Geralt's "Uh yea we won't let that happen" is obviously great, but consider the fact that Jaskier literally just saw a friend on the side of the road, stopped to chat, and nearly died because of a genie. A hectic life to be sure
@@miavelie2627 Jaskier called it a genie, so out of respect for the nearly dearly departed, I followed suit. "Died because of a djinn" is also a bit too close to a song lyric for my liking
To be fair that’s the world they live in. There’s tons of northern kings and lords, the land is pretty dangerous to travel because of fighting between lords or humans fighting elves. Then there’s the monsters to worry about which are admittedly slowly dying off but can still just randomly kill you. Everyone’s lives are hectic lol.
My favourite thing about all this is if you see Joey Batey's physique he's built similarly to Henry Cavill, yet the show does a great job of making him look fairly small and vulnerable with the clothing.
I think they have a love/hate relationship. She did risk her life and missed her boat to save him, so he'd be a huge jerk if he wanted to see any harm come to her.
1:48 Geralt grabbing Jaskiers arm to help him balance never fails to make me smile 😭 Geralt may act like he doesn't care but Jaskier is probably the closest person he has to a normal human friend. Geralt can't deny that despite Jaskier being an annoying twit, he stills loves him all the same
One of my favorite scenes in season two is in this! It's when yennefer rescues jaskier from the fire dude... and pretends to be drunk. That scene made me laugh so hard
I love when actors who are supposed to be playing injured characters, actually make it believable that they're scared. It's a lot harder to do than you would think. When Jaskier hears the elf healer say that he may die, and Jaskier reacts to that, you can see and hear panic and fear in his eyes and voice. That's not easy to do. Showing strong emotions outside of maybe joy is difficult to fake. Even when acting.
I’m reading the books and I kinda prefer book Gerald’s reaction. He’s genuinely afraid for his friend. Almost threatens violence to get him help and carried him a full day in his arms to get him help. Meanwhile show geralt is like “meh he doesn’t he does”
Oh my gods, real. The acting absolutely carried in the show, but I completely loved their relationship a bit more in the books, honestly. Geralt has the thing that makes it difficult to express emotions, but he isn't a complete stoic, y'know?
Amazing how when they were on the run after Rience, Jaskier's finger wasn't even blistered from being burnt by Rience when he held up his hands at various times and he didn't even wince when placing his Jaskier hands on his Jaskier hips as Jaskier is wont to do. Actually, aside from a little bit of facial blood he didn't even look that bruised up. I would have thought for a bard who plays music a fire blistered finger would promote some concerns and protests and whinng but Jaskier handled it rather well. 😂
It happens all the time in this kind of tv shows and it’s always annoying. Jaskier has been punched and burnt and yet looks perfectly fine after leaning on Yen for a short escape.
@@malvaashdown lol it's the annoying 'tv logic' for me🤦♀️😂 maybe the show's directors thought that Yennefer healed him or something and that would excuse it haha
@@gabrielaciepy7075 She had no magic at this point, though... It's like you say "tv logic" or as we call it in French "facilité scénaristique", the lazy writing to keep the story running. I get why, but still, annoying.
In s3 you can very briefly see the burns on his fingers outside of the spike door. It disappears later but you can kind of see or. Also! You can still play instruments with burn scars, according to the googling I did.
Love him, he's my second favorite. Sure he annoys people but he's loyal to his friends even throught the damsel in distress is his job. Sometimes he comes off as, I don't like u, u are crazy or too much trouble for Gerald but I'll still be a gentleman about it.
@@ladykatie3958 What you’ve heard is true… except for dandelion (jaskier). He’s got a very generic modern American accent and about as much personality as a loaf of white bread.
@@bandanimals3710 the only thing that sticks out is the crimson avenger moment, admittedly funny, and the whole tavern thing. Is there something else I missed?
@@candidlyopinionated19Him making sure Priscilla is safe after the attack and he can save Geralt in Toussaint if you get the jail ending. Granted this is also a dandelion who has grown as a person and gotten to be more responsible and even impresses Geralt with how he genuinely wants to run a cabaret properly
