Honestly, season two’s extreme deviation from lore, quality storytelling, and character development chased most of us away before Cavill left. I mean, in the books, Yen basically adopts Ciri as a replacement for the kids she’d never be able to birth (a decision that she constantly regrets and tries to “fix”) and goes scorched earth multiple times to protect her. In the show, Yen loses her magic (for some unexplained reason) and spends the second season trying to set up some sort of Ciri sacrifice to gain her powers back. Who in the Hell thought that was a good narrative decision?

Correction. It isn't the origin of the first witcher. It's what the show runners think was the origin of the first witcher which is why it fits into the lore like a square peg in a round hole. They didn't read the books. Or play the games. Or talk to anyone that knows what a witcher is and when they got hired probably in unison whined about why Geralt isn't gay. This could have been a new game of thrones if they came at it with even a tablespoon of respect for the source material and tried to stick as close as possible to it instead of sidelining the main god damned character to smash the patriarchy.

In the witcher 3 there was a side quest, where you investigate on a attack of mosters, together with a hunter. If you talk to him, Geralt thinks he's a werewolf, because he lives outside of the village and always keeps distance to it, but the man doesn't really want to talk about it ,but if you pressure him enough he says, that he loves another man and no one shall find out. This had so much more meaning in it just it wasn't shoved down my throat and was a story told realisticly for the time and world, the witcher taking place

I loved that part. It was actually a main quest in the prologue when you investigate the griffin attacks. And the story is even more depressing because the hunter tells us the man he loved hanged himself when people found out about them, and the hunter went into isolation so he won't be near people any more. A very sad story and the perfect example how can you tell a story well about homosexuality in a medieval like fantasy game.

A veteran member is the one that brings up her heritage... and is promptly separated from his head, pretty powerful stuff. Or maybe she could've just given a speech about her insecurities, who knows?

This intentional shoehorning of diversity and female empowerment across media has had an opposite effect on a lot of people, including me. Ten years ago, when people were tossing around the idea of Idris Elba playing James Bond, I was like, “A smooth, badass British guy? Hell yeah, I can see it.” Now, if they cast a black actor as Bond, I distrust Hollywood’s agenda to such an extent, I wouldn’t be able to help thinking, “A smooth, black British guy? I’m getting worried…” Their relentless insistence that diversity is more important than quality has got me seeing race and gender more than I ever have in the past. It just sucks. Hollywood, you’ve pushed moderate liberals like myself further away with your fanaticism. What if instead of forced diversity, it was forced Christianity. Pretty sure if quality was sacrificed in favor of every character promoting Christianity at every turn, you’d eventually even get some Christians going, “God damn, fuck all this.”

There is showing, not telling. The general wears fancy clothes, plays social games, doesn't look like a warrior and never fights. Because he is politician, not a soldier. This show was not about how characters find out their own motivations. It is the opposite. Motivations are clear from the start and story is about how they go about getting what they want.

netflix states goal "We want to make an epic fantasy series based in an already well established universe to maximize our initial viewership by appealing to a pre existing fanbase, and minimize the amount of work that we need to do by making use of pre existing material." Netflix proceeds to not do any of that.

I watched it all and it was just another show delivering us, in an unsubtle manner, "The Message".

The writers couldn't have been more blind to their audience. The audience loves the source material since its where the entire story originates. These new writers as we all know hate the source material and seemed to think they could do better than the original author while at the same time making it diverse, woke, and literally embedded with politics. Huge mistake and Hollywood seems to make this mistake over and over. Add that on top of Henry Cavil quitting the show over these very matters and it makes for a disaster of mega proportions.

Well, I would love to see how would you describe the first Witcher movie series made in 2002 in Poland with Michał Żebrowski portrayed as Geralt. And Im sorry if you already did that as i haven seen the video

What Netflix has done is actually impresive af. Being polish, I can tell you for a fact, noone thought the Netflix Witcher content would be worse than the first Witcher TV show made by us. Simply due to the budged. But they actually did it, it's really insane lmao. I really recommend watching the OG polish show, don't get me wrong, it's bad, but it has something Netflix' Witcher lacks, atmosphere.

A massive difference between showing and not telling would be House of Dragons in comparison to this show. This show uses 4 episodes to squeeze out like a weeks worth of events in which a good portion is said rather than shown. House of Dragons does a lot of showing and manages to squeeze several decades into 10 episodes while making every episode feel like a great movie. You feel engaged, you not only learn about characters but grow fond of them and you just feel yourself slowly slipping into the universe this story is taking place in. Blood Origin feels like a TikTok video made by teenagers...

The acting in house of dragons is very good. Thats also a reason actors should think twice before agreeing playing in a s*it show. A director in a s*it show is not able to exploit the acting skills of the actors. the actors look worse than they actually are. And thats not good if you want to have a good future as a actor and not end up in some Steven Seagal movies.

While also taking those seen as oppressors down. It's basic class warfare but with a twist of racial/gender/sexuality, identity politics. Do you know who the "oppressors" are?

People still do not get it! They aren't actors, but hired ACTIVITST, disguised as professional actors, who spread MARXIST propaganda. As long as people will think this is some kind of fairytale, it will only get worse because nobody expects this to happen (so no action can or will be taken against this deviate degenerate development).

We have a word for this in german: fremdschämen! It means "to feel embarrased for somebody else". This is how I feel when watching actors and writers and everyone else who is involved in this mess and trying desperately to defend this bullshit which is actually an insult to intelligence.

Watched the first episode yesterday and I'm already having thoughts if it's worth continuing..

The potential we’ve could’ve had. Maybe show how the elves got to this world, maybe show the Vran the lizard civilization that was here. More of this world’s original inhabits. Like dopplers, Lutin’s and Godlings. Or maybe the actually origin of Ciri , Lara Dorren and why some love and respect her and why others hate her. Maybe show why the elves that came here broke up into two clans in the first place. But nah we just get a kinda shit original story.

Checking their boxes, then patting each other on the back, is all they care about. Just about everything coming out is horrible.

I’ve played the games and watched the first two seasons. They should have done the origin like a horror story where humans are dying in droves by monsters, then mages and knights form the. First children Witcher’s through cruel experiments and hard trainings. The story would then follow those young ones slaying monsters only to end with them establishing the different Witcher school.

I started to watch Ep1, but then I got out my chair to let in my cat,. I also made some coffee, as I felt no need to hurry to get back watching it. I decided that cleaning out the catbastards litterbox, folding clean socks and taking out the trash before bed was more important. Never finished it. I felt I was watching some Uwe Boll version.
