Arthur: "Give Me The DAGGER!!!" (Once Upon A Time S5E4)

OUAT S5E4: The Broken Kingdom
Camelot is just green screen y'all
Can someone tell me in the comment section how does this Avalon sand works again? I get it when he used it to Guinevere so she could see that Arthur isn't as 'broken' or 'full of flaws' but I don't get the effect it has on Snow + Charming. Like, why are they being mind-controlled and on his team now? This 'brainwashed' loyalty supersedes their love for Emma? I mean I'm pretty sure that at one point they'll know that there's something's wrong. Plus, since Camelot and its grandness is fake, why does the the rest of the OUAT peeps can still view it as a grand kingdom, aren't they like not being hit by the Avalon sand? Sorry, I'm writing this all out of excitement.
Can someone please enlighten me please?
Do share with all the ONCERS out there!

I see a lot of Rumple in Arthur. Both obsessed with that flippin dagger. Both starving for power and control, both never being truly satisfied with what they have.

[@andresplatas]

I agree

[@Mini-Toast_]

+Dylan Parker Except Rumpel never used Magic to make her into something she isn't. Even in the second season when Belle asked him if he would use magic on her if he didn't do what she said, he said he wouldn't And he was even willing to let her be with WIll.

[@terrancekepner8146]

At least Rumple never used magic on Belle

[@e.keough2975]

And nobody ever helped Guinivere. The end.

[@DamontheDemon7]

that's because these are medieval times. the queen is never as important as the king, especially when the king is a famous icon like Arthur.

[@breannadavis6085]

​@@DamontheDemon7 also, Arthur used that magic sand on the whole kingdom apparently. EVERYONE was mind controlled. They wouldn't be able to notice that she needed help

[@DamontheDemon7]

​@@breannadavis6085 Indeed. She might as well have been Invisible Girl.

This version of Arthur is the most insecure evil version I've ever seen.

[@kjn394]

Wait a second...so Merlin told him that he WOULDN'T become king?? I completely missed that! It's amazing what a difference subtitles can make... Arthur's a complete nut!!

[@toplaycool21]

I guess she is still under that spell to this day. She joined Katherine and Mulan in 'unfinished land.'

[@devonbickett349]

Arthur's has gone utterly mental it's a shame that he believes that he needs a Sword to rule a kingdom despite everything he already needed to rule

[@artisticalex1206]

Liam Garrigan is such a good looking guy. And he is the perfect King Arthur to me.

[@Darthwin1]

the sands seems like a magic band aid to a problem. on items they appear fixed. on people at least Guenevere it appears to fix her damaged love for him or at least makes her think everything is fine. It seems to also give her some perspective since she is made to understand the importance of the quest. I am guessing with snow and charming it repaired their trust in the king making them willing to follow him.

[@farahjohnson7917]

From the moment I saw him I had a bad vibe about this guy. Guess my instinct were right

[@escapistfromhell1543]

He was way too good to be true

[@timlemmens1087]

Here is a great example of acting from Joana Metrass as she completely changes her preformance after the enchanted sand is used on her. And it is very tragic.

[@DarkAdonisVyers]

I can't believe that Once Upon a Time had evil Arthur, Disney had recently acquired Star Wars, but there was no reference to Mordred and "Arth Vader", or does Disney not want to admit that Arthur banged his sister? Yes, I played the Saber Wars event in Fate/grand order.

[@ChristineTheHippie]

I agree it 's too bad Mordred wasn't in this, but being Disney, they probably didn't feel comfortable with the whole incest bit. It would be interesting if Mordred was in this, but was on the good side and no one believed him until after and then had to apologize and ask his help to take down Arthur.

[@DarkAdonisVyers]

Now, that I think about it, Arthur had Mordred with Morgan, and Lancelot had Galahad with Elaine. My Arthurian lore might be lacking, but did Guinevere get pregnant with either Arthur or Lancelot?

[@ChristineTheHippie]

I don't think she got pregnant with either.

[@MrShaun42088]

why the hell did you cut off the ending? :P

[@NicolasMHarrison]

He should have spent more time trying to seek ally’s and making more money so he can rebuild his kingdom then worrying about the dagger. All he had to do was remove the sword, right?

[@diggersam8865]

When Arthur accused Guinevere of having an affair with Lancelot her face changed like they were talking about two different things and she said, "Its not what you think, he is saying goodbye he leaving Camelot." Why would she say that? What does she even mean Cause to me it seems she doesn't love Lancelot the way he loves her, cause remember she never directly said she loved Lancelot. Also there was barely any romance between Guinevere and Lancelot and its a very odd response considering she was just accused of cheating. Look I know it was wrong for Arthur to use the sands on her, but everyone got so riled up on Guinevere's "Brainwashing" that Guinevere and Lancelot's betrayal was not even or barely acknowledged, because you at least think the reason why would have been mentioned. Honestly, the whole Camelot arc was total joke to begin with.

[@agenttheater5]

But Lancelot actually loves he, doesn't he?

[@theofficialVEVOformu]

Yesss

[@diggersam8865]

I don’t think Guinevere loves Lancelot he way he loves her, because when she said that she follow her heart to where it belongs and Arthur accused her of having an affair she said, “it’s not what you think, he saying goodbye, he leaving Camolet!” And keep in mind Arthur just saw them embracing. Look I am not condoning what he did but everything got so rilled up about the so called brainwashing that no one aside from me and few other people notice the reason why was not even mentioned and let’s not forget Guinevere was the one who gave him the sands in the first place, and if you look at their interaction it does not seem that Arthur is distant from Guinevere. In the second episode of season five, in one scene Guinevere and Arthur were talking about Perceval and the heroes and he pulls out the sword and puts it on the table and Guinevere puts her hand in the sword and if you look at the scene Arthur is very hesitant to touch her hand like he doesn’t want to be near her. But my point is that Guinevere never directly said she loved Lancelot or even said that she didn’t loved Arthur or was leaving him.

[@sheetalchopra6582]

Yh but it's toxic

[@agenttheater5]

@@sheetalchopra6582 Lancelot's love is toxic? Or do you mean Arthur? Because I kind of get the feeling that with Arthur it's turning more into the idea of Guinevere and Camelot, Lancelot wants her to be happy. But that's just my reading of it.

ARMY?

[@diegol.3264]

I have some doubts and Idk if someone could resolve it... but why did Arthur get so mad and obsessed by restoring Excalibur? Why does he need to do it? Why is it too important?

[@narozan2769]

glory and power basically see the thing is Merlin told him that he would become king when he pulls the legendary Excalibur out of the stone but when arthur did that the sword was broken so after learning about the dagger he realized that if he restores the sword it will bring him glory his village knew about that the sword was pulled out by him but they didn't know it was broken

[@HUrick3]

I personally found this portrayal of King Arthur to be so insulting I stopped watching OUAT altogether. Horrible actor, bad dialogue, and a completely ridiculous storyline. This guy doesn’t hold a candle to Nigel Terry. RIP.

[@diggersam8865]

Howard Urick I like the actor portrayal of Arther, but I didn’t like how the show used Arthurian Legends, to me it’s like the dark aspects of Arthurian Legend was taken out of context.

[@amurad3931]

What? This storyline was interesting and I love the actor who portrayed Arthur he was not a bad actor at all
