Just take old Hercules scripts, find-replace Hercules with Geralt and Iolaus with Dandelion, and film the exact same episodes with the exact same characters + have the hot babes occasionally dump them out.
Now listen here, you little shit, we don't do that anymore. Rehashing old stuff I can accept (as long as it's for Modern Audiences), but hot babes are a non-starter, you fucking Nazi bigot.
And I also don’t understand how you can take a job to adapt something and decide that you know better than the author. I get you can’t adapt something exactly but you gotta adapt the spirit of the source material at least.
I’m just sick of these people crapping on the work of better authors. Yet they don’t just make their own story.
Yeah, I was skeptical because her skin tone made me suspicious that she'd just be a case of Netflix hiring the first passably non-white actress they got their hands on, but her performance was one of the best in the show, really only topped by Cavill.
I'm a strictly meritocratic guy, so I fucking hate Netflix and the practices of the wokerati for having trained me to assume that any slightly non-white person in a production is going to be substandard talent. That's a prejudice they have given me, not one that I had ten years ago - I grew up watching Will Smith for christ's sake.

Well to be fair, while Yennifer in the game is white, in the region (Poland), the actress could definitely pass as a gipsy and they were already there in Bohemia in medial Europe, and many were considered "witches". Obviously the black actors were a bit harder to swallow. Even if there were moorish people there too, they did look more like Arabs than negroes.
But that isn't really the issue so much as the team in charge of the writing who despise or actively mock the source material. It should never happen.
Well when the only good character from a show walks they have to utilize their completely useless writing staff to sink the show even faster
Henry: You guys suck, I quit.
Writers: You can't quit, this show is fired!
All you have to do is make conan space marine sherlock holmes figure out and kill monster of the week? How is it this hard to print money?

My favorite joke about Netflix’s The Witcher: I hope the show does really well so that Geralt can get his own spin-off.

It isn't helped Sapkowski only cares about money so won't bother stopping anyone shitting over the books.
True. Too bad there aren’t more Christopher Tolkiens

Congrats, Netflix. You made me fucking racist.
Racism is pattern recognition, ergo…

It is a fucking travesty that they did not cast Eva Green as Yennifer, she was born for the role.
Brownwashing’s more important I guess 🤷🏼♂️
See also, Triss and Fringilla.
Fuck that show.
I can’t wait for someone to tell Geralt his armour is perfect to which he replies, “it will be, once it fits a woman.”
