morgana about arthur

[panickedshrieking]

I am just screaming into the void tonight. My mouth is in pain because I am missing four teeth.

Let's talk about the side characters.

Pym in my personal opinion one of the best characters on that show. She's cute, funny, super friendly and just baby in general. Her scenes are funny and exactly what you would expect a TV-14 arthurian legend retelling to have. Sad scenes, funny scenes, stressful scenes. Just generally wholesome shit. Healing vikings the best that she can and flirting with Dof while also being such a dork is so cute.

Kaze is a fantastic mentor, there should have been more of Kaze teaching Nimue instead of Merlin. She's smart, strong, has a very pretty voice. She has that single rich aunt vibe to her. She's just such a strong character, she's got combat experience, is more trustworthy, has leadership skills as well. In general a great role model. Think uncle Iroh but with fangs and a sword

Morgana is a very interesting character, her tension with Arthur for being dropped into a convent. Her distaste for authority and general demeanor are fantastic. She is a great lancer for Nimue in the way that she pushes Nimue into the role she needs to take. Morgana really follows the speak softly and carry a big stick motto and I love her for that.

Cursed is really good!!

I have a few criticisms but like honestly solid show.

Its kinda like a rehashing king arthur and merlin and all that. But like in a real creative way. And honestly the way its described on netflix isn't very good.

MILD SPOILERS below. Mostly in the criticisms i have for the characters. So just like ignore that part it will be marked.

Meet our protagonist! Her name is Nimue! Shes a Fae, a decent fighter and has a spooky secret that alienates her from her clan.

Criticism:

Honestly as a character I have no real problem with Nimue, shes really cool, very stubborn and has a strong sense of identity, she makes her own choices but also relies on her two friends whom I will talk about later.

I suppose one thing to be said is... I think theres a lot of allusions to real life colonization that they couldve made the protagonist non-white "human-passing" woman. But thats just my opinion

Arthur! He's the deuteragonist of this lovely show. Honestly I love Arthur he starts out a bit of a coward, a mercenary living proverbial paycheck to paycheck paying off debt and a bit full of himself. And he grows into man confident in his own abilities and who protects those who share a similar cause. Hes just GOT A GOOD HEART AT HIS CORE AND HES GONE THROUGH A LOT AND HE DESERVES BETTER OKAY!!

Criticism:

I like the path Arthur went on this season. This is a role a black man normally wouldnt get a chance to play. At least i believe that to be true. So I'm really glad he is black!! No real criticism excwpt he starts out a little insufferable but he truly grows on you!

Oh sweetie im so sorry tumblr did you so dirty. THREE GIFS OF MY GIRL!!? pretty white boy villain has a bajillion and its like the same five scenes. Ahem. Anyway. This is Morgana, Arthur's sister. She was shipped away to be a nun due to unforeseen circumstances. She's strong, clever and a lesbian!

Criticism: BIG SPOILER WARNING

None of morgana really. Just the show does have a bury your gays trope. And her girlfriend dies. I'm hoping morgana ends up happier in the next season.

A Bitch. The weeping monk. Uh. Daddy issues. Guy i was talking about earlier

Criticism :

Oof nope not touching thos one someone else can have it. Just like. Uh. Weird. Like a very complex character totally brainwashed by a system (like republican administration and christianity!). (okay i toucjed it a little)

Okay i know this one may look bad but i promise this criticism will be spoiler free so you can read it and see why the criticism is so long here. I love Kaze a lot and I hope they do more growing her character in the next season.

Criticism

Very dissapointed yet again, this is the only picture of her. Kaze is a secondary character and i have a lot to say about her. Shes kinda like the black best friend without the friend part and sorting through all of nimues emotional baggage about the choices she must make.

Kaze is one of the few dark skinnned characters to get lines at all. She believes in Nimues abilities and advises her to step up which she does. Then kaze kinda fades to the background doing cool fight moves and killing bad guys for a few shots. Dont get me wrong these scenes are important for her character. But they also seem a little hollow. I do have hope for the next season.

Oh Merlin.... I like him a lot! Hes not really a good guy. Hes lived many lives, worn many hats. Seen loved ones die, hes killed, hes lied, and hes stolen. Hes a nasty self serving chaotic man. But damn does he try. Arthyr is still my favourite character though.

Criticism

Typical cis white man character, will be the favourite of those with daddy issues or who just like bald morally grey men.

Lets dismantle Christianity with swords...! Together! Please watch cursed AND MAKE MORE gif SETS OF MY FAVOURITE WOMEN.

I correct every theory of mine about who's taking Isolde's place: it's Morgana, isn't it?

Good guess! You’ll find out soonish who the Isolde stand in is. I’m so excited for all the romances I have to remind myself not to rush any development.
