Book/Game Geralt Meets Netflix Geralt 

wasn't he fired?

​@@lawsen3719no he wasn't fired

​@@lawsen3719no he told them if they stick with source material he will do it least 6 seasons but in season 3 he quits and told people he has others things but people know its bullshit because he loved the game and books of witcher.

@@-GHOST--ci4hoI’d quit too, it’s the same shit as the Halo show, the writers either hate the source material or don’t know shit about it, leads to what we see, nobody liked it, Henry was good but that can only take a show soo far, I respect him leaving, I would too no matter how much I would be paid to stay, money ain’t worth ruining your favourite things over

@@lawsen3719🤓🤓🤓

Yes, that's the joke, good job bud

at least he isn't being forced to do another few seasons, thankfully... :(

Thats why he was in 3 seasons? He doesn't see what shit is scenario?rofl,he doesnt care about that,he just cares about money

@@user-hm2ux1bg4l he fought and argued with them, until they kept making it worse. So he left. If it was about money then why not I don't know stay and make more money if it's just about that.

@@Obi-wan5991 he saw scenario so just stop trying to say that cavill love witcher universe.He saw all dat bullshit ,but keeps casting untill the end of 3rd season

and bi-sexual

Shrek and Donkey 😆

You mean Shrek and gay donkey. The gay part is very important to Netflix.

Jeskier was one of Gerald’s only true friends. Sure Eskel Vesemir and Lambert are his friends but Jeskier was really the first person he came across on his travels and became friends with. Gerlalt May sometimes act like he wants to kill him but they genuinely are friends.

yes! i was so shocket when geralt hit him in the first season. book geralt would never do that to him right?

Also he not neutral at all he always helping his friends and actually cares about people

​@@user-vv3zc9il9khe used to be neutral but then decided he couldn't be anymore.

@@user-vv3zc9il9k I mean the whole point of the "Lesser Evil" story is that Geralt can't be neutral, because if he doesn't make a choice, it will be made/forced on him by the actions of others.

Also the series portrays Geralt as serious all the time. In the games Geralt is more deadpan and sarcastic.

What hurts the most is that Henry actually made a really good Geralt. He tried Sadly, he was the only one who did

that made me sad

@@DiamondAppendixVODs - On the bright side, now that Cavill's free from the hellish Witcher and Superman crews, he's working on being executive producer for a Warhammer 40K adaptation! (Which is another franchise he loves.)

@@KlutzyNinjaKitty the best part is that since he's executive producer he has direct power over the writers about how faithful they have to be, and that is alongside how protective Warhammer itself tends to be of their Source material

Not protective enough sadly, or rather as far as I know, they've kind of been putting people through hoops by giving them partial licenses, so then the creators of original works tend to deviate more from the source, because they don't have license to use parts of the setting. A bit similar thing that happened to rings of power. So yes, if a show is done directly for WG and they are not selling the license to somebody then cool, but then you also get budget constraints. Oh and let's not forget that atrocious animated movie... One of their best writers on it and it was terribad.

what a nightmare. To get paid millons of dollars for a bad adaptation of a novel you kind of like. Hopefully he can make it through.

@@andy91218 Man stfu. We don’t get paid millions to be fans and they shit all over Sapkowski’s work. He’s as big a fan as anyone else.

@@andy91218 Paid to destroy what he loves

I think he said he likes The Witcher, but still, a nightmare? There are a lot of nightmares in life, but being payed an incredible amount of money to do something you don't fully like is not one of them. People here tend to exaggerate a lot.

@@andy91218 What he earned from this show is probably nothing compared to his previous ones. Besides, there are things people care about more than money. Probably Henry wanted to be a part of something he loved, but what could be called a nightmare came true, and instead of satisfaction he received woe.

The issue is that the Geralt in the show is literally nothing like the Geralt in the books. They have more or less zero similarities. So he was already playing a shitty, made-up version of a character.

Geralt in the games also nothing like in the books.

​@@Hjartulv not as far off as Netflix

The actor of yennifer said that also "No one fits the role better" then Henry

@@CatBug1100 Yeah but actress of Yennefer doesn't fit Yennefer either. She should look and behave more like Tissaia does - with more grace. They learn it in school (they're gonna advice kings, ffs), and by that point she was already pretty old, too.

I was so excited to see grand views and some of my favorite monsters out in their habitat. We got got about 5 minutes of that and the rest is yapping and drama. Sucks to see

Actually season 1 and 2 are pretty solid you seen them? just cause lore aspects are different does not mean its wrong. Its just a narrative retelling interpretation of an origional tale. The video is the show how when you think its bad it can really far worse

@@inyalgaico1563 I saw season 1 before reading the books, season 2 after. Season 2 was frankly insulting; they just threw out the story from the books and decided to tell their own, far worse story. To give one example, Yennifer should be a mother figure to Ciri and yet in the show she's just a complete asshole to her.

@@minerman60101 Yeah true that was pretty dumb

There's so much idiotic stuff going on in the series. It's straight up unwatchablw if you've read the books/played the games

​@@inyalgaico1563 there is something despicable in my mind, about screenplay writers working on shows based on beloved fantasies series, deem themselves better then the original writers, and deciding that their ideas and concepts are more worthy of screen time. Its insulting to the original writers. See Wheel of time, Rings of Power, The Witcher. Hell even other fantasy worlds from different mediums such as halo, Marvel, and Star Wars. There is something insulting in implying that the original writers work is offensive in some way and must be altered or changed regarding; the fundamental rules of the world, characterizations and the worlds Lore. They want to have the freedom to use the world as a sandbox, they want to change things and play with things and alter things to their heart content. They wish to inject their own personal themes and ideas and replace the original themes and ideas. They want to make their own fantasy world but are too lazy or uncreative to do so. These are not people wanting to make fan fiction, the result is bad fan fiction as a result of them, not failing to understand the original concepts, but rather understand them and being bothered or disinterested in them. Its disgusting how its propagated itself so thoroughly through Hollywood

@@korpakukac mate wtf

I said it on a different comment but somehow I really enjoyed the show. Since I never played the game or read the books I thought it was fine. Just really shows that if you let the source material go you can enjoy adaptations far more.

"Game Geralt"? Where is he?

​@@piotrt4786the one dressed in white

Thats a book adaptation not game adaptation lol

​@@stanislawbien5368maybe read the title of the video "book/game"

"I am Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan 117." Correct...so far... "I take off my helmet frequently, and I'm completely betraying the UNSC." Aight, I'm out.

She IS in danger for the most of the books, so they didn't need to invent anything. They should just fucking stick to it.

I feel like if they went with that people would complain and when she did get her character development they would say “see they finally fixed her after listening to us” Not saying I disagree I just know I’ll have to see that again

That actually was in the show? This sounds so off

@@lastchips7638 You get it. The reason boomer execs and producers go along with gen-x and millennial SJW nonsense on these projects isn't because they have the same politics. It's because what SJW's want to do is easier and cheaper. They'd both make every show slice of life with queer relationship drama as the only conflict if they could get away with it.

@@orenonawasteevie2068 he didn't, he said mortals

@@base21 he didn’t he said portals. you ninkumpoop

@@base21geralt always says he hates portals and it was right after the dude literally came out of a portal. also the subtitles say portal.

And he is also from a long line of tortured mutant that is on the decline and is torned between his will to never let what happened to him befall on another innocent personne and the dreadful fear of who he is , the witchers and their memory to disappear in the never ending wave of "progress". That why he would not even listen to the barmaid being like "oh can i pleeaaaaase be a witcher to" He is torn between his constant brush against fate and prophecy and his nihilisme about it. His entire relation with ciri and even yenefer is one of fate and prophecy made but then denied because "i don't believe in prophecy" (hell even the few thing we know about his mother is tied to fate and prophecy). That what make the world vibrant because we see it on a knife edge between technology and mystisim between fate and personnal choice ect ect

@@lavendersblue2580 have you done the short stories so? Last wish and sword of destiny?

@@Friday_WasTakenyup, I’ve read them both!

Sadly, that's just icing on the cake.

There's a google doc somewhere and a reddit thread that shows all the things that are different. It's rather long (tried to link but comment got deleted).

It's basically "Geralt and Ciri goes to Kaer Morhen.." and that's it. That's the end of adaptation. Rest of the season 2 is fan fic (and NOT a good one). They use names of characters and places and that's IT. Not one plot point from the books. Characters are completely different. Relations between them completely wrong. This list of diffrences on reddit are basicly scene by scene summary of the show. It's a dumpster fire.

Ya got no idea. Every episode even from season 1 alters the story completely. Adaption is one thing, it borders on awful fan fic.

@@ronaldood4678 I thought it was understood that it isn't even "fan" fic. It's just fic.

Maybe the creators of the show are/only interacted with, selfish miserable procks, and can't grasp the concept of genuinely good, sympathetic characters

Not everyone, specially white males

@@DiamondAppendixVODs bingo

​@@DiamondAppendixVODs Yup, look it up, the head writers didn't care or really know the books too well. Also doesn't help that they made fun of Henry.

"In a world filled with death, pain and misery, humanity still finds the capacity to do good" Hollywood: "no"

Really? I thought he didn't even try to.

😂 never noticed that.

I think swallow potions are only really used in the witcher games

​@@whyonthefall5373potions are much more rare in the books, as well as monsters and encounters with them. Geralt would probably not run out of the potions from the beginning till the end of the game if they decided to make it excessively lore-friendly.

Honestly, i don't think that would work. The potion would only close his wounds, but the thing is ..... Hi was almost killed by that man. His whole body was almost destroyed in that fight. He needed a potion? Probably..... But that wouldn't fix the problem. He had to rest and meditate.

@@BrunitoRammstein96 what I think is that driads provide much stronger medicine than a simple witcher's potion. They are healers, after all.

Definitely worse in the books

I just find it funny they think they can actually smear him. No one believes their BS. And why would anyone when they admitted to hating the sorce material. He's going to be successful, then they will call us all toxic because we don't like their garbage.

@@lunerlilly So, basically the whole shitshow about star wars new trilogy all over again? xDDDDDDDDDDD

@@themirror8994 yes where the only good thing out of that crap was the two storm troopers noping out 😂.

Jeezus. Don't think I ever got around to watching season 2... and I really liked season 1. Well, not crazy about the part where Geralt snaps at Jaskier for, essentially, having a streak of bad luck which partially rubs off on Geralt. But hearing all of this makes me not want to watch the rest... and that whole story makes me think Henry was right on the money for quitting. And they smear him? WTF?

That's hilarious. If they actually tried to smear him, I somehow missed it entirely. I wonder how many other people haven't even heard of that. I really hope nobody gave it the time of day, and just let the idiots keep burning all bridges in the industry, stewing in their own miserable shit.

Wasn't he fired..

@@callmesep9530 No, he left on his own

No easy money. Acting isn't easy, it's a job. Don't see how playing Geralt is any easier than anyone else

And the Australian Accent that we will 100% hear in his performance for Season 4. In Trailers of course, because it's not like anyone will actually watch the Show after Season 3...

This is why I hate portals was the cherry on top of the cherry

I stopped after 2

Yup! Game Geralt is cool and all good but Netflix Geralt is sometimes too harsh😁😁

@@BFNH459 sadly i havent played the game or books but i really love the idea of the witcher being a movie/series so i hope they can make it more book/video games accurate since i think that will be way better and badass and fun as heck.

And Eskel is avery neutral and likable character, they fckd him up on the show

"not about to take your word for it"

​@@justart4264 Yeah, all the witchers where actually likeable. They act like brothers... because they are the only family they know, not a bunch of jerks thath share work and get pissed because "ah, you ger it easy" They care for each other enought to be gratefull to see them alive in Kaer Morhen every winter, because they know any day could be the last time they see each other, and would never know what happend to them

Why are they adapting something, that they change so much, it becomes unrecognizable? Every single book adaptation suck because it has changed too much from original source... Can't they make their own IPs?

@@xKessa "Can't they make their own IPs?" and risk a bunch of money on an unproven franchise? Fuck no. There will be a good witcher adaptation in the future, don't worry

I'm guessing they take the job for the money. The real issue is the people hired them without vetting how competently they could use the story. It is likely just the typical problem of office politics.

@@hexcodeff6624 But they sink a bunch of money for the IP, then duck it up. When they duck up the source material and call all fans to duck off if they don't like their "reimagination" they could just go the original IP route. But I know, the intent is not to make something new or make money, it's to subvert and destroy as it's all evil can do.

@@iwankazlow2268 That's a pretty cringe take. This isn't about someone trying to attack you, the "real fan". This is people in a studio interested in selling more of their product (visual media) by using already existing IP. The priorities are the problem, not the intentions.

Didnt even notice it haha, thanks for pointing it out

"that's inexcusable"

On point!

Had to scroll too far for this 😂

Not really unbelievable. Just reread how much Yen care about her safety BEFORE she suddenly decide to find Ciri (it was in last book i belive). (spoiler alert - she didnt care).

@@AaSs-ln9mm for real, she wanted and was about to turn Ciri over to Emyr and Ciri called her out over it

I consider games 2 and 3 canon because they adapt so closely with the books so in that case Ciri did indeed refer to Geralt as her father in game 3

@@texasfuneral4787 They're only referring to the books. The games aren't canon at all. Just because you're insane and want to convince yourself of something that isn't true doesn't mean we're all going to play along with you. Now go take your pills.

@@AaSs-ln9mm what Yen was gonna do was give her to the lodge of sorceresses at this point she can't do anything about it, AND after the styga castle siege by Geralt, Emhyr agrees to kill both Yen and Geralt, it was an agreement by the three of them, Ciri even, but unfortunatly nothing could be done about it but ultimately Emhyr decides not to kill them. You read it properly?

Why? Netflix Witcher sucks period.

@@DidierWierdsma6335 he tried to make it better. But just like zack snider with superman, the netflix writers did not give a shit.

What was it?

Its why he played Geralt so well - he had that heartfelt aversion to all the onjustice around him

And then he had to promote it and talk how good it is too, it was probably hard to sleep at night after.

@@Synthia17 Considering the fact that he actually liked the way Seasoj 1 was, he was likely more than okay with promoting it. Hell went loose in Season 2, and in its interviews you can hear the promotion is quite forced on him.

@@TheCursedCat1927 Season 1 sure had its fair share of problems, especially to those who know what's gonna happen to some of the places and characters they used, writers sure don't. But it was still salvageable. It's not anymore and I hope netflix will just cancel it before they get their hands on characters like Regis, Cahir is already beyond saving and from what I read about Milva, seems like she'll be mistreated too.

Most creatives in Hollywood know they can’t create their own original content so they use popular IP as a medium to “tell their own stories” 🤦🏽‍♂️

I’m glad you were introduced to Witcher but the fact that the bar was as low as the Netflix show is incredibly depressing. Also the fact that listening to the last wish you were imagining the dogshit world building, casting, costuming, set design and choreography of the show..

Evil can only corrupt after all.

I wish I was trillionaire so I could get the witcher tv show rights from netflix or maybe just buy netflix lol.

The sad thing is that the 2002 one was bad because they knew the material, but lacked the budget and expertise to realize their passion. Netflix had the budget and (arguably) somewhat more experience with filmmaking, but completely hamstrung their every advantage due to their lack of passion for the material and understanding of the audience. One need only look to the overwhelming success of the MCU (or TW3!) to see what happens when passion and knowledge of the source material and its audience meets artistic competence and a large budget.

Try "Alzur's legalicy", a fan made witcher movie. Synopsis: Quarter the century after the Rivian Pogrom (the very last events from the Witcher Saga) Kaer Morhen, an old keep of the witchers from the school of the Wolf, is being attacked. Leader of the assault is a mighty warrior - Agaius. A few years later from Aretuza, newly rebuilt school of the sorceress, runs Ornella, who has been suspected of finding the legendary Alzur’s Almanac. In pursuit comes Triss Merigold, with help of an old bard, Dandelion, his bastard son Julian and Lambert, the last monster slayer, seeking for revenge.

I have a soft spot for the old Wiedźmin show. Maybe it is nostalgia, maybe it is Netflix making me like the old show more than I should, but disregarding a few episodes that were completely unrelated to the books, I thought they did stories like the golden dragon, the story of Renfri, and Geralt and Ciri reuniting much much better than Netflix. It isn’t perfect but there was still a heart and care in that old show. The TV show version at least, the movie was a mess. Not perfect but I enjoy it far more than Netflix. Also yes “Alzur’s Legacy” is very good. Pół Wieku Poezji Później in Polish. It even brings back Zbigniew Zamachowski from the old Wiedźmin series as Dandelion/Jaskier.

thought I was the only one. I find Witcher season 1 to be very mediocre. (Season 2 was even worse, couldn't make it through episode 2) And that was even before I touched the games. The games were brilliant. Haven't read the books tho.

Percy Jackson Fans: "Sucks doesn't it." Games of Thrones Fans : "Atleast your characters got character-assasinated in the beginning."

And even then Cavil had to FIGHT to get them to let Geralt speak more

@@Nomadith while in S1 it was his decision to have Geralt talk less.. which is odd.. I wonder if the script was that bad that he'd rather not speak much or just felt that grunting is more Geralt-like for some reason

@@Patrix8558 I didn't recall it being his choice, if anything Interviews point to the contrary.

@@Nomadith yes, in interview it was said (by him or showrunner.. or I think it was mutual interview and they both said it) before release of S1 that it was his decision and then also theirs. By the time S2 rolled around and after seeing the backlash, he pushed again, but in opposite direction, to give Geralt more lines. But less talkative was his push in S1 too.

To be fair, he's not super talkative in the games. A lot of smalltalk and discussion about monsters and stuff, but I wouldn't call him talkative.

The good old corporate bullshit

They actively stated they don’t care for the source material. The show runner actively dislikes the books. She’s a just another Hollywood clown pushing her own shitty writing onto an existing franchise.

Standard scummy tactic taken right from disgusting politicans. >Tell everything people want to hear to get them to buy/watch your bullshit >profit

Then how could you be a fan of the games? That veered from the source material JUST as hard.

@@tyrongkojy They wrote a new story for a timeframe that didn't have one yet. That is the difference.

No, it was shit from the episode 1.

​@@valdemariv394 it wasnt. The whole show yes, but Cavil as Geralt was enough of a reason to bear through. Its like Jackman being Wolverine, RDJ being Tony Stark, Tobey MAguire being Bully MAguire... it was good enough to bear through that BS of a storywriting - he was that authentic. Netflix Witcher was 99% shit and that 1% of awesomeness was pure Cavil/Geralt.

@@UndisputedONE2 Cavil is a great Superman too but that doesn't change the fact that both Superman and the Witcher show are both flaming dog doodoo.

​@@saltycat662 i agree on Witcher being dodo and Cavil doing great as both MC#s. But i cant agree on MOS being bad. People feast on the show being to "dark and serious" to be a superman movie but i liked the portrayal of Superman in man of steel actually even as the best superman movie. in MOS he is portrayed most accurately as he would be a planetkilling entity as he is. Im not even talking about Superman as a character but the sheer raw power of the fights and the destruction that comes with it. Im not downplaying superman movies from golden era they are indeed amazing. I liked nearly all the adaptions. as a comic nerd who likes to discuss on battle vines which protrayal of Supes is the strongest comparing him to other entites... MOS just feels right for me plotwise, visually and especially through Cavil. Plus in this case the writers didnt hate Superman like Netflix writers hate on the Witcher .

@@valdemariv394 I read the books thanks to season 1 so only because of that, it was not a shit from episode 1 as you said. Several episode is the first season are really good.

The Expanse. But that's really only because the writers of the books wrote the show.

Well time to pray for the Percy Jackson serie... (Even if the cast should be changed in my opinion to be mmore accurate to the books)

@@lagrosseroue5618 prayge

@@jatzi1526 Yep, this is the one. In fact the TV adaptation massively improved on some characters. It's about as good and accurate as an adaptation can get.

accuracy is whatever sometimes things have to change for practical reasons sometimes its best they change because the source material could be improved or because of differences in mediums. the problem is that the show is fucking garbage not that its different

There is even a new quest with the new update so go for it.

Eh scenes from first book was not all that much changed in first season of the show though.

@@Botar48 Not really, imho the whole destiny thing was very different. For example, in the show Geralt and Ciri only meet once, after they both look for each other - not really much of a destiny there. In the books, they meet each other by chance several times (first he just saw her, not knowing which one of the kids is her, or even if any of them is; it was an audience with the queen, who understandably denied any contact, let alone taking her, and Geralt was kinda relieved by that too; next time he brought her to Mousesack himself after randomly finding her in a druid forest), and the last time is literally another Child of Surprise thing (it's a pretty funny scene, because the guy who Geralt saved said that his wife is actually barren and can't have more children (which is why he agreed to the Law of Surprise), and then they arrive to the hut and his wife comes out and says "our three children will come home soon" and he's like "what three children? We had two?" and she says "I hope you won't be angry, I took in this little orphan from the druids..." and yes, that was Ciri), and that was after he decided to stop looking for her around Cintra. Their hug made more sense there, too, because they knew and talked to each other earlier. You can see how Geralt wasn't really aiming to get her, and their encounters were clearly all by destiny. Also the Jaskier & Geralt relationship is very skewed, Jaskier is treated very badly by Geralt for no reason. In the books it's very clear they're friends, even if they're kind of an "odd couple". It gets better in later seasons though.

@@tymondabrowski12 I said first book and first season. I haven't even read the rest yet I am procrastinating. Ciri didn't really appeared in the first book. Just the story of how Gerald earned her before her birth.

Might be a bit much lol

The big things I caught: Geralt and Yennefer think of Ciri as their daughter in the source material/games, like a found family unit, so those scenarios where they put her in danger or sacrifice her are unthinkable. The wolf school of witchers isn't making any more witchers, so Vessemir wanting to put Ciri through the mutations makes no sense. Basically, the mutations have a 90% mortality rate, which means a lot of kids die just for the chance of making one witcher. The world doesn't really need witchers anymore, so the wolf school stopped making more. It's actually what puts the cat school in a bad light, they're still making more witchers, killing more kids, and they're working as hired assassins rather than monster hunters. Their whole morality system is questionable at best, giving them a bad reputation. Hope this gives some context to some of that! :D I'm not finished with the game yet so far, but I'm enjoying it a lot.

@@hawklegs6940 All they had to do was create original main character, maybe even from cat school and make our beloved characters apear here and there doing own things/sometimes helping main cast. Maybe even making Geralt chase after protagonist, hunt him down and then going own way after finding protagonist hidden motive.

I've played 10 hours of witcher 3 and am lost as well.

@@freespeech3817 But then how would the writer staff prove they're better than everyone else?

Hard to say

Accurately inaccurate

Book!Geralt becomes depressed and a bit edgy at one point but his teammates are there to cheer him up and to keep him motivated.

Like, if that scene happened in the game, that's exactly how the dialogue writers would phrase it out.

​@@mudshrooze It's not a cartoon filter, it's hand traced/drawn frame by frame. Takes a lot of time and patience, but overall pretty simple.

I don't know anyone who "loves" it, best praise I heard is it's "ok". And that was before season 3.

Good lord. Holy crap. As a Pole, I felt terrible reading this.

The books are great, the game is not bad but it's no match for the original story.

Yeah no worries the books really have just surface level similarities with show definitely worht a read.

Before anyone here overpraise it, there are occasional passages of pure politics which may not be to your taste, depends on how much you like politics, so that's something to keep in mind.

@@Karak-_- why does it read like its a con when its a great wordlbuilding passages showing that even though Geralt influences world politics he is just a very small cog in a big machine. He is a protagonist of his story but not the main character of the world.

"Game Geralt"?? Where is he?

@@piotrt4786 Game Geralt and Book Geralt are basically the same the games were fairly accurate

@@chandllerburse737 you're wrong and you've probably never read "The Witcher" books if you say so

@@piotrt4786 explain their differences then the games i mean at least match the books far better than the show. And combining works fine since the books are canon to the games even if the games aren’t to the books. Most of whats in the books as far i understood works fine in the games

@@piotrt4786 also its pretty clear this video was also combining game geralt and book geralt i mean the character model has a beard which if i am not wrong is mostly a game thing Geralt was clean shaven in the books

What Yennefer did was even worse. She literally allowed Ciri to get demonically possessed, all so that Yen could get her magic powers back. (The writers had her lose her powers after the end of season 1)

Wanna know something else? Vesemir stabbed Ciri in the stomach with a dagger.
