The Witcher (Page 3 of 4)

I was done after season 2, kinda sad to see it's still airing. I thought it died after Cavill's exit.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Killing Monsters

12 Years ago...that's how it's done

I think the general consensus is it did actually die when Cavill left due to the writers & show runners actually hating the source material.

Yes, the books. The games play after the main + side stories of the books.
They are still following the main story - with a lot of twists and turns - they just don't tell it very well.

Season 4 will cover (imho) one of the best parts of the books. So my fingers are still crossed they learned something from their mistakes. They definitely had enough feedback to do so

It looked okay, if it were a show not titled "The Witcher" I would give this a shot as well.

What put me off the most is his voice though, like Liam Hemsworth didn't even try to match Henry Cavills tone of the character.
Especially that line "Let's fucking move"...sure, something Geralt would say but just not in that tone.

My original thought was ' No Cavill, no Witcher', but unfortunately theres bugger-all else on! btw The new superman was crap as well!

Season 4, Episode 1...it was OK - rushed though, pacing is way off.

If you haven't stopped watching during the third season, this episode shouldn't make you either.
The storytelling is pretty much the same. The overall story follows the books, there is just a lot more distraction there.
But I still miss Season 1 Jaskier...what a shame.

Liam Hemsworth is also ok...however...I can be completely wrong here but it sounds to me like they auto-tuned his voice to sound deeper?

And what I am missing is some actual dirt. Everything looks so clean, feels weird.

Season 4, Episode 1

I am probably overthinking this , but

Let's see if the other episodes bring some clarification

What a turn off.

Season 4x1 - If this season cost an eye watering $221 Million, why did they not back the camera the f@#k up and show it?  The amount of close ups would suggest they were trying to save money and cut corners, not spend it.  Who got the cash?

While the action scenes work well and the story is slightly more Witcher focused, Liam Hemsworth lands a caricature performance of Geralt that's hammed up, comical, and disengaging, and there is far too much screen time needlessly spent on secondary characters that should only serve as window dressing to a Witcher contract.

Like I said before, the story isn't interesting enough to be a serial but works perfect as a procedural, all they have to do to entertain the audience is this simple outline:

1. Geralt gets a contract.
2. Geralt tracks a monster.
3. Geralt plans how to kill a monster. (The bulk of the story)
4. Geralt kills a monster.
5. Geralt gets paid and acquires new equipment, and develops new abilites to use on another monster in the next episode.
6. Geralt hooks up with sorceresses.
7. Repeat for 10 seasons.
8. Make back your $221 million.

The outline above will make money.  What they have done, will not.

Looking forward to The Witcher 4 by CD Projekt RED:  The Witcher 4 - Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo
