What I hate the most about modern media is how they try to make extremely evil characters the good guys and act like we're supposed to like them
It reflects reality.. like Democrats. Lie project and gaslight.
They ARE (like) the evil characters and they want OUR affection and they are confused by the fact they don't get it, just like they don't get that they are like the bad guys.
@@RyoMassaki true say. thats y shitflix keeps making shows with witches as the good guys and writing the story for us to sympathise with them. Disney does it too.
Oh you mean the main characters? 🤣
the writers are psychopaths and do not understand that one semi kind act does not make up genocide murder and things alike.
As a Polish person I'm mad that there is nothing left in that adaptation saying it's A SLAVIC STORY &MYTHOLOGY,!
Oh, you must be one of those nasty racists I've heard about. How DARE you request Slavic representation in your slavic mythology!
These "diverse"cast is super cringe
Polish people are block heads
You nailed one of the (many) big issues with these IP shows: they wouldn't be as terribly received if they didn't try to call them that IP. Sure, they'd still be terrible shows, but at least you wouldn't have the added hate of the IP fans who'd been betrayed.
Nrilliant we shall call it the IP test!
That intro was far better than those awful sounds that we heard during the bard performance in the cantina. Or a pub. Or bar. Or tavern. Or whatever...
😂🤣 she needed more auto tune like her twin IRL, the rapper Future. 😆😅🤣
It's not her fault, but she has one of those faces, that come off as arrogant without even trying.... Such a person being portrayed as a Robin hood doesn't work and instead comes off as a Mary Sue with a higher opinion over everything.
Thats what i thought
@@johnblaze5553 I don't actually think you can increase the autotune used by your average rapper. It's already set to 100%.
The reason it's upside down is because it was really filmed in Australia and it takes a while for your Northern Hemisphere brain to convert it to right side up
Oh God- now I'm even **more** depressed - why does my poor home have to host this travesty?
Oh well, I can assume the landscape shots are good, if nothing else...
Nah. There are some really good Austalian productions and coproductions such as for e.g Crocodile Dundee, Storm Boy 1976 or Guardians Legends of Ga Hoole. So no it is not because Australia it is because authors are woke
this show is a prime example of why 'diversity' really can be a massive detriment to a fantasy series
any race, from any nation, can be any color with any facial features and any accent
i would ask if anyone can make heads or tails of this world, if they understand fuckall about any of the characters or their motivations unless explicitly told, or if they can keep track of who belongs to what faction or why anyone is doing anything
it's fine to make different cultures or different nations a wide variety of skin tones, but for the love of god at least attempt some sort of consistency with it
I wonder how many more years before all those big studios hit rock bottom and start making things people enjoy again
People are sheep and don't cancel their subscriptions, o the big studios will do just fine.
BUT ! Soon we won't need big studios anymore. Have you seen what AI systems are capable nowadays ?
Writes will soon bring their own creations to the screen, without any production company, and the audience will decide what to watch.
Netflix took the Witcher, where is was:
- rooted in slavic mythology
- a grounded take on fantasy
- griddy and morally ambiguous
- a reflection of Eastern Europe
Took away all of those things and inserted:
- modern politics
- generic, bland fantasy world
- diversity that dilutes any resemblance of slavic culture or lore
- caters to young women
- adds men kissing
Shocker that Henry Cavill left and the show is failing.
I guaran-damn-tee you that the reason the show gained so much good will in season 1 was because it was the season Henry Cavill had the biggest hand in.
it doesn't cater to young women. young women don't want god awful characters no matter the gender or age
@@emhu2594 it's for the "mOdErN aUdIeNcE"
I'd like to know more about the reflection on eastern Europe part... I must definitely read the books. Not surprised they ignored and sidelined any reference to the culture and traditions the Witcher is inspired from. Hollywood and these streaming sites are ignorant and racist af and only use the dumbed down versions of SOME cultures in order to push an agenda or sell more. At they same time, they try to take something anyway if they think they can make a few dollara, just ignoring the cultural aspects if it's from a "not politically cool" tradition (like with Tolkien).
But anyway, they prob wanted to cater to a specific demographic of mainly a certain group of girls (shippers) cause most franchises and cult fandoms have a huge shippers fan base and they think these girls are dumb and will enjoy any trash... But shippers (who are not automatically fans of any series with men kissing) tend to look for good characters and strong bonds between characters. They'll never have shippers or a fanbase without good characters. Usually fandoms loved by young women and shippers are actually those with the best characterization.
@@danwarb1 wrong. It's the politics, casting, AND writing.
Netflix definitely needs to stop tossing coins to these crap writers and show runners that destroy beloved IPs.
Shit is so diverse there's not a single polish actor in the entire cast
you know what's worse than hating it....
knowing you have no interest, and never even tuning in
Apathy is the ultimate insult to this kind of woke nonsense. I hear Picard season 3 is actually good but I have no desire to even watch.
@@moonlambo5229 I've heard Andor was nothing like anything lucasfilm has put out in a decade, and was worth watching, but they have firmly made me not care enough to even try.
Same scenario
After game of thrones season finale I just don't get invested in shows anymore lol HoD I waited few months before I watched lol, for witcher season 1 was really good, season 2 I noticed a shift in story it's more yen and Ciri than geralt now for season 3 idgaf
I'll never watch anything GOT again after season 8 idc how good people say it is.
I mean, the writer apparently bragged that he wrote this show in one evening on a napkin in a bar. If that doesn't set up extremely high expectations, idk what would.
There are some _excellent_ (female and male) Hurdy Gurdists on YT. Properly played, this thing shreds and is essentially a medieval e-guitar.
I can especially recommend *Michalina Malisz* (plays in the band Eluveitie), she has quite the portfolio here on YT, from covers, to original songs to songs of the band she plays with.
Bringing some attention (even if it sounded rather shit in the show) to this awesome instrument is... well, so far the best thing the show has done. And I assume it will continue to be that way until the show gets canceled.
It's not a hurdy gurdy. It's a nyckelharpa. The Swedish national instrument.
Greetings from a nyckelharpa player. ;-)
only thing is - its not a hurdy-gurdy . Its nyckelharpa.
You know something is up when you see a white guy, a black woman, an Asian woman, a dwarf woman and an Indian male all on screen at the same time. I can almost see them ticking those boxes with a big smile on their faces.
It's like a DnD campaign 😂
@@JoiskiMe Much worse :D
All they are missing is someone in a wheelchair who is handycapable and is the best fighter in the group. I'm genuinely surprised these idiot writers didnt put something like that in this show considering they have an obese deaf person using modern day american sign language in a show supposedly taking place in a thousand year old fantasy setting.
"You know something is up when you see a white guy, a black woman, an Asian woman, a dwarf woman and an Indian male all on screen at the same time. I can almost see them ticking those boxes with a big smile on their faces."
Oh you mean all those lovely things far more important than the story... but you forgot the most vital and incomprehensibly must have important thing of all... the gay box, that one getting ticked is absolutely compulsory, otherwise the sky would fall in and the universe implode.
You seem rancid
The sheer amount of shit Television they've managed to pump out within the last year or so is seriously impressive. Infuriating....but impressive.
Maybe they are trying to do the public a favor.
After lockdowns, people can finally get off their asses and go outside, smell the flowers, walk though a forest. The show writers do this on purpose, so we stop looking at the TV and go outside, connect with nature, friends and family. Instead of watching crap on TV, share your stories at a camp fire, by the river, with a beer in your hand.
@@scratchy996 Sounds good man, but it's January and I'm in Detroit. Insides where it's at for the next 3 months lol.
@@Mr.PepeSilvia I got into winter hiking in the recent years and I like it.
Of course, you need to find a couple of buddies who are crazy enough to do it with you :)
@@scratchy996 lol right on
I heard that Lenny Henry, after playing the role of the leader of a tribe of bloodthirsty hobbits, and now the the power-hungry villain, will be in the coming woke remake of "Silence of the Lambs", in the role of Clarisse Starling.
And that she will be even more psychopathic than Hannibal Lecter.
Just joking, there's no woke remake of Silence of the Lambs.
I hope.
Lol I can't wait to revisit this comment in two years 🤣 after they make it
There is but Hannibal only eats Black Lesbians because diversity.
@@brian197686 Hannibal only eats white men because they are evil.
Buffalo Bill isn´t arrested because he is trans, so he is a victim by default.
Clarice is a black lesbian and she needs no help from Hannibal.
Hate to break it to you… but there was it’s was called “Clarice”
and the fact you haven’t heard of it, let’s you know how “amazing” it was.😂
I hear he's set to be the lead in frozen 3.
Critics gave it a 38% … I’m sure IGN gave it a 9/10 then
Lmao IGN gave it a 7/10. They are so dumb!
Great Alto in that voice there man. - 20 year musician here.
And 2.5 million subscribers, but who's counting.. 🤯💀
Literally a decade of being a fan of the Witcher, getting the absolute best casting for Geralt and Dandelion against all odds (even if I didn't realize it before it aired). Amazing.
Then Cavill rightfully leaves and then we arrive at this nonsense... my heart is crushed.
This makes it bearable, yet I still can't help but ache at what could have been.
I can't imagine Sapkowski's dismay or the collective dismay of Polish fans everywhere.
That Tavern scene is terrible and unrealistic on so many levels it's actually hard to disentangle.
First, I can't even describe what would happen to some diverse female musical performer who assaults a patron with deadly weapons in a full tavern in medieval Poland regardless of cause without getting banned on TH-cam.
And anyways, if that guy's a local he knows EVERYONE there. Everyone will care about him a lot more than about some singer. Her assaulting him would direct everyones anger at her and away from him.
If he's a stranger he has to assume everyone else knows each other. Either way he wouldn't start groping and hitting the barmaids in a full tavern where everyone can see.
This short interaction shows that the writers basically live on social media and know nothing else. They can't even fathom the kind of social cohesion and structure you'd find in a medieval town. Everyone KNOWS each other there, basically from birth. Strangers are distrusted heavily because if they're up to stuff it's easy for them to just dip. If a stranger is caught committing a crime or violating social norms you bet they aren't in for a good time. With that barmaid you can bet there's at least a father or husband who'd be out for blood, if only because ignoring it would ruin his reputation within that town he's lived in his entire life.
See how this whole inequality business and basically being property still served to keep women safe from stuff like this happening by making sure they always had a dedicated protector?
I bet those hipster writers have never been in a rural bar fight. Or a fight of any kind in their entire life.
Even if you hate the guts of someone from your village, if that person gets attacked by a stranger, you f*ck that stranger up. That's true in Poland, in the US, everywhere.
"Modern writers" think that every place is like Newy York, where people don't even know or care about their neighbors.
@@scratchy996 I've never been in a bar fight either. In fact the only fight I've been in was one schoolyard fight in 5th grade.
You don't have to have been in wars to understand how human communities and bonds of comraderie work.
But with these social media-based script writers they've been virtue signalling in their little echo chamber for so many years that they can't even fathom siding with a friend, comrade in arms or even just someone from the same village regardless of what they've done or what political views they hold.
All their "friends" are based on political alignment instead of being unconditional allies. That's why sooner or later, the Woke will always attack each other over minor differences in doctrine like what happened with JK Rowling.
it doesn't even have to be medival its like that till this day imagine u coming to some local pub and attacking some guy who is there basicly 15years hanging you would gett moped stomped by 15 people even today in medival they probly kill you instant
Uhm .. assaulting the kid of the tavern owner and beating up the owner herself wasn't actually tolerated in medieval Poland either.
@@Gaia_Seraphina Likely, though they'd still be a lot nicer about it to someone they know than to some outsider doing the same thing
I haven't watched the show, so my question is - what unstoppable empire are they fighting?
hm... maybe the one which only in recent years was glued together from 3 warring clans by assasination of their previous kings ? :D that one? :D
I am honestly amazed it has managed to climb up to 10% audience score! That is a 30% rise in just two days!
Rotten Tomatoes probably deleting reviews again...
The way, that Elves behaved in Blood Origins, it seems, that the oncoming Great Cleansing was a well deserved punishment for their behaviour. I doubt, that Sapkowski had that in mind. Also, the landscape looks like Northern See sourrounded Europe and looks nothing like the same arreas in the Witcher (which is located in middle-european continental landscape). Did the landscape also changed with the Conjunction of the Hemispheres?
The cleansing is mentioned exactly at 0 places in the books. The Hill elves live near humans, the Ash elves still live in their dimension but come now and then
Wow. I knew it had to be BAD, based on the ratings. But to open up with two strangers of different sexes and ethnicities, speaking to each other as equals, using modern slang to make genre-savvy statements, in a setting allegedly 1000 years in the past? Wow. You gotta put in the work to make a show suck this badly before the opening credits.
Two different sexes and ethnicities talking to each other with respect in the PAST?!!!! What will the trolls, dwarves and keybolds think of the realism?!!!!!
Affirmative action
how should they speak???? are you ignorant or just stupid???? the woman knows who the guy is.... and what would you prefer that one would say to the other 'down on your knees I have something to say you piece of shit' or what????
It's basically just generously paid cosplay fanfic gig with tv presence included for these people. Not even up to the standards of theatre club gig at school.
Pov: racism
Video is worth it for the intro alone. Everyone toss a like to Jonny.
That song cover was amazing and far more creative than Blood Origins!
It's a real shame that you haven't read the books, they're amazing, I absolutely recommend them.
Agree 100% .
Amazing books, great story , funny humor, tits and gore! 👍🙏
also makes it more fun .. to shit on the show.. hurts in the eyes too though..
Just recently someone tried to tell me that the books are anti women and misogynistic. Absolute bullsht. I love the books.
@@jennyjustjenny7634 what nonsense! These books are actually quite realistic in depiction of people in general, how's that mysogenstic? Best just to ignore them🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Just because you like the books doesn't say that women can percieve them as mysogynistic.
You DEFINITELY have a music career to fall back on if this TH-cam thing doesn't work out.
But both will work out when he let's them stick together. I'm sure!
I loved when you were talking about cringy scenes, then the girl starts singing and the old man says 'enough'. Cause I was looking for the mute button. Oh, and I would love for Netflix to send a man around to 'punch me'. Because then I could punch him back, while yelling 'take that Netflix'!!
07:19
I remember a "Chronicles of Narnia" BBC show. It was pretty good. It aired in re-runs in Canada back in the very early 90s.
I think my grandmother has them all on VHS, or at least the volume of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
I can understando the studio's hand forcing the hiring to be as 'diverse' as possible. But it makes the show super confusing, various cultures, places and you have no sense of location because all people have no marking accent or aestetic, same with the places.
That's one comment, about one problem. If I were to comment about every problem, you'd have the script for a 3h video.
(Lenny Henry shafted by his agent LOL)
The actor for Eradin did an interview where he says Eradin is motivated to conquer because of his love for the other elf guy. 🤦
It’s in a ‘Redanian Intelligence’ article
Well, love is usually a strong motivator in general.
But in this case it's rather weird.
They turned a cunning manipulator into a sensitive, love-stricken man.
That show was made by men kissers
I love it when Dune 2000 has better green screens
What do you get when you keep hiring writers who probably rarely travel outside the Los Angeles metro area? This show, and countless others before it.
The show Merlin...i watched it almost in one sitting! I was so crushed to learn there are no more episodes
I was rewatching it and my sister joined me, so she saw it all. I was just out walking and she called me, crying and she was so mad that I got her to watch the show when I knew it ended like that. She was so mad and sad
My only complaint with it was the fact that in the middle of the show the plot started to focus exclusively on Counterespionage in the Castle and then they never got away from it at all. First it was Morgana, then it was what's-his-name. Even in the last season, there was a spy in the castle.
Hilariously that spy was played by probably my least favorite character in Gotham, aside from their version of Commissioner Gordon himself and Penguin.
Let me tell you, at first, when I found out about the BO, I absolutely unironically thought that this was a low-budget bootleg series. I looked at a poster, I looked at the rating and thought ''there's no way this is serious''. I'm baffled that I was wrong.
Witcher isn't dead. CDProjekt Red makes good Witcher content. They have made manga Witcher Ronin and comics about Geralt of Rivia. And now they are in process of making Witcher 4
_No one can carry a decent tune in this series, even the protagonist, the female minstrel._ Everyone was tone-deaf, pun intended.
I'd say the only, the only reason I can think of being "aith" with this series is the fact we get more comic relief from Johnny Law!👍 and I'm glad Henry escaped on time, this show would've ruined his career.
I didn't know you could play the guitar, what else haven't you told me?
He had said that he's a musician
"Who am I? I forgot..."

I had to stop drinking my festive cranberry Canada Dry while watching. Twice you made me laugh so unexpectedly I almost spit it out. Good job of keeping your sanity watching this. Happy New Year!
The botoxed Diverse Strong Female Heroine Protagonist does play the Nyckelharpa. It is not a hurdy gurdy. Which makes that scene no less of an emetic.
Thank you. I was wondering what the instrument was.
Very Kurt Cobain
Posted trailer of THIS to a Facebook Witcher fan group with 17 thousands of people...and no one, NO ONE was interested, amazed or god forbit happy this was made.
Ive never read the books either. Have played Witcher 3. And i will never stop. The music has been stuck in my brain since i started playing in 2017.
There are also Witcher and Witcher 2 with just as gripping story
With Henry's departure my subscription to Netflix Also ended.
I'm someone who actually likes diversity in media, and when I say diversity, I don't mean "diversity".
Blood origin has "diversity".
I watched this entire shit show, and I can't tell you a single thing about ANY of the characters except for what diversity checkbox they're meant to fill, not even their names.
They aren't characters, they're bland, walking diversity checkboxes with lousy writing and lousy worldbuilding.
Actual diversity is more than just having people with lots of skin colors, different body type, different sexualities.. it's about having different types of characters.
Characters from different places who view the world differently, who have different experiences and can share their viewpoints with each other, who can challenge what they each believe and lead to growth.
Funny thing about the The Witcher Series season one: When I first read about the show and saw pics of Episode one I thought 'Hey cool, they stay true to the book (which I read). Renfri is this blonde a little androgynous woman and Geralt meets her henchmen/friends. These were the pictures I saw in the net. Then I saw the episode and I was like 'wait a minute. This is nothing like what I saw in the pictures. Okay it's not a total disaster, but where is Geralt's conflict with killing people he drank an evening before and befriended? Now they were nameless minor opponents in a game! And why is Renfri suddenly another actress?
Aside from my other grievances I still liked Cavill's interpretation of Geralt and the world felt...okay. I later read the article again (which I should have done back then not only skimming the pictures) and found out that the producers didn't like the story (too little s**, to complicated, they had another vision and the series should anyway concentrate more on the female characters than on its namegiving character...Funny, as I said in the beginning.
Still I watched and always told myself 'It could be worse. This could be like Relic (which novel I adored and which movie I almost puked in theater) or the Expanse (which also deviated far from the main premises of the books).
But hey, why satisfiy the fans. They are the enemy nowadays.
Though I wonder... If these so called filmakers don't want to stick to the sourcematerial and create something of their own, why don't they do it all the way? Create something really new based on their ideas? Oh, they can't! See Witcher: Blood Origin.
Jonny, you are absolutely right. Take care. And stay well.
What they should have done if they wanted to make a new story based on the IP is have a story similar to what it is but have the actual lore hidden throughout the entire background to reveal that the story to takes place in the future after another conjunction of sphere caused society to revert. All humanlike races united into one and they must restart the Witcher program to help put the kingdoms back together.
Thank God for House of the Dragon, episode 1 of The Last of Us and the first 3 seasons of Game of Thrones.
I would not have known about this series without your video xD
I just started it, it felt odd. Now I know why.
This is the kind of show that would be considered mediocre 10 years ago. But it is considered decent now a days because of how far our standards have fallen in the quality of series making.
As a fanatical Polish fan of Sapkowski, I'll say only one: Netflix don't masacre our major national cultural achievments of this century. Just leave it, sell rights to HBO, maybe they'll make it better.
Resident Evil, Star Trek, Star Wars, Halo, RoP, She Hulk, Willow, now The Witcher being in the dumbster
Johnny law and I were abducted by aliens and loved every minute of it.
I didn’t think it was the worst show on the world but yeah just watch the Jaskier scenes on TH-cam
Netflix should’ve just made an adaptation of the books that way people could watch the Netflix show and then maybe start playing the games.
She's a Nyckelharpa assassin.... not a hurdy gurdy assassin.
Weren't the spheres still separated 1000 years ago
They actually say "done to death" IN the show?! Nobody talked like this in Witcher age...
Dzień dobry lub dobry wieczór i smacznego.
Bonjour Mr. Law. You know what? I like your channel very very much. Your critics are always pertinent and, at the same time, your are aboslutely hilarious🤣. Please, continue your work👍. Have a Happy new Year!!! 🎉
7:50 That is not a herdygurdy it is a different instrument it is called Nyckelharpa and is a Swedish instrument also a medieval instrument, herdygurdy is called a wheel fiddle while a Nyckelharpa in English would probably be Key fiddle.
but hey good try
Never heard about this TV series ( and I don't want to watch it ) but thanks to you I want to play Witcher 3 again
I had no idea Aaron Paul was really British, and did TH-cam reviews. Keep up the good work!
I'm a fan of The Witcher, but not from Netflix. I don't like Netflix shows. I am most pleased with the Polish version of The Witcher 2002, the game and Alzur's Legacy. I'm glad that Poles from cd project red are creating a new Polish game. It would also be nice if Polish directors created new Polish versions of The Witcher
No one mentioning the extremley cheap elves? They are just normal people with pointy ears! As if they wanted to save on makeup.
That opening tune was a BANGER! GJ
The thing about the bar/concert scene at the start is it’s so fake on the part of the writers. They most likely wouldn’t be caught dead intervening to stop sexual harassment in public or private. The character is a projection of who the writers would like to be, but don’t have the guts to become in real life.
I loved the part when Anwen races thru the forest with Frodo on horseback.
Did anyone else find it very appropriate that Lenny Henry was also in this bastardization?
His acting was top tier terrible. Along with many others

Why is the Lark's head so disproportionately large in comparison to her tiny body? And why does she look like Future's long lost twin? Idk it just had me bursting out in random laughter. 😅🤣
But Star Wars fans are quite happy with Andor.
even the non Star Wars fans are happy with Andor 🥰
When you adapt a book to a movie, you stick with the source material as close as you possibly can. If you want to tell your own story, make a brand new movie and not say it's something else.
Always enjoy your videos! Which I could say the same about the Witcher series 🙄
If you want.a awesome woman playing the hurdy-gurdy look up "Eluveitie" the band.
I would love a full version of the intro song lol.
if, during the writing stage, you've identified that your show will probably not be well received, enough so to build rebuttals into the writing, wouldn't you instead have had plenty of time to.... write a better show?
BO is an appropriate title for this show and possibly the only thing the Writers got right.
Arguably, The Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One were pretty decent. The Mandalorian was also refreshing.
Well... Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was actually pretty descent. Good ST vibes.
Why so few subscribers, you're entertaining as hell.
And he can sing. 😂😂
No he can't ...
@@floydfanboy2948 🤣🤣🤣
He plays a mean guitar though
Why does everyone hate it?
Because it's called Witcher but has nothing to do with Witcher.
I want the full song of don't toss a coin to your writers!
MERLIN RULED
stories used to be about sacrificing for the common good......these new stories are all about the characters being selfish while still feeling entitled to all the benefits of their position.
I think it's stupid that Merwyn is killed at the end!
Sing it to me Jonny!
Indeed. Blood Origin achieved what even Willow did not. Even the most generous critic in my youtube list hates it.
Well done Netflix well done
Alzur's Legacy is way better and it is just a fan made movie about Lambert that is on TH-cam
That song slaps. Make a full song and video. Lol
#Subscribed 😂🤣😂
When everyone's special, no one is.
A show is riddled with bad writing, stiff acting, bizarre pacing, overdone tropes, strange artistic decisions like upside down battle scenes, cheesy effects, and oddly modern language in what is supposed to be ancient times.
White men: it is the diverse casting that is the problem!
