Merlin (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Grunhilda, to Gaius. Vivian, to Arthur (by the end of the episode at least).

* [[Aborted Declaration of Love]]: Arthur seems to be on the verge of telling Guinevere that he loves her in the series three finale. However, she interrupts him after he makes the mistake of saying "if I never see you again..." which only compels her to insist that they ''will'' meet again.

* [[Action Girl]]: Morgana and Morgause, who are later [[Dark Action Girl|Dark Action Girls]]. Gwen to a lesser extent. Also Enmyria, the bandit girl in ''[[Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S02/E11 The Witch's Quickening|The Witch’s Quickening]]'', and [[Tristan and Iseult|Isolde]] in ''[[Merlin (TV series)/Recap/S04/E13 The Sword in the Stone Part II|The Sword in the Stone Part II]]''.

* [[Adaptational Angst Upgrade]]: Perhaps not so much an "upgrade" as a "shift" in what the main characters angst about. Arthur has [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Daddy Issues]], Morgana grapples with fear of her growing magical powers, Guinevere is given a [[Rags to Riches]] story, and Merlin has to hide his true identity while making [[Sadistic Choice]] after [[Sadistic Choice]]. Their legendary counterparts had [[Because Destiny Says So|Depressing Destinies]], [[Brother-Sister Incest]] and [[Love Triangle|Love Triangles]] to contend with.
