Will Netflix fuck up the casting?
>>
Of course.
>>
>Netflix bases it off the book
>Gamefags wonder why all of Geralt's signs don't do anything special or he barely uses them.
>>
>>377481219
Geralt will be played by a politically correct black tranny with a wooden peg leg who identifies as a white privilege
>>
If Mads Mikkelsen isn't Geralt then it's ruined
>>
>>377481219
what casting? it's 99% cgi. muh tara strong. cant' go wrong, retard.
>>
>>377481337
This.
Probably be played by a nigger and then when asked about they will respond "HURR ARE YOU A RACIST BRO"
Just like how they butchered the film adaption of my favourite book series The Dark Tower by making Roland black and having absolutely nothing from the series.
>>
>>377481219

Ten bucks says someone on the main cast will be black.
>>
>>377482203
You know Stephen King is a massive virtue signalling libshit, right? It was probably his idea.
>>
>>377481908
People are always saying Mads should play him, but apart from him looking alot like Geralt, I don't really see why.
>>
>>377482564
being a witcher, geralt isnt a very emotional character so any similarly looking guy with a deep voice can play him fine.

getting the look right would be 80% of the work
>>
>>377482203
I'd be okay with Idris Elba being Geralt.
>>
>>377482203
>The Dark Tower

Don't even get me started. I can even deal to the character being black - it pisses me off, but if it's a truly spectacular movie like the books were, it'd be fine. But every fucking scene in the trailer is wrong. It's fucking -wrong.- It's wrong from a firearms standpoint. It's wrong from a practical effects standpoint. It's wrong from an action movie standpoint. The dialog sounds weak as fuck, and there's a goddamn child actor in the fucking movie. All this and a million other stupid fucking mistakes that are easily fixed when you don't have a fucking dipshit director/writer.

But it'll make a trillion fucking dollars like Transformers did and they'll milk it for ten more movies or whatever the fuck. Who even gives a shit anymore.
>>
>>377481219
hard to fuck up when even the game gets it wrong. geralt is buff as shit in 3, he's supposed to be pretty scrawny. in 2 he was the right mix. they even got rid of his paleness in 3.
>>
>>377482203
Is Roland's race ever mentioned in the book? I can't remember.

And if I hear one more fucking faggot say "hurr durr anon you don't get it it's a sequel to the books" I'm going to find Stephen King and behead him for the new it movie and dark tower movie

why not watch that old show?
>>
>>377483019
I would guess that upwards of 70% of the viewers have never even heard of Dark Tower, much less read it.

Honestly, just let it go. Every series you love is getting fucked raw and completely. Sometimes it's best just to turn around and let her die.

I think Halo of all things would have benefited from this.

There's so much good stuff in the books that wouldn't work well in a game or a movie, but would be perfect for an episodic direct to stream service like netflix.

I could easily see the fall of reach adapted into 3, 7-10 episode seasons, for example.

Part of me wants this to be good, also for them to have percival make the music. Steel for humans was what got me into playing witcher, I also believe the group deserves more recognition.

He could pull the attitude too, sure Mads would look the part which is awesome but he can act too

You're right on that ... I have yet to successfully get some one to read the series ... But I'm sure they will go see that abortion of a movie and try to talk to me about it after like the 7+ books and that shit show are the same thing ...and I'll do my best not to slap them .... Fucking normies

Why would anyone want to base it on that trash? Witcher's fanbase is in the game now.

I think he is overused and too well known. I wouldn't see Geralt, i would see Mads. We need a more obscure actor.
>>
>>377483832
his entire frame is to big. perhaps height is on, but the rest is way off. geralt is supposed to be a scrawny twig whose every muscle looks ripped. i hope they do things right just because i love this franchise, books and games.

the old show gets tons of shit but if you consider it was made when xena and hercules were a thing, it fits right in. its low budget and it shows, but its not nearly as bad as it gets credit for.

i fucking love it. i dont like some decisions they made, like witcher brotherhood is alive and geralt mutation wasnt complete, so he is the only witcher that wants to fuck ladies

other than that is just cheesy enough for me to love it

i still need to finish it, i'm on ep 8 or something. its the kind of low brow show i wish aired for 3-4 seasons. it might be cheap, campy, but it does have that low budget atmosphere ala xena/hercules which i compared it to, its great in that sense. a weekly show with geralt fighting puppet monsters in bad lighting to try and hide your shoddy budget? yes pls

Roland throwing the bullets into the air to reload is straight out of every single shitty action movie/game from the early 2000's. Mother FUCK it makes me mad. I think mcconaughey will be a good Flagg, though.

its not that great mang. it makes for good source material. its one of the reasons the movie was so different from the book, and the games even further. its definitely worth a read if you're into the setting but if you read a lot, you'll find much better books. people hump it though because its the source material for a game they love, without having read it at all.

both expansions are awesome. hearts of stone is shorter, i got 14hrs or so out of it trying to do everything, but if you rushed it might be 10hrs.

blood and wine is much bigger and adds a whole new area. the story is fun, the area is very colorful, bloomy. its a good contrast to the swamps around velen. i'd gauge the total time around 25-30 hours.

pirate both of them

Book Geralt sucks ass. He's supposed to be over 100 years old but in the books he gets his ass kicked, nearly killed and saved by sheer luck a dozen times. By the book standards how the fuck did he even live past 20? He must be the luckiest guy on the planet. Also he drinks potions and use signs like once in the entire series. Thought I'd read about potioned up Geralt fighting against epic monsters like Chorts but what I got was Geralt getting his ass mangled by a few Necrophages and getting his throat ripped up by a single monster. Reading the books were a mistake.

geralt is under 100 as of w3. there is a specific convo with vesemir where he says 'youre nearly a century old yourself'. i'm not aware of a book part where they mention his age other than to say he's considered young, for a witcher. vesimir's age is never revealed either but assumed around 400+ years

Only goes to show, that being a witcher is a total crapjob.

Being magically and alchemically mutated as a child.
Wandering the countryside and risking your life for 6 pennies, while everyone you help is just as afraid of you as of the monsters.

But lots of people would be confused by a game, where you are not a ball-to-the-wall hero type, but a magical wandering hobo who is outcast from society and does extermination work for just enough money to feed himself and keep his equipment in order.

And the whole womanizer thing is partly caused by destiny and fate and giving sorceresses magical orgasms on contact. Of course Geralt can be charming in his own way, but he certainly is no Fabio.
