Oh, Uther and magic, yes. I loved the theme here and your clip and music choices as well. Nicely done!

I was surprised by the amount of people he's killed/arrested/etc "on the background".

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for your comment :)

Wow, that's confronting... Love the choice in music which gives it an edgy, nervous feeling. It's quite unnerving seeing all those who suffer, all that fear especially in contrast to how pleased Uther looks with himself, so sure of his cause.

And that last scene makes it all the more personal; these are real people suffering, someone's son or any other relative and/or loved one. It also struck me how indifferent Arthur looks in this, just following his father's orders. It kind of gives the title a double meaning, although I'm not sure if you meant it that way?

This vid really works well in showing the darker side of the series.

I'm glad you liked the music, I chose it for that reason, because even though it looks cheerful it has a fast pace that can make the viewer nervous. Also, the slow moments fit very well with what I wanted to do here. Yes, Uther looks very pleased which makes him more creepy ( ... )
