Honestly, couldn't they have cast someone who actually looks like they're capable of producing testosterone!!
Heh! I know. In that sex dream sequence with Gwen it was almost impossible to tell who was who with both of them having flowing blonde hair and delicate frames.
But, things could've been worse - they could have cast Alex Pettyfer!!
Ugh. Alex Pettyfer's 15 minutes have only just started but I already want him to go away forever. He's not even that pretty anymore. Hopefully once "Beastly" tanks, Hollywood will stop trying to make him happen.
My only gripe is did they have to make her *soo* batshit insane? Like, a little nuance goes a LONG way! IDK, it kinda reeks of sexism. Like, Morgan can't be powerful *and* female unless she's crazy.
I wish she was a bit more subtle, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now. They did portray Uther has an utter douche which gave credence to Morgan's hatred of him, and she did apologize to Arthur to before Lot murdered his non-Claire-Forlani mom in retribution for Arthur killing his son in self-defense.
Merlin comes across as a manipulative, kind of creepy dick (though we're supposed to cheer for him and presumably love to hate Morgan), Lot is crazy (over-react much there buddy?), and Uther was a cold-hearted, pillaging rapist, so it's not like Morgan is the only person of questionable morality.
Hopefully the flesh out the character a bit more though. I don't want another smirking!Morgana debacle.
