Rumor has it, the worst monsters are the ones we create ourselves. But watching it again, I guess there's a brief shot of a bipedal monster's hand and back as well. Definitely wouldn't consider that full of monsters, though.

We got a strigga and a kikimora, that sounds about right for the first season.

Cross-Section posted:I don't know what you folks are talking about, that trailer was full of monsters I recently downloaded the game and never read the books or played the other games and just sent Triss and the other sorcerers out of Novigrad and is that spoiler true because if so I have been playing extremely wrong. You know me by the trail, etc.

davidspackage posted:Aside from the brief shot of Geralt under the influence of potions at the end there, that just doesn't look weird enough. But I'll give it a shot and prolly hatewatch it It does look kinda generic. They should have leaned hard into the weird. Also getting into Yennefer's backstory, (most of which will have to be made up, I think?), deflates all mystery about the character and it looks like about sorceresses in general. I am not sure they're really getting it :\ Cavill looks pretty great though, but I am not sure he can do otherwise.

The game itself is porn not sure why you need a parody Also am I not supposed to gently caress every character remotely interested in me or am I also playing the game wrong there

kiimo posted:The game itself is porn not sure why you need a parody No in this case you're playing it right. I think there's only two instances where it can bite you in the rear end. Sleeping with both Triss and Yennifer in the third game will cause both of them to leave you, and there's an elf at some point that says she's dtf but leads you into an ambush or something. Otherwise, get your dinky stinky.

Lore-wise, witchers are viewed strictly as contract monster-hunters, but in reality (and as you've seen in-game) they end up killing more people than anything because people are dicks edit: LGD's got it Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Jul 20, 2019 |

That is going to either be completely brilliant or completely terrible and I'm not entirely convinced which way it will go. Every time I go, "Ugh, that looks stupid," they then do something that shows that they're doing something interesting with the themes.

It's going to start off interesting and promising, and then it gets renewed. Season 2 will be a let down, but the audience drop off is slow enough to get another renewal. Then the following season is arguably better than the last, and it gets renewed again. Season 4 is a huge drop off, but it's enough of a 'cultural moment' that it gets one more season. It's revealed that it's a short order of 6 episodes, and the showrunners are promising to finally resolve to stop dicking around seasons long mysteries and wrap it up. The final episodes are some of the worst of the entire show, and people are wonder why they wasted the last

Starting off-putting but interesting and then actually building towards something great and paying it off. Basically, I'm hoping they let him get weird with it but he keeps control of the narrative before it spins and peters out.

Watchmen was an incredibly tight narrative and trying to do the typical mystery box writing with it would be a mistake.

That Witcher trailer just looked like any really generic dark fantasy thing. Nothing about it felt like "yep, that's the source material" to me.
