    This made me love Dandelion's voice actor so much. You can tell that he's so incredibly passionate about the series and he's even played Witcher 1 and 2. Most importantly he loves Gwent ofc. I really hope he gets brought back for the Witcher 1 remake as Dandelion.

    Or you know, just give him more lines in the upcoming Witcher 1 remake. That should do it.

      i dont get why everyone's is obsessed with Henry's Geralt, like its fine, way better than i thought it would be. But the show just generally isnt good, and its not necessarily cause they deviate, its written poorly. And to be honest, he's also not amazing in it. Mad respect for him as a person, but not as an actor

  • @chaoticstudent1815
    @chaoticstudent1815 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    No way.... NO FREAKING WAY!.... So Steven Hartley actually voiced a lot of male peasants in Witcher 3 and that Mage in the tower in Skellige?!?! Bloody hell... I never thought of that, since Eredin sound so different even without his voice being pitched.. but I could hear his voice in this interview loud and clear... and there I was thinking Katie McGuinness and Pandora Colin took on lots of those roles (they are much more known to lend their voices to Keira Metz and Philippa Eilhart).
    I hope they will return to the next witcher games, so don't think of getting anyone else on board for the main cast. I'd love to hear them in the remake, obviously also Jaimi Barbakoff as Triss 😆

      The question is why. The majority of the characterst have a British acccent (or something undefinable) anyway. Besides her it seems that only the Witchers have American accents (unless I'm forgetting anyone), which is kind of clever, so Triss is kind of the odd man, or woman, out.

    So interesting that the voice actor for Triss is British. The Triss character in the games has a North American accent. She is the only Sorceress without a British accent. I wonder why she made that choice???
    I look forward to Witcher 4 with cautious optimism. CDPR already announced that Geralt will be a part of the next trilogy. I guess that announcement happened after this interview was taped? I can't imagine they would hire a different actor for the English language version of the game.

    Interesting discussion. A lot of diplomatic skill and tact on display there. For me, you can tinker with timelines, even story and plot content, as much as you like in a screen adaptation. Indeed, it can be refreshing and offer the committed fans something new to look forward to.
    Where the TV show went so badly wrong wasn’t just with its clumsy insertion of, “agenda,” characters and plot lines, however. It was the disrespectful manner in which they meddled with the actual characters, having them say things that were totally against their character; do things they would never dream of doing in the books or the games; and just coming off as either bland, “agenda vessels,” with no actual, “character,” of their own, (or none that cannot be flip flopped on in the very next scene) or flat out insults to the fan base.
    It’s the equivalent of having James Bond as a Tea Total women’s rights activist, or turning Thomas The Tank Engine into Thomas The Sherman Tank! It might be fun for the writers, but it’s NOT that character anymore. And the whole experience must have been heartbreaking for Henry Cavill, or anyone else there who had actually read and loved the source material.
    Again, imagine working on the set of a Bond movie and hearing the writers giving a press interview where they say, “Oh, we never read any Ian Fleming in our lives. This Bond will be different, for modern audiences.” And then reading interviews in which they openly MOCK fans of Fleming? You can’t just quit without jeopardising your livelihood, unless you’re the star.
    But do the people at Netflix actually WONDER why the whole project fell off a cliff, after such a promising start? If so, they are unfit for their jobs.

      I thought they went with an entirely Engish, Scottish and Irish cast to make them sound European with Geralt the only exception, like the dwarfs are Scottish, the elves are Irish and the rest is English. then Geralt got an american accent to stand out of the crowd like a witcher would do amongst ordinary humans.
      English isn't my first language so I can't really tell where to put Triss' accent, but I always assumed it to be of the British Isles.

      They are standard London accents.
      The only Irish accented characters are the Skilligans.
      Cerys voice is northern Irish.
      As for the Witcher accents they chose American to differentiate them from normal people.

      @@dcmastermindfirst9418 Well, English is not my first language and I don't live in the British Isles, so forgive me if I can't tell a Mancunian accent from a Liverpudlian accent.
      However, what you need to get right is that I wrote I thought, not that I was correct.
      I based what I wrote on a statement I heard quite some time ago where I can't find the source right now. The statement, as I remember, was that they cast the voice actors to be from the British Isles and that each of the groups of the population got the same accent, for instance, the dwarfs would be spoken by Scottish voice actors, with Geralt the only exception being an american to make him stand out.
      No offense to the Irish but whether the elves are spoken by Irish or London voice actors doesn't really matter to the point that yourmomknows was surprised that Jaimi Barbakoff was British.
      This is how I still remember it but if it is so important to you I may try to find that interview again and make sure I won't repeat that mistake again.

    Somewhere in the neighborhoods where these do life is a rude crowd of guests from another country.
    They cost this group too much before we can ever get near and support their work, do they cost us far too much.
    I don't like to have to put it this way but if there is a guest who just likes to drop people on purpose as a saboteur's power play or whatever, or if second hand news was bad to begin with, it sours the entire group up then back into the core of it and infuses itself into the neighborhood.
    If that's this case, we need controllers in the state of California to charge guests on tour from other nations some fair rent for standing on our ground and occupying civic justice...or, the softer talks people have to help avoid things from escalating into courthouses and falling victim to baiting & switching.
    California's a Republic state and it's expected here that you don't come from the other side of time or the world to flex your power to destroy us as strangers from your job in film or screening rooms, for example.
    That's no different than bad behavior from house guests. It's shunned. Otherwise these gaps in contact destroy us before anybody could reach out to one another.
