The Witcher - what went so horribly wrong?

Yas Forums is the only place I see people sperg out about it and it's always the same reasons, because women and diversity.
I'm guessing it was okay and most normal people liked it?

I'm a fan of the books and the games and I liked it. It wasn't perfect and it didn't adapt the books anywhere nearly as well as it could've, but it wasn't terrible.

It's mediocre and most normal people don't care for it.

this

and add Cavills ass into your post. it was so humongous, it stole every scene and ripped apart with every move.

no one likes it, just like no one likes you nigger

>but it wasn't terrible.
yes it was

I thought there was news he was collaborating with CDPR on a new witcher game after CP2077 comes out.

I thought it was OK. Not brilliant but I think it's got potential to improve

you shouldn't be surprised how fast these people move from one product to another. like carrion swarming roadkill and moving on to their next meal.

renfri part was okay-ish, too bad they had to insert Ciri in there so story can progress. fight scene was quite good, well choreographed and executed. show went a (((nose)))-dive after that for (((reasons)))

you DO realize that this show came out last year and game sales sky-rocketed even beyond release numbers, right?

The books suck cock, so does the show obviously but get over yourself, it's schlock all the way down

Like every witcher (games or books) it has good world and story of this world, comfy parts with monsters, people and magic, but it also has terrible story, which revolves around Ciri (the worst character in the books/games and show), so-so other characters and arguable propaganda of everything from every side.
And also, show've made some bad descisions with cast, but i guess i can live with it.

>keep geralt's speech about not wanting to choose between two evils
>cut out the tridam ultimate where geralt has to choose between two evils
are they actually retarded? making him get attacked by the bandits first ruins it. the moral dilemma was the whole point of the story and it shows why geralt is so reluctant to get involved later on. its basically his character arc which eventually culminates in his death when he finally gives up on neutrality to save innocent dwarves and elves from a racist pogrom.

they also made renfri immune to magic which proved that stregobor was correct, she was a cursed mutant.

There's nothing wrong with the dwarves. They were pretty based actually.

>Listen, we can hire niggers and slap ears on them for elves, what do we do for dwarves?
>do we do CGI, go old-school and do forced perspective
>nah, just call Lucas's midget farm and get some of those Oompa Loompa looking motherfuckers

it had a big budget and still turned out looking bad

Clueless morons in every position.

they ruined most of the build ups, so its only going to get worse from here.
>turn vilgefortz into a complete joke who loses to cahir of all people, when he was a complete powerhouse in the books who single-handedly turned the scales against nilfgaard in the battle of sodden and crushed geralt's leg in a duel without magic. this is important because vilgefortz becomes the main villain of the story
>turn cahir into psychopath when he was just a good guy in the books who eventually joins up with geralt's gang and becomes one of the most likable characters in the story. we only thought he was bad at first because the chapters were written from a traumatized little ciri who thought his winged helmet was scary
>cast an 18 year old as ciri when she is supposed to be 6-8 years old. this is going to ruin all the relationships that were formed in the books as all the dynamics become very different. geralt wont be able to carry her on his back and tell her good night stories for example. also makes ciri's more morally ambiguous and immature moments a lot more damning as she is much older and should know better
>remove the first meeting of geralt and ciri, making them essentially strangers. this is going to make it hard to explain why geralt actually cares about ciri, especially when she is much older than she is in the books and shouldnt need a new parent. just repeating "destiny" wont fix this problem
>neuter dandelion because "womanizing is sexist" according to the writers, making the stories with "little eye" and the duchess of toussaint, anna henrietta, impossible
>turn nilfgaard and fringilla vigo into religious heretics, making a faithful rendition of their stories impossible. it also doesnt help that fringilla doesnt look anything like yennefer in the show, making her romance with geralt very unlikely

Too late. They fucked up the foundations of the whole series.
