Seriously, the way we watch Arthur's whole world change from the very first second he comes into contact with Merlin is so. damn. cute.
There's no doubt why Arthur let him get away with outright "disrespectful" and borderline treasonous comments and behaviour the first time they met.
I mean, look at the way he instantly lit up at the concept of verbal and physical sparring with this elfin looking dude with the real "couldn't give a sh*t- try me" attitude. Someone who not only took on a knight of Camelot in mid training, but didn't change his attitude one little bit when he found out he was addressing the goddamn prince of Camelot, in fact he doubled down and got worse.
And Arthur loved the challenge, loved the defiance, loved the concept of spending more time with this guy, especially time spent doing something he loves - sparring. There's nothing Arthur loves more than a physical activity - we see it throughout all five seasons. Search the whole castle on a wild goose chase? Absolutely. Train 15 new knights in a single day? Sign him up. Ride out to battle a magical beast? He's already out the door.
And even though he knows (thinks) he can beat Merlin into submission in two moves, he's finally going up against someone who doesn't give a flying f*ck who he is and will square up to him and give his absolute best. And he hopes this will be a regular occurrence.
And the dismay when Uther declares Merlin to be Arthur's new servant isn't because he doesn't want Merlin around - it's because he's afraid it will change the relationship they've already begun to establish. That Merlin won't develop into the one person he can trust to be real with him, and instead he will become reserved and "yes-sir-no-sir-three-bags-full-sir" like every. other. damn. person.
And you can't miss the way his eyes absolutely light up that first time Merlin does his servant duties and continues being defiant, honest, real.
I love these characters so damn much, and I couldn't love Colin and Bradley more for how incredible they are.

Reporter: How does it feel to be the worst servant in all of Camelot??
Merlin: In a city full of ass-kissers I wear it as a fucking badge of honor!
Reporter: what about the rumors that you’re always in the tavern?
Merlin: WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT

But Merlin is punished for this exactly… when he chooses Arthur over destiny, he seals their fate.
Arthur will die at Mordred’s hand because Merlin tells Arthur that magic has no place in Camelot.
That’s what breaks my heart
You know what gets me? The prophecy is that Merlin will help Arthur build a united kingdom where magic is free again. But at some point Merlin completely disregard the prophecy in favour of Arthur.
When Arthur finds out he's born of magic, Merlin reminds him magic is evil so that he may live without burden or ager.
When Mordred is dying, magic is evil because if we heal Mordred with magic he'll kill Arthur.
Magic and Albion are not part of the equation anymore. Arthur comes before anything else, even the prophecy itself

Does anybody ever think about how the very last thing Arthur ever did was caress Merlin’s head and smile softly at him while his breath slipped away, never once looking away from him

There are plenty of questionable moments throughout Merlin but one thing they did super well is Arthur and Uther's relationship. Uther's an abusive father, but Arthur loves him, and we see Uther's delicate side often enough to understand why.
A moment that really hits hard is in season 3, after Uther discovers Arthur and Gwen together, is when Arthur pleads his case. He scrambles between three different tactics, first sincerity, followed by more princely authoritative force, and then begging and apologizing.
Uther is unpredictable, a trait that makes him so awful as a father. So watching Arthur, who knows him better than anyone, swing wide so fast, within a single conversation, trying to find the right card to play in his father's game, is really heart-wrenching.
It shows a very special emotional intelligence in Arthur, albeit a devastating one.

Quote that reminds me of : Merlin
"If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you'd be doomed. You'd be ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to."
- Margaret Atwood

"average knight kills 50 people a year" factoid is actually just statistical error. Average knight kills maybe 2 people per year. Manslaughters Gawain and Murder-In-The-Third-Degree Lancelot, who live in Camelot and kill hundreds of people a week, are outliers adn should not have been counted
