The Witcher Is DOOMED

Netflix's The Witcher is a total DISASTER and The showrunner is in full panic mode with a side of spin cycle.
Turns out it became a 'Netflix Adaption' after all.

The fact that Cavil corrects the interviewer and spells it out 'They're not being toxic, they're being passionate about the material' really speaks volumes about his character. He basically called out the narrative that interviewer ( regardless of if they meant to or not ) supported about 'Fans being toxic jerks.' My respect for Cavil keeps growing.

[@FFKfanTV]

Word. Just look at the effort he puts down in the gym. He was asked once why he didn't just ask for a suit that had mussels in the fabric. His response was that getting such role's came with responsibility and respect towards the fans and the comics etc.

I felt relieved that Henry Cavill left, He was carrying the show. Imagine admiring the books and the games and basically auditioning for a role since you love it so much, only to know that the thing that you love the most isn't actually sticking to the source material. I actually liked the first season even with slight changes but the second one was a lot harder to take even with Henry in it. With that subpar script, Henry can't save and carry it alone.

Mate, season 1 was already very shit. Cast sucked, bad script, costumes tacky, horrible pacing.

[@mariow7818]

Yeah... Cirilla, Geralt and Yen are three main characters.. and damn they shoved in Fringilla as the main one and the rest put on back as side characters in season 2. If Fringilla at least was written right. Played by right actress and otherwise stuck to source material.. I could have took that pill and even enjoy it but what the hell they did to source material? To our heroes? To witchers? To lore? To Fringilla? Damn.. I got constant WTF expression when I watched it. It was damn chore I never will try to do again. First season was closest to original even when there were some bad moments. Toss a "coint to your witcher" was a catchy song.

He's an excellent actor who deserves so much better than he's been given. Hopefully, James Gunn will give Henry the opportunity to star in a great Superman movie and he'll finally be able to become our generation's Christopher Reeves. Or, if not, at least let him be James Bond, like he almost was instead of Daniel Craig. Preferably both; he's earned it.

Wasn't one of the writers of Netflix's Cowboy Bebop an executive's daughter? Or maybe she was working on another Netflix show. I have vague memories of her being your usual SJW millennial, with pink hair and rainbow clothes, all upset on twatter tirades against toxic istaphobe fans criticizing her show. I think it was Tom Konkle in a Midnight's Edge interview, who said that as a director who wants to stay independent, Netflix was one of the platforms that in a past allowed him to distribute his movies. But around the time of the pandemic, when he presented a project to Netflix, they would get enthusiastic and tell him they agree to finance it. He just needed to employ one of Netflix people in key positions. Tom had several back and forth, explaining to them the movie was already ready, everybody had their job, why would he need to hire an outsider? Blablabla... In conclusion, Tom made it clear that Netflix was starting to refuse producing any project if the creator did not put someone from Netflix in their production team. Tom also was hinting at other platforms than Netflix doing the same. Don't be naive. Activists who end up in big woke productions don't pop out of nowhere. Learn your lesson. They are placed with fake backgrounds, to make them appear like Joe Blows, but they are the kids and by-blows of certain very privileged people who like nothing better than nepotism.

Henry Cavill hit the nail on the head about the fandoms. All the fans really want is for the producers and writers to stick to the lore and storyline as well as capture the essence of the character they’re handling. Many of these companies have done the opposite and even mocked the fans and the story. That’s where the problems come in.

[@chaos.corner]

The problem, as ever, comes from the top. The media companies buy these properties as something to be exploited for profit. Now, that's only to be expected but unless corrected, that attitude permeates down. If you're lucky, you get talented people who respect the source material but if not, you have opportunists looking to push their own agenda who just look at the original property as a label to be slapped on what they produce to pull in a ready-made audience. That can't and doesn't last.

[@ComposedSage75]

@@chaos.corner another issue is the fact that the ones hired to fulfill these roles refuse (or are incentivized) to put their own politics into the roles they’re given and expect others to just be okay with that. They don’t care what the fans think and neither do the companies that influence it. They just see it as another property to destroy for the sake of THE MESSAGE.

[@postpunk6947]

As a Pole who grew up on books about the witcher, I must admit that I am glad that it happened. Despite everything, the work of Andrzej Sapkowski has been promoted in the world, as it deserves. If someone in the 90s had told me that the whole world would know Geralt of Rivia, I probably wouldn't have believed it. These books were incredibly progressive and very forward looking, but not in the modern sense. Dark fantasy dealing with heavy topics, rape, war, feminism, loss of innocence, political intrigue. A few good years before A Song of Ice and Fire, in small, gray and bleak Poland, which was just breaking the shackles of communism, something great was born. Nothing will take away the youth I spent with these books.

Sounds interesting... Feminism aside. I could have tolerated it 30 years ago. But now that I know the excesses it leads to, and the ideology it comes from (feminism being deeply rooted in political lesbianism as the writing from Simone de Beauvoir and Andrea Dworkin and other mysandrist show), I realize we should have been much more circumspect of feminism even when it was tolerable.

You would think that after losing MILLIONS of dollars because of their race pimping identity politics being forced down everyone's throats, and even admitting to having to take a different approach to the way they make entertainment, that they would have done some sort of vetting out in the hiring process for writers, producers, ect. They hired people who have never even HEARD of this IP, and had little to no writing credentials to their name ffs.

That's no longer a requirement. Having knowledge, or respect even.

However, it was put through the Hollywood ringer and came out as a poor imitation of the source material.

However, the creators of Dredd respected the source material, even consulting its co-creator John Wagner, and it was loved by fans and non-fans alike.

Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt and Joey Batey's portrayal of Jaskier (Dandelion) was the only reason I watched the show. Their male friendship of platonic chemistry was a dynamic duo unlike other franchises, and they both represented a fitting symbiotic relationship as portrayed in the games. Geralt is socially accepted when Jaskier sings about his deeds, especially more so when Jaskier exaggerates it for Geralt's benefit. Jaskier also benefits because Geralt's adventures gives him a purpose in life, like a news reporter chasing a worthwhile event to cover.

And while we waited for them to settle on a new actor for the role, we got _Spartacus: Gods of the Arena_ to tide everyone over until filming of the second season could resume.

It is not the same medium, some changes due to runtime ect. is sadly needed. But it still feels actors, costumes, direction, everything tried to be as faithful as possible.
