Or Fil - Tumblr Posts

Okay so.. I actually enjoyed Nightmare of the Wolf?? Am I the only one?

Spoilers ahead ig

also don't expect too many words or idk poetry, I'm sick and still crying.. because yes, I cried like the whole second half of the movie.. ever since Luca- :(

The art, the sceneries, the music and the general setting was beautiful, ngl.. also the landscapes? Holy..

I also love Vesemirs character development but I can also understand why he was so 'greedy' in the first place?? I dunno but it makes sense as to why he later is the way he is..

I can also kinda understand Tetra although she was a bit extreme.. Kitsu on the other hand is baby-

I wish we could have seen/learned more of Fils and Vesemirs relationship tho.. or in general more about Fil (to be honest he heavily reminded me of Avallac'h)

Another smol detail I also thought was cool were the witcher belt chains?? Like dis is actually smart-

Also bald queen Geralt with freckles?? Yes please.. also yes please to all the witchers with disabilities!!! Only having one arm or scars or whatever doesn't make you less worth of anything.. I mean look at Sven! Casting those spells like a pro!

I always imagined the sacking of Kaer Morhen differently but I 'liked' their interpretation. Even tho I've seen people say things like "oh it was too weak" or "in the books Geralt almost never struggled with a monster why couldn't they just slay them?" I have some opinions on that:

First of all, Geralt is canonly stronger than most witchers and he also (excuse me if this is only fanon) outlived extra trials which made him 'better' than other witchers

Second, the beasts were controlled by Kitsu and she summoned a few hundred monsters, if not more.. she also summoned not only ghouls or wights but also basilisks and a dragon like being, along with tons of other, maybe even new mutated monsters.. also the witchers had little to no time to prepare, plus they were also attacked by villagers, guards and mages. The witchers were easily outnumbered.. in general it might have only been one against 5-10, something most witchers could have handeled in a different situation. But it was not "one person has so and so many enemies and nobody else is allowed to attack", it was a war-like situation. Also, remember the first fight against the griffin in The Witcher 3? I would dare to say we all struggled there for the first time and it was a good thing we had Vesemir there to help. Now imagine them, some of them maybe even being still slightly drunk because it was a surprise attack... in conclusion, I really liked this version of the sacking.. I dislike the general timeline, as Vesemir was supposed to already be a teacher/master.. und I also thought Geralt and Eskel were already on the path but well we can't have everything ig-

Quick edit/extra bc I've seen some ppl talk about this and I want to clarify something:

The sacking itself, who fought, who was involved, the fight.. the whole thing in itself is portraied in a way I 'like'

What I dislike is the way they made the witchers responsible for this. It should be about fear and therefore hate about unknown things, not because the witchers actually 'produced' monsters

Not all Witchers are like Geralt, as he is the exception from the rule. Most of them are not friendly or care about other beings. They do their profession and want to be paid for it.. they don't like to get emotionally involved. And their "coldness" is why normal folk hated them, besides them being very powerful and unpredictable.

The movie portraied the progrom as if the witchers, a minority, are at fault and as if the sacking is justified.. not because the bigger part of folks always hated and feared what was different from them, regardless of the witchers just wanting to live their lifes too

For most people in the Witcher Universe, witchers are no different from the monsters they slay and because of that they should have attacked and not because of the minority (or better one witcher and one mage out of all of them) that breeds what they vowed to kill
