@@budgiecat9039 precisely, and may i add all three too focused in diversity even on a society that is homogenous. i mean The WItcher setting is in Poland, and that is not America, there is no reason Poland would have that many diverse people. especially in that time period.
So the lesson from Blood Origin, Rings of Power, and Willow is if your not going to respect the source material don’t bother making a prequel/sequel in the first place
I remember a time in which the first requirement for Writers and Directors was to know and love the source material... Now it seems the producer deliberately try to select people who hate it...
In Willow, loved how they spent an entire episode trying to get into a room with a locked black huge wooden door. Then when they finally get the door open the camera slowly starts to look inside, then stops and everyone is standing outside. No one says what it in the room, why they wanted to get in there. -_- Hahahahaha.
Said it before, I'll say it again: increasingly, I think a lot of these activist "creators" are realizing the days of companies giving unending money and freedom are almost over, and they're using the last bits of those powers to recklessly spite either the fans or their bosses bank accounts. Honestly, stuff like Blood Origin, it sounds like they're not even putting in a token effort anymore.
i disagree. I think they can do stuff like firing Mr Cavill then accusing him (without anyone coming forward nor any police reports filed) of sexism and harassment and misogyny BECAUSE they are so self assured that the good times for them will never end. With stuff like Blood Origin and She Hulk, these people are PROUD of themselves and have full media and internet support as they change everything of the origins to INTENTIONALLY "troll" haters. "owning" haters and incels is even MORE important to them than if the project succeeds, since they know they're not going to get fired or anything bad will happen to them.
@@tunebeat3809 why even call them activists, they are not even good at it, just call them for what they are, shit writers that can't even write shit. Activists are too good a label even for them
@@enightc There are people that call the radical activists 'cultists' as they can't tolerate anyone opposing their ideology, especially for legitimate reasons.
What I learnt from 2022: Talent is no longer needed. What matters... is to push "The Message". It's no longer about hiring talented people with a great vision and who are also FANS of said source material ready to ENTERTAIN you. If you tick those precious political boxes, there you go. You get Blood Origin, Willow and Rings of Power. And we thought we couldn't possibly get shows worse than Batwoman. How wrong I was...
If you notice; none of these IPs are original; they're just taking/hujacking preestablished IPs and railroading through them in their own image; so there's no passion for said work since they never created it to begin with.
@@budgiecat9039 Yup. I sure did. And they surely love pulling the victim card when backlash inevitably arrives in full force. I mean have you seen what the writers for The Witcher said about Henry Cavill ? Stuff like how he was "red-pilled" , made the work environment difficult "for women" , was obsessed with video games and even used video game "bro language" ? Hilarious stuff.
Basically, batwhaman is the inspiration for every upcoming fantasy / superhero tv show. Moral of the story. Turn off the tv, play video games, read normal books, manga and french bande dessines

The cut from 6 to 4 (mostly for budgetary reasons) was put forward about a week before production wrapped, and then confirmed while it was in post. They shot one or two revised scenes for the last episode with Lenny Henry and the Empress lady and the rest is what they'd already done.
@@reginaphalange9417 Nope. They ran out of money and just bodged it together to put it out. That's why most of the CGI, comping, greenscreen and added scenery suck so bad. It was done as cheaply and quickly as possible.
Dude, that review had a lotta punch. It was a thing of aural beauty. I'm still howling with laughter. Happy (tardy) New Year! We all hope this next year isn't as bad as it looks like it's going to be.
I'm daydreaming of what might have been if a competent team that respected the lore had decided to do a genuine Witcher prequel about the Conjunction of the Spheres and/or Bloody Falka. Same as if a competent team that respected the lore had made The Silmarillion.
Oh god yes.. the back story of the Conjunction of the Spheres, humans being tossed into an alien world along with a lot of VERY nasty monsters that kept wanting to turn them into breakfast, desperately surviving even with help from the Elves to learn magic, and finally pouring all of their knowledge in combat, magic and alchemy to create Witchers to finally be able to handle said monsters...even if it was made to a mediocre quality I would still watch something with THAT kind of epic story. Not this half-assed Blood Origin bullshit they shat out.
@@r_r_rye2441 She led massive and bloody peasant rebellion because they refused to make her heir to the throne And of course commited so many atrocities that even Netflix Nilfgaard would be good guys
I hope you do a full Willow review. I dropped off after episode 4. I’ve gotten more entertainment out of people reviewing that dumpster fire than actually wasting time watching Willow. Best to wash it out of my brain and forget it happened.
It was pretty bad to start, but when they killed off Silas i was like well i'm good. They killed off one of the chars i actually liked and that was a scale tipped way to far.
I worry about Thorias sometimes. The degree to which he harms himself by watching these awful shows to chronicle their failures is almost worthy of candidacy for sainthood.
You have my condolences and my admiration for all that you have had to suffer and still survive. You have my prayers for the protection of your humanity and sanity.
People who HATE can never make something good. If they HATE the source material so much, THEN DON"T TOUCH IT! Nothing comes from hate. Only people who love the source material or at least respect it can make good shows!
Nah. The Starship Troopers movie was awesome. You can get some great millage out of a spoof. But first you NEED to be aware you are making a spoof. Trying to make a genuine adaptation and throwing spoof energy into it, is just crap.
They got a chance to show what they could do on their own without anyone back seating them and what that amounted to was wasting multi millions of dollars of Netflix's money to make their fanfic with a franchise sticker slapped on it.
wait until you realize that this is not even how the Witcher was created spelled out in the novels multiple times. So the Writer changed the lore that really served no purpose at all.
OMG, snorting and laughing. The song is, "Toss a coin to your Witcher." I agree with your analysis of the show. It's a string of random contrivances barely held together by irrelevant and uninformative exposition.
I remember you saying in one of your videos you havent watched Lucifer on Netflix. I would recommend it actually. I enjoyed the show through all 6 seasons and Tom Ellis is the man. I hope it will help you regain some sanity after the putrid shows you had to endure in 2022
I'll never forget when i left the theater after seeing the last jedi. I was angry, i felt numb with hate, betrayed. So i went and talked to oneof the employees at the theater and we discussed just how awful that movie was for 30 minutes. I had to get it out of my system or i would have smashed something
Once again, Thorias takes another one straight into the nuts for the team, so we don’t have to. I find myself taking a huge deep breath after these Tirade/reviews, knowing that he has saved so many people so many times, watching all this crap. I thought it couldn’t get any worse than Bat-woman…. I was wrong. Thank you sir, you are Legend.
The biggest insult Willow, Blood Origin and Rings of Power made to thr fantasy genre is that they all look exactly the same, which is ironic considering the push for diversity, and nowhere is that more apparent than with the Elves. Elves are supposed to be these ancient, wise and almost aetherial beings but in all 3 of these shows they're basically just humans with pointed ears. And that's really the vibe all 3 shows give. Generic.
Thorias has gone through a painful, experimental process of enduring horrors and blight - tv and movies that should have remained caged in hell. But he has come out the other side ... different. Stronger. A mystery to mortal men. And now he can face the monsters the rest of us fear.
It's a sh*tshow after another Flash Supergirl Batwoman Wanda-vision She Hulk Miss Marvel Rings of Power Cowboy Bebop Obi-Wan Kenobi Willow The Witcher without Henry Cavil The Witcher Blood Origin and the list goes on...
the beginning of episode 5: Geralt wakes and mutters 'damn that was a horrible nightmare, all about crazy women and psycho dwarves... Now what's on the dance card today... Drowners!'
I don't know what you mean, this is the best Cosmic Horror ever invented, it's so absolutely disgusting and horrifying that it scarred me down to my Archetypal Spirit. Now I know what Hypnos felt when he viewed the Outer Gods.
Your anger at having to suffer through Blood Origin is palpable. Btw, from a slightly less Witcher neophyte, anyone that has read one of the first two books knows that the process of becoming a witcher is long, grueling and brutal, starting in childhood and consisting in equal parts of potentially fatal training and potentially fatal magical drugs.
Im pretty sure this is by design now,.. Gender and race swap characters of beloved IPs. With the sole purpoise of dividing the fan base, And then calling everyone who disagree, Biggots, phobes, misogonist and racists. Its exactly the same playbook they all are following.
Canning it forever and call it a day - I completely agree this is what Netflix should have done to this abomination. Even more so than other abysmal endeavors of 2022, this one was an actual offense to human sentience.
For your comment about not knowing the lore of the Witcher before watching Blood Origins, it can be summed up very easily. The things they got right: There is a world that does not have humans in it, instead elves are the primary dominant race, and then there's a Conjunction of the Spheres. They utterly fucked up EVERYTHING ELSE! EVERY. SINGLE. THING. The year of the Conjunction (1500 years before the main Witcher story/games, not 1200), who created the first Witchers (humans, not elves, several centuries after humans showed up), why they were created (so that humans could actually start properly surviving against the very nasty monsters that also showed up during the Conjunction as standard mages and soldiers couldn't handle that kind of endless tracking and combat), Dwarves being an actual completely separate species WITHOUT pointy ears instead of simply shorter Elves...they got it ALL WRONG.
Didn't Warwick Davis say he based his "performance" on Mark Hamill from TLJ? He probably realised they'd destroyed his character so just said "Fuck it!"
Willow movie always felt like medieval high fantasy Star Wars in a way anyway. Willow = Luke ; destined unlikely hero the sorceress = Obi Wan Madmartegen = Han Solo Dude with the skull mask (forget his name) = Darth Vader the little girl/baby = Princess Leia etc you get the idea So of course Disney now with Willo series in current times wanted to ape off TLJ. Why? because theyre retarded lol
Sadly Geralt / witcher is not main character even in "The witcher" show also Willow is not main character of "Willow show" they are not even 2nd main character, witcher possibly 3rd, and willow maybe in top 5?
Dude, I generally give no fuck about youtubers that spend the (nearly) entire video filming themselves seaking. But you managed to sound like you did some serious work, ans in the end you managed to catch my attention totally to the point which I'm gonna have a go at your channel see if I can find other interesting things.
Michele Yeoh tried her best (as she always does), but some scripts are impossible to redeem...and this is one of them. I bet she made them pay her in advance.
They have to outw0ke all the generic strong female characters who beat men 2X her size. They have a dwarf strong female character who beats men 6X her size.
The thing I find amusing about the finale is -spoilers- the show goes “I hope you weren’t too invested in all that political intrigue and logistics we put forth in episode 1 and 2” because the last episode ends with the characters killing the bad guys and leaving to go back to living in the middle of no where. So we’re just expected to believe the empire runs itself now. It just feels very shallow. And of course, this story is supposed to inspire the elves to rebel against the humans and give them hope, when really the humans are barely in the story and the situation is a result of the elves’ short sightedness and greed. The humans and monsters had nothing to do with the conjunction of spheres.
And Rings of Wokeness. When you watch a random clip cut out of any of these series it´s impossible to tell what series it is taken from. It´s all so generic, with bad CGI and absurd diverse cast.
They made willow talk shit about himself and put himself down and basically saying him saving everyone from the movie was all luck. No he used his brain and a trick he perfected and out smarted his opponent.
Did you like how the princess gathered all the warmongers from all sides together to kill all the people who were literally signing peace treaties (including her own family) so that she could bring about peace (some how the other kingdoms are all like the necromongers from riddick “you keep what you kill” and just hand over their entire kingdoms to the murderer of their kings) and what SURPRISED when the warmongers didn’t want peace….. Boy that second grade writing level sure looked stunning behind tens of millions of dollars
Perhaps Netflix can 'excel': get Uwe Boll to do a Bloodrayne TV series 'starring' Ben Kingsley as 'angry wooden statue vampire lord' (reprising his role in the original film)
Even on YT there are better Witcher movies. There's Alzur's Legacy and Witcher parody movies such as "Dwa Miecze I Amulet'' or Magnaci I Czarodzieje". All have English subtitles
I remember finishing the second season of The Witcher and before the credits end we get this little preview about Blood Origin, I was like "wait this does not look like anything I'm familiar with the games and books" and thought it was weird... didn't think it would ever be this bad.
You have not lost all hope already by the second season finishing? I liked season one after I understood the time frames. And I was like, okay, they needed to find themselves here. So season two will be more coherent, characters are established and all. This could be good. And then came the "Ciri is almighty"-hell of boredom...
Its amazing that in terms of high fantasy adaptations, a 2 minute Brazilian made car commercial using a live action adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 80's cartoon as a vehicle for said commercial had more heart and respect for the source material than any of these three shows lol
I'm a massive book and game fan, everything you got mad about X100 is about how mad I am right now! It was so easy, fans were hungry for this. All I wanted was some sword fights, monsters and shirtless Cavill....was that really to much to ask for?? As a female gamer I'm getting super sick of the girl boss crap, and I'm saying this as a middle aged, childless career woman lol
New DLC for Witcher 3! Geralt finds a portal in a cave, and it brings him to this world. Now he take all of his skills, and see how long it takes him to kill every single person?!

the show goes “I hope you weren’t too invested in all that political intrigue and logistics we put forth in episode 1 and 2” because the last episode ends with the characters killing the bad guys and leaving to go back to living in the middle of no where. So we’re just expected to believe the empire runs itself now. It just feels very shallow. And of course, this story is supposed to inspire the elves to rebel against the humans and give them hope, when really the humans are barely in the story and the situation is a result of the elves’ short sightedness and greed. The humans and monsters had nothing to do with the conjunction of spheres.
You're not going insane, Blood Origins and Willow ARE the same show
And Rings of Wokeness.
When you watch a random clip cut out of any of these series it´s impossible to tell what series it is taken from. It´s all so generic, with bad CGI and absurd diverse cast.
I am so glad you did not mention the words woke. It's refreshing and feels like the most honest review I've heard in along time
Looks like a Uwe Boll film.
It's worse than She Hulk? Wow! XD
Movies and shows for the most part don't go out of their way to denigrate women to the extent they're doing to men for the past few years.
Wahoo!! Almost at 50k. Let’s gooo!!
Oh wow there's actually a line saying it'll piss Geralt off? Oof. They must have been so proud of themselves
They made willow talk shit about himself and put himself down and basically saying him saving everyone from the movie was all luck. No he used his brain and a trick he perfected and out smarted his opponent.
Willow is my Bassett hounds name. She so cute w her big ears....lol. 🐶
How exactly does a dwarf elf work?
Did you like how the princess gathered all the warmongers from all sides together to kill all the people who were literally signing peace treaties (including her own family) so that she could bring about peace (some how the other kingdoms are all like the necromongers from riddick “you keep what you kill” and just hand over their entire kingdoms to the murderer of their kings) and what SURPRISED when the warmongers didn’t want peace…..
Boy that second grade writing level sure looked stunning behind tens of millions of dollars
Willow's beginning sounds like Terminator Dark Fate where John Connor gets killed.....
Happy New Year and all that jazz and thank you for your service, watchin this crap so we don't have to... :P
Perhaps Netflix can 'excel': get Uwe Boll to do a Bloodrayne TV series 'starring' Ben Kingsley as 'angry wooden statue vampire lord' (reprising his role in the original film)
Even on YT there are better Witcher movies. There's Alzur's Legacy and Witcher parody movies such as "Dwa Miecze I Amulet'' or Magnaci I Czarodzieje". All have English subtitles
Here's hoping for Hollywood will go back to the early years of film making for 2023
when you say, that maybe these producers hear every UK accent the same, I think you're onto something there.
I remember finishing the second season of The Witcher and before the credits end we get this little preview about Blood Origin, I was like "wait this does not look like anything I'm familiar with the games and books" and thought it was weird... didn't think it would ever be this bad.
You have not lost all hope already by the second season finishing?
I liked season one after I understood the time frames. And I was like, okay, they needed to find themselves here. So season two will be more coherent, characters are established and all. This could be good.
And then came the "Ciri is almighty"-hell of boredom...
"its so bad! its so bad! it's messed up! horrible job!"
5 mins in before you give a reason
Somebody really wanted to out do Rings of Power in terms of shittiness (Willow is also in competition).
Its amazing that in terms of high fantasy adaptations, a 2 minute Brazilian made car commercial using a live action adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 80's cartoon as a vehicle for said commercial had more heart and respect for the source material than any of these three shows lol
I'm a massive book and game fan, everything you got mad about X100 is about how mad I am right now! It was so easy, fans were hungry for this. All I wanted was some sword fights, monsters and shirtless Cavill....was that really to much to ask for?? As a female gamer I'm getting super sick of the girl boss crap, and I'm saying this as a middle aged, childless career woman lol
Thank you so much I was going to continue my subscription for Netflix just to watch this
Happy new year to you as well.
I am sorry you (had to) watch(ed) this show. Absolutely sad what is produced these days.
£5 says the editing department had to cut this to ribbons deep into post-production, hence why it’s so cack-handedly put together.
Happy New Year!
It could be worse... With all the 4th wall breaking, SheHulk just might have shown up in this series!
New DLC for Witcher 3!
Geralt finds a portal in a cave, and it brings him to this world. Now he take all of his skills, and see how long it takes him to kill every single person?!
Thorias sums it up in a nutshell; 7:50
Happy new year’s to you sir 😎😎
That man arm on the poster has the Batman symbol on it 😮😮
We appreciate the sacrifice of your sanity.
Could all these script writers be using the same AI to write the scripts instead of actually doing real story writing?
No, no. It features a little person and her vengeful hammer and men kissing men. I mean, that's what fantasy is, right?
