  • ha, haa, haaa, perfect work :D

  • I choked at that moment -

    Uther: You have to learn - there's a right and a wrong way of doing things.

    and then SlashDragon's giggle.

    Omg, so accurate!

  • Now this is what should happen in season 4.... Nicely done with the:

    Arthur:Were in love...

    Uther:Really? Then arrest him!

    Such a great line...where did u get the scenes and the voices for that?

  • des is aba echt net schlecht ^^

  • you should send it to the producers as a hint to what WE want to happen in season 4!

  • hahaha brilll :p

  • Ahh that awkward moment when the two top comments are the same.

  • If I were Merlin i'd fall for Arthur too.

  • ahh i just fangirled over the keyboard..

  • love your work !

    happily ever after

    ><

  • The way every single part of this video is related to the others and finally with the purpose , is just.....unbelievable.Thank you a lot for posting.Are you using Windows Movie Maker?I'm facing problems with mine...You see , every time I try to transform a Video into a Movie File , half of the screen gets ...Green!Have you got an idea why is this happening?Have you faced anything similar in the past?Thank you a lot for your time. =)

  • so uhhh, yeah. Hey, writers? I think you might wanna take a look at this. because YOU wrote it. we're just pointing out the fact that it's there. and don't go hiding behind the walls of the bbc. WE SEE YOU. WRITING IT.

  • Aww, the lemons practically write themselves <3

  • I am not a Merthur fan, but damn the writers (and the actors) for giving vid makers so much material to work with. On a side note, WELL DONE.

  • This is so wonderful!! You are an incredible editor :)

  • Brokeback Merthur <3 amazing

  • OMG I love this!!

  • " There is no right or wrong , there is only what is and what isn't " : how deeply true this is indeed : there should not exist any homophobia , because homosexuality simply IS , exists in Nature .

  • A delicate and highly noble way of evoking gay love in a difficult context , where homosexuality is all but given for granted ...

    Courageous indeed on the author' s part .

  • Comment removed

  • THIS IS AMAZING<3

  • You, my dear Sir/Madam, are the god of edit.

    True fact.

  • Just genius :D I love this insanely.

  • soo gay...

  • Aaaaaaaaawwww! They make such a cute couple! Seriously ADORABLE! And anyone whom disagrees should be ashamed of themselves!

  • typical uther being a dick. :)

  • -there is a right and a wrong way of doing things-

    -there is no right and wrong...--

    LOL

  • Haha, LOL!!

    I love this. Great job!!

  • This would be such a great commercial! All we need to do is show it to the writers so that they can FINALLY see what they're "kinda hinting at, but not really making it", and then they'll write Merthur into the scripts and all the fangirls will cheer! :D Yay!

    Great vid!

  • I love you forever! This video made my day.

  • 3 people disliked this because it's not canon ¬_¬

  • @ThePrettyLittlePixie Oh, it reeeeally should be, though.

  • this is brilliant, loved it.

  • oh...my...goood! this is amazingly mindblowing! you are just one amazing editor... and dare i say it, person for making this! <3

  • So, I'm a little late to say the least in commenting on this but...

    Well, I love it. Lol. And somehow you've made it work :) Nicely done.

  • ...Omahgawd. Well, your video is amazing, but the connotations between the two quotes from Uther and the Great Dragon about right and wrong... I never realized that, and it adds so much not only to your video, but to the entire show as well.

  • Haha this is hilarious, and adorable at the same time... AND SO TRUE.

  • i love how the slashdragon contradicts what uther says just before XD

  • I think it's so well done! Adorable!

  • I must say I love this :D x so well edited :D x

  • very nice choosen soundbits to the images, very clever.

    loved the one at 1:26

    "We are in Love"

    "Really, then arrest him"

  • amazing

  • Witch epeiode is 0.24 -2.05? Please

  • that was very well done

  • LOVE IT! This is really awesome!

  • ocemo jos

  • "We´re in love"

    "Really? Then arrest him" Haha

  • Oh, this was great.

    especially Uther's Part "Really?...then arrest him"

    I laughed so hard xD

    Sweet vid :D

  • loved it! lol both finding out merlin's secret and a bit of merthur! 'what a lovely combination, eh?' rofl

  • "I was born this way!"

    "That's impossible!"

    rofl!

  • Legends weren't uniform stories but tended to vary.

    'Merlin' innovated it - not the first time this happened to a popular story. Legends survived because they spoke to each new generation and absorbed new elements over time.

    As for homosexuality - which times do not stand for it? The Camelot in the series is a fictive place. I see persecution of magic as a generic representation of all kind of prejudices, so I see magic and homosexuality as closely related. To each his own, though.

  • Why take a series of characters, fictional even, and change their roles, actions and characteristics so completely rather than just creating a series of your own? Why is it that this series has so little to do with the legends of Arthur from men like Geoffrey of Monmouth, Sir Thomas Malory and T.H. White? Sure, not all of them had versions that agreed with each other in certain spots, but they didn't very well go about rewriting centuries of folklore to "mix things up".

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    I can see your point in part. Remakes seem popular lately - they probably attract more viewers. If 'Merlin' were presented as a completely original work, many would accuse it of ripping off legends without giving proper credit.

    Supposedly, Geoffrey picked up and transformed older stories. The role of Merlin, Morgana & sisters, Mordred, and the famous Guinevere/Lancelot love arc are elements that changed or were added trough centuries. 'Original' is a vague term here.

  • @Solanyxe Things were added throughout time, and slight alterations were made involving smaller story roles, but no one ever went so far as to rewrite Arthur's origins. Changing a major and significant part at the very beginning of story completely rewrites the history that is to follow. Arthur can't discover his role as King of Britain by pulling to Sword from the Stone because his father is alive, and that changes how he'll eventually get Excalibur. It changes far too much.

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone don't even have to be the same sword. But depending on the version you pick, Arthur can receive his sword from the Lady of the Lake, which is the route the series seems to prefer (1X09, 2X09). (Also an already existing variation, blame Sir Thomas Malory and others.)

    Merlin is the prequel to the more famous legends, and as you've probably noticed, it tries to lead to the same future/famous plot twists yet keeps the narrative liberty now.

  • @Solanyxe The Sword in the Stone and Excalibur aren't the same word, as I said. The first, being the one Arthur pulls from the stone, is Caliborn. Arthur carries this sword with him until it breaks in battle, and then he goes to the Lady of the Lake who gives unto him Excalibur to replace Caliborn.

    And this isn't a prequel series because Arthur meets Merlin at a much younger age, let alone the fact that the Merlin he meets isn't that of Arthurian legend, but a drastically different version.

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    It can also be the same sword, according to some - the name may have the same origin (be the same name) as Excalibur. My point was that there are different variations of the legends.

    The show is intended as a prequel. It tells stories before Arthur becomes king, marries Guinevere, before Merlin is his royal adviser, or Morgana and Mordred plot against Arthur, yet it hints at all those developments. As the series leads roughly toward the same legends, I don't mind its freedom.

  • Witch episode is 0.24-2.06?

  • @englishjojo The bit where Merlin and Gaius are talking about where is magic came from? It's from the very first episode right after Merlin saved him from falling on the ground.

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    depends a bit on the version of the myth, but mosttime they are different swords,

    btw the other or older names for Exclibur are

    Caladbolg, Caledfwlch, Caliburnus, Escalibor, Calesvol

    and Clarent

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    OK, this is just a TV series, and the BBC kinda has the rights to do so, AND, the story of Merlin the Magician, King Arthur, the Witch Morgana, etc, etc...

    AREN'T REAL!!!

    Geez. It's ENTERTAINMENT!

  • @RealBronzeClaws Entertainment for you, perhaps. I am only disappointed and disgusted they'd go so far as to desecrate the legend of King Arthur by making this farce of a show. This doesn't remind me of King Arthur and Merlin. You know what it does remind me of? Harry Potter. Think about it: Merlin is now a shy yet heroic young man that fights evil and the like with his posse of young pals. This IS Harry Potter. This show has taken great liberties with the mythos. Smallville all over again.

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    (rolling of the eyes) Yeah, they actually said that;s what they were going for. Seriously.

    So what if it feels like HP or Smallville? Nowadays there's almost NO SUCH THING as an original story!

    It's for FUN. And although the Arthurian legends seem like they're a part of actual history, they're NOT.

    So stop being a stinker and a troll.

  • @RealBronzeClaws (picking the of nose) I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to make a cheap, two-bit interpretation of Smallville. Fact of the matter is that Smallville started off, in my opinion, as a great show. I mean it was the origins of Superman; what wasn't to like. However, much like Harry Potter, as the series went on, the plot and story development and the action was all replaced by convoluted storylines and excessive character relationship drama. In short, it all sucks now.

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    Like I said, the makers of the show said they were going for an Arthurian version of Smallville.

  • @TheOmegaParadigm

    Also, the Merlin's 'backward aging' that you mentioned is, from what I know, a rather new retelling of the story; T.H.White's book series from the first half of the 20th century.

  • SQUEEEEEEEE! You just made my night!

  • 0:26 that's impossible ahahahahahah

  • Hi! I saw the video and i love it! very much! but i have a question: at 1:00, there is a conversation between Arthur and Merlin... What do they say??

  • "I want you to swear to me what you tell is true" and "I swear it's true." Or something like that.

  • Thank you very much!! ^^

    WIll you write a story about this video? can I read it? ^^

  • @danjugi4ever

    "I want you to swear to me that what you say is true"

    "It is"

  • I wonder if Colin and Bradley are lurking on YouTube and has actually seen this...I wish they make a comment, want to know what they think!!! LOL!!!

  • I bet they think about this kind of videos while they're filming, wondering what people could do with their lines :D

  • @aldwint hehe,

  • arthur is SOOOO hoot:D

  • "We´re in love." "Really? Then arrest him!" haha that was brilliant! :P great job on this one!!

  • Funny thing is if Merlin and Arthur confessed their love for each other to Uther thats exactly what he would do XD He'd say Merlin is a sorcerer who bewitched his son and burn him at the stake...Ah Uther...When will you see the truth? Merlin and Arthur are just meant to be together ^__^

  • haha yeah I can so see that! :P they all just need to accept the truth! ;D

  • AMAZING. LOVE IT! :D

  • I liked the lines: "You shoud not get involved!" and "Why not?" Yeah, why not?!!

  • Да ладно вам, ребята, i mean Arthur and Merlin, подумаешь, один раз не пидераст!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MORE!!!! WE WANT MORE!!

  • omg tht is rele rele good :DDD

    <3 Arthur and Merlin :DDD ahhhhhh

  • I love it!

  • Why is it so short?! Its amazing!

  • I think more than their paths should lie together, amIright?!

    I wish this was an episode! I laughed out loud when Uther just says 'Then arrest him.' Hahahah

  • I can only repeat that it's simply BRILLIANT :D

    - such a shame you didn't make the whole "should have been" episode (or did you?! *hopes*) - with your quality videos more and longer can only be better!! :) (the only flaw of this video is its shortness!)

    I love how you put video and words together!! :)))

  • The name of the actor is Bradley James, if that's what you were asking. :)

    (The character is Arthur Pendragon...)

  • Splendid.

  • Oh god I love this so much! Really well thought out. Please do a sequal!

    Jemz x

  • Thank you! I can't promise anything, but I do feel tempted to make the full version as well.

    I have selected the clips (~15 min in total) and put them in 'the 'right' order, but the more I watch them the more I think they're in need of overhauling. (I haven't even started with the serious editing yet.) So I still have to see what I'll do...

  • Well at least that's a start :) If you need any help with any of it I'm sure I can be of some use XD

    Jemz x

  • plzzz plzzz plzzz make the full video plzzzzzzzzzzz that was just so sweet

  • *wibbles* Amazing <3

  • :D Adorable. I'm must going to pretend this happens... :3

  • This just so believable. I loved it and reckon you should actually do a full video for it. If, as you say, you "get into such a crazy mood to try."

  • Thanks! ^.^ I'm still thinking about it. I suspect the whole video length might kill me, but I'm still considering it.

  • so elegantly crafted. totally believable! :)

  • wow nice editing.

    love it. a sure favorite.

  • I love the fact that Morgana's a secret fangirl! After that night in Ealdor, when she and Gwen were talking about how much Arthur cares about Merlin, that's exactly what I thought! (And of course, in MY head, Gwen and Morgana are together, too...)

    Would totally love to see this episode if BBC ever does us the favor of making it. :D

  • I love this! Soooo well made!

  • That was sooooooo believable!!!! :D Lmfao :P I was like watching the whole thing with an '=O' expression lmao.

    Gosh, you are totally giving BBC a run for their money, that was frickin fantastic!! I absolutely loved it!! =D

    I totally subscribed! :D hehe :)

    5*'s and favourited!

    xoxox

    Maddie.

  • Great work! :)))

  • Wow, you're brilliant at editing! This actually looked completely real.

  • This was AMAZING. Your editing skills are fantastic. I'm going to pretend this ep really happens now. ;)

  • ha :)

    enjoyed it.

    thanks.

  • aww thatwas soooo gd! and they are so in love... can't wait for seies two!

  • i reaaaaaaaaly like this made me larf and want to hug them both more than usual

  • lol great editing! how long did this take you and what program did u use? amazing!

    5*s and fv'd!

    BBC should commission another series of Merlin - its sick lol. merry xmas, evry1!

  • great editing! i love the slash dragon. rofl <3

  • WOW, amazing. How did you do the words with differen clips?

    WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW and WOW!!

  • Thank you! :D

    It really depends on what programs you're using. How? In my case it involved groans, pain, and curses, since I don't have enough patience. ;)

  • damn, you are good! :D

  • Ah freaking mazing!

    Great editing!

    I still can't get over how brilliantly done this video was!

    5 stars and fav'd ^^

  • Thank you! I'm really happy you think it's good. :)

  • Arg! People kept interrupting and I couldn't hear and had to rewind like five times! But it was so good it didn't matter ^^. The fabbyness! And Uther! XD! And the dragon! I completely collapsed when he just randomly chuckled. Love it.

  • Glad you didn't give up after 5 times!

    I think the dragon might be chuckling at Uther and his words. (At least that's what I would do if I were a mighty dragon chained in a cave, and I still knew what happened outside and what's about to happen in future.) ;)
