Fantasy Netflix's The Witcher - General Discussion Thread

[P Supreme]

I go clean shaven when I'm doing regular quest but for my battles I go in looking like a grizzly played 3 and loved it just downloaded 2 and u can tell it strictly made for PC cause the xbox version the controls seem so wooden for an analog controller but love that Letho is the main bad in the 2nd
plz don't spoil it for me anyone that has finished it lol

 

[KillerMcQueen]

pretty sure the only time i even used that feature was when him and yen went to that ball that was basically at the iron islands lol

also, hopefully the wild hunt isnt a part of the (at least) first season... I think we've got enough White Walker action coming next year

I'd be surprised if the Wild Hunt appeared in this first season, I think they'll probably be mentioned though, they've got a lot of material they could use before they even have to introduce Ciri, much less the Hunt.

 

[Punisher_MAX]

The Hunt appears sparingly in the first book or so and really isnt a thing until the last books. They are mentioned quite a few times though.

Honestly I hope the first season is a mixture of the best stories from the first two short story books as they, in my opinion, were much more fun to read than the actual books.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

Yeah, I'm not through all the books yet, but so far the short stories have stuck with me a lot more than most of the books have.

The start date for Netflix’s ‘THE WITCHER’ has potentially moved up from November 5th to October 18th. The show is eyeing to finish production on May 31st.

I am not to familiar with the source material, what exactly is the "wild hunt" ?

I'd recommend to read the books or play the games, but if you insist:

Spoiler

Common folk describe them as a bunch of spectres on horses that ride in the sky. In truth they're elder elves from another dimension.

Thanks so basically old elves on horses?

Basically very dangerous subjects, who invade the realms in search for slaves. Subject for folk tales and mage studies.

Thank you very much.

Very intriguing indeed.

The time it took you to make that and link to it you could have just told visionvision that the wild hunt is a group of radical militant elves.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I'm glad Cavill got the job since I know he wanted it so bad.

@BestGirl I believe you all are now able to delete your own posts now for when that happens. Feel free to give it a try!

I can't believe filming begins in just over a month.

Surly we will get set pics, right?

I hope so, have they said where they're filming the show yet?

Agreed, and not that long to wait!

I didn't know it was just over a month till reading your post. I'm really getting excited and planning to read all the books before the show starts. I've bought them all but have some other series to get through first. Also plan to play the games again.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Alright, so knowing nothing about this series/game. I only looked up the most recent game? Witcher 3.

I want Samara Weaving as Ciri.

 

[Reek]

we wont see a grown up ciri for some time, i would imagine.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

This is amazing!
