hey hey hey hey, jaskier is always fun to have on the screen, usually best with geralt, but I quite like the character. (did not play the game or read the book)
@@chriscunningham8703bingo. Anyone who watched the first season on purpose is just about as gullible as the people still watching. Everyone knew what was coming and the first season was awful as well
I feel bad for Henry. His career has taken a beating due to the foolishness of others. Dude looks like Superman and that went to hell. The Rock brings him back in order to service The Rock and then Black Adam shits the bed and Henry is publicly fired. Now, this. What the absolute hell is going on? If this dude was around in the 50s-60s, he’d be treated like a god in Hollywood. He’s handsome, he has talent, he’s good to the fans, and he’s a gentleman with NO CRIMINAL CHARGES AND NO #METOO ALLEGATIONS. Why is this dude being punished? Did he refuse to sleep with someone and this is some revenge plot?
He can be just fine, if he is truly a strong decent man and I believe he is, then he should tell pedowood to kindly fruck off forever, the future for the few actors who still have balls spine and integrity is 3rd party support making and distribution, he has plenty of his own resources to work on any future project he chooses to make actually good and well written and true to the source material if its something of that nature, get like minded allies and support to help fund it, and film it and release, bottom line is thats the solution otherwise they just gotta be pussys and weak spineless cowards like Harrison Ford or well any man who agreed to do that barbie movie for example and continue to be pawns and cowards for deviant fanatics Neo marxists Femi Bolsheviks and sodom worshippers, the choice is his and other actors or what few are left who still again have there spine there balls and integrity intact!.
Nah its not him specifically he's just an archetype of what the current pedowood establishment despises, as Disparu said a handsome strong masculine white normal man who isn't a deviant or a degenerate or a disgusting sodomy loving dumpster pumper, that's all it is, and hopefully he remains who he is and doesn't gravel or sale out like Harrison Ford and most Hollywood coward celebrities/actors do. 50s-60s Hollywood ain't ever coming back, the only solution is for the few legitimate actors and actresses left who aren't deviant deranged feminists or marxists or raging sodos and pedo scum etc to band together pool resources and work on there own independent projects funded by themselves as well as fans also sick of Hollywood bs, and they will be fine, but it is their choice ultimately! .
My guy, Henry is 40 years old and he's pushing that way already it's just the fact Hollywood is a piece of shit city and California being a piece of shit state and I hope it burns to the ground. It's infected by pedos and woke "activists" they don't care about anything but stroking their egos and flex on their money.
He's too good for this evil, spite-driven entertainment industry. Cavill is basically the "new guy" from the new guy meme in that he is looked down upon by evil leftists for the crime of being a decent/earnest person.
He's gotta a new movie coming. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, by Guy Ritchie. And so far, their marketing team is not doing a good job promoting the movie.
The funniest part to me about the casting director picking whales for the sorcerers is that she seems to believe that if women had access to magic they wouldn't use it to become thin and hot. Which is obviously absurd.
It was a point in the books that EVERY sorceress had cosmetic work because Kings don't want an ugly advisor. The actual use of magic drains energy and they could not retain fat. And they were all so vain since the girls were ostracized for being ugly, girls, or not politically useful to their families. Sorceress are the women who were ostracized, gained a chance to be seen as powerful, and then purposely used their appearance to gain more power. But they do not care about reality or book accuracy.
I guess the writer would depict a succubus as a 500 pound mongolian whale that happens to be transgender and wider than tall that rolls all over you until you die. And after it finished you, it will roll back into the ocean turning into a black mermaid with red extensions.
This is exactly what Sapkowsky told himself in the books "No matter how ugly or disfigured a woman was before when she became a sorceress the magic fixed all this and made her beautiful". So, yeah, the diversity of that kind is a clear and obvious contradiction to what the books say.
Women's innate nature is to make things about themselves. When a man wins the lottery, what does he do? He thinks to himself he can now start and provide for a family. When a woman wins the lottery, what does she do? She thinks to herself she can now divorce her husband because she doesn't need anyone anymore. That's the ultimate disparity between men and women. Women cannot care for others. Not even their children. 93% Of child support is spent on the mother, predominantly shoes and wine products, and no that's not a joke. Women only care about themselves. That's why there's so few female writers outside of self contained dramas and romances where projecting their own thoughts and experiences actually works. As soon as a woman has domain over an entire cast, each from different backgrounds with different motivations in a massively versatile world where so much is possible, they lose their grip, because they cannot empathize with people, especially men. That's why everyone just kinda acts the same. Women project themselves into everything and onto everyone.
The more I see those clowns ruin everything the more I understand ancient religions and empires putting all sorts of laws that prevented them from having any sort of power.
The only woman who has successfully shepherded an IP is JK motherfuckin’ based Rowling. If she wasn’t in charge of this, the new tv show would have Hermione as a trans girl or something.
It didn't feel like I was watching a big-budget medieval fantasy TV show. It felt like I was watching LARP game played by some ordinary people I see at Walmart everyday. Granted, there's a few, very few good looking people and one movie star (Henry Cavill).
When you realize that the last franchise that actually treated Henry Cavill with respect and didn’t cast him aside was Mission Impossible franchise and he played as a villain in just one movie. He deserves better, man. I wish Tom Cruise retcon the shit out of MI and bring him back as a recurring cyborg villain. Henry shouldn’t disappear into obscurity.
If Mr Cavill continues to have integrity spine balls and class, then he will be fine, think about it does anyone really think Harrison ford for example is in a good place or is actually pleased with his latest shit show movie? of course not deep down he likely has shame he was made a fool out of and he has exactly himself and only himself to blame, same as any other little weak coward who lets themselves be walked over by subversive blue haired femi bolsheviks or little deviant gay dumpster pumping pedowood elitists, its time for any actors with actual balls and spine and integrity to tell them "NO"!!!!!!!!!. I will not do this role unless you do so and so etc etc, and as for Henry Cavill hel only lose if he caves to them, he has the money and influence and can damn sure get the fan support to make any future project he desires! part of the solution going forward is off grid 3rd party projects and efforts! we do not need Holly/aka garbage aka pedowood to make jack crap all, just have to have actual men actors show some spine and balls and integrity and start making projects 3rd party style with like-minded allies /fans/ other outlets etc and go from there ya know. That is the way forward!.
Be pretty dope if noone wants to hire him, so he just starts streaming all his hobbies n playing with fans in the meantime before his next role. Think alot of young viewers would get alot out of a role model like that than the doofus streamers nowadays.
It felt like the writers really thought the fifth episode was their magnum opus, with the constant "all is not as it seems" song in the background. They just left out information from conversations and then after two repeats they showed the complete conversations. Brilliant.
I think a better example of all was not what it seems is an inspector calls, at the very start it was hinted of the characters true motives, in subtle hints like the fiancee who had an habit of anger, the father who was a bit cold and distant, the son who has hedonistic tendencies, the mouther cling to tradition, and the son in law who seem to come in and out, however we don't see it since it hinted in casual dialogue, it only when the inspector appear that things shake up, it a good play with a good twist.
This show gets compared to The Vampire Diaries a lot recently and let me tell you, the episode back in the day where there’s a whole plot to get rid of Katherine during a town event but then in the episode’s twist ending Elena gets kidnapped from the party? That was cooler than this.
The song itself is a banger, but the writers are such idiots that they didn’t think we would see through their bullshittery. We caught on to what they were saying with the song.
Season 1 got me interested in the Witcher. I started reading the books and imagined Henry Cavill as the book version. Along with reading the first two books, I played The Witcher 3 and it was absolutely amazing. Henry Cavill was an amazing choice and will always be geralt to me. I wish they did a better job in this show, I can't even force myself to watch season 3.
How did you not turn this trash off by S1? Ep4 is where I quit. That scene with Yennefer talking to the dead baby girl was enough misandry for a decade.
@@TheStraightestWhitest At the time I hoped it would improve, but I checked out after season 2. I'm just saying how it got me interested in the good stuff, not this garbage.
@@EldenLord1142 it was my first ever sighting of any witcher content. After reading some books and playing the game I came back and critiqued all the inaccuracies.
It's rather laughable since approximately 85% of retail purchases are statistically show to be made, or primarily influenced by, women. They tryin' to tell us women don't like money? Especially spending it? 😂
@@bloodrunsclear - They like it because they think that they'll be the ones dictating everything to everyone else while retaining all they have. Socialism is predicated on widespread naivety.
Hmm I wonder why season 4 has been put on ice for now 🤔 I hope this garbage is cancelled and this show runner never allowed to make anything ever again
If you go onto ANY forum, any comment section, any Facebook post, the comments are almost always the same. 'This show is dead the moment Henry steps away' And now that season four is delayed...they might be right
Henry leaving and the take down they tried to do of him feels so childish now when I think about it. Like Cavil was like, okay I'm gonna leave the show because you guys don't really care about my character. "Quick guys he's gonna expose us, come up with some random bullshit that we can release first so it makes it more difficult for people to believe him." Like they knew they'd look bad if they didn't at least try to tarnish his image first...
I have been a die hard Witcher fan since I first read the Last Wish in 2008. I refused to watch this show the second I saw the casting choices. Good decision on my part.
Yup it was good call man, and it'll sadly be the exact same with the upcoming Daredevil show not gonna watch a single damn second of it, and I have actually lost respect for the actors Cox and what's his name Kingpin dude for agreeing to it under these conditions, they should have flat out said sure wed love to do it under these conditions you bring back the actual original fricking primary actors, bring back bare bare minimum several script writers, choreographers, stunt men, and at the very least co work with the original showrunner from the Netflix series, if you agree to this then we have a deal...but nope Daredevil actor did try to get his stunt double on so credit for that but they said no and in the end its gonna be a subversive shit garbage show that is no less than 10000000 times worse then the amazing Netflix Daredevil series. Don't be a Harrison Ford! or frankly any actor/man who agreed to be in this Barbie movie! The choice is there's going forward!. And we do not need Holly/aka Pedowood to make and see good movies and shows.
God! I envy you now because you didn't see that abomination of a series. You can't imagine how they terribly slaughtered every character in the books 😭
@@phoenixdown5987Cavill was a pretty bad Witcher tho, he’s a fine actor nothing special but he physically doesn’t fit at all. His gruff put on voice was cringe as hell it didn’t sound close to natural. Ciri was the only decent casting out of the main 3 and she was still a couple years too old to be believable as the clueless scared 12 yr old fleeing cintra for her life. Somehow the really bad casting everywhere was the least of the problems lol. Absolutely terrible show
All that for the effin sake of representation. Yes, we have to represent fat people now too. I see fat people at Walmart every week, I don't need to see them on my TV screen playing as beautiful sorceresses. Being fat is not beautiful.
For the love of all that is good can we get showrunners that DON’T hate the material they’re working with?! That feels like the most basic setup to prepare for success.
Starting with warcraft, he is going to be a producer. Hollywood hates him so he wont be able to act anymore within the major studios, so he will make his own movies
@@Sparticulous yeah man no problem. Warcraft was supposed to be Warhammer game anyways but they ran into some troubles with rights so they made it into a completely new universe. But the WH inspiration is still there.
I had to read that Hissrich quote twice. *"(I said) I don't know if I can give the fans what they want. And Netflix pushed back and said, 'Don't worry about the fans. Remember, tell us the story **_you_** would tell."* A Witcher tv show, that isn't made for fans of The Witcher... It's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pays off for em.
"No one believes that these 400lbs whales are extremely attractive. Fuck me, if you cut them they would bleed gravy" They didnt even try to find the most attractive 400lbs whales for Christs sake
I think around this time in the books, Ciri was hanging out with some outlaws and Geralt was adventuring with a badass Elf archer chick, Cahir (who was a black knight style character no longer working for Nilfgaard, also Geralt only meets him at this point) and a friendly Vampire healer. Why can't we get this instead? The Wild Hunt was not even in this story, ever, at all. That was just in the games and I guess that is why they threw them in, but they make no sense, also not really sure why and how Geralt can stop such a god-like magical entity?
It is not the Witcher This is something that should be on the LGBTQ area. But to give it the name, Witcher, so they can get the fans and everyone else to watch. It's their own version of a gay Witcher story. Beyond disappointing
Man, nilfgaard being almost a totalitarian and extremely warlike and militaristic sure does has nice penintary care. Especially for mages, who Emhyr extremely disliked because they were scheming bastards
The antics of activists have done more to sour the image of certain groups in my mind than my "unconscious biases" ever did. By the way that's just another one of their brainwashing strats; attributing something they don't like to "unconscious bias", or "phobia" or something that morphs the opposing opinion into a mindless reaction, a "too stupid to realize they're stupid" or "they literally haven't even contemplated the issue" kind of argument. Yeah.. I'm sure if we all just stop and think about it we'll realize there's zero rational connection between fitness and beauty. 🙄
Yeah, funny thing is that making witcher more diverse for western people wouldnt even be hard - just cast slavic people in. But we're white so it wouldnt count, i suppose
The whole value of Gold… is that *IT DOESN’T RUST THATS THE POINT IT DOESN’T TARNISH!* That’s what *MAKES* it valuable, not just because it’s shiny. Jesus fucking Christ.
THIS line is so fucking incomprehensible to me HOW THE FUCK this type of thinking and approach even exists?! They’re not even pulling the whole “modern audience” bullshit, PRETENDING fans will like it. They just straight up KNOW and don’t give a fuck fans won’t like it: *"I'm not a fantasy writer, I don't think I'm the right person to honor this. I don't know if I can give the fans what they want. And Netflix-I love them for this-they sort of pushed back and said, 'Don't worry about the fans. Remember, tell us the story that you would tell."*
Yeah, 100% they just want every man in the show to fucking cry. I read the books a whiiile ago and played the games and dont even remmember one time Geralt cried. Like, he does show emotions to time to time but is SO rare. He can see his friends and lovers die and not even change his expression even if he says he's sad.
I gave up on it 3 eps in. Not nearly enough screen time for THE WITCHER in a show called THE WITCHER to keep me interested and most other characters are shit.
The thing that set me off on the whole store money to leave it to rust is well, you know copper, silver, and gold are precious metals and will never rust. Thats a property of only iron. Just the quality of writing is astounding.
Four episodes into the first season, I remember turning to my gal and asking, "Why do they keep showing us Yennefer?" She's a bigger fan of these stories than me, and even she was baffled. I just kinda fell off after that. Good thing, too.
I luckily had a friend who know more about the lore. He mentioned the same note, Yennifer having an odd amount screen time. And now i see, it was smart checking out early. 😂
2:08 this is the problem, netflix telling her this. so not just the showrunner, netflix itself is the problem. Maybe Lauren thinks Yen is the main character because Yen is a witch in her eyes, and she read it as The WitchHER
This "adaptation" is a bukkake of bad decisions made by activist first, incompetents second, racist third......and writers maybe. Henry Cavill deserves better and i hope "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" grants him that. Another great review of terrible stuff, thanks Reaper!
Henry was perfect as the witcher. The only positive is this show opened my eyes to the books. I now reading them, already I can see the issues with the netflix series. Such a shame because Henry is The Witcher, without doubt.
I read the books until the author made Ciri a homosexual rape victim. It seems like the games were the only good part of this series. Sticking to them would have been fun.
Stop being so sensitive. There is a reason stone crimes need to be described and words need to be named so everyone can test for themselves that something is evil or stuff
I only watched 3 episodes of season 3 lmao. Couldn't finish it. Didn't have the heart too. Ironic how I was the one so hyped when it first released years back. And binged it in one night with all my friends in our dorm room. Memories ruined.
They spent how much on this??? I had no idea the budget was so expensive. I'm not much of a conspiracy person but the budgets for shows/movies these days seems to be blowing up to an insane degree and I have to really wonder just where that money is going. Shows have remained mostly the same level of technical quality (effects and what not) as shows produced 10 years ago, however they are now producing less episodes/content per season with more filler garbage. The penultimate episode of this season of The Witcher was literally Ciri walking around a desert for 30 minutes??? The other 24 minutes of the episode was her tied up and then a short basic 30 second fight scene. Where is all the money going???
Well, they needed about two mil for the gold toilet seat, twelve for the actual toilet, and the rest went into the pockets they keep fondling themselves through as they turn good stories to $#!+.
The freaking hubris this writers have. They let their own agendas take over the writing instead of focusing on the source material. Who knew hiring people who hate the source material was a bad idea?
4:04 dude really? critiquing the casting directors bad decisions is completely fine but then going on to explicitly call the actresses (who are not at all to blame for the show being shit) "fat whales" and "ugly" was so uncalled for and disrespectful. out of all the things there are to focus on this is something you feel you had to point out? that the witches aren’t as hot as they’re apparently supposed to be??? wow…
If they were at all consistent with their character design, then Yennefer would still look like a hunchback. Why does she get the magical beauty treatment but none of the other sorceresses did?
I have no words to describe the shit show that season 3 is. I love the books and what they have done here.....I wanted to run out of my house screaming until I got season 3 out of my mind. I am still running
I just chuckled at how every dislikeable / evil person or feminine weak man is white. While every heroic or Righeous character was a minority or female. IT wasn't even remotely subtle. Clearly designed that way. Like it was insane how much of a mishmash the diversity was, to the point it just didn't make sense. Just predictable woke garbage. I tried to stick it through out of respect for Henry Cavill. But i don't think he could blame anyone for thinking this was trash. Honestly didn't think the first 2 seasons were that bad
I was so excited for the Witcher when I heard it was getting a Netflix adaptation but just like any adaptation in the modern era the story and characters are sidelined and degraded to push some political woke agenda that nobody is interested in. The genre is fantasy, it’s meant to not be realistic. It’s meant to be an escape but I have to sit and watch fat gross woman in roles that they got due to the political situation and watch the characters be turned into political debates like making jaskier a bender and Yen a feminist.
Funny enough, this show IS Netflix's Game of Thrones. As both are terrible adaptations that were written by pretentious pricks who don't know what they're doing, and both will be remembered as bad TV shows afterwards. I would not be surprised if after the series end, a lot of the actors will come out and make sarcastic remarks about the writers, just as it happened with GoT. You'll see.
When I played the Witcher 3, I was always in awe of the art direction, especially the wears, what the characters were wearing..it was marvelously medieval, the textures of the leather, the linen, the hoods....you're right, this show's costume design is hideous, talentless lot.
At least he gets a shot at war hammer now …… what has happened to entertainment ?!?! Henry cavill is a great actor everyone loves … but these companies keep wasting him
Good to see an indication that he has some producer role in the 40k thing, being as he's also a fan of it. Bodes well if the Intersectional Hollywood cult doesn't try to kill it off like they did with the prospective Conan series due to "toxic masculinity" or some other such BS.
