Since when is killing off disable character a simplification?

Since when is getting rid of character intelligence simplification?

Since when is erasing author's culture from the story simplification?

Also they pretty much called americans stupid, like I'm begging this team to shut the fuck up already or admit they have no idea what they are doing

Lauren Hissrich: Season 3 of the Witcher will follow the books closely!

Me: This isn't what following the books is supposed to look like. Obviously you've never read the books, Lauren....

First, I think it’s safe to say that it’s a bad writing decision when you have to explain on twitter why you did it. Second, why are they attempting to rewrite fundamentals of the story? Why would Geralt already know how to be an emotionally connected father? That’s not what I got from Season 1 or the first episode of Season 2 at all. Episode 2 is the first time we meet Vesemir and the other witchers, and I don’t automatically get that Geralt has been loved super well by them. Why would he have been? He literally talks about being starved and beaten at Kaer Morhen? And we know the trials are awful. Plus, Geralt hardly mentions the other witchers in Season 1. So why should viewers assume that an outcasted, alienated group of monster hunters knows how to love (in a healthy, emotionally in-tune way)? It would make so much more sense of we saw the show’s stoic, stunted Geralt struggling the handle his fatherly emotion for Ciri. Why shouldn’t Netflix Geralt struggle with that? It’s infuriating how much the writers lean into the audience’s foreknowledge of the story and characters only to butcher and rewrite it to their whims.

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!
