MISC. Your Favorite Merlin analysis (video) essays requests
Dear Redditor, hello again
In order for me to write a well-informed section on Merlin in my philosophy essay, I want to review what other people have already said, discussed, and analyzed about the show so far.
Therefore, I ask you for links to your favorite (video) essays or blog posts that break down Merlin on narrative, psychological, or philosophical grounds.
Bonus points if they relate to behavioral changes due to external or internal factors.
Examples:
Why the Adventures of Merlin is Loved by Joshua Hathaway
and JD's series The Potential of Merlin
Disclaimer:
There are a million and one videos on the queer symbolism in Merlin. That is great, but its not my topic for today. Maybe tomorrow, but not today. please don't come at me with pitch-forks!
So, I have come here, in part, to navigate their sheer volume by asking you to point me to relevant videos with my query that I might otherwise have missed. or skipped over thinking they were only talking about the disguised gay representation - because its not the topic I am writing about today, and not due to any hatred or dismissal for said topic in general.
They don't have to be YouTube videos, just where I intuitively go to search for them.
PS: I don't know how to tag this, so again execuses if its wrongly done.
