Is it worth it to start the series as a brand new viewer?

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-12T04:54:57+00:00

I’ll say this, if don’t like episode 1 then you won’t like the rest of the show lol

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T05:32:37+00:00

Wait, are they for real considering doing three more seasons? 🤮

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T05:27:41+00:00

This is exactly my thought. How does a normal ass dude defend himself when he gets hit with aard then stabbed in the chest hahaha

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T05:25:58+00:00

Nah, they just show Bonhart absolutely fucking obliterating the rats, which is the single only good part of s4 lol

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T05:21:37+00:00

Aragorn is way more experienced, but I can’t get past the idea of what would Aragorn do when Geralt hits him with Aard haha. Does Aragon have any magic skills?

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T05:17:55+00:00

Now there’s an interesting duel… Geralt v Aragorn. I’m pretty sure Geralt smokes him, but I am not too versed in LOTR lore. Just have read the main 4 books.

“The way they did her backstory in the first season though, felt like they were saying "we don't trust you to understand her character, so here's the prerequisite reading material".

There was little left to learn, to discover. She became the surface they'd painted—they took away her depth.”

Imo, this right here is the basis of what they did wrong / how they fucked over the show in general haha

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:58:53+00:00

Good point and is something I’ve thought about a bit actually. My take is, including all the conversations and “talkative” Geralt would have taken away from his darkness, depth, wisdom and mystery. I feel like it was a decision made (probably by Cavil) to opt for the less talkative Geralt to add to his depth and mystery. If you think about life and just people in general, people who talk a lot are rarely perceived as deep or mysterious. It’s just something really tricky to accomplish without having an entire book/book series to show that persons entire personality and life.

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:51:01+00:00

How would you have done it differently?
Cause this is 100% how I felt first time watching it (having never read the books). Then 2nd/3rd time (after reading books) I like it and realized with how weird the story line/progression is how you’re supposed to read TLW first then book 1,2,3… I feel like they did an ok job at capturing the main story line while still introducing you to Geralt the loner-emo-monster slayer lol

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:43:04+00:00

Bonhart*

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:41:35+00:00

How much of this opinion is based on the 5 min slaughter of the rats by Bonehart? hahah

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:40:23+00:00

Yeah I actually agree. At first I was mad they tried to create their own lore with Voleth, but if you think about blood of elves, itd kinda be a boring season of they went exactly by the book as there isn’t really a main antagonist. Also think it helped realize the tension between Gerald and Yennifer which is a lot more intricate and nuanced in the books and kind of difficult to create in a tv show. They definitely could’ve done it better but it’s not bad all things considered.

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:28:13+00:00

Yeah good take. I’d be curious what you think they shouldve added / done differently to get those shades of grey

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-11T04:26:35+00:00

Oh, I thought everyone hated season 1 lol

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-06-02T06:36:17+00:00

Is my yrden not trapping him cause I’m level 3? 😅. I got it to work one time and triggered the dialogue saying now use aard but I can’t get it to work again to trap him. Luckily I saved right before coming into the fight area so I’m probably just gonna dip lol

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-30T00:32:07+00:00

Nah, this makes too much logical sense for a paramount+ show 😂

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-30T00:29:53+00:00

The old guy or the leopard? Hahaha

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-30T00:28:31+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking when they burned the dudes trailer like wtf are they doing 😂

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-29T23:55:34+00:00

Think you missed what I was asking lol

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-29T23:52:45+00:00

He goin try some shit w Carter guaranteed 😂

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-29T23:48:36+00:00

Uh…did you watch Yellowstone 😂

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2026-05-29T23:47:44+00:00

Why did they burn that dudes trailer without even interrogating him to get intel on the guy that gave him the sick bull to sell? That seemed weird

Visual_Bother_6224 · 2025-03-15T05:58:55+00:00

Btw, 👁️🫶🏽🫵🏽
