I felt so betrayed by that one. Honestly I am completely turned off by that universe now.
The crazy thing to me is that there were perfectly good places they could have introduced blacks if they really wanted that, but they just threw them everywhere.
Random black knight, random black people in a village, black elf, and make sure we get a black dwarf in there too for good measure. It’s just absurd. And that’s before we get to the butchery of the main cast…
I’m convinced now it is because they don’t know how to create an interesting original character, so they MUST do race swaps because otherwise the black one would be inferior to the main cast. It explains what they are doing to the superheroes as well.
Yeah I think I was just that disappointed, because honestly Henry Cavill was a good casting choice. It's like, ok, you understood that it was important to have someone that actually looks like Geralt to play the character, and that's why you picked him instead of some skinny asian guy, but you felt like you could mess with Triss, Jennefer, Fringilla, and all of these other important characters?
Maybe if CD Project Red comes out with another game more in line with the books my opinion will change, we'll see.
thats what i do for the disneywars garbage, eberything post 2013 doesnt exist, it was bob eigers gay gangbang fantasy, none of it was ever filmed, thankfully. we could've gotten Luke guzzling green milk if they had!!
When your response to the question of "what makes the character interesting?" is "they're [progressive stack placement]", you admit openly that there is NOTHING interesting about the character. It is a coarse physical description, on par with "well, what's interesting about them is they have two arms!".
Every single invention, innovation, character design, character redesign, and character critique done by these CalArts dropouts starts, line one, with "they're [progressive stack placement]". They have no ambitions, no personalities, no quirks, no dreams, no fantasies, no desires, no fears (or if they do, they're much less important traits). All they are, is "black", "gay", "woman", etc. Single word descriptors of coarse physical characteristics. Of course they can't write an interesting character.
Because if you think that's a character summary, you're the most racist, sexist, homophobic person on Earth. "Oh, they SAID 'they're black', that means these three hundred character traits, which are all endemic to all black people forever everywhere!". And those CalArts rejects ARE that racist, that sexist, and that homophobic. They DO think "he's gay" is an entire dissertation of fixed, immutable characteristics.
