Well half of my favorite franchises are going down in flames (Resident Evil and Zelda come to mind), the other half have been long dead because they were so niche. Even Project Zero is only hanging on by a thread. Having been granted two ports on the Switch, but not seen a new installment for 8 years.

"Feels Great." - late Mike Stoklasa

"Henry was difficult to work with" because he actually knew the story and lore. He played the games. He read the books. He was an actual fan. Meanwhile, the writers and producers didn't and actually made fun of the books. Henry was difficult to work with because he was trying to make "the Witcher" TV show while they were trying to make crap and slap the "witcher" label on it.

Apparently, the writers complained that Henry would show up on set and give them a new script because theirs was so bad. One writer who no longer works on the show even said the rest of the writing team are not fans of the source material. It definitely looks like the showrunner herself calls herself a Witcher fan but from how she's portrayed major characters, she sure doesn't respect source material. Henry is basically the only reason this show got off the ground and with him leaving it's going to turn into a dumpster fire, I'd honestly be amazed if it didn't. Reason for him leaving?

Im not surprised cavil has told them to f..k off .. 100% there are alot of dull i guess for the lack of a better word boring parts in the books which wouldnt make for great TV but they have made alot of BS up yet ruined other parts by not explaining!!

They tried to explain it with this medallion that Ciri talks to, calling Geralt to help her but it still didn't make sense. It's not like Geralt could teleport to her because of that. In the books it was much better explained because Ciri knew that Geralt was not far from Gors Velen where she stayed with Yennefer so she asked that boy that was guiding her across the city, how to get to where Geralt is. The boy then tells her how to get to that village where Geralt had some job. Then she left Gors Velen and got to him. In the show they just didn't care about setting it up, they made Geralt appear because they thought that it would look cool. In the past season it also was present, especially when Geralt finds Yen and Ciri right in time before they're slaughtered by Cintrian soldiers. The show writers just don't care about logic, they just like to teleport characters whenever they need them in a certain scene.

Ciri being a snot nosed, spoiled princess that lashes out against authority and generally being a pain in the ass for everyone around her (with the exception of Dandelion and Triss tbh) is actually very faithful to the books. Thing being that book Ciri is quite a bit younger. I mean I get why they aged her up, given how she's basically seen as a brood mare by every faction after her. But in the series no character has room to develop or grow, so it just feels like they're repeating the same character beats over and over again.

I have read the books almost 20 years ago, back when I was in middle school. I loved them so much that I kept saving my pocket money to go to the book store and buy the next book in the series. Since then I've read them multiple times and they carried me through some tough times, like when I spent almost 2 months in a hospital due to an illness. I've played the games multiple times too and liked them, since they were mostly faithful to the spirit of the source material even if the stories they told were loosely based on it. The Netflix show however... I was hopeful before it started, slightly disappointed after season 1, but still thought that with some minor improvements it can be really good. I stopped watching in the middle of episode 2 of season 2. It is not an adaptation, it is a poor fan fiction that completely fails to represent the nature of characters involved. Not even that since the writers allegedly are definitely not fans of the source material. If someone likes the show - good, I'm happy for them.

LOTR trilogy deviated from the books quite significantly, but never contradicted them and in the end the improvement worked well for the movie.

Gotta say it was hard for me to get into the story of Geralt taking back his ex gf who previously tried to murder his daughter, but its all forgiven now cause she said ''sorry'' and explained she was a different person then... then being a year or two ago at most. WTF were the writers thinking??! Fathers like that you typically only ever see on JCS crime channels...

The reason they had to spend so much time redeeming Cahir and Fringilla is because they changed their characters to be cartoonishly evil in season 1.

Just shows you that the writers never cared about the books they're supposed to be adapting. Hell, they probably didn't even read them all before writing the show.

Alex's spitting facts so hard that you can feel the splashes of truth through the screen. Nasty.

The moment Henry had an issue with the show runners and writers, they should have gotten new show runners and writers.

Here are my thoughts: Margarita; - I’m so angry with how they ruined the Sorceresses. Margarita (Lizzo in the show) is one of the most beautiful women alive, and a genuinely kind and compassionate person. In the show? Nah she’s a fat black chick that physically and emotionally abuses her students… Even slaps Ciri upon their first meeting! A girl she was determined to help and train without an ulterior motive. Politics; - The political stuff is essentially trying to emulate GoT, however there’s no weight or substance to it. We don’t really see the Kingdoms. We’re told Redania is the strongest Northern Realm, but there’s no display of that strength. Show us their military being built up subtly throughout the show? Show us their industry and establish the economic importance of the Kingdom. When we’re introduced to Redania it’s a scene where 2 nobles try to assassinate the King, but we don’t know why. And Vizimir appears incompetent despite being strong in the books. We’re also given a “shocking” scene where his Queen is killed this season, kicking off the war. Okay…. Shouldn’t that be important? Why not have a subplot where she’s actually a good ruler trying to avoid war and undermine Djikstra? Establish the diplomat, Ambassador Var Attre, and explore Nilfgaard as an Empire, not just a big cult. Then when the Queen is killed it’s actually impactful because we sympathise with her being the rational and compassionate leader. - Now, Radovid. Making him an adult was the biggest L. His extremism and sociopathy is caused by Philippa abusing him over his childhood. What they should have done was cast a late teen, and have him as the son from Vizimir’s first marriage. But instead of the typical disdain between son & stepmum, have them actually love each other. So when the Queen is killed we see it affects Radovid, and a series of flashes showing he was assisting her secretly throughout her subplot! Thus he knows Djikstra & Phil are responsible, and it’s the catalyst for his tyrannical journey. - Him being gay? It’s pure diversity quota. There’s no narrative reason for it to be written that way. It’s done because there aren’t any gays in the books, AND to give Jaskier more screentime. Even though they could’ve had him helping the Queen. What’s worse is that the Radovid actor looks like he’s constantly on the verge of tears and sounds like a whipped dog. Elves & Nilfgaard; - Cahir has basically been doing nothing since Sodden. In the books he doesn’t actually do anything until the Thanedd Coup, where he tries to help Ciri, then later joins Geralt’s Hanse. So as a means to drive a wedge between him and Emhyr he’s demoted and forced to murder his friend and a valuable ally to the Empire. Why would you trust him Emhyr? He’s just proven he’ll betray anyone! Even worse is that Emhyr chose the wrong Elf to kill. Francesca wants Ciri which makes her a threat. Rebel Elf wants to actually focus on fighting the North and doesn’t care about Ciri! Perfect ally… - Fringilla is worthless. She’s so unimportant we don’t even see her planning and executing her escape. In the book she’s identical in appearance to Yen and sent to seduce and distract Geralt in Toussaint for a few months, and that’s it. So they obviously can’t do that in the future seasons. They should have had her and Cahir escape, try and live in exile, then he kills her to get back into Emhyr’s favour. Perhaps she meets Ciri, plans to kill her for revenge, and Cahir’s intervention leads to tracking Ciri and proposing the Thanedd attack. That would have actually given characters shit to do! There’s just so much wrong with this show. The “writers” should honestly be ashamed.

It's so sad. I remember quite liking season 1. And then so much bad stuff started coming out about it during and after S2. I love Henry for trying to keep the show on track but this should not be his job. That's got to be stressful as hell to constantly correct it not being lore accurate. They need to start having lore experts or the original writer on set to keep it a faithful adaptation. Sometimes it's okay to change the story a bit for TV series/movie purposes but the way they've changed entire personalities of characters and the story is too far. It's EXTREMELY selfish as a director to be like ''How can I add my agenda, baggage and other junk into this series that isn't my work?'' They're adapting someone else's work and not treating it with the respect it deserves. It bothers the hell out of me cause Amazon did it too with LOTR. This really has to stop cause I'm tired of it.

The 4th book or 2nd main story book is mainly yennefer and ciri with very little Geralt the first book midway through also becomes alot of ciri and Yennefer as Geralt is gone because people are following him to get to ciri so we get Yen and her bonding, the show instead made most of the show Yennefer and dumb scenes of ciri running around the woods for no reason when its like these 2 characters have hugeeee moments to shine later on, ciri literally becomes the main character for some books while Geralt is recovering and Yennefer is presumed dead.

The best scenes, as throughout the series, are when Henry is on-screen, sadly Geralt has been reduced to making cameos in his own show. This season so far, boring af.

you can not save a show when you have the director and writers mocking the source material

"It's called The Witcher and yet it doesn't really focus much on the Witcher" To be honest, books are like that too, the focus is more on Ciri than Geralt basically. Only people who only played games expect heavy focus on Geralt. All that said, not saying show is true to the books or any good. xD

Episode 5: Djikstra sneaks up on Geralt and holds a knife to his neck. Episode 1 or 2: I didn't dodge, because I heard you aiming to miss. Hmmm...

Season 3 so far has been better than 2, as only a fan of the games I have a very soft spot for seeing Geralt and Ciri doing witcher stuff. The scene on the boat with the monster, the maze with the monster, and the entire first episode made it watchable for me. Don't get me twisted though: They done fucked it up.

The pacing and world-building are a disaster. Hissrich and team had absolutely no idea what they were doing. The early seasons of GoT did this masterfully.

As a fan of the books, the political intrigue and time spent on other characters is something you want. Issue is the show waters it down so much and does a poor job pacing it. Most of the scenes concerning politics are kinda treated like jokes sometimes. There's also character assassinations happening left and right. Dijkstra is a clown, Yen is a jolly teenager, Ciri is a self centered brat, Geralt sometimes acts uncharacteristically childish and emo, Emhyr is a frat boy (he's supposed to be more like Tywin Lannister in demeanor), Vizimir is being played like he's in a stage comedy, Philippa doesn't have her commanding presence and she rivals Padmé Amidala in how many stupid looking wacky hairstyles she has scene to scene, Jaskier has too much angst and lost his poetic wit (also what's with the make-up?), and I'm sure im forgetting some more. There are a few nuggets here and there where a small scene from the books is actually adapted relatively well, but it's amidst all this hogwash. It feels like those are the moments that Henry had to fight so hard to get in the show, because they're the only things with any heart or respect for the source material. It's not supposed to be the Geralt show. The novels were always about Ciri and the grander plot with the mages and kings, and Geralt is the audience vessel and the one having to navigate this world while obviously having deep stake in it. The games are like this too, especially Witcher 2. I wish they DID just endeavor to make a serialized "Witcher adventures" kind of show where every episode is a new monster hunt and moral dilemma, because at least that would be easier for these writers to tackle.

Blaming it on wokeness instead of pointing out the sheer arrogance of the writers room to make the many core changes you mentioned for the sake of leaving their mark on the IP only serves to validate their whole “Henry and the fans are just toxic righ-wing gamers” defence. The problem was never that the fictional fantasy show released in 2023 had black and bisexual people in it, it was that the writers didn’t use their screen presence effectively to tell a compelling story. Deviating from source material isn’t an automatic disqualification, but the changes have to improve the story and aid in adapting it to a visual medium. Nothing these writers did ever accomplished that, or anything for that matter.

I'd even donate to him crowdfunding it for the fans.

I bet all the writers and actors who aren't into nerdy stuff were always like "ugh he's such a nerd, just go play with your miniature toys."

Clearly the writers depict wnabie Yennerfer as the main toon, clearly utter garbage and should not be called The Witcher.

The Witcher lore is built for a Monster(or quest) of the week type of episodic series. With an over arching plot that can conclude over season(s).

I need one of those thread-boards trying to figure out what the heck is actually going on.

It's sad to think this story could have been just as legendary as the books and the games. The people who wrote this should be absolutely ashamed.

I would say it was fun while it lasted but the headache I've gotten from the show is simply not worth my time.

52:40 - What you're thinking about is Vantage Point (2008). A Pete Travis film.

Episode 1 was good guys? ya kidding? 1. Kinds forgetting about Ciri kill attempts by Yen 2. Adult Ciri is "playing" with Geralt like she's 10 or something. Looks weird as fuck. 3. Geralt leaves helpless Rience not killing him in split second only for rest of plot to happen - ridiculous. 4. Yennefer parries fireball like Neo xD (shes op af) 5. Yennefer holds strong portal and and with single hand tosses Francesca like bag of potatos. I remind you that Francesca is one of the most powerful sorceress in the world. 6. Rience buys monster to track down Ciri and forgets to follow the monster XD 7. ..but insted Rience prefers to fall into obvious trap setted by Geralt and Yen 8. Yarpen travels 8 days to bring Jaskier to Ciri Geralt and Yen for what... fake-decoy? Yen and Geralt are going with Ciri, so Jaskier is no needed. And aside of that, nothing happened during those 8 days? The amount fuckups in only first episode is atrocious and im not even counting minor problems which are dozens!

When did Margarita become a plus-size sorceress?

That goes against the whole point of Sorceresses! They're supposed to be breathtakingly beautiful because it's another way for them to manipulate Kingly Courts!

Because whoever is in charge of casting on this show is addicted to snorting tweets

I swear this first volume restarted the story 7-9 times within each episode like someone had filmed 24 episodes, chopped it all up, sewed 5 episodes out of the carnage, and called it good.

What's funny is that this season stayed more true to the books but still they fucked up many scenes and characters either by misunderstanding those or by not giving a damn. For example Cahir suddenly asking Ciri for forgiveness totally didn't make sense and was out of place. In the books it made sense because he fell in love with Ciri and wasn't THAT bad to begin with. Here he acts like a total psycho in the first and second season and then out of nowhere he's like "Forgive me, Ciri 😩". They also miscast many characters like Margarita who was described as blonde sorceress with a body that even nymphs were jealous of. Instead we got an overweight actress. What the fuck? I'm afraid that they're going to think something along the lines of "We tried to be more truthful to the books and you still didn't like it so we're going to make new things again". Hope not but at this point I don't really look forward to season 4. I just don't care anymore.

Henry cavil is actually a huge nerd and used to play classic WOW and the witcher games, and he still plays despite his busy life, so i completely understand why he is upset.

If only they have some books or something to follow

34:45 - young woman is Mistle, introduced way too early. She rapes/molests Ciri in the books and they become lovers. Really grim stuff, entire "Rat gang" story line. Ciri goes dark side for a while. Netflix will probably change that.
