Netflix Releases The Witcher: Blood Origin Teaser Trailer

For diversity, off course.
---

It's safe to assume that many fans will stop investing their time in the franchise now that Henry Cavill is no longer front and center. When I first heard that Netflix was developing a series based on The Witcher, I was ecstatic. Fast forward three or four years, and I'm still excited. I think it's brilliant that they're filming a prequel before the original season has even wrapped up. What, exactly, have they done to The Witcher's world? Henry Cavill has decided to leave "The Witcher" due to his dissatisfaction with the show's direction. Cavill has long been an avid player of the game and reader of the accompanying literature. As unfortunate as it may be, Hollywood and many other media outlets have absolutely messed this up.

Fantastic series, but I don't see why you'd commission writers who are hellbent on wrecking it. What I can deduce from this is that they set out to completely rewrite the project from the start. I really hope they didn't just write sloppily and form a ring of power just to say they've imposed diversity. Instead of taking a risk by adapting a popular book, they've opted to develop a prequel. I'm just crossing my fingers that the writing's good on the other side. It started off strong, but the later seasons of Rings of Power fell flat because the creators couldn't decide what to cut. My only hope is that the writing is actually good. The only people who wouldn't enjoy the show would be the ones who decided against it before it even started.

Despite the fact that Henry Cavill will be replaced by Miley Cyrus's ex-husband, about whom she penned the song "Wrecking Ball," Netflix and the crew responsible for writing, directing, and producing the show have a tremendous ability for caring about their work. In cases where you wouldn't normally do so, why do you feel the need to base your work on that of another?

The cast switch for Geralt effectively ended any interest in the show after season two. This show would be nothing without Henry. In season two, the show really went off the rails. These episodes would not be worth seeing if Henry weren't in it. In other words, the entire series would be pointless if not for Henry. It's safe to say that the premise of this series would not exist if not for Henry. I will not be applauding for this cause.
