Looks terrible and like they’re trying to out woke


So to this board, that’s totally not any type of -ist allegedly, literally any non-white male casting is woke? So in your perfect world it’d…what, only be white men in all media?

Is that what you people get off on coming into every fricking thread with these same tired criticisms?

Michelle Yeoh is an amazing actress of rather legendary status at this point. She was literally in one of the most highly acclaimed films of THIS YEAR!

How about you do some research on the source material? The entire Witcher series is rooted in Slavic mythology. Educate yourself. I have no problem with Yeoh, she’s an amazing actress. I don’t have anything against any of the other actors or actresses in this show either but all of these shows over the past few years are so FORCED with inclusivity. It’s insulting.

Their race is irrelevant, but even from this tiny arse trailer, i can derive this follows the current strategy for almost every show or film.


White man, idiot, useless, helpless. Woman, all knowing, all powerful, saves idiot useless man.


Every... fricking... show

Means nothing if she's miscast or put into a show that's garbage. Wasted talent, at least.

Was this story written by or based on the direct works of Andrzej Sapkowski? If not, then it's nothing but derivative garbage only looking to cash in on his previous works. (Like Amazon's Rings of Power)

If the shoe fits, wear it. For however long Hollywood tries to 'reimagine' established IPs and insert their own politics, true fans will reject it and speak out.

How are you not getting any of this?

Cast aside, it looks terrible

But we have a nice mix and even hint of inter racial love. Twist will be finding out which one is gay
