Darc_Requiem Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 Hey @Maxxthe only thing I saw was a Cobra Kai thread with no responses. So here is you go. Netflix thread. Have at it fam. Maxx, OPTIMUS124 and DangerousJ 3 Quote
Maxx Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 Ayy yes. Who's watching the Witcher show? I'm loving it Quote
Darc_Requiem Posted December 27, 2021 Author Posted December 27, 2021 I've seen both seasons. I thought the first season was great. Second season was so so. I'm really not feeling the actress they have playing Yennefer. They took some liberties in Season 2 and even as a Witcher novice I could tell something was off. I saw the "twist" for the second season coming a mile away. Henry Cavill and Freya Allan (Ciri) have been great though. Quote

So I have no concept of how they shod act outside the series. I assume the twist is the dad but even so I'm confused by his statement. Is he taking credit for killing the baby or saying he ordered it.... Because if it's the ladder uh? I didn't see the twist coming til they literally said who could know about her.. But obviously it's someone family or her court related. But it brings up other questions how did he build an empire again without anyone noticing. Quote
Darc_Requiem Posted December 27, 2021 Author Posted December 27, 2021 Well just to be safe... Spoiler Eskel is a major character. He and Geralt are really close like actual brother's and they just kill off him randomly which isn't supposed to happen. It's a deviation from the source material and I don't get why. Not only did they kill him off with minimal screen time. They didn't even do a good job of portraying the type of characters he was. They had him acting like an asshole which is Lambert's thing. I don't get the thinking behind it. The showrunner said it because they wanted a major character to die for the effect on Geralt. She's seemed to overlook something significant. The only people that are going to know he's a "major" character are the people that read the books or researched the lore. So normies are going think he's just some random Witcher. Fans are going to be pissed that you killed off one of their favorites. Rationale doesn't make sense to me. For the general audience to know he's a major character, you'd have to actually spend the time building him up first. Sonichuman and Maxx 2 Quote

OH yeah I have no connection of that being major lmfao Wellman and Darc_Requiem 2 Quote
Wellman Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Same but despite what they say, I feel they are aiming this adaptation being based on the books at normies who are just watching the show and those like myself who only know the franchise from the third game and worked back. Although as Game of Thrones shows in later seasons going to far off the ranch for the less experienced audiences and to ease up your own workload can back fire. Quote
HD-Man Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Started on Cobra Kai season 4 Spoiler Silver at this point is actually a better teacher than Kreese, he's more psychological than physical, but I see a wedge growing between them, so they'll turn on each other inevitably Quote
GreyFoxx Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Half way thru Witcher S2 enjoying it so far. For sure Kobra Kai is on for tonight! Quote
