Witcher. Vilgefortz - The Great Sorcerer of the North

[@ricardochavez2946]

I loved Geralts thoughts when thinking about the mistakes he made in the fight, The only one was not running away before the fight began

[@rykowojciech2993]

During the fight with Geralt, Vilgefortz made it clear to him about his superiority. I think V. Was more mutated than a witcher. It is clear he had such capabilities given his experiments and love of genetics

[@rykowojciech2993]

@@JuwyAla might be so!

[@rykowojciech2993]

On the second thought this might not be enough. I would not risk a fight with a witcher relying on my human senses

[@moonknightish]

Vilgefortz wasn't mutated, he was using illusions I think

[@Spr0ket]

Vilgefortz wasn't mutated in any way, I think he was using magic to give himself better physicality and metal pole was conjured so it probably was lighter than it should be which gave him more maneuverability

[@davidmwayi]

100% this man regrew his own eye after loosing it in Book 5 (lady of the lake), he also hints to Ciri that he is going to use her unborn child's placenta to give himself the gifts of travelling through time and space that her child is supposed tobe born with. For a man that learned in genetics, enhancing his our body with mutations that make him stronger, faster and more powerfull than any witcher is child's play.

Wow i dont know how i never found this channel before...thanks for the many great videos!

[@IseoluwaCobham]

@Old witcher Thank you for the explanation of this character. I must admit I never knew why most viewers of the Netflix series hated how the characters were portrayed. I understand better now, thanks to you. Well done

[@faketheo3432]

I thing a better/ more impressive title in the thumbnail would have been: "Almost killed Regis"

[@lise7170]

Regis was kill, Sapkowski say it :) Games are (very good)fanfiction :)

Meanwhile netflix vilgefortz 🤡

Everyone in flixer was done badly

[@stars-and-clouds]

Lmao doubt they even know why Vilgefortz was doing what he was. Or why anyone was doing what they were.

[@NguyenQuang-tm3ou]

vilgefortz in netflix is still alive because cahir does not give a sh1t about killing him lmao

[@fluffenjoyer4993]

Dude, while on topic of antagonists, could you cover Leo Bonhart? This vid about Vilgefortz was a very nice listen and I wanna hear your take on Leo. Great vid, liked and subbed

[@theParrotForeign]

One of the greatest villains in recent fantasy, has a sense of constant lingering menace in the books I thought and then we get that, I think the actor tried but you know, he had a sword didn't he. That was his magic @ Sodden Hill, he could make swords, Vilgefortz. Can't wait for Regis. Great lore video, subscribed.

[@lucabestea6844]

This truly helps me understand him better. A shame the series didn't portray him like here. Detailed! Though, if they did that, they'd have to make an excuse for him being beaten by Cahir.

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

No I always took that fight with Cahir as him “taking a fall” seeing as he kills one of the ban ard boys (or maybe jt was a sodden citzien can’t remember) right after that. He shouldn’t have any problem with Cahir if taking it seriously and not putting on a show of weakness.

[@Kollek89]

Amazing video!!!! There was some stuff that was not even in the books (or I missed them). Keep it up man!

[@itatreeneetee]

One wonders why Netflix didnt just stick with this awesome story.

[@Sparticulous]

Producer was too caught up in women are smart and strong, while men are stupid and evil

[@jefferycrouse4652]

Because they think the audience was too dumb to follow the "convoluted plot". They just didn't want to put the effort in and made their own shitty version

[@agmonblynkos]

having any amount of expectations from a bad platform as netflix is a waste, they will never do what their fans want to no matter how much we hope

[@danielhogan6255]

because the writers hate great literature and fans of it. Rings of power went the same way. May the writers of both shows spend the rest of their lives living in discarded refrigerators, fighting rats for scraps...to purposfully deface a great work of art over jealously? Somehow blasphemous is too soft of a word.

[@stephenweiss6001]

Why? Because Wokeflix has to keep up their ESG Score to please the financiers bankrolling the show. I'm dead serious.

[@adamp6320]

One small point about Thanedd, Tissaia freed Vilgefortz and the Nilfgaard wizards, rather than Vilgefortz freeing himself as you say in your video. When she realized she had made a mistake in doing this, Tissaia killed herself (rightly so!)

[@pierrecibandit3877]

I found your channel today, gotta say if you keep this up you'll get big on YT someday! The content is just like if you had 50-100 k subs! I'm impressed! Keep it up, cheers!

[@hy-drenalin8211]

Like your work! Please go on! 😃

[@YABBAHEY1]

You brushed on the reason for Vilge's defeat but kind'a missed the thematic point. It was only achieved in the end because Garalt & Yennifer worked together thus further binding their romantic & practical relationship. (Stronger together) Another semantic explanation for Emhyr's change of heart in his incestuous plans for Ciri is most likely due to his talk w/Garalt in Stygga Castle after the battle. Garalt knowing his own demise & not one to mince words w/"Duny"anyway, told him bluntly what a lowlife he'd be if he carried out his plan. I think Garalt in Emhyr's eyes is a rare sounding board for reality & he respects his judgement. Plus of course Ciri would hate him for life if he did her (father) harm. Hence their two destinies are intertwined. Emhyr isn't a dummy & realized this in that moment. Sapkowski making a comparison between Vilgefort's total loss of humanity to ambition & Emhyr retaining a scrap of decency amongst his scheming. The 'vagrant' Garalt of Rivia a role model to the most powerful man in the world even ? P.S.) Thanks for not using Netflix pictures. They show nothing but contempt for the lore.

[@OldWitcher]

Thanks for your comment) Exciting vision and opinion. I didn't think in this direction before.

[@YABBAHEY1]

@@OldWitcher If only we had Garalt's acute repartee during verbal sword fights, huh ? (a slightly weather worn plot device but nonetheless fun as hell to read one) to properly knock snobs down a peg in opportune moments. Awesome stuff by A.S. but leaves me wondering what in the heck happened w/Lady of the lake ? Dream weaving nymphs ?? Andrzej went off the rails from a potential masterpiece series IMO. Good fistec in Poland or something. 4th wall threatening wackiness, Immersion breaking self indulgent laziness, goofy for goofy's sake. Characters in the story debating "How to end the 'STORY'?!?" That's not charming, that's stupid. Anyway, what do you think, worth a review ? Contentious ones bring a lot of views, right ? You could title it : Did Andrzej Sapkowski have a nervous break down writing The Lady of The Lake ? Heh-heh He probably won't sue you until a million views. CDPR would know. (it'd be like the stock exchange !)

[@patriot459]

Wow what a character. Would have been nice to have this version of him int he Netflix show 😂

[@sebscolunga]

Great video! Please make one of Philipa 🎉

[@babw]

Nice video, enjoyed it a lot, thank you. But, one small thing I kind of remember different from the books is how Vilgefortz found about Ciri. If I don't remember wrong, he was the one who told Duny about Pavetta and helped him marry her, so he indirectly but purposefully caused Ciri to be born.

[@maubraymzoma6616]

That fight was what I was looking forward to the most from the novels but nooooo..... We get Netflix's fanfiction🤦🏾‍♂️

[@OldWitcher]

We’ve got 5 more episodes coming up Let’s see what happens and hope for the best 🙌🏼

[@thant0s]

Why am I convinced Vilgefortz will be soundly defeated through the overwhelming power of girlbossing while not-Geralt looks on with awe and reverence to his queens, and not-Jaskier turns to the camera and quips, ".. Well that happened!" in the Netflix series? ~_~'

[@maubraymzoma6616]

@@OldWitcher My good man, the moment they thought a storyline where Yen tries to sacrifice Ciri was any good was the final nail in the coffin for this mess.

[@richvestal767]

That's something that Disney and the MCU completely forgot....your heroes(including your "strong female" heroes) are only ever as strong as your strongest villains. If you make your villains weak, vapid, myopic, insecure, stupid, one-dimensional, or a satirical parody of your own political enemies-then your "strong" and "powerful" heroes are going to look just as equally weak in defeating them. And the audience is going to know that the "victory" they "won" was cheaply bought.

Which channel was it?

The channel in question is Ukrainian, even though it is russian-speaking. The author is a Ukrainian who now works here, so he adapted his own text for this channel (we also have a separate Ukrainian-language channel). Our entire team is Ukrainian.
