Ciri is basically the lead in the books though. Yeah, the early short story collections focus on Geralt (and they're also my favourite Witcher stories) but once you move into the main series with Blood of Elves, the books are pretty conclusively about Ciri. She and Geralt end up on opposite sides of the world and the story largely focuses on her struggles, powers and rivalries from that point on. Geralt is still a major part of the books, and the interactions between him and his adventuring party are Sapkowski's best writing in the series imho, but I think it's wrong to say the books are definitively about him at that point.

The ethnical background is what makes the orginal witcher unique. There is no ✨flavor✨in this new „all in one” remake. When we try to include everything so noone can get offended, the final product is simply nothing.

these shows are not intended for Slavic audiences though - they're intended for westerners.

Of course they could've done this a lot smarter instead of mixing every culture representative possible in every possible group but that's another story.

It was about tolerance (or lack of it) between humans, elves, dwarfs, magical beings etc. The stories had it all - and readers known it, makes the books so popular not only in Poland, but even internationally. Then comes netflix with its showrunner and writers, use the witcher brand and making it in their own, 2020s USA-centric version... And we know the rest.

I would like a show all about African, Asian, South American, or Middle Eastern ancient lore. I like learning about other cultures and it would never occur to me to question that a show specifically dedicated to a specific people when travel was extremely limited would largely only contain those people. If they want to make a futuristic story where travel is extremely common, I would find it completely believable to have a cast of characters of varying races. I just want it all to be realistic and logical and I don't want to be told constantly that the only reason I want things this way is because I'm racist and misogynistic.

I know nothing of Warhammer but the fact that Cavil is not just in the show but is a producer and he's genuinely passionate about the source material makes me want to try it. It could honestly be the first adaptation in the last 10 years where the show runners actually give a shit (besides Dune). Here's hoping the rest of the producers don't coordinate against Cavil because if the show is good, it will also show what fans have been saying for years that you can only make a successful adaptation IF YOU RESPECT THE SOURCE MATERIAL.

Such a fair point. You know for all the shit talked about the Witcher, I kept my head down & followed Geralt's story, & I enjoyed it. If i looked around too much or too deep into other characters, well that's not my point. Mad respect to Mr. Cavill, an actor who, like the greats (Pacino, Di Nero, 90% of the original Lord Of The Rings cast & 97% of the original Star Wars, & hell Star Trek TNG) cared about their characters & treated them as entities who deserve respect, actually found a way to enjoy the Witcher. I tried, I really did, to enjoy Blood Origin, Christ my phone had an alarm set for when it came out. But the acting was so over the top or stunted. 1 of my biggest cringe parts was b4 the made the 1st Witcher, stone fart & Lady Lark pretending to be sexually attracted to each other when they "kissed" there was a sound I heard, a romantic/charismatic black hole opening up in the space/time continuum.

Can we have our own characters please? I’m an old ass Caribbean woman and I fucking love the Witcher books in all their Slavic glory and the games for bringing my favorite characters to life. The books are unique for their complex and deeply flawed female characters and remain a testament to the lasting impact of the women who helped rebuild Poland after the war. Their influence is all over those books. It’s also refreshing to see a stoic, strong yet genuinely good male character with depth and charisma. I crave seeing people that look like me and my family in more entertainment but we deserve our own stories and the fans of these stories want to celebrate what makes them uniquely Polish. This pandering is basically corporate trolling as a marketing ploy and unfairly makes these actors take the brunt of manufactured rage for no good reason than free publicity.

It hurt how much they butchered some of the characters from the book. The one that hurt me the most was the beast man from the season 2. He was my favorite character who was the first to be in the first Witcher book. Here they made him a pussy. I was so mad how they also butchered Lydia. She wasnt just any villain. She was an amazingly beautiful character. So much suffering in her and all for what she thought right and for the love she had. Fucked her up too…

I am from Poland. I watch the very first Witcher adaptation with Polish actors (early 2000s). Back then I thought that it looked cheesy, but now I think it was the most faithful and so far the best Witcher adaptation. Just because it says production is made by Americans and has big names ( Although I think Henry Cavil was the best actor of modern series along with Jaskier, Ciri and Yennefer), does not mean good quality. What I liked about the Polish production, is that I felt immersed in the world the series has portrayed. And the Jaskier songs (voiced by Zbigniew Zamachowski) were fantastic. However it was the scene of Pavetta's rage where I felt the full magic of the show.

I defend that series and love it to this day. Yeah, the practical effects and cgi are terrible and they left out or mixed up a lot of stuff from the books. But the atmosphere, the actors, the immersion, and the music are absolutely great. And Michał is unmatched as Geralt. Pity. So many millions spent by the Americans and the result is terrible.

I agree, saw that adaptation on KZbin back when it was still available and I think it is far more convincing and faithful to the source material than any of the games, not to mention Netflix adaptations. It is easy to laugh today at practical effects in TV show from central-european country 20 years ago. Look at the western TV shows from the 90s. Michal was great as Geralt. I think anyway that short stories and novellas from early Sapkowski work are his best works, and maybe the first novel. But even from his later bloated and chaotic novels it is possible to get enough good material to have a decent show. But no one seems to want that.

But noooo... lets tell once again a story about Driving Miss Daisy. Also, yeah, it is possible to tell a diverse racial story even in historical medieval settings.

Game of thrones had diversity, there were strong male characters, strong female characters, light skin characters, black characters, disabled characters (the hound's burned face, Tyrion being a dwarf, Jamie losing his hand, Theon...), we had Brienne, a really tall/big woman who got bullied because of her height, we had gay/bisexual characters, but did it ever feel forced? no. Did it feel annoying? no. Was it the characters' only personality trait? no. That's because the story was great, and the characters were so well-written.

This's spot on, plus GOT's writters didn't fulfill the need to get any representative character a "I'm the best" screen time, even to the point any distinctive character arc isn't to be found. . For example (as much spoiler-free as possible) Renly isn't interesting because he just kills every characters in his way with the left hand, while the right one is busy opening a Pepsy can then putting in to his mouth. He is interesting because...of the way he behaves, and specifically the way he interacts with other characters. . But even those simple story tricks look like flying way above the head of actual majors' movie-makers.

You could have ethnically distinct countries, with a sprinkling of other races, from other areas, traders and whatever, but if you must have a diverse cast all in one place, here's a thought, why not have lots of the story set in port cities, or crossroads on trade routes, where the different races converge. Which usually makes for a interesting setting, for deceits, double crosses and heroism, and shady dealing in back street bars. Istanbul sort of thing, I'm not a writer or anything, but you know, it just might work visually and plot wise.

I'm huge Witcher fan. I'm from Poland, so to me this series is very personal and close. I watch polish serial Witcher when I was a little kid with my brother and my uncle. When I was older I read all books and I fell in love with world created by Sapkowski. I remember first time when I play the first game it was a wonderfull experience for me, I use to weke up every morning and play this game, I waited for the second and third game like hell. When I was older and my mental helth was bad (I had depression), I used to get in my car and ride to the woods. I spend houres in wild reading this series, and this story helped my get through worst time of my life. Hell, I even nemed my dauther Cirilla. I wrote my batchlor about the Slavic coulture in Witcher, I have tattoos inspired by Witcher, I train sword fight. So you can see how much this series has inpact on my life, and now when I watch this shit, I feel ofended and in some way betrayed. This Netflix crap shoudn't by called Witcher, becouse this has nothing common witch the Witcher. It's punch to face to the Slavic coulture and spit in the face of fans not only here in Poland, but all over the world. I don't belive in coultural apropriatnion, but if it exist this netflix shit is best example of it. I hope only that oders great fantasy series don't get woke thretment like Witcher.

The language, behaviors and mentality that is depicted within these new fantasy shows is a product of a modern cosmopolitan elitist (priviliged Hollywood upper class) experience of reality rather than being derived from an understanding of the historical record and the profound cultural differences that have existed between various societies.

100%, and unfortunately it's not just movies. As an avid reader, it blows my mind how often modern fantasy stories don't seem to understand this. The entire point of fantasy (and sci-fi) is to be taken on an adventure to a time and place outside contemporary realities. And to experience all of the trials that environment places on the characters. Instead, today's fiction author's vision of fantasy seems to be some retarded variation of a popular MMO they played in their youth, where the culture is a lazy facade filled with quest-giving NPCs. "Character progression" just a stat improvement on a skill sheet, and the harsher realities of medieval civilization presented only as tropes the author uses to virtual-signal their own post-modern viewpoints on.

I disagree. World building is important but it's secondary to a good plot. Granted, if there's poor world building, everything else must be that much better to compensate for it if you want people to like your work of fiction. But it's not THE biggest factor and a LOT can be overlooked if everything else shines. I like to use the original three Star Wars movies as an example. If you critically examine the feasibility of something like the Death Star, or whether a bunch of stone age walking teddy bears would really prove that much of a hindrance to a galaxy-spanning Empire, you can rule it all as absurd very quickly. But most people overlook those things because they're invested in the story's characters and want to see them succeed in spite of the odds stacked against them. The Witcher fails on BOTH accounts though. There was not a single character shown that I cared about and the lore behind events was a muddled mess. Things appeared to happen with no rhyme or reason behind them, nobody's motivations were clear or understandable, and overall everything had this "generic fantasy" vibe to it with little to distinguish it from the countless thousands of other stories just like it.

In terms of the “diversity” you mentioned in every geographical area, they did the same thing with The Wheel of Time. In the first episode they are in The Two Rivers, which is a majorly secluded area which rarely gets visitors and the area has an ancient history. The book even describes what a Two Rivers person looks like and describes how weird it is that one of them looks different. It’s a major plot point in the book, because obviously this character did not originally hail from the Two Rivers. However, in the show it’s just a “diverse” hodgepodge. It literally made 0 sense.

You could tell that show would be trash the second you saw the casting, well really even before that when they put out the description of the show and it had the most feminist interpretation of the world of WOT possible. Ethnic conflict is an enormous recurring story point within the books and Rand being Aiel is also a core plot point. Having the two Rivers look like LA is retarded, It would be like having a show about some isolated town in NH or Maine and have it being racially diverse, it makes absolutely no sense.

I think I speak for all of us when I say the real audience looking at this want a series/movie that closely follows the source material and has internally consistent, fact checked story. We want psychologically fleshed-out characters, realistic physics, consistent non-physics (magic) mechanics, and a captivating scene rhythm. Everything else is a bonus: good graphics and effects, pretty people, battle choreography, music, costumes, and even above average acting, Id say. Sometimes you can get away with mediocre acting and not ruin the immersion. We don't care about the color of anyone's skin, as long as it's the skin the source material describes. And if it doesn't, and it's a good fit for it, you can make them green for all we care. This is literally the formula. Its that simple. And in a world where the movie industry is so powerful and wealthy this is trivial to make. I know people that can make computer algorithms that can write book adaptations with such parameters and spit them out daily. But Hollywood can't be bothered.

There was no cultural clashes, no slavery, no racism, everyone got along, despite the fact, had they actually existed, they would have intermarried to the point there's be no difference between them now.

You don't have to show it to a pub full o Witcher fans in Poland, I assure you that's what we all were doing during Christmas and it was wild. In the first episode, I had to keep reminding myself that those burly bearded guys with Scottish accents are elves, not dwarfs. I also love how a bearded, Viking-looking guy (at first I thought that he is the human in that scene) at the end sees a human woman for the first time and has no idea what she is, even though the only difference between them is the shape of their ears, which wouldn't be able to see from that distance. You know, why spend time and money on design and showing the audience that they're different races when you can just shout at them instead? And I also like the point about the 1000-year war. When I was in college, I had to write a short sci-fi story for the final exam in my creative writing class, and I put there a throw-away line about two races being at war for a thousand years and the professor a bit sarcastically pointed out to me that that's a bit long time to be at war. Boy oh boy, if she only knew that people are paid good money by Netflix for writing shit like that. The dialogues were great too - I like how in one episode the guy with cleavers says that terribly cheesy line about thinking that he was done with killing, but the killing wasn't done with him, and the writers must have really loved it and thought it was the greatest line since Clint Eastwood's "Go ahead, make my day", because the narrator uses the same phrase about the dwarf girl and the elves ten minutes later. Speaking of, I love how they allude to slavery in the real world by adding the line about elves being responsible for their ancestors' crimes against the dwarves. White guilt much? Also, I wonder how many reshoots there were since that bug monster from episode 3 looked pretty good, but the main beast seemed like something taken out of Dinotopia. Or maybe they just wanted to honor the infamous golden dragon from the Polish version of the Witcher from 2001.

Honestly the "thousand years war" is not so far-fetched. Reconquista is counted as a singular war, that lasted 781. Not that far from 1000. That said, it's more like series of conflicts. As which, 1000 years war is quite possible. Also, a war doesn't have to actively consist of military actions and constant killing and destroying. For example North and South Korea are at war since 1945. The war is at total standstill (as far as I know), and you'll only experience it by high military security at the border. Being anywhere else in South Korea you'd think the country is at peace. While there are peace talks going on, it would be possible to create plausible conflict that would go on for thousand(s) of years with little to no battle. Especially in fantasy/sci-fi setting where creatures might live very long, or distances might be absurd, or other factors are at play. With all that said I'm not protecting the Blood Origin series. The war presented there is just plain stupid. Someone just wrote 1000 because it "sounded cool", without considering practical implications as above.

I feel like creatives who are adapting books or games to shows or movies NEED to be huge fans of the originals in order to translate what made the original so great from one medium to another. My favorite example at the moment is the latest Dune movie. Everyone who read the books knew this would be a tremendous undertaking, near impossible, but denis villeneuve manage to capture the FEELING of the books in a way only a fan could while still telling a story that was essentially the same as the books. He didn't need to be 100% faithful to the story because what he had accomplished was incredible enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Witcher season 1, not knowing anything about the lore. But season 1 in my opinion was pretty good, even though Witcher fans had issues with it. Season 2 was an absolute punch in the gut and I was so confused about how bad it was. It barely had their one shining star involved in any scenes! Wth?!
