Netflix The Witcher TV Series on Netflix

Well,I read polish short novel,when in movie from 2050 black polish king with his trans knights defeat Teutonic Order in 1410 in the name of tolerance.

I'll wait for the sequel when they run down the Ottoman Turks in 1683 in the name of Acceptance.

Ottomans would be of course white christian there.Islam is religion of peace,after all!
And third movie,when in 1920 they fight soviets in the name of ...Lenin probable was pederast,so no lgbt....maybe wicca religion? We fight in the name of Holy Mary,so all we need for movie is change Holy Mary with wicca.
If leftist in Poland was patient and do not rushed things,all that would be possible.
 
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.

Look at that from positive point of viev - we at least could not be didappointment anymore,becouse nobody expect anything good anymore.
 
I just heard that Netflix in addition to the upcoming Season Two, will also be creating a prequel series that takes place 1200 years prior to the events of the current television series, Witcher: Blood Origin. I learned about this because Twitter is abuzz about how Michelle Yeoh has been cast as a 'sword-elf' in said new series, the last survivor of her tribe or some sort.


Apparently the prequel was announced late last year and will be a six part series.
 
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 the continent range from northern European to southern European phenotypes (if we're generous!) and Michelle Yeoh is undeniably Asian: she's also old. Yes, not granny-like old, but too old. Elves are supposed to be relatively ageless and beautiful, even in the Witcherverse. The same rings true with dryads, so Netflix at least consistently shits the bed there...

Also, if this deals with the conjunction of the spheres, how can it possibly deal with the creation of the first Witcher? The conjunction was around 1,500 years ago, IIRC. Witchers only came about when the northern lands were settled by humans, a process that started around 760 years ago in universe, if I've got my dates remembered correctly. So, from the get go this makes no effin' sense!

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it was going to take place in a high school as well.

Henry Cavill alone was paid $400,000 per episode for The Witcher. That's 4% of the budget right there.

$10,000,000 is ultimately not a lot for a 60 minute per episode series. That's what, $160,000 per minute?

Hollywood blockbusters are frequently $1-$1.5 million per minute these days.

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 The Witcher by season six, IIRC. Even if we account for Cavill consuming the total sum of Europe's annual protein shake production, we got significantly less quality bang for the buck than with comparable genre productions, with mediocre writing at best. Just contrast the visuals of the GoT dragons with the ones we got in The Witcher. It's like putting a modern blockbuster against a 90s shlock series like Hercules.

The Witcher has already been approved for a Third Season even before the Second Season premieres on Netflix.


Also in the works of a more kid friendly animated series.

Everybody looking at this sideways and...Actually, I think this could work if they embrace it right.

I mean, nobody would argue Mortal Kombat or, like, Killer Instinct (oh no...am I dating myself with this reference?) weren't 'kid-friendly' in a very certain way. They were accessible, they were relatively easy to understand plot/'plot' wise, and they were cool. Doing that with the Witcher universe could work. 'Witchers versus the evil monsters'' works as child friendly, you just hafta sideline the sex and political intrigue aspects.

Well,if they do not show blood only falling monsters,it should worked.
And,besides,good old fairy tales cpuld be quite cruel.As a child i read about girl who sell matches and cried after that.Just like after real story about mermaid,not that american abomination.
