[@zielonypatointelektualista6949]

sorry but some bullshit women could become witchers BUT men were simply better, they had a better chance of surviving, probably only every 1/3 passed the grass test because in the books they considered making ciri a witcher, the surprise child rule meant that she had a 100% chance of surviving, such a plot armor, but they decided not to do it because one of the reasons would most likely be that she would lose her breasts as a result of smoking the whole thing fat in the body

It should be evident that these showrunners took Cavill for granted and are paying for it. I can’t fathom ignoring someone who wanted a series to be accurate as possible to the lore? Did these clowns ever watch the Jackson LOTRS movies? Yeah they had changes but they were good and adapted the vital things. Seriously, Netflix and Hisrich didn’t deserve Cavill. I hope Warhammer goes well for him.

[@EndymionTv]

I hope Warhammer goes very well...BUT it is being done as of now anyway at Amazon. Which is a weird company cause they can make no nonsense good content like The Terminal List but they also made Rings of Power. So it’s...well I guess we’ll see

[@BlahBohogun]

Cavil is a huge 40k nerd so that speaks volume to what the potential good quality it might be.

[@sargeantschnutz5767]

@@EndymionTv Not only that, they have Invincible and The Boys, which are incredibly good, then they also have Wheel of Time. To me, it seems that Amazon makes either 10/10s or 1/10s, and not really anywhere in between. Thing is, the content that has done well was headed by people who actually care, and the content that has been bad is headed by people who don't seem to care about the source material. Doesn't seem like Amazon puts their hands into it if the person making it is confident in the material they're working with. With Henry Cavill at the helm, this seems more likely to be a 10/10

Same here but I’m an American with immigrant parents. It sucks that the main things Hollywood focuses on now is diversity, race, gender, and sexual orientations for most movies and shows nowadays. When a white fictional character gets race swapped and gets other major changes, it’s for the better good of representation. But do that to any other character, it’s racism and disrespectful.

We live in an era where most writers don't know what the word adaptation means anymore. They're literally fanfic writers who do whatever they want with the source material and then get offended when you don't like it. It's truly impressive.

[@conormcguire4306]

That implies they are fans at all.

[@BrightWulph]

That's a bit of an insult to fanfic writers. 😅 Now there's a lot of bad fanfics out there, but I have read some very good ones that are well thought out and respectful of the source material while having its own unique spin. But I do mostly agree, the morons who are making "adaptations" like the Netflix Witcher series, are the worst kind of writers. They just hijack a pre-exsiating story and turn it into their own "work", because they are creatively bankrupt and don't want to put in the effort to make a franchise or a fanbase from scratch.

[@BananLord]

Fanfics get the pass because they're written and published for free by regular people, from the inexperienced to the talented ones. But this sh*t is far worse than the worst fanfics I've read. At least those had some sort of inside rules even when in alternate universes, has a stupid plot or bad writing, and manage to stay in character.

[@Sorain1]

It's because those people care for the material and want to make a great work with it. The ones at the companies don't even want to make money anymore. (Which would get them to try and do well by the material and work with it, out of self interest.)

[@nathanroyster1324]

It's actually all kinda depressing. Production companies have the money, infrastructure, and technology to bring some of the greatest books, comics and games to life. We could be getting some of the best TV shows and movies ever created and yet we get garbage like this, the rings of power, and modern marvel/DC. Truly it boggles my mind.

[@frostreaper1607]

My thoughts exactly, you know the worse part? These people are doing it on purpose, they want the hate, the vitriol, the articles complaining, and they completely disregard that all of that clout is temporarily, a fart in the wind. They are narcs who want to be the center point of drama instead of making a work of art. In 10 years time nobody will remember them but people will still be watching LoTR front to back, have marathons watching all 3 movies and talk about the books ecetra.

[@paulie-g]

That's the point. The writers, the showrunner and so on only need to appeal to the out of touch in-crowd. The shows can bomb as far as they're concerned provided they've hit the political message beats, because that guarantees they'll be hired again and again by those like them. The viewers, meaning us, can all go collectively f- themselves, because it's not as if we have an alternative - every other network/production/etc are doing the same sh-. It's like trying to buy a phone that's not built in a factory where people try to kill themselves out of desperation - there isn't one available to buy. But wait, there's more - there are new ratings models that include social media mentions, so every time we trash the show here or on twitter, it's being interpreted as being 'more in demand'. So, guess what, the execs at Netflix will be told the show is an unmitigated success even as viewership drops.

The world of The Witcher is a rich source for many episodes, seasons, movies.

I find it funny in a kind of way, that ever since Cavill was cast as Superman, he has seemed to internalize his optimistic outlook on life and generally gentlemanly attitude. Whatever he might be like in person, he certainly brings a level of class, both in manners, in appearance, and it would appear in vocabulary as well into everyday Hollywood gossip that has been a sorely missing part of the industry for the past 2-3 decades. Right bow the guy appears like a sort of beacon of normalcy in the ever more degenerate entertainment media world.

This really hurts. When I was a little Slavic girl, I completely fell in love with the games and books as they finally gave me something that almost screamed 'SLAVIC.' There were so many relatable things in them. I was excited when I heard about the adaptation and Henry Cavill playing the Witcher, but now it just breaks my heart. I am getting a bit political here - but I feel like in the USA, the only culture that is respected and propagated is their own, and maybe Black culture (this is what it looks like to me as an outsider, so I may be wrong). It feels wrong when looking at Cleopatra or other "historical" films, series, and documents where Netflix and other companies disrespect historical facts, cultures, and traditions... Maybe in the future, there will be some kind of adaptation that is more truthful to the source material.

"Go broke, get woke, ultimately croak!" These are words from another KZbinr I follow. Any company that placates to the ESG is doomed to die through the poison they ingest. Netflix is no exception. Let the parasites in, don't act surprised when they eat you from within. Then again, given what a Netflix rep said to Kevin about the then 250 million or so subscribers Netflix had about Masters of the Universe: Revelations, they seem to believe that every subscriber watches everything on Netflix instead of the same things over and over again. "Let them die" as Kirk once said. They don't care about the quality, only The Message, and that message is being heard by less and less people.

I've never watched the Netflix series, only read the books and played the games. The best thing they could have done was adapt the first two books which contain only short stories and leave it at that. Then again, it's Netflix, and I don't give that company any money after their whole Cuties thing. As much as I loved the series, it seriously starts to drag on at times. The best parts are when Geralt and his crew are the focus of the story. Not Yen, not Ciri, not Jarre, not the tower keeper and the fisherman. Actually, towards the end, it wasn't even Geralt that kept the story going, but rather Milva, Cahir, Regis, and Angouleme. And then the books just end unceremoniously with Geralt and Yen's bodies being carried off by a magical unicorn who appeared out of nowhere.

[@miramichi30]

Did you watch cuties? It wasn't that bad. It portrayed the sexualization of children in order to condemn it. People act like it's a movie that was made for pedophiles, but that's not the case at all.

In some ways I actually feel bad for Liam Hemsworth (who's taking over playing Geralt) because not only does he have to follow the class act that's Cavill, but he's taking the lead role in a show that's spiraling and he'll likely receive some blame for it, even though I doubt he has any say in the script or characterization.

[@Me_Caveman]

They're making the wrong product for the wrong audience. You don't sell Barbies to men for a reason.

[@Hosigie]

That ending gave me chills. Good job on making our views on this clear. As far as I've seen from the fandom, we're pretty much a united front. This is the last season we'll watch, and after that the show is over for us. I actually liked the first season, but the second one was really hard to get through. Blood Origin was down right shit. I don't have high expectations of the season 3, but I'll watch it as a goodbye to Henry, and after that I'm done. Henry was the reason the fans stayed with the show. Without him, I'm just going back to the novels and the games.

[@DARTHTAKRA]

Fans: this doesn't match the source material Cavill: here's how you can match the source material and make it better Producers: nah well do it out way Show fails Producers: these fans suck

[@splash13261]

As someone who has read the books and played the games when I heard Netflix was going to produce the Witcher I was thrilled believing I was going to see what I'd so far experienced come to life on TV. According to what was said by the showrunner the TV show was going to follow the source material. The first season started out great until Mousesack was killed , that was the first red flag , the next came with Fringilla Vigo who is Anna Henrietta's cousin (so how's that supposed to work) and the story line with Triss . Season two took the story even further astray with killing off Eskel and Ciri being possessed , killing off witchers with Yennifer set on betraying Ciri .This was not what I was expecting. The writers had one job witch was to recreate the books not write their own so I wasn't surprised when Cavill left. I'll probably look at season 3 but it won't be for the enjoyment of seeing the stories come to life but to see how much more the writers can screw it up.

[@evelynart]

I think you hit it on the head with “if you treat what people love with respect, the work will speak for itself,” the whole point of creating these shows is to capitalize off of an existing fan base, so why would pleasing & respecting that fan base not be #1 priority? If you’re going to argue that it’s art and therefore you should have free reign, make up your own story…

[@Sorain1]

Dead on. If you want to do whatever, go and do it! I'll take it on it's own strengths and weaknesses. But if you are doing anything to make money from an existing audience, THAT is your target market. You make a product for a specific market, or you can't compete in any market. But of course, these 'creatives' don't care about money. They care about abusing something others care about while insulting and condescending to those same people.

[@kartikaytiwari7387]

I actually feel bad for D&D brothers as they had no source material to rely on so everything was ruined but Netflix has so much content yet they are running everything. I sometimes think what would witcher series look like if it was made by HBO instead.

[@NotDeadYetJim]

Yep, when the Witcher is on screen in “The Witcher” show, it was worth watching

[@cuff2860]

This is actually the first I’ve heard of Henry’s new movie. Thanks, Endymion. I’ll be on the lookout for it next year. As for them adapting a show, Theresa simple rule: ADD, NEVER SUBTRACT. If a scene could be milked a bit more, sure, add on to it. If a character could get another scene to further add this his/ her motivations, sure. Go for it. But NEVER take away from a property.

[@fluppet2350]

They really thought that not taking Cavil, the most famous super fan of the series and biggest chad in the world would not seriously impede their work.

[@kingscourt9559]

Honestly when the show was first announced I was hyped, then I saw the cast and mother fucking TRISS MARIGOLD was black. The race swap made no sense so I put off watching it for like a year or two. I feel so sorry for Henry, he jumped at the chance to play Geralt because he’s such a big fan of the series and wanted to make it as true to the original as possible. Then got booted, it’s not fair to him or the rest of the fan base.

[@jackvoss1527]

These days, if I were an author I would think long and hard before selling the rights to my work knowing that these people don't respect it and often think it's trash. They are just looking for a ready-made fan base and think they can offer whatever and as long as it has the name on it the fans should just accept it.

[@paulie-g]

Sapkowski has been very clear that he doesn't care very much. He doesn't consider anything except his books canon, and is very much enjoying the checks and not sweating the details.

[@avalon5957]

One day, when Netflix's failed monstrosity is dead and buried, one can only hope that Henry Cavill will make his own adaptations as a director, either as a movie series or tv series. I'm sure he would actually do a great job of directing any Witcher material with his knowledge of both the books and the games.

[@dwelfusius]

I'd watch that

[@apolloisnotashirt]

When I first saw the show, I was but a naive content starved child. I really wanted more of it but when Season 2 came, me and my sister thought the same thing, " wtf just happened?". I'm just gonna see if I can buy the book and read it, obviously starting on The Last Wish.

[@schoolgalarza]

Always impressed with how well spoken your opinions are. Couldn’t agree more.

[@HallowedKhaos91]

I genuinely believe that The Witcher could have been the greatest show of all time. If they had given the writing duties to people as passionate about the world and lore as Cavill it would have been unmatched.

lets make a tv series on a popular movie/book and just use its name to bring in the fans but lets make it different so we dont alienate possible new fans. this is their forward thinking. when like you said if you appeal to the main fan base, no matter what if done right you will always bring new people into . its a win win verse a lose lose.

[@dietdrnope9925]

To be fair, I'm rereading the books right now, and there's nothing saying women couldn't survive the TotG. They had never tried to make a female witcher -until Ciri-, and Triss made them stop feeding her mutagen formulas because they would stop her from developing breasts and a female figure. Otherwise, spot on assessment

[@wheatknight124]

I personally don't think it's fair to say the Mandalorian has gone bad cause they focused on Bo Katan. They stated basically from the start that Mandalore was more or less ruined and they needed a new home, Mando found out the truth that it wasn't, so obviously everyone wants to return to the home of their people, but they would need a proper leader so they took the time to put Bo Katan into power so we can get back to Mando and Grogu adventuring the galaxy. I do agree it felt like they got a bit sidelined, but it was just for story telling purposes rather than just girlbossing as far as I saw.

I didn't really care much about the witcher but it is disappointing how the directors are pushing politics at the expense of lore and am looking forward to ministry of ungentlemanly warfare. Isn't escapism the reason for the witcher existing and pushing politics in people faces defeats the purpose of escapism

It is only known that like Warner and DC, Netflix did not learn that: *if you screw Henry Canvill, screw yourself* , simple, he has not done anything wrong, he did nothing, you simply screwed him up and that they suffer their burden for having underestimated him.

[@taejasper1343]

This is just the beginning, but it should be a lesson to Hollywood and woke modern creators out there, treat the source material and your fans with respect, and don't give the finger and say that you're done with them, because when they'll leave you right when you need them the most to watch your property, just like Henry Cavill did! You get what deserve, Witcher Netflix writers, you've done this to yourselves and you can't blame us for that!

[@mozsaic3113]

I remember when the first teaser for the Witcher season 1 was shown and there was the controversy of the casting and how Geralt looked in general. The cast and crew's cry was: "We're adapting the books, not the video games!" Looks like that argument is no longer usable.

Ah yes "blame the fans for their failure" typical attitude of most woke showrunners and writers.

[@sgray001]

How to market a popular franchise: Step 1- Acquire the rights to an established franchise with a loyal fanbase. Step 2- Hire showrunners who have no knowledge of the franchise, or who actively hate it. Step 3- Hire writers who have no interest in telling the story _of_ the franchise and/or who have a completely unrelated/incompatible story _they_ want to tell. Step 4- Pre-emptively attack the loyal fanbase, because even though you paid through the nose for a franchise that had a loyal fanbase, you don't want _those_ kind of fans. Step 5- Blame the fanbase, that you pre-emptively attacked, for the inevitable failure of your insane strategy. Step 6- Promote showrunners to an even higher position because it wasn't _their_ fault and it would look bad for you to fire someone who ticked all the right boxes, which is the only reason you hired zir in the first place.
