I mean I get there are a load of elements thrown into the mix, but when one of those elements is explicitly Nazi Germany I don't think there's any way to disentangle that from 'these are the bad guys'.

Let’s turn this around then, who are the good guys? Not the northern kingdoms certainly - I’d go with Saskia’s place but dunno what even happened to them post w2.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Cavill needs to go to the barber and select the "shaved sides with a ponytail" option rather than the "long and loose" option.

Definitely hoping they'll add scars, pale skin, and the cat eyes.

Unfortunately I assume with a Netflix budget they'll go the route of not having to spend hours dressing their expensive star up in heavy makeup for every shot, but we'll see.

Cavill should method act this poo poo and never take off the makeup and grow his hair out long and really dye it.

The Warhammer fantasy setting is full of racist and colonialist tropes, but one thing I always really liked is that the faction that rules fantasy north america are leisure obsessed slave-and-warmongering racists with a really unhealthy relationship to sex.

A white beard and some scars would really help. Hopefully this is just a rough draft of the final look.

Yeah, but his canonical look isn't really that important. A short white beard would make him look more grizzled and therefore more Geralty.

They at least really need to give him creepier contact lenses if they're not going to spend time on makeup. He just looks like, some guy.

Something I hadn't been concerning myself with until now and seeing Cavalt is...his voice. The game voice actors do a great job of making Geralt's voice "unpleasant" which is how it's described in the books. I can't see Cavill doing a good Geralt voice, and don't really want him to try to grit it up either. I'm conflicted. Guys, help me. Tell me it's going to be ok.

Oooh yeah. Only warhams thing I've done in decades is the RPG, which doesn't have dark elves (or lizardmen, to continue your Central/South America point)

Obviously he's tripping balls on Black Gull. Witchers love to sit around hallucinating with some Black Gull. It's weed for Witchers.

One thing I really want to see from the show is an adaptation of the short story "A Lesser Evil." The scene where Geralt butchers 7 men in under a minute while the commoners are dumbstruck and frightened is one of the best moment's in Geralt's story from a character development and badassery stand-point.

This reminds me of how the Castlevania Netflix show is at least 75% just a Witcher anime. The first season at least, haven't seen the second.
