[@lunag7948]

That's actually one of the lines I'm the most mad about... Don't get me wrong, Jaskier had some great moments in this season but the moment he reunited with Geralt he went back to being the character that's only here to make the audience laugh. Like, Jaskier has a brain you know. I'm pretty sure even him wouldn't be insensitive enough to talk to a stranger about family just after half of his actual family was massacred, that was just unnecessary comical relief

[@WaxierWarrior]

Season 2 showed that, honestly Geralt and Yennefer didn’t realise or pay attention to how they treated Jaskier. Yennefer traumatised him because of how she tried to trap a genie for her womb, and then tried to seduce him after he was traumatised. Geralt has always treated Jaskier like a thorn in his side and did not once try to reciprocate any of the friendship. If Jaskier wasnt a happy-go-lucky smarmy bard, he would have every right to tell them both to fuck off forever.

[@WildSpiritsCoaching]

This is one of the few things I dislike in the show; in the books, they really are friends and Geralt has no trouble admitting it.

@@WildSpiritsCoaching yeees, the polish show also leans towards that angle for what I've seen. Really, netflix didn't need to make him act like that towards him all the time to make him seem "more mysterious and manly"

[@harmony9690]

He's very articulate with his insults isn't he 😂

[@madeniquevanwyk]

Was sad to see that he's still treated like comic relief this season when my boy was the most mistreated character of them all 😭😭 like Ciri ignored him, the other witchers and Vesemir didn't speak to him/saw him as a nuisance and the whole "take this rock to Geralt" thing in the last ep felt like it was just to place him in the battle and make him scurry away from debris and human remains in a really weird attempt to alleviate the gravity of the situation?? Like they didn't even do the comic relief right. Like he singlehandedly helped the world see witchers differently and probably made their interactions with people a bit better, a mention of that from the others would have been nice. But no, eternally undervalued is his most consistent trait I guess. Jaskier is a well-liked part of the series (the only reason I really watch it, and I'm not alone) and there's so many reasons for him to get along with Ciri and the rest, that it just broke my heart that they gave us absolutely nothing

[@sarroumarbeu6810]

@@Amynity i get what you're saying, and I can honestly make that argument for Geralt and Ciri too. She irritated me SO MUCH the first season 🤦 but that's why we analyse them as characters in the story and not as real life people. And in the story Jask is supposed to be Geralt's friend

[@namelessbard2124]

@@katiewright3309 literally same! I’d only heard about The Witcher as this new famous show on Netflix people were talking about and I couldn’t care less about it.

And then immediately after I finished watching that video, I was rushing to Netflix to start watching the show because I fell in love with him and wanted to see more of him. I have Jaskier and Joey Batey to really thank for that because through them I also found some of my most favourite songs and I also started playing The Witcher 3 which ended up as my most favourite game as of now.
