>We have a very, very good plan to introduce our new Geralt and our new vision for Geralt with Liam. Not going deeply into those ideas because this will be a huge spoiler, [but] it’s also very, very close to the meta ideas which are deeply embedded in the books, especially in book five.“

TOSS A COIN TO YOUR Black person!
Oh coinpurse is empty 0!0
Liam Hemsworth is like a 6'4", blonde/blue eyed Australian ubermensch
Yes, but only because they knew they couldn't change him TOO much. They can still makeup his skin paler and give him a white wig. Further they also know that an attractive and interesting Geralt was the only reason people even watched their slop and they are out of jobs if it doesn't work.
>and they are out of jobs if it doesn't work.
do you really believe that
these nepotist rats and ideological allies all float
I think maybe you don't actually understand what the term "blackwashing" means, anon.
never forget
Didn't that get deleted and she ignores anyone that brings that up with her?
>2018
jesus christ make it stop
the absolute chutzpah of these israelites
Their hubris is always their downfall. They are cursed with themselves.
Funny since casting a streetshitter as my waifu is what ensured I'd never pay for netflix. Years of support gone forever.
>blackwash
Hemsworth is definitely whiter than you, Mr. 1/64th Irish
Narrator: It wasn't lore accurate.
Since when do they care about the lore
DOA
>character falls into mud and dies
>gets resurrected
>being pickled in the mud changed him
As easy as 1, 2, 3, which is also what the ratings of this trash will be.
>pickled in the mud
Muddled
I didn't know Witcher had Time Lord regenerations
In the books Vilgefotz brutally beats him almost to death with a blunt cane and it takes the dryad's several months to heal him with their magic and salves, even then he has chronic pain for the rest of the series.
In the show his injuries will turn him into a Hemsworth.
*sigh* Somehow Geralt returned looking different
a redanian pickle
>lore accurate
Huh.
Ok, I’m cool with nuKorvo. That shit made me laugh.
Any other recasting decisions? No? Hmm.
Tell me more about lore-accuracy.
I could care less.
Couldn't* care less you brain dead moron.
How the frick is this not cancelled? You're telling me there's still money being sunk into this disgrace of an abortion while children are starving in Africa?
Nuke Netflix
Somehow they had enough money to blow on the prequel no one watched and 2 more seasons
>the prequel no one watched
I forgot about this gay shit. It feels like I just imagined it in a fever dream, lmao.
lmao they made a prequel? what the frick
I'm still convinced this is the aborted remains of that GoT prequel that got cancelled and netflix somehow got their hands on
so many of the scripts for low effort cash grab spinoff shows are formulaic and interchangeable piles of shit. i have no proof but i'm still convinced the script for the halo show was from the canned mass effect show. writers striking now against ai makes sense because their entire job has been essentially boiled down to madlibs where you just insert character names and locations. ai could do that for free with 0 trouble.
I've had this theory for a while. They just have some moronic script laying around that they bought for pennies from a troony at Starbucks, buy the rights to an IP for "free" advertising then change a few names to make it fit the script the troony script. Resident evil show was exactly this. Frick all of them.
>Resident evil show was exactly this
So is it a theory or is it a fact, anon? Oh...
Fact. I was the troony who traded a blow job for my meth fueled script in Starbucks bathroom
>So is it a theory or is it a fact, anon? Oh...
>resident evil show isn't about zombies at all instead it's about cloning
>characters don't interact like they would in resident evil verse and are meta aware of what they're doing
>only the names are the same
somehow anon thinks that someone wrote this up as a resident evil script and is allowed to vote and breathe the same as me.
Resident Evil thing is a bit different due to the Capcom lore behind it, combined with the movies (including the Sony one). Tho you may be right about the script itself.
The funny thing I remember is that it's not even part of the OG series, Netflix made fanfic prequel of sorts.
>So basically, a chink, a negress and a slav walk into a bar...
so did anybody watch this shit? I assume its on nf but no way I'm watching it
Do they think we believe that they've finally bothered to read any of the books?
It's gonna be some alternate reality geralt justified by the conjunction of spheres but it will be done in a moronic manner that only an incompetent blue haired slit can think up
People still watch this shit?
Barely anyone
>lore accurate
the fricking audacity lmao, bet this was said purely to spite henry
>nothing else in the show attempts to be lore accurate
You know it was.
>bet this was said purely to spite henry
That was my first thought and I'm surprised it took this many posts to point it out.
How did Geralt transform???
are they going to dr. who him
>says the witcher producers
And why would anyone trust them? They're legit morons
>lose your only draw on last season
>clutch your pearls and rely on your cadre of fellow wokesters to gaslight the internet about the show's success
Why does a recasting need to be "lore-accurate"? do they think their fans are stupid and think The Witcher is a found footage documentary?
It's this bizarre American obsession with "canon", also output through fan-theories and whatnot (see: character played by actor X in Y movie is a younger version of character played by actor X in Z movie)
Witcher is real life Poland lore
UURRGGH! An incel in my tv shows, thank god he's gone.
I literally had sex with her clone albeit 15 years younger last year. Turns out she was an insufferable, money-grubbing neoliberal, quite literally selling her snizz to the highest bidder. Loved rambling on about feminism and had a little nose ring to signal her nonconformity.
Women truly are a meme.
ah yes like the lore accurate Black person elves
literally the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Looked like a joke.
Wtf why is putin wearing blackface
why has someone nogged up Putin?
Couldn't afford Chris huh?
Been literally over a decade since a I read the books but I know Geralt gets his shit pushed in by the head sorcerer guy in this season and spends like an entire book getting healed by dryads. Are they just gonna act like his face got fricked up too and that'll be the excuse?
He gets healed in like 2 chapters but does spend the rest of that book wandering around doing nothing
>2 chapters only
Could be true I guess, only thing i can really remember was how much of a slog it was when he was with them and ciri was wandering the desert for what felt like atleast half the book.
I was so happy when Bonhart killed the rats, easily the worst segments.
Why make some weird attempt to address in the story and not just recast the character and never bring it up?
show is gonna die either way - this way they can get in one last snide comment about the fans that they hate.
this includes cavill
He'll just drink a hastily prepared potion to deal with something especially powerful. The potion will allow him to win, but frick up his face. Boom, new guy waltzes in.
Its free content as well. They can play off his changed face and its impact on his acquaintances.
Okay but is everyone just going to ignore that he's suddenly black?
>Okay but is everyone just going to ignore that he's suddenly black?
Liam Hemsworth isn't black though kek The replacement is moronic but its not that level moronic
>Poland
how is this still on? i thought it was cancelled.
>oversaturation
>chromatic aberration
>eye searing lense flare
very accurate to tw3
She looks so fricking stupid. It's unreal how corny women are.

Cavillbros, what if it's a success? Are we ready for this possibility? We must take into account every scenario...
It wont be. The ratings were already rocky. The only reason it had any to begin with was Cavill. He was the draw. His casting was as good as you could get. He looked the part, he was focused on trying to be faithful to the material. And now all that's going to be gone.
Now its just a question of how hard it will bomb
The Lore where Geralt suddenly has charisma?
This reminds me when they had to replace the actor who played Doctor Who because his actor was senile. So they had him transform into another actor and say "Yeah this is a normal thing my species does". But they were making up DW lore as they went along and The Witcher has 30 years of baked in lore.
So can any bookgay tell us about what's the deal with Book Five?
everyone dies
like i said, its been decades, but the lodge revolts and tries to take power or someshit while trying to steal ciri. the head sorcerer break geralts legs and ciri takes a portal and ends up wandering the desert. she eventually ends up the in the edgelord teen gang. forget how, but geralt escapes and gets healed by dryads, one joins him while he goes to find ciri. eventually he also teams up with the one nilfgaardian they focused on for a bit who fricked up trying to capture ciri way earlier. then that one vampire guy joins them too later on.
sorry, the books were kinda meh and i read fan translations that some guy posted on the cdpr forums right around when tw2 came out. he ended up not really knowing another language and translating them himself, he literally just copy pasted into google translate then fixed obvious errors and stuff.
I read your post and a little more on Leddit (discussion and summary) and I got no idea how they could take anything from it and justify a new face for Geralt. It's probably going to be a massive asspull.
only thing that would make sense to the book is also having geralts face get bashed in by vilgefortz. but the whole multiverseconjunction of the spheresdifferent timeline geralt excuse that someone said earlier sounds like something the lazy, aping writers would do.
Ironically Vilgefortz is the one who gets disfigured to a point where you could easily recast him by someone else in makeup/prosthetics
doesnt he just lose an eye that gets replaced with a crystal? dont recall his whole face being ruined
i remember when this show was announced and everyone was hoping it'd be an animated show, maybe done by the people who did the CG trailers, then you had the shit with the c**t working on the show saying they'd respect the characters races (lol)
Half his face gets burned off when he loses the eye, from memory most of the skin has already regenerated by the time Geralt and co fight him
is cahir (the nilfgaardian) even in the show? geralt's adventurer party were basically the only good parts of the book, and the shit author just kills them all at the end
no doubt if they are they're all ugly nonwhites in the show
Cahir is in the show as a moustache twirling villain who beats Vilgefortz in a melee.
frick that sounds stupid, cahir and geralt's relationship was pretty enjoyable in the books
>who beats Vilgefortz in a melee.
forgot about this, what the frick are they going to do to explain him actually being powerful as frick? god the show is so stupid
Viglerfortz is supposed to be the strongest dude save for the White Hunt elves in the books and only ever gets beaten by Geralt, Yennefer and a fricking High Vampire (that one dies so they can win). Cahir jobs to Geralt pre magical sword, that doesnt make sense at al.
cahir got a decent amount of screen time already. but i'll bet you'll correct about the dryad getting cast as a frumpy mutt. i wonder how they'll ruin emiel
>like i said,
you dumb mother fricker no one knows you
>the books were kinda meh
this is whats so surprising for me.
the witcher books were succesful locally in poland but not globally.
then the games happend and they had better writing than the books by all accounts and the original author had nothing to do with those.
the games caused and explosion in popularity of the books but everyone knew the games were better written so why the frick is the show based on the fricking books?
the only one above meh was the last wish and thats a short story rather than a book.
The interesting part about the entire franchise (books/games) is that it's a mucky and dreary setting that is a variation on european late medieval history. So it's fun to contextualize and recontextualize fragments of what you already know and see how it's reconfigured.
The games understood that.
but the show doesn't get it at all. all the factions look vaguely the same, all the east-euro flavor is completely gone, geralt just looks like a rando chad, all the characters have randomized ethnicities and so on...
obviously whoever they attached to this project knew nothing about the source material or gave a shit about it
The most interesting thing about the series is the fact he stole it from morewiener who did everything first and did everything better. *shrugs*
Like I said, the strength of the work is in the setting.
Moorewiener I like but for other reasons. He is a more ... "trippy" kind of fantasy writer.
His settings always tended to be vague and loose.
>i got injured and thought i would never be able to do anal again

Gerald gets fricked up by a mage - who is now established as the main villain - at the end of book four. In book five he licks his wounds in the dryadville, so that's probably where and when he gets his cosmetic surgery
it was all magic bro
Netflix prodced 3 seasons of this absolute garbage, plus one prequel spinoff, and they're making another 1-2 seasons and another spinoff
but they canceled Mindhunter
let that sink in
that is the degree of incompetency we are dealing with here
When you put it like that it really sounds incompetent, but I'm sure that the context/reasons that blocks Mindhunter from happening are vastly different from the ones that make a new Witcher season be produced.
>Mindhunter
Mindhunter is garbage too.
can't they just replace the actor and act like he's always been geralt??? like hello they've done it before look at bewitched
Or just make a joke of it and move on.
>Hey Geralt, is it just me or do you look different?
>*growl* It's just you
I've never watched this show. The games are like every other euro jank rpg, amusing for a bit but overall a waste of time
>very, very
Credible writing
kek chadvill wouldn't let them objectify him so they're going for the less popular hemsworth? these roasties are pathetic.
Don't care. I'll only watch this show if they adapt Bonhart doing some rat catching
>only 1 medallion
People only watched for Cavil's Geralt and the hope of more non-Black, actual assigned-female-at-birth-nudity. Cavil is gone and it looks like the aesthetic nudity has dried up. Remove those things and you have nothing, as we saw from the prequels that no one watched. They know at least half the viewers are leaving with Cavil.
The witcher series was the show that put the nail int he coffin for my enthusiasm for tv/film. Last show I ever got hyped for, only to be let down and now even the small part that was good (cavill) is being taken away.
Lmao Herny was literally the only good casting choice
So a farmer with a pitchfork?
If they mean having Geralt "die" at the end and skipping straight to the Witcher game and explain his looks changing because of his time gone with the Wild Hunt that's not lore accurate. Sapkowski doesn't consider the games canon.
He also hated the games until Witcher 3 made bank then he came knocking
He definitely fricked up when he sold the rights to CDPR so flippantly and cheap instead of opting into a percentage based cut.
he never sold rights to CDP, he sold them to a different company long before them that never delivered their game and re-sold the license to CDP
What a fricking shitshow.
why is this thread not a compendium of lauren hissrich's well documented incompetence and hatred of everything that made witcher popular?
is it because Cinemaphile is nu-reddit?
YES, YES IT IS
it's because nobody really gives a frick about this garbage show
>Vilgefortz beats the shit out of Geralt to the point Yennefer had to give him facial plastic illusion
kino
You mean right wing incel GAMER Henry Cavill?
#believeallwomen
They turned on him when they realized he wouldn't frick them.
Really could have just done the first season as an anthology like the first book being a short story collection. It would have worked out so much better.
I bet J R R Andrzej Sapkowski is rolling in his grave.
Liam is there for the femboy Geralt fans before CDPR changed their minds on his TW2 design.
You now remember trailer Yennefer

Netflix is infamous for killing even good shows after 2 seasons, desperately fights to keep Witcher alive for 3 seasons despite losing their lead.
What does that horrid crone have on them?
They do it out of spite.
Imagine how pissed off the hags running this shitshow are once Cavil told them to frick off.
They literally just cast him so they can hang around him and try to ply their witch trade and take selfies on set and bullshit like that.
Is he gonna regenerate like doctor who? Or just walk out of the shower and pretend nothing changed?
It's hilarious how stupid tv show writers act like they're writing the new bible
Which they are but that's not my point
I’ll leave this here.
Reminder that the entertainment industry is made by and for Libs, leftists, sjws, wokes, progressives, socialists, communists, and everything in between. Or in simpler terms Leftwing
They always inject their agendas and propaganda into media, sometimes subtly sometimes in you face, but it is always there
>it’s not political chud hehe
You're so mentally ill you think that a flower blooming is a gay leftism.
lmfao who comes up with this shit? a village crusade? getting a statue because you "slit your dads throat"? so dumb.
So what is a "lore-friendly" way to replace Cavil?
Let me guess, they're going to bring over a Geralt from a different dimension?
Or have him use a potion that changes his appearance?
sigh
>Or have him use a potion that changes his appearance?
this most likely
there were few shots of post-Vilgefortz episodes with Geralt doing something with potions
i guess those will change his apperance somehow
or Yennefer/Triss will make him look like Liam
It's genuinely hilarious how ~~*they*~~ seem to think that "Geralt was le deformed so that explains the recast in a lore-accurate way" is a remotely intelligent, let alone "quite flawless", solution to this whole dumpster fire.
Truly. Their hubris on full display and what it reveals is incredible: they don’t live in the real world at all, and they KNOW they know better than you. They know they’re right, they know they deserve your praise and are genuinely confused when they don’t receive it. They know you’re less than them, and they look down on you for it; as bottom-feeding consumers of their art, you are less the nothing to them.
When they give you a bone, they don’t want to know how it tastes, and so they are absolutely baffled and disgusted they have to placate the unwashed masses because their work isn’t being received as it should. You’re too rustic, too unlearned, too backwards.
It’s not them, it’s you.
Always remember that.
Damn, Geralt finally getting some charisma.
>Leftists suddenly only care about lore when it suits their agenda
a wizard did it
Will the removal of the audience be lore accurate?
lore accurate like the nilfgaardian scrotum armor and penis helmets
>you see vilgafortz didn't save the day at sodden hill it was yennfer for some reason we strive for accuracy
frick I hate that woman
it'll be geralt from another reality
>I drank a Witcher potion and its changed my appearance 😉
he will just get magic cast on him or something like literally every sorceress does to themselves
Ciri can hop around universes. She will find a new Geralt. I haven't watched any of this trash by the way, just like nu Star Wars, and I pity the morons who just HAD to watch when all the warning signs were there from the trailers.
look its really obvious I get how this womans stupid fricking mind works now that i've suffered through 2 seasons of her shit, its simple, Geralt (Cavill) will die, Ciri will be their and go ape shit screaming for him to come back, which opens a portal to another reality and the bad hemsworth comes through.
And these writers want to be paid MORE for their garbage.
