The Jackapace in this show is "monster" depiction of what a very small pill bug (in the real world) would look like. In the Witcher lore though the Jackapace is more creepy.
Rewatching some of these reactions, but is Yennefer’s letter at the end of the last episode a response the Geralt’s at the end of this? I forget if they addressed each other in between, if it was unrelated, or more thematic.
@@AL-fl4jk This show is an embarrasment for the fans and an insult to the books. It's nothing more than a bad fanfiction and it spits on the (FAR superior) originals that it's supposed to adapt.
@@zamaskowany12 but this is not the problem of season 3. This season is the closest to the books and episode 5 almost literally repeats the book. So what's your problem with this season?
People are just salty that Henry Cavill is leaving, he's not even the best part of the show lmao. This season is the best season yet and the most book accurate.
Sorry for the long comment thank you for reacting❤ ❤. I haven’t read the books only watched the series and I love it. I liked this season more than season 2 because of what they did to Yennefer character in season 2 I didn’t like it, it would be cool if they made the series exactly like the books so I would be able to see it but I am happy with what they gave us. I am fine with the story since it is fictional not like another series that I watch because it is real history and the first two season where right then they introduced a character that is arrogant, mean, disrespect old and young people, yell at people for no reason and untrustworthy then the director gave this character more importance and more screen time than the main character when the real history is about the main character I was mad but didn’t disrespect people who like that character while for "the Witcher" some people who read the books only because I enjoyed the series they disrespected me like I have a right to comment and enjoy things everyone has an opinion.
Professor, the infamous assassin (in book at least): "'Ralf Blunden, known as 'Professor'. Heimo Kantor. 'Short' Yaxa. Do any of those names ring a bell?' 'No, they don't.' 'They're all good with swords. Better than the Michelets. I advise a better weapon. Like the Nilfgaardian stars. I could sell you a few. I have lots of them.' " Ruins of Shaerrawedd and Belleteyn celebrations, interesting they decided to combine these things. "He chose to follow the path farthest from the light, from the glow of fires, to hide in the areas of swaying shadow. It wasn't easy: all around were burning pyres of pine, dotting the sky with the red light of torches, adding their banners of smoke to the darkness, crackling and flaring with light between the dancing silhouettes. Geralt stopped to allow the passage of the procession - mad, screaming, savage - that approached him and blocked any escape. Someone seized his shoulder and tried to give him a small cup filled with foam. He refused politely, but firmly pushed away the staggering man who carried a barrel of watered beer around to the people. He did not drink. Not tonight. Not far away, on a stage built from the trunks of birch trees that overlooked the huge bonfire, the fair-haired King of May, wearing a crown of flowers and branches, kissed the Queen of May; he caressed her breasts through her thin, sweat-drenched tunic. The monarch, very drunk, staggered and could not keep his balance without holding onto the queen, holding a nice mug of beer in the fist at his back. The queen was not sober either. Encircled by a wreath of flowers that was falling over her eyes, she clung to the neck of the king and kicked up her legs. The crowd danced on the stage, singing, shouting, and waving branches twined with flowers and vines. “Belleteyn!” a girl cried into Geralt's ear. Tugging at his sleeve, she forced him to join the procession that surrounded him. She danced beside him: her robe and the flowers in her hair fluttered in the breeze. He allowed her to draw him into the dance. He whirled deftly, allowing the other couples to pass. “Belleteyn! It's the night of May!” Next to them, a scuffle broke out, the cries and nervous laughter of a girl struggling against a boy who carried her off into the dark, outside the circle of light. The procession, shouting, followed a path between the burning fires. Sometimes, someone stumbled, falling and breaking the chain of linked arms that then branched out into small groups." But the scene at the ruins of Shaerrawedd shame that they have not adapted it alredy in season 2 as they were supposed to hehe. "“What is it?” she sighed. “Shaerrawedd.” In front of them, as far as the woods allowed them to see, rose smoothly hewn blocks of granite and marble with blunt corners, worn away by the winds, decorated with patterns long leached out by the rains, cracked and shattered by frost, split by tree roots. Amongst the trunks broken columns flashed white, arcades, the remains of ornamental friezes entwined with ivy, and wrapped in a thick layer of green moss. “This was... a castle?” “A palace. The elves didn’t build castles. Dismount, the horses won’t manage in the rubble.” “Who destroyed it all? Humans?” “No, they did. Before they left.” “Why?” “They knew they wouldn’t be coming back. It happened following their second clash with the humans, more than two hundred years ago. Before that, they used to leave towns untouched when they retreated. Humans used to build on the foundations left by the elves. That’s how Novigrad, Oxenfurt, Wyzima, Tretogor, Maribor and Cidaris were built. And Cintra.” “Cintra?” He confirmed it with a nod of the head, not taking his eyes off the mins. “They left,” whispered Ciri, “but now they’re coming back. Why?” It;s a shame though that the Blood of Elves sequence wasn't properly adapted! It added so much depth into character of Yarpen Zigrin! "“I know. And it’s dangerous. I only just managed to jump aside when you threw out the suds from the bucket. Come on, let’s go and see how many trout have jumped into Regan’s breeches.” “Yarpen?” “Huh?” “I like you.” “And I like you, kid.” “But you’re a dwarf. And I’m not.” “And what diff- Ah, the Scoia’tael. You’re thinking about the Squirrels, aren’t you? It’s not giving you any peace, is it?” Ciri freed herself from his heavy arm. “Nor you,” she said. “Nor any of the others. I can plainly see that.” The dwarf said nothing. “Yarpen?” “Yes?” “Who’s right? The Squirrels or you? Geralt wants to be... neutral. You serve King Henselt even though you’re a dwarf. And the knight in the fort shouted that everybody’s our enemy and that everyone’s got to be... Everyone. Even the children. Why, Yarpen? Who’s right?” “I don’t know,” said the dwarf with some effort. “I’m not omniscient. I’m doing what I think right. The Squirrels have taken up their weapons and gone into the woods. ‘Humans to the sea,’ they’re shouting, not realising that their catchy slogan was fed them by Nilfgaardian emissaries. Not understanding that the slogan is not aimed at them but plainly at humans, that it’s meant to ignite human hatred, not fire young elves to battle. I understood - that’s why I consider the Scoia’tael’s actions criminally stupid. What to do? Maybe in a few years time I’ll be called a traitor who sold out and they’ll be heroes... Our history, the history of our world, has seen events turn out like that.” He fell silent, ruffled his beard. Ciri also remained silent. “Elirena...” he muttered suddenly. “If Elirena was a hero, if what she did is heroism, then that’s just too bad. Let them call me a traitor and a coward. Because I, Yarpen Zigrin, coward, traitor and renegade, state that we should not kill each other. I state that we ought to live. Live in such a way that we don’t, later, have to ask anyone for forgiveness. The heroic Elirena... She had to ask. Forgive me, she begged, forgive me. To hell with that! It’s better to die than to live in the knowledge that you’ve done something that needs forgiveness.” Again he fell quiet. Ciri did not ask the questions pressing to her lips. She instinctively felt she should not. “We have to live next to each other,” Yarpen continued. “We and you, humans. Because we simply don’t have any other option. We’ve known this for two hundred years and we’ve been working towards it for over a hundred. You want to know why I entered King Henselt’s service, why I made such a decision? I can’t allow all that work to go to waste. For over a hundred years we’ve been trying to come to terms with the humans. The halflings, gnomes, us, even the elves - I’m not talking about rusalkas, nymphs and sylphs, they’ve always been savages, even when you weren’t here. Damn it all, it took a hundred years but, somehow or other, we managed to live a common life, next to each other, together. We managed to partially convince humans that we’re not so very different-” “We’re not different at all, Yarpen.” The dwarf turned abruptly. “We’re not different at all,” repeated Ciri. “After all, you think and feel like Geralt. And like... like I do. We eat the same things, from the same pot. You help Triss and so do I. You had a grandmother and I had a grandmother... My grandmother was killed by the Nilfgaardians. In Cintra.” “And mine by the humans,” the dwarf said with some effort. “In Brugge. During the pogrom.” Witcher, Blood of Elves
I read the books long before the premiere of the series. I'm not one of those people who complain about the series just because the creators decided to introduce their own threads and characters - I'm just annoyed by the lack of logic in many of these threads and unnecessary changes to the original ones. As a fan of the original, I see potential in this version of The Witcher - unfortunately, this potential is hidden somewhere deep. The changes to the plot have already gone too far to straighten them out. Anyway, if someone likes the series, I have no problem with that. It's a pity that Henry left - he really did a great job as Geralt. 17:02 Geralt is in my opinion one of the best fictional swordsmen in the history of pop culture, if not the best.
I don’t think they plan to “straighten them out.” As I see it, they’ve been telling their own story based closely on specific things in the books or capturing certain elements of it when they can. Some people say this season had many “corrections,” but considering some of this stuff was developing in seasons one and two, that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. Of course, then this season was review bombed or whatever so. Shows how much people who hated it “cared about the books.” (Not referring to people who actually care about the books btw and have valid opinions, even if they differ from the showrunners’ obviously.) I think it’s hard for many people to follow the show, but sometimes especially for those who know the books. Because they expect certain things and then when those things don’t happen, have no idea how the show will get from A to B, or if they will ever do B at all. Or why a character is a certain way when they’re really an amalgamation of characters or whatnot. I like how convoluted it is lol. Much more thought provoking than I expected or than most shows frankly, in spite of its occasional cheese. But I didn’t read the books before hand. So I was introduced to this particular world as opposed to the book version and don’t expect it to follow the rules of that world (even though they often do but in a weird way). Idk if that makes sense. I just think it would be hard if not impossible to distinguish the two if you already know the one.

Oh sweet! Thanks for watching this! It’s sad that this is Henry Cavills final season as Geralt
Truly love this season. Adore Yennefer.
Been waiting for you guys to react!!
Madison you look amazing. You're just glowing.
I always enjoyed your reaction to season two, I'm looking forward to this! as for who's puppeting Rience, you'll find out by the end of the season. :)
The Jackapace in this show is "monster" depiction of what a very small pill bug (in the real world) would look like. In the Witcher lore though the Jackapace is more creepy.
Rewatching some of these reactions, but is Yennefer’s letter at the end of the last episode a response the Geralt’s at the end of this? I forget if they addressed each other in between, if it was unrelated, or more thematic.
Such a good episode & the rest of the season is amazing too. Loving Yennefer.
Kkkkkkkkk
🤘😝🤘
I have no idea what people are complaining about, I think this season is FIRE so far
The first part of your comment also answers the question.
