Poll: Henry Cavill is Geralt

[Abomination]

Are we gonna complain about a popular Western actor taking a minority's role?

No?

Poles are their own ethnic group.

I mean an English company taking a series of works that has been translated into English and sold incredibly well to English consumers is making a series in English and casting native-English speaking actors.

Wait until there are black actors/no black actors in the series and the fallout we get from that.

I like Henry Cavill, but he might be a bit too beefy and typically American looking for the part. Geralt has a very lean, almost emaciated, physique. We'll see, I guess.

Yeah, add "too young looking" to that, and you have my opinion.

But hey, maybe in this take he will show he's capable, who knows.

Eh, the movie The Hunt prevents me from seeing him as a Witcher?

Wow, it's like ACTORS can play different roles.

How about this movie, then?

Yes West-Russians are an ethnic group, but they never seemed to mind being represented by foreigners in the past

Cavill was pretty good in Tudors, and i enjoyed his preformance in The Man From UNCLE
The problem with the new superman movies is that they are pure brooding, angst and edge when it comes to script. Even Ian McKellan would sound terrible shouting "SAVE- MARTHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" under the boot of an equally angstily scripted Patrick Stewart.

At least keep Geralt's humor completely dry please.

I mean he wasn't Tony Stark when it comes to personality

I kind of want to see those two act that out just to marvel at the spectacle of it. Then again, those two are good friends off set and might just do it for fun anyway.

Just because Slavs aren't bothered by it doesn't mean it's not an issue. We're busy being offended on the behalf of the slavic peoples.

Okay, you say it would sound terrible but I really want to see it...

Sorry, my bad. What's the correct term, East Prussians, South Sweedes or North Austrians?

God damn. That's harsh.

How about name them after the areas taken in the partitions like Silensian?

No, because no-one complained about non-British actors getting roles in Lord of the Rings.

I suppose we could go with Galician which is what they were called under the Austro-Hungarian empire, but since they have regained independence i think we should go back to calling them Lower-Lithuanians

Well, i personally would preffer Bigger Czechs. No worries tho, i can see how slav identity might be a confusing subject for a North Dane :^)

I resent that. i'm a proud West Fin, not some lowly North Dane

I am looking forward to see him haggling over the cost a book to learn about a monster, or wandering aimlessly for an hour looking for that last herb so he can make his potion.

Yeah but that's what turns a kill quests into something interesting.... nesting a fetch quest inside it.

"Hey buddy, how about a game of Gwent?"

I always pictured Jurgen Prochnow for the role - his face is super gnarled, and he has the sternest looking face.

If the show doesn't work, it probably won't be Cavill's fault because it isn't an especially demanding role. Put a grey wig on someone and make him scowl; that's all the Witcher really is. The difficulty is in updating the story to a standard higher than that of a typical videogame plot.
