Junkyard Dog Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Anyone else excited for this? Coming off GOT I am expecting a lot of those fans to be tuning into this. Looks so good. Edited July 22, 2019 by Junkyard Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 It's funny to see them say it's based on a book, ala Game of Thrones, when the Witcher video games are most certainly the reason why we're getting the NetFlix adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well go from the source material rather then something that was loosely adapted from the source material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games made the Witcher series more mainstream. The powers that be involved in the Netflix series have stated they are not re-doing the stories from the games. https://www.thewrap.com/the-witcher-showrunner-says-netflix-series-will-never-adapt-the-video-games/ ‘The Witcher’ Showrunner Says Netflix Series Will Never Adapt the Video Games Comic-Con: Henry Cavill stars in fantasy series based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The issue here is the games are amazing. I look at this trailer and I am like that seems off. It just seems like cosplay to me. I'll watch it but it will have to be flawless for me to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t appear to be from my initial perspective and I am definitely gonna be hella critical to this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the games aren’t exactly strongly adapted from the books. They kind of do their own thing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a very high standard they have to deal with because of how good the games are. Edited July 22, 2019 by peaches5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IMO the books have more potential than the Witcher game as a show. They delve into a lot more stuff.

It's actually pretty rare when they turn out good (ie., Mortal Kombat [1995])...these films based off a 'video game'. Then there's the 'FMV' genre that for a short time seemed to be THE thing (decades ago). Most of them were garbage...except for ones like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
