He is definitely more likely to die fighting. And just because Calanthe was a warrior queen doesn't mean all her subjects suddenly threw all views about gender norms overboard. So the reason is probably open for interpretation and we will never know for sure. But that's just my opinion

    Game of Thrones was very much about the politics of the world, which is why it focussed heavily on high-borns and the intrigue there.
    Whilst The Witcher books, whilst have that also, are predominately philosophical in its storytelling. ‘The Lesser Evil’ being a perfect jumping off point to understand that.
    The death of Renfri is more of a cautionary tale, than a huge emotional loss.

    In the books the Refri story gets fleshed out a little more. Her mutantness was "confirmed" by her stepmother after consulting with a magic mirror. She is sent to the woods with a huntsman who is ordered to cut out her heart and bring it back to stepmom. She escapes and eventually ends up living with a band of gnomes. Later Stregobor puts her under a curse that turns her into crystal and buries her. The curse is broken by a (probably handsome) prince. So yeah, basically Refri is Snow White who fights back and then breaks bad.

    Hello there! I have never watched y’all or any other “reaction” videos before until The Witcher. I have liked the show so much and found that on second view a year later I appreciated it even more, then found myself watching again…. I was bizarrely addicted. I then found I could feed my addiction with material produced by others - reviews and critiques of one kind or another. This led me to find this thing that is reaction videos. I encountered first the Gamma Ray fan reaction series, which was a blast. Then I realized that was a compilation of coverage from individual reactors. After taking in a few others, which were fluffy and bored me, I found yours. I have gotten the most out of your analysis with this piece on episode 1 and I will be continuing with you in the next episodes as I do my last round on season 1 before season 2 drops. Your fresh approach is more than the others a literary analysis with multiple analytical objectives. You focus on the intent, construction and impact on the audience of the piece of art, on own terms, as an original work, with a historical perspective and with loving appreciation of the material. I doubted such a thing existed, frankly, after seeing so many fluffy “reactions”. Thanks for doing this. It’s worthwhile. Nice job.

    Hey guys, great reaction. I'm new to your channel and will definitely follow your reactions to season 1 (and season 2!). I like your post-view analysis and the way you think things through. The Witcher is a very grey world, bitter sweet, which challenges you with difficult choices, with more of a focus on philosophical intrigue rather than political like GoT. The budget for Season 1 wasn't as great as it's going to be for season 2 (once Netflix knew they have a banger and have invested).
    You will very much look back on this episode in a different light towards the end of the season!
    It's very much a 'set up' season, which focuses mainly on the first book of short stories. Try and pay attention, as season 1 was confusing in one particular way for a lot of viewers ;)

    When you guys get to Episode 6 check out the lyrics for the song in the credits "Her Sweet Kiss". So many people overlook it, but the context of the song and actual lyrics speak volumes about a certain Bard you'll soon meet and his relationship with Geralt.

    Okay so imma keep this spoiler free
    yall need to know that there are 3 SEPERATE concurrent timelines in this show which wittle down to 2 then 1 and they do not make it obvious at all. Episode 2's main character's plot is set earliest in the timeline, the stuff with Geralt is slightly ahead of that with the Ciri and kingdom of Cintra raid stuff being the present real time events.
    Keep that in mind otherwise you'll end up extremely confused with certain stuff. Definitely works better as a show on subsequent viewings.

We thought we missed major chunks of what happened and I even mistook a character for being someone else but with more makeup on. And I've played witcher 2 and 3 so I was used to weird timelines and was familiar with the characters and their stories to a certain degree.
