exactly.

I don't hate that they cast Liam Hemsworth as Geralt. That's not an issue for me. My issue is that the show just isn't any good. The showrunners and writers don't respect the source material enough. They admitted that they don't like the books or video games. The biggest issue in my view is how often Geralt gets lost in the shuffle of his own show. He's practically a secondary character in each season. In that regard, I don't see Liam Hemsworth making a huge impact as Geralt. He'll likely be a carbon copy of Henry Cavill. But that won't be his fault. He's literally picking up the role from a previous actor. He's probably gonna be forced to copy Henry's performance in the first three seasons. Which would be a total disservice to Liam in the end. He won't get to stand out in any particular way.

No thanks. Nothing against Liam but no Cavil, no views from me.

I imagine the only reason Netflix didn't cancel this the moment Henry left is due to contractual agreements they couldn't get out of; for example: Velma. There's no other reasonable explanation in my mind to keep this ridiculous farce going. I hope Liam laughs all the way to the bank because he gets nothing else out of trying to follow up Henry, plummeting views/reviews, and the inevitability of cancelation.

No they can always get outta contract. They just have to pay the full money per contract. That's what HBO did when they decided to cancel Westworld they had to pay out all the actors and writers. Netflix is going to wait to see how fans respond. If people still watch it then it'll get renewed. The last 3 seasons have all ranked top 10. But viewership has declined each season even with Henry Cavill. At some point the numbers might not be enough.

Did Liam need a job that badly? I feel bad for him too, but he had to know this was going to be a shitshow. I suppose he felt the payday was worth the grief.

Wasn’t this the Ciri and Yennifer show?

We can totally blame Liam.

It'd be cool if this was actually Elric of Melnibone, the character Geralt was ripped off from, justified by "in every universe there's a legend of a white haired man who holds fate in his hands" or some such nonsense. Interestingly, the Elric show was dropped in pre-production because the Witcher was said to be far more likely to draw an audience.

Dude your cover image cracked me up 😂

Honestly, Cavill and Hemsworth are too good looking to play Geralt in my mind. Cavill was a great fit because of his passion not necessarily his look. Hemsworth will do fine in the second fiddle role and no one will watch it. Nothing to do with him and everything to do with the toxicity of the show runners and writers who are the people who should have been fired.

I like Liam, but this was a monumental cock-up. He looks like a cos-play of henry's witcher.

I felt a bit sorry for Hemsworth. He's walked onto a boat that's lost at sea, everyone on board is dead and there's a gaping hole just above water line that's splashing water inside.

Wonder if the outfall, and reception, would have been better with Liam's brother?

Feel bad for Liam not his fault but he better be prepared and understand our disappointment is not with him but with Netflix and its writers

Haven't they made just about every mistake they possibly can? There should be an award

This tells me 2 things Cavill has integrity. Hemsworth doesn't.

Henry = Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher) Liam = Regalt of Viria (The Switcher)

How embarrassing.

This trailer would have been amazing, had Ben Stiller been in it.

I don't care who they hire, S2 was a let down for me so I never tuned into S3. Unsure how taking this role will effect the Hemsworth actor's career.

It doesn't matter what you think. They won, and they will keep winning. You can't stop them.

The Witcher is a background character in this Witcher show anyway, surprised he’s even in the trailer.

No hate to Liam, but I wanna hear his witcher voice before making judgement.

This probably isn't going to go well, and it's a shame for something based on such a good game.

oki. it looks fine. liam looks fine. good luck with that netflix.

Can we get a remake?….

Do you reckon they'll blame the low views on weather like Dr Who are trying to? 😂😂

The Switcher: The Wrong Wolf.😅 Seriously, let's give Liam Helmworth a chance. Who knows, he might kill it. "Might."

Liam of Rivia. Witcher, with tenure.

I got the same shock when Ben Affleck was announced for Batman. I was so disappointed knowing his movies in which he acted were great but in a completely different style than that of a superhero. I think he's a great actor. I thought it would never fit into the Batman film series, and yet he surprised us. The movies he played as Batman were great. So I think we shouldn't judge until we see what happens with the Witcher series. One thing that is certain is that the series are slowly dying. I watched the first two seasons non-stop. I haven't finished the third one yet, it's kind of like it doesn't draw me to watching the episodes. I feel that the series has already dropped a lot since its third season and it's a shame because both the books and the games are great. They had a lot to give us, but........

I actually don’t think Liam is bad choice for the role. Outside the look the role doesn’t require world class method acting or anything. Geralt is mostly stoic and even keeled. Henry is definitely the superior actor but I think Liam is perfected serviceable. But with the same writers it doesn’t matter who they cast it’s going to fail regardless.

Netflix went from using bait and switch marketing tactics with Henry Cavill, into using bait and switch marketing with Liam Hemsworth. It would be kinda funny, if he too quit the show. Its not going to happen, but would be funny.

I guess Netflix like to burn money.

Liam took the $$ good on him ,just take the $$ and move on

Do they hate him or how the show is going in general? Didn't everyone know it would happen? Wonder what Cavill will do now that Amazon is also destroying his 40k project... Btw: 4th of July will be UK election. Kinda symbolic date lol

it would've bomb even with henry cavill, with or without netflix, henry cavill still bomb anyway

The funny thing is that in my opinion Liam Hemsworth actually looks closer in the face to the game depiction of Geralt. That however doesn't help with the show devolving into the Ciri and Yennefer show, fanfic nonsense.

@@stephengrant4841 You're assuming that is my main issue or reason for my use of the term 'fan fiction'. It's not. I have read the books and you're correct that Ciri is an important and primary protagonist, but she jointly shares that position with Geralt, she does not eclipse him completely. But that is by far and away not the main issue with the show, it's the heavy of altering of the story, heavy changes to or outright replacement of story elements, important characters, their personalities and motivations etc. etc. If these changes served to make the show more compelling that would be one thing but almost all the major changes, additions and removals have resulted in something that is noticeably inferior. I say noticeably because even those who have not read the books have largely agreed that the shows overall quality and storytelling consistency has taken a sharp nose dive the farther that is has progressed and conversely the farther it has indeed strayed from the source material.

In defense of Netflix abomination, Liams physique is actually more book accurate than Henrys, still my point stands that thing is abomination with or without Cavill. Just read the books it is not that hard and it will show you just how bad this show really is.

It sounds like everyone is in agreement overall. Nobody sees Liam as the issue at all! I think he actually looks great and will probably do a phenomenal job but without Henry, I have no interest. He clearly left for good reason.

Someone will probably deepfake Henry's face and voice when show comes out. But it will still be shit because writers of this show are main problem, not the actor.

What the F is going on? The Witcher, Dr Who, Star Wars, every beloved franchise is being destroyed.

Watched s1, watched 10 min of s2, didn't watch s3, won't watch whatever this is. I have no problem with the recasting, it's the writing that's garbage.

Can’t be upset with him, as an actor, I’m certain he will do a fine job, working with the material he’s given. I won’t be watching. I stopped watching 5 episodes into season 2. And i don’t even know anything about the game. It just seemed, with a show named “the Witcher”, they should make it about the fucking Witcher. That’s why i walked away. Even with as much girl power as season 2 of reacher became, it was still full of Reacher, and he did some beating and banging…

I honestly think Liam can do a better acting job.

Liam is good looking but Henry is very manly…
