Was fantastic?! Emma *is* fantastic!! So much that I wouldn't want to be in her bad books no matter what! I am a woefully inadequate excuse for a human being, so I can make sucn an assessment, right?
I love how you can tell how much geralt was holding back. He could have ended it in a flash but really didn't want to kill her until forced too. Really good fight
@@joshs8704 why?? @0:47 that was probably geralt's full power strike, and renfri couldn't block it even with her guard up.. the fight was already over even before it started
Yup and at the time when she tries to get some quick strikes out with the dagger and he stops it with 1 hand she was completely open for him to strike at her with his sword but he just stood there giving her an opportunity to stop.
@@joshs8704 it was nowhere near Witcher ability. If you read the books you'd know such. As everyone else has said, Geralt did not want to kill her even when he had the opportunity on 3 different occasions during the fight, he chose not to
This fight scene actually blew me away, I've genuinely watched it once or twice a day since seeing it, I just keep coming back to it for the choreography, sound design, and soundtrack, to say nothing of the intricacies between the characters. A high point of the show for sure, it didn't really get much better than this duel for me.
@@thanos7073 Shad talks about historical accuracy and realism, which are certainly nice but not the same thing as entertaining choreography. Geralt vs renfri is one of those fights which is cool to watch but not realistic.
What i love about this fight is that it really shows you how skilled Geralt is, most of the fight he's holding back and even stopping his sword before it can slice her (at 0:47 he could have easily took her whole arm off) but when he realizes this won't end and that she's choosing death he ends the fight like that to the point of yanking her sword from her. Renfri was skilled as fuck and very fast but even with him holding back she stood no chance against Geralt.
I love this scene. One of the best in the series. Both actors are well trained just for this brief sword fight. Both actors are natural, fast and focused.I wonder why Henry doesn't learn Kun Fu. He would be a great warrior. Emma gives life to her character despite her small figure she proves her strenght in the speed and direct eye contact. A very passionate performance. Praises to Cameraman .
Love the fact that he tries to use Axii to make her leave the city... god this show is amazing *LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY! This show had so much promise... what a waste.
@@glitch3818 I do know that, just that what he used seemed more like a flash of light to me, which would indicate flame and therefore Igni. It's been a long time since I've seen this so idk, might have just been me seeing things.
@@nikosspyris Igni is red, Axii is Bright White and bluish...thats what the flame color was so i would assume its the writers interpretation of axii..Igni i assume would be a flame blast...
Oh yeah. It's very much more clear in the book, when they even talk about seven dwarves and a poisoned apple. But the story goes on, and the violence keeps going to the moment she met Geralt, and kept until her unfair death.
@@christofferhougaard she looks closer to the character from the games and seems to have more personality then what we got from very wooden triss actress they hired
@@falex1thegame No, because of her character, sad story, badass snowwhite version and chemistry between her and Geralt. And also awesome fighscewith Geralt (The best).
OMFG, that foley is amazing. Just listen the sounds of the swords crossing, the blades threading in their bodies, and when it pass through the wind... Good job, Netflix!!
renfri story deserve full 1-2 episode alone, the lore about the curse of black sun was wasted because they pack 1 episode to 2 story of ciri and renfri. thats why there is only 8 episodes this 1st season which should be 10. too rushed. hope next season they will make better writing
@@YaBoiZed Some parts sure, but show runners can't help themselves. Every marvel netflix show while mostly good, has a fuck ton of filler. The Boys and Umberella Academy cut the episode count and surprise, surprise, both lack filler and are better shows. I've seen far more shows that are full of filler than shows that feel rushed.
This fight is actually alot different compared to the book version, I'm actually sorta surprised. (sorta spoilers here) Renfri takes her skirt/kelt/whatever, off and wraps it around her wrist, and she was a bit more acrobatic in the book, and from what I could picture from reading, Geralt didn't overwhelm her, take her sword from her and then pointed his own sword at her throat. And Renfri didn't use her dagger when she fought Geralt. But she still had one, that came from her hand when she died. And adding onto that, Geralt didn't use her dagger to slice her jugular vein in the book. He sliced her femoral artery. And contrary to the show, despite Renfri asking Geralt to hold her, in the book he sorta just stands there as she dies. And my final point, Renfri doesn't mention/foreshadow Ciri in the book during her dying moments. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.
You can tell when shes fighting she is both scared and desperate. There was no way she was winning this unless she somehow got him by surprise...which she tried to but ultimately failed.
She is scared and desperate, but she doesn't appear to be fighting to win. She looks and acts like she's goading him into killing her. She has decided this is where her story ends and she's going to go down fighting.
The actress who played Renfri is so awesome. I loved her and it's sad she dies and is now off the show. She would have made a perfect Triss Merigold with either a wig or dyed hair...and I like Triss's actress just not as Triss.
does anyone know which song is this...i cant find it anywhere...even in the original ost ..they put some bullshit beat music in there, some pop and a rap song that there aren't anywhere in the series let alone fit in it but NOT this song in a most memorable for geralt part of his path
@@CROSSFADEEDAFE shouldn't it be in the official playlist at soundcloud...hell they have songs that are from witcher 3 and are never played in the series ?? they even even add pop rap and electronic music there...because when you think The Witcher you thin ELECTRONIC music.....this music is litteraly nowhere to be found yet :-|
Yup..love the attention to detail in that too..love the part when he blocks her attack to his back and just comes back with a winding counter attack straight up over powering her block altogether and cutting her shoulder...fuckin badASS..

The fight truly is a dance. Geralt didn’t want to kill her, he gave her several chances to back off. Anyone else wonder if he’s supposed to be smelling
like for me this scene is the best among all i have seen in that season. not only because of the fight, mostly about expressed emotions within it. hopefully next season goes the way
0:15 spear stance maybe, not very practical for sword with shorter reach 0:19 geralt backs away from a light slash with no power, girl spins needs 180 for a horizontal slash, geralt can just dash in to tackle, grab, push, kick, no risk of slash 0:21 now geralt makes himself vulnerable 0:24 girls goes for a spin. If geralt just makes a step forward while block that coming spinattack, next he can tackle her Then both being unconventional 0:41 geralt could have stabbed and its over instead of elaborate overhead slash Not bad overall though
from reactions to reviews from swordplay professionals nobody seems to comment on how Renfri cut Geralt's leg that wasnt just to look cool nor was it random theres a major artery right there she was trying to kill him by bleeding him to death beautiful fight scene tho
i love that geralt really trying to give her a chance more than once. You can see geralt could've killed her about 3-4 times but he didn't want to , instead he slowly icreases power of his attacks and finally he lost his patience and ends the fight in few moves. Even after this he choose to give her another oportunity to surrender but she didn't take that chance.
Yea. Well the actress who did yen was good but her eyes is really not so yen.i mean they based it on the books but the yen that was shown in the game had a really strong sex appeal and fierce eyes

So Renfri is basically a brutal, sword wielding Snow White?
Ooof if there's a reboot Snow White she should be cast
Yeah, her dark version story. Tortured, raped, hunted and (spoilers) killed Snow White (from princess became bandit with ruined life).
Oh yeah. It's very much more clear in the book, when they even talk about seven dwarves and a poisoned apple. But the story goes on, and the violence keeps going to the moment she met Geralt, and kept until her unfair death.

Way back when we had hopes on this series
The director said that the fight scenes here were shot in the first take.
Not the Renfri vs Geralt. Because the actress who play renfri had a double.
But Geralt vs Renfri's gang are one take.

They want to test the waters first once they find success im sure the season will get longer

As soon as Geralt decides he's had enough and goes on the offensive, the fight is over
Yup..love the attention to detail in that too..love the part when he blocks her attack to his back and just comes back with a winding counter attack straight up over powering her block altogether and cutting her shoulder...fuckin badASS..
If game of thrones gave us anything remotely like this I would’ve tossed a coin for season 8

1:09 this is how me and my friend thought we fought when we picked up sticks
What I really like is it feels like they’re really putting in a lot of force in the swings
Dude the swordfighting in this show was fcking awesome.
God the show had so much potential. This first few episodes were so good. So utfortunate that the rest of the show was so shit.
The fight truly is a dance. Geralt didn’t want to kill her, he gave her several chances to back off.
Anyone else wonder if he’s supposed to be smelling
He should play Rhaegar Targaryen
It’s such a shame how, in hindsight, this was the peak of this show.
Not sure if you guys realised that amazing grip at 1:08 This style is just perfect when he is pushing Renfri back.
Why can't I stop replaying the scene where he got serious after that stab
like for me this scene is the best among all i have seen in that season. not only because of the fight, mostly about expressed emotions within it. hopefully next season goes the way
Make her hair red she would've been perfect to be triss wtf man. This is clearly a wasted actress
You can see the exact moment where geralt stops to hold back
0:15 spear stance maybe, not very practical for sword with shorter reach
0:19 geralt backs away from a light slash with no power, girl spins needs 180 for a horizontal slash, geralt can just dash in to tackle, grab, push, kick, no risk of slash
0:21 now geralt makes himself vulnerable
0:24 girls goes for a spin. If geralt just makes a step forward while block that coming spinattack, next he can tackle her
Then both being unconventional
0:41 geralt could have stabbed and its over instead of elaborate overhead slash
Not bad overall though

One of the best fight scenes. I was very sad to see Renfri die. I would have liedk to have seen her in more episodes.
from reactions to reviews from swordplay professionals nobody seems to comment on how Renfri cut Geralt's leg that wasnt just to look cool nor was it random theres a major artery right there she was trying to kill him by bleeding him to death beautiful fight scene tho
I believe that was actually the same artery that Geralt cut to kill her in the books, pretty cool detail I never noticed before.
Last good episode of the series.
It's also interesting how Geralt still thinks of her ages later. So many years and she still ... lives in his head, Renfri
He tried to tell her many times - that this will not end well for her..
Did somebody realized that Geralt looks a little bit like Henry Cavil?
Damn. I guess in the books and the show, Geralt is a master swordsman.
to go from this to season to season 3 is crazy
i love that geralt really trying to give her a chance more than once. You can see geralt could've killed her about 3-4 times but he didn't want to , instead he slowly icreases power of his attacks and finally he lost his patience and ends the fight in few moves.
