    The short story Renfri comes from is essentially a dark and tragic twist on the snow white story. Her step mother had this magic mirror that told her Renfri would kill her and many others. The step mother went to the council of mages to have her investigated (Stregobor was sent) he watched her and determined she had been mutated by the black sun and wanted to have her isolated in a tower. The man that was sent to capture the girl raped her instead. She killed him and ran off learning to live as a thief to survive. The Stepmother sent assassins after her over and over filling Renfri with nothing but hate. When the Stepmother eventually died Stregobor was convinced it was Renfri. When Stregobor encountered Renfri he cursed her by turning her into a rock which was broken when a prince found her and had the curse removed. Renfri spent the rest of her life hunting Stregobor down until she eventually cornered him in blaviken and you saw the ending to the story on this episode. Renfri's story has to be one of my favorites from the short stories sapkowski wrote.

    A witcher Has two swords one is made from Steel and that is used for humans/beasts like(wolfs, bears, etc) the other is a silver sword for monsters so when she said: "Magic doesn't work on me but silver does" she was saying by her doing this act she has chosen to be a "monster" right after she says that Geralt says ( silver is for monsters) showing he still doesn't believe she is a "monster" that's why the whole fight he is holding back trying to give her a way out.

    For the confusion, I will just point out two things from this episode:
    1. Queen Calanthe told Ciri that she won her first battle when she was Ciri's age. When Renfri talked to Geralt, she mentioned that Calanthe had just won her first battle.
    2. When Mousesack was trying to get Ciri to calm down, he mentioned that a long time ago, sorcerers used to lock little girls in towers and kill them. Kinda like what Stregobor had just been doing the last couple years with all the girls born under the Black Sun.
    Make of that what you will. ;)

      These are actually very nice and subtle hints, and also something that most people miss easily. If you miss them you will be confused during a few more episodes until the obvious realization of their implication for the story. It should be pretty obvious about now what those 2 hints meant, but anyway: mages and mutants do not age at the same rate as humans, or horses :)

    Geralt is absolutely a mutant.
    When he was a child he was subjected to brutal mutations brought on by powerful magic potions called "The Trial of Grasses"
    Only 1/3 of the boys subjected survive, the others dying torturous painful deaths.
    This mutation changes their eyes to be more catlike, enhances their strength and agility, as well as their senses. Geralt can see incredibly well in any light, smell like a dog, and hear a pin drop a quarter of a mile away.
    So yes, he is actually a mutant.

    Renfri already gave her name at the bar though, so you were supposed to realize who she was in the wizard’s tower. And also when Geralt said her name again near the stream. That would have been more climactic.
    That was a good first reaction to this series! You guys have a lot of good stuff to say which made this enjoyable!
    Also like you heard, this show is a little confusing early on (intentionally) if you aren’t paying attention, but that shouldn’t be a problem since you guys are reacting to this show and pretty much staring at the screen the whole time.

    Withers are mutants created by intense alchemical processes and consumption of mutagenic compounds. They have cat-like eyes to see in darkness or blinding light (that's what i miss in this show), increased strength, speed, reflexes, endurance and resistance to diseases.Also they can perform simple combat magic in the form of signs (Geralt used Aard sign in this episode).

      These mutations can have extreme side effects though, like death, insanity, blindeness, or Geralts white hair/ albinism, a result of additional experiments on him, or indeed emotionlessness, which is how the rumour was born that Witchers don't feel. Geralt does though, though not entirely humanly...

  • @ner0p
    @ner0p 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    After Renfri saw Geralt as an obstacle to her revenge, she was set to force his hand. Renfri was not only consumed by her troubled past and her thirst for revenge, she was probably cursed/possessed/mutated for one reason: before her battle with Geralt, he attempts to dissuade or disable her using one of the 5 magic "signs" (spells) that he can cast, that spell/sign is called Axii and it works in a few different ways, but in general it can temporarily alter someone's state of mind, somewhat similar to a Jedi mind-trick but with a broader range of applications...
    Anyway, the spell does not work on her, and she says so herself; even before that she probably predicts her own death, or at least she predicted Geralt's stoning which happens after he kills her, and her last words are about his prophesied destiny. Although she doesn't seem to be evil, it is plain that she is ready to burn the world to the ground to exact her revenge on Stregobor.
    And this is why her death was bitter-sweet; until the very end there was no reason to doubt neither Renfri nor Stregobor, in fact both argued to Geralt to be the lesser evil in the conflict, and both proved Geralt's point: _Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling… It's all the same._

      also, her sheer fighting ability simply isn't natural. Normal humans generally can't stand up to Geralt... though there is a certain bounty hunter who will appear in future seasons but I'm not so sure he's a normal human either even though it doesn't sound like he was deliberately created.

    Geralt's eyes change from yellow to black when he takes potions (which heighten his already super-human senses and strength).

    0:49 Dos Cavazos: "We don't know much about Witcher". People in comments: "Don't worry we are here to spoil everything" :D
    19:35 They show how Stregobor managed to speak with Geralt first. He sent Marilka in the bar to intercept Geralt before he has a chance to speak with Renfri. Well, it's just a psychological trick. Whoever tells his/her story first looks more trustworthy.
    21:06 I think the Curse of Black Sun is just a superstition invented by mages. They used the curse as excuse to kill young princesses and make magical experiments on their bodies without retaliation from their kingdoms.
    29:39 In medieval times a death by blade viewed as a honorable death, while a death by poison - not so much.
    31:14 Basically, there are 3 possible points of view. Both Stregobor and Renfri were evil murderers. Only Renfri was evil. Only Stregobor was evil. It's your choice.
    36:43 Geralt tried to protect her body and took her medallion/brooch with him when left Blaviken. To me it means he thinks Renfri was not evil.
    37:00 Ciri, Geralt and Destiny - all these is going to be explained later in the show.

    His horse Roach is named after a type of fish called a roach, not the insect called a cockroach.
    The novels were written originally in Polish and the horse's name is Plołka (I might have the spelling wrong), which only means the fish. But when it's translated to English it's called Roach which is more confusing because that word most commonly refers to the insect, not the fish.
    Geralt always rides a mare instead of a stallion, which works well in Polish since Plołka is a feminine noun. He's had many horses over the years but always gives them the same name.
    I've actually been learning Polish partly so that I can read the novels in their original language. They're great stories.

    Renfri isn't a she wolf, however she is also technically a mutant. Stregabor was telling Y'all the story behind her in the beginning
    Renfri was a beast in swordplay, but no she wasn't holding her own..... Geralt was holding back so much because he didn't wanna kill her.
    Cirilla didn't know she had powers, they just came out because her emotions were at an an extreme.

    As for Renfri she was just a human. However she was born under the black sun along 60 or so other girls.
    Essentially it was a prophecy that a child, female specifically, born under the black sun will bring waste to the earth. She was just a badass because of what she had to deal with being prosecuted.
    That makes the scene so much more complex. Because now Geralt killing her is now seen as a grey area. You have a Mage killing girls/women purely off a prophecy. A women actively seeking to kill the mage in revenge (ignoring that she was hunted down 1st). And finally whatever of those 2 evils you chose from there is a potential prophecy that Renfri can bring forward.
    Geralt tried for no one to die but we saw how that worked out. Also that's why he didn't cut his head off, he is NOT an evil person even when he has every right to be.

      but, she is also resistant to magic and a supernaturally good fighter, and may also have some kind of ability to influence others. So she probably is mutated, but being a mutant doesn't make her a monster. IMO Geralt doesn't want the autopsy done because he doesn't believe that what happened to her should be justified by her mutations, even if she is mutated.

I'm thinking I'm in on this...always enjoyed Cavill, and seeing him in this era feels good. This series is very much Game of Thrones-esque in the way of numerous characters to get to know and no one is sure who is loyal to who/who can be trusted. Keep up the great work!

I wish season 2 would come quicker, but they gave us a gem with this series. It is #1 in the world right now. I gave the show a shot a week back, and i absolutely loved it! I can definitely see this one becoming a huge budget series like GoT as long as they keep writing good episodes. If you wanted suggestions on other shows to react to, i would suggest Chernobyl on HBO. Best show of all time in my opinion. I subscribed! Thanks for sharing the video you two! :)

    It's just like GoT. All the names will be familiar, I remember always calling people off their physical traits lol. As far as reviews the people who like the Witcher whether its the games or books gave it very high reviews. Ik you two arent familiar but think of this like GoT season 3, slow but sets the pace for season 4-5. Next season will be more of what you expect from this genre.
    All in all you don't need to know about this at all, it will make it a lot slower since you don't know what the show is building towards like the people who have played/read the material but like you said if you like the genre it will have a big payoff if you keep watching. Glad you guys enjoyed this episode! Hope you guys fall in love with the characters as much as I did from reading and playing the games!

  • @VampireHunter5790
    @VampireHunter5790 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be fair to Refri her main target is Stregabore who has persecuted and hunted her for her whole life for Nothing more than the circumstances of her birth. Gerault saying "Silver is for monsters" is a reference to the fact that witchers have two swords, one of steel for everyday used and one for Silver which is super effective against the super natural. By saying that Gerault is telling Renfri that he still believes that she can do better, that she is not the monster that Stregabor paints her to be, the last thing Gerault wants to do is kill her but he will if she gives him no choice. Hence his anger towards Stregabor after.

    Sorry to keep commenting. I'm commenting as I'm watching.
    Geralt definitely has emotions. The fact people think they dont is a myth that the Witchers dont correct because it helps their purposes if people think they are killing machines. It makes people afraid to cross them even though the people hate witchers.
    However, Geralt very much has human emotions. Hes just great at hiding them

    Renfri is supposed to be a dark Snow White. Evil Stepmother with a magic mirror tries to kill her. A hunter takes her into the wood. Her followers are supposed to be gnomes, but there are human in the show. But there is 7 of them still. The sorcerer in the Town, even has the bright red apple in his hand (and though the show does not show it, she was poisoned by an apple in the books).
    And as for his Eyes, when a Witcher fights a monster, they drink one or more type of potions. These potions have a side effect of giving him black eyes,

    All monsters created by magic are vulnerable to silver. Werewolves are just the most famous in universal lore. It's why Geralt has a regular sword and a silver one. Fair warning (though without spoilers) that there are actually 3 different timelines happening in the show that will eventually converge. Ciri is the present. Geralt starts in the past and moves forward. And another character you will meet in episode 2 starts even further back. Just keep an ear out for context clues.

  • @Dewrassd
    @Dewrassd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The reason why the noble takes 2 poisons from the guard and not 3 is because he leaves one for the guard, allowing the guard a way out should he wish to take it. The guard would be expected to fight to his death on the battlefield, the noble realizing the savagery Nilfgaard possess, gifts the guard a way of taking his own life painlessly for his service. @Dos Cavazos

  • @ComickerSeikatsu

    Just a bit of advise as people seem to have issues with this series in terms of timeline. The scenes of Geralt and Yennefer are set in the past up until the final 2 then the scenes with Ciri are what's in the "present" of the shows timeline.

    This show is being based off of a polish fantasy book series and has already been adapted into a very successful video game series. Personally I’ve played the 2nd and 3rd game of the trilogy and let me tell you that the third game is an absolute masterpiece, the second is pretty great as well. However the game series is quite different to the books it adapted from, therefore the show will be a lot different to a lot of people already familiar to this world and it’s characters. If you haven’t played the games however I highly recommend it. At least the 3rd game.

    By the way characters like renfri and stregabor are side characters and this show is based off the first two witcher books which are short stories so they aren't going to do much character building with characters like renfri to make you care its all about geralt yen and ciri the next season which is based on the blood of elves is going to have a more direct linear story so its easy to follow so this first season is like a little demo for next season where the shit really starts happening its an introduction basically
