Omg omg BBC Merlin as descendants. Here me out!!!
Arthur as Ben
Merlin as Mal
Morgana as Evie
Gwen as Doug
It makes perfect sense to me tbh because magic which everyone thought was evil was cast out to the isle. Then Prince Arthur thinks they should implement change so he suggests a program to bring druids over to Camelot from the isle. His father is unhappy due to what happened to his mother but allows it thinking it’ll teach Arthur a lesson. Cue Arthur getting love cookied by Merlin and falling in love even though the spell wears off. Balinor wanted revenge at the thingy and it adds up cause he’s a dragon lord so he try’s to attack everyone and Merlin stops him accidentally killing his father causing him to become the dragon lord. Don’t ask me how the third movie would work out idk ooh or Balinor could be like hades idk just some thoughts.
The scene for ridiculous with all the knights as the team would be sm fun though. Also this stuff wouldn’t keep coming into my head if the pendragon siblings wouldn’t be so in love with their servants that they would sing cheesy love songs to them.
How long do y’all think Merlin just sat on the shore waiting for Arthur to come back? Merlin probably gets so mentally exhausted waiting for him that for some years he just sits. He waits for Arthur cause it’s all he knows how to do.
And it’s like did Arthur feel the lifetimes that when by or was he just in a trance. Did Arthur wait to return, did he know?
Okay that’s a really interesting thought but…
The symbol of the pendragon house hold is red supporting as backdrop to the golden dragon. So while your hc makes sense the red (Arthur) doesn’t bleed and cover the gold (Merlin). So, Arthur abd merlin(red and gold) can’t begin the golden age until the dragon lord Merlin (hence the gold dragon in the symbol) has the red background support(Arthur).
I love merlin don’t get me wrong but he simply exists as a way growing Arthur. So while they are two sides of the same coin, yada yada  one cannot exist without the other the hate towards magic, which is represented by the pendragons for the majority of the show cannot exist without magic. Merlin was born with magic. His entire being is magic at its core.  The way I interpret this is the only way we can get the golden age is by excepting the parts that we were taught to hate so for the golden age to happen, Arthur must come to  accept  magic, accept merlins magic. So when this acceptance happens, the golden age has arrived, because the golden dragon meets the red as one. 
I hope that makes sense because it took me forever to figure out how to halfway word it into making sense.
Omg I was just think which I’m sure someone else has said this but…
Yk the color of the Camelot seal are red and gold.
Merlin is always trying to save Arthur using his magic which is gold. Arthur always ends up hurt anyways because he’s an idiot but he bleeds which is red.
So yes two sides of one coin and what not. So when Arthur does Albion or whatever it’s called can’t come to its golden age because the red (Arthur) is gone. Leaving only one part of the great Albion which is the gold (Merlin).
