For the four-year-old: there’s sword fighting, and there’s nothing he likes better than SWORDS or FIGHTING.
I think in this way we are all eternally 4 year olds.
I mean, they make Sam and Dean look like grizzled veterans (okay, maybe Sam and Dean are grizzled veterans these days, but you know what I mean).
Ha! Poor guys, if they showed the mileage instead of the years I think grizzled would be too true.
My biggest problem with Merlin is that the writing is so incredibly bad (and the production values aren't all that great either).
For another, Merlin, like the best English hero stories, is about becoming a leader of men (you know, like canon-Arthur, Robin Hood and his Merry Men, or even Scott of the Antartic). In contrast, American heroes tend to be lone wolves (Superman) or bonded pairs.
Hmm, that's an interesting thought. I'm not sure I've seen enough English stories to make the comparison, but I could see it. I think it has a lot to do with the apolitical nature of most American entertainment and cultural life.
I agree with you about waiting for that crossover, it could be very interesting.
