* PoisonousFriend: Morganne to Méleagant, who was never a particularly great person to start with but had been considering a HeelFaceTurn before running into her.

It is loosely based on two major Arthurian sources, Creator/ChretienDeTroyes' ''Lancelot, Le Chevalier de la Charrette'' and Thomas Malory's ''Literature/LeMorteDArthur''.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Sir Gawain has plenty of stories about him in the King Arthur mythos, but he's mostly just a background character here

* RomanceOnSet: Zaho (Morganne) and Florente (Arthur) met during the production and are now married with a baby!

''La Légende du Roi Arthur'' is a French musical written by Dove Attia based on Myth/ArthurianLegend. It premiered in 2015.

* {{Expy}}: Méleagant is one of {{ComicBook/Loki}}- specifically, the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version. They look ''very'' similar, and both of them are [[TheResenter resenters]] who ultimately ally themselves with the villain because they feel scorned by the success of a nobler, worthier rival (whose greater worth is proved by being able to wield a magical weapon Loki and Méleagant cannot even lift), though Méleagant never completes the journey to AntiHero Loki eventually went through.

It is loosely based on two major Arthurian myth sources, Creator/ChretienDeTroyes' ''Lancelot, Le Chevalier de la Charrette'' and Thomas Malory's ''[[Literature/LeMorteDarthur Le Morte d'Arthur]]''.

!!Tropes in this work include:

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Morganne taking Guinevre's form and [[BrotherSisterIncest sleeping with Arthur]] certainly isn't treated as a ''good'' thing, but she doesn't really face the degree of condemnation for it you'd expect, especially considering her StartOfDarkness was witnessing Arthur's father using the same deception on their mother.
** The Korean staging at least depicts it as traumatic for Arthur, rather than just upsetting- he actually curls into a ball and weeps after he realizes what has happened and how genuinely his sister hates him.

* BiTheWay: Sir Ké is very attracted to women, to the point he considers putting the moves on Morganne once he realizes they're not related. He's also keen on showing Sir Gawain the "wet kiss" he saw Lancelot and Guinevre sharing and dances with him rather than any of the ladies.

* BittersweetEnding: It's less bleak than the original ending, which adds the "sweet" part, but Guinevre and Lancelot are still exiled and Arthur is left completely alone- and it's entirely possible Morganne is pregnant with Mordred. (In the {{Takarazuka}} staging, she ''definitely'' is.)

* {{Expy}}: Méleagant is one of {{ComicBook/Loki}}- specifically, the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version. They look ''very'' similar, and both of them are [[TheResenter resenters]] who ultimately ally themselves with the BiggerBad because they feel scorned by the success of a nobler, worthier rival (whose greater worth is proved by being able to wield a magical weapon Loki and Méleagant cannot even lift), though Méleagant never completes the journey to AntiHero Loki eventually went through.

* GenreSavvy: Merlin and Morganne, though Merlin has the disadvantage of being too honor bound to stubborn kings to do anything about it.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Morganne taking Guinevre's form and [[BrotherSisterIncest sleeping with Arthur]] certainly isn't treated as a ''good'' thing, but she doesn't really face the degree of condemnation for it you'd expect, especially considering the grudge she holds against her father for using a similar deception to rape Arthur's mother.

* BastardBastard: Inverted with Morganne- she's Uther's ''legitimate'' daughter, who resents and plots to destroy her heroic bastard half-brother out of jealousy at his succession into power and plenty.

* BittersweetEnding: It's less bleak than the original ending, which adds the "sweet" part, but Guinevre and Lancelot are still exiled and Arthur is left completely alone- and it's entirely possible Morganne is pregnant with Mordred. (In the {{Takarazuka}} staging, she ''definitely'' is.}

* AnimalMotifs: Merlin is associated with birds

** Guinevre is a milder example; she's physically modeled on [[Television/GameOfThrones Daenerys Targaryen]] and even wears a couple of similar dresses, but doesn't have much in common with her personally.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Or at least a grudging respect and willingness to accept a place of honor. Urien becomes one of the Knights of the Round Table even though he fought in Méleagant's civil war agains Arthur's claim to the throne. He seems very bitter about the whole thing
* FashionableAsymmetry: A lot. The most gratuitous example is probably the fur-trimmed red ankle-length coats that the Knights of the Round Table wear as a sort of uniform. Said coats only cover the right half of the body

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Méleagant got a lot more villainous after Arthur married Guinevre

* TragicVillain: Morganne
