It would be better then the current show where the writting wasn't good since Season 4.

Indeed. I prefer mini series nowadays. They are concentrated and you can easily marathon through in a weekend.

Netflix going all out to f*ck up the Witcher.

Netflix is specifically blocking white females from playing Ciri. The setting is based on Slavic lore and history, but no Slavic and white people need apply. It is more important to be racist and "woke"

It is going to be fun watching this series burn.

Maybe in the future we can get RuPaul cast as Emperor Hirohito of Japan for a movie role and perhaps we could cast Caitlin Jenner to play Winston Churchill and Denzel Washington to play Hitler. Who do you think plays a better Stalin, Chow Yun Fat or Jackie Chan?

Would you go with Susan Sarandon or Debra Messing play Mao Zedong?

Jennifer Lopez or Selena Gomez to play Ghandi?

Good analogy MajicMan! Comparing real people with a character in a series of pulp fantasy novels. :P

Beyond whoever they choose for Ciri, I hope that the series is good and not a cash grab that steals money from the fans of the novels and video games of the series.

That is very disappointing.. I'm not happy if your correct.

The setting was based on Slavic lore and history.
Setting got reset. XD

Blame Andrzej Sapkowski. :P
He needs $$$.

He won't do the same mistake twice. :D

After reading some of the comments made by Hissrich I'm not having high hopes.

She took a vague comment from Sapkowski about diversity of people on the Continent of his fictional settings, and immediately used it as an excuse of how you could find minorities in some Northern Kingdom village.

She literally took a setting rife with prejudice and the small-mindedness typical of rural inhabitants of Medieval-era northern Europe (something that still surfaces in such areas too damn often) and is apparently envisioning the Northern Kingdoms as some kind of bastion of (racial) tolerance. I doubt she is familiar with the setting of the books beyond some bullet-point highlights.

In one of the short stories, Geralt comments on how he knows whether or not there's a job to be had somewhere simply because people do not start to curse and throw things at him. And his white hair and strange eyes are less noticeable of an oddity than a different skin color would be.

The world of Witcher is anything but tolerant. You see that intolerance everywhere. Aside from the blatant discrimination against non-humans (strong enough to make young dwarves and gnomes to join the Squirrels without the lofty justification elves have), there is plenty of discrimination based just on social standing. Or simply being "different" enough (the mentally-handicapped girl getting a taste of mob justice in the novels comes to mind).

For fuck's sake, Geralt's introduction to Vizima was going to a low-dive tavern where he damn well knew he'd end up in a fight being a stranger. Even the burgermeister/mayor of Vizima outright comments on that.

The forced inclusiveness that is the law of Nilfgaard is one of the main points of appeal of their rule to non-humans. Witcher 3 made a very appropriate use of it during interaction with the dwarven smith in White Orchard. But apparently now we'll have a world without racial prejudice at the same time there are frequent pogroms against non-humans. Or something. Totally makes sense /s

I have no idea why the showrunner, or anybody else for that matter, think they can get an elaborately crafted story and change various elements with no consequence to internal cohesiveness at all, but I'm not exactly holding high hopes for the end result.

witcher is lotr clone to them

Much of the major roles including Ciri and Yennefer have been cast:

Here are headshots of the cast from a Reddit post:

Well, I guess many will be happy with the choice of Ciri. At least they avoided having the fans furious.

You totally nailed it.
Don't worry guys, the "whiteness" of your favorite series will be preserved.

Ciri and Geralt are the only two characters that has to be white in the series. And Ciri's parents, of course. Change Ciri and you have to change the lore and much of the story, given how her "whiteness" is actually important. She is posing as Geralt's daughter, after all.
