Why did Merlin ask Uther Pendragon for his son as payment for letting him sleep with Igraine? The entire kingdom wouldn't have been swept into turmoil had Arthur stayed with Uther at the time of his death, and no one would've challenged Arther's ascension to the throne since they knew it would be Uther's son. Merlin threw the whole country into turmoil for Shit All reasons and gave nothing to show for it.
Why the Hell would Merlin do this?
-
Because Merlin is a big butt.

Pretty much everyone in those Arthurian Legends is a despicable asshole. Percival is the only decent one among them, so he was of course the only one pure enough to get the Grail. Merlin is especially duplicitous and annoying, and that's saying something given his company in those stories. He sort of makes up for it be being loyal to Arthur (eventually), but by then Arthur himself is intensely corrupt. Its strange that modern people look at those legends as examples of Knightly Virtue, courtly-love and chivalry, when 99% of the characters involved lived up to none of those standards. You can look at it as a humanist tale of humans failing to be perfect, but I don't think the authors looked at it that way. They were used to their rulers being giant dickheads, and wrote their mythical leaders accordingly.

I'm surprised most of the people in this thread have no idea what Gaara is talking about. Seriously, what the -blam!- are you people being taught in school these days? Arthurian legend is basic shit here.
