🤔

the magic and superpowers

they still arent too overblown in witcher

Ah, yes, probably

Comparing to some complete shit books they aren't

but of course compared to game of thrones its a different level

but still its a different setting so

I'd say there is nothing wrong with that in witcher

Still muh fireballs and stuff are not interesting to read about. Some... mental magic, rituals, and stuff like this are much more exciting

when you read the books there is a lot of information and lore about those things

even technicalities

so he does make effort to make it "believable"

have you read wiedzmin?

Yes

there arent much fireballs

there are fireballs when they are fighting

Mmm

but thats all really

Well in the big battles for example

There are

there are other aspects of magic too

and they were well explored in the series

so its not like hurr durr fireballs

Still it was mostly some... "pop" stuff

but anyway about gladiator i watched it and enjoyed it itwas a decent movie with a historical theme

I mean, it's the same magic as in any fantasy computer game.

Like in D&D.

Just not the thing I personally would like to read about in the book.

i dont remember what exactly influenced witcher but those were other fantasy books

i watched gladiator iwth my sis and yeah i sperged out at the emperor fighting the gladiator scene

its outrageous

although that emperor has actually been fighting

@rogalik aha, you may enjoy it until your movie standards get higher and you demand more from the historical movies. For example, if you demand all the characters to show like the "spirit of their ages" demands it.

unfortunately people are ABSOLUTELY not interested in history

Gladiator characters basically behave the same as Kingdom of Heaven characters do. Is it what Ridley Scott's movie about Jerusalem was called in English?

I'd love to see great adaptations of some historical things

but they aren't coming

becasue theres no money

yeahs kingdom of heaven

yeah stereotypical bullshit

They behave like there is medieval Christian morality in ancient Rome. But there isn't. And sense of honor of Romans must've been different.
