Chilling. Particularly the contrast between the scenes of Merlin and Arthur goofing around and the later stuff. Luckily for us (or for him?) Arthur is a better king than Uther ever could be. The clips at the beginning were perfect for the words.
A brilliant 'what if?' and you communicated it really well. A great choice of clips, especially when you were contrasting the way their relationship used to be with the way it is now.
Arthur was Morgana's Brother and she fought for magic people in Camelot but her cruelty made Arthur's heart harded with magic people so I Think that Moses part would be great with Morgana
Oh my goodness! This is what would have happened. Future king or not, Merlin stands up for what's right, regardless if it gets him into trouble and he's doing it on his own or not.
Wow, this is incredible! (And - Lostinthe Shadows- I think we're all wondering what Arthur's reaction will be). Even Clark's powers were revealed to some of his closest friend on Smallville...(Hint, Hint, TPTB at Merlin).
I'm crying. Seriously, I'm actually moved to bloody tears right now. This is a brilliant vid, but it's the absolute, complete OPPOSITE of what I want the reveal to be like. My God, this is actually my nightmare outcome! D''''''''''''''':
It never crossed my mind to use this song for Merlin but when I watched it I was like: "Right, this has kinda the same background.... story.... whatever. IT FITS!!!!!!!!!!"
Dang, and I thought this sequence was epic in "The Prince of Egypt"...it pales in comparison to your video, for serious. I can tell you put a lot of careful thought into choosing the shots, because each match-up was a gem. I can't stop watching!! And yes, I do feel like in a very realistic universe, Arthur might in fact end up being like Ramses. (But hopefully not lol)
I love this video and at the same time can't help but thin 'Every Merlin fan's nightmare!' But the vid itself is awesome and reminds me a bit of a fanfic called 'shattered destiny'
My R.S teacher made us watch the clip to this and the song, now I can see it in my best fandom! Although, I think it's better in this fandom! Great job!
Your video inspired me to do a fanfiction ^_^ Although it's not as centered. It'll be called When We Were Young and this dynamic with Arthur and Merlin will be near the end where Uther and Balinor and sorting through their emotions. Balinor will have been a ward of Camelot much like Morgana and Uther was like his brother. Can I mention your video in the Author's Note?
ok but imagine a prince of egypt au where arthur was the prince and merlin was the gypsy (obviously sorcerer in this case) who was used as entertainment, then when arthur went over to his side he just looks him in the eyes and says 'you gave me all the respect I deserve...' and merlin just goes 'Merlin. And back then you were a prat' and arthur laughs at his own expense for the first time.
Ok. Really weird idea but...this song. With Mordred as the choir in the background talking to Arthur, sending the swarm and scourge etc. Merlin as Moses, asking Mordred to stop terrorising Camelot's people. Arthur as Rameses, ordering Mordred to stop and hardening his heart against magic. Leaving poor Merlin, still asking Mordred to let Camelot be free and looking very upset at Arthur. Doesn't it make sense a bit?
As amazing as this video is, I certainly hope the story doesn't happen like "the Prince of Egypt". If it did, it would all fit. Arthur "Ramses" has a cruel father. Merlin "Moses" is not like them. A different side. It would match perfectly if Arthur did turn out like Ramses:O
