    After the fallout with him and Netflix, I’m glad to see that he’s able to flex his nerd knowledge again.

        He left the Witcher franchise for similar reasons - they couldn’t keep to canon.

          While he was a walking encyclopedia of Witcher lore, wanting to give fans the best representation/adaption of the source material that could be made.

          Not only couldn’t they keep to cannon, they butchered it horribly. The Witcher is set in a world of rich lore and history, almost none of which is explored or explained in that shitful show. The first season is basically the first book put in a blender and strained through a sieve, and the second season, as far as I can tell, is a load of crap. I gave up after that.

            I haven’t read any of the books and barely played the games, so I don’t know much about the world. I did enjoy the first season, less so the second, and didn’t make it far into season 3

              Season 4 is really fun to watch either as a drinking game or as a target for shit-talking with whoever is on the couch with you. I don’t remember any of the plot, which is probably for the best.

          Didn’t the writers just ignore the source material and thought they could write better? Which made them effectively write fan fiction. And even by those standards, bad fan fiction.

          He was perfect for the role too. If they stuck to the story, it would have been an amazing series.

        He’s a passionate nerd with a deep love for his people, and he fought the corpos on the canon he knew better than they did.
