The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Did not know this existed till I finished Season 2 of The Witcher (which is fantastic BTW)

This is a prequal and I cannot wait

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

It was announced some time ago, I recall it being mentioned in one of our topics.
Its already been filmed, and is in post production, due for release sometime in 2022.

(The last report I saw mentioned "late" in 2022).

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Yeah I never saw buried in another topic. Anyway seeing it for the first time excited me somewhat

found the post it was 18 months ago. Anyway I think it deserves its own thread if you disagree delete it

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Why would I disagree :confused: thats the entire purpose of the TV forum.

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Fair enough :)

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Michelle Yeoh (Philippa Georgiou in Discovery) will star in it, as will Lenny Henry (who will apparently also be in Lord of the Rings).

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

In fairness General this thread has nothing to do with The Witcher season 2.

It is about a prequel mini series.

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

I was going to move it, but strangely, it seems we dont have an actual topic for The Witcher.

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Yes Paul, I didn't check until after my post.

I'm a bit amazed as I've enjoyed The Witcher but perhaps like others never felt the need to post.

Perhaps I'll start one tomorrow.

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

A lot of the good series are all posted in mixed threads and do not get their own

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

There is that.

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

I need say no more

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Then why didn't you create one instead of posting something here that had nothing to do with the thread?

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Weird how the prequel got a thread but not the main show. Love the show and can't wait for this one to come out. It feels like it can be such an awesome universe to expand on.

Re: The Witcher Blood Origin
 

Because now isn't the right time to start a new thread for the sake of posting a funnily little video. If we were in a position where we were approaching a new season and there were new trailers to post, excitement and speculation to share and post-episode comments to make then I would have happily made a thread. The fact that nobody even made one during or after season 2 shows nobody can be bothered and starting a thread now will just mean it disappears into the ether until season 3 in a year's time or so.

Pretty much everyone who is interested in the prequel series will also be interested in The Witcher so in the short term this was the right place for it as it will ensure the video attracts the attention of the desired audience.

Re: The Witcher: Blood Origin
 

Yep, looks good. :)

Re: The Witcher: Blood Origin
 

Sadly, looks can be deceiving, it was mediocre at best.

The end seemed rushed and confusing, not sure what even happened to the bad guy (priest).
The land was then flooded with Humans (basically Elves, just without the pointy ears) - who despite being dumped from another world, somehow survived and thrived.

There were the expected doses of modern woke nonsense.

Random black characters - but how ? from where ?
There was no evidence of any land with really strong sunlight where such coloured tribes and communities would have evolved. They just randomly happen to exist.

In fact the whole show was infected by the mandatory diversity targets, with no explanation of how this 'diversity' could possibly have happened in a place that seemed to consist of one landmass, divided into three kingdoms, all with apparently similar climate.

These kingdoms had also been at war with each other for 1000 years ..... really ?
How on earth have they managed to stay at war that long, with no obvious effects.
After 1000 years of war you would expect pretty much everything to be destroyed, and no one left to fight, but no, all seemed to be doing just fine.

Re: The Witcher: Blood Origin
 

Yeah I agree. The pre Witcher was ok but without an explanation as to where the experiments went leaving out the need for a monster it does not really give us a Witcher origin story at all . It gave us a slight incite to the monoliths but that is all. Best part about it was Jaskiers song at the end although his importance as mentioned in E1 was not really explained either
