Just realized that I'm probably gonna need to cut Chatspeak Ninja (Ch4t5p34k N1nj4 though technically I know the term is leetspeak) from The Spoon because he just.... He feels like a relic from a different time. He just doesn't really seem to fit anymore. I think he's too goofy a concept for how the story works?

Secret Ninja Unit Leader is probably still fine though, he's just a crazy kid with no actual abilities beyond the power of imagination. At this point at least he still feels coherent with the rest of the world.

I must be tired, because the more I read that paragraph, the more I'm just sitting here, giggling to myself...

"No one could predict or guess then that this boy of thirteen years, which at that time was a person without any relevance in a country ruled by the Regency Council and by Dijkstra, would become king. A king who, after he paid all the insults that had been given to his mother and him, would go down in history with the name Radovid the Stern."

Source material Prince Radovid's main trait during the events that are being covered by the show: Being irrelevant.

Netflix's Prince Radovid main problem before meeting Jaskier: Feeling irrelevant.

There's something somewhat funny, to me, about the idea that a bunch of people have been getting upset over some writers going "Hey! Let's make a completely useless and irrelevant character useful and relevant to our adaptation", and now I can't stop giggling!

Yeah, I know, they're upset over Netflix ignoring the character that CD Projekt Red wrote, and trying to enforce the idea that the videogame's OC is "true to Sapkowski's vision", while Netflix's isn't.

But, from where I'm sitting, I'm just going:

- Book Radovid: is useless.

- Netflix Radovid: is useless.

- Book Radovid, by the end of the events covered by the books: is still 100% useless.

- Netflix Radovid, by the end of Season 3: replaces Queen Hedwig, can help expand Jaskier's role as the Sandpiper, can help develop Dijkstra and Philippa's character arcs, might be used to replace other minor characters from the books by assuming similar roles without needing to constantly introduce new people on the show, can be used to remove/modify some of the more problematic elements of the books that wouldn't fit well with the show's overall tone, themes, and characters as we've grown to get to know them (like Hedwig's inability to function in the wake of her husband's death, perhaps Jaskier's choice to "abandon Ciri" to pursue his own happiness...), is now providing Jaskier with a love interest that carries enough power, weight, and influence that their romance might play a role in shaping the Continent's fate and history, rather than being tokenistic / only existing to show that Jaskier is queer, etc.

Yes, Netflix is doing something awful... They are giving significance to an insignificant book character, and ignoring that one line of epilogue saying that, one day, he'll eventually surprise everyone by finally becoming a relevant adult king (who would've thought?!), to such extent that history will remember him as "The Stern".

Instead, he shall be remembered as "The Spoon".
