It was only five years ago five years ago The Witcher Was the hottest series on Netflix and was ready to become the next big fantasy franchise on the back of Henry Cavill’s appearance as a Geralt of Rivia. Cavill has been going since then and the fans followed when it became clear that the series made its own thing and that none of the hit polish books or even the massively successful game would adapt. The Witcher 3. Therefore when The Witcher: Siren of the depthThe latest animated entry in the franchise was published, the fans knew that they shouldn’t have any hopes, and even with the reduced expectations, he managed to disappoint the fans of the series, the fans of the games and in particular the fans of the novels.
Sirens of the deep butchers the original history
The Witcher: Sirens of depth Allegedly adapt the short story A little victimAn urgently beautiful story of love, both between a king and between a mermaid and between the bard Essi and Geralt. In history, Geralt has to translate between King Aglaval and the mermaid Sh’Eenaz because neither wants to give up their lives in order to be with the other, but they cannot help but long for someone else. In the meantime, Essi quickly falls in love with Geralt, but she is not Yennifer, and so the witcher does not replace her feelings.
Everything ends when Sh’Eenaz sees the little victim of the title again. The story ends with the fact that dandelion composes a new song about a Witcher and a bard that he sings only once, and unknowingly into a werewolf near the camp that hears the song and is enchanted and decides not to attack this night . None of this is a spoiler for The Witcher: Siren of the depthThat takes the poetic fairy tale and focuses on the wrong parts, while the tragic story of Essi fully sprays.
Netflix destroyed all the best about the Witcher
The Witcher: Siren of the depth is another memory that Netflix cannot trust the franchise, but turns tragic history into a generic way Anime To include entire battles about a war between the country and the sea. The pearl, which Essi appreciates so much, never appears, not even as a fleeting allusion to book readers, and the tragic end of the book is completely left out, replaced by a happy ending. Everything that does A little victim A loved one was replaced by random fights, characters that behave so differently could just as well be new creations Netflixand speech output that Peter Dinklage’s line read out Determination “This magician came out of the moon” sounds like Shakespeare.
Fantasy fans are used to being disappointed by book adjustments whether it is The wheel of time do his own thing (although it gets better with every season), The clock Terry Pratchetts Discworld in something not to be recognized or even too Machringe ringsWhat the fans wanted to show the fans of another age of the Middle -earth, but needed one and a half seasons to take their step. The Witcher: Siren of the depth is another memory that Henry Cavill, a huge nerd and the fan of the original books, because he felt that the producers did not respect the source material. If films like this can expect the fans of Netflix, it won’t take long for all fans of the show go behind him.
The Witcher: Siren of the depth Streaming now on Netflix, but you will find the original short story. A little victimAs part of the collection, Sword of fate.
