- Freya Allan gives us a behind the scenes look at the stunts and choreography that transformed Season 2's Ciri from pampered princess to badass Witcher-in-training.
- Zábava
It's worth a lot when actors do their own stunts. It makes scenes so much more believable
Starring in a series like The Witcher seems like just a dream job! Props for Freya Allan for training this hard to perform her own stunts!
I appreciate the work and passion that Freya put into scenes like these. It definitely shows!
I appreciate what she said about feeling good about working hard.
It's true.
No pain. No gain.
When you feel stiffness the next morning, it means you did something right yesterday.
Freya's so lucky to get to do scenes like this!
She is the strongest witcher because she didn’t die of fall damage
haha - no question Geralt from Witcher 3 would have died every time - even with the snow as a crash mat
Can not wait for season 3!!
Freya Allan should really play The Witcher 3 and play as herself
Freya Allan is amazing! Such a kind, loving, adorable, talented and beautiful actress. Being the same age as me, She will always be one of my most beloved actress of all time. ❤️💜💚🥰😍🥰😍

I saw her fun during these episods
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Show us how you done this masterpiece with eskel.
I am big big fan freya allan
when will the blood origin finally get released i cant wait
Though, being a purist, I didn't like Ciri's training in the books because Geralt and the rest of the witchers were horrendously demanding. Her entire body was full of sores and wounds and more importantly, she was having fun. She loved those trainings and thought it was the best time of her life afterwards. Whilst in the show, Ciri is moody, so very teenage type.
This girl is one of the most beautiful woman ive ever seen
Anyone here wanna discuss about books? 🥰
The books are amazing! I love discussing them.
Could talk about the books all day and about how Netflix is dooming this show to failure or how the show can recover from all the bullshit they did in season 2
@@meatbagkiller7174 Netflix isn't dooming the show and it will be a success. There was no shit in season two and just you being a shit Witcher fan.
I was sure, that obstacle course with swinging hammers was real. I was wrong. It was just another green screen...1:29.
She bears a resemblance to Elsa Jean
Me first
Good choices for all of the actors, but please follow the books...
They are.
@@LNER985 baba yaga is not in the Witcher books
Every fairy tale is open to interpretation ... that is the genius of the books. And the reason why the brilliant games got away with not being faithful to the books.
And the same reason why the TV show has gone in a similar direction to the game ... using the source material, but reinterpreting it.
I can't wait.
@@jazzx251 Hmm, thing is that they follow the books, but they skip 80% of the source material. If you've read the books you would of known just how much they are skipping...changing...
Elsa Jean or Ciri we need a video at the Epstein island from her
Witcher training in books: multiple lessons with all witchers Ciri about monsters, potions, swordsmanship and footwork.
Witcher training in Netflix: *fall guys: ultimate knockout*
Edit: and swinging sticks at dummies
this comment had me dead 💀
They will get there eventually
@@kongkonasahadola2949 that was supposed to happen in s2 BoE but if I were Netflix I'd fill in the unused parts of that book in the first few episodes of s3 since ToC doesn't have too many story arcs.
-in the first episode they could show some training with the Witchers right before they leave Kaer Morhen where we see the witchers actually become Ciri's family. After that they could fill in the scene with Yarpen and the Scoiatel where we could see Ciri and Yen start developing their mother-daughter relationship which was butchered in s2.
-Next episode Geralt leaves Ciri with Yen and goes to track down Rience and meets Philippa (Philippa screen time is urgent since she and Vilgefortz are the main characters in the events on Thanedd) We also see him meet Kodringer (bet I butchered his name) and Fenn. In the meantime we see Yen training Ciri.
-In the next episodes we should see the rest of the stuff of ToC and 6 episodes are more than enough for that since what makes these chapters really big in the books is the dialogue.
But I am certain the writers won't do any of that
Also I'm still waiting for Ciri skin in fall guys
@@meatbagkiller7174 I haven't read the books.....all of these seemed like a spoiler
This series is a disaster. Zero Logic and zero book adaptation.
i watched the entire show and... was dissappointed with her training scenes because even kids can do that! even here at the end, one of the witchers cuts the doll into two and they react as if he slayed a real deal monster in a blink of an eye... like damn. i could also do that. just give me a knife sharp enough
That scene of Lambert was supposed to show she can't swing the blade as hard and all.
But yeah, The Trail Ciri trained in the books was hellish, dangerous and she could break her bones at any time instead of some gymlike structure. She had to run like a deer, they enhanced her abilities with witcher supplements and all.
I don't understand the craze about that particular really light blonde. Human hair cannot handle being lightened to that colour for long periods at a time so the actors have to wear wigs. Like in the scenes shown here, the wig is so obvious and at times looks really bad, especially if the actor is hiding long hair under the wig. Why not have it a colour that the actors hair can sustain, like the one she has in the interview.
Because Ciris hair is important. It marks her out, ashen hair is a trait of the elder blood.
@@subutaynoyan5372 But her hair isn't ashy blonde in the show.
@@KNYD Well it probably wasn't eligible or they thought it looked bad on Freya. Doesn't mean they'll go brunette with Ciri
@@subutaynoyan5372 And you don't think that wig looks bad on her?
I'm not saying she should be brunette.
"Why not have it a colour that the actors hair can sustain, like the one she has in the interview." She's far from brunette then, she is still blonde.
@@KNYD Nothing looks good in this season overall. They changed Geralt's eyes a bit too. Made it look like they're always shining which is terrible. It was more like honey colour previously and it looked decent enough.
Sets don't look good either. I was so bamboozled by how bad everything was didn't even notice her wig she doesn't look the role anymore, because they turned ciri from a kid into a young adult.
Please change showrunner.
Hater.
They're certainly not going to change the showrunner just because a few narrow-minded, frustrated book fans are whining
@@starindl962 idc it's not like the books it just doesn't make sense at times. Even the story doesn't make sense at all.
@@user-gw1li6jq5i What do you think doesn't make sense about the story?
@@starindl962 on the animated film that was made by same person as the show the whole plot is mutated monsters. And when Eskel dies in S2 Vesemir says first time I'm seeing a mutated leshen. When his battle with one was the start of the movie.
Too bad you guys ruined the story with the whole 2nd season.
But hey, keep the writers who don't even like the story as is....but replace the main star instead..right?
Sound judgement...good job ruining an awesome story
This was possibly the only good part of the whole second season.
Wich, alongside the Blaviken episode and Yen's backstory, are the only 3 good things across the whole series.
Kudos to the actors, but the writers simply screwed the series rather badly.
You know?
If YOU could write a little script of your own ... you would create the perfect TV show, just for you ...
But you CAN'T can you?
[An adaptation of Jaskier's mistake in episode 4 - where his personal pride almost ruins the elves and Yennefer's escape ...]
This is a great TV show. I'm sorry you haven't had as much fun as I've had - I disagree. The writing is superb - so many great character moments and situations.
@@jazzx251 In all honestly, I'd love to.
Especially because, unlike the showrunner, I know the difference between "adaptation" and "original story".
Please tell Netflix I'm available.
Jokes aside...
I do understand why people both like and dislike the show.
Don't get me wrong, the show is indeed fun to watch. I mean, I've watched it.
The problems start if you've read the books... And please, give me at least the benefit of the doubt: huge problems.
You see, not only did both Netflix and the showrunner lied about this being an adaptation. But the original story they're telling here is sub-par when compared to the books' plot.
"Netflix's The Witcher" is a completely original story.
It's sometimes vaguely inspired by something that happens in the books, but it's absolutely a different story - with different characters.
(Yes. Yennefer, Triss, Ciri etc. are in the series - but they're different people that only happen to have that same name. Geralt is very close to the book's character tho.)
Of course, I'm NOT saying that "different is bad" by default. Look at the Goblet of Fire movie, it's different but it works.
Here tho... It doesn't.
This series is 100% inferior to the source material, by a lot.
Does this make it bad? Nope.
It's not bad.
But knowing what they could've done, it surely is a missed opportunity.
@@marinomele4575 Well Marino - I'll tell you what else is not faithful to the books ... "The Witcher 3" - one of the greatest computer games ever made, and the sole reason this show ever got made in the first place ... (and the reason I'm now a huge Witcher fan who is still only halfway through 'Tower of the Swallow')
It doesn't need to be the same as the book - that would be impossible.
Not least because these young actors are killing it - Anya, Freya, Joey ... how could any director say "You're not in the next 4 seasons, but you come back in season 5 - sorry - but that's what the book says - I can count on you coming back, yes?"
Of course not.
These terrific discoveries MUST be given something significant to do - otherwise we lose them.
That's the nature of TV.
That means shoe-horning them into the plot. And they did a great job of that this season.
The whole Baba Yaga thing was genius ... because it's entirely in keeping with European folklore - causing major trauma for several main characters.
But we got what I wanted - an awesome Ciri training scene. It was brilliant! :)
The book suggests that she's done some training - "well, there's 'the comb' ... and then 'the pendulum' ... and then the 'windmill' .. and they knock you off, but you have to get straight back up - otherwise you'll be scared" ... but we see it on the screen this time ... even more awesome and terrifying than I imagined!
Again - that scene owes more to the game than to the book. But I think it's the best of the series, among several terrific scenes.
@@jazzx251 Dude, of course TW3 is not faithful to the books... It's a sequel.
There's nothing to be faithful to.
The game's trilogy is a non-canon continuation of the books.
I too like when they expand on something, like Ciri's training and Yen's backstory. Of course I do.
What I don't like is they saying "this show is faithful to the books", this season is based on "Blood of Elves"... But it's not true.
The Show is a reboot and S2 was an original story.
Let me ask you this: do you know what's in S2 that's actually from the books?
I promise you it's a complete original story.
So, why they had to lie?
And why they're still saying it's a faithful adaptation? It's clear they want to do a COMPLETELY different thing.
Especially since now they've established a storyline they need to follow - so from now on it'll be even more different.
Then again, I've already said this but it's VERY important: I'm not against it being different.
It's just a pity that these differences are worse then the source material.
PS
It's pretty apparent you haven't read them, but the characters were all in that book they scrapped.
So no, it wasn't for TV reasons - it was a deliberate choice.
this serie is dead already becuz of showrunner the girl i dont know her f name she destroyed the show
Lies.
Freya be sippin on those salty tears lol
You are cute, the series is one of the most successful series on Netflix. The series is far from dead lmao
( ! ) - look for this symbol on your remote control, the next time the Witcher TV show comes onto your screen.
It's called the "off button" - it turns your TV off ... might seem obvious to us oldies, but we often forget that the uneducated don't know how a remote control works, or what the symbols might mean.
@@jazzx251 I just noticed that's why I removed the comment. my mistake sorry
