re: Witcher season 2 middle ground thread. Now full book/upcoming season spoilers

A few further thoughts… I know Blood of Elves is probably the most dialogue heavy action free book in the whole saga so to keep the show going for most people more action was needed. I just don’t think they did a good job. First off the one major fight scene from the book they did adapt only they changed it to the temple from oxenfurt which is fine whatever. It’s just a terrible fight scene and all the ones from season 1 were better. Who thought the slow motion stuff was a good idea should be fired. I understand they wanted an over arching villain so they created voleith whatever but it was fricking dumb and doesn’t work. Riance could’ve been that role with the revelation at the end of s2 being his real motivation he is an acolyte of Vilgefortz. Also it was stupid to reveal the white flames identity this early and it was only shown in the final book for a reason so it makes me conclude they’re changing his book plans in so much as I see them taking a Witcher 3 ending not the book ending which is fine idc the ending isn’t the best part of these books. I am happy they did manage to more or less frick Cahir into the right place in the most round about way possible. Again, if viewed as a reboot or alternate timeline of the universe it’s good maybe top tier. If the two seasons are viewed as adaptions, which they never stop bragging about, it’s a massive failure.
