>Netflix claims it's the most watched show of all time
>zero cultural impact
What's going on here?
Because it’s showrunner fucked up at every step.
As a big fan of the books that it was trying to adapt, it failed utterly in its attempt.
media in 20's no longer relies on cultural impact... Much like 100's years prior.
Is it good? Is it worthy of the games?
its trashy fantasy for adolescent boys. so, yes.
>we're adapting the books, not the games!
>doesn't adapt the books
What did they mean by this?
Coronavirus
The way Netflix counts views is rigged and no way representative of how many people actually watched it.
no
They wanted to create an official fan fic because the books weren’t woke enough and they are talentless hacks that cant admit their dollar store writers suck.
what 'cultural impact' do you want a trash fantasy series to have? it's a piece of meaningless entertainment. GoT was the biggest show in the world and nobody cares now it's finished.
i would've worked the woke angle so much better than these hacks
Like the game. Both highly overrated media with huge marketing behind.
Vidya adaptations will always be shit because vidya doesn't have the character depth of even a mediocre TV show
>zero cultural impact
maybe because shows are now ubiquitous. they used to be restricted by weekly release and airing times and now you can get the "edgy deep new show" whenever you want, and everyone is on a different episode or didnt start it or finished it before you did. its market saturation and everyones not on the same page.
It was just a vehicle for Henry's lusty habits.
no
GOT had people talking about it constantly, cosplay, conventions and tourist industry revolving around it but the ending killed enthusiasm. GOT season 1-4 is some of the best TV ever made but its hard to rewatch when you know how badly it ends.
the pr strategy surrounding this show has been incredibly successful despite being built entirely on dishonest lies. their target audience just doesnt know any better
I just read Sword of Destiny after having seen the show when it came out. Holy shit, the books are literally, *literally*, 1000x better. The show is a rancid turd in comparison. I can't be the only one who did this, so that's why the show just fizzled out... it cannot even come close to having an impact as big as the games and the books. It's like putting what a kindergartener drew during recess next to a Dalí painting.
It's shit, if you thought The Witcher was good storytelling you'll definitely like it
>what 'cultural impact' do you want a trash fantasy series to have?
the games have had a huge cultural impact, you retard.
Wow user, did it knock Harry Potter off your #1 spot?
It was just mass advertising, there where adverts for it everywhere. Apparently a lot of people watched it but the amount of money they spent on making people aware of it could have probably made the show 3 times over. Adverts on the sides of buses, billboards, on those electronic posters in shops, on youtube constantly, paid bloggers and getting the cast to do the talk show circuit.
we're not talking about your videogames, way to not answer the question.
>Netflix claims
yeah and my dong is 40 inches, I can't release any official numbers though, just ask my gf, regarding whom I am not at liberty to discuss any further because of personal data protection laws
but I'm definitely not full of shit
How do they count that? I watched the first 20 minutes and turned it off.
How is Tiger King not their biggest?
i'm reminded of that picture of Henry cavil taking a photo of some bread he baked or something, and it's just a picture of bread with 600k likes.
This. Audiovisual entertainment is saturated as fuck right now. GoT was probably the last THE SHOW.
Fastest show I ever dropped. That janky spider thing that appeared was enough to convince me it was bad.
>imply "trashy fantasy series" cant have cultural impact
>video game adaptation of the same series had huge cultural impact
>we're not talking about the games
nice backpedaling, you slimy cunt
witcher was only the "most viewed" at the time because they changed the way they count views exactly when it aired. you no longer had to watch 70% of a show, instead only the first 2 minutes. everything surrounding this show is dishonest
The sad thing is this completely killed the importance of diversity in Witcher, because everybody is so diverse that nobody is actually really diverse
I am Slavic. Still havent seen this niggerfilled shitshow. tought we might have something of ours, but no, just another show for American mutts.
