The winter King ep 6

[2minutes2midnight]

Iain De Caestecker as Arthur in The Winter King 1x01

I really really liked first episode and I’m super excited for whole show 🤩 I can’t wait to see next episode!

Iain already gave really powerful performance and I bet it just the beginning and we will see even more amazing scenes with him ♥️.

Of course some haters (who can’t stand black Merlin..) already bombard scoring with bad reviews so if you watched the first episode and liked it - please share some love on sites like IMDB and social media so the cast know that people enjoy it 🥰

there are no thoughts in my head

Alright I’m gonna say it: Simon saw someone going through madness like he was and he immediately thought “I can give her the help and support I needed back then”

The gods sent a wolf so Nimue didn't loose her virginity to Derfel, but they could't sent a real wolf to save her from being raped? Why not? What good are they for? Uhg

And it's so silly that if she looses her virginity she looses her powers, come on!

Apparently even pagan gods were created by men to control women's sexuality

Other than that it was a great episode

Time really is a flat circle.

alright

that’d be unethical!

"The dead one! Yeah I haven't thought about her in a long time!"

A little theory I've had about Winter King's original motives based on his heartless comment about Betty and Ice King's original motives for kidnapping princesses in the first place...... clearly she gave off Bad Ex Vibes…

Iain de Caestecker as Arthur in the Winter King 1x10

And that’s a wrap on season 1 of the Winter King! I really enjoyed the finale - there was right amount of tension, the acting was wonderful, cinematography beautiful and the ending makes me want more of this story! So I really hope we will get season 2♥️. Im so proud of Iain because this project was completely different than his previous things and he did excellent job and it’s a pleasure to watch him on screen ♥️

I've seen a couple of posts making jokes about the Casting of the Winter King. You know, stuff to the effect of "I can't believe that if you mix Tom Kenny and Tom Kenny you get Brian David Gilbert" or "Brian David Gilbert is exactly at the midpoint between two flavors of Tom Kenny". And all of these posts are very funny, and I do like them a lot. This post is not meant to start an argument or criticize or complain about them as much as me adding my opinions and thoughts inspired by the thoughts these posts evoked in me.

Because, the thing is... I actually don't think describing the Winter King as 'the middle' of Simon Petrikov and Ice King is a fully accurate way to put it. This is certainly what his design evoke, I think that is how obviously how he presents himself but... after what he did I think he is actually even farther away from Simon Petrikov than Ice King ever was.

That's kinda why the Winter King has a different voice, I think? On a meta level. It's a subtle little reminder that this guy and this guy

Still have, on some level, more in common with each other than either do with this guy

And from an in-universe perspective, I think with the way he switches back to Tom Kenny just as his magic fades away and he's about to die...I think the implication is that the Winter King has been using magic to make his appearance more idealized and attractive. Most obviously in terms of height.

And he probably also did a similar thing with his voice.

Therefore, the main conclusion we must draw from this is that Brian David Gilbert is the most attractive man Simon Petrikov can think of.
