how he couldn't carry on with being so good-hearted, how he changed both too late, to chose an easy, instrumental way, but also too soon to reap the rewards of his goodness, too soon to carry on being kind and leading by example. It gives me a strong sense of doom, perhaps even more so because that darkness just wasn't him, be wasn't being true to himself. Perhaps when he first killed to protect Arthur, it was himself that he killed.
@@nomeayano7757 your last sentence applies to everyone. If you kill someone you kill a part of yourself [probably the soul] too. You'll never be the same again.
@@granville7 That'a very true. In a certain book series a character was going to do a sacrifice, involving killing someone. The tables turned and her target was going to use her instead. She remarked it wouldn't work because he had already killed someone in his life; that she wasn't really sacrifcing him as much as her own innocence. Just an interesting illustration of what you said. Though, if I remember correctly, I was also thinking differently of that. That literally Merlin had to kill himself first, symbolically, for Arthur, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the demands of protecting Arthur, wouldn't have been able to kill for Arthur.
Merlin and Mordred was such a tragic relationship from the beginning... The prophecy ruined them. It's funny how first Merlin didn't believe Kilgharrah's claims and did as he pleased (saving Morgana for example) but following Dragon's words afterwards (not trusting Mordred and not helping him - if Kara was just a druid girl, not important to Mordred I have a feeling Merlin wouldve helped her himself just as he risked his life to help the fake druid boy's sister just few episodes earlier)... Oh man I loved Mordred, his story is so sad, all he ever wanted was to be accepted, loved and feel that he belongs somewhere and he was stripped of it, just because Merlin was paralyzed with fear and wanted to prevent the prophecy from happening hence made it happen, like with all the propecies before... Oh he shouldve known better :( What a beautiful video, thank you for making it :) Cheers, mate
The druid girl Kara was a corrupted soul even before she met Arthur for the first time. He was very kind and willing to pardon her but Kara was intend on killing Arthur anyway and Mordred was blind to her faults. Merlin couldn't have solved that mess even if we disregard everything that happened between Merlin and Mordred before.
Merlin was selfishly loving Arthur and seeing NOONE but him . Or maybe he loved himself . Since Arthur was HIS destiny and he’d be NOTHING without Arthur . He could’ve saved Morgana since the start so none of these would happen . He should’ve been her friend . Telling her about his own magic . Just like he did with Freya . Mordred would’ve been good too . Along side with Merlin , Morgana and Arthur . Camelot would be hell strong .
Well done. These two breaks my heart; they could have been great together. I wish Merlin hadn't seen in the future and just saw Mordred as himself without his tainted lens. Maybe then they could have been friends, and everything wouldn't have gone to hell
But everything still would have gone to hell. “Destiny”. But to support your point in Greek mythology the worst thing you could do when you hear a prophesy is do anything to try to make it not happen. Everything you did to stop it would be what made it happen. Oedipus being a good example.
@@thereseo6008 agreed. Even with Merlin and Mordred be the best of friends that Kara plot would have ruined the whole thing. As long as Mordred is more besotted with her (despite her being intend to kill the king) than being friends with Arthur and Merlin there was no good way out of it.
It hurt that when Merlin decided not to listen to Kilgharrah (saves Morgana when she falls down the stairs; tries to help her with her magic), Morgana becomes evil like the prophecy said she would, but when Merlin decided to listen to Kilgharrah (Tries to kill Mordred when he was a boy, treats Mordred with suspicion, tells Arthur not to accept magic with the Disir so Mordred can die), Mordred still becomes evil like the prophecy said he would! I just feel so bad for Merlin. Not matter what he does, he couldn't escape Fate
actually, it was listening to Kilgarrah in the first place that lead Morgana down that path. He should have been her guide and anchor, but instead he sent her to others, not trusting her.
@@sayitsayuri8951 yeah, I think that the prophecys of Kilgarrah must one of the following: accomplish at the first occasion (like killing Mordred when he was a kid), or ignore it completely (trusting Morgana etc.)
@@sayitsayuri8951 if Merlin had not told ather that magic should not be allowed in Camelot in the episode where Arthur is being judged by the gods his fate was not 100 percent sealed untill this episode and that is why Mordred suvivded because he picked not to allow magic. But there are still things Merlin could of done like tell the young dragon to stay away from Mogarna since it was the breath of a dragon on the sward that killed him his other mistake was when he got his magic back was looking threw the dead bodies instead of keeping a look out for Mordred
listen to me for a minute ok? if only the dragon never told merlin about mordred he wouldn’t have been so “mean” to him and instead of mordred being a part of arthurs death, merlin and mordred would have protected arthur together. AND if merlin never went to that “future telling” cave he wouldn’t have seen what morgana was gonna do to uther and she would have still been “nice” and close friends with merlin and he would have taught her about magic. so moral of the story is that if merlin hadn’t known the future arthur would have been alive 😂😅
True. I guess they wanted to stay true to the legend tho so they needed a way to make Mordred "evil" and kill off Arthur, I'm assuming they wanted to end the show with his death 😂😂😂. And as a previous comment said Morgause would have ruined Morgana no matter what had happened. Also its the Crystal Caves, IDK why but none seems to remmeber the name or Morgause is the name of Morgana's half sister (that want aimed at you 😂😂😂😂 I was just having a bit of a rant at the end)
That's the point. We will forever be hung upon the question of whether all of this would have happened without the Great Dragon's prophecy. 💔 Was it always meant to be this way, by itself? Was it just a self-fulfilling prophecy? Or was it always meant to come about because Kilgharrah was always going to trigger it, without knowing he was doing exactly that, just believing it was fixed? In a way, fate is flexible here, at least judging from the way the Great Dragon talked about it. He had said Merlin would have to kill the young Mordred or fail to fulfill his destiny. In a way, Merlin managed both in the end; he saved the boy Mordred once was, whom Kilgarrah demanded dead, and yet still fulfilled his destiny. Perhaps it is for this turn of events thaf he paid so greatly - soiled his morality, ironically for the sake of doing what's right first, and got his hands bloody. And sacrificing so much not just of himself, ah, so many lives.
Truth is, if Merlin let Mordred die at the beginning, Arthur might have been alive. There only is a prove you can't stop the prophecy. Everytime Merlin or someone else tried to prevent some prophecy from happening, they only helped it to actually happen and if they had no idea and acted differently, the prophecy maybe wouldn't come true .
well, technically you are right. If Merlin killed off everyone who could have been a potential threat to Arthur then he would probably be still alive. Is that the logic here? Because that is ridiculous. It would have turned Merlin into a monster. A monster who kills preventively or as a precaution. Seriously?
@@granville7 Oh, no no, I meant that everytime Merlin had a vision about something happening, it was eventually happening because he tried to prevent it from happening, and so if he never had the vision of the future or the prophecy, he would have no need to stop it from happening and therefore it would maybe not actually happen. There was so many situations where he was trying to prevent the prophecy and by that he actually helped it, unintentionally. It was always a congruence of unfortunate circumstances. And it's not that he should have killed everyone, of course not, that would be against everything he stood for. But the truth is there were some moments where he should have listened to the dragon. He always trusted his good heart and that also was what made him so suspicious in the last season, because he felt like it had failed him couple times before, and didn't want to be deceived again... But by that, again, he actually helped the prophecy to come true :// Sorry that it's so long, I just tried to explain my point of view the best I could :D
@@elysse4929 don't worry about the length of your text.^^ If we judge his actions by the results then we can see where he might better have chosen a different path. It's easy in hindsight. If you put yourself in his shoes when he actually has to decide then it's more a guessing game. When you are given images about future events and don't like what you saw: what are you supposed to do? Let things unfold? Attempt to change them? In Merlin's case it probably is fate. We all know the legends and Arthur has to die by Mordred's hand.

It really wasn't anyone's fault. Merlin was suspicious of Mordred because of all he had seen, and all he had been told, he had made the mistake of trying to help Morgana in the past and it had backfired. What would you have done? What would you have done if everyone told you that the bane of everything you have built and love is a person who could well be close to you? Merlin was no older than 28, and yet he had the weight of knowledge on his shoulders, he knew, he knew everything and he was afraid of the future itself, and fear makes you do stupid things. The story of these two is tragic because of what could have been and wasn't, but it's not the fault of either of them.
Mordred growing up to be good and the one in the wrong was one of the best plot twists I had ever seen. Even I kinda fell for what the dragon wanted and how we should view Mordred in the beginning, all because he was a troubled child that showed signs of an unstable adulthood. But I should have known better. He was just a kid and he grew to be a good dude.
It's all about destiny.Like Gwen still become a queen no matter how hard morgana as high priesterest did to avoid from happening.Like Merlin refused magic in camelot n let mordred die but he still alive. Many times he save morgana n advice her still she become evil.Both Morgana n merlin can see the future but that doesn't mean they can change it.It just like 'Warn' for them. Mordred n merlin like day n night. Morgana n merlin like darkness n light.
*pupils dilate* i immediately added this to my playlist :') now im legit super into the concept of merlin and mordred, i might even be inspired to vid them. Well done!
He was not evil at all. He didn't intend to kill. But Arthur was really unfair to him and didn't think about his feelings. Mordred loved that woman.But nobodyis guilty here(All of them are tragic.
I love this video! Now, I'm wondering what would have happened if Merlin hadn't been so focused on the prophecy and had instead formed a good relationship with Mordred. Would Mordred still have ended up killing Arthur? If the prophecy is actually set in stone, would Arthur's death have rather been an accident? Like Mordred trying to save him and then hurting him in the process? Could it have turned out differently if Merlin had been able to see past the prophecy?
I've been wondering these questions too! The same thing can be applied to the relationship between Merlin and Morgana. Maybe the destiny was already written, I guess we'll never know..
I don't understand people blaming Merlin for what happened, saying that he should have helped Kara. Kara was not a good person. She killed many innocent men for no good reason and felt no remorse. When Arthur tried to help her she tried to kill him. When he wanted to pardon her she refused to repent. Even Mordred could see she was no longer the girl he used to know. I don't like what the writers/directors did there. It was obvious on numerous occasions that he realized what she did was wrong. I think they should have either made Kara a good innocent person or make it that Mordred was too blinded by love to see her faults. What they did didn't make much sense in my opinion.
Very good point, though I did perceive Mordred as a bit blinded by love and/or hoping to work a different solution with Kara, convince here, so maybe there's benefit of doubt for the writing. Also, Mordred may have been triggered by Merlin's adamant lack of trust, demonstrated so clearly by his interference. I imagine that may have pushed him more than Kara. Or maybe he was lost in all these conflicting demands placed on him, and hence this regretful expression and wording upon deathbed.
@@nomeayano7757 Kara and her death was Mordred's motive to turn against Arthur and therefore sealing his fate, thus ending the show. One should be excused for expecting her character to serve as convincing reason. The writers decided to make Arthur quite lenient and forgiving to her case while portraying her unrepentful, revengeful and simply unreasonable or even fanatical in still wanting to kill him. That makes Mordred's u-turn look almost petty and doesn't do justice to his character. He deserved better.
@@nomeayano7757 I do agree but I just imagined myself in a situation where I am in love with someone and they consciously do something really bad and I do realize it's bad, obviously my feelings don't go away and I still don't want them to die but I don't think I would go to these crazy lengths to help that person anymore and then be so angry about their death that I would do something as big as Mordred going to Morgana etc...Like I said if they only didn't give us the moments where it was obvious Mordred felt conflicted about Kara then I would mostly brush it off but alas...😁
some of the decisions merlin and arthur make are so dumb i swear. if he didn’t help mordred, and if he died, then none of this would have happened and arthur would live. or if merlin was nicer to mordred, maybe things would turn out okay. if arthur never killed the girl mordred loved, mordred wouldn’t have gone ballistic. this is just a huge bruh moment.
No body talk about the dragon. He manipulated Merlin, he wanted to be free, and in order to be free, he was supposed to introduce caos. And just maybe he was getting revenge for his own kin. I mean, that dragon was the last of kis kind. He did say arthur and merlin were the same coin, but merlin sin is to love this coin more than its purpose. That's why he chose to stay quiet, serving and making the worst decisions of the entire show. He set Merlin against those who would help. Also, when he fist ask about if there's any sure of that fate upon Mordred, the dragan said "I think it's up to you". Death is not the only way. Also, Mordred was always kind and wishing to help people, he was quickly to forgive. Merlin in the other hand changed completely and wasn't focused on the gold acceptance of magic. Merlin had turn his back on his own kin since he met Mordred and listened the dragon thread against rightful ways. He started to be bee too afraid, too selfish, too hesitant. merlin had lost his faith because of the hurt he caused for those around him. So fate can change, destiny is a journey. And there is always two fate: you can get want you want or fail, with free will or not. I think mordred didn't want to, but Merlin had turn his hope dawn. Merlin chose kill Kara. He killed his own kin.

@@nomeayano7757 I do agree but I just imagined myself in a situation where I am in love with someone and they consciously do something really bad and I do realize it's bad, obviously my feelings don't go away and I still don't want them to die but I don't think I would go to these crazy lengths to help that person anymore and then be so angry about their death that I would do something as big as Mordred going to Morgana etc...Like I said if they only didn't give us the moments where it was obvious Mordred felt conflicted about Kara then I would mostly brush it off but alas...😁
This was destiny nothing can change that
One word: chills
some of the decisions merlin and arthur make are so dumb i swear. if he didn’t help mordred, and if he died, then none of this would have happened and arthur would live. or if merlin was nicer to mordred, maybe things would turn out okay. if arthur never killed the girl mordred loved, mordred wouldn’t have gone ballistic. this is just a huge bruh moment.
No body talk about the dragon. He manipulated Merlin, he wanted to be free, and in order to be free, he was supposed to introduce caos. And just maybe he was getting revenge for his own kin. I mean, that dragon was the last of kis kind.
He did say arthur and merlin were the same coin, but merlin sin is to love this coin more than its purpose. That's why he chose to stay quiet, serving and making the worst decisions of the entire show. He set Merlin against those who would help.
Also, when he fist ask about if there's any sure of that fate upon Mordred, the dragan said "I think it's up to you". Death is not the only way. Also, Mordred was always kind and wishing to help people, he was quickly to forgive. Merlin in the other hand changed completely and wasn't focused on the gold acceptance of magic. Merlin had turn his back on his own kin since he met Mordred and listened the dragon thread against rightful ways. He started to be bee too afraid, too selfish, too hesitant. merlin had lost his faith because of the hurt he caused for those around him.
So fate can change, destiny is a journey. And there is always two fate: you can get want you want or fail, with free will or not. I think mordred didn't want to, but Merlin had turn his hope dawn. Merlin chose kill Kara. He killed his own kin.
Lo adoro!!!!

What sucks is because Merlin knew the future, he became the cause and Morgana & Mordred were the effect.
