YES, this! It always bugged me about Morgana just suddenly hating Arthur and Gwen. Like, I guess I understand with Merlin because he poisoned her and Morgause probably twisted that to make her hate him, but legit, Arthur was clearly different from his father as he knighted peasants and married Gwen and then in Herald of a New Age he forgave Druids and later knighted Mordred (although he didn’t know about his magic). Honestly, the only reason Arthur was refusing to accept magic was BECAUSE of Morgana, because she used magic to ensure Uther’s death. Does she not realize that if she let magic heal Uther then Arthur would owe magic? If she had been honest, she could have convinced Arthur that magic isn’t evil and could have helped him change the law and I just…. get angry whenever I think about it.
