Ah yes, totally the elves of legend of undetermined origin. 🙄

There's also that one recent revelation by a former producer that many on the writing staff actively disliked the source material and sought to replace it. That would've been a constant pain in the ass for a true fan and lore hound like Cavill.

It's just weird that it tends to only cover the female side. I've also noticed that with games for PC and consoles with a bunch of western larger developers. With the Witcher S1 it was just so obviously cringe. These women all should have looked like a classic selection right from the catwalk of...

Another thing I've noticed is that for the Witcher's first season and Wheel of Time (and in general much of the more woke stuff) how unimpressive lots of the female casting has been, going by their optics. Basically, every cheap Christmas hallmark movie ever manages to come up with prettier...

Honestly, I have no idea. Based on every objective metric this should rank way above the first season. The overall plot is better structured and executed. This in turn allows for the subplots to come into their own as well. The actors really have anchored themselves in their roles. I know I...

Okay, I watched season 2, and it's a massive improvement over season 1.

A kid friendly Witcher series? What's next? A porn series without sex? 🙄

Game of Thrones for all of its faults had a way bigger cast - main characters, secondaries, and extras - than The Witcher and managed to achieve far better production values all around, with better CGI, larger and better sets, better costumes, you name it. And it only ended up costing as much as...

By now that's about as plausible as everything else.

I find it incredibly sad and funny and annoying in equal parts how Netflix keeps missing the mark on this out of sheer wokeness. This is just the most recent proof of that. Even if we were to ignore the obvious elephant in the room for a moment - that the races featured in the relevant part of...

Honestly, at this point I'm not expecting all that much anymore. I'll already be happy if they cut the incompetent hopping between time lines in Season 2.

Don't you know? Eastern and central Europe are known for their vast quantities of African and Middle Eastern natives...

I see Lauren S. Hissrich is staying true to herself. For reference, Philippa Eilhart (Netflix) and Philippa Eilhart (Games/canon; and don't dare say otherwise: the games are the visual benchmark). My god, I can hardly tell them apart! /sarc off.

That actually describes it really well: it's equally slow and overly rushed. It barely, if ever, finds a good pace.

After having fired up The Witcher 3 again to start a new playthrough, and while I’m still working on a full color map of the northern kingdoms for fun, I felt it was time to revisit my earlier statements about Netflix‘ The Witcher. I’m going to call it Netflix The Witcher: It’s Really Not That...

Soooo, having finally watched the full season, I can say I was pleasantly surprised, by and large. Geralt and Yennefer really stood out, and I have no reservations left whatsoever about Anya Chalotra, darker skin tone or not. She manages to radiate the sort of maturity that Yen should have...
