So that happened. God. Okay so my thoughts are going to be jumbled and probably will miss some stuff but here it goes...
Lauren, what the fuck? What was that?? This show started out so promising and then s2 came along and ruined so much.
Let me just say that I did enjoy some of s2. Papa Geralt and Ciri scenes made me very happy. They were so good. And honestly better than I expected. Kaer Morhen not so much. I actually thought they show the Witchers just bonding or anything to show how close they all are. Instead we got naked women and gross men.. not a likable Witcher in sight. They wrote them all so badly and ooc. ESKEL??? WHY? that was so bullshit. I'm sorry I can't even call that person Eskel because it wasn't.
Mama Tissaia. I adored Yennefer with her mom moments. Tissaia is a mama bear. Loved the interaction between Geralt and Tissaia. Was it worth it line gives me chills.
Vesemir. I wanted to like him. He really pissed me off. Most of the time and the whole going behind Geralt's back to turn an emotionally wrought Ciri made him even worse. I know grayness. But that was low. And he wants to make more witchers?? UM how about no.... bad idea.... like we know Geralt still struggles with what he became. Ugh. I didn't like anything about Kaer Morhen. The way they portrayed the witchers to be bullies and just not very honorable.....yikes
Okay Triss. Her whole arc was a mess. I love her but she was weird. Then making Ciri feel even worse about herself in the end... which is the opposite of book Triss.
I really did enjoy Jaskier and Yennefer. They really brought the Yennskier vibes. Honestly one of the better ships and they're not even canon. Yenn saving him was so badass. All their scenes were perfect. Jaskier checking on Yen in the end(the only one too actually, honestly Geralt, fuck you) I love them. Glad at least one of my ships was well done.
Yennefer my beloved. You were treated so badly.... I want to fight everyone. Whoever thought that Yen could betray Ciri for even a moment deserves to be taken out and beaten. Idc. It was horrible. Book Yen would NEVER. SHE LOVED Ciri and immediately adopts her. So what the fuck, again Lauren. I'm so mad. Yennefer and Ciri's bond deserved to be untainted. She never betrays her even when Geralt thinks she does and then he finds out she didn't. So it was so ooc. Not my Book Yen. Yennefer then has to grovel after Geralt and while I don't blame tv geralt for being mad, come one(even Jaskier sticks up for her) Yennefer has no magic because plot. She is the hero of Sodden but no one knows... She has to prove herself constantly yet it's never enough.
Also how does it make sense that Yennefer tries to save an innocent baby, saves Cahir, saves Jaskier, but then she's willing to sacrifice Ciri even though she knows Ciri is Geralt's daughter. How? What. No. That makes no sense. She wouldn't she values life. Period. It doesn't work. And they ruined Yenralt. They literally have a complicated love as it is then they have Yennefer taking Ciri to Cintra.... when we should've got them actually bonding.... I was shocked at Geralt holding a sword to Yen's neck.... No, book Geralt wouldn't ever. The writing is so bad. I don't see how they can fix this.
Then Yennefer saves Ciri and nothing. Geralt never thanks her or sees if Yen is okay? Also how tf are the Witchers so weak? You're telling me they couldn't take those basilisk monsters out? Yeah right.
Ciri should've been wrecked at killing all her Witcher friends. The girl who is caring guilt from always getting people killed or hurt unintentionally because of who she is. She should've broken down. Even though she was possessed, Ciri would be wracked with more guilt. Bad writing.
I'm going to do a part two because this is way too long.
