kabal42: Arthur from "Merlin", looking very sad. Text: Hug me? (Merlin - Hug me? Arthur)
From: [personal profile] kabal42
Agreed. If Merlin had felt bad about it and it wasn't just used to make Arthur a laughing stock I'd have been more okay with it. As it were, I had a hard time watching parts of it.

The women got to rock, yeah :-) And somehow evil just always looks better… odd that.

I hear you on the misogyny. I mostly agree too. My only counter is that I see a lot of A/G-shipper hatred towards slashers *sigh* Which is just silly too. (And runs the risk of being homophobic in expression, just as the anti-A/G often ends up being terribly misogynist.) Live and let ships live! I WANT to like Gwen more than I do. I WANT to like her with Arthur as well! I'm a little sad they seem to have chucked Lancelot out so we'll be getting a total Disney marriage for A/G from now on. I always liked that tension going on that leads to the whole mess - it's something I enjoy in reading myth retellings, so I will miss it here. (Even if it sometimes gets too angsty for me.) Ack. I'm bad at expressing this. I read a good rant that expressed some of my frustrations - even if the poster went further with it than I completely agree with. I can try and find it again if you're interested?
