All the time in the last years, when ever a streaming platform or a TV station is claiming to adapt a sucessful comic or book series in the comment section here and on other platforms there is a war between the lovers of the source material and those who don't know it and just want to have fun.
That happend to The Preacher, The Boys, Shadow & Bones, Y-the last man and now to the witcher.
I understand, that the viewers who don't know the source don't care about the complaints of those who love the source. But I don't understand while a lot of them don't care for plotholes and inconsistencies?
And I'm angry that every time the producers and showrunners claim, that they would make a faithful und truthful adaptation of the source material und every time with exception of the Lord of the Rings, Sin City or the first seasons of GoT they lied about this. Every time nearly nothing ramains of the source material. All the authors und producers think they could it make better then the prooven sucessful original authors... And no, you can't!
It is a no brainer, that an adaptation can almost never be a 1:1 thing. There are money and time restrictions and we have different media. But in the end all that remains are names, a few events and that's it, the rest is "new".
Who ever read the books of the witcher can't be staisfied with the first two seasons of the TV show. It would be much shorter to have a list of those things which are like in the books as those which aren't. They changed the whole plot and major things of the worldbuilding. I love Cahils Witcher, but that is it mainly. I tried my very best to keep an open mind and tried to watch it, as if I haven't read the books, but my disapointment is too big and the new plotlines have too many holes IMHO.
And you, viewer, who didn't read the books, please acknowledge that you could have fun with the show, even if the lovers of the books are disapointed. There is no need for a war...
