Merlin on BBC Question

I need your opinions.

Well, to be honest, as Gwen and Arthur got closer, I became less fan of them. I dont know why but I started to dislike their relationship.

I hate Guinevere character in the legend anyway and I dunno how producers gonna make it in the show but, I really do not like Gwen so much. I started to think that she's annoying. Her flirty behaviour, her being dignified, and Arthur chasing her all the time makes me sick.

I did not feel this way before and I dunno what's gotten into me. I just, I dont like them anymore. Well of course I know both Gwen and Arthur care about each other, luv each other but I think it is overrated. Seriously, I feel like I'm the only one who thinks like that. Please dont be a bitchy Arwen fan and gimme your opinions as a good friend. (:

Merlin on BBC Answers

OMG! How can you think that?! Nah, joking. ;D

I'm a very passionate ArWen shipper but I can totally see where you're coming from and why you find her/them so annoying.

Can I ask; how much do you love Arthur/Bradley? As (even if u haven't identified it), you may actually be a lil jealous of Gwen/Angel. As a result of that, the more 'love' scenes the more you hate them. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad thing at all! After all I can't really talk as I was/am I like that with Merlin/Freya. At first I though 'OMG she is so... annoying! I hate her'. But now I realize how jealous I am when they're together!

Anyway, that's just one possibility. Anywayz it doesn't matter. I like people who have totally different opinions/view, and if gwen(/ArWen) arn't ur 'cup of tea' then that's great!

Btw, (if at all), who do you ship? .x

thanks for your answer darling! =) well... yeah okay, i admit it, i may be a little jealous. and i never noticed that till u said it. damn:D i hate Freya and Merlin too! :D u totally have a point. maybe when they got close, i was like... i dunno. but i think she just doesnt fit him... and who i ship? Mergana (a very little of Nimueh/merlin) and Arwen (got bored of them as i wrote:D)...

I'm not a fan of Arwen ether and never have been. Because of this I've had to explain my opinion many times. These are some of the reasons I've come up with:

1. I wanted Gwen to be with Merlin. They where so cute in season one.

2. I don't like Gwen. Her character isn't very well developed. It's almost as if her only purpose is love interest.

3. I don't like Arthur. *shields myself from rotten vegetables* Although his character is well developed, his character development is non-exsistant. The biggest change his character has gone through to date is when he decided he was in love with Gwen. Which brings us to...

4. Where the heck did this come from!? Suddenly Arthur's in love with Gwen? An episode ago you didn't even know she existed!

5. Bradley and Angel have no chemistry. *Ducks more vegetables* This is my opinion but I just don't see it. Their flirting is so awkward. And not cute awkward like Merwen but "I don't know what to do because I really just like you as a friend and our characters aren't developed enough to covey emotion through" awkward. I've never seen anything in Arthur or Gwen's eyes or change in their behavior when they are in the same room and Arthur will go episodes without even mentioning Gwen. That just doesn't feel like love to me.

6. Last and most importantly... I want more Merthur!! The reason I love this show is because of merlin and Arthurs relationship, not it a slash way - although thats fun too - but as friends. As Arthur becomes more involved with Gwen he become more of a git to Merlin. For me every Arwen scene is a wasted opertunity for a Methur scene and that pisses me off.

That's my opinion. Feel free to throw rotten vegetables if you must.

I will not throw vegetables at you. Even if it seems like fun on Merlin:D But I respectfully disagree with most of what you wrote. Especially about Arthur. I think he is the most developed character. He goes from this total prat and then he becomes more like the king he was supposed to be. We get to see him take on a lot of responsibility. He is this though guy outside. But when he is being serious we see more of the softer side. I think both Merlin and Gwen brings that out in him. I also think it is very possible for someone to get a crush when they live three days with someone. Like Arthur did with Gwen. At that time she only seemed smitten with him. He was the one who fell quickly for her. He did notice her in episode 1x10. And after that they made small hints. But I do think they could have made more hints. Arthur is probably the kind of guy who falls fast and hard. Besides time passes quicly in Camelot. After they started falling for eachother the development has gone a little to slow in my opinion. I think they have tons of chemistry. But that is in the eye of the beholder. I like that they made them akward around eachother. That seems more natural. They are two young people from different standing and they are in love. They have not had the chance to get comfortable around eachother. Hopefully that will change now. Because they need to move forward. The journey to become an official couple has been long. As for Merlin and Arthur. They do have the best relationship. Nothing could ever ruin that.

@juniper , when i read ur comment i was waiting for the "merthur" argument LOL and yeah i think that the "rused stuff" is just an excuse for the arwen haters , cause he noticed gwen in 1x10 and then after that they shared more scenes , so if u dont see the chemistry its cool for u cause chemistry is subjective but the "rushed" excuse is no longer available , and yes the show is called merlin and yes gwen is the future queen so saying that u dont want to see arwen doesnt fit with what u said about the rushed stuff

thanks for the answer, first of all. :) well, i only agree with one thing u wrote and that is "4. Where the heck did this come from!? Suddenly Arthur's in love with Gwen? An episode ago you didn't even know she existed!" You're right about it. If I didnt know the legend, I would think that way too. I mean, their luv interest grew so suddenly and i cant see the chemistry in their eyes sometimes too. Im not gonna throw you anything either, because I totally respect your opinions:) But about Arthur, I respectfully disagree. He developed sooo much just like the other characters. He developed even more than them. Well of course everyone has their opinions and as i said, i respect yours obviously:)

Haha "ducks rotten vegtables" - that made me laugh!!! XD Seriously, that has made my day! Thank you! :P And I totally agree with no. 5!!! Yes they still have their amazing moments, but we don't see them getting that much closer anymore. :/ Like I've said for ages, I want another ep like The Poisened Chalace' where ARTHUR has to do something for MERLIN. It's so one way still, dispite the many years they have been supposedly 'together'.

I don't know if you maybe feel like this (because honestly it's late and i'm just too lazy to read all the other responses) but I've been feeling (increasingly) the same. Everyone knows that Guinevere and Arthur are the primary "supposed to be together" kind of couple (at least as the legend goes, forget the love triangle and all that) and so now, when they're being all awkward around eachother, it's becoming really endless. It's like, I'm tired of him chasing her but not being able to man up and complete a full sentence in front of her, yet there's always the hints of how they will unite the kingdom and stuff. Granted, the season is only partway through in the US but still, these are just the things I've noticed. But I'm not too upset, I just keep holding out hope for Merlin and Morgana. ;) But I definitely hear what you're saying there, and I'll see the vibe I get from the rest of the season. I think it's getting to be overrated, something I really wish it wouldn't! That's why it also bothers me when people say M&M are overrated BUT they say Arwen is not. So there's my opinion... :)

well the armors fans and the gwen haters will comfort u...
as an arwen fan myself i think its just because the show is over...the spark is over and u just dont care anymore thats normal...
but the the season 4 will be amazing , the writors said that gwen will have more queen material ( so thats mean no more servant boring stuff) , its seems that she will become a lady too so she will have to face the uther and the other noble hatred and there is also lancelot who will cause some trouble
so yeah sometimes gwen can be annoying but arthur can be an annoying prat too , morgana and her smirks drove people crazy and merlin isnt perfect too
so the gwen haters will have fun commenting but
just watch some arwen fanvids and ull see that u cannot dislike them
peace sweetie <3333333333

thanks for your sweet answer dear =)) well, u might have a point. maybe its because i lost interest in them cuz the show is over for now. but i dunno, i just dont like Gwen as a queen. I think I got used to Morgana as a queen :D damn :D im starting to become evil too? Gosh :D and of course not everyone is perfect. i may start liking them again if I watch some videos or the coming season=) im excited about it though. =)

from what ive heard , its actually the contrary most people who hated arwen in season 2 started to like them because of season 3
but sweetie i think its just because the show is over , as nsk said the spark is over...
i wasnt a fan of gwen in season 1 ( and sometimes in season 2) IMO but this season she is so much better! she stood up to uther , found out morgana's secret , helped leon to escape and she wasnt the dimsel in distress , she was there for merlin when he was in trouble , she wasnt confused or flirty with lancelot , we started to knew more about her family , she can take care of herself and she is sweet but also hurted
u cant think that its THAT gwen who will become queen , no there is a lot of development ahead and really no offense hunnie but morgana is a tyran she killed innocents people with no reason ( and usually bad great villian always have a tortured side)
i dont know why some people are harsh with gwen ,her character has just started to be devlopped! ( while morgana's character is devloped over 2 seasons considereing that season 3 is HER season and not really merlin's )

well dear, thanks for your answer=) yeah, the spark is over. maybe, as u all said, i got bored cuz the spark is over because the show is over. well i never said that she was flirty with lancelot, i said, she has flirty moves. i always luved morgana and i will keep luving her too, but i sometimes call a bitch too :D and im totally aware of Arwen relationship and Gwen, but, i dunno... i think i need to watch some videos to get more interested in Arwen again:D

I am a little different. I am finding myself liking them more and more. I was on the fence at first. But Gwen is showing more of herself. At first I thought their love was a little one sided. Gwen was not totally over Lancelot. Now they both have tried to hide their feelings. They had all this longing looks and gave the feeling of star crossed lovers. Gwen seemed to have accepted that they could not be. But after Queen of hearts. That has changed. They then made the promise to wait for each other. Now they need more screen time. Their relationship needs to go forward. It has gone really slow the last two seasons. So I am really looking forward to season 4. I really hope and I am starting to believe, that they will not make Gwen break his heart.

Thanks for your answer dear :) well, u have a point. their relationship made a great deal of progress just in one season and they really started to be liked much more by people. i think im the only one who is in this condition:D well, as everybody said, maybe its because the show ended and the spark is gone... i'll understand it when the new season starts:)

I get where your coming from, i am a arwen shipper but they get on my nerves sometimes but i want to see them more too to see if she betrays him for Lancelot like in one of the versions of the legend *sorry for those who didn't want to here it* i wud much rather she was with arthur than lancelot even if he loved her first !

Thanks for your answer :)) And, I really wonder if she's gonna betray Arthur. I hope she wont. I hope writers will change that fact as they changed the real lady of the lake Nimueh as Freya, as they changed Merlin into a young warlock and as they changed lots of other things...
