#and that the less power and influence these actors have over lauren and co the absolute fkn worst it is for the show

[mechadria]

im honestly still just as wary about the next season of the witcher even after the table read -

because it was never about liam's acting skills.

do i think henry cavill was a spectacular match for geralt?

yeah. but not only because of his looks or his acting: he GOT geralt and the witcher in general. he's a massive nerd who knows the franchise like he wrote it himself and was a big reason (not the sole, but a big one) that the show kept on track and was even somewhat faithful to the original material.

but i don't believe cavill did a regé jean-page and like. left to seek stardom or whatever. this was a passion project too for him, you could tell.

no, I'm wary of the future of witcher because of the higher ups involved.

so what DID the people who disagreed so hard with him he quit the project do? well, they needed a 7000 word letter from joey batey and the fanbase pleading just to allow jaskier to be queer like he (pretty much) canonically is. didn't need incentive from anyone to create fake gay motives for the worse villain of the story, though. didn't need incentive to completely ruin one of the most beloved characters of the franchise, or let his actor get harassed on socials after the swap without ever saying shit.

i do not trust that these people, who have proven callous, arrogant and ignorant about both the source material and the opinions of the fanbase (and have made some choices nearing bigotry) and who disagreed so heavily with the actor who knew the source material best are capable of producing a good season 4. liam or no liam. am i hoping he's a good geralt? yes, the series and other actors don't deserve to have their performance harmed by him. can it be as good as the seasons cavill was in? for the reasons cited above: fuck no.

#the witcher #the witcher netflix #twn #witcher #geralt #henry cavill #liam hemsworth #adding tags because apparently yall cannot be trusted with critical thinking #i dont like henry cavill #but if you think actors read the books their roles are based on i will be making fun of you #i apologise for not having consumed every single piece of interview abt this show #i do that thing where i go outside instead its pretty nice #every single contrary comment is like “well i dont like cavill SO” #ok neither do i? #doesnt change the fact that he did more than a lot of hollywood does (the bar is in hell people bffr) #and that the less power and influence these actors have over lauren and co the absolute fkn worst it is for the show #yall are embarrassing fr
