    Where did you hear that? Thats not even remotely what happened.

    Cavill reportedly badgered his agent to let him meet with The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich as she recalls him being “really annoying” with his insistence on playing the lead role in the series that (at the time) she hadn’t even begun writing yet

    Yeah, no the show had no intentions of telling the same story from the start. Cavill pushed himself into a show and badgered them to get what he wanted which was entirely different than what was planned.

    He fucked everything up before it even started.

      Are you saying they intended for the show to be even further from the source material? Maybe don’t call the show “The Witcher” then.

          The games change the books’ ending. So anyone pointing at them as examples of reverence is just putting their own ignorance on display xD
