BBC Merlin really is the most show of all time, huh. Casting 4 almost completely unknown children to play the leads against absolute hotshots Anthony Head and John Hurt. John Hurt, who, plays the world's shittest dragon. Not to mention casting a Black woman to play the legendary Queen Guinevere in 2008. When they swapped "rests on the shoulders of a young boy" to "rests on the shoulders of a young man" at the start of S4. Magic as a very blatant metaphor for queerness which Katie McGrath all but confirmed in the DVD commentary for 5x13. Complete disregard for any historical accuracy. "Do you know how to walk on your knees?" Arthur's slutty little S1 necklaces and bracelets. His beautiful brown coat that they nerfed by S3. Bradley James as Arthur Pendragon. You get it.
To celebrate, we've finally made a trailer explaining what Dropout's whole deal is. Got a friend or relative you want to explain Dropout to, but need some visual/audio aids?
This should cover you.
Dropout has improv, game shows, specials, gaming, and SO much more - and all on a streaming service that is extremely cheap AND wants you to share your password with friends who can't afford a Dropout subscription themselves.
And if you're still not signed up, you can do so right here!
Shane: [whispering] We did it. We found the guy. We found the big guy. He's right here. [pans over to the Lincoln Memorial, District of Columbia]
Matt: Big.
Shane: [still whispering] Big. Big guy.
Seeing a lot of "Wish the time quangle used Side Quests, I'd love to see... (Squing, Imelda, Squak, Chirp, etc)" but I raise you... a time quangle with 5 humanoid people and a single sapient stoat (Siobhan as Jaysohn). Maybe Brennan gets to play Tula as an NPC. We deserve it.
"The problem with trying to be historically accurate, is that history doesn't care"
So much of the time we think of historical cultures as being very uniform, but people have always been weird, and our expectations of past behaviour don't always match the reality!
