Don't you know? Eastern and central Europe are known for their vast quantities of African and Middle Eastern natives...How dare your European fantasy only have Europeans in it!

Well,I read polish short novel,when in movie from 2050 black polish king with his trans knights defeat Teutonic Order in 1410 in the name of tolerance.
I'll wait for the sequel when they run down the Ottoman Turks in 1683 in the name of Acceptance.
Look at that from positive point of viev - we at least could not be didappointment anymore,becouse nobody expect anything good anymore.Honestly, at this point I'm not expecting all that much anymore. I'll already be happy if they cut the incompetent hopping between time lines in Season 2.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it was going to take place in a high school as well.I find it incredibly sad and funny and annoying in equal parts how Netflix keeps missing the mark on this out of sheer wokeness. This is just the most recent proof of that. Even if we were to ignore the obvious elephant in the room for a moment - that the races featured in the relevant part of the continent range from northern European to southern European phenotypes (if we're generous!) and Michelle Yeoh is undeniably Asian: she's also old. Yes, not granny-like old, but too old. Elves are supposed to be relatively ageless and beautiful, even in the Witcherverse. The same rings true with dryads, so Netflix at least consistently shits the bed there...
Also, if this deals with the conjunction of the spheres, how can it possibly deal with the creation of the first Witcher? The conjunction was around 1,500 years ago, IIRC. Witchers only came about when the northern lands were settled by humans, a process that started around 760 years ago in universe, if I've got my dates remembered correctly. So, from the get go this makes no effin' sense!

By now that's about as plausible as everything else.And turn them all into monstergirl vampire ninja fighting bad white christian people
Game of Thrones for all of its faults had a way bigger cast - main characters, secondaries, and extras - than The Witcher and managed to achieve far better production values all around, with better CGI, larger and better sets, better costumes, you name it. And it only ended up costing as much as The Witcher by season six, IIRC. Even if we account for Cavill consuming the total sum of Europe's annual protein shake production, we got significantly less quality bang for the buck than with comparable genre productions, with mediocre writing at best. Just contrast the visuals of the GoT dragons with the ones we got in The Witcher. It's like putting a modern blockbuster against a 90s shlock series like Hercules.@Culsu
Henry Cavill alone was paid $400,000 per episode for The Witcher. That's 4% of the budget right there.
$10,000,000 is ultimately not a lot for a 60 minute per episode series. That's what, $160,000 per minute?
Hollywood blockbusters are frequently $1-$1.5 million per minute these days.
A kid friendly Witcher series? What's next? A porn series without sex?
The Witcher
Everybody looking at this sideways and...Actually, I think this could work if they embrace it right.a more kid friendly animated series.

I mean, nobody would argue Mortal Kombat or, like, Killer Instinct (oh no...am I dating myself with this reference?) weren't 'kid-friendly' in a very certain way. They were accessible, they were relatively easy to understand plot/'plot' wise, and they were cool. Doing that with the Witcher universe could work. 'Witchers versus the evil monsters'' works as child friendly, you just hafta sideline the sex and political intrigue aspects.
