Girl with the sword was Renfri and she very much won't be back.

Jaskier is the polish word for Buttercup when it was translated into english they changed it to Dandelion because they thought having a male character named Buttercup was ridiculous

I agree that the time jumps were confusing and should have been better presented, but I do think they were necessary. If this story was told linearly, you would have had the first 2 or 3 episodes all about Yennifer at school, then you'd finally meet the main character a quarter into the season. You wouldn't see Ciri until the last 2 episodes and they'd be almost exclusively about her. I feel they had to use the time jumps to evenly space screen time between the three major characters. Full disclosure: I didn't really understand the time changes until the fourth episode.

Renfri is the one Geralt fights in the first episode. Not Triss. Sorry Joe she doesn't come back in the books

When they confused Renfri with Triss I was like ohhh boy here come the comments lol.

Missed chance in the whisper section to whisper, "Alan!"

the amount of shade Dan throws at the EW guy 🤣🤣🤣

Jaskier is the original Polish name in the books and the one in most translations except English. :)

“Is it laughing at me” well I gotta say I’ve never asked a show that before

Henry is doing his best Doug Cockle Geralt impression, and I love it. The songs Spencer was talking about are the battle music,aka the "lelelelele's" and "bananana tigers" The GOT fight cordinator/Night King did the first fight. The swordfight woman was Renfri, and she ain't coming back, and their version of Triss... exists.

Witcher, the show, is definitely ”in on the joke” and knows when it’s campy. The serious-to-campy mood shifts actually reflect Geralt's personality pretty well. He’s a serious yet sarcastic arse in a world of violent morons and monsters. And so too is the show. I love it. [edited for typos and elaboration]

I watched The Witcher twice now too Joe. The montage of Geralt's grunts & fugh's was hilarious.

The time thing is actually really clever... every episode has hints of how each timeline is different, but the hints are kinda subtle.

I really liked how subtle the timeline changes were! It felt like a twist we were supposed to discover naturally, not be slapped in the face with.

They are currently filming season 2 of the Witcher, but I heard rumours that the episodes will come only next year. Henry Cavill knows what he is doing in this roll because he is a big fan of the games and read the books before he was cast.

Little surprised there was no mention in the honest trailer or in this video about Cavil begging to play the role because he loved the games and the books.

When Joe and Dan are on opposite sides on something is pretty great. They don't yell at each other or interrupt while they are talking. You both are awesome

I almost liked the weird timeline stuff, just because by the end, after knowing everything, it warrants a second watch. Westworld had me all the way f*cked up trying to figure out what's happening and when, but by the end having the knowledge of where everything was going, I couldn't help but immediately rewatch it.

Cavill confirmed he took inspiration for the voice from the game VA, Dough Cockle and "Jaskier" is "buttercup" in Polish. edit. :)

It’s a dark show that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s meant to be campy and sexy and serious and silly all at once.

13:20 Geralt's armor changes between time skips. They also almost constantly mention and setup name's of people that will crossover between timelines in the episodes. In one scene a dude is an old king, and in the other he's mentioned to be just a boy. Gotta be looking for that red 3PO arm to find it, the series doesn't poke you in the eyes with it like Force Awakens did.

That boys, is what you call the Cavill Gravel.... You’re welcome.

They had to tell the tale the way they did to be able to include Ciri in the pilot episode, otherwise, Chronologically, she'd only be in the last 2-3 episodes and tbf her stuff doesn't last very long, they do the sacking of Cintra twice.

it is nice to see the witcher doing so well also love the Sean Connery voices you guys have good impressions

I love when joe and dan are twinning and spencer yodels

I didnt mind the timeline jumps i got it pretty much and had to explain it to my mom haha

Jaskier is his original polish name from the books, and games :)

26:10 Really...? How can you mix up Triss and Renfri?

Omg yes, the promos for Mad Men were interminable! They were an art form in passive aggressive reluctance! Lol

Ok, does anybody get Spencer's tease for next week's honest trailer? I'm shtumped

Geralt's voice is deep and gravely due to vocal chord damage received from becoming a mutant, very intentional

With the timelines, they basically explicity explain where each time jump is in the overall timeline through bits of dialogue. Like Renfri referencing Calanthe winning her first big battle, implying that Renfri's timeline was way before the previous scene with Calanthe and Ciri. Or old version Foltest, and then seeing young Foltest and young, and alive, adda being at the sorceress ball. Paying attention to every bit of dialogue in this show is pretty important.

Jaskier is the original name of the bard...Dandelion isn't. Just FYI :)

The girl killed in episode one isn't Triss its Renfri, I don't think shes gonna be back.

Billy Zane in Titanic Is AMAZING, *because* he is ridiculously brilliant. Just like this show. Why you trying to choose between campy and good? YOU'RE the ones who referenced *Buffy*

Dans confusion over this show is so fun to watch

Sooo, the showrunner, Lauren Hissrich, recommended the trailer on Twitter. Honest Trailers Commentary with her, at least for next season? Pretty please?

Ok, the Sean Connery bit, so glad I finished my lunch before that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I got pulled over listening to this. Thanks, Screen Junkies!

It's probably depressing how many honest trailer commentaries I've rewatched over the last 3 months

Those outtakes were really good too!

I enjoyed the trailer, but it is very obvious they are not familiar with the source material, meaning the books. Mistaking Triss for Renfri is a pretty big no no and that wasn't the only thing.

I really liked what they did with the timelines, a bit like in the dirk gentley series, where you get a nice reveal at the end.

Hearing the Sean Connery impressions had me in tears. I was waiting for a SNL/Witcher cross-over joke.

Not knowing the timeline exactly led to a delightful viewing experience of the story unfolding and intertwining. I actually really enjoyed how the timeline was used. But I watched the Witcher not knowing anything, and not expecting anything but just a fantasy escape - didn't think anything critical about it while watching, just jumped on the fun train and went for the ride.

Wild to revisit this. Joe Starr! A studio! Dan Murrell!

I’m honestly a little sad ‘Buff He the Vampire Slayer’ didn’t make the cut, because in my opinion any time you can include a Buffy reference you should jump on that opportunity. Also that line is just hilarious!

I'm with Joe. I just loved this show. I've watched it through 3 times. I think there's something for everyone who's down for the fantasy stuff.

your guys' sean connery impression was spot on lol

I died when dude in the middle started singing like the games!!!

We need an update on Spencer's attempt to join that vampire cult, that mark could indicate his initiation!

The sword fight lady is a character called Renfri not Triss. Triss is the dark skinned sorcerers one with the Afro hair. That part was hard to watch guys😂

Toss a view to your witcher, oh valley of streaming

This had me laughing so much!

I binge watched the witcher,one of the best decisions of my life...tho the timelines were pretty confusing at first

"New Years Eve glasses with the year they're in" I can't unsee that in my mind 😂😂😂

I had never read the books or played the game and watched it all the way through in a week. I also knew beforehand about the time jumps so I think that helped me out. I also just was in it to give it a chance, some things weren't explained right away but I got a reason or explanation eventually. Also I just really love the score! And with Henry Cavill being so delighted and into the role, it makes it ten times more enjoyable for me at least.

I just had to say that I loved the Witcher. I thought the show was amazing!

It's crazy how often Dan and Joe end up matching with that black n white plaid shirt.

I'm convinced that Dan and Joe message each other when they are going to wear black flannel. I also own the shirt Dan is wearing, because I worked at Blockbuster once upon a time :)

6:40 And now I'm thinking about how if there was an actual vampire on set we would never know because the camera wouldn't pick it up.

I need to start watching these on a bigger screen because I usually miss the raptor on my phone

I was about to comment at 11:44 about Jaskier, but then I saw all jaskier comments. Anyway... Jaskier is bard's original name from books and games! Done :)

say "hmm.."

I thought for sure you'd play the montage theme when you started his "Hmm" clips.

When I watched it the 1st time I slightly noticed the time jumps btwn Geralt n Ciri timeline but of course by ep4 it was very obvious. Only thing I'm still a bit confused on is when his fight with Renfri took place. I gotta give it another watch

It's such excellent fun to watch show , romance, fighting, human emotions , funny and all the things I enjoyed in this show that my sister made me binge watching GOT lacked and that's loving show characters for their strength

I was too close to my HomePod when Hey Ciri was said...monsters

Everytime combat kicks in, you say? LELELELELELELELE

The Witcher sort of reminds me of American Horror Story, which I watched 3 seasons, maybe 4, and still couldn't decide what I thought of the show, or even if it was good or not.

In terms of the time jumps, I felt that they were trying to deliberately hide the time jumps initially to have some sort of cool reveal later. And they just failed miserably at that.

Most of the time i like dan's opinions but how can your biggest complain be "the timeskips are confusing" when you only watched half of the series. Isn't it logical that you would only understand the timeskips when you know the whole story of the season? The series was far from perfect but it has a lot of potential.

@10:50 - fantastic yodelling!

🥰😍🤗🥰 thx for using my question!!

The voice fits the books description of Geralt’s voice, which would be why it was also used in the games.

Wait, since you're making very recent shows... This means we can get an Honest Trailer for "The Boys"? :D

"Lady wizards" 😂😂😂

The games changed Jaskier, which means Buttercup, to Dandilion. Jaskier is the original name.

Jaskier is the original and the correct word for the character. CDPR changed it to Dandelion to better fit the English speakers

I don't get why people complain about the timelines. It's a reveal and before the timelines become important at all they do show you that they exist.

It took me the whole show to decide if I liked it, so I’m with you Dan. My verdict was I had more fun than I didn’t and I look forward to the next season. I hope the creators learn and it gets a little tighter and there’s more of all the good stuff.

My favorite is when Gob tries to throw the letter into the ocean on Arrested Development

I feel like the show was made for the fans of the previous pieces of material, first timers are gonna be so confused 😂

I love trying to guess when Spenny is going to say Pause. He’s the pause master.

The Witcher episode is one of your top 5 funniest imo. 😂

Aaaaaah the outtakes were better this time than the main credits.

In polish it's jaskier (which means buttercup) when they brought it to the states they changed it to Dandelion.

For me the existence of multiples points in time was clear by ep.3. And they didn't really go back and forth in timelines, they were linear for each character. So when you were with Geralt, Yennefer, or Ciri it was a different timeline, until Geralt caught up to Yennifer (then they were in the same point in time), and then Geralt and Yennifer caught up with Ciri at the end and they were all in the "present." Though how MUCH time was passing for characters between episodes wasn't always clear just that some had passed, but you could estimate.

Please do everything in the Sean Connery voice always

I'm with Dan. Put an Arrested Development reference IN EVERY HONEST TRAILER! Yes, I will watch Geralt grunt his way through everything...I love the grittiness. The time jumps were confusing at first, but I'm interested to see where this goes. I like it! Also, glad they're bringing back the fight choreographer from the first episode for season 2. it was the best!

Can you start doing commentaries on these commentaries of another commentary?

Hey u guys should make a honest trailer on Mr Robot. It just ended. It deserves attention

I came here solely for that John Mayer snipe and I'm grateful for the clarification, coz present-day John Mayer's a lovely guy.

The time jumps were so bad I thought it was a secret twist I figured out halfway through

I hadn’t read the books or played the games..and didn’t find it even remotely confusing, I was a little bored until about 3 episodes in then once I realised the time line was switching it got a whole lot better.

The show is fun. It's in my default background noise shows with tng, expanse, and Firefly.

The 2 seasons and done approach is also due to their tracking data showing that new seasons of existing shows generates fewer new subs than new shows. So they not only cost more after season 2, they create less revenue.

Yodeling? lol I wouldn't call it yodeling haha

15:42 lol seriously, thought the same thing when i saw the dragon

@26:20 is it "Gold sword fight" or "cold sore fight"? Having only seen this HT it could easily be the latter...
