Henry cavill gets replaced

Excalibur eredeti hozzászólása:
Henry Cavill is leaving because the writing has been mediocre or terrible and it hasn't been following the source material.

This had recently come out...

""I've been on shows—namely Witcher—where some of the writers were not [fans] or actively disliked the books and games (even actively mocking the source material)," DeMayo said"

Thus Liam Hemsworth is suppose to be taking over for season 4 and that's even if there is a season 4.

That is very very bizarre. Weird

Replacing the main actor at this point will kill the show. I can't say i have been a fan of a lot of the casting decisions, but Geralt of Rivia actor they did a pretty good job.

Agree.

Who cares? The people who write for that show admitted they loathe the books and game franchise. It's purely a passionless, temporary gig for a quick buck for them. In the industry, they call that hack work. Never a good sign.

You do know the show is based on the books, so your statement makes zero sense ever.

I literally said the TV writers hate the books. You really should read comments before you start arguing with them.

I'm not even sure what you are exactly arguing about.

I explained that your words made no sense because they based the show off the books.
It was very simple, and I'm not sure how you completely misread what I wrote on such a massive scale.

It makes no sense to claim they hate the books, if they literally based it off the books.
That would be a literal paradox.

Wow, that's naive. They were paid to adapt it. It was a job. You realize a lot of professional writers don't necessarily like the stuff they are paid to work on, right?

The show is truly heading for a flop, ... although I would argue it already has.

Cavill wants to focus on Superman instead, which is understandable. Plus I don't think he was impressed with the show, since he was supposed to be the focal character, which he isn't anymore. The show is not about Geralt at all, not after season 1.

Will people even bother waching season 3 after this news? As long as Cavill was there people still had hope that it would turn into a proper Witcher series. By announcing his leaving they might just have doomed season 3 as well.

I thought the show was OK as a generic Fantasy show, but it definitely did not feel like anything Witcher-related, they removed everything that was European about it. Similar to how Amazon removed everything Brittish and European from their Rings series.

Yes that is true.

The logic of the people financing the show baffles me. They must have the intelligence to understand that the main people who will watch the show will expect something similar to the books and/or video games. That's the big attraction.

Thus, in my world it would make the most sense to hire writers and directors who - like the fans - have read/played the core material that the show is supposed to be build upon, and have enjoyed the original material.

In other word, you have to write for the fans, that's how your show becomes successful, gets high user ratings, and makes you lots of money. Do it really well and your show might be even be labelled a cult classic, which Game of Thrones became in my opinion.

Not writing for the fans, ... well, we've seen how well that turned out for the majority of recent Hollywood movies and TV-shows.

From what I have heard, he has an issue with the writers hating him since the beginning when they wanted Ciri to be different than the established lore, and has signed on to bigger things elsewhere.

They are paid to do it. You don’t have to enjoy the material to make something with it. His words do make sense, it’s a failure on your part to understand. Don’t blame others because of a failure on your part.

THat's beyond bizarre though.
Since again, it's well established it was based on the books.

But I guess they lost the plot, no pun intended and wanted to ruin it.
That's fair enough.
I didn't realize that.

Well, I understand now.
Geez, Incarnate, try to be more friendly, it helps your credibility.

You can base a show off the books and only have characters that share the same names while nothing else is in common.

Er. Yes, but again, it was established originally that wasn't the case. CLearly it just lost the plot as I said and is stupid. Like it was made by the CW. :P OH, wait, they're more accurate to the source material at times. LOL.
AGHH.
