đ„ HOW NETFLIX TURNED âTHE WITCHERâ FROM A MASTERPIECE INTO A MESS â AND WHY HENRY CAVILL WALKED AWAY!
When Netflix first announced The Witcher, fans were ecstatic. With rich lore, a dedicated fanbase, and Henry Cavillâan actor who actually respected the source materialâit had all the ingredients for success.
But then Netflix did what Netflix does best:Â ruined it.
A Perfect Start⊠Then a Total Disaster
Season 1 had its flaws, but Cavillâs passion for Geralt and the overall world-building kept fans engaged. It was dark, gritty, and most importantlyâit felt like The Witcher.
Then Season 2 happened.
Suddenly, Netflixâs writers stopped caring about the books. Characters were rewritten, lore was twisted beyond recognition, and by the time Season 3 came around, The Witcher was unrecognizable. Cavill fought hard to keep it faithful, but even he couldn’t save it from disaster.
The Writers Vs. The Fans
One of the biggest controversies? The showâs own writers mocked the source material. Instead of embracing the beloved Andrzej Sapkowski novels, they treated them like an inconvenienceâsomething to “fix.” The result? A watered-down, messy show that alienated both book fans and casual viewers alike.
Even the original author, Sapkowski, seemed to care more about cashing Netflixâs checks than preserving his work. When CD Projekt Red adapted The Witcher into one of the greatest video game trilogies ever, he complained about money. But when Netflix turned his stories into a dumpster fire? Silence. Funny how that works.
Henry Cavill: The Last Hope, Then The Final Blow
Cavill was the heart of The Witcherâa true fan of the books, committed to bringing Geralt to life as he was meant to be. But after endless fights with Netflixâs showrunners, he finally had enough. His departure after Season 3 was the final nail in the coffin.
And letâs be honestâreplacing him with Liam Hemsworth? Thatâs not a “bold choice,” thatâs a desperate move.
The Fallout: Can The Witcher Be Saved?
With Cavill gone, fans are abandoning the show in droves. Season 4 is already facing massive skepticism, and Netflix has nobody to blame but itself.
Could The Witcher have been the next Game of Thrones? Absolutely.
But thanks to Netflixâs arrogance, itâs now heading toward the Hall of Forgotten Shows.
