I didn't have high expectations going in and thought Henry was miscast (probably because I love game Geralt and his voice far too much) but they managed to create something cool which I ended up bingewatching when I should be studying
My biggest fear was bad CGI but it was solid, I think the cringiest moment was the talking dragon but it was shortlived
On a side note, some really attractive women on this show. Renfri and Parvetta were smoking
Why shouldn't it? Fantasy gives them liberty to do whatever they want, no?
I don't actually believe this, I'm just wondering if you still think it's a good excuse.
Renfri and Yen are hot. Parvetta looked like an ugly version of Taylor Swift (who I don't personally view as very attractive).
It's not just background people though is it? It's some of the main characters whose looks are well established in the book and the games. Also, it's not just 'a fantasy setting'. It's based entirely on Polish lore. It's wildly disrespectful to their culture when a bunch of liberal americans twists it to fit their agenda. By the way, i'm not making this up. One of the main writers have been gloating on twatter about how one scene signifies Europe accepting American diversity ideals or some shitWhat I believe casting wise;
If Geralt were casted as an asian, etc. Then I wouldn't agree with that. Military people, background village folk, people passing by....what does it matter in a fantasy setting?
I would not expect to see a plane flying through the sky, and if there were such a thing happening, there had better be an explanation.
In a fantasy world with magic, monsters, witches, wizards, dragons and everything else under the sun, various races appearing scattered throughout sparingly should not be the end of the world.

Yennefer is insignificant? Triss is insignificant? And keep your insults to yourself. You don't even have a clue what you're talking about, you're in no position to act like you do. Do you even know the first thing about the Witcher? It doesn't look like it so maybe instead of showing your ignorance to the world, perhaps you could do just a tiny bit of research before jumping in with your hot takes?Grow the fuck up and get over yourself.
If they had changed the race/skin colors for main characters, then OK sure. But on insignificant people who aren't essential to the plot, then it's pure crybaby stuff.
Be that as it may, she is still a very significant character in The Witcher universeI am pretty sure they plan for Triss to be insignificant in the Netflix series. They have their three chosen characters. Triss will likely continue as a (very) side character. I cannot even imagine her as a romantic interest with the way the actress has done things and how everything has been set up.

Yes there is something wrong. She is not caucasian as the character is established to be. Triss was a little strange? You think? I like how you've just ignored that you got btfo'ed with your first take about them being insignificant and just change tactics. Probably after googling both characters since you clearly had no idea. The fact remains they race changed two of the main characters. No amount of handwaving is going to change that. How about you get over yourself and stop posting hot takes when you don't even know what you're talking about?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with who they chose to cast as Yennefer. She is a fine choice.
Triss was a little strange at first appearance, but she grew on me.
Again, get over yourself.
No. There is not. They cast a woman with an Indian father. To many people, she could easily pass for a Caucasian. She plays the role very well and is quite a good looking woman (boobs were outstanding). If you're triggered by that, then congratulations, you've become what the SJW crowd is.Yes there is something wrong. She is not caucasian as the character is established to be.

Are we pretending they didn't do both of these castings on purpose now? Clearly, they did. Also, it's not about what i envisioned she'd look like. It's about a game based on a book based on Polish folk lore where she is established to be white with red hair. Same goes for Yennefer, who is described as pale. That actress is not pale. If they won you over, good for you. I'm not being sarcastic here. They still did 2 blatant race changes and i'm so fucking tired of media doing this. It's almost always one way by the way. Where are the iconic black characters played by white people? That will never happenNo. There is not. They cast a woman with an Indian father. To many people, she could easily pass for a Caucasian.

Anna Shafer who plays Triss is an english actress and model.
I can agree that she doesn't look like who I would have envisioned, but she did a pretty good job and won me over.

Yay! Lets pick fights over small pointless things that don't change the story at all!
Yay! Lets pretend the constant race switching of white characters isn't real or matters! Lets all mindlessly consume products without caringYay! Lets pick fights over small pointless things that don't change the story at all!
Oh no! She is 3 shades darker on the teeth whitening comparison chart.Yay! Lets pretend the constant race switching of white characters isn't real or matters! Lets all mindlessly consume products without caring
Oh no! Someone is pointing out something about my favourite product this week! Now i can't consume like a good bugmanOh no! She is 3 shades darker on the teeth whitening comparison chart.
Story is fucked now.
My post in the previous page...Oh no! Someone is pointing out something about my favourite product this week! Now i can't consume like a good bugman
I didn't read any book and played about 5h of the 3rd game (got bored of the shallow combat and sold the game), so.. So far I'm finding it ...entertaining enough...
Could be better, but it could also be a lot worse, so I'm OK with it. Still have the last 2 episodes to watch.
People have been changing character appearances/slightly altering race for ages now. Game of Thrones did quite a few times. It's only now that people get outraged by it.Are we pretending they didn't do both of these castings on purpose now? Clearly, they did. Also, it's not about what i envisioned she'd look like.

So you don't know the lore and you enjoy the show? You don't care about the race changes? That's fine too. Why do you care that i care though?My post in the previous page...
They remind me of Anita Sarkeesian. Just the outrage is on the opposite side.Oh no! She is 3 shades darker on the teeth whitening comparison chart.

And it should stop.People have been changing character appearances/slightly altering race for ages now
No, she's awful.No. There is not. They cast a woman with an Indian father. To many people, she could easily pass for a Caucasian.

Not true. I've been arguing against it for ages. Nick Fury, that horrible Fantastic 4 movie etc. You're also ignoring how it's almost always one way. Where are the iconic black characters played by white people?People have been changing character appearances/slightly altering race for ages now. Game of Thrones did quite a few times.

Both sides bad. Me enlightened centrist. What a novel and fresh take. Never heard that beforeThey remind me of Anita Sarkeesian. Just the outrage is on the opposite side.

Gender changes annoy me, like Dr. Frank n Furter in Rocky Horror now being a woman (playing a man that dresses like a woman) or the new Cinderella's godmother that is a gay man.So you don't know the lore and you enjoy the show? You don't care about the race changes? That's fine too. Why do you care that i care though?
It doesn't matter to you. It does matter to me and a lot of other peopleIt absolutely doesn't matter, other people than white folks can righteously so be a fan of the franchise and play a part if they want to. These characters dont even exist to begin with outside of an imaginary depiction written in a book
Make new characters, then. Leave estabilished characters how they are.It absolutely doesn't matter, other people than white folks can righteously so be a fan of the franchise and play a part if they want to.

When out of argument - use racist insult. Dude, you're at NPC levels now. You can't even articulate your stanceGender changes annoy me, like Dr. Frank n Furter in Rocky Horror now being a woman (playing a man that dresses like a woman) or the new Cinderella's godmother that is a gay man.
Race changes don't.
A woman is a woman, a man is a man.
Only a fucking racist would be bothered with it.
It doesn't matter to you. It does matter to me and a lot of other people
That's not a fallacy because i'm not using it as an argument for anything. You should probably learn the fallacies before invoking them. Now you look ignorant. I'm simply making a statement. Why does you not caring matter more than me caring? Just ignore me and go awayGot something else for me than the appeal to popularity fallacy ?

Is that supposed to be legible English? Keep shit posting broWhat I thought, you can't think. Keep the whitegate fight bro
Thanks for admitting you're out of arguments and outmatched
Both sides bad, again. That's fallacious because i'm not trying to cancel anyone or dox them or what ever. I'm simply expressing my opinion. If you think people are stupid enough that they will be swayed by a couple of forums posts by some random, that's one you. By the way Alien and Aliens are fucking awesome but that's besides the pointYou want to know why ?
Because people like you are deadset on making everyone else be outraged about things that in the grandscheme of things that don't matter. Race changes/appearance changes have happened for ages for as long as books have been converted into movies.
Just like the SJW crowd that screams racist/sexist/homphobe/whateverphobe, you are doing the opposite saying SJW-agenda at everything. Instead of them screaming what SJWs scream, I now see people like you screaming "liberal/SJW agenda!" everytime a person of color/strong (or weak) woman is shown. I say this as someone who absolutely despises the overly-PC culture. Trust me.
I swear if the movie Alien or Aliens were released today, people like you would be screaming that it is SJW material. Seriously, you would.
What the fuck happened to people just assuming that maybe, just maybe, the creators are just trying to entertain us? Most entertainers are liberal, that is pretty much a fact. If I only limited myself to people who shared my viewpoint I wouldn't be able to enjoy anything.
I guess, I just don't really care about such things and I am much happier person because of it.
Yes, there are times when it's stupid. Warner Brothers supposedly trying to make Superman black would have been a perfect example. When 20th Century Fox made Johnny Storm black was another example.The changes to the actors dont bother me but then I can think of other things it does bother me in..
The little mermaid for one.
I'm simply not going to continue arguing with you because it's pointless, as if I needed arguments to defend a slightly darker woman playing the character of a white woman.Thanks for admitting you're out of arguments and outmatched
