Netflix include many scenes and storylines non-existent in the book that are obviously feminist like how male society treats them so bad and women are just objects in one of the speeches the Yennifer makes in the scene when she had to guard the woman about to be assassinated for not bearing a son. There is also the armor design that is wanting.

Imagine if these woke retards discover that the native Tupi-guarini mithology is full of gods that have white skin and white hair, granted that this white skin gods are usually evil ones like Anhangua (although they would probably mistake him for a good one), but imagine this stupid woke folks screaming to the sky because someone decide to make a series about this gods and cast actors properly? Or if they discover that the african based religions like candomblé and umbanda, all these african gods here in Brazil are white like Iemanja?

She claimed this scene was to celebrate "diversity". I have no problem with interracial relations but WTF.

Personally, I really can't understand why they don't portray any location where practically everyone is white, or brown or black, or asian or native american. E.g. In Game of Thrones there were places in Essos where only Dany, Jorah and some minor henchmen of theirs were white. Variation (which equals diversity in real terms) doesn't harm at all.

Accessible magic and science. In GoT magic is hidden and unaccessible: dragons (dragons are magic because their lift/drag ratio sucks), mystic metals - all reserved to kings and so on. So all in all the rules are middle ages with some weirdness. In Witcher magic is so accessible a someone as powerful as Yennefer sees no problem selling magical boner pills to common folk. Magic and science lower the barriers to travel - hence people of obviously different race aren't as uncommon, yet still they seem to be limited. The worst part is really the whole "invasion" of Nilfgaard where a huge fortress is overtaken by .... army of footmen. Tell me, what's the point of a wizard defending a gate with a wall against ... arrows? Gates and stone walls require siege weapons - what's the point of magical barrier against arrows? Except for dumb drama? That's probably the biggest sin in the show - most battle scenes make zero sense.

The characters are very much out of place indeed. Not as much visually, but in the way they behave and their personalities. Especially a combo between a Soviet-era old crone that sells fish on the market - and a pig, yet dressed in armor and occupying the throne. Nothing in common with the descriptions in the book. The games do justice to the characters, even if they are not identical, - yet they are believable and well defined. The very term" diverse cast" is an insult to a production, - meaning that it ignores the absence of talent, and actors are being shoved into the roles based on zero merit, - only to tick the checkbox on some bureaucrat's list. The Denzels of this world will NEVER go into any production, being considered for anything but their amazing acting ability. That's why they will never have anything to do with shows like this. So i'll stick to watching a master actor, like Denzel Washington - and not this shit.

Characters aren't there to be lied necessarily, they are there to create the conflict to drive the drama, or to demonstrate something about the protagonist. Jaskier serves as a comedic foil, without which it would get very dark. Dandelion fails to do that in the books, so they fall into a dreary and depressing mood. I prefer Jaskier too Dandelion. Dandelion can't make up his mind how old he is in the books, coming across as this really wise old man, then turns out he is only 40 and still banging chicks.

I understand it; it's rather hard to paint a whole group of people green on a TV budget and have it look believable. It takes a lot of work and money to get people to look like Gamora does in Guardians of the Galaxy. But they still needed the Dryads to blend in with their forest home, so they took the pragmatic option. I get it. Ideally, we would've seen the Dryads be green-skinned and green-haired, but that would've been too much on a show that also needs to save money for the costumes, CGI, etc.

I agree about most of this. Except that medieval kings, and princes often took enormous personal risks in the thick of battle. Ask blind king John of Bohemia about that. Or the Black Prince or his dad Edward III. Or Francis I of France. Or Richard I or Henry IV or Henry V, or Edward IV, or Robert Bruce, etc. Also, if you look at extant effigies the knights were not that beefy. The Black Prince, who was one of the most warlike men of his age (or any other) was tall but also pretty thin.

@@honkhonk5150 John of Bohemia was blind when he asked his companions to lead him to his last battle. In more recent times gen. Rommel was often up front with his troops. It is not a general rule but it did happen often enough and has an indicated problem of a leader being killed but advantage of him knowing what is going on and leading the troops. The way Crecy went (where John of Bohemia died) shows that having the leaders in front may be a sign of bad leadership just as Rommel in Africa was example on how to do it well. I suspect it all depends on a situation, disposition of the leader, his troops etc. I think this is the reason why this argument does not hold.

It only works when you apply it to populations, and this has been done for all the races of man on earth, so we now have a fairly accurate picture of migration patterns in early human history, and this DNA data coressponds to historical migrations/invasions, in the case of Sciliy's recent history (~100,000 years) Africa, Greek, Goth, Roman, Muslim, Norman, Greek. In fact the data is so accurate you can work from the DNA frequencies alone to work out the patterns of migration if no historical data is present.

@Anthony Roic Geneaology is tracing of family trees or lineages through birth/marriage/death records, and it's entirely legitimate way of tracing your ancestry. However, it isn't as accurate as DNA profiling. As a matter of fact we are all descended from Africa, so to state we have no African DNA is incorrect. It may be true that one family lineage may have a low frquency of a gene that is highly represented in Afican/Middle Eastern populations, but all I am saying in population terms, that is all 5 million inhabitants of Sciliy taken together, on average more than>30% have DNA that links them to close African/Middle Eastern heritage (we are talking in the past 100,000 years by the way - obviouusly this goes way past written records). There is no such thing as the top 20 genes, there are only markers that can be used to predict our likely genetic makeup. The markers can be useful to distinguish local populations or different races. I think the ones you are describing may be markers that distinguish local populations or distinguish Caucasian populations from each other - but I'm guessing here. No disrepect meant.

I am a huge fan of 'The Witcher' book series, and for me, this season was really, say, 'infantile' sometimes. What I mean is, some motifs or scenes, which were really developed and had a great sense in books were made stupid in the show. For example - the scene of Yennefer's transformation, when she becomes infertile. In the books, infertility is the price for magical power, not for beauty! And it's clearly explained in the books. There's a serious theory why magicians are infertile. Sorceresses were transformed into beautiful women merely to look more 'professional'. And in the show, they made it just incredibly 'flat' and stupid and I really don't understand why :/. Of course, I don't really think that they must do it exactly as it was in the books. But if they want to do it their way, I wish it had more sense :/.

This is also why the timelines are so screwy in season one, you would not have seen ciri until the last episode. The first two books are basically just geralt having random unconnected adventures, you get virtually no ciri, and little Yennifer. Great for world building but would not have done well on screen for new fans.

@@dgmetaxa having medieval Polish elements is still pretty fucking far from being set in medieval Poland. It also had a lot of Germanic, Celtic and even Asian influences, so it was a mixed bag. I'd say it resembled mostly medieval Europe, but even the historical periods from which the story drew its influences were mixed - for example, we didn't know shit about genes and genetics until the XIX century, but it's common knowledge in the Witcher's world. So yeah, despite elements of Slavic folklore and Sapkowki's upbringing, it has rather little to do with medieval Poland. Sapkowski deconstructed many European fairy tales in the short stories, most of them weren't even Polish. Too bad that aspect was omitted from the show. Especially the one that was mentioned in the story about the Dragon, because that was a typical Polish legend and Sapkowski basically did a parody of it, but I guess it wouldn't be interesting or funny to people unfamiliar with it, so I'm not surprised about this one. They could've left some of the others, though, especially that the story of Renfri was loosely based on Snow White and the seven dwarfs.

Well, leading troops from the front lines is a double edged sword. At one side it is incredibly dangerous, as the ruler dying is damn close to an instant loss, on the other hand it may grant great morale. Also, Calanthe has the reputation of being a hardened and skilled warrior. Perhaps they should've casted an actual ripped/ buff woman in the role, that would've been more realistic.

I absolutely detest what Netflix has done to the base material, they completely butchered the short stories to get to the saga as fast as possible. Out of the 14 tale-like short stories, which are connected and gradually introduce Geralt, his work, his skill, his character, his backstory, his personal phylosophy and problems, and later Dandelion, Yen and Ciri as side characters, Netflix chose to adapt about 7 of them, poorly, and inflated the rest of the show with Yennefers/Ciris backstories/fanfictions. You could compare Witcher to the Hobbit/LotR. You want to get to the juicy long story of LotR asap, so you trim down the Hobbit to only the most crucial parts: you introduce Gandalf and Bilbo, the ring and Gollum, and rush through the journey in about three episodes. Then you want to set-up the other places and characters important for LotR, so you fill the rest of your season with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Saruman and Frodo-fanfiction. That is exactly what Netflix did with the first season of witcher, a major set-up for the real story of season two. To me, it shows an absolute lack of respect for the book material, and if the writers are not skilled enough to adapt the series without butchering the stories and characters in this way, they should never have been placed in charge of the project. I don't mind the acting, diverse casting decisions, cgi and other stuff, some of it is good, some not so much. But I hate how they carved up the story.

I am watching 1st ep of Season 2 and have to stop midway because I'm so mad how they butchered the short stories and characters almost entirely. S2E1 introduces us to Nivellen, from chapter A grain of truth. Netflix just had to make Niv know all about the north-south war AND the Wild hunts. Then, when Geralt was asked why he came to look after a young girl, Ciri, "what changed" him, he answered "who" - "Yennefer of Vengerberg". And I just became speechless. Netflix just threw the "Child of destiny" out the window and made it a story about child adoption for a rom-com couple. I get that they want to "merge" characters and plots into the main saga plot but holy cow this is all bad and rushed writing. It just destroys Geralt's character entirely and the relationship between him and Ciri. In S1 they alrd made Geralt x Yen a rom-com thing with no chemistry, no bittersweetness nor passion like in the books, just merely LOLs. Damn, even Tissaia is having way more chemistry with Yen than Geralt with her. This may be the only thing I'm liking about the series.

Agreed, and this all comes down to the fact that they are copying the GoT formula. Unlike The Witcher, GoT is written from the perspectives of multiple characters. This is why it worked when the TV show did the same - they could show what Jon Snow, Tyrion, Daenerys etc. were doing in different places and had plenty of source material to do so. However, Sapowski's short stories are solely from Geralt's perspective, so trying to copy GoT and give Yennefer and Ciri comparable screentime and back stories was inevitably going to be a failure due to the lack of source material.

This was the first show in a long time that I actually had to pay attention to while watching. Even then I was about halfway through before I realized there were multiple time periods, and almost to the end before I actually figured them out. All in all, I thought it was pretty good. The fights were well choreographed and I liked the flawed characters that showed growth/redemption. I didn't notice the forced diversity, as I generally assume fantasy settings are made up of whatever (unless they're based on real world places), and so, when there's someone who wouldn't have been in a climate (like the black general), I will just accept it, unless it becomes overly forced or their character is poorly written.

One thing that stood out after i read the short stories was that Geralt's relationship with Dandelion is portrayed as more strained in the tv shows, whereas in the books they are far far more chummy (this is going by the first two short story collections - last wish and sword of destiny) . For instance, theres a moment at the end of sword of destiny where Dandelion's trying to cross a river and says to Geralt 'Don't leave me behind or ill drown!' and Geralt replies along the lines of 'I would never let you drown, dear friend' The portrayal of Geralt in the shows is more along the lines of 'reserved dickhead', but in the books he's actually a lot more human/friendly in interactions with the people *that are close to him*. Also one thing off about this review, I would say is your point about Calanthe only being shown as strong even though she's just a wamen. That was still fairly accurate to the books i thought.

In the show every relationship of Geralt's has been butchered and I don't know which one was the saddest to miss. The way Jaskier/Dandelion was a good partner to Geralt, showing that even though he was a goofy troublemaker, he was also a very intelligent person with an ability to read people and a knowledge of the aristocratic world that a troubadour would possess over a witcher who mostly conducted business with villagers and townspeople. The way they haven't even thought of the relationship between Geralt and Ciri, stomping instead a big word of "destiny" over it, repeated pointlessly by every character who appeared on the screen. Or the way they completely changed the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer from their first meeting, where in the books she knows exactly what Geralt asked the Djinn for and in the show he apparently lies to her (?). I think the biggest character assassination has been performed on Yennefer, from being a sarcastic, intelligent, proud woman in the books to becoming a child in a dress who is supposed to be older than she looks, but acts younger in the show. People say the first season was good and that they kept close to the source material, but in my opinion these were the biggest signs of them actively hating the source material. None of the main characters were even similar to their book counterparts. Their relationships were completely changed and with them, the whole story changed.

Dandelion is a very interesting character. Apart from comic relief he has some really interesting things to say about the world and Geralt in the books. This was explored in the Witcher 1. Unfortunately he was more comic relief in Witcher 2 and 3 which I didn't like all that much. Anyway, the real story hasn't begun yet and season 1 is just a backstory which wasn't told well in the show. In the short stories you can clearly understand what is going on and there is enough world building to keep you invested. It also focuses mostly on Geralt. Yennefer's backstory was only done for the show.

@ And it doesn't make sense either way. I often see the argument being made that: ''it is only B A S E D on some Slavic cultures, it isn't actually Slavic.'' I find that funny, because all characters not from Zerrikania are already established as white, such as Triss, Yen, Fringilla, Istredd, Vilgefortz, and many others. So even if it wasn't an actual representation of Slavic culture from the 13'th century (which it is, but for the sake of arguing), it wouldn't even matter. The characters are still white. Replacing them with other ethnicities is still racist.

The world presented is also diverse, e.g. Skellige is strongly based on Scandinavia. The most Slavic thing in books is the language they were written in, but it probably must be lost in translation.

Humans, although late to arrive on the Continent, proved able to “out breed” the long lived elves, and so the Age of Elves would come to an end, and humans would become the dominant species on the Continent.
