Re: Adaptations that annoy you...

Netflix’s The Witcher. I wouldn’t have cared at all (I was practically against a live action adaptation) except the nonstop promotional bullshit that they were following the books. Everything about it was so bad and some of the casting was extremely racist. But during season 1, anyone who said anything bad about it was called a racist because of the actor who plays Yennifer. Her race is unimportant in terms of the character but her acting sure as fuck matters and she’s terrible. She also isn’t pretty enough (or have the charisma necessary to make up for it) or commanding enough to be believable. And then there’s Dandelion which is just…how the fuck do you model a show on time skips and then forget to age your human character? And the choice to style him the way they did…ugh. Threw me right out any time I tried to watch. The showrunner truly sucks in every way. But saying that just makes the show fandom scream about misogyny. Like, hello? Women showrunners who suck aren’t immune to being called out about just because they’re women.

At least I’ve had the joy of watching everything about that show crash and burn. And I’m happy the show fans have left the main fandom and carved out their own niche. We like what we like, I have no problem with that. But man it got annoying for a couple years there with show fans trying to impose spoiler warnings or posting content about the show but not tagging it as the show and instead making it look like it was about The Witcher, not Netflix’s The Witcher. And I’m happy that it was so bad that it’s already legendary for it.
