Why the hell was this cut?! Great scene between the characters that relies on zero magic, zero special effects but just great acting and atmosphere…totally brings back early GOT vibes!!
I think they didn't want to show vilgefortz in this season so much. He is a mysterious man. We will sew a lot more about him in season 3 I hope because he is my favourite character ❤
I wonder if that’s where I differ from… a lot of viewers. I don’t think character development requires showing someone’s backstory. Especially since in this case they’re clearly trying to keep it mysterious and secretive. This is a cool scene. But… in movies and tv, “still scenery” are often important because they are visual media. I don’t think that needs to be sacrificed. “Less grunts” This show already has SO much important dialogue. And people complain about it constantly. For some reason not realizing how important it is lol.
Why cut this??? Scenes like this made GoT brilliant. The intriguing is what makes it fascinating. So much better than the action scenes Yennfear escaping and the cliche of not beheading Cahir.
I feel like all these deleted scenes make up a single great episode cut out from the show, and they weren't cut out because they didn't fit the story, but because they couldn't be stuffed into the limited runtime. Time to start hunting them on UA-cam.
8 episodes isnt enough per season. i know thats a little greedy but the best thing about this story and universe is there depth. feel like each character has suffered a little from th e time constraints
Something is wrong with producers. It is literally the best scene in Aretuza. Giving depth to Vilgefortz before we all know what. Great scene shame they cut it
@@Sheogorath- i agree that may be very true. Maybe in 3rd season Lauren is gonna make an appearance and Geralt will ditch Yen for her. Nobody knows, but I would not be surprised
But god why was this cut again? This is such an important scene for both of them... the building of future of Vilgefortz and better explaining Stregobors motives after dismissing Yennefer as a hero. WHY WAS IT CUT!?
In making Yen the hero of Sodden in the show's version of events then scenes like this are needed to help build up Vilgefortz more. Really well done scene that helps set up his character more while sticking with the show's approach to the storytelling. Shame it was cut.
Why in God's name was this cut off?🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Here I was criticizing season 2 for not giving character depth to Vilgefortz and Eskel when this was a really lovely scene. This clearly showed how he was capable of becoming a villain as well as fighting for people with good intentions no matter the perception people may have about him. I can understand the producers being concerned abt giving away much for future seasons but this wasn't revealing at all.
This scene wasn't revealing at all, unlike your stupid comment. Please vent your frustrations WITHOUT leaving spoilers for those who haven't read the book or played the games. You are ruining it for other people.
@@Marvelerence well considering how this show isn't an adaptation and really only takes names and maybe 5% of it's content from the books no one can really spoil anything.
@@wyxxoz3955 Vilgefortz being the main villain is a serious spoiler for those who aren't in the know. They are definitely not going to change the show enough to not make him the main villain
Lauren said they realized it was too early to build Vilgefortz backstory, which in itself is a bit heavy amidst all the other things happening in season 2
I think they removed this to try and keep Vilgefortz in the shadows more this season. But I honestly think it was a bad move, could have had this in there
@VaderxG yeah, the Marco polo role being so similar for this actor is not doing the story many favors. I do think the actor is doing well in the role though.
When will the producers of all great shows learn - its not the CGI or any special effects that make the show great .......Its the strong dialogues, acting and cast that makes the show great....There is a reason why GoT is the greatest show on earth even now
@@ingydegmar2060 How would they do that? They've established that Vilgefortz has about a braincell and a half and isn't a good swordsman. If they make him conjure up 5 swords again and show him going head to head with Geralt in fencing I will actually, no joke, piss myself with laughter.
It isn't that he's detestable, it's the fact that Stregobor clearly isn't useful enough to explain why everyone puts up with his bullshit. He has power and influence because the plot of the show needs him to, not because it makes any sense. They need to show that he has some kind of leverage or is somehow politically useful to someone on else in the brotherhood with real power.
I think we will see more of it season 3. I believe we will see the fall of the brotherhood or something massive that will show just how powerful he actully is, and it may provide an awsome display of his power.
Add me to the chorus of people asking why this was cut. This is a great scene. Vilgefortz is clearly being set up as the villain like he was in the books, yet in order to become something worth watching we need scenes like this. He needs to be clever, menacing, and charismatic so that people mistake his violence for change. Also, why is fire magic outlawed? And can we get rid of using chaos when we’re just talking about magic in general?
May be, because such magick was trademark of one particular elf magic girl from the past, who was kinda famous for cooking humans alive. Chaos is one of the greatest sources of magic in world of Witcher. So...
Wow if there's one thing I wish I had more of from this season, it's "I wish we had even more scenes of politicking and scheming, those parts of the season were so engaging."
I guess they thought Stregabor had way too many scenes in episode 3 already lol 🤣 I really wish this wasnt cut though, since its really an amazing scene 😔
Talking to IGN, The Witcher showrunner and Executive Producer, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, said of the seven season plan, “It would be a straight translation of the books… I think there's just so much material that I don't feel the need to start inventing my own to keep it going.” BIG KAPPA, LMAO So they decided to change the personality of the characters to the worse, removed some good scenes from the book, spoiled the Emhyr's capacity as a father of Ciri 5 season earlier than it should, made Vesemir a guy far from what is in the books, Eskel a drunken looser, Yennefer instead of a teacher and then a "mother" to Ciri, as a woman who would give anything to take back her magic back with teenage attitude, Triss the woman that instead of a big sister is something like an aunt, Kahir is faithful to Emhyr instead of a blackmailed follower that wants to see free his imprisoned dad etc. If you are not going to follow the books just make it clear from the beginning, dont make false statements in order to hype the fans. Follow the books or at least do it in a 50% ffs.
Wanna know the best/worst part? Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said that Vesemir was her favourite character because he was a fatherly figure to the cast. If that's the case, why on Earth would he risk a he put Ciri, whose blood in the show can somehow recreate the witcher's mutagene, by putting her through the Trial of the Grasses that has a 100% chance of killing girls?! Hell, it would have been immensely stupid even if Ciri was a boy and had 70% chance of dying. Like seriously Vesemir, wtf?!?!
Good scene, shame they cut it. Having Vilgefortz early in the show was a solid idea, as it offered them more ways to characterize him before the big stuff later but they cut this :(
They have consistently said that they are NOT trying to be the next GOT. The Witcher undeniably has its similarities but they are different nonetheless. The Witcher is more campy and high fantasy. It also blurs the line between good and evil much more. P.S. The Witcher came before ASOIAF
it's NOT trying to become the next game of thrones, that's the point. frankly I'm tired of hearing about game of thrones. no more GoT or GoT clones, for the love of god
@@hcburner How does it matter if The Witcher books came before the ASOIAF books? GOT season 1-4 follows it's source material a lot while taking smaller liberties and cutting out some parts to make it more fitting for a show. The Netflix Witcher series share barely anything with the books. Also, when you say that it blurs the line between good and evil more, are you referring to the Witcher? Because that's only really true because we know absoulutely nothing about most characters in the TV series. Even with that I think that most GOT characters can't be divided to good and evil. It also better portays this nuance way better. When in it's early stages it had already done so much more than The Witcher TV series has.
Audience react Thrawn returns in the Mandalorian and he want Revenge against Ezra Bridger and friends Thrawn: Remember me, Ezra? When i killed your parents and your master i talked just LIKED THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!
I can see why it was cut. It was an exposition dump that makes no sense for the characters to do. Stregobor shows up to insult him repeatedly only to try and persuade him of Yennifer being a risk? For being a senior member of a group known for their politics, he's quite a moron.
Amusing. Book-Vilgefortz could probably wipe the floor with ten mages like Stregobor. Maybe, eventually, in the series we will see this Vilgefortz one day.
They have to justify his leverage on the council next season. Because clearly every character hates him, and i dont see how he holds all that power, unless he is a threat.
They will make him embarrass Geralt to be defeated easily by Yennefer afterwards, although he lost in s1 against Cahir somehow. Netflix and woke BS like making Yen be the hero of the battle of Sodden Hill instead of him.
An important bit of storytelling deleted. Perhaps 45 seconds of "scenery", 15 seconds of "meaningful glances", and a few seconds shaved off this scene could have saved this insightful conversation from the cutting room floor?
@@puma12345ace Unfortunately it seems like diving deeper into Vilgefortz is a lot more interesting than the stuff that made it into the show, not quite sure why they decided to put so much fillers into the season instead of getting to the point with Vilgefortz.
Why you delete that? Important scene for the future plot with Vilgefortz (especially him) and now Stregobor... (P.S. in the books Stegobor didn't play that much role in the plot)
It's an interesting scene and they released it for a reason. I can also understand their slow-burn approach to Vilgefortz. He will have his moments later, for sure.
Vilg is not important in the show..it is clear that he wont have anything to do with his book version. I also dont understand the other commenter who mentioned slow burn and that he will have his moment later and stuff...I mean..why do people assume that? Vilg in the show is a nobody. He was replaced by Yen and Fringilla and only appears whenever they remember him, as a minor plot device.
@@10bayekofsiwa15 It doesnt matter if he is a traitor because we dont care or root for the character and he is not important in the show..bruh. If he was dropped in season 3 entirely, no one would notice.
Am I the only one who laughed when Vilgefortz screamed at Tissaia? Don't get me wrong, acting was great. But it was so shocking I couldn't help but laugh
Nah I was shocked too it was so ridiculous like out of nowhere. If this scene had been shown before that one, however... It would've been so much smoother
Probably the scene was cut as part of a larger trimming I'm assuming happened because of Henry's accident. The entire second season was wacky. If first season gave a sense of progression the second one was like GoT 6-8, with characters teleporting right and left. Another example, after Gerald, Yennefer, Jaskier and the dwarfs meet, only Gerald and Yennefer are show walking into Kaer Morhen, Jaskier noticeable missing from that scene and everything that follows until Ciri wakes him like he's always been around. Witcher s1 was GoT s1-5. S2 is GoT s6-8.
Yes let's cut all meaningful character interactions and make up entire story-arcs that ruin beloved protagonists just so that we can have more action sequences. Because surely the Witcher is all about action right. Why else would there be all the swords. The one episode, with Nivellen, where they actually adapted the original material instead of the producer making up BS was a master-piece. But no we couldn't have meaningful character development between Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer. No, we needed cheap action sequences for the sake of having them.
Like the other comments before mine, why was this cut ? The only proof of vilgerfort's dark side is that miniscule scene from S01, this scene further highlights how the character came to be and what would be his drive.
Wow. You cut an important seed-planting scene with the main antagonist of the whole series, for...what? Fourth-wall-breaker Jaskier stuff and PS2 boss fights. Great.
They don't want to show too much of Vilgefortz just yet. They already showed plenty in S1 finale. Keep the audience guessing. They did however release this scene for a reason.
If they are so surprised that Yennefer wasn't destroyed by using fire magic, then how Rience is able to use it all the time without any issue and literally no one is surprised when witnessing it? It seems they have introduced a big logical inconsistency here when they decided to massively change how the magic works. Not to mention that a lot of magic in this season happens without any cost - repeatedly violating the rule they introduced in the last season (yet another thing not from the books).
I was thinking of Geralt and the Witchers being able to use Igni, their signs being small generations of chaos. But, yeah, Rience is the clear contradiction of this quite stupid rule
showing this as a deleted scene is such a waste. either put it in the actual show or not at all. since it's on a streaming service i'm sure adding a few more minutes of run time won't be an issue.
I find it funny that the dude who plays Reinace is much more book accurate look vilgefortz and The actress who plays Sabrina is book accurate look yennefer LMAO
Vilgefortz is employing Rience and Lydia who attacked Jaskier, Vesesmir, Triss, Yennefer, Ciri and Geralt, Jaskier is working for Dijkstra, the north and brotherhood want to kill Ciri, Tissaia put a bounty on her and all who protect her, including Yennefer and Triss, Vilgefortz is also working with Emyhr, this is getting so good

The one episode, with Nivellen, where they actually adapted the original material instead of the producer making up BS was a master-piece. But no we couldn't have meaningful character development between Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer. No, we needed cheap action sequences for the sake of having them.
Like the other comments before mine, why was this cut ? The only proof of vilgerfort's dark side is that miniscule scene from S01, this scene further highlights how the character came to be and what would be his drive.
Man I swear stregobor and Sigismund Dijkstra are gonna be underused,while they provide great scenes
I'm so getting the book series.
Why this is cut......
this would be one of best scenes of otherwise catastrophic season 2 lol
Wow. You cut an important seed-planting scene with the main antagonist of the whole series, for...what? Fourth-wall-breaker Jaskier stuff and PS2 boss fights. Great.
They don't want to show too much of Vilgefortz just yet. They already showed plenty in S1 finale. Keep the audience guessing. They did however release this scene for a reason.
Did I just get spoiled? xD
@@Lexyvil Hahahaha I feel you bro!
Of course it was deleted - the phrase, "Some are more equal than others", really sticks in the craw of the Elites (for 'reasons without masks').
@@hariseldon3786 You are a shame to that user name.
Why they delete this great scene?????

Stregobor looks like a ronin
true
omg you're right
schizo moment
Please put this in the next season at the very least even if it is a bit late in timeline
they made vilgefortz look like he came out of mulan movie with attire and hair style
Why cut something like this if you plan to actually somewhat follow the source material? This was a great scene
I dont understand why they cut scenes like this. They are awesome actors.
Why is this cut off?

What a shame it is for the dislike counter to not keep track anymore.
Ahmad from marco polo series.
Good scene, not sure why they felt the need to cut it.
Add a second season creature video to the creature encyclopedia
Vilgefortz actor was great in Marco Polo (Netflix).
Why did they cut this scene? Imo this scene explains why Vilgefortz killed his friend/man in the S1 finale. Because he has anger/rage issues.
Why do I hear Ramsay Bolton in the first 30 seconds?!
If they are so surprised that Yennefer wasn't destroyed by using fire magic, then how Rience is able to use it all the time without any issue and literally no one is surprised when witnessing it? It seems they have introduced a big logical inconsistency here when they decided to massively change how the magic works. Not to mention that a lot of magic in this season happens without any cost - repeatedly violating the rule they introduced in the last season (yet another thing not from the books).
I was thinking of Geralt and the Witchers being able to use Igni, their signs being small generations of chaos. But, yeah, Rience is the clear contradiction of this quite stupid rule
showing this as a deleted scene is such a waste. either put it in the actual show or not at all. since it's on a streaming service i'm sure adding a few more minutes of run time won't be an issue.
I prefer this over cheap and overused curses.
obviously they realize their mistake in cutting this scene (hence why it's been released)
This should've been left in the show. For those of us that know whag vilgefortz is up to....he really should've gotten more screen time this season
I like the casting choices here but not what they did with those characters.
Can't wait when Vilgefortz becomes really overpowered and starts hitting like a truck
Good casting for Vilgefortz, ngl
however the writing is not so good
I actually started to like this character , but i have no idea why they call him Vilgefortz
Why is it so damn dark
They cut it because they want audience to keep guessing vilgefort is bad guy or good guy
Why is this deleted?
they needed to add more scenes like this and less monolith garbage and stone monsters flying around
I find it funny that the dude who plays Reinace is much more book accurate look vilgefortz and The actress who plays Sabrina is book accurate look yennefer LMAO
Its fun to read the arguments on the replies above
What a pity.... Deleted scene...
Vilgefortz is employing Rience and Lydia who attacked Jaskier, Vesesmir, Triss, Yennefer, Ciri and Geralt, Jaskier is working for Dijkstra, the north and brotherhood want to kill Ciri, Tissaia put a bounty on her and all who protect her, including Yennefer and Triss, Vilgefortz is also working with Emyhr, this is getting so good
no wonder season 2 is all over the place... too many good scenes being omitted. sad
Ohhh so that's who he was talking to..🤐
Something that makes Stregobor something else than dum bad guy? Cut that
How the Witchers screwed the pooch which led to their destruction. The mages are making the same mistake and will lead themselves into destruction.
They do this is other shows I watch, delete important information that would be better IN the episode. -_-
Oh great another scene where two people talk and nothing happens
Assume it was cut because it makes no sense.
Of course it was deleted - the phrase, "Some are more equal than others", really sticks in the craw of the Elites (for 'reasons without masks').
Is Vilgefortz an elf?
Thats not Vilgefortz.
this scene just shows how incompetent the showrunners are
Netflix, opowiedzieć ci fraszkę?
Season 2 is weak. But we made Geralts risotto !
Season two wasn't weak.
@@LNER985 was veeery weak :)
@@LNER985 You're right, it was even worse
@@hubson1443 No season two was good.
@@LNER985 mate, no, it wasn't. Im pretty sure I explained to you in another comment thread (under this video too) on why the writing this season was terrible.
Lars have to stop talking bcs why is his voice so sexy ???
I thought I read somewhere that they were going to include this in season 3? Apparently not.
This scene is much, much better then whole joke of a season 2…
This season still felt low budget in terms of acting , camera work and dialogue. On the other hand the CGI was great.
So good.
Sadly this season has Game of Thrones season 8 vibes.
No, it doesn't.
@@LNER985 That wasn't a question.
