The Witcher Polish Tv Series - Tumblr Posts
Cool! House of Glass had a really interesting storyline. Fox Children was also fun, I really liked the portrayal of the Aguara.
I think Netflix knew how big the Witcher is, or at the very least the showrunner Lauren Hissrich did, she seems to really love the story. So while I wished there was more elements from the book in the series, I liked the first season and am really optimistic about the future seasons.
I haven't watched all of the polish series yet, only small pieces, but I'm planning to see all of it. I'm curious on how they adapted the world. Did you liked the polish series?
And yeah, this fandom deserves more content. I was surprised with how little fanfic there is of it when I searched AO3. I thought with the sucess of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt there would be at least ten thousand works, but it's still close to three thousand to this day.
Hopefully this will change now and we'll get a lot of new content, both official and fan made!
The stories in the first witcher book are primarily fairy tales
Renfri is Snow White
The last wish is Aladdin
But Netflix decision not to do beauty and the beast proves them to be utter cowards
I had heard about the flaws of the polish series before, it's too bad the production wasn't good. The concept of female witchers is interesting tough, since unless I'm mistaken in the books women are not recruited (or taken) to become witchers.
I think it had something to do with the creators of the Trial of Grasses not developing it with female biology in mind, so because of that death was garanteed if a woman was forced to undergo the mutations. Vesemir even adviced Geralt to not let Ciri ever go through with the Trial, if I remember correctly.
Was there any explanation for the female witchers in the polish series? It sounds like it could be a cool storyline.
And I really wished there were male LGBT characters in the books, if not a major character then at least someone like Mislav from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (but definetely not like Dethmold was in The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings).
Maybe with the Netflix series and people shipping Geralt and Jaskier we'll see an increase in fanworks. I honestly never shipped Geralt with anyone other than Yennefer before, and they'll always be my OTP for this series no matter the media, but the Netflix show portrayal of Jaskier and his friendship with Geralt is starting to make me ship them too. But Geralt x Yennefer will always be my endgame.
