i saw the first episode just 2 hours ago

i find it cringingly mediocre

I wouldn't give a 7/10 to most series

it feels very cheap

@l3x dont understand me wrong, many, many people say the same, that they liked the short stories but but the saga was somewhat way worse

it's just I don't see a single actual reason why would you argue some, I don't see any lesser quality in writing the saga

like, i'd be ashamed to market such a let-down as hard as netflix is doing right now

it's just a different form

i dislike the destiny/bloodlines aspects alot, they feel so forced

and boring

muh destiny

the magic does look cheap, but I can enjoy watching television theater whey thay have props cut out of cardboard and painted lightbulbs to produce special effects

when people argue that short stories are good and the saga I just don't see them raising any valid point at all <:thonking:318673885497262091>

(like old dr who)

it feels super cheap, and the vfx are often direct-to-video movie tier

>it feels very cheap
the budget is rather high the thing is they went straight into the magic and the big magic, its a big drain on the budget PLUS witcher is a high fantasy universe and you need that cgi practically everywhere

my only gripes with saga: ciri is an OP OC fanfic tier(donut steel), and the whole destiny crap

and the dialogue is awful

super naive and/or fake

the fight scenes were good, with infrequent cuts

netflix 2/10, books 8/10, gaems 7/10

>books 8/10

but the "destiny" in saga is well founded and not really forced it doesn't appear that often, it's well founded because there's a neatly done historical background to it(the elvish prophecy) and also the "scientific" aspect of the bloodline

lol

the author goes quite in depth into that and the pieces are revealed step by step over the saga

so yeah i dont see writing mistakes as such

thing is, i mean to read it again

has someone finally translated into english, but professionally

i love all the neat details in witcher books with the songs, prophecy, "encyclopedic" definitions

i read the early en translation

which is horrible

also i loved vilgefortz : )

hmm idk

havent even seen it in english

my favourite thing about the books, that it has the tolkien's middle-earth feeling, that the world is changing

the old magic is nearing its end

my favourite aspect is that the world is grey

like the part where the sorceress has a dream with a witcher, in the forest

how she calls him geralt

> my favourite aspect is that the world is grey

lmao
