The Witcher from Temu
You know I don't use to complain on Tumblr but I just couldn't hold it in anymore: I. Can't. Believe. I. Waited. For so long for the 4th season of The Witcher to only get… get… that. I was pretty indifferent when Henry Cavill said he'd leave, I (naively) thought it would be fine either way. Oh well. His Geralt was owning the shit out of every shady swamp or dirty watering hole, with a stick deep in his ass and a resting smug face. Then comes morosely trotting Liam Hemsworth wearing a mismatched oktoberfest party wig and a hangover look, mourning inside for his exhausted alka seltzers. And can't you production folks even dye a damn beard? Then there's the hogwash direction of every laughable scene, like you'd get a Big Ass Witch Bitch getting stabbed by some random wino, or running fugitives shouting - in enemy soldier filled woods mind you - jolly songs from the top of their lungs? And Ciri doing irrelevant stunts on fast forward only to take 'shrooms right after that? This is giving even The Acolyte a serious run for their crappiest direction trophy… yes I'm fully aware I'm attacking already a third fanbase but people, you deserve better! You had better, and deserve better! Not this Witcher from Temu, a way too expensive school semester project which I couldn't stand beyond the first half episode. Yes, I'm a masochist and will probably sit down some day to watch the rest but I'm telling you, there's not enough alcohol in the world to make me also enjoy it.
PS: Unless it gets much much better, which I so highly doubt - movie stuff can only get downhill, and if you don't believe me go ask about Game of Thrones last season.
PPS: I'm afraid to call mom, that fan who read twice all the books and was even more curious about the new season. I actually think she didn't watch it yet, or I would have had already a dozen missed calls and voicemails of the kind I never listen to.
