The Witcher: Blood Origin is out on Netflix! But in addition to some unbelievably woke & diverse casting, sadly the series suffers from writing so bad it's almost unwatchable.

"It has the first kiss between two men in the show."
Ah yes. The important stuff.
In a show set in medevil Slavic world. Oh yeah…these people are really something.
I sighed a VERY deep sigh when I saw this part......
In whitcher game you can feel our slav culture, our old community, in netflix show you feel american forced point of views, of modern looks of merged people, whe didnt have that kind of mergenig,
@@aguyfromnothere Actually the show doesn't look a medieval Slavic world. It looks like an American middle ages and that's what makes it so bland and meh. I would be so happy if they actually made it look like it takes place in European middle ages.
Yeah no. Talk about culture smearing.
Netflix should just stop. Once Cavill left, the whole fan base literally went with him.
Honestly, season two’s extreme deviation from lore, quality storytelling, and character development chased most of us away before Cavill left.
I mean, in the books, Yen basically adopts Ciri as a replacement for the kids she’d never be able to birth (a decision that she constantly regrets and tries to “fix”) and goes scorched earth multiple times to protect her. In the show, Yen loses her magic (for some unexplained reason) and spends the second season trying to set up some sort of Ciri sacrifice to gain her powers back. Who in the Hell thought that was a good narrative decision?
The fan base may have left, BUUUUT look on the bright side, they still have the PC WOKE LGTV people supporting them by NOT watching but by posting on twitter, And netflix prefer twitter clout than money
Billy Eichner has now taken the role……
@@christaylor7079 I remembered that. They try to make their own thing and hope it stick. But can someone please tell me what is so hard in using the source material and making a good series? Why netflix and other streaming platforms try and ruin a good thing? I'm just hoping to God that Disney don't destroy the new daredevil series because I just rewatched season 1 daredevil(netflix series) and a tear rolled down my eye. *chef kiss*
After watching how he acting after season 2 stuff started you say a hint
It is like Netflix saw the disaster that the show Rings of Power is, and decided "hang on, we can make something even worse than that." And they did.
@@redtigress9167 ??
they always can make something worse... always.

I'm a Polish person, not that it means much, but watching one of our greatest cultural exports get butchered over and over again kinda hurts my soul.
No matter how used I got to watching terrible media, seeing The Witcher get disrespected will always bother me.
On behalf of all the Americans who actually love and respect the source books and wish they had kept true to it, I apologize. Netflix should be ashamed.
omg black people that's horrible 😭😭
As an American, I have made it my goal to read stories from other countries. The Witcher is on my list to read one day and I hope you have a good adaption to enjoy one day.
Yes, it's typical American ignorance, rudeness, and disrespect of other cultures. Exactly the opposite of the DEI (diversity, equality, inclusion) that they always go on about. And then they have the gall to be offended that you're offended...
@@curleyqreviews9793 I highly recommend. These books are so brilliantly written that you will read them with bated breath. It's just worth reading them in the right order.

@Tickled Balls, that’s hot farts, that’s what it is. Nothing to do with Epic Fantasy at all. Like making a documentary about airplanes, but filming some random rocks on the road and talking about them instead. “Rainbow” and “femoid power” cults are showing nothing but hatred towards Epic Fantasy, no creativity, no substance, nothing to show.
Correction. It isn't the origin of the first witcher. It's what the show runners think was the origin of the first witcher which is why it fits into the lore like a square peg in a round hole. They didn't read the books. Or play the games. Or talk to anyone that knows what a witcher is and when they got hired probably in unison whined about why Geralt isn't gay. This could have been a new game of thrones if they came at it with even a tablespoon of respect for the source material and tried to stick as close as possible to it instead of sidelining the main god damned character to smash the patriarchy.
It’s because the creators of both Netflix show’s hate the Witcher with a passion
Gotta smash that patriarchy. It did create the source material after all.

@@Ebi_fuwafuwa You know, there are 2 reasons to become a parent: You try to fulfil a need or you are too stupid to do something against creating a baby.
@LadyAxe13 Best comment. 🥇 So fckn true, I’m crying. They ruined it.
In the witcher 3 there was a side quest, where you investigate on a attack of mosters, together with a hunter. If you talk to him, Geralt thinks he's a werewolf, because he lives outside of the village and always keeps distance to it, but the man doesn't really want to talk about it ,but if you pressure him enough he says, that he loves another man and no one shall find out. This had so much more meaning in it just it wasn't shoved down my throat and was a story told realisticly for the time and world, the witcher taking place
I loved that part. It was actually a main quest in the prologue when you investigate the griffin attacks. And the story is even more depressing because the hunter tells us the man he loved hanged himself when people found out about them, and the hunter went into isolation so he won't be near people any more. A very sad story and the perfect example how can you tell a story well about homosexuality in a medieval like fantasy game. Not like this trash Blood Origin, which has absolutely nothing to do with the world of the Witcher.
Yes! I remember, it's part of the first main quest of the game, in White Orchard, where you take a contract to kill a royal griffin.❤
Oh and if you want a happy gay story go with nobles or royalty. Braveheart had one king or prince that was gay. Film presents that his wife was into Scottish rebel but that was just a gossip
Geralt is actually gay. Just wait.
You have award winning books, award winning games. An AMAZING story! Source material that fans religiously love and protect. The perfect actor for Gerald that was an actual huge fan of the game and books. What does Netflix do? Shit on all mentioned above and create a woke garbage shit of a story…. Because that has worked for anything right?
The aim, of course, is to destroy any remaining property where men are depicted as heroes, who provide any sort of model for men. Who, after all, do you think always, always constitutes the only danger to corporate power once it takes over the state? HINT: It's not women.
"Yeah... but I'd rather tell this hopelessly generic story I had that I've never been able to get published or greenlit. That's just as good as what the people wanted, right?"
The actual source material didn't include all the points of intersectionality that the writers wanted to squeeze into a tiny mini-series.
Right? Its sus af.. or they just plain dumb..
it was indeed a slam dunk... i still like it overall but it's indeed not the Witcher anymore.
It was made apparent that the Witcher would just be a "sideshow" in his own show from Season 1, unfortunately.
Elves portrayed in this show are so...Human. Elves took pride in their way life. Them being one with the nature. They had a great sense of aesthetics which was evident from the elven ruins we see in the games. They were not the people to live in huge castles. They had a knack for philosophy and sophistication which separated them from humans. In every way possible. Their dress, design of their weapons etc. everything just showed how much they were rooted in their culture and took pride in it. Elves were masterful archers which show clearly decided to omit. The elves in the show look like rag tag band of thugs.
but... but they have pointy ears...
Well, elves in the witcher are no that love nature as it seems, they travel through worlds, conquer them, and exterminate or slave its people. When they become few, they have no problem with kidnap children and mutated and brainwashed them to become elves, and they lives like bandits. But yes, they never seems so human, even when they were force to live as bandits they have a eteral air around them.
You know many elves?
Elves didn't start like that they grew to be that way... They warned and had different beliefs. Just like all races do even within their own race... Fantasy is made to tell us stories so it teaches but how it's done now, it's more like they are hitting you over the head with the message. So since ppl don't like being hit they reject what and who is hitting them.
@@bigern182 I know many elves from The Witcher books yes, these ain't it.
The kind of "diversity" Netflix is pushing down our throats with The Witcher is an insult to Slavic mythology, history of Slavic people books are based on and the author himself
- You must try this cake, it was so good. It was made by a gay baker who speaks sign language.
-OK, So how's the flavour?
-What do you mean by flavour? Oh, I forgot to tell, the Baker was black, and he was adopted by an Asian Couple.
-Yeah.sure, but does it taste good?
-Who cares? That's not the point, literally no one eats cakes for their favour.
It's like Hollywood has forgotten how to do casting.
Peter Jackson got it right when he did LoTR back in the day and that was what made it so amazing. Even the relatively unknown actors were perfectly cast.
When you saw Hugo Weaving as an elf who was there three thousand years ago in battle with Sauron, you felt the weight of that moment. You saw the pain behind his eyes.
When you saw Viggo Mortenson take up the sword of kings and go to confront the dead you saw a real king rising up to take his place.
When you watched Liv Taylor carrying Frodo to safety, you saw a graceful and beautiful elf woman who could also hold her own.
It was amazing. And apparently they've forgotten this ancient art.
pretty sure Viggo was a recast. They originally had another actor, who was impossible to work with. Like when they shot the hobbits first seeing "strider" in the tavern, viggo had nothing to do with the film. But yeah, I agree, no casting has even come close since then.
This is like casting black, latino and asian Hobbits for the sake of diversity, when it completely makes no sense. We all know the Shire is very isolated with hobbits except the 6 main ones (Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Bilbo, Smeagol) never venturing outside the Shire and never mingling with other races.
Lefty dIvErsiTy
Looks like being woke is actually losing them money instead of making them more 😂
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
They were so busy ticking diversity boxes they forgot to employ a decent script writer, because the one they did use must have come straight off a teenage soap series. Your Dad knows his stuff!
Exactly what I was thinking...
They ticked a diversity box on the scriptwriters too I’m sure. They no longer hire these people based on merit, only race & pedigree (Jon Kasdan). All the exposition in this was unavoidable though...it only had 4 episodes, the budget was obviously miserable bc Netflix is going broke, & felt like it was put out hastily with cut corners.
They are even so divers there is not even one polish or slavic actor. In this slavic Tales....
@@KurtMidas1510 Beauty of Witcher games and Sapkowski's books is that you have folklore of various European nations you have viking Skellige and French Toussant, Polish Redania and Slavic Temeria. In Netflix Witcher and Blood Origin it all looks like New York and you do not even know genesis of the conflict because it all looks the same and folks there behave like teens drive by hormones
Did the same to House of the Dragon. I stopped watching the Sequel to GOT.

As long time fan of The Witcher books and video game series, this is a low blow to us hardcore fans of the Witcher lore. The director and producers couldn’t go with the source material and rather do there own story that has nothing to do with the book or video game.
Reminds me of the Rings of Power both are terrible
it´s an insult to any fantasy enjoyer... i don´t know shit about the witcher lore and instantly saw and felt that this is bad fanfiction by hacktivists.
As soon as I saw the casting for Triss, I knew they didn't care.
Honestly the only good things we got was the Witcher and cyberpunk anime.
not a low blow at all.
Netflix is the slow kid with drool-stained shirt. he just pooped his pants and wants to show everyone in the class.
It's not bad acting... It's what STRONG WOMAN look like
I legit didn’t know they were elves from the promo material until you told me. They just look like people in the promo images, and I’ve only heard you talk about them being elves. It completely flew under the radar here that they are all elves. Which makes me think this is supposed to be Netflix’s “Rings of Power” which was supposed to be Amazon’s “Game of Thrones”.
🎵Toss a script to your Cavill - that actually matches - the books and the canon! Oh-oh-oh!
Definitely the most relevant version of the song! 👏👏😂
underrated comment
Maybe they shouldn’t have put ‘Witcher’ in the title. And if Netflix actually stuck to the books like they promised Cavill, he wouldn’t have left the show. I was pissed off from the beginning because they weren’t following the books and I don’t blame Cavill at all for walking.

"It explores part of the lore that's never been explored before"
Probably because people don't normally write non canon stories
You're not terrible Lauren. Reading part of one book and then talking to some people who understand the lore is way more research than any of the writers of these series ever did.
Yeah you don't really even need to read the source material to know that this is a mess.
These shows are in no way part of The Witcher universe or it's lore. The closest it ever got to being anyway connected to The Witcher universe was S1 and even that's pushing it, because it was only the scenes Henry Cavil as Geralt that made me go "yeah this is the Witcher" the rest of S1 was pure ass. I didn't even bother with S2 because the writing was on the wall, not even Henry Cavil could save that mess and it seems he agreed with me and the rest of the real Witcher fans and gtfo before S3 (and was probably contractually tied to S2) wanting no part of continuing to massacre The Witcher universe.
Queen didn’t even finished the first book but then proceed to be better at understanding the lore than the entire Netflix writers 😂
I like how the defining characteristic of elves is pointy ears, that's it, nothing else defines an elf.
exactly - elves are humans with ears
Like Netflix inherently doesn't understand the source material. Or doesn't care. So from a superficial (Netflix) point of view, what are elves? Humans with just pointy ears of course.
Exactly my thought.
As polish person after watching 1st season of the first netflix series and the anime I think netflix shouldn't make anything witcher related anymore.
The conjunction of spheres is a cool part of witcher lore not covered much by the books. It's an absolute shame that the opportunity to make something good here was wasted. Ball was teed up perfectly, and they missed completely.

Watched the first episode yesterday and I'm already having thoughts if it's worth continuing..
I couldn't enjoy it because there were no left handed Turkish atheists on the show. Just... couldn't connect.
And they talk about representation.
To quote a line from the show “It’s been done to death.”
the witcher based on polish mythology but they forcing different race into it makes 0 sense..
Not just Polish. Witcher series shows mythology of all Europe
we should be thanking blood origins, they may have finally been the push to stop doing bs like this and actually find people that care for their work.
It explores a part of the lore that hasn’t been explored is top level gaslighting on par with “we’re not changing lord of the rings, we’re just reinterpreting it!”

Witcher world was build around Polish folklore spiced up with Slavic and Germanic folklore. In the oh so diverse cast of this show, there is not a single polish actor or actress. Was it not woke folk who invented term cultural appropriation? Duble standards much.

A veteran member is the one that brings up her heritage... and is promptly separated from his head, pretty powerful stuff. Or maybe she could've just given a speech about her insecurities, who knows?
There is showing, not telling. The general wears fancy clothes, plays social games, doesn't look like a warrior and never fights. Because he is politician, not a soldier. This show was not about how characters find out their own motivations. It is the opposite. Motivations are clear from the start and story is about how they go about getting what they want.
There are red flags (before watching your video, let's see how our ideas match) -- major one for me is, when actors and producers don't speak about show, story and so on, but about "first kissing scene" and so on.

This intentional shoehorning of diversity and female empowerment across media has had an opposite effect on a lot of people, including me. Ten years ago, when people were tossing around the idea of Idris Elba playing James Bond, I was like, “A smooth, badass British guy? Hell yeah, I can see it.” Now, if they cast a black actor as Bond, I distrust Hollywood’s agenda to such an extent, I wouldn’t be able to help thinking, “A smooth, black British guy? I’m getting worried…”
Their relentless insistence that diversity is more important than quality has got me seeing race and gender more than I ever have in the past. It just sucks. Hollywood, you’ve pushed moderate liberals like myself further away with your fanaticism.
What if instead of forced diversity, it was forced Christianity. Pretty sure if quality was sacrificed in favor of every character promoting Christianity at every turn, you’d eventually even get some Christians going, “God damn, fuck all this.”
If you watch it as a soap drama, it's doable.
If you watch it as a Witcher fan, its unforgivable.
They got rid of Henry Cavill, who was AMAZING as Geralt, was passionate about the source material, and was extremely popular with the fanbase, for this crap. And they wonder why their company has non-stop layoffs…

They had great source material, and had a big, loyal fanbase. And yet they still managed to screw it up. Cavill was probably the only reason why ppl still watch the show despite the other problems. Now that he is gone, wat is there to look forward to?
When a seven year old PC game is still lot better than the last Netflix series, Netflix did something horribly wrong.
Hahaha so true. CD Projekt Red is about to release remake of it
The writers couldn't have been more blind to their audience. The audience loves the source material since its where the entire story originates. These new writers as we all know hate the source material and seemed to think they could do better than the original author while at the same time making it diverse, woke, and literally embedded with politics. Huge mistake and Hollywood seems to make this mistake over and over. Add that on top of Henry Cavil quitting the show over these very matters and it makes for a disaster of mega proportions.
I couldn't agree more, it was pathetic. And the inclusion of every woke group and efforts didn't add anything worth while!

@tickledballs9133 nah.. woke means you're awake to the systems of "oppression" holding down minorities . To be woke is to make conscious choices to elevate those that are deemed oppressed. While also taking those seen as oppressors down. It's basic class warfare but with a twist of racial/gender/sexuality, identity politics. Do you know who the "oppressors" are?

I'm a newer fan of The Witcher as I started playing The Witcher 3 only a couple years ago but immediately fell in love with the characters, the lore, just everything. Seeing this series with monsters and magic before the Conjunction of the Spheres which is where monsters, humans, and magic all came from. Well it just pissed me off, it's just another series I love along with Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel (movies) that has been ruined by woke and identity politics. Also I'd really really like to know where the hell Elves got a hold of a Necron Black Stone Fortress cause that's what the monolith looks like
What Netflix has done is actually impresive af. Being polish, I can tell you for a fact, noone thought the Netflix Witcher content would be worse than the first Witcher TV show made by us. Simply due to the budged. But they actually did it, it's really insane lmao.
I really recommend watching the OG polish show, don't get me wrong, it's bad, but it has something Netflix' Witcher lacks, atmosphere.
Personally speaking this series looked bad from the first trailer that was dropped for the show. I had no desire to watch it then and them firing Cavill doesn’t help much either.
Actually cavill didn't get fired he quit cause they didn't want to go by source material from the books and game's
Exactly, the trailer was horrible lol. You could already tell it would be utter shit;p
@@Grimm_Lord95 where did you hear this?
A Black Woman and Gay People in the polish mythology old age .. oehhmm .. okay ...
Calling it "The Witcher” is like slapping the name Duracell on a pack of Dollar General batteries. Then you get them home only to find out the DG batteries were stolen and replaced with random bits of unidentifiable debris.
Not only were the cast insane. The people who work on the show are.
People still do not get it! They aren't actors, but hired ACTIVITST, disguised as professional actors, who spread MARXIST propaganda. As long as people will think this is some kind of fairytale, it will only get worse because nobody expects this to happen (so no action can or will be taken against this deviate degenerate development).
A massive difference between showing and not telling would be House of Dragons in comparison to this show. This show uses 4 episodes to squeeze out like a weeks worth of events in which a good portion is said rather than shown. House of Dragons does a lot of showing and manages to squeeze several decades into 10 episodes while making every episode feel like a great movie. You feel engaged, you not only learn about characters but grow fond of them and you just feel yourself slowly slipping into the universe this story is taking place in.
Blood Origin feels like a TikTok video made by teenagers...
The acting in house of dragons is very good. Thats also a reason actors should think twice before agreeing playing in a s*it show. A director in a s*it show is not able to exploit the acting skills of the actors. the actors look worse than they actually are. And thats not good if you want to have a good future as a actor and not end up in some Steven Seagal movies.
House of the Dragons heard the call of having to improve on the goodwill lost in season 7 and 8 of GoT and answered it soundly. Every episode was done with consideration and care with GRRM closely involved for a change. No ego. Just talent.
Weeks worth of events? Try months. The soldiers of an empire were wearing the new insignia in what felt like the next day
What is that moneymaking formula that your dad talked about when he was explaining about Hong Kong cinema? Can you make a video expanding on it? Or is there already a video? Sorry this is my first time watching your channel.
Just wondering where did you get those sakura panels at the back.
It is becoming so difficult, to find something worth watching nowadays. When will it be enough for them???
@Rage Kage You guys should go and watch Jdramas and Kdramas, they are lot of Netflix and u will see they are still hope in humanity lol, but american shows, are trash rn
There's decades of stuff worth watching. Go back, enjoy the classics.
Watch The English. One of the few shows I enjoyed this year. The writing, acting and directing are spectacular.
They will stop only when every last European is erased from the West.
The political correct sjw diversity mafia controls everything nowadays.. trying to brainwash the masses into the liberal way of thinking like them.
That's gotta be one of the most based Dad's I've ever seen.
Thanks again Lauren for watching these shows so we don't have to 😂 also I love the inclusion of your dad in these videos. He is so cute
They could have gone full Tolkien with the elves, there’s so much attraction in that. Instead they made them human. Completely kills the whole mysticism or elves
They could even go make them Asian. Just be consistent with race as they are the most racist fraction in Sapkowski's books
Looking at the cast tells me all I need to know.
Yeap.
So them adding ppl of color makes the show bad?
Bon Appetit!
@@JemRau sorry I don’t do shit sandwiches. You can so have my helping if you’d like.
I have a feeling they cast Michelle yeoh just for the name recognition. She's the only one I feel bad for thats working on Blood Origin.
true, hope her career can continue after this, guess she had no idea how bad the writers could be so took the job. She shouldn't be a victim for trying to be a part of something when the studio running the show fails her.
She was great in the show - also the actor for the first witcher (don't know him) great acting!
Name recognition?
@@armouredjester1622 Kind of like clickbaiting people to watch the show. They see she's involved with the show and only watch it because of her.
@@Kozoku oh, you misunderstand. I know what "name recognition" is, I was making fun of the fact that I have no fucking idea who she is, thus, name recognition means fuckall to me in this specific context. She is no Dwayne Johnson or Will Smith.
You know why she didn’t cry when her sister was murdered? Modern women don’t cry. It shows weakness
People that are even remotely fans of the books/games knew this show was going to be PLANET SIZED trash by just looking at the trailer, not just because it was pretty uninspired but for ONE key aspect, them moment they say "Before humans came to this world" that moment solidified as trash, why? you might ask, well pretty simple the "Conjunction of the Spheres" event in the novels and by extention the games is a very big deal but it is NOT the humans arriving to the fantasy world, for you see the universe of The Witcher used to be your everyday mundane medieval world, with no magic, no monsters and no other humanoid species, it was basically Earth until a massive hole appeared in the fabric of reality and every single universe that could or couldn't exist mixed into one for a fraction of a second enough to leave entire populations of EVERYTHING into a mundane medieval world, meaning everything else is an Alien to that universe, including magic, this throw the entire world into chaos, cause a hell of a lot of territorial wars to start out of the blue and make peoples lives a hell of a lot difficult when suddenly monstruous creatures and alien humanoid species with wacky powers suddenly started popping out everywhere, including your standard fare of fantasy trophes but also creatures of a universe of pure entropy where heat and life doesn't exist and that are completely and truely immortal aka True Vampires....
The moment the writers of the show decided that they where going to take this Dark Medieval Fantasy universe and turn it into your standard D&D game it was pretty clear most people wanting to see the show because it is a serialization of their favorite universe would just not watch it, which meant the show literally had no audience by the trailer and then it was just a matter of see one or two episodes to solidify this as a flop.
Let face the fact. Witcher blood origin is the show the show runners and writers wanted to make.
This is why Henry Cavil left. He KNEW!
"Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!" -- Robot Devil, _Futurama_
We have a word for this in german: fremdschämen! It means "to feel embarrased for somebody else". This is how I feel when watching actors and writers and everyone else who is involved in this mess and trying desperately to defend this bullshit which is actually an insult to intelligence.
This is the kind of show that would be considered mediocre 10 years ago. But it is considered decent now a days because of how far our standards have fallen in the quality of series making.
Considered decent by whom? It has the lowest review scores by both critics and normies of anything.
I’ve played the games and watched the first two seasons. They should have done the origin like a horror story where humans are dying in droves by monsters, then mages and knights form the. First children Witcher’s through cruel experiments and hard trainings. The story would then follow those young ones slaying monsters only to end with them establishing the different Witcher school.
so they say in the series the first witchers and strong female rastagirls offspring will become Ciris Bloodline right, from their hankypanky after his conversion, but they totally ignore the Lore-Fact that witchers are infertile due to the "becoming a witcher" process
thy never read book, they only saw friend playing Witcher 3 and want to make tv shows based on the name alone
i mean technically they boned before he became a protopseudosortakindamaybewitcher
true, but without the kindamaybewitchergene from boningbeforeturning where is the special op ciri bloodline coming from, so many holes man i need some swiss cheese
@@yibrahimovic569 obviously from the black girlboss elf who could have been the first witcher if that pesky patriarchy didn't stop her
Hey, I'm Bryan, Lauren! Hola from Montreal! God gave me a working brain and i'm too poor to consume Netflix stuff. I'm so grateful for that!
The analogy with "troubled couple deciding to have a kid to repair things" - epic! Bravo, well put!
really it just describes society in the West.
particularly America.
Shout out to Papa Chen! The REAL Star of these reviews! 😜
Anyway, thanks for watching these shows so that we don't have to.
Hope you had a great Christmas and have a great New Year.
P.S. Hope to see you back on FNT or TISM soon.
Papa Chen always makes the videos even better.
Your dad is shooting from the hip with just a stream of consciousness and is more coherent than Netflix shows.
Not even going to bother watching anymore Witcher productions from Netflix. They hired the wrong people to produce it as they, despite claiming to stick to original material, the product proves they don't have any respect for the original material.
hi i’m new here and i rly liked this video. i just watched two commentary videos on this show and got annoyed cause they just complained for 10 minutes but didn’t tell the story or gave examples of why the show is bad. one of them didn’t even show a single scene of the show. so i’m really happy i stumbled upon this!
the video was really well made and i love the dad cam btw haha
i also just want to see more women in the commentary side of yt cause imo they’re not being hyped enough
so I just subscribed and am happy to see more from you! :)
When I think about warriors woman, I always think about the amazons on the first wonderwoman movie, the directors should go to some gym or even ask for real fighters to participate in their movies/series. Even Gal Gadot trained hard as fuck to be more muscular and be more believable.
showrunner living in their own circles. imagine if they go outside and social with normal human being, none of this will happened
Amazon's in Wonder Woman were real women why can't women be like that
Watching women marathon runners, gymnasts, and figure skating is so admirable!
Yeah that was good casting and you could see they’d done load of gym work to beef up and look like actual warriors. Some skinny chick who weighs 50kgs is ludicrous as a warrior. She probably couldn’t wield a real sword or draw a bowstring.
"Two men kissing" feat Witcher Stuff, the series.
Very well presented. This was my takeaway as well (though there were more expletives in my internal monologue).
You know it would be more liberating to make big strong 160 pound women warriors and kicking ass instead of 100 pound supermodels. Why do women have to be pretty and feminin all the damn time! Brienne of Tarth...i say no more. That's how you create a rolemodel...
I started to watch Ep1, but then I got out my chair to let in my cat,. I also made some coffee, as I felt no need to hurry to get back watching it. I decided that cleaning out the catbastards litterbox, folding clean socks and taking out the trash before bed was more important. Never finished it. I felt I was watching some Uwe Boll version.
The part where her sister got killed she was cosplaying a man, remember they said men not showing emotions is bad I guess it's ok for women to do it now.
If you want to talk about bad casting, you should know that Eredin (The gay, scrawny General) and Avalach (The dorky mage in the blue cloak) do appear in both the books and the games and if it wasn't for their names you wouldn't even know that they were the same character.
If you type Eredin into Google, the very first thing you see if a terrifying, large, 7 foot tall warrior elf in black skeletal armour and a red cloak.
Avalach on the other had is portrayed as a wise, mysterious elven sage with magic and knowledge beyond anyone else in the Witcher universe. Here, he's just a 14 year old nobody who probably would get beat up in high school
Lauren you and your father deserve to review something you both enjoyed. I appreciate you watching these disasters so we don’t have to 😂😂
