    Not to mention the show was supposed to be a different story from the books AND game which are vastly different already (which no one seems to comprehend when talking about this topic) he got fans and everyone else to capitulate his demands to show runners that it meet source material. How is a unique story supposed to meet source material…?

    The guy is delusional and it’s cost him roles, yet his rabid fanbase defends him relentlessly since they refuse to educate themselves on anything he spews.

      How was it a unique story, when everything happens in the books? The head writer and producers just tried, and failed, to be better than the original by adding useless confusion and killing important characters. The games are different in that they play after the books and extend the world.

        I asked you in another comment and you ignored me, but what’s the same between the books and show? The skeleton is the same, but most characters, events and places are different.

        Why the obvious lie? You just expecting sympathy from other people who haven’t read the source materials and assume they all tell the same thing? When the don’t.

          I didn’t ignore you I just don’t spend all time in the app. I got no commitment to reply in any predefined timeframe. As I said I stopped watching in season 2. Up to that point everything is the same. Except the story of ciri and the forest is moved to a later point, I believe in the books it’s before the fall of cintra. It is not a different story just because you change outfits.
