The Witcher would have worked better as a collection of short stories instead of this sweeping, dull arc thing. The best episode of this season was the first, then it turned into dull crap. They shat all over fans of the books, and just made a dull mess. The casting still annoys the piss out of me, especially Fringilla who was obvioulsy cast because they wanted a fat black woman, not because of any acting ability, of which she has none.

I am sorry sir, this is a Netflix adaptation. You should have left your good ideas and common sense at the door.
 
And of course the permanently thirsty alphabet soup crowd is already creaming their meat gashes at the prospect of Ciri being bisexual next season and the whole Mistle storyline. Ya know, the one with the creepy abusive groomer!

God I fucking hate currentyear humanity.

That's not surprising. Since Ciri is now "aged-up", Mistle basically jumping her for that hot lesbo sex is now totally valid and uwu. I've seen legitimate arguments on tumblr that Cahir's obsession with Ciri is incredibly disgusting in the books, but Mistle really had her best interests at heart and was her best match. Because girls can't groom other girls - that's just conservative propaganda.

I doubt the Rats will even be shown properly anyways. They'll be the murderers with a heart of gold, just like Geralt and Ciri will forgive Yen and have a big hugout because Yen was just so stressed out because she'll be a metaphor for a working mom. I'm sure Philippa will become the poster girl for POC Lesbian on Campus because you can't have this powerful sorceress have any other personality when part of it is UwU Sapphic. And the men will be further written to be incompetant and Jaskier will be made as some jilted lover for Geralt (instead of his best friend because ew male friendship).

Can't wait to see the divide for next season on the normie forums and tumblr and how everyone will still do their damned best to try and say all the blackwashing is totally powerful representation while struggling to say anything good about the actresses other than "they're black".
 
the show made me extremely annoyed and i could feel it making me confused about what happened in the books, so i decided to reread the series as a Christmas present to myself. just finished Time of Contempt yesterday. while i was reading Blood of Elves, i couldn’t help but quietly internally seethe over the interview where Lauren Fisstech says the reason they had to change so much from the books in s02 is because BoE is “boring and nothing happens in it”. this is, i feel, extremely retarded. i think we can tell from the quality of her show that she views all character and relationship development “boring” so i know why she would say that, but i actually really like BoE. i cant wait to see what she will do with ToC, and if it will be a whole season (even i think this is crazy tbh) or if it will be 95% fanfic again. seeing as basically the whole book takes place over like a week, and a good 1/2 of its length is devoted to a group of people talking and then killing each other at one party, it needs to have more content injected into it imo. just wish they would adapt more of the first two books to pad out the runtime instead of whatever insane Riverdale-tier horseshit they come up with on their own.
 
Didn't realize this show had a second season until I saw it on the sidebar while looking a for song from a Sopranos episode. Is there enough fun action and scenes without bad brown woman acting to justify watching it?

Do you consider Yennifer brown? If so skip. If not, and you liked the first season, give it a shot. It's a distinct downgrade from the first season, but still has a fair number of good bits.

I feel like I hear a lot more people saying it's "okay" if you have never read the books or played the game over the past two weeks, but I honestly disagree.

The fucking show is boring. Maybe if they took out the mage subplot it'd be passable.

Agreed, I only played parts of the Witcher 2 and never read the books, and like I said I'm only watching it because of Cavill, the show itself is not good, I'd say its better than the live action Cowboy Bebop but that is not a high bar, its like saying I'm a better runner than a guy with no legs
 
I honestly hated it from the first season and thought then it was a pretty big departure from the books. Respect the source material, my ass. I know Cavill is a huge nerd and probably privately rages over the dumpster fire the showrunners have created, in-between sessions where he swims in a pool of money.

Yeah, I've said before I feel bad for the guy since he seemingly really wanted to play both Superman and Geralt and ended up getting fucked with shitty writing.

I wonder how upset the writers actually got when he told them Geralt making a joke when Roach was killed was absolutely fucking retarded, especially since they basically told him to write it himself then.
 
Me and my wife just watched the 2nd ep for shits and giggles and lmao, they're killing off characters that are alive and well after this point in the books and games? Wtf is this shlock?

Forget just axing dialog and character development....lol. Will continue to watch this train wreck to see how far off the rails it can possibly go.
 
I feel like someone in wardrobe used mid-1990s Hercules episodes as a basis for how 'good' the wardrobe needed to look, particularly the armor, but because they have down syndrome, they've somehow made it worse. The scrotum armor has been replaced by grr, angry face man armor.

And can someone tell me why Geralt is wearing Spanx? And why he has a sword purse?
