From what I've watched so far, I think this is the basic plot line of Merlin:
- Gaius: Merlin don't do the thing.
- Merlin: okay I won't do the thing.
- Merlin: (goes to the dragon to ask about the thing)
- Dragon: Merlin don't do the thing.
- Merlin: (does the thing)
- Gaius: Merlin did you do the thing?
- Merlin: No Gauis of course I didn't do the thing.
- Arthur: Merlin you idiot.

And this is why I love Enchanted. It’s like a Disney movie and a Disney parody at the same time.
I may be the only one, but I respect Enchanted as I do every other Musical—even if it wasn’t a stage production first.
this movie is also the only disney movie where the actual prince questions the random singing and does not in fact realize he is a disney prince.

“…the story where the boy is a hero, who defeats the villain through violence, and collects his reward, which is a woman with no friends and who doesn’t speak.”
WHAT A GOOD LINE THOUGH
This is why shows like Steven Universe and Adventure Time art important, because they show not only women engaged in powerful yet benevolent positions, but they show men and boys as strong not only in a physical sense but in an empathetic sense, and also unafraid to engage in femininity and be proud to associate with women.
“I hated her for not caring about me. I hated her for leaving that night, and I hated myself, too, not only because I let her go but because if I had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. She would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and I would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.”My Favourite Books: Looking For Alaska by John Green
