    As you can see, Geralt wouldn't have even shown up until episode #4 and the last 2 episodes would have just been Ciri running through a forest. Watching all three characters' perspectives of the events which span an entire century gives weight to the idea that the three are intertwined by destiny.

      The audience aren't stupid, leaving it linear would've been more powerful since it'd been a slowburn which will let you truly soak in the world of every characters story and journey, there is a reason most acclaimed tv series have a slowburn quality to them, if this was linear story i bet you it'd had a few awards under its belt, its really really good in linear form. Timeline mixing can be a bit too much, its like vfx for writers, its seems cool nd a bit flashy but can dilute the story if that used extremely carefully.
      The only writer i know who is a jedi with timeline mixing i'd say is aaron sorkin, social network nd jobs movie were just a masterclass on how to mix timelines nd one thing i can learn from how he uses it is that he doesn't use it to switch perspectives, using it timeline mixing in that way can really dilute the story imo. memento is probably the most incredible example of timeline mixing. oh Tarantino's pulp fiction is another great example but in that movie he isn't just jumping from character to character, he sorta ends a short story of a character before cutting to a new character which gives it that slowburn feel plus the fact that their perspectives arent aligned from some sort of central goal is pivotal too.

    • @thedarkemissary
      @thedarkemissary 2 года назад +60

      @@afrosymphony8207 Nah. Those aren't good comparisons. Memento time jumps are used as reveals, because it's based around a mystery. And this isn't a case of using time jumps as flashbacks to analyze how we got to the present. Pulp Fiction results more in an "out of order, rewind" kinda of viewing.
      Witcher IS linear, but running in parallel. It's multiple perspective, like a Walking Dead or Game of Thrones or Crash. The "time jumps" only feel like time jumps because when the perspective switches, it goes to people who have been alive for decades before meeting in the end.
      Again, if you stuck strictly to 1 singular temporal overview perspective, then Yen would have 4 episodes by herself telling a 50 year journey before she even meets Geralt in the town of Rinde. Then you'd get 3 episodes of their time together before Ciri is even born on the last episode. This isn't like a Social Network or a Jobs where the focus is on a singular character or reflection on a singular life. There isn't a pivotal character. All three are linked, so their stories were told at the same time despite being centuries apart in length.

      @@thedarkemissary no i think those movies are very good examples of how to use time jumps regardless of the story you're dealing with.
      And u kinda pointed out the main problem why it doesnt work as well in this, it created lack of a pivotal centre if i might say. i mean can't you see how bizzark the entire structure is explaining it like that??
      imagine if lord of the rings decided to give us legolas and gandalfs story of how he became a wizard by time jumping between their various perspectives across multiple time periods nd frodo's mission just to show they were connected by destiny or whatever, we can all agree it would'nt have turned out quite as impactful as the lotr we know and love today cause it would've fucked up the central goal of the movie. Game of thrones too by the way, i mean my gosh have you read the books, they have alot of stuff that could've been told via time jumps but imo that's not a device you use to tell a story across an ENTIRE season unless you really really know what you're doing with it.

    • @thedarkemissary
      @thedarkemissary 2 года назад +21

      @@afrosymphony8207 Right. But, that's the entire point. You have the ring (in present day) that's the central plot point. Everyone else's story resolves around this ring. So, when they do do flashbacks of where the ring came from, how Bilbo got it, all the stuff with Gandalf's back story or Aragorn's back story (not to mention all the stuff left out from the books). It's all in flashback form. Or it's insinuated. And it's all interesting, but it doesn't really factor into the present physical thing/concern.
      Whereas the entire focus of the Witcher universe is on the idea/concept of this relationship between these 3 characters. There's no ring to destroy, no mountain to get to, no monster to fight, no helms deep to defend. It's all about how these 3 lives interact with each other, have interacted with each other, will interact with each other, from lowly witcher to world renown sorceress to blooddaughter of the gods.
      Look at it like this, imagine if how Gandalf became a wizard was actually central to the plot. Like knowing how and why he became a wizard was actually pivotal to understanding how he interacts with others and how others interact with him. And again, this is in the context that Frodo and Gandalf haven't met yet, that there isn't a mission yet. It'd be a chapter of him doing his thing, a chapter of Bilbo doing his thing, jumping back and forth, repeat until they eventual meet in the Shire and dude drops the ring on the floor. Except, Gandalf has been around for 200 years and some of the important events that happen to him happened before the Shire even existed.

But until episode 7 it's confusing as hell. It should be simple to watch and read the show. I hope season 2 doesn't have these time jumps. They don't even have subtitles for these timelines. They just come unannounced out of nowhere and confuse the viewer. I had to rewatch the show and use Google to help me understand it. I have watched many shows. No other show made me google like this one to help me understand it. Any series should be easy to understand. Also they use a lot of jargon and terminology which if you haven't read the books or played the games is so confusing. You don't know what they are even talking about.
