Deleted Merthur Scenes 

No cause even Agravaine’s reaction hadhhh 👁👄👁

I mean he probably didn't notice but like dude

Castellano

which episode was this delted from?

@@amaniahmed 4th Season, 7th episode.

The way my brain interpreted that was that they snuggle like that often enough on quests that they have official sides 😆

there is one scene (not deleted but officially aired) where Merlin is doing chores in Arthur's chambers tightening bedsheets and Arthur is dressing himself with some informal hooded cloak to go out incognito and Merlin thinks aloud about, and I paraphrase from memory as I can't remember the ep right now: Merlin: 'this will be the last time any of us sleeps in a proper bed.' and Arthur makes an annoyed face responding with a very weird line for a BBC family show concerned about sending out mixed messages, Arthur: 'Merlin, I am used to face all kinds of horrors in this world but if you think for a second I will share this bed with you...' while Merlin stutters 'what? no, that's not what I meant.' Arthur: 'good' and he leaves his chambers

@@embreis2257 hmmm interesting that’s the first place his mind went at that not very suggestive statement😏 where your brain at Arthur? BBC only let that joke slide cause Arthur rejected him🙄 if he’d misinterpreted Merlin and then been like, “yeah sure why not, climb in” BBC would’ve lost their minds.

Does he tough?

I sleep in a full bed by myself and I tend to stick to the right side of the bed, but also towards the middle because my cat will be on either side, depending on how she's feeling. Or right in between my legs so I can't move

Sigil's were given to,people who became blood brothers too, who were prepared to give their lives for each other - just like Merlin and Arthur.

The Merthur is real🤴🏼❤👦🏻

@@caroldixon3952 Thank you! Someone who doesn't make their friendship into something romantic! I completely agree with you

That's right really enjoy the film merlin so much

also means that if arthur died, merlin literally had a right to take the throne, ABOVE blood so he could before morgana coul

Which is a bit stupid when you think about it, since damsons (part of the plum family) are native to Britain and have been since forever!

you have to admit it was a rather large plum. suspiciously large, maybe because of magic? but you are right, not identifying plums is weird as they were actually available for an early 6th century Arthur, whereas all the strawberries, tomatoes, grapes etc we saw the characters eat over the seasons were outright wrong

@@embreis2257 really? ive seen plums like that i think its also probably why it was deleted

@@clownmonomaniac2630 it was deleted probably because it didn't advance the plot, Merlin was shown snatching food [leftovers] from staff randomly in the hallway to serve Arthur for breakfast (suggesting to us he is considered 'special' among the staff for getting away with this outrageous behaviour), lying to Arthur about his whereabouts or why he is in such a state (thus making his character appear shifty) and Arthur fishing some leafy stuff from his hair as too domestic and Merthur-like and ofc not recognising a plum is not really believable

@@embreis2257 Also, in Season 1 Gaius gives Merlin a sandwich. Sandwiches were not a thing until the 1700s.

sus

And also that Arthur searched a good number of places and I assume they are all far away, instead of just dress himself haha

also the fact that arthur called him a dollophead when in a different episode he asked merlin if that is even a real work (meaning that he picked it up from merlin)

I 100% believe Arthur uses the “get dressed” thing just as an excuse to be worried on why Merlin’s missing. I mean yes, the scene where he made Gaius help, but that seems ridiculous even for Arthur not to be faking. I think the prat just wants his manservant to just stay where he can protect him

I think that's why Merlin got away with so much inappropriate behavior, like absconding with another royal's breakfast to give to Arthur. It's like Arthur was so unmanageable pre-Merlin the entire palace, court, and manor were thrilled to give Merlin literally anything as long as he reigned Arthur in.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My thoughts exactly, for any deleted scenes in any show or movie. They filmed it and put it out; it’s canon

exactly like the reason they cut it was because they didn't have time in the episode so like- to me its just the between-the-scenes scenes

Great minds think alike

All scene is in the episode

now why would you say something like that.. 😞

@@vrykl44 not that last episode quote 😔

No not the last episode quote I'm still getting over it...😞😢

It's the two sides of the same coin for me 😂😌

I spat out my coffee during that scene.IKR SOULMATE BEHAVIOR

SOULMATE BEHAVIOUR- No crackship here otp j

all that Merthur shipping should be channeled into them being _soulmates_ . that sounds the most accurate interpretation

@@embreis2257 yee but i still ship them, likeee

I bet if they didnt cut them, then BBC would've banned them cause they have to keep it "family friendly" such bull sh*t man I am so sick of homophobia

I think they might have been excluded out of need. Sometimes the only way to include romance like this is to literally hide it.

İt is confirmed that they love each other

@@indiruygulama2927yeah julian one of the show writers i think said they wrote the last ep as a love story

I read so somewhere that the cast decided to play everything uber -gay once BBC said the storyline had to stay straight.

Same 😔

It would've been soo obvious then.. omg the first scene he touched his HAIR!!! omggggg

@@Anonymous-hx5vw fr there was a VERY specific reason why they didn't add them, they didn't want to make the ship even more obvious

@@LP-oi8me Exactly!! And it's so nice to see the Merthur community is still aliveee 🥺

@@Anonymous-hx5vw yep, like Merlin. Still alive and still suffering...

hey, how it´s going? does it get any better? I finished 5x13 last week and I don´t feel like getting over it at all, even though i knew how it´s gonna end when i started the series, it completely broke me, so i just want to know if there´s any chance of living a normal life once again

@@mkrizkova28 It'll get better eventually. I'm actually so glad I'm not the only one who always feels down for a while after the finale. Reading fanfic helps a lot. Especially modern AUs, they're my favorite.

Fanfic heals all wounds. No that’s a lie but it helps. If I can make a recommendation, We Begin Again is my favorite Merthur fic, it’s really long and there prequels and sequels but you don’t need to read them. It’s post canon, modern setting. It is just SO good.

Maybe you can try Merlin season 6, kingdom come, for me now it’s the finale :) I haven’t read other fanfic but this one is good! A complete script ready to be filmed actually. They have soundtracks too on RU-vid.

@@stellaamanda3897 that one is really good, I haven’t finished it yet cause I was starting to get frustrated with the character relationships and stuff but I’m probs get back to it eventually. The person who reads it is so good though!! Just, perfect voice for the story.

Dude!!! That’s what I’ve always thought! Like Arthur is an idiot, but like he’s also a capable warrior who lived like 20 years without Merlin

It's usually to do with keeping to the time schedule & having to decide which other scenes to cut instead. I am only glad that they kept them as outtakes on the dvd & that people can share them.

The writers new what they were doing and Colin and Bradley brought it to life ... better than they expected..

excuse me, but a scientific survey with lots of peer review would confirm that about 99+% of young actors auditioning for the _Arthur_ role would show similar behaviour as Bradley shortly after being paired up with Colin and working with him for about 5mins. there is no escaping 🥰

@@embreis2257 Well then that just proves it's natural for Arthur to lv Merlin. No matter the actor.

excuse me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ncu506piuuc.html they certainly do

Nah actually they expected it and wrote the last episode accordingly… the last episode was literally heartbreaking end of a love story episode as said by I think the producer or director.

‘Cause BBC saw through that subtle-not-so-subtle proposal and said NOPE two bro’s, sitting at a campfire five feet apart cause they’re not gay.

@@ArianaCapraro I love you for the vine

​​@@ArianaCapraro kinda funny to know this after Murphy's and Katy's words about Merthur (being semi-canon). BBC said "no" but they said "yes".

@@arphrodities I frickin love them for for not giving a shit about the Big Boss Company looming overhead and just being uncensored and saying what they want. They’re just “saying what they see” like they do in all the episode commentaries 😁

How did you come to the conclusion it's marriage? Lol

We will always be! 🤩

And some of us are even participating from the grave

Because.... Arthur is not just a king. He is the Once and Future King. Take heart, for when Albion's need is greatest: Arthur will rise again

A new fan here! I just finished the show today. That ending 😭

Hahaha love it

Why does he care so much about Merlin's bottom? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

There is no context for that that is straight.

​@@ReeseAugust like dam. imagine someone told this to Arthur. its like...Merlin is his little bottom 🤔

but ofc there is context. Arthur made a remark about Merlin's 'little bottom' before while they were searching for Morgana. It's cannon and Merlin replied 'it's not as fat as yours' - there you have it, context 😄

mainly Bradley's eyes. his eyes are beaming every time he sees Colin/Merlin 🤩

Now it's 2023 and I'm still crying over it

@@MyVwccStar2023 I will always cry over Merthur until the end of time.

Of course!! 💕

The “I always sleep on the left” got me. Always? ALWAYS like in his own bed or on quests with the knights- I NEED MORE INFO. Cause that’s the assumption I immediately made was that he was talking about himself and Merlin specifically on their travels and the idea they snuggle up on quests so often they have sides just- 🥺❤️

@@ArianaCapraro we can see Arthur preferring that side of the bed...even when he's sleeping alone, he often wakes on the left side of the bed...that's what he's referring to, I suppose

@@ashley5899 Ssshhhhhh let me have my dreams 😭🤣

This always cracks me 😂😂😂😂😂ooh my God you are breathing

as Merlin said early in the show: 'there is simply no way to please you'

Also isn’t this kind of a Balinor reveal too? Like it’s never stated explicitly that Merlin’s talking about Balinor, and Arthur may be oblivious, but it’s only been a year between season 3 and 4 right? No way he forgot meeting balinor and Merlin’s reaction to his death when they thought his death equaled Camelots doomed. Emotionally packed moments aren’t easily forgettable, so this isn’t like him forgetting Mordred. Merlin said this was the place he last saw his father. It’s only been a couple years since they bonded during the sins of the father about both missing a parent. Arthur thought Merlin didn’t know his father back then, yet now he says he met him, which means something changed AFTER he came to Camelot, not before when he lived in Essetir. Now, they haven’t been by the feore Mountains or even in Essetir often because they’d be risking war between Camelot and Essetir, and Merlin’s ALWAYS with Arthur, so when would he have had the time to be by the feore mountains and without Arthur? He couldn’t have, which means Arthur was there when he saw his father for the last time. Who did they come to find that lived by the mountains in fckn essetir? Balinor. But what really stood out to me was “don’t measure yourself against a dead man” A DEAD man. Arthur said that so confidently. Didn’t even ask if Merlin’s father died and that’s why he said saw him for the last time. Arthur just assumed that “last time I saw my father” meant his father must’ve died. He KNEW he was dead because BALINOR DIED IN THAT CLEARING! Also the opener choice of the scene is a direct callback to a talk they had when Merlin was sulky about Balinor, and Arthur said the same thing, “You’re unusually quiet” he said, then he equated that to something bothering Merlin. History literally repeated itself for them here about the Merlin’s dad conflict convo- there is NO WAY that isn’t a directorial choice to show Arthur figured out that Balinor is Merlin’s father. The man who he knows died in that clearing!!!

@@shinigamis_like_apples4797 Exactly!! It’s a scene that’s so complex and impactful, I truly wish it had been in the show but I understand for plot reasons why they’d choose not to go in that direction. Still, it’s such a fantastic moment…

these bastards gave us _one hug_ in 5 seasons. one hug. no hair patting and no kiss (not even on the forehead in moments of extreme joy or relief).

@@embreis2257 i agree, we watched the whole seasons for what? To watch Merlin fail to save Arthur? Amazing...

Everything about this scene is perfect.. and by arthur giving merlin his mother's sigil..to me that represents the tight hug and the i love you between the the two of them we have all been wanting to see happen... i just love the love they have for each other.

Bradley's Arthur appears to stare at Merlin/Colin's lips quite often. can you blame him? these lips look very kissable.

The "Tuaka" is the Dorocha

I swear he's always looking at Merlin's lips

We needed more interactions like that in the show, we were robbed of how soft that is

me too. Colin has made it to my all time #1 favourite for years now and considering my state of mind when something new is released with him (even an audiobook) this probably won't change til the day I die. 😍

💯

Time schedule.

@@caroldixon3952 right haha shows can’t keep every scene they film of course, I just wish out of all the scenes that got deleted that some of these would have gotten left in

THank god there's still a handful of gay in the show between them tho

Cuts are caused by time schedule. Thinking of which my time schedule goes out the window when watching Merlin.

they included this scene shot at another location with almost all the dialogue minus 'giving the sigil' thing

literally like how they deleted the proposal in frozen 2

I’m really sorry but is Grace your last or middle name? My first is Amelia and middle is Grace so I’m just curious. It’s nice when people match others

@@Suffering_Time yeah it’s my middle name 🥰

he is so full of himself^^

the fact that something similar happens in a gay show called young royals in which a person, Wilhelm says "i love you" and the other guy replies with "i hope you have a nice Christmas"

@@maithiligupta7315 I know, that was brutal but also kind of fair I guess

@@liaistotallyfine i mean its all better now coz simon finally told wille that he loves him

@@maithiligupta7315 yeah I really loved the second season

Of course! 💕

Bro you are GENIUS.....

Second the first response to your comment! Also, is the 'also also actually actually' a reference to SuperCarlinBrothers? Because if so; nice ;-)

Thanks :)

@@merlinsimpclub first of all blessings to you for bringing so much joy and love to the merlin fanclub.. i hope you continue to make more beautiful clips from this amazing show .. love from the Caribbean 🥰

you are too kind. it most probably was the BBC who made the showrunner distance himself from his own DVD commentary made for the last episode 3 weeks later. in the commentary with Katie, Julian said they considered it 'a love story between two men'.

The irony is strong in this comment 😅
