[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) I had to stop admitting how much I hated the Witcher because of the torrential down votes I would get. It was irredeemably unwatchable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Honestly the first season gets a pass from me cause Henry cavill did a spectacular job even with lacklustre writing. That second season was a step back in every way and after finding out that they'll continue the series after cavill leaves because the writers are sh*tying on the ip, I just haven't bothered watching the 3rd season. Nothing their to keep me invested anymore. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dingus@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) That's sad because it's absolutely trash. Writing is trash, sets are trash, costumes are trash, makeup is trash, CGI is trash. Also, super unpopular opinion: Cavill wasn't a very good Geralt, yet everyone wants to jerk him off like he's the only saving grace of the show. Nah, he fucking sucks, too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm upvoting you for contributing to the discussion but I have to disagree. I think they did get a lot right with that show. Many of the things you mentioned. That said, the most important stuff, like the story itself, the pacing, the characters failed to hold up. The show started great and didn't know where to go from there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dingus@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* I'll cop to part of that, it definitely had a good start in a lot of ways. CGI and effects in first season were far better, to be sure. Costumes were absolutely panned and changed due to how badly they were panned. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-witchers-wrinkly-testicle-armor-has-smoothed-out-in-season-two/ permalink fedilink source parent [+] CubbyTustard@reddthat.com 1 point 2 years ago* [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
