Liam Hemsworth??

Hmmmmmmm

Well, too bad :(

I like the lesser Hemsworth. This is exactly the kind of work he should be doing. Maybe the change will free up some money to hire good writers.

reply

He is usually too lighthearted and acts in a funny way. I’m not sure I will enjoy his style as the Witcher but will see.

I wonder why he’s leaving …

reply

Henry Cavill was tired of the writers and producers disrespecting the Witcher franchise, particularly where they downplayed the role Geralt has in the story in favor of the female characters, and the last straw involved the [asshole] writers wanting to kill off Geralt's horse, Roach, and try to make it funny. (Anyone who knows anything about the Witcher franchise knows that Roach is greatly loved by Geralt, and one of his closest [nonhuman] friends in the stories).

It's amazing how ungrateful the people making this show are. There are tens of thousands of people who would have killed to get to work on the set of that show, and probably would have written better material that was more respectful of the source material. And yet what does Netflix use? Woke bitchy writers and producers that don't know jack shit about the franchise, just want to earn money, and snicker at the story because it doesn't suit their ideology.

I have been coming here for the past 2-3 years, and comment a few times a week. Second, you are very rude to call someone you don't know a term used by hard-left jerks who think they look tough by swearing. You have your answer, troll, and do not expect any more replies from me. You have been Ignored.

I used to like him better 10 years ago in his Hunger Games era and thought lesser of Chris. But in the intervening years, Chris has definitely come out on top for me.

reply

"Chris has definitely come out on top for me."

oookkk!!!

I'm afraid Liam Hemsworth honestly doesn't have a really strong screen presence compared to his brother or Henry. He's good at playing quiet, mild-mannered men, but that's it. I truly cannot see him as the Witcher, white wig or not.

reply

Hemsworth just retired from acting.
Back to Cavil?

reply

I just made a fool out of myself, actually looking up if Liam Hemsworth retired from acting.

reply

Woops.
Sorry, my bad.
His brother is, not this one (unfortunately)

reply

I guess Netflix loves to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to making tv shows about beloved franchises.

reply

I think their incompetence is manifest.
They just churn out a huge amount of crap as long as it has a catchy hook to sound like a great film or series. So they can pretend their service offers a catalogue of shows you want to pay for.
It is ALL just a bluff.
They do not have the talent to actually make it good.

reply

"...Cavill obviously going to be doing lots more Superman."

Unfortunately not.

enola holmes 3

Just seen the release from James Gunn and one from Cavill. They've told him he's out as Superman.

reply

So he is NOT doing any superman at all.

How about going back to The Witcher and avoid this fuckup alltogether?

reply

They ladies running the show wanted someone willing to do kissing and shirtless scenes.

RIP Witcher

Cavill is in season 3 and it still sucks. It is the Yenna and Ciri show and Geralt is their sidekick. Not surprising since most of the writers are women. I can't even fathom how much worse it is going to be when Cavill is gone.
