Holko 9,499 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Costume looks good. The Nilfgaardian armor I saw on a friend who was an extra looks good too, as does an aninatronic monster head.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 In the end (after a bad costume reveal last year) Cavill looks the part, back and front. In fact I'm impressed. A great mature fantasy fiction being the source, it'd be a welcome surprise if this lived up to the potential. Especially after the Game of Thrones own goal that is just waiting to be be capitalised on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I know it's only a teaser, but based on these brief clips alone I don't like the style of filming at all, it's seemingly more Xena and less Thrones. The lighting is wrong and the dialogue sounds stilted and theatrical. But I'll reserve full judgement till I've seen a full episode, because the original fiction is so good and this is full of potential for Netflix.

Holko 9,499 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Eh. Not seeing the world I read about in this at all. The core of the whole thing, at least back in the short stories which they are mostly adapting, is a Slavic-Germanic fairytale universe turned on its head somewhat, made dark and unpleasant with dry black humour. You, far away, know how shocking it is to discover the original uncensored Grimm fairytales with CInderella's sisters hacking parts of their feet off to fit into the shoes and such, imagine going another degree or two further from that into real bloody territory with genetic alteration, ancient blood magic, creatures born out of human fault or sin, political intrigue and such. This here is generic Western fantasy mixing looks and eras. Yen is... not Yen. Ciri is a bit weird. Armors, costumes and Maz's Castle are dull. Of course dryads are generically black, have fun telling them apart from Zerrikanians. Istredd and many other people are of colour, too, but the Northern Kingdoms are their own thing and migration is usually limited to merchants and such, how does that bode for these Ofieri and Zerrikanians, what are their roles in society, why have they come there, will this be touched upon at all? Or is it just the PC quota, established universe logic be damned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,327 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 My son is waiting for this like you wouldn't believe, but I must say, this trailer doesn't bode well. It's not the GOT killer we all thought it was going to be. Apparently the fans would have preferred Mads Mikkelsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it's impossible not to share the same concerns, but at the same time I'm happy to trial the finished article as part of my subscription and I'm always content not to read too much into vague teaser marketing. How long off is this from release? By bet is they're still gauging reactions and are prepared to make alterations as necessary, depending on reception. But as it stands, the tone doesn't appear to be right. That's the crucial thing for me; I can soon get over the fact that Yennefer and Ciri don't look anything like how I imagined them to (presumably these actors were cast for their suitability and chemistry), so long as they nail the mood. I'm also not expecting a verbatim adaption of the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
