Review of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021) by Berik — 24 Aug 2021

There's a fine line between extending the story, and writing straight up fan fiction. This is fan fiction on steroids.

Black kaedwin nobles? Amputee Witchers? Mages collaborating with mutant elves!? Monsters just flying into portals without looking back!? Gay Witchers!?? Did no one at any point think it might have been a good idea to just smack Lauren Schmidt Hissrich on the head, and tell her that no one likes her feminist, "all inclusive" garbage injections in the story? If you forget that the main goal of a movie is to entertain, but priortize some juvenile all inclusive political view, you have lost sight. I read somewhere that she has signed some deal with Netflix to do other shows, so maybe after season 2 some dude comes in and realizes how retarded the casting for The Witcher has been so far. Stop blackwashing characters, and stop breaking the lore. It is not making your show better, and this movie isn't more diverse rather than just a travesty in terms of character portrayal.

Now back to the movie. The movie is actually pretty darn entertaining until the final act. Witchers are getting arrogant, and one takes this to new extremes. Vesemir is a cocky Schwarzenegger, and gets a taste of his own medicine. And then there's a made up love interest, and some **** sorceress who, instead of working out her issues, blames all the Witchers for the acts of one bad apple in the most childish and irrational way you can think of.

Entertaining, but come on. This is rather a parody than Canon with the books or The Witcher show. They even managed to **** up the appearance of Gerald of Rivia. Bald...??? Did they even read the books or is this just stabbing at non existing masoginy by the creator? 6/10.
