That's very sensible!! Unfortunately the wank is strong with this one. I had to mute a whole discord server because there was a majority of book fans who engaged daily in shitting on the tv show. Which sure, different strokes for different folks, but it was just downright disrespectful and petty at times. I didn't just leave because there's a bunch of Polish fans who have interesting insights on the Original TM material, but oof. (Unfortunately even the "closed" communities aren't safe -- the gamers fight over who's the Romance TM between Triss or Yennefer, and the fans of the show fight over who's the Romance TM between Yen or Jaskier. Not everywhere but it's pretty common, unfortunately.)
Right!? But clearly I haven't been looking into the right places, because I've interacted with fans here only in the few past days.
I'll be honest, I was scared about the show because my first medium for the franchise was the game and Geralt's voice actor was basically 89% of the experience for me. I remember watching the netflix trailers with the audio off bc I didn't want to hear what Cavill sounded like lmao. But I shouldn't have been worried, Henry is THE nerd when it comes to the games and he actually went out of his way to sound as gravelly and deep as game!Geralt. It's truly uncanny at times!
I don't understand people who complain about the timelines - if anything they give the show the precious characteristic of being rewatchable! You want to rewatch it so you get all the little hints!!! For a thing that has been dropped all at once on a platform where it's readily available, it's a feature, not a flaw!!!
Anyway I really reccommend give the books a go, even if they have their flaws - Geralt is even more charming in them. He's a bit of a loser but you can readily see his heart of gold from page one and it's super endearing. You might spoil yourself for the series though!
I would keep going but it's already long -- im not kidding when I say I would NEVER shut up about the witcher if asked dkjfgh
