They had a bigger Budget than Game of Thrones in most seasons. They just don't have the right people helming the show. Witcher ~ 10 Million per Episode GoT Season 2 ~ 6 Million per Episode GoT Season 6 ~ 10 Million per Episode GoT Season 8 ~ 15 Million per Episode
Oh nai, ma mate, dats done AWFULY. Netflix in all of its incomprehensible wit decided that books tell shit, and "fixed" battle of Sodden hill by their masterful wrighting. Truth is, books told that story much better, and just reteling of it by some character would do more justice to work of Sapkowski
Really loved the depiction of wizards in battle. The scale, not so much. Playing Witcher pen&paper over a year now, our characters reached sodden hill 2 months ago. Even the stories told by the gamemaster showed a much larger picture of this battle. Despite beeing a GOOD show, the Nilfgardian armor that looks like someone painted wet toilett paper in a dark color, is just plain nonsense. 🤣
I don't know, I haven't really enjoyed much outside of bits and pieces of any of the 3 seasons. It's really disappointing. The world building and scale of everything is off.
I really don't like Yennefer (not in the books or the show; she's not AS bad in TW3) but I have mad respect for Anya and I respect the fact that not every character is supposed to be likable to everyone. That said, the way she conducted herself at Sodden was incredible. I applaud the genius of Sapkowski and of the show creators because I genuinely got chills the first time I saw her rain that fire down on the battlefield.
The books made sodden hill sound a lot more brutal but this was a pretty brilliant way showing of how powerful Wizards are and how brutal Nilfgaard is!
I feel like yennefer tapping in to vilgefortz mind only distracted him during the fight, it’s not like yennefer knows a damn thing about sword fighting, she’s not helping him she’s just nagging in his ear, can you imagine how annoying it would be to be fighting for your life with swords with some bitch screaming in your ear 😂 Yennefer : “VILGEFORTZ!” Vilgefortz : “Oh I’m sorry, do you want the sword? Maybe you should fight him”
They should have a concrete strategic plan the night before and not wait for the soldiers to get close. Like the poisonous mushrooms must be already there. Coral must not wait there alone, and the gates be heavily guarded. They should not understamate Frangilla's power
@@genesisgen3sis497 vilgeforz (mage with teleporting blade) was a male and he didnt to shit as well. Where did you see any sexism there is beyond my mind.
Mage roles are more in support and damage hard for them to stand in front of battle with armors..... And they can't use all their Mana... Check the mobile legend..
this is why tissaia's facial expression is shock/pride/fear for yen - fire magic is forbidden because in most cases, it consumes the user (as we saw happen to 2 nilfgaardian mages). yen not only conjured fire, she controlled it and protected tissaia + lived to tell the tale. that single moment made her one of the most powerful mages in the witcher universe, next to stregobor.
@@armaria0992 Yeah, her fire show was really good, same as Vilgefortz, he's really good with sword and I'm sure he played a noob to not be a discover his true power
@@MoXy69YT It's a pathetic staging, in the book the Battle of Colle Sodden (I think you might be interested :) it was a memory of Triss Merigold who was horribly mutilated and was called "The Fourteenth on the Hill" 100,000 Nilfgaardians marched against the Northern Kingdoms (united) and wizards / sorcerers. And the great author (sapkowski) was keen to let us know that it was the first battle where wizards / sorcerers joined politically with a common cause: to oppose the Nilf Empire This stuff is awful, imho :D
@@MoXy69YT Sodden is also the first battle in which wizards understand that they cannot be neutral, and it is a deep scar in the history of the Continent's magic. Ok, sorry, now I run :D
@@AkuGMC I don't read the books yet but i've played the games and they really hyped up the battle of sodden. I know games, show and books are kinda different but even yen in the games said it is so much worse that the fight with wild hunt, so im kinda hoping for big epic battle. But yeah, it still epic since i dont read the books to know more details.
@@MoXy69YT Video games are masterpieces. Perfectly perfect of the books, with some obvious differences (Triss and Yenn and others...) Video games have been a kind of WHAT IF since the end of the books. The TV series tells badly the first stories of the 90th, from the second season it starts with novels, sort of GOT (but with The Witcher). I hope it gets better, because it was a mediocre show. :)
@@MikkiManson13 old comment but Sapkowski is the same guy who said he would sell Geralt off for a toothpaste commercial as long as he got paid. He’s also said he doesn’t care what people do with his universe as long as no one fucks with his books. He got paid and said either positive things about the show or at worst, indifference. On interview he also said he was involved very little in the production. Wish the battle turned out better visually, but maybe a lot of the budget went to Henry? Who knows
This battle was so bad, if u didn't read books u know how series runner did fuck up whole witcher just due to her own changing of lore. They had much more money for episodes than Got and still did worst and cheapest battle ever, changing everything from source.
Yennefers facial expression as she torched the hill drew me in . Quite the performance.
"Let you chaos explode..."
I love you, Rectoress!
Hopefully there’ll be a bigger budget next season so we can get some big army battles.
They had a bigger Budget than Game of Thrones in most seasons. They just don't have the right people helming the show.
Witcher ~ 10 Million per Episode
GoT Season 2 ~ 6 Million per Episode
GoT Season 6 ~ 10 Million per Episode
GoT Season 8 ~ 15 Million per Episode
And individual duels like Geralt and Renfri.
I'm so confused by this comment..
Battle of cintra hello?
@@oliverwatson8241 Wasn't so much a battle just a massacre
In the next two season there no be war, so for battles we must wait to 4 season
a live action magical warfare extravaganza!!! i have never seen something like this done so well.
The music. It's Batfleck music. IT'S BATFLECK MUSIC. THIS FITS SO WELL
This just sent waves of shivers down my spine. Very well done!!

Listen Yen makes The Witcher tick period, trust me you won't change my mind....
I felt like I was watching a Fire emblem battle and Yennefer was the tactician. I love this so much
The books made sodden hill sound a lot more brutal but this was a pretty brilliant way showing of how powerful Wizards are and how brutal Nilfgaard is!
This is some amazing editing. I am so here for this.
lytta neyd, she change a nilfguardian soldier into figurine in this battle
Δespite it's many, many flaws, the series had some good moments..
Beautifully made, Maria, well done! I adore Hans Zimmer!
Λαυρέντιος Ψαροκάηκας agree with you, thank you very much 💚
Yet the showrunners and writers still managed to fuck this up.
wow all the archer are legendary level.
This is what we sing up for. This is what they do
Awesome show. Can't wait for the next season!
I think if she let out her real chaos everyone would have burned even Tasea
The book is much different xD, but this is really cool to
2:57 the fourteenth one!
No, thats Indian tourist who was near the battle.
They didnt show many scenes in the series, like Coralls arm being hacked of
if only mah boy roche was there
Roach dies in season 2
@@schafer7403 no shit, geralt changed like 5-6 horses in his adventures, at a moment he pointed out he just likes to call them Roach
@@schafer7403 and i was reffering to Roche, as in Vernon Roche, “Temeria’s last hope” aka a mean son of a bitch
Okay, you’re clearly an expert. I just really liked Roach from season 2. Geralt has clearly been playing to much COD4 with the other Witcher’s
it all happened so soddenly.
I feel like yennefer tapping in to vilgefortz mind only distracted him during the fight, it’s not like yennefer knows a damn thing about sword fighting, she’s not helping him she’s just nagging in his ear, can you imagine how annoying it would be to be fighting for your life with swords with some bitch screaming in your ear 😂 Yennefer : “VILGEFORTZ!” Vilgefortz : “Oh I’m sorry, do you want the sword?

Torches 20,000 odd troops yet her Gwent card is only a 7 😤

Well, tbh they are mages afterall , they can be smart , powerful but when it comes to war tactics i think thats the best they can do
@Yokai369 that's sexes and rude plus she won and the male commander lost. So I'll go with the winner THE WOMAN COMMANDER
@@genesisgen3sis497 this has nothing to do with females smh they're mages not soldiers that's why

I wish there was a war of magic going on.. :(
Music was too loud, makes the whole clip felt like it's just a trailer.
Burn baby burn. Disco inferno.
The dragon of sodden hill
how is it that mages died making a single fireball but hunchback made a 100 yard flame thrower? lol
maybe because she has elf blood?
this is why tissaia's facial expression is shock/pride/fear for yen - fire magic is forbidden because in most cases, it consumes the user (as we saw happen to 2 nilfgaardian mages). yen not only conjured fire, she controlled it and protected tissaia + lived to tell the tale. that single moment made her one of the most powerful mages in the witcher universe, next to stregobor.
After I have seen Sodden I guess battle of Brenna will be 10 soilders on both sides fighting with chairs
Wasted potencial
Nilfgaardian armour sucks so bad
they fixed it for season 2
Incredible!
Elle Jakobson wow, thank you^_^
@@armaria0992 I like this battle so I'm glad that you did a vid on this :)

EPIC🔥
What happen to the eels? Are they still alive?.
Soo good
Wowwwww 🦋🦋🌹

ارجوا تكمله ذاء وتش كامل
This is my favorite show of all time with Game Of Thrones and Castlevania close second
This Show is so cheap. And THIS scene is the perfect Example. Those 20 jogging-suit nilfgaardians "marching" 🤡🤡🤡🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
the music is too high!!! WTF we can’t hear what they’re saying
Как фильм называется ?
Сериал «Ведьмак» от Нетфликс
the scene where Triss grows a bunch of roses or whatever to cover the entrence is so lame it dissapoints me everytime I see it
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Did they just use white phosphorus on nilfgarrd 😂 war crimes galore
🦇🌓🐺
Wow... the scale in this battle was pathetic lol
One of the biggest wrong battle in cinema history.
When I read it in the book, I was expecting something much more epic.
What a mess.
I mean it's epic lol, but yeah still kinda hope it was much better for finale

second biggest battle in witcher universe..my ass :/ sory for my englisch
Y'all really going to steal BVS music?
God, what Netflix did to this battle there should have been a bloody mess, burn in hell
and Triss and yennefer are terrible phew
Fanzero 12 agree with you, especially about Triss, but I think Yen was good for miscast show about the Witcher, her eyes are very beautiful for me )
oh boo hoo. sapkowski is a part of the team making the show and said he likes it, maybe you should chill
Nobody is asking you to watch it..
In second book the war isnt explained. I think they made up tthe fight from their minds

Honestly they were soooo unprepared and handled it sooooo wrong ... they needed a man in charge 🤣
Vilgefortz, a man, WAS in charge and Yennefer, a woman, managed to win it for them anyway.
Bla bla bla

If you can find a way to pay for 100,000 extras without blowing way over-budget, email the showrunner.
Wow this battle sucked.
