Why the fuck is the Barbie movie of all things showing off the nine dash line? That took actual effort to include.

Well, as a Filipino, fuck em. The nine dash line is the biggest piece of bullshit on Earth and if WB wants to suckle on China's teint, then they deserve all the past and future utter box office failure they get.

They really just called it isekai huh...

Who the fuck is this even for? Enough with Isekais already! DC already did this with Batman Ninja.

I was going to say it's funny that it's yet another Batman property that gets an anime treatment, but I completely forgot that Batman Ninja was basically an isekai too.

It looks good! Kinda wish somebody would leak the episode they showed at anime expo.

If they put it in Netflix jail instead of releasing it weekly I'm going to invite Netflix executives to go on a deep sea expedition

Netflix criticised for ‘tone deaf’ attempt to lure in The Witcher viewers

‘I can’t believe this is real, holy s***,’ one shocked viewer wrote

www.independent.co.uk

On one hand, yeah it’s pretty tactless, but OTO what were people really expecting after the shitstorm reaction to Cavill leaving.

It’s no secret about the lack of faith fans have in Liam playing Geralt. Did he even care about the series before being offered the role?

Liam Hemsworth Won't Make a Worthy Witcher

Liam Hemsworth will take Henry Cavil's place as actor of Geralt in The Witcher series. Here is why Liam Hemsowrth won't make a worthy witcher.

thenerdstash.com

Additionally, Cavill was the best choice due to the fact that he knew and appreciated the world of The Witcher. Cavill has a huge amount of passion for the lore and understood the character of Geralt.
When you replace that kind of actor after three seasons, you are not going to get positive results. Maybe if this happened at the start of the second season or the middle of the first season, it would be doable. But once you get used to Geralt being fantastically portrayed by Henry Cavill for so long, it is a near-impossible task to replace him.

So the smart thing to do would just be canceling the show (or rewrite it to focus on a new protagonist like Ciri). It happens all the time for far, far lesser reasons. It’s kinda already tanking anyways because people have binged it and know it’ll never be the same, hence the desperate marketing tactics of Netflix.

Yeah, that's acknowledging they are in a bad place instead of pretending they aren't.
