Tbf though if they closely followed the books, Ciri and Geralt wouldn’t ever be in the same room, as the whole series she’s running and he never catches up with her. I understand why they needed to change the material to fit a tv narrative, but I don’t know why they changed so many things they didn’t need to. Season 1 was great, but 2 went off the rails.
Respecting the source material doesn’t mean making a 1 to 1 copy tho
Love him for giving a shit. Going off source was GoT’s downfall
There was no source material for the last few seasons
A cardinal sin in Hollywood.
Well… He did more than that…
He also would join up with one of the male writers (who eventually got fired for sexual harassment stuff) specifically to team up against the female writers.
He was also extremely disrespectful of all of the female members of the crew. It got so bad he was fired from the Witcher AND the DCU movies.
Like yes… He cared a lot about the source material and so he fought for it… But the only people he fought were women and the only people he became friends with were sexually harassing women.
Edit: I’d seen this all multiple places before but doing a quick search here is a source on the most recent round of Netflix and superman stuff
Personally I think a lot of this is overblown. Specifically the not wanting shirtless scenes and stuff is a personal thing that’s up to the comfort of the actor. The bits I don’t like are harassing women and his previous comments about the MeToo movement which make me far more likely to believe the current accusations against him.
Edit 2:
I’ve seen some accusations, which other (also female) members of cast/crew pretty much disprove. So I will echo others - source?

Hmmmm you got some primary sources for those claims? Not saying you are wrong. It’s just the first time I’ve heard this.

I had a brief look around and these accusations seem to originally come up in a leaked script for an episode of the Duexmoi gossip podcast. Some of the responses to the accusations can be found in this Vulture article, but there’s not a lot in it. As they state, “everybody involved in The Witcher is […] playing nice on the record.” So… *shrug*. Very disappointing if true, but no one’s confirming anything…
He’s missing the “controversy” section on his Wikipedia. Which is my litmus test of how big are your red flags
Huh? So a lack of mention of controversy with sources to back it up is a red flag to you? Weird.
No, you’re reading that backwards somehow. A lack of controversy section shows that there are no good sources and the red flags are not that big.
You’re right, apologies.
