After this GOT season shitshow, what can we expect from this?

>black people
>strong feminist witches that dont need no man
>le racist kings are the evilest

Lots of characters turned black

Niggers everywhere.

>>86051830
This. Theyre going to make the sorceresses out to be good people serving justice and make all of the kings evil despite it being the opposite

>>86051773
They'll remove everything slav and make it a generic edgy fantasy. Witcher is only good because of how slav everyone is, it's just comfy

>>86051773
It's going to be ruined and you know it.

I don't like it when people claim something is a power fantasy, but if you've got a main character that is immune to STDs and live an abnormally long life you've got a power fantasy on your hand

>>86051921
>make all of the kings evil despite it being the opposite
Radovid was pretty fucking insane m8.

Hopefully lost of monster slaying.

>A total black washing of the cast with Idris Elba playing "Da Black Wulf"
>Ciri/Yennefer taking centre stage as the "YAAAAS QUEEN, SLAY" feminist pandering
>Triss will be played by some fat black woman because that's what is considered "THICC" among the normies that this show would pander too

>>86053223

Thats what i thought until i played witcher 2 and learned why every1 deserved it
Dwarves and sorceresses are much more evil than radovid

>>86053507
> thicc triss
god pls
> Rihanna as Ciri

>>86053509
It's a stretch to call all Dwarves evil.

Regardless Radovid has much more influence and fucks over literally all of temeria with his witch hunters in W3.

Why is everyone expecting the show to be ruined by forced diversity?

It's not being made by Netflix, they only picked it up. It's being made by an actual Polish director and Polish production company who adore the source material and have worked on the cinematics for the games, as well as taking direct input from Andrzej Sapkowski, the actual author of the books.

If anyone's going to keep the casting and direction of the show in check, it's Sapkowski, the old moody guy who threw a shitfit at the games, despite them actually being fairly accurate and faithful to the books. No way he's going to stand by and allow the main cast to be any other race than 100% white or let the writers deviate from the themes of his books. I trust him.

>>86051773
watered down story with clear cut good & bad

>>86054375
>It's being made by an actual Polish director and Polish production company
I didn't know that. Actually feel hopeful about this now.

>>86054375
>t's Sapkowski, the old moody guy who threw a shitfit at the games, despite them actually being fairly accurate and faithful to the books.

He's just an old man butthurt as hell he took a flat fee rather than royalties and that the games ended up more popular than the books

>>86054551
Pretty much, but he's also very defensive of them too.

He literally said “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing.”

I imagine he's taking a small dig at the games as well as being genuinely happy when saying that, so I doubt he'll let them change anything.

>>86054806
no one would even give a shit about his books if not for the games

he should be thankful that CDPR ever adapted his shit

>>86054468
Yeah. It's being directed by Tomasz Baginski, the same guy who directed the opening Witcher 1 and 2 cinematics, as well as the 'Killing Monsters' trailer for The Witcher 3 and the Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer.

And it's being produced by Platige Image, the company Bagsinski worked with to actually animate and create those cinematics/trailers.

>>86054884
Yeah, he's kind of a dick. But now we're counting on him to make sure he keeps the show accurate to his books.

>>86054375
but will they keep in the rape?
and lesbians?

>>86053254
Who cares? No shit, lots of fiction is power fantasy to some people. What matters is if it tells an interesting story, has a unique setting, and/or characters that are worth getting to know.

>>86055160
Rape? Maybe, Sapkowski will definitely push for it

Lesbians? Most likely, don't see why not.

Witcher is going to be the Breaking Bad/True Detective of fantasy tv shows if done right.

More concept art for the show.

>>86051921
It's probably gonna be the same with the Sorceresses, they were always grey

>>86051921
The lodge, especially in the novels, is basically a caricature of modern feminists. A bunch of wannabe political schemers who engage in one fuckup after another and are constantly duped by strong male characters (Vilgefotz, Geralt, etc...). In the end, it is also implied that all major members of the lodge end up slaughtered by Mad Rad.

I'm looking forward to see how much retconning they will do.

>>86054097
It is natural and beautiful for a man to love his own sister, anon.

>>86051773
>what can we expect from this?

BLACKED

No, seriously they're going to turn up the SJW dial to full blast but simultaneously completely botch the racism allegory in the treatment of fictional races which will instead be flanderized back to the closest generic fantasy version, ruining the entire point of them as portrayed in the Witcher.

>>86051773
>Netflix
enjoy getting maybe 2 seasons if you're lucky before they cancel it due to budget problems

>>86057440
>Last Wish
>Sword of Destiny

Would be for the best for it to only get two seasons.

Won't be able to hold up to the vidya but it still has the potential to be pretty good.

>>86057065
Does the Lodge exist in the books? I was under the impression everything except the main characters was essentially made up for the video games.

>>86057419
sjw boogyman
haha man epic

>>86055053


now im hype

>>86057419
This. It's Netflix they've chucked themselves to sjw oblivion and there's no sign of stopping. It's why I cancelled my subscription.

>>86058352
I havn't read the books but I think it does since they often discuss an event with the lodge that didn't happen in any of the games

thanedd island or something

>>86058352
Yes. The novels describe how the lodge was founded after the disband of the brotherhood of sorceress and their first various shenanigans involving politics and Ciri, which end up all failing horribly, leading to the second northern war with Nilfgaard and (later) the witch hunts.

>>86051773

The greatest evil won't be magic but politics, so it will lack the 90% of the reasons of why Geralt feels depressed as fuck about himself

it will suck

>>86055110
Sapkowski isn't nearly as much of a dipshit as Martin and is much less tolerant of having his work fucked with. The second Netflix attempts to shoehorn in some neoliberal bullshit he'll throw a shitfit.

>>86051830
Niggers? Isn't that an opportunity to cast Slavs?

>>86051921

Radovid is a fucking retard and it's idiotic that no wizard or witch assassinated him long before you even get involved in Witcher 3. Like just fucking teleport a bomb on his ship.

>>86059238
Radovid is a genious and thinks realistically
This is why he wins wars despite being horribly outnumbered
The sorceresses are retards

They should just keep it CG and use the same Voice actors and everything.

>>86059467
this
radovid is insane but a strategic genius at the same time

>>86059238
considering Radovid beat Emhyr if Geralt doesn't have him assassinated, somehow I don't think he's a retard.

Canon ending.

>>86059467
>>86059763

And this is related to pissing off all magic users in the North? He has no mages loyal to him. It makes no fucking sense that nobody assassinated him. Looking at the shit sorceresses do in W3 it's even more stupid. Triss could just nuke his ship from the other side of the river.

And his armies doing anything to Empire armies that employ mages is ridiculous. Just look at the crap Yen did in game and think what it would affect battlefields.

It's shit writing. Witcher books are terribly written crap. Games are great but writing still isn't that good. Some parts of the plot are great like pretty much everything related to Aen Elle. But the politics are ridiculously bad.

>>86060066

This quest was so bad. It makes 0 sense for Djikstra to suddenly become so stupid. He should know better than attack you with like 5 random fags.

And Radovid assassination was stupid too. It looked like Filipa could do it herself. You were not even needed there yet it never happens if you don't help them.

>>86060142
This. Surprising but i also couldnt kill my boy roche
>>86060026
Thats a good point. I like how radovid hunts the witches but how could they go against one. Like in w2 when a sorceress snuffed out an entire battlefield then cursed all of the troops.
Wonder what excuse the devs or author has

>>86059899
It's the translation. The books in english are barely readable and I really doubt it's even possible to do a better job since Sapkowskis style is very specific. Anyway, the short stories> piece of shit> the novels

It really does fall apart towards the end. When the quest first gets introduced I was really excited, but it was a real disappointment.

>>86060302
maybe djikstra just didn't know how good friends roche and geralt were (assuming you took the correct path in witcher 2) and thought geralt wouldn't care

>>86051921
>This. Theyre going to make the sorceresses out to be good people serving justice and make all of the kings evil despite it being the opposite
You ain't read the books, you aint played the games, and you probably watched a stream half drunk. Not a single fucking character within the witcher universe can be called good because anyone who even trys to act remotely good for reasons that don't benefit them will fucking die

>>86060491
geralt is probably the most morally good person in the universe

or shani

>>86060491
If you kept reading the discussion the conclusion is that he is the lesser evil

>>86057440
Netflix rarely cancels shows though. And the ones that do get cancelled either have no viewership or were so obnoxiously expensive (Sense8, Marco Polo) that they couldn't justify spending money on their low viewership numbers.

>>86060479

The best part is how nobody even cares or reacts to the fact Radovid died.

>>86060066
Roche was my nigga, I would have torn down the whole kingdom to save the man.

The entire main quest with Ciri and evil badass elves from another world was 10/10. Through Time And Space may be the best quest in video game history. Baron plot-line was great.

But politics were really, REALLY bad.

They will have 1 or 2 characters tag along Geralt the entire series just to have dialog thrown back and forth and shit drama added.

Fuck you, Witcher short stories are considered a classic in Poland and swept various book award ceremonies. I never heard anyone trash talk them, although pretty much everyone agrees that the saga sucks. Tv show is a completely different thing too, and rightfully considered a complete joke.

Okay okay, Ciri is actually the best girl, and the best ship for geralt. But since people are weirded out by that, I usually default to triss, second best.

Platige animated the cinematics but there's no fucking way anyone would spend money on a fucking CG TV series. No studio in their right mind would spend so much money on at least 10 fucking hours of CGI animation. I bet the Witcher cinematics already cost quite a lot and they were only 3 minutes long.

Also, the director has literally already mentioned it as live action, they even mentioned they've already cast Geralt and Sapkowski gave his approval.

>>86065485
baron wasnt even a bad guy. remember his wife was being a total bitch before he grabs her hand (doesnt hit her or anything) and the dumb bitch falls and has a miscarriage. then she and her cunt daughter blame him for it. classic perma-victim wimmin.
