I’ve read all the books and the Witcher 3 is one of my favorite games and I genuinely love this show and I think season 3 is off to a great start. I don’t get all the hate either. I just see this adaptation as something different from the books. Obviously, I have issues with the show and I agree that they completely ruined the blood of elves storyline, but I really don’t get all the hate.
I don’t think this season is anywhere near as bad as season two. I actually really liked the first episode and the ball episode (despite some changes and weird design for POV on the ball episode).
I love this seasob so fkfjfj much thank you for making the wait until part 2 more bearable HOW MANY TIMES CAN I REWATCH THE SAME SHIT N STILL LAUGH DKDJDJDJDHD
However, i'm happy you still enjoy it. Show is nonsensical, often contradicts itself, adds more and more completely unnecessery plots that do not have any consequences (meaning that it often ends the same way it begins). It is completely ignpring source material, even disrespects it. And as slavic person, i feel deeply offended. When Philippa is spanking Dijkstra, i just cringed. It's some of most disgusting and unnecessery things i've seen on media. A lot of things are done specifically to spite book readers. And ofc, writers activily hate books. With that said, your opinion is valid. U have every right to like this show and i can understand why. If u watch it with no expectations, no knowladge of real lore and without too much worry, this show can be rather enjoyable. However, it is not good show. It fails at so many things and sometimes it completely doesn't have sense. Acting is sometimes straight up cringr and bad. U have right to subjectivly dissagree, however these are pretty much facts.
@@geraltofrivia7456@ geraltofrivia7456 I may call you a nerd. why be so serious? everyone has their own interpretation and their own taste for a story. you don't get a guarantee for a pure book-based adaption, no one promises that. In fact, you are being present an entertaining show. if the market is against it, the show will only be a loss to the showrunners. the fans can always turn back to the books and games and they can just ignore the show as if it never exist if they think it is terrible otherwise more discussion and criticizing and trolling will only help it gain more traction.
Give them a try. If you like the core concepts & characters of the series, and actually like it combined with good writing, the books and games (primarily Witcher 3) are an amazing experience.
I have never read the book, but i do know somwthing about them, played all the games. But i take the Netflix’s witcher as a witcher inspired story. As something that was made up inspired by The Witcher.
With adaptations from whatever the source material was (books, games, movies, comics etc.), I always try to think of the different version(s) as alternate universes which might not have unfolded the same as in the original telling. It makes the disappointment easier if a favourite scene or character is done differently.
That’s not a bad way to think of it, while I do wish I could’ve gotten accurate game/book for the show, I did enjoy this season the most (the other two weren’t really preferable to me) I wanted to imagine it as like an alternate/ inspired world of the Witcher, makes the show more enjoyable. But I still dislike sometimes how contradictory the show can be in itself.
