We knew this from day one. The second they knew Cavill would sign on they tried to hamfist as much stupid “diversity” as possible because people would watch just for Cavill. After two completely dull wahman! drama seasons with small inserts of the only thing the fandom would enjoy (Geralt and Dandelion) it was completely obvious the show was never going to be more than a CW series.
And they had Cavill who is a huge fan of the books. I'm sure when they say he was difficult or rude to the female writers he probably pushed back against how they wanted to inject their own agenda into the show.
The female writers themselves openly said he would fight them back on things like adding shirtless scenes.
So they admitted to having an agenda, having one that is completely horny, and they tanked their working relationship with him because he wouldn't let them try him/the character like a piece of meat.
The gay dude they keep cutting back to is probably the worst salesman they could have. Both in terms of actual sales ability and just looking like someone I wouldn't trust to have an opinion on anything I'd want.
Unless it was doing the opposite of whatever he said to do, and in this case that means still not watching this trash.
You didn't say they were good. And honestly, even in the base series, I was never impressed with any of the actors' performances. Not even with Cavill's. Shitflix does NOT know how to pick them.
The action is...fierce.
I couldn't help but notice the hesitation in your voice, which makes me question your honesty. It just so happens that The Shitflixer and Shitflix series in general tend to have laughable action scenes as well.
It's got Michelle Yoh who is...
Literally "Who?" to me.
It's set a thousand years before The Witcher.
And? How is that supposed to sell me on this show? Can't say I was ever chomping at the bit for the Witcher world's ancient history (in the books) because there's nothing there to chomp on. You need to have an engaging story, not a fucking timeline. On another note, are you actually capable of reading subtitles unlike most deaf, who are functionally illiterate? Or did you watch the premier with an interpreter?
It explores part of the lore of The Witcher that hasn't been explored before.
Yeah, you look like a guy who's read the books alright and done a deep dive into the lore. Scratch that, you look like a guy who's read a lot. But scrapping these possibly baseless accusation, the only your words tell me is that Shitflix is pulling shit out of their ass to write terrible fanfiction...which is what they've been doing from the start.
There are monsters like we've never seen before
This would get my attention...if Shitflix's creature effects were actually good enough to bring said monsters to life. But they've never been, so I don't care about this point either.
It has the first kiss between two men in the show.
You fucking alphabets have been stamped and shoehorned into every fucking thing for the past ten years, and yet here you are celebrating every orifice-penetrating scene as if it is the first ever of its kind ever put to screen. And if not that, then it has to become a first. It's obnoxious, it's annoying, and it's not fucking special. Frankly, it wasn't special in the goddamn 90s.
The costumes are divine. The makeup, the hair...bon appetit.
Yeah, you look like someone who really knows how to look pretty. I should also reiterate that historically, The Witcher show's costumes have been UTTERLY HORRID!
There's a deaf sign language-using character.
Oh, wow, look at this. A show about a bunch of silly, backward, Medieval bumpkins who speak in ASL. Just more of that "mUh RePr3sEnTaShUn" that's put into the series without any actual thought in how it fits into the world.
It's a show that was made with so much love.
Your buddy, DeMayo, already confirmed this is bullshit. We know you none of you love The Witcher and only have contempt for the franchise. The only love you have is in pushing the Party's propaganda.
I noticed not a single one of them said anything about the story being good. But then again, when you hype something up, it's better to show the audience how cool it is with trailers and previews, rather than just have people say it's cool.
The series is from the Before Time and not written by a native English speaker so you can go in with the assumption that he's writing a story that happens to have women in it and not a Woman Story.
Eh, it has powerful female sorceresses and the very, very, very occasional warrior, but they are never portrayed in an idyllic light and are just as flawed as anyone else in the series, running the gamut between good-hearted but prone to moral ambiguity to completely hateful scum and everything in between. Even Ciri takes a turn to the dark side for a while and suffers a lot of crushing defeats along the way.
All they had to do was make the show be like Hercules and Xena and focus it on Geralt and Dandelion's adventures in legally distinct Poland. You combine that basic formula with a star who is even better looking and way more jacked than Kevin Sorbo was 25 years ago, a budget, and modern production values, and you can't possibly fail.
Funny.. The Witcher was the only semi-decent, and i use that word generously, live action show made. The Witcher spawned dozens if not hundreds of very shitty remakes, reboots and live action adaptations of anime and video games.
Seems to me.. henry cavil was the only person that kept the show some what true to the lore. Once he got fired, seems all those gay ass faggots and whores turn the dial to max right away. Sorry for using deratory words a bit these days, but they deserve it.
There are three ways to attract an audience: Sell the story, sell the characters, or sell the effects. Of the three, if successful, the first makes a timeless classic, the next makes a franchise, and the final makes a quickly-forgotten flash-in-the-pan the moment technology improves, or even sooner.
This is basic 101-level film stuff. Anyone in their industry should know it. And yet they always seem to choose the third option, selling spectacle. A jaded person might say it is because the writers cannot write, the directors cannot direct, and the producers cannot produce anything of value. And that jaded person would be right.
Lmao are they kidding?
This appeals to no fan of the books or the games.
It solely appeals to the woke.

After two completely dull wahman! drama seasons with small inserts of the only thing the fandom would enjoy (Geralt and Dandelion) it was completely obvious the show was never going to be more than a CW series.
Are you surprised?
Nope, Netflix is now known for destroying intellectual properties and shitting on source material.
Only thing that surprises me is they atleast used to market these shows better.
Now their marketing is as woke as the actual content.
And they had Cavill who is a huge fan of the books. I'm sure when they say he was difficult or rude to the female writers he probably pushed back against how they wanted to inject their own agenda into the show.

So they admitted to having an agenda, having one that is completely horny, and they tanked their working relationship with him because he wouldn't let them try him/the character like a piece of meat.
So they wanted him to appeal to the female gaze? They would screech if a male wanted more shirtless women

Michelle Yeoh's the older actress in this scene.
But she's also in STD so her recent casting choices are dogshit.
Champing!
This has made me plan to go to my local bookstore in the next few weeks to get the books. If not there I’ll order online.
The books are pretty good but there is some proto-woke in them in my opinion. If you can overlook that they’re enjoyable and uniquely written.
They are oldish and Polish, so its probably less woke and actually just organic parts of the story.
Or inserted during translation, that happens a lot more than it should.
thanks for the heads up
Mostly just girl power stuff. It’s not super prevalent but it is pretty jarring at times.

Wait did they get an actual dwarf to play a dwarf? Unironically nice. The rest sounds like woke pandering tho.
I too like a good freak show.
"Give us a reason to watch."
"Pass, next question?"

It makes more sense when you realize that the people who work at Netfolx's writing staph likely couldn't hack it in Pedowood.
Its for fags and you don’t get it , incels.
I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly popped out when the "Lark" was introduced. Immediate shutoff.
