This is probably going to be a Game of Thrones Daario type of situation.Decent take: the writing in this show is shit-tier, the main has nothing to do with it’s quality, Liam could be just as good as Henry

The Witcher: Liam Hemsworth 'first look' as Geralt is making fans feel sad
This is not the Geralt we expectedwww.gamingbible.com
The thing is, they both worked as Geralt..
He never was the real problemHe looks fine, honestly.
He never was the real problem
Its written by a women who wrote teen dramas .never wrote historic or fantasyThe thing is, they both worked as Geralt..
But the writing is utter dog shit written by idiots.

It just doesn't even make sense as to why!Its written by a women who wrote teen dramas .never wrote historic or fantasy
I agree, the only season I didn't like was the 2nd due to the fake new plotline.I thought season 3 was pretty good, i don't understand why people hate it so much.
Agreed, season 3 just like 1 is very faithful to the books.I agree, the only season I didn't like was the 2nd due to the fake new plotline.
Both don't look like Geralt should look like, it's obvious they took the looks from Witcher 3. In reality Geralt is thin and pale, kinda like his description in Witcher 1.Is that actually Liam? It looks like Cavill still.
I haven't watched season 3, but even season 1 had a lot of changes to the source material that made it worse so I wouldn't call it faithful. I feel that each of the changes they made worked to the detriment of the source materialAgreed, season 3 just like 1 is very faithful to the books.
Yeah good points, but I disagree with the ciri Doppler plot. From what I remember of the books, and I've not read them for a few years, but I feel they put that in there because the books were so vague about her escape from cintra. All the books describe is she's just traumatized by it, and is shit scarred of cahere? You know the winged helmet fella. Whatever you feel of those scenes, they're added to give a bit of danger to what happened to her. I thought it was okay.I haven't watched season 3, but even season 1 had a lot of changes to the source material that made it worse so I wouldn't call it faithful.

For example, that goofy subplot with doppler chasing Ciri in a Brokilon forest was completely made up and replaced one of the better short stories with something much shittier and completely removed any meaning from Geralt's and Ciri's meeting. Geralt was never in Cintra when it was invaded. Majority of Yennefer's backstory and the whole thing with eels was also made up for the show. Foltest and Vizima were also very different in the short story
I don't mind changing things to expand the story, but I do find an issue with them butchering things that were portrayed much better in a source material in order to give something for the character that didn't had too much to do in the short stories. It's quite obvious that doppler thing was invented only to give more screen time for CiriYeah good points, but I disagree with the ciri Doppler plot.

Why would you take on the role knowing why the previous lead left...
Again fair points, I can agree with this that their meeting is better, you just rejigged my memory, like I said I've not read the book's for a long time. I think the brokilon part where they meet each other was a short story? I don't agree the writers changed things around just for more ciri time. The group of short stories which were the first two books were told over a long number of years, i think you'd change things to fit into eight episodes of TV. The events of season 1 was based on the the two sets of short stories and the first novel. That's a lot to adapt. Despite the changes I think season 1 is fairly faithful like I said. Season 2 is absolute trash, and season 3 is the best season. Like I said I really enjoyed it, it does change some things, but the main stuff is accurateI don't mind changing things to expand the story, but I do find an issue with them butchering things that were portrayed much better in a source material in order to give something for the character that didn't had too much to do in the short stories.

But the reason why I hated the Brokilon story wasn't because of the doppler thing, but that it replaced the original Brokilon story where Geralt met Ciri years before the fall of Cintra. He didn't knew it was her and he saved her from being turned to one of the driads. The main point of this story was to show that while Geralt desperately tried to avoid his destiny, thinking that never setting a foot in Cintra will be enough to circumvent the law of surprise, their paths was always destined to cross. So when him and Ciri met after the fall of Cintra when Geralt was looking for her, that meeting felt much more meaningful and important as their paths were always meant to get them there - it was a meeting that was years in the making. TV series completely botched that context, at least in my opinion
