If your way of making Dandelion canonically bisexual is to age up a child (that grows up to be a xenophobic megalomaniac) to make him his love interest I'd rather you kept him straight.

Rereading The Witcher for the bajillionth time and reminded why I want to torch Netflix Studios and eat popcorn while it burns.

Those fuckers butchered my beloved book series. Rot in hell, corporate cunts.

Way late to the party but I am still PISSED about how badly Eskel was both done dirty and absolutely wasted as a character in Netflix’s Witcher. They also seemed to realize that they forgot(for non-book readers) to show just HOW MUCH Eskel meant to Geralt so they also threw in that little “flashback” which also did nothing.

Will I ever stop being salty as fuck about that?

Nope. Not a chance.

That killed the show for me. That and how crappy Jaskier is also handled. I didn’t bother with season three.

Rant 3: Radoskier

When they announced that ship, I was surprised, like alot of witcher fans because wtf it's so random. I don't understand why they had to make that ship canon in series. They had to change Randovid's age and it's such a tryhard. If somehow that blog was suggested to some fan of witcher netflix series:

OG Radovid in books was Vizimir's son. During action of books he was something like 12. He is younger than Ciri. And in games he is fanatic who hates magic, sorceresses and non humans.

That ship feels so forced and I feel like even if they wanted to make Jaskier bisexual, they could just make OC character and not tryhard with Radovid.

Also, Radovid is so bland character. He reminds me of shitty sub uke characters from yaoi. He is stupid af, he doesn't think before making actions. I wonder if they created him like that on purpose or no.

Are they really trying to portray selfish deadbeat Visenna as tragic and sympathetic by killing her off offscreen? After she knowingly and deliberately abandoned her son, sent Geralt to suffer horribly and potentially die from monstrous experiments on children at Kaer Morhen? And they’re actually playing that decision off as having been done by her out of selfless “love”? To “save” him?” Presumably so he could eat, even though Geralt states she was capable of using her magic to make them food? We’re supposed to buy that poorly written, asinine, intelligence insulting excuse, care and feel bad for her contrived, non canonical death now? 

Give me a goddamn break, Lauren.

truly do not understand how people can watch and enjoy the netflix witcher it’s one of the worst shows i’ve seen in my life

[clairedelune-13]

When I say I’m a Witcher fan, I mean the original novels and the games, cuz I actually give a shit about Slavic folklore.

The show has made it clear it doesn’t.

[daffodillz]

the idea that y.ennefer would rewear a dress to the t.hanedd conclave

[suzieloveships]

I can't believe I have to say this but ageing up the character who is a child in the book so you can tell a new romance story in your show is fucking creepy!

It was creepy when they did that in Earthsea, it was creepy when they did that in Game of Thrones and it is still creepy now in the Witcher!

Rant 4: Ciri and Yennefer

In netflix witcher it's barely possible to see age difference in Ciri and Yen. They look like they are friends from highschool or something.

•CIRI:

In my opinion, Ciri is way too old, in books she started as 12 and finished as 16. Meanwhile here she looks like she is 20 and acts like she is older teen. She doesn't act like young girl that both Geralt and Yennefer had to raise and teach her things that they believe in. Ciri after short training in Kaer Morhen acts like she is better than Geralt. He is only her support and she kills all the monsters and fights elves. Ciris personality and story in series is personally offensive for me, because I always saw her as my absolutely favourite character, yet in netflix series I hate her. She is such a mary sue who as teen is stronger than adult witcher who is mutated and trained. Congrats netflix, you clearly have no idea how to write strong women without making them mary sues and annoying.

• YENNEFER:

Same issue as Ciri. Yen doesn't match her age. She is way too young and acts way too chaotic. She doesn't seem to be advanced sorceress who finished Aretuza and had her own practice. Since second season, she acts just like begginer sorceress student, who knows maybe 5-6 spells. But somehow netflix tries to making her a saviour and martyer by making her do bad things ----> getting punished ----> deciding to save everyone. In second season she tried to sacrifice Ciri to some Baba Jaga from aliexpress who was cheap version of Mr. Mirror from witcher 3. (And let's not forget how Lauren promised to not take inspirations from game). In books, metting of sorcerers and sorceresses was normal thing that happened ocassionally. But in series ofc they had to make Yennefer throw party to "make friendships, not enemies" and shit like that. Yennefer is one of worst characters in whole series, just like Lauren didn't read her description in books.

In books, Yennefer used to call Ciri "ugly", because Ciri was just a kid and as a kid she wasn't really pretty. Now, when in series Ciri propably is 20 or around 20 it just seem very cynnical, just like Yen is jealous about Ciri and Geralt or something xD
