As if Tony hasn't canonically been homeless and almost died because of it

As if there weren't lots (and I mean LOTS) of Iron Man comics that are a direct critique of capitalism because no matter how intelligent and talented Tony is, he loses a lot of money because he focuses on doing the right thing and not on making the line go up

As if Iron Man didn't have lots and lots of old comics warning about climate change and global warming

Many people on the famdom think, that had Merlin told Morgana about his nagic when she confessed to hin about thinking that the fire that was in her room was caused by her doing magic, than it would've caused Morgana to stay good, and that Merlin owed it to her, to tell her about him having magic since birth.

Two things that I find wrong here: 1. I don't think that Merlin owed Morgana anything, especially telling her his most kept secret, one that could've ended up with him sentenced to death by the pyre. Merlin might've considered telling her, and yes, he was stopped by Gaius, but, still, Merlin was taught all his life that his magic should stay concealed, should not be revealed to anyone. Beacause if the wrong person found out, it could end in his death. That is a fear that could not go away fron a person. And yes, she might've been his friend at this point, but Merlin didn't want to tell anyone about his magic, beacause of fear for his life. And you can't blame him for not telling her about his magic. Heck, Merlin only told Arthur, his soulmate, at the end of the bloody series, and he cares more about Arthur's opinions on him, and hated lying to him more than lying to Morgana.

2. Remember the fact that Morgana almost killed Uther in season 1? She was starting to be less good at this point of the series, until she became the villan that we all know. What if Merlin would've told her, and then she could've decided to betray him when it fit her? If Morgana had this knowledge on season 3, even after the end of season 2, she would've made sure that Merlin woul've been sentenced to death by Uther. And I'n sorry, but I don't think that her knowing about his naguc, would've stopped her fron turning evil.

I think Merlin is a good person. I think he is misguided. I think he makes horrible mistakes.

But Merlin is a person who at his core is good and loving and kind.

Merlin is a person who had the weight of destesy (that no human should have to carry alone) put on his shouldiors by his two guardians (Gaius and Killy) And who listened to these two guardians to the detriment of himself and others.

But Merlin has untold power and doesnt use it for his own gain and to hurt people. He doesnt even truly lash out at people.

He could have done a lot more for the good of people like himself if he had not listened to his guardians, Yes. He does pretty much loose himself and do some questional shit yes.

But he is basically a good person! And I think that is super important to agknowlage because it shows us somthing we almost never see in fiction:

Good people can make wrong chocies that hurt others (Especially when put under presure and forced to make decisions with no outright good choice they can see, while given bad guidance)
