Lol probably means the show is getting really bad viewership. This show isn't getting a 5th season. Hell, might not even get a 4th.

Yikes. That's a shame since I was hoping it would get to the later parts of the story. I didn't think it would but... I had some hope

Good, glad it's getting terrible viewership. I ain't gonna watch it. That's what they get for strong arming Cavill out of the show and actively hating the source material. They deserve all the negativity they get.

Not that so much as season 2 butchering Geralt, Ciri, and Yennifer's stories and characters.

ngl, that's a pretty fun ad campaign. Though I feel like a lot of people probably just had no idea what was even going there, especially if the Witcher is the kind of show you watch when a new season shows up and you go "oh hey, new episodes"

By all indications, cavill staying would have required the writers to show a little bit of humility and, by all indications, that wouldnt have happened.

The show runners need to be black listed from other future projects.

If you hate the source materials then write your own shit.

They leech off decades of established material and try to make it their own success.

I decided to watch season 3 before my subscription expires because I want season 3 to get better views than season 4 to support Henry Cavill. I ended up cancelling because I barely watch anything on there and because of them reneging on llove is sharing a password. It just doesnt make sense to give them $240 a year. If Wednesday gets another season, I might renew long enough to watch it.

I'll watch the season when it's fully released, but no way I'm watching without Cavill.
They'll probably cancel the show.

Even with Cavill, they completely butchered it. I just don't understand how can some of these no name directors think so highly of themselves and think they know better when it comes to such popular franchise.

If you want to make something original, go write your own shit. Oh, that's right. Noone would watch it, so you took it upon yourself to "fix" Witcher.

Going theory is that because studios are so risk-averse, they won't greenlight original stories. So writers use established properties to Trojan horse a story they wanted to tell into the franchise which requires changing things about it. Also egos thinking they can "fix" things like you said. Would make sense.

If you think that's all fans are outraged about, then you really haven't been paying attention. Which is sad because this topic spells it all out for you if you bothered to read through it.

I like how nobody actually knows the reason Cavill left but everyone likes to make a bunch of assumptions about it.

Also the source material isn't even particularly good and a lot of the people complaining about it never read it. So even if they were really faithful to it...you'd get a poorly paced mess of the show. Not that it excuses the show for being kind of a mess currently.

It was a combination of the writers basically telling him to fuck off when he voiced concern about them making changes to the source material and them bastardizing the source material.

Because hes one of us. Hes a massive nerd, huge fan of the Witcher books and games, huge reader and gamer in general, builds his own gaming PCs, paints Warhammer 40K miniatures, etc.

The way he got the role as Geralt was pestering the fuck out of his agent(s) until they pestered the fuck out of the people making the show to give him an audition before they were even ready to cast anybody.

The passion and expertise he brought to the role nasicalky means he is Geralt of Rivia, and it quickly became known that he was clashing with the show runners because he insisted on being faithful to the source material and they wanted to do their own thing, so thats the most likely reason he left considering how hard he fought to get the role in the first place.
