Bad decision each Merlin character made (for me)
Where do I even began lol. Merlin is the pioneer of bad decisions. Poisoning Morgana, letting his paranoia engulf him hence making enemy of Mordred, choosing Arthur over magic, etc. SO MANY. Sometimes Merlin is so indecisive especially about things involving Morgana and magic that it led to a mess of decisions. Do I blame him? Lowkey but I also understand the struggle he's going through. I mean boy literally have weight of a kingdom on his shoulder with zero emotional support, 1 manipulative dragon and 1 cowardly old man. I'm sorry Gaius but it's true.
Since I already mention it lol. If he wasn't so against it, Merlin would've told Morgana about his magic the first chance he got. Gaius is so haunted by his own fear sometimes and I truly don't get how he think leaving her in the shadow is better than letting Merlin help her. Also, sometimes the thing about Gaius is that he's so protective of Merlin that he kinda harm others to protect him. Like with Finna. Also Morgana in a way.
Asking Lancelot to protect Arthur. Gwen is a great character and it's hard to find things she did wrong. I'm not gonna count the time she was enchanted but man, you could've asked literally any other knight. Thinking that Lancelot die because of her vow. I know she didn't know the real reason, how could she? But still wish she looked at bigger picture that's a knight of Camelot I'm sure he have reasons beyond that.
I think its his blind confidence on his family member. Him not believing Gaius or Merlin during that one episode where Gaius dissapeared β like are you fucking kidding me Arthur? Are you blind? That whole episode made me want to grind him to dust. Also, most time in season 4 when he was manipulated by Aggravaine get my blood pressure rising. Yeah he was manipulated but still, God just listen to your friends you clotpole.
Just β the whole season 4 and 5. Why are you so relentlessly hating it got tiring at one point. I understand why she become evil but why on earth would you hate Arthur and Gwen so much? The way she switched on them 360 is insane. That damn smirk every episode is also annoying, we get it you're evil and look hot doing it. Stop smirking. I think its a Pendragon thing where they got manipulated so easily.
Mr. Oh so noble have insecurity issues and abandonment issues but on reverse where he's the one constantly leaving because he was afraid of being left or rejected. I will die on this hill. Leaving Gwen thereby making decision for her without even asking her what she truly want, going into that veil.... I think ironically Lancelot is secretly selfish. He do selfless thing to feel better for himself.
SEARCHING FOR MORGANA LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT. GWAINE YOU COULD'VE SURVIVED. This is hand down the thing I'm most annoyed with about Gwaine. His stupidity in this moment is beyond word. He let Morgana knew where Arthur was and get hinself killed. I love you Gwaine but holy shit JUST STAY HOME. QUARANTINE YOURSELF.
