Gay wizard: the remix
So I caved. I watched all ten episodes of Merlin, and I adore it in a very cheesy and non-mythologically-accurate way.
It's not really my fault, you see, it's just that Merlin is a dorky smartass who uses magic and Arthur is an arrogant sweetie who swordfights and together they bicker and flirt and get into all sorts of mischief which usually involves them touching and/or risking their lives for each other and I CAN'T FIGHT THE GAY, OKAY.
So, here is a more thorough description of the show:
Merlin in under 200 words (GENERAL SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW SO FAR)
King Uther: Grr, magic is bad! Kill, kill, kill. I am generally nasty and misguided.
Magical nemesis of the week: STFU, I'll screw up Camelot hardcore.
Prince Arthur: Daddy be kind! Also I'm blond and badass.
Merlin (Arthur’s manservant): I'm magic and I’ve got to keep it secret or I’ll be beheaded, but I’ll help! I look like a younger version of James Marsden but with bigger ears. I am cheeky and endearing.
Gaius (Merlin’s substitute mommy): You are charming, but shut up about the magic. Go run an errand. Also, DESTINY!
Morgana (Uther’s ward, ttly not related to Arthur): I am spunky and look like Keira Knightley.
Gwen (aka Gwenevere; Morgana’s maidservant): I am sweet and babble in an awkwardly adorable fashion.
Random people: I am dead.
Dragon (Merlin’s CGI mentor): I am cryptic and I fly. Also, DESTINY!
Merlin does magic
Arthur battles
Arthur and Merlin flirt outrageously and dramatically save each other's lives
Major characters are in peril but miraculously survive
Everyone: Arthur and Merlin are in LUUUURVE!
Arthur: Wow, how lucky that a completely random and non-magical happenstance has saved the day again! Let’s go be homoerotic together, Merlin.
In conclusion: you should totally give it a try! You can watch it here or here. <333
