#that’s why now he’s making his own warhammer (known for having an incredibly incel-y extremely right wing fanbase) show

I was wondering the same thing as the other anon actually; i was taking a break from social media when i heard about Henry Cavill leaving twn and i thought people were taking his side but never really dug any further.

So honestly if you have time, i wouldn't mind hearing more.

lmaoo alright so here’s a semi deep dive for anyone who wasn’t present for the deuxmoi hcav gate of 2022

okay so everyone started speculating when the news of his recast broke and the general consensus was that he left for the superman money which imo was definitely a big part of that. i don’t believe he left due to “creative differences” im not saying there weren’t any, on the contrary there must’ve been a ton, but everyone who worked in the industry or knows someone who did will tell you that “creative differences” is code for there was something else going on. plus quitting a job that pays you 1 million per episode due to a petty thing like creative differences in literally insane.

and then dc dropped him like a week later which was honestly one of the funniest days of the year.

so when the internet is arguing about all of that the deuxmoi podcast comes out initiating that there was a lot more going on to his twn departure.

believe it or don’t believe it i think there’s definitely some kernel of truth to it. a lot of this checks out with what we already know. he already refused to do a sex scene with anya in s2 so that turning into a refusal to do ANY romantic scenes is not far fetched (i’m not strong enough to get into sex scene discourse as well, everyone should do what they’re comfortable with i agree with that wholeheartedly, but geralt is a role that requires romantic and sexual scenes so don’t take it if you’re not comfortable with that)

the weird alliance thing is about beau de mayo who was actually fired. he’s also the one who accused the other writers of not respecting the source material and started this whole weird thing. here’s a tweet from one of the current writers speaking about him (cropped for x’s legal safety, it’s been since deleted)

then an entire storm started on reddit and here are some posts of people speaking up that i managed to find

believe it or don’t but i’d rather be wrong than support a nasty misogynist. i think he was a nightmare to work with, wanted more creative control and a bigger pay rise and netflx didn’t agree in the end and that’s how it ended.
