Lol

👏👏👏🤣

So true, so true!!!

THAT'S the comment i was searching without knowing. Thank you, sir.

My grandma told me she was Irish...Clea O’Patrick.😅

He's an inspiration to everybody to be honest. Even if you don't make a much money as him you can still relate to his thought process, because it's not about the money

I hope his Warhammer 40k project is a success and it will be a huge middle finger to the fools who think not following the source material is ok.

An aims to make a 40k TV show!!

His description of his position within the Witcher season 3 is a hugely respectful and poignant warning, he easily could have what on everyone and everything but no, he has too much class.

Wasn't he constantly reading and re-reading the books during filming breaks or something to try to better understand the character?

Ngl I feel like he'd been so unfortunate with the people he works with on the projects he'd been a part of: BvM, Witcher and the unfinished vision that was MoS. I actually quite enjoyed the modern serious interpretation of the Superman and I think he did a very good job at that as he usually does. Just such a shame that bad writing, trending riding and greedy execs ruined so many things

Well said. Except none of this was accidental, but Culture War. This is exactly what happened [ 5:45 ] despite those ppl trying to blame the fans. Hiring people who abhor the source material and the values and ideas ​​it embodies, mocking and bullying and humiliating Cavill and Sapkowski and the whole Witcher community, none of that was accidental, at all. It's just the same as what they did to TLoTR with that revolting Amazon show. [ 7:17 ]

Wouldn’t it have been the exact opposite? I remember Cavill stating in an interview that he was looking to _personally_ purchase the rights for a Witcher show, but Netflix swooped in before he could finalize his stuff

As soon as he sae the showrunner was a chick, he should have bailed. Women have such open disdain for anything that takes men’s attention away from them. They hate how little it takes to make us happy

​@@Thorn_416Stop generalizing like that. I'm a girl and I like Geralt much more than Yennefer, I'm unhappy with how they took his character's significance away. Disrespecting the source material that you're in charge of is a very bad move. The showrunner and the circle of creators that she hadn't driven away and that support this mess are annoying and should be ashamed of themselves, but it's not every woman that does that. I dislike it when people demand more women in media just because they're women and I'm tired of it, but then there's people like you. Extremes on both sides. You both should look into a more moderate look on life, not everything is black and white.

I keep imagining him as a space marine or a space wolf in a 40k adaptation. God damn that would rule

@@loganknoll You know I would absolutely love that too ... but I'm so very afraid of Warhammer 40k suffering the same bullshit the Witcher, LotR etc suffered. I'm leggit worried.

⁠@@zejulius58Cavill is the executive producer on the project and clearly he cares about the franchise

@@zejulius58Cavill is executive producer on the 40K show, and that IP is his favorite, as stated in multiple interviews he’s done. By hook or by crook, he’ll at least show the right aesthetics and stay faithful to the lore. I also have a feeling that he’ll go through a lot of writers until he finds some that actually respect the source material.

Not only do you have Cavill as executive producer but, per information released by Games Workshop, the writers that are being approached are familiar with the setting Plus Games Workshop themselves have retained input regarding creative guidelines for the shows and it is well known how fiercely they protect their IP

It’s sad bc you can tell she has dropped 15lbs since the first season trying to get the sharper features of Yennifer’s look. She was miscast- she doesn’t have chemistry with Henry, she doesn’t have the commanding presence that Yennifer has in the books, and she doesn’t match the look. It’s unfortunate bc she is a good actress, she is absolutely beautiful, and could have easily played one of the other mages. Now, she is tied to this shit show.

TBH though, she does have a nice rack, even as a hunchback. I only watched S1 and saw no reason to watch more.

yeah but the paycheck would soothe your wounds

@@poki580 There's a difference between paychecks soothing wounds or sell out your soul. I think Anya is seriously contemplating her life choices right now.

Imho, the actress who played Yennifer may as well be Megan Markle, exchangeable garbage. 💩💩

Culture War

Indeed. A total shock. Its not like there are dozens of others franchises that suffered same fate due to same approach. Ohh, wait...

And they'll do it again and again because they're too arrogant to learn their lesson the first time.

They destroyed Star Wars, they destroyed Star Trek. They destroyed The Witcher. They even destroyed the Lord of the Rings. This people only destroy never create anything of value.

@@DanielBlak Why should they? They are still getting paid.

Very easily because they wanted the message not to do it well.

Lol the show is adapting the book not the game. For them to adapt the game they would need to get confirmation from cdpr.

I am a fan of Witcher book series, in the original Polish edition, mostly for the slightly cynical and ironic sense of humor that the Author, mr Sapkowski, implemented while mocking the fairy tales he used as inspirations for his short stories about the Witcher. It was so wildly popular in the Nineties that a movie and TV series, a short one, were made! The joke? Producers tried to be faithful to the source material and actors took their jobs seriously. Witcher was played by Michael Żebrowski, who played his part well enough. It was a unintended disaster. I like mr Cavil's acting as a Witcher slightly better though. The rest of this Netflix show is an abomination that managed to "eclipse" the polish first tries on putting those books on the TV screen. The biggest joke? Comparably, the polish productions used shoe-string budget and the then trending actors involved played the part mostly out of fondness for the then wildly popular book series. Fanbase kinda hated Cirilla when she was introduced in the Five Book series, though. She "stole the show" and Witcher was shown ambiguously as bleeding out on Jennefer's knees while she tries to magic-surgery him to stay with her. Books never tell if he survived his stint as "shonen hero" ... wich is where Game Makers took up and made sure that in their Game World, the White Wolf survived the unfortunate close meeting with farming fork trough the guts. I hadn't played the games, first traumatic encounter with movie-ising of Witcher discouraged me from playing a video game within the Witcherverse. Video games are taking liberties, even necessary ones so gameplay can happen, and it irks me greatly with Witcher wich was one of my fond teenagerhood memories. By that I mean the short stories, two tomes of them, each easily a movie-format in my opinion but what do I know! So here are my opinions from being forced to watch first season, by my niece who's fan of mr Cavil. Who frankly speaking was the only reason I endured at all. Geralt - Mr Cavil's portrayal of him was much younger and less cynical/dissapointed with people being dicks around him. More of how you would imagine young and idealistic Geralt. Not enough scars both physical from Witcher jobs and mental from being ~60 year old man forced to acknowledge that his ideals don't match reality surrounding him. Though in the books Geralt was written as looking as "good looking 30+" because Witchers were "foul mutants" who cheated their age and had longevity of the "body deteriorates slower than normies". :) Yennefer - Book Yen and Netflix show Yen? The only similarties between the two are as follow: 1) One of those is a high-class and rich sorceress. The other is a magical equivalent of a fresh graduate out of university ... lost in her job-hunting failures. 2) Both have black hair. But one of them spends lots of care to look good, and knows it as a weapon against fools, while the other is magically good despite being "spontaneously" sloppy and disheveled while remaining painfully dull. I felt sorry for the actress, honestly. 3) Name. But one of them had "last name" being Yennefer of Wengerberg (if my memory isn't fucking with me, since Yen was tigh-lipped about her origins and we got only glimpses from Gealt's insights that he wasn't sharing to avoid opening old wounds). Other just have first name. Now the contrasts between the two characters: 1) One met the Witcher as an antagonist. It was a funny short story where they met for the first time and she learned too much about Geralt's character in both funny and epic way. Try reading the short story where Buttercup travelling with Geralt found a genuine Djinni "magic lamp". Comedy gold for me. I don't even remember, two weeks after suffering the season 1, how Netflix Yennifer met Geralt. Not so sorry for my lacking memory. 2) One of them is an "old witch" archetype character. Elegant, self confident and sharp minded with a touch of mystery air. But also ruthless and prone to pettiness towards strangers. We observe how her relationships with Geralt, cause she and he had ... rocky relations over the many short stories they featured together, change her personality somewhat to be less prickly. The other I remember writing as young witch who isn't self confident and seem to give impression of running as Cirilla's sidekick. I very well may be wrong but that's the impression of Netflix "interpretation" of the character. 3) One of them had clearly definied magical and physical prowess. Namely she hated sweating if it wasn't while having sex. And liked to enjoy luxurious lifestyle. It was one of the reasons (their relationships were rocky) she couldn't understand why Geralt wouldn't stand for long living with her in the lap of luxury as her kept hubby. She was a competent magician, but not a archmage powerhouse. Just rich enough from her own work to live luxuriously. A fact she was regretting in the final scene when her "first aid" tier magical healing skills were failing her to keep Geralt alive. Second is basically a variant of Terry Pratchett Sourcerer. Magic does whatever she wants , and I'll state generously that it's her mentality that stops her from just doing everything with a wave of her hand and snap of fingers. I won't compare Netflix Cirilla and book Ciri since i dislike the character anyway. :D Now I forgot why i was writing it, so have it, and have a nice day everyone.

@@ThePsangrejust play the games, they do take liberties, but they also evidently cared and respected the source material, which is already more than film industry is doing, they are also better written and acted.

Kinda like how Tim Allen wasn’t cast for light year.

Pretty much

No, the show is just shit, every aspect of it, losing Cavill was just the final nail, people have been complaining for a long time, long before Henry left

Did she? That’s a relief, I was worried the casting director got away with that backhanded insult without someone telling her off for it. I swear some of these creative types act like they were raised in a barn.

Where did she say that?

@@boxer1129 all the other brown monkeys?

​@@boxer1129Not Triss, they downgraded her.

Shoot, Henry's going to be just fine.

exactly.

The point isn't whether Henry will be fine or not. The point is he was working on a project he was invested in, had the potential to be really good, but it was runined by an arrogant bunch of assholes who only wanted to parasitically infest an IP they could use to push... the message. I, for one, can't wait for AI to replace a vast swathe of hollywood acters/writers (activists). They can learn to fucking code..

Cavill had a duty to do due diligence before signing up. In fact, _any_ actor with star power in today's Hollywood is required to do deep, intense, due diligence because so many fcuking wokesters are running around pretending to be creative people. Cavill should have ensured that the writers were as in love with, and passionate about the source material as himself, and he for sure should have had final say on the script. In lieu of either of these preconditions, he would have saved himself a boatload of angst and disappointment. Fuck around and find out. He fucked around, he found out.

He'll be fine. Most of his fans love him even more for walking away when they continued to double down on disregarding the lore.

This is what needs to happen in today's world. Rise up, sheeple!

Yeah, he made his career with that move. Now people respect him, because he respected the source material, and turned his back on ridiculous political fashion brainwashing.

Now let's have him as Bond! Maybe he can pull that out of the ubend and make them respect the source material a bit better!

@@paulwilson6357 Awesome! A manly, bitch-slappin' tough guy Bond! I'm stoked! 😎

Not that it came with any problem, aside sentimental one. He's in demand, popular, rich enough not to care.

A perfect example of, "Go woke, go broke".

Ha! We have just been watching S3 and yes I had no idea who or what was going on from the previous season. I remembered the stuff with Henry taking on the odd monster of the week but that was it. All the different places and politics just merge into one boring forgetable mess.

Same. I actually thought I was being daft. I had no idea what was happening. The funny thing about GOT is that the geography was so perfectly done that I thought it was based on real countries when I first started watching it 😂 my friend was like it's fantasy 😂

Be woke, be impressive. :)

The show is actually good. Especially season 3. The plottwist about Vilgefortz being evil and working with Nilfgaard is really good.

Women wanting to be woke. Privileged women hired via nepotism. Shocking they create crap..

@@ERMOONSaladino9lmao nice bait there buddy

Have you ever heard of a TV show called.....Halo?

Nobody listens especially to petitions, especially nowadays.

They don't care about the fans they care about their message. And if they came get their message across they will trash the IP. They have done this with star wars Marvel and harry potter.

​@michaelhouk7603 exactly this, and they see the material as beneath them. The sooner we realize that 98% of hollywood hates the source material they're given, hates the IPs they're forced to work with, etc. The sooner they stop trying to bastardize it because they'll either have nothing to make, no one to watch it, and no money backing them. At that point they will have to be fans, they will have to find funding, they will have to take it seriously, or they will surely be working as a receipt checker at walmart.

Its not really about the money either, its about the agenda. Clown world 🤡

Pretty optimistic of u to think these bozos wud think what fans want vs what they believe in🤌🏼

That's exactly how Netflix writes it's shows. A person who pitched a show on Netflix wrote about it. Basically, they would ask writers to each write "some sample episodes". That way, they can churn out many episodes without paying writers. So you end up with a TV show that has no real continuity because the writers Didn't know what the other writers were thinking. This happens in the Umbrella academy as well. The characters act, talk and think very differently. I found myself saying "that person would definitely call you out on that", and they proceed not to. It was crazy

the dothraki/unsullied were not “shoehorned” into thrones, per say. Solid casting & directorial decisions id say.

Why couldn't they hire a red headed woman for Triss? Gingers are a minority. They had a minority character, who challenged beauty standards, but they just had to make her more minority and more... challenging to look at. I agree that Anya was good as Yennifer. I'm not sure what beauty standards they thought they were challenging by casting her. Because she has Indian heritage? She's as pale as Indians get, so what exactly were they proving?

Never underestimate the sheer magnitude of Netflix's stupidity from here onwards.

And more than that it’s not as mainstream as say Lord of the Rings or even Game of Thrones so you had a fairly large devoted core that if you’d given half the effort as Cavil has it would have sang it praises from the rooftops growing it base instead they pissed off half that core and the half that remained spent their time defending their tolerance of it to the other half.

When you look what's happened to Star Wars in less than a decade, is it really that surprising these days. The management for this show is cut from the same cloth as Lucasfilm.

And one could maybe think authors would be more cautious with Netflix in the future.

Sheer. Fucking. Hubris.

I used to work in Film, including the second season of The Witcher. And you are very very right. Sadly, it’s always treated as just another job. There is no love in it. Get in. Get out. Next.

Yeah I and I was reading some other channel and someone said they think Liam Hemsworth will be better lol 😆 😂 🤣

These writers couldn't guide a story out of a wet paper bag. Pathetic people, probably a bit middling in IQ and filled with radical doctrines.

I wouldn't even say he works in Hollywood. He had a few big roles like Superman and Theseus in Immortals, but he was never embraced by Hollywood. Ever.

You know what they say, “Go Woke, Go Broke!”

I completely agree. If we do actually get a Mass Effect or Warhammer 40K adaptation with him in it, let's hope the showrunners learn from the Witcher's mistakes.

@@ramirobarrera2845 I understand the sentiment (believe me, as someone who has to edit the work of mediocre novelist writers for a living, I appreciate the frustration with their mediocre work). However, failing to support their cause (not the writers themselves perhaps, but their cause) will only ensure your TV programs in the future continue to be of the poorest writing quality. Without proper compensation, the best writers will never be drawn to screenplay writing and you will be stuck in a cycle of endless garbage writing to watch. Support their cause in the hope that it means with more benefits and better compensation, the actual few talented writers that are out there, are drawn to screenplay writing to replace the mediocre ones (who are only there because they can't find pay elesewhere). Or don't support them... and be stuck in perpetual piss writing for decades more in your streaming / tv shows.

I dare say that while your point of view is quite valid, the writers of this show were specifically hired in order to push an agenda/message (woke things and diversity and all that), so they could have been genuinely good writers but even if they had been (which they are not), they got the job in the first place in order to push that narrative not for their skills and they were chose specifically for their political views and willingness to make a mess of things. So while your perspective does apply to decent people who just want to create something (regardless of if they are good writers or not), this is not the main reason for why the writers of this show couldn't do a good job with it, but rather because they were hired specifically in order to push political agendas and smear crap all over the source material.

But Slavic people are white and therefore evil, you see? And their folklore is consequently also evil and needs to be corrected. Doesn't matter that their name is literally THE origin of word slave/slavery... oh the irony.

It's a well known fact that the Celtic people of ancient Ireland are descended from the Ming Dynasty of ancient China. Take Craggy Island's Chinatown as an example.

Slavic and Celtic are not the same. Celtic is a geographical classification, centered around the ancient British Isles, and sometimes Western Europe. Slavic being Eastern Europe. Not wagging a finger, just an important distinction!

It's hilarious, in GoT they made Salladhor Saan and Areo Hotah black despite the existence of at least a dozen black characters in the books, they cared so little about the source material (and probably knew even less than they cared about it as there's no way they read those books more than 1 or 2 times) and felt the need to 'diversify' it up but continued to ignore the existence of these characters, some of which play a fairly important role in the story like the Red Preist Moqqorro or Chataya the owner of the brothel Tyrion goes to in order to sneak out of it to see Shae (they just casually replaced her with "Roze the whore").

Same thing they did to Wheel of Time. Made the small white rural town super diverse, when they had several other cultures to add diversity. You had to change white characters black, when there were many others described as "coppery skinned" and "skin like charcoal".

Is that paraphrasing Christopher Hitchins?

Agreed 100#.He had the foresight and the stones to stay true to himself

Another monster head to hang from his saddle. Godspeed on the Path to him.

Henry has $50 million in the bank though... so...

Same. I think I read he loved the books and the games.

Funniest shit is how all the higher ups of the show and netlflix pushed the narrative that henry is a toxic gamer and sexist when he left the show but after when marketing season 3 it was literally "hey henry cavil is still the witcher in this one come see it"

"He probably came into this project with so much hope and joy but then had to watch it as it all crumbled into the mess we all know." Every single fan did.

Why don't make a money raise collection (i don't know how it's call) from all the fans, to make a serie with that conditions.

Truly amazing. You would think they'd want to make money. Guess not

And they are not, as they claim, "empowering women".

6:14 exactly this

Yea, I watched the first season and was done with it after. Interesting to follow the drama around it though. I wonder how much money they feel they can burn on stuff like this.

That was the exact time I turned off from the show, too. I've never read the books, but now I want to. But the moment Henry's leaving was announced, I knew I wouldn't continue with the show. And then the hit piece the showrunners released on Henry and the other stuff you mentioned. I knew I was not going to reward bad behavior by watching.

If that is not fascism (forcing a story circle into a propaganda square) I don’t know what is. Without Henry Cavill I won’t bother watching 😤

By far the funniest thing about the whole thing was that the writers tried to "leak" an email painting Henry as a misogynistic gamer chud who refused to do shirtless scenes and collaberated with one of the other gamer writers to rewrite scenes. But then everyone thought it was hilarious and absolutely justified and loved Cavill even more, so they backtracked and said the source wasn't reliable. Shows just how out of touch with reality these people are

The "fast travel" in Star Trek ever since the 2009 movie bugs the hell out of me. It's freaking SPACE. Getting anywhere should take time.

@@BiggieTrismegistus Agreed, but Star Trek abused that earlier in STV The Final Frontier, remember the quick trip to the center of the Galaxy?

MCU laughs “We don’t care about the lore and timeline”

Well, we saw them teleport entire armies, and once the an entire fleet moved around the continent in less than 1 day. It got so laughable that I started to check out already end of season6.

@@BiggieTrismegistus The original Star Trek invented the teleporter as a way to use fast travel. And the warp drive is literally fast travel.

The Witcher is a few steps away from having a gay orgy with rap and cocaine. Very medieval of them

Umm, ... divorce him. I am pretty sure what you described now falls under the category of domestic abuse.

​@@iz9744💀

What the hell did I just read...

Why are there so many black people in medieval Poland anyway?

I agree. Season one wasn’t perfect but good enough. Season two you could tell it wasn’t about the witcher anymore and the world building just wasn’t there. Season three seemed to have no real substance at all.

You would think Hollywood would use GoT as a cautionary tale...

Among other things… They decided to go woke. And pretty much all things that go woke… go broke.

@@ambrosia5356season 1 was still garbage. It was a feminist Harry Potter lol. I love this show. As a big witcher fan, it was fun to watch and trash the show.

They made Triss and fringilla black girls lol. The most beautiful women imaginable are just pudgy black women. Too funny.

I watched season 1 and that was it. Fu k diversity

We ded et!

There's a season 3 of the Witcher?? 😂

Nearly 100 million viewing hours by households without people, interesting.

@@russjen5012 Just like Captain Marvel.

Honestly, he probably should have left earlier. He saw the writing on the wall almost from the start. But at least now nobody can say he didn't try.

Honestly, I wouldn't even blame him if he had bailed after Season 1.

@@gjohannes1344 He managed to get more speaking lines like the actual book Geralt instead of just saying "fuck" repeatedly. Plus he was getting a LOT of money per episode.

@@kyuzotatsuya9641 Plus he really wanted it to be good and put a lot of work in it. He didn't want to give up on it but when a fight is lost it's lost. He knew it will only get worse.

At least he’s still famous, hot, classy, muscular and rich

I don’t feel bad for him. He seems to be good at dusting his hands off and doing his own thing. I don’t think the failure of the show taints his view of the source material. That being said, we will see how War Hammer turns out. That’s his baby.

Out of all the beautiful stories this weird woke movement has destroyed, I'm the saddest about The Witcher. I've read all the books, played all the games twice. This could have been my favorite film series of all time. But now 😢 I'm not even going to finish season 3. I'm out...

I have a free shoulder he can cry on. 🔥💜😍

He seems to have a great deal more sense than most actors. I hope he flies high and long. Maybe Hollywood will recover from this insane era of wokeness and give him some good parts to play before he dies of old age.

PATRIARCHY !!

Of course not. THEY are always the victims. One could say: They are professional victims.

google search witcher 3 and the first headline is "Witcher Producer Blames Young American Audience For Viewership Decline"

The fans, society and God even if they don't believe in him

That's what narcissists do.

And with the poor quality of these shows, that probably happens more often than you'd like.

"i hated a show I wanted to like" that is now the world we love in, where those who want to sell us stuff hate us

Feminist writing creativity ends at “strong woman”. They cant comprehend anything beyond that, simply because they base their entire worldview off of “power”.

Much respect to someone who dug the source material (terrific books), this was a perfect overview and sweet analysis. :) May the series that could've been live in our dreams.

Well said brother! But I'm just replying to tell you that I love your username and that it made me lol. o7

You're spot on.

@@antismoke9488 Long live Snake AND Snack Plissken. ;)

@@RemedyLibra I do hope he gets that chance one day.

Imagine Cavill playing Beren or Earendil or Fingolfin or Tuor…

Yeah Henry can be Aragorn or Faramir in LotR if it come out now definitely

Henry Cavill was in Lotr. He was an elven archer at the battle of Helms Deep

When Viggo took the job he'd not read the books so he went through them all on the journey to New Zealand. That's some intensive reading

They don’t give a shit about your entertainment. On the contrary, they hate you, and they want to make programs that insult you

Underrated comment

Why entertain when you can engineer society?

Compare this abominable woke mess with The Lord of the Rings...they are as diametrically opposed as possible.

I'm shaking in my boots over the future of the new Narnia series. 99% certain they will trash my most beloved books.

@@prince-solomon Yea but look what they did with The Rings of Power and that Hobbit trilogy

​@@mtcelticharperOut of all the people, Netflix thought it was wise to give it to Greta Gerwig to be adapted. At this point I am pretty sure they are intentionally trying to destroy classic works.

@@tommyhawk2065 right??

Actual embarrassing on their end, hopefully every studio sees hiring these guys as a guaranteed failure after this mess.

No, they'll keep getting show runner jobs

The ideologies that caused the fumbling of the show are an intrinsic part of the staff they hire. Hardwired into them. Things will only get worse, before they get better.

An iconic display of letting power and success going to your head. Writers and runners were not humbled by their success, and felt that they had the Midas touch. Turns out it was delusions of grandeur.

They are currently on strike demanding more money for the sh*ts they did before striking. The Witcher is just one of them.

He has much better takes and gets to the point faster than most reviewers. I can't even go to redlettermedia anymore which used to be my go to, they have become detached from your average viewer and they like to push "mainstream media narratives" when it comes to critiques of movies or new releases that they don't bother watching (sound of freedom).

Agreed

What? His takes are biased, as they should be, and he's quite political in his videos. "THE MESSAGE"

He’s both biased and political, but he was very interesting/great takes. It’s interesting to hear what he thinks

Drinker is the critic you want to listen to. He's actually into what he does, and it shows.

they already had a huge fan base, a great story and a great and famous actor willing to give his all to the character and they still managed to f**k it all up.

Not overused when it’s about Henry lol

He was paid millions to act and somehow, he's a victim.

@@russjen5012 Oh boy, here's the big apologist for "The Message" these shitbag showrunners kept trying to push.

Henry was accused of misogyny by leftie women. It's not ok to be a man in Hollywood anymore

What was the difference between the source material and the series ?

The same American audience that made the games sell millions of copies and kept Witcher 3 popular even today. Ok.

Probably some marketing department guy said to make it simple and they did without any proof.

​@iSOBigD World over dude not only USA.

first season was decent. a solid 7 :).

Because calling your main audience dumb is always a good way to go...

I was shocked when removing the Witcher, from the Witcher, failed.

I finished season 1 episode 1 and couldnt force myself to watch episode 2. Cavil was the only redeeming feature but everything else was so bad i had no interest in continuing

pretty much. season 1 was ok, i would have watched the rest if they stuck to the standard.

I have to disagree on that. This show had another redeeming feature. His name is Joey Batey.

Like Marco Polo, it was boring but one actor managed to make it bearable

Go Woke go broke.

That's what I call stupidity at its finest.

but they are still very successful with it, that is the sad reality...we have the same in gaming, look at the new fifa...they will be successful with that nonsense because streamer will hype it and be like, "this is fine" and kids follow

Hollywood as a whole has done this to basically everything. Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, James Bond, all. Big brand IPs with built in fan bases destroyed for the cause of "The Message".

​@@sanji1259agreed 100%! Gaming is actually worse tbh because its literally the same online trash every year, same game, different title. And people buy it every year by the millions. Thank our lucky stars for companies like FromSoft that still do things 'their way' and original, and release finished games that require skill to finish. Instead of the EA/Blizzard/Bungie cash trash grabs we see be regurgitated year on year
