THE WITCHER: Jaskier (Joey Batey) on slavic humor, Sapkowski and... puppies

[@magiv4205]

"He is not a womanizer. He just falls in love with everyone. He is like a puppy dog." And that is exactly why we love him. This man gets it.

[@AriosQarsute]

literally how I read Jaskier in the books. He'll find a reason to give his whole being to any girl, but only for a week or so.

[@melochin8237]

Actually Jaskier's main point of existence is "womanizing" whatever moves. He's kinda like a rockstar

[@SleepwaIker]

I always imagined this aspect of Jaskier personality close to Hank Moody from 'Californication' series. Creative and romantic person, who honestly fall in love to every women he sleep with. So, for me Joey Batey is perfect Jaskier.

[@johnkononovitz295]

The Witcher- Joor is coming. based on Szkolna 17 Universum

[@toomuch9762]

He is the most annoying character in the show. If he wasn’t in the first season no one would care

[@Panzer_ze_tank]

This poor bastard is not getting the credit he deserves. He did well and I wish his role gets fleshed out and become the best and most loyal supporting character that he is.

[@SlayerSeraph]

Damn straight! Frankly wish every (or almost all) episode would be from Geralt and Jaskier's perspective. Full episodes covering their adventures. The Edge of the World best scenes were those too, but the parts themselves were too short and infrequent, felt so hurried and skipped upon. I'd love to just see this couple's adventures, banter and action together. (personally, I don't mind seeing Ciri parts here and there, but I prefer to stick to Geralt mostly, I don't really think Yen needs her own perspective, it's better to view from the outside, and that whole background/origin story took WAY too long and really stole screentime from the other more interesting adventures. Ep 5 for instance had her, but it was from Geralt and Jaskier point of view entirely, which is a good approach.

[@wolfferoni]

Like a puppy dog, as he says. I don't find him annoying but maybe that's just me. He's meant to be annoying to Geralt but that's because Geralt likes being alone and quiet

Nah, he's just a comic relief character bringing mordern jokes and a pop song into a fantasy show. He just ruins the whole thing, might as well have Geralt walking into McDonalds for a quick bite, it's just ridiculous. If the character was any more slapstick, threy could have cast Jack Black in the role.

And her character arc is properly fucked. In the books her whole appeal comes from being a cold hearted bitch and slowly warming up thanks to ciri, who she "adopts" as her daughter.

I've never read the books, I've only ever played the Witcher 3 but the way Joey plays Jaskier is exactly the way I imagined he would be. People might fault my judgement because I haven't read the books but my interpretation of who he is, is someone that is witty, very heavily bordering on annoying and occasionally crossing the line. He's a mischievous bard who chases women and tries to make as much money out of people as possible. If this isn't how he's meant to be portrayed, I don't know how he's meant to be.

I agree. I think in the books Jaskier was sort of that famous artist that wasn't above taking advantage of his fan girls. It was probably seen as OK in 1990s but it would simply not work in 2019, not post-MeToo.

[@pawemarsza9515]

A co to ma do rzeczy? Mówimy o tym kontretnym serialu, i póki co to robi 2 kroki do przodu i 5 do tyłu, a szkoda. Jest cała masa mniejszych i większych problemów zarówno ze scnariuszem i rozwojem postaci, jak i ekspozycją/działaniem świata. Problemów, których naprawdę łatwo dałoby się uniknąć. np. twórcy potrafili całkiem ciekawie prowadzić Yennefer w odcinku ze smokiem tylko po to, zeby pod koniec sama sobie zaprzeczyła (dialogi sugerują, że chce dziecka po to aby być dla kogoś ważna, po czym gdy Geralt mówi jej że jest dla niego ważna, to ona i tak chce dziecka), po czym zmienia się z czarodziejki w #2 szermierza Północy (zabija kilku doświadczonych wojowników wręcz, nie rzucając przy okazji ani jednego zaklęcia). Więc takie teksty jak wyżej to tani, nic nie wnoszący wytrych, aby wywinąć się z potrzeby uzasadnienia swojego zdania

[@kyre4189]

@@pawemarsza9515 Prawda, ale nie ma tu co obwiniać pana Joeya, który postać zagrał perfekcyjnie z materiału który dostał (bo zgaduję, że dużo do powiedzenia nie miał w tej kwestii).

[@GnomeKr]

@@pawemarsza9515 Netflixowy Wiedźmin zbiera mieszane opinie i często ludzie gnoją ten serial tylko przez to że Geralt ma medalion z wyrytym wilkiem na nim a nie taki który jest głową wilka (choć częściej o tym słyszałem przed premierą) albo przez średnio wykonane efekty specjalne czy też czasami widziałem że ludziom nie pasuję tak jak mówiłeś rozwój postaci. Ale szczerze wolę takiego Wiedźmina gdzie jest mnóstwo mniejszych niedociągnięć które można usunąć bardzo łatwo w drugim sezonie czy też można je zignorować niż ten pomiot belzebuba wyprodukowany przez naszych rodaków w 2001 roku gdzie jak go oglądałem to zastanawiałem się co reżyser jadł przed pisaniem scenariusza bo chyba go pisał w pośpiechu do kibla, ironicznie w obydwu serialach Jaskier jest najlepiej napisaną postacią. Jako że mamy 21 wiek i jesteśmy cywilizowanym gatunkiem (przynajmniej w większości) to każdy ma prawo do swojej opinii i według mnie Netflix odwalił tu robotę tak dobrą jak ten malarz w zadaniu "Portrecista" w Teussaint i uargumentuje to tym że nie ma jak na razie lepszego odpowiednika telewizyjnego Wiedźmina. Powodem czemu w tedy zacytowałem Pana Joeya był taki że ludzie oczekują od tego serialu nie wiadomo czego, oczekują czegoś tak dobrego jak trzeci Wiedźmin czy jakości produkcji równej Stranger Things i to jest problemem, ludzie mają tak duże oczekiwania od tego serialu przez hype jaki narósł w okół gier że od razu po publikacji tego serialu wytykają mu mnóstwo błędów i średnią jakość. Nie ukrywam jestem optymistą w wielu sprawach i w tym przypadku również, mam szczerą nadzieję że ten serial wyjdzie na prostą a nie skończy jako mem w internecie podobnie jak Polski Wiedźmin. No, to mam nadzieje że trochę sprawę z moim komentarzem rozjaśniłem.

[@marcingounski299]

@@GnomeKr Nie zgodzę się z Twoją opinią w kilku aspektach. 1. Zmienianie postaci, względem opisu. Jak np Triss, powinna być podlotkiem kilkunastoletnim do 30 paru lat, złocistych, kasztanowych włosach. Ruda też by jeszcze przeszła. Dali czarnowłosą mulatkę... Drugi przykład Borch Trzy Kawki, który był postacią w sile wieku, nie taką starą jak zrobili. I w wypadku tej postaci, polski aktor o wiele lepiej wypada w pełnym rozrachunku (także gry aktorskiej). Jak wspomniałem o nim, wspomnę też o zarikańskich ostrzach, które był zakrzywione, a w serialu proste... 2. W niektóre rolę nie powinno się wciskać na siłę czarnych, nie pasują opisu postaci, a jest to głupia poprawność polityczna. 3. Do Jaskiera mam mieszane uczucia, gdyż koleś zagrał, dobrze to co dostał, ale widać że scenarzyści wyciągnęli głównie cechę wkurza wiedźmina, i na tym skupili jego postać. Plus brak jego słynnego kapelusza z piórkiem... 4. Sceny walki wiedźmina w książce zawsze jest opisany jako tańczy, tnie, precyzyjnie, dokładnie, nie tak jak w netfliie robi że rąbie, przebijając, odcinając ręki i głowy (przy tych atakach bardziej podcięcie gardła, niż obcięcie głowy powinno być). Już w Polskiej wersji lepiej to wyglądało. 5. Efekty też nie są jakieś super (choćby wykonanie smoka) ale na pewno lepsze niż w naszym. Gdyby u nas zapłacili więcej za afekty, też by o wiele lepiej to wyglądało ;) 6. Zmiany historia, jak całą historia z smokiem, gdzie szewczyk który zatruwa owce? gdzie wóz na którym jechali? Gdzie atak błędnego rycerza na smoka ? Bitwa o Soden,. masakra. W opisie były wzgórza z których na siebie ciskali zaklęciami. A tutaj jakieś coś co nie można opisać tak wielką postacią. A postać Vilgefortz będąca głównym antagonistą, jedynie co robiła to wyczarowywała miecze ... Nie twierdzę że to jest zły serial, na razie uważam za średni i czekam jak się rozwinie. Mam nadzieję że poprawią część rzeczy (zwiększą m.in. budżet). Ale są aspekty które lepiej zrealizowali w Polskim ( w sumie aktorzy byli dobrze dobrani, ale tyle im płacono że nie dziwota że nie chciało im się grać, tak samo mieliśmy w tamtym okresie jednych z najlepszych speców od efektów specjalnych, ale gdyby im chcieli sensownie płacić) a niektóre lepiej w Netflxowym. Stąd jest to że wielu ludziom się nie podoba on. Wiadomo nic nie jest doskonałe, ale można usprawnić :D

[@monikapatek3189]

Zgadzam się z Panem Joey'em Batey co do kwestii humoru.Uważam ,że właśnie Geralt przedstawiał ten cyniczny i satyryczny słowiański humor,a Jaskier był właśnie takim irytującym przyjacielem o takich brytyjskich cechach tego humoru xD. Pan Batey ma u mnie plusika za jak ogromną wiedze posiada na temat nie tylko swojego bohatera ale i całego uniwersum dzięki czemu naprawdę świetnie zagrał Jaskra i wczuł sie w klimat całej produkcji i też mam lekkie uczucie,że jego wiedza i postrzeganie całego świata,który stworzył Sapkowski jest nawet troszczeczkę większa i dokładniejsza niż pani prowadzącej ale i tak pomimo tego bardzo dobry i profesjonalny wywiad

[@mariamaryann8198]

[@GrogAdHoc]

Nie jestem tego taki pewien, choć dawno sagę i opowiadania czytałem i mylić się mogę. Z książek nie postrzegałem Jaskra jako irytującego gaduły, który doczepił się do Geralta, bardziej jak dobrego kompana, który owszem gadał dużo, ale nie wydawał się irytującym. Jak to ktoś wcześniej poruszył, relacja dwojga bohaterów polega na kontraście co jest nie słowiańskim, nie brytyjskim, a światowym, uniwersalnym schematem. Swoją drogą brytyjski gaduła? Chyba tylko jak wypiję, ale to samo można powiedzieć o Polakach ;) No i cynik to czysto brytyjska łatka! Ech czasy się zmieniają i stare przywary, które naklejano na narodowości przez zwykłą zazdrość i niechęć mieszają się i zamazują granice, dobry to trend i śmieszny. Za to tłumaczenie, że nie jest kobieciarzem, a po prostu zakochuje się w każdej jest dokładnie takim jakiego pamiętam, bardzo dobrze, że to poruszył bo wypaczyłoby to postać.
