it's actually looking pretty hype. adapting how Geralt and Ciri meet, Yennefer's shitty ass childhood and her rise, and hopefully they also adapt the background of uh..ahem...Duny. Ciri's father. His past, curse, and how he eventually became emperor will be super fun if they have that in the show.

In the books he generally doesn't. His eyes are still unusual in that they're enhanced and depending on if he takes certain potions they can look cat-like.

His eyes looked black at the end, does that have anything to do with that?

lmao the top comment

" The only reason why Geralt didn't show up to fight against Thanos during the finale of Endgame was because it meant going through a portal. "

I mean, Witchers are mutants who've undergone a series of very intense chemical treatments to have their abilities, and then the different potions they consume have different effects from there.

I wonder how the pacing is going to be. Reading the Witcher subreddit thread on it now and people are pointing out what scenes can be from what book, but this first season is only 8 episodes.

It's a Netflix series so my prediction is that even if it's their top watched show they'll cap it at three seasons.

I got about halfway through the series and was honestly a little disappointed. Couldn't bring myself to finish them.

I'm curious about the quality of translation, too - I think in general it's a good translation, but then you run into the same word or phrase repeated on every page and you wonder if that's how it was in the original or if the translator was just lazy. Especially in the book "Time of Contempt", I think they say the phrase "time of contempt" way too frequently.

I don't hate that honestly. So many shows run way too long and lose quality. A 3-4 season series is plenty for me.

It looks good but not amazing, but my expectations were super high.

The main thing I wanted it to avoid was a CW style show. There are some shots where it does look like a CW show. Actors that are too hot for their own good that look too clean and modern and young. But it rides the line. Definitely overall better than a CW show. But nowhere near HBO quality either.

So I dunno what to think right now.

I believe the mouth specifically is an added thing, but in the books she was a hunchback and magic is used to make her pretty.

iirc theres a passing line or side quests about what all the witches did to gain their magics which makes their stories even more interesting. Yennifer's appearance. yeah...but when you find out about the others. it makes their desires and wants in the witcher 3 even more interesting

It's probably just a weird English translation. :( I've heard good things about the Spanish and French translations of the books, while I heard the English is good but not like, the best, you know?

Stranger Things is pretty effect heavy too and it's getting at least four seasons. So it's at least possible.

its the new standard for netflix after 3 seasons actors get huge raises and with Cavill his would be way to much


The Hollywood Reporter dropped a new bit of speculative analysis about Netflixs recent ordering strategies, suggesting that three seasons is the new ideal for the streamers offerings. (At least in part because thats the point where back-end royalties really start to pile up.)

There's some kind of production thing which makes going past three seasons way more expensive than the first three. Looking at their originals, only a few shows made it past three:
-Orange is the New Black; one of their first big landmark originals
-House of Cards; ditto
-Grace and Frankie; article I found suggests that Friends' creator being involved helped them keep Friends on the site
-Fuller House; same article says it has a different production model than other shows
-The Ranch; ditto
-Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; it has so many awards nominations that they have their own wikipedia page and it still only made it four seasons

The animated shows seem to have fared a lot better, so it might just be a live-action thing.

i thought it was toxicity levels cause them potions are like drug enhancements for a period of time. the black eyes indicated the potency of the potion. some say im the series each potion has different side effects. heres why...

it was a way for witchers to be supereffective when dealing damage to certain types of monsters. potions for every monster. the thing preventing witchers from overusing them potions is the toxicity levels. they poison themselves to deal with the monsters. 1 drink is usually enough but if a witcher drank too much in a short time, the witcher's body cannot take that many potions and the witchers body destroys itself.

From what I recall the potions in the books only serve to enhance the reflexes of the witcher.

I thought the first season was going to be Geralt taking out Foltest's daughter's curse.

I mean I don't see the scar on his neck

Edit: Actually the claw in the cathedral type place looks like a Striga.
