Ok I understand your issue now
And I agree
That's pretty dumb if it's just to please people's "racism" alerts
geralt having a beard in the games can be justified, in the games Yen or Triss (cant remember who) asked him why he grew a beard seeing as he never liked them and then he comments "i have kinda gotten used to it"
small change easily justified and explained
This doesn't make sense
They want to stick to the books, but completely change a character
...
Wot
haha no man , i think i confused you, the game largely sticks to the lore of the books and add to it in a way where it would be fittin and lore friendly.
Netflix/The producers of the SERIES said they are gonna follow the books strictly
so i was using their statement against them, being so strict to the lore that geralt will be clean shaven, but then 5min after that saying they are gonna make a MAJOR character black/not part of the lore
cuz ciri is explained in the books to be pale and white
No I understand that completely
I get you
sorry if i confused you hahaha
I wasn't don't worry XD
hopefully you now get what i was saying
Completely
That's why I said it's stupid
yeah, i love the witcher, would defend anything that SJW;s try to fuck up. for example even tho im not a huge star wars fan i kinda feel the pain of having someone fuck up childhood/gaming/movie memories
Same, It was such a shake-up in the industry. After playing it I've never really had the same investment in any other game
That's why I was so excited for the TV series. But now...
Mxm. Another dream crushed I guess
Still not fond of them choosing Superman...why? Just because his voice? I can see a slight resemblance, but it's not enough..would honestly be better if the whole movie was computer generated so that Geralt..looks, sounds, and behaves as Geralt does in the games....I'm sick of people who don't play video games or those who don't know about lore...producing films..just because they can...they rarely do content\characters justice..I wish they would just stop... @Apollo Assassin's Creed for example..couldn't even finish that fucking film..
I'm comfortable with henry cavill he has some resemblance to geralt and special effects and makeup will help alot, looking from fan edits and photoshops im happy. henry cavill is also a fan of the game and the books, he has played some /medievel/fantasy roles. He is such a huge nerd he missed the casting call for justice league because he was playing world of warcraft @ZombieQueen
I'm just happy we got someone who is a fan, that to me is a huge win.
AC was boring, nearly fell asleep
Let's hope his interpretation gives us a decent portrayal. He may be all of those things, and that's fucking awesome if he knew\liked the games\character beforehand, but that doesn't mean he can control production or the direction they take the film. He's just acting in it. 😛 @Apollo
He is a fan and i don't see him turning on the community of book lovers and game lovers. he will try and do his best within his limits of his contract, but I'm sure he would not sign it if it didn't respect the lore and characters @ZombieQueen
but i understand that the image of superman is hard to shake, thank goodness for make up and special effects😂
Yeah the ciri thing is a huge dick move considering they want to stay true to the books.
To paraphrase Cirilla's description from the books, she is tall, but not as tall as Geralt, but considerably taller than Triss and Yennefer, she reaches up to Geralt's shoulder, and is slender and slim, "cigarette built", because of her elven genes, more skinny than curvy, boyish-like hips, and her face is evergreen youthful "baby face" with big round clear green eyes with a white complexion, plump lips and little nose, but the only thing differring from her girlish look is the very strong angular jaw (think Megan Fox, but not as angular as Monica Lewinsky). Her cheekbones are also not that expressive, and her face shape is triangle. Her hair is straight, fine and thin, ashen-blonde.
Well, if they going to take the liberty of straying from the book in this regard, you can bet they will push other boundaries. This will be yet another platform to push political propaganda, after all, the Witcher series is highly charged with racist and heathen themes, the interpretation is what scares me really, considering the ideology that is running with project. Going to be interesting to see how they portray Ciri, considering CDPR had to tone down her character to be rather appealing to the players, in the book she leans more to the darker side psychologically, with evil intentions. Will we see this side Ciri portrayed accurately considering she's now going to be blek? Lol
