Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I was not unimpressed with the Witcher show, but I never read the books or played the games. I was a bit like "why is the witcher not in this show" but overall it was a good show by todays horribly low standards.

I recently started listening to the audiobooks. I finished The Last Wish based on recommended reading order and I'm now on Sword of Destiny.

For all the complaints I see online about how the show doesn't follow the books... Literally everything I've read so far was portrayed entirely in the show. I'm not defending the show, just stating I was surprised.

The big hurdle for me and the audio books is the Bard's name is changed. His name is Dandelion in the books and in The Last Wish the narrator pronounces it Dan-dill-ee-on and in Sword of Destiny he says it "Dan-dee-lion" and it's just awful lol.

Or
hear me out
the backlash is because they got rid of Henry Cavill because he cared about the IP

The books and games are a great story. TV show went off the rails after season 1. Bad writing.

in general I don't like the idea of "fixing" a story with the parts you didn't like and repackaging it. but obviously that's a lot easier than coming up with something original on your own. most fiction already follows well established tropes anyway.

it's a lot like private servers who want to tweak the game to fit what they think they enjoyed 20 years ago. make your own *** game.

Zombies, like anything in fiction or RL, evolve.

They didn't used to eat brains....

Zombies used to have poor mobility.

Now they surpass human limits because they dont feel pain.

It never make sense zombies hunger for living meat, as technically it shouldnt be that much different than their own meat, but zombies have very accurate distinction between the living and the dead.

Favoring human brains on top of that makes even less sense.

Just because youre dead you feel entitled to HQ meat?

The video is meta commentary on the genre, and the way humans live, not the creatures per say

The real problem in the zombie apocalypse is NOT the zombies. It's the piece of ***humans who will no longer have the constraints of law. And how most "zombie" media has changed to that, and how the "bad guys" in every zombie media are trying to bring back laws.

Instead of hordes of shambling undead eating people.

Biggest problem with the Witcher was always the costumes. They all look like they are cosplaying. Following the books doesn't matter that much considering most books aren't written for television. The Witcher series is a prime example of that, there isn't enough content so the show writers have to fill in a lot of the gaps.

this has trigger my The Promised Neverland Season 2 trauma.

The person adapting that had the complete work to go off of, but instead shouts "hold my beer I can do this better" and as a result delivers a steaming pile of excrement not even a dung beetle would touch. So many plot holes and lazy plot advances where the solution is just handed to the characters on a silver platter.

wonder why a power fantasy of being able to loot and kill anything/anyone would be popular today
