Oof, Doctor Who. I used to be staunchingly defensive of "my doctor" because I thought it was a funny and quirky injoke and then I realized people were DEAD SERIOUS about it. Jeez Louise, it's fandom, loosen up. I'm behind with the last season aaa but I love 13 to bits <3
And yesss voices. Dubbing is a lost art, unfortunately, but there's a few things that still work (case in point, the witcher games haha) (fun fact: the russian version of 'toss a coin' is delightful)
Henry is a HUGE fan of the franchise!! He played the witcher 3: wild hunt something like three or four times and he apparently had his manager bother the casting people to death, begging them to consider him for the role XDDD i don't think it's true but there's a joke going around where they say that they gave him the role to make him stop XD
The game feels Eastern Europe if you're a bit familiar with the look of European countryside I think! The show definitely felt other in a non-definable way, which I really enjoyed - but it didn't keep the same kind of humour, which is probably what felt missing. There's a definitive playfulness both in the games and in the books that netflix didn't manage to retain -- if you don't take Jaskier into account. Joey Batey really did a very good job, he managed to give a whole new shine to his character.
Yes! The non-linearity is also something that happens in the books a lot so really, they just kept it on brand. I've seen book people complain about it and I'm here like -- did we read the same thing? Fun fact: they forgot that Jaskier was supposed to age, which is why it's always Joey Batey to play him even if he's 18-27-42 years old respectively in the various scenes kdjfhg. We'll see how it goes!
