Fuck. This one stings guys, because I love this trilogy.
None of this makes ANY sense. I'm pretty sure there were no black druids, especially as the Romans tried to wipe them all out. The casting for Merlin is doubly stupid, as it's specifically pointed out how OLD he is during the course of the books.
And Guinevere was always going to be blackwashed, because she's a redhead in the books, and we all know what happens to redheads in media.
I'm surprised that Derfel and Arthur are allowed to be white seeing as they're the main heroes of the series.
It's also worth noticing that all the bad guys are still white. Funny that.
I strongly advise everyone to give this a wide berth, and go and read the original books.
Edit, because I'm still angry: fuck everyone involved in making this.
2nd edit: the actor playing Ligessac is also black. Yay diversity! Cunts.
