still picking my way thru s3 of the witcher episode by agonizing episode but it's going SO slowly bc every time i watch one it's just like. right. this show is a B movie now and not in a good way
#like it's not like NONE of it has been fun but it's just like. i enjoy the fandom but the source material is. not actually good
#and people SO badly want to credit it with all this depth and sophistication it just absolutely does not have
#but s1 was at least like. coherent and fun if unsubtle
#s2 and s3 have just been this big spiral into like. an attempt at Fantasy Saga
#which would be fine if they were good enough at storytelling to do that coherently
#but unfortunately it's just like. disconnected scene after disconnected scene strung together by mediocre action and worse humor
#all of which have looked weirdly pastede-on-yay in a way i don't know enough formal film language to articulate
#but it's just like. it doesn't feel like the characters are actually moving through the world‚ visually
#it's just costumed ppl shoehorned into backgrounds that are either (1) cartoonishly stagey (2) dreary irl countryside somewhere (3) bad CGI
#and then geralt gets whumped and it's like. wait NOW you want us to care abt him? after sidelining him all season?
#like. idk. structurally and emotionally the writing just sucks
#and then the acting and visuals are. largely also bad. lol.
#jaskier is probably one of the best bits really but then they give him so much material that's absolutely clownish
#and it's like. i'm not opposed to humor but it's remarkable the way the juxtaposition of his tone with the overall tone of the show
#manages to make BOTH vibes seem stupid somehow. honestly an achievement
#however. big fan of predicted-by-me-but-still-good betrayal scene. like. he didn't even seem surprised which was perf honestly
#'obviously you lived down to my expectations‚ that's just how life goes and has gone ever since geralt blew up at me on that mountain'
#just like. makes total sense and also grants him some actual depth and dignity
#now do that the whole time with all the characters challenge…

#(i realize no1 currs but like. i do like 2 record my Thots On Media otherwise they all fall out of my head like a sieve)
