I have high hopes, but I admit I am disappointed with what appears to be going on with Ciri. At least based on all of the trailers she seems to have a big presence in this short (what, 8 episodes?) season, which I don't think will give her backstory time to breathe. I feel like the audience will not understand why Ciri is 'joined by destiny' to Geralt without a good leadup to it. Unrelatedly I also feel like the casting choice is bad, the actress looks ridiculously frail, and weirdly beady-eyed (though this may be due to color contacts). (book... 4? spoilers)I just don't buy her being at all intimidating or dangerous (like when she hung with the Rats). Like, my 10 year old daughter is bigger than her. It might have worked if she was playing a damsel in distress, but not Ciri. Having said that, good acting can go a very long way, and I realize I'm just being super nitpicky due to being an ardent fan of the series. Don't take me too seriously.

I dunno i think with the right kind of atittude she could pull off the violent yolandi look

Good recent interview about the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flFOf1y204w esperterra posted:I'm warning everyone, here and now, that I refuse to call Dandelion Jaskier. I will forever refer to him as Dandelion whilst discussing this streaming television program. Just keep this in mind. He isn't Dandelion on the show?

Ninurta posted:That was a bug? I thought it was just commentary on how lovely life in Medieval times were, as interpreted by William Manchester. It was a bug which became endearing so after it was patched out they included that some people no longer wore pants. There were also a bunch of historical enthusiasts who insisted that this was historically accurate, and not a bug, so that was just another reason to run with it. This was fully implemented in the third game. Bananasaurus Rex posted:Pam pa ram pam pam param

Hyped for this, even if it looks a little rough and I have full-on GoT fatigue. And if not pam param, I better get some kind of townsperson dialogue Easter egg.

Much better than the alternative, imo. Hexer always sounded weird. And makes me want to play Hexen. Which is a good thing tbf.

People thought the name was dumb back then too, but the game and Geralt was cool enough that the name and the series lived on

I’m really looking forward to it, but I stand by the fact that Henry Cavill looks too young and fresh faced. Geralt always struck me as looking like early to mid 40’s or at least with the skin of someone who worked outside in the elements for decades. I think a beard would go a long way. I mean, they edited out his mustache for Batman V Superman. Could they just edit in a beard??

He's not even 100 years old, and other witchers who were several centuries old looked like they were in their mid 40's. He probably should still look young.

Probably would be too small for the role of meat mountain, but for some reason Ron Perlman came to mind and now I want to see this happen.

Geralt is supposed to look rather young, anyway. Not as young as the sorceresses tend to glamour, but the books kind of fluctuate between him being a hosed up rugged dude and so hot that women swoon over him just walking past him in the street. Cavill's nearly 40, anyway.

First episode appears to be mostly/entirely based on The Lesser Evil. Which is good because if you were going to pick it an entry point into The Witcher, it's the best one.
