If I remember this quote, "Evil is evil. Lesser. Greater. Middling. It is all the same." is straight out of the books

Looks awesome, can't wait!
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

I was also disappointed with the castings, especially Yenn and Triss, but I've liked what I've seen so far from Anya as Yenn.

Still not 100% sold Shaffer as Triss, but thats because I still want her to have red hair. Gingers represent.

Looks pretty good!

There's a guy on Reddit that - hear me out - legitimately seems to be a Netflix insider of some sorts. Posts a lot about the Marvel Netflix stuff, and why we'll never see those actors as those characters again. I know it sounds like BS but his track record gives him a lot of credibility. Mentioned Jeph Loeb resigning about a week or two before it became news. Things like that.

Anyway, he says that the Witcher is kind of awful but also absurdly entertaining. Action and monsters are amazing. Ciri is great, plot development is pretty thin, Yen is kind of middling, Cavill is "maybe not good." Some details about which book stories are portrayed in which episode.

I guess we'll see in about two months. He'll share some scoops after that too. Should be pretty easy to disprove him if he's full of **** but I think he's legit.

Looks good. I think Eva Green would have made an excellent Yennefer.

I refuse to believe it. I need something I've been looking forward to to actually land.

Renewed for season 2 before season 1 is released. Nice!

Someone caught some video from the Argentina Comic Con.

Also there was a final trailer shown as well at a thing in Brazil which will hopefully be released soon.



Here is also an original song sung by Jaskier (Dandelion) in the show from the OST.

Twitter impressions have been positive, from what I saw. I am now cautiously optimistic. And finishing book 2.

Missed this before, thanks for the info. And this is not directed at you, but rather the Reddit dude. How could he be proven right or wrong if he says its horrible but great (extrapolating "awful but also absurdly entertaining" for effect)?

Lots of new footage here. I'm beyond ready for next week.

Hmm. Maybe like a Bad Boys 2 vs a Godfather kind of distinction. Or maybe Battle of the *******s - technically impressive and thrilling but I have big qualms with the writing.

If the action looks good but the dialogue blows, that kind of thing. I'm hoping he's wrong though!

Kind of the only correct casting in my mind. Still gutted about the Triss casting but everything about this looks good

Final Trailer. Not quite as good as the previous ones, but the music is legit and we finally see more of Jaskier/Dandelion

Everything looks great except for maybe when Cavil opens his mouth to speak. Feels like a very forced weird voice like Bale as Batman.

I thought Yennefer was supposed to be hot?!


I ****ed her 20 times in the game.


But Triss Merigold will always be my Baby.




They did the ol' replace the ginger with a black actor for "diverse audience" reasons.


The irony of which gingers are probably one of the smallest minority of people's on the planet. I guess not having a soul puts you at the bottom of the ethnic pecking order.

From what I understand from the fanboys, the voice is a dead ringer for the voice from the game. Fans apparently love that.

About 40 seconds in you can hear the video game (VG) Witcher's voice for a quick comparison (and an awesome trailer for the game).

Cavil's voice is way more Bale's Batman than the VG one... The VG Witcher's voice is almost closer to a whisper than whatever Cavil is doing. Cavil also seems to be doing a lot more scowling, but, that may just be the trailer.

I'm hopeful this series will be really good. The books are very interesting in a Game of Thrones meets Grimm's Fairy Tales kind of way, and the Witcher video games are some of the best ever made with very good, complex stories.

Interesting comparison.

The early reviews have been glowing, so I'm optimistic.

I just want the side quest where Geralt's drugged and his horse starts talking to him.

Now let's just hope the series honors it's promise to show full hardcore penetration in every one of the show's 40 sex scenes.
Queued!
