#netflix recast

[helpfulhellhounds]

they recast the main character???? are you fucking KIDDING me????

[mentallyinvernation]

S4 but the plot is that Jaskier gets drunk, fucks about with something magical, and wakes up in a different universe where everything is exactly the same except Geralt is a Hemsworth.

You gotta be shitting me Netflix. You canceled your best show, lost the lead of your other best show and your third best might move onto another platform?! Wtf explain yourself and make it RIGHT!!!

[suffering-and-happy-about-it]

We can bargain, Netflix.

If you let Jaskier and Geralt f*ck and make it cannon, I’ll watch season 4. It’s that simple.

I don't even watch the witcher and the recast is upsetting me. Y'all in for some rough times.

[aziz-the-fangirl]

yes, henry cavill leaving is sad BUT if it has to happen I want the show to lean into the ridiculousness of the main character changing faces mid story.

like, I want jaskier to see liam!geralt for the first time, do a double take and then spend an entire episode being like "you look different. did you do something to your hair? are you wearing contacts? is that a new jerkin? oh I know, you lost some weight, didn't you!" while geralt keeps insisting nothing changed

[aladygrieve]

raise your hand if you hate that jaskier’s last scene in both seasons was someone telling him he was worthless and unwelcome

I might have a full set of clown makeup on but god damn I'm really hoping that Marvel execs scrapping Daredevil Born Again and starting from scratch, and the new creative team reporting that they've been watching the OG series for inspiration...I'm so really hoping that they bring back Deb and Elden as Karen and Foggy.

Charlie, Deborah, and Elden just worked SO SO well together. And if you bring back Jon as Frank Castle and Vincent as Fisk and Charlie as Matt, it's just so fucking unfair if Deb and Elden get left in the dust. Particularly, like, Karen Page was also made super important to the Punisher show, let alone Daredevil. Why the hell would you leave her out while bringing the boys she's connected to back?

And with the Defenders shows now all on Disney+, AND being added to its MCU timeline, it'd be a really dumbass decision to nuke the heart of what made the Daredevil show incredible. It wasn't all Matt being broody by himself. It was Nelson, Murdock, and Page, their connections, their sacrifices, their victories. Their love.

And god damn did they get fucked over with the cancellations. They ALL deserve to come back.

I'm hoping so hard that Foggy and Karen come back with Elden and Deborah. It won't be Daredevil without them, especially with everyone else. It'll be like leaving two gaping holes unfilled.

The fact Joey’s just confirmed that he texts Henry all the time and they’re really close friends makes me really happy for some reason

[this-blog-needs-a-new-name]

I swear these two are gonna be the death of me 🥹 🫶🏼 🥰

[burntblueberrywaffles]

But actually the reason I’m so upset is not the casting change itself, but because I feel like if witcher fan Henry Cavill decides to leave the role... it’s probably because the writing has gone down even more and he didn’t want to be part of it anymore.

Like... s2 was already a downgrade from s1, and I was hoping it would pick back up in the third season, but if it is bad enough to drive the lead actor away... yikes.

I'm nervous about all of these upcoming dramas that chronicle the life of a female character like legend of jewelry and flourished peony I left like blossoms of adversity could've used more episodes most of the great shows that depict this kind of story like Story of Ming lan and Story of Yanxi palace are 70 plus episodes because you need the room to slowly build up your story and characters but now every cdrama has to be 40 eps or less and that's really not how you do art you can't just confine every single story into a specific number of episodes the writing/pace/development will always suffer

I think we are right to be very concerned about dramas already filmed that now have to be edited down to 40 episodes. When done with due care, I think they can still be very worth watching (it's the supporting characters that will suffer but likely not the story of the female lead; they'll slice down the secondary couple and SML.) But if the production team isn't preoccupied with quality and/or isn't given the budget for a good editor to invest the time to get it right... 🙈

For the dramas not yet filmed, I honestly am fairly confident. Competent directors and screenwriters can certainly draw on their creativity to tell a full & satisfying story in 40 forty-five minute episodes. We have seen how cdrama artists can still flourish despite constraints. Short dramas like Butterflied Lover and Provoke, which created compelling stories with little budget & screentime. Censored queer dramas that tell a second story between the lines.

There are 2 common set ups for tv production:

[1] the multi season storytelling style that plots a portion of the story bit by bit. You get the beginning arc - maybe the story continues; maybe it's cancelled. You get another arc - maybe the story continues; maybe a major actor doesn't renew so their character suddenly is eliminated from the narrative; maybe it's cancelled. You get another arc... You maybe get an ending?? (prayers up!) Which often doesn't resemble the writer's original vision, because of casting changes or because another show aired their idea first, or because the writer's opinion on a ship or character changed due to interactions with fans (positive or negative).

[2] a complete story is filmed, with a beginning-middle-end, and it's released as a whole 22 or 34 or 40 episodes.

I'll be honest, after many years of experiencing type 1... I am so, so over it. I will take some annoying limitations and a constraint of 40 episodes any damn day if you can deliver me a coherent narrative that delivers an arc that is solidly closed - where I actually get to experience the complete vision. That's my personal preference for how to do art as television.

I think it's wonderful that in the last few years, through kdramas and cdramas, I've been able to enjoy so many complete stories centered around the growth of a strong female character. And I don't take that for granted. So let's think positive, my anon friend. Bring it on!
