Whole Netflix show will be just an copy of Polish TV series with bigger budget.
So, you will see in pilot how Vesemir takes kid Gerald on account of rule of first.
Then his trial of grasses, then probably his first big hunt(striga) will be first season finale.
Show will probably deal with butcher of Blavik part.
Its question if Geralt will even be main character( kinda have a feel writer will force more wide approach, not just a view from geralt &or they'll go with type where Dandelion talks about events )

I don't think he hates the games, that's a bit of a common missconception. When CDPR originally came to him asking for the rights or wahtever, he accepted a one-off payment for the rights. He could see they were a small studio and didn't think their games/his IP would becomea s big as it did. Now he's a salty buttblasted cuck cause he doesn't get royalties. The netflix serious looks like a desperate attempt for him to try and cash in on his series again, after being left completely salty over a 5 figure check, while CDPR indulge in their 7 figure check

Literally how?

All of their real-life parallels, mixed together or otherwise, were basically exclusively white through the Middle Ages, which is the time period the Witcher draws on, and the characters should (and do in the books and games) reflect this. Seems like a good reason not to make them black.

Ottomans were white in major part, as they consisted of conquered Byzantium, Balkans and Hungary. Their religion and culture were extremely different though. Just like Nilfgaardian Cult of the Sun.

No, retard. See >>82897671

You know this is gonna be terrible, right? Not even just because of muh sjws or normie appeal, but simply because of budget.

Even their biggest shows are pretty mediocre, but if you look at any Netflix original outside of their top few subscription sellers they're universally terrible.

Especially true because whatever they say about the books, it's inevitable they're going to try and appeal to the gamer crowd and you can't recreate that for TV on a small budget.

Only hope is that the casting team is really good, because it's gonna be a whole bunch of no-name actors.

Nilfgaard is a mix of real-life empires (Austria, Ottoman Empire, Russia, Prussia).

There were no Iranians around in the Pontic basin by the 14th century, retard. Stop pulling shit out of your ass, it was a turkroach dynasty - that quickly diluted itself with Greek and Slavic blood, but no less turk originally. The last of the Iranic tribes in Europe were the Alans, and those got wiped out or merged with Goths around the fall of the western empire time period. The only remaining north Caucasus Iranians by this stage were the Ossetians, since the Altaic Avar, Bulgar and Pecheneg invasions wiped out any traces of the Scythians everywhere else.

There is nothing similar about Nilfgaard and Ottomans you delusional smelly Turk. They are very culturally different.

>But he's right, Nilfgaard looks like an european empire, but it works like the Ottoman Empire (slavery, caste system, religion).
It's like you're saying those traits are unique only to Ottomans, every culture has a history of that and NIlfgaard is based on european culture.

You're dumb. Indo-Europeans(R1a) were obviously the elite of the Iranian people. Just like they were the elite of the Turks

Actually, you're just making a stupid assumption. A lot of things that probably seem western in origin to you are simply shared with the slavshits, though plenty does indeed come directly from elsewhere. The overall feel of it is broadly European but with a very distinct eastern flavour.

I'm cautiously optimistic since Sapkowski and the CGI intro dude is involved. Still not getting my hopes up in case netflix higher ups overrule or if Sapkowski is too drunk to give a fuck.

You cite the ones you remember because they were western. And even those are pumped full of eastern folklore. Not that western Europe even makes sense in a medieval context, Germany was quite distinct from France and England. Besides the language barrier, medieval Poland was as similar to medieval Germany as Germany was to France. And the Bohemians aka Czechs, a large Slavic people, were full on part of the culture.

To be fair, that's just a medieval dock crane. You could find this in just about any city with access to a waterway.

But Novigrad is indeed a nod to Danzig, and the Hanseatic cities. Or more generally, the Free Trading City, a European medieval archetype. But the architecture is distinctly Baltic.

But what really makes me both amused and sad at the same time is that when SJWs bashed Witcher for not being diverse and shit, they ignored that racism/xenophobia is literally one of the most important issues in both books and games, only that instead of blacks/asians we have elves and dwarves, which are paralell to how gypsies and jews were treated in europe.
