Geralt has just one sword. Worst adaption ever!

On a serious note, I think I'm way too used to the versions of these characters from the game to fairly judge those.

Henry Cavill is so miscasted... like, the costumes are great and all but all I can see is Superman

His face is just too perfect and beautiful

Edit: well the pic above sealed it. Looks like a supermodel cosplaying as Geralt

Are you under the impression that Geralt is ugly or something? Certainly not in TW3.

So I'm guessing it has to be constantly reiterated that the show is based off of the books and not the games, so that people stop asking why certain things don't look the same 🤔

All in all, I'm liking what I'm seeing here.

Cavill as Geralt is VERY good.

Also, In the books, he only carries one sword on his back. smh.

Pretty good.

I know it's book based in terms of his look but bearded Cavill/Geralt would look so much cooler. But he looks great here too.

Looking much better than that test footage that was released some time ago. I wanna see bearded Geralt though.

I'll have to get used to beefcake Geralt, but goddamn. His wolfish features in the games seemed so appropriate, but Cavill looks incredible.

Cautiously optimistic and hoping for the best. Needs 2 swords though.
Edit: I've read all the books, just a bit worried that they might ignore that particular aspect.

Not sure I like Geralt, he's too good looking and uh, it looks like he's wearing a wig.

I wanna see how will they handle the creatures/monsters, I hope they didn't put everything only to cast Cavill and do bad cgi monsters.

Isn't this based on the books? Ciri look kinda old? I mean from the blood of elves I imagined her to be like 12? Other than that it looks ok.
