How do you like Netflix 'The Witcher?

The question is already in the title: How do you like Netflix '"The Witcher"?

The series is praised by many, but I personally don't find the story very convincing. Overall, it is well produced and written, but I find it predictable, clichéd and for these reasons I just don't find it very exciting.

But how do you see that?

tu

Triss Merigold is black there. So the series is completely in the bucket.

za

You have to be an absolute witcher fan to find them well

za

I feel like terminating netflix because of the blackwashing and the homogeneous stereotypes

Gi

I have to admit that I haven't read the books or played the game; but do not find this in any way disturbing.

Why do you think that this means that the entire series is "completely in the bucket"?

tu

Sometimes I do too. But then put in the new films that are good and I stay.

tu

Because Triss is actually a red-haired white woman that looks amazing. And I believe that Yennefer has colored sex, too.

They broke it, which is no wonder because women produced this series or wrote the script.

Gi

The point is that non-white people are also represented in the media. In the other direction, whitewashing often takes place.

If the skin color, which generally has no great impact or meaningfulness on / about a character, is not in any way important for the story or the identity of the character, it doesn't really bother me.

But I can understand the "homogeneous stereotypes" very well.

Mo

What bothered me was the narrative style. Due to the different time levels, which could hardly be differentiated, the whole story was quite confusing and I strapped late that they are different times. That should have been better illustrated.

I found the first episode really good, the rest ok.

A solid start with room for improvement.

Incidentally, I have neither read the books nor played the video games.

tu

Because women are unimaginative and deliver such trash. See the reviews. People knew before that it would flop as soon as it became known that women would produce it. And lo and behold, it's true.

br

But the first books were much better (also than the later books).

za

Yes, they have

women and men think completely differently

Gi

Can't we just stop attributing characteristics or weaknesses to people because of nothing like gender or origin and judging them based on these criteria? A woman doesn't have to be "unimaginative" just because she is a woman and deliver "trash". There are numerous positive and negative examples - on both sides.

tu

But that's how it is. Had men done that it would have been bombastic. Like Lord of the Rings.

Gi

And I think completely differently than my girlfriend, we belong to the same gender. 🤔

Everyone is an individual, and even if there are gender tendencies for societal and social reasons, this does not mean that they can be applied to any representative.

Gi

Oh wow, "But it is so". This argument naturally changes everything. XD Then please show me a statistic that empirically proves that all films by women are bad and those by men are good.

Do you know why women's football doesn't work?

because women don't watch it!

Women's football only works within its framework, because a few men who like men's football also watch women's football

Without the men, there would be no women's football at all

if they want the same money, for example, you have to watch women football

actually has nothing to do with the topic, but I always wanted to tell a woman of your choice ^^

Gi

It may be that women's football is predominantly or exclusively viewed by men, but I would like to have reasonable statistics.

However, I assume that there are complex reasons why women's football is not going very well - one of them is sexism, as you put it out here.

I don't understand exactly what that is supposed to mean, but please - now you've robbed a woman of "my stroke" (about according to the criteria from earlier? 🤔) with three minutes of life. 👏

za

I'm a chauvinist, racist, old, white and a voter

I only act within the parameters. ^^

man, no, it's a lot of fun

za

No, sexism is no reason

almost nobody wants to see it, so there's no money either

what should synchronized swimmers say?

nobody wants to see either

Gi

I don't really understand what you want to bring me closer with your comment. It seems like all arguments (well, "arguments") have been exchanged and a good time has come to end this discussion here.

Gi

That's true; but with the synchronized swimmers the difference between woman and man is not that big.

Although it is not super scientific, outlines the problem or this facet of it, it is quite good.

za

No, I would like to hold you a little longer, I'm falling in love right now

I'm never serious, sry

nevertheless, films made by women are different

outlander, for example

which women's film ^^ I really liked is Jennifer's body

I'm a horror trash fan and he is exactly right, you clearly notice the female handwriting, but it is ok, fits

gray mouse is a friend of cheerleeder, who becomes a demon and the mouse has to kill her in the end

is pretty much from women for women

Gi

You are not serious and therefore not to be taken seriously.

Unfortunately, I do not know the films mentioned. : / Therefore I can't make a statement there.

za

Ok, look at them and tell me tomorrow?

Gi

Gladly if you pay me the corresponding streaming sites and films. 🤷♀️
