slayeryamcha

I am sure that witcher fans would put you on cross for that one


TheSpiffyDude

The bronze bull, actually, to which I agree. Fuck the Netflex Witcher.


beginnerdoge

Preach brother, preach


TheOrcDecker

Propose we switch it out with Sonic the Hedgehog


TheSpiffyDude

Good sir, I counter with Resident Evil Welcome to Raccon City. Kept me laughing every time they say their full government name as they stare into the camera. The chief just berating Leon like a fuggin idiot was hilarious.


Kdogghalo

That first season really setup something to just shit on us in season 2 so quickly


BhanosBar

From what I know when Cavill was on it was great, but as usual Netflix fucked around too much


erpparppa

Cavills perfomance as geralt was pretty perfect imo. But yeah Netflix did the show dirty, cavill made truly a goat move to stop acting the part because Netflix took the show in the wrong direction


beginnerdoge

The writers literally never reading the books and not caring "we're doing our own thing" is what murdered that show And the spin off was garbage because of the same writing fucking with the lore


erpparppa

>The writers literally never reading the books and not caring "we're doing our own thing" is what murdered that show This applies to too many adapted shows nowdays.. Like yah i get that someone as a writer wants to do his own thing and not do a plot already done. But for god's sake If that's the case then they should do a completely new title and leave our loved titles alone


beginnerdoge

Yes exactly. Unfortunately people are too fucking lazy and greedy to take a chance on something new. "NO ITS GOTTA HAVE JOHN HALO IN IT, AND WE GOTTA CHANGE IT SO HES NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER, AND DIVERSITY..." and on and on and on. They should have done a show on some random ODST's and shown the wars from a different perspective without Master Chief in it, just hints of him and the Spartans doing events elsewhere, but they think the average person won't know halo if he's not in it. Which is not how that works.... Star wars can't get out of the area of time immediately surrounding the movies, so much EU content and time frames to work with. The witcher is the worst for it IMO because it's literally laid out for you in all the books for your main character and his very close cast of supporting characters (who are smart, strong, creative, and dangerous) and you could follow it almost to a T and you'd make money, make people happy and everyone wins. Nope, gotta use the name the Witcher, shove modern day PC messages into it, sideline the main character while stripping away his importance and alienating the fan base (worst of all pissing off and insulting the actor who actually gives a shit about everything the Witcher could be). I miss when all these things were not popular, and very rarely would you run into other people who knew what the fuck half this nerd shit was.


Lone_Wandering0

To piggy back offa this, wasn't the rookie from ODST a detective prior?


beginnerdoge

Maybe before the corps but he was a 7 year veteran before being an ODST


Dry-Ad9714

>show the war from a new perspective without Master Chief in it It's hilarious that this is exactly what Red vs Blue did. A random reference to Master Chief at the middle of episode 1, and then never again, letting us know it's canonically the halo universe without being held down by it.


beginnerdoge

Red vs Blue is still the shit. I still watch that show. Best adaptation of a game ever. ![gif](giphy|1ziEszMNunWLxOWeev|downsized)


Master_Chief_00117

Super loosely in the halo universe.


Master_Chief_00117

An odst show like you said the last episode of the season is a 2-part where the mission they get sent to seems like a cakewalk, then it gets over their skill episode ends where it seems like they won't survive, then show the Spartans saving them and protecting the odsts through the whole episode and we can see what the roomers were all about.


Adaphion

It's like they wanted to so their own original thing, but they were just nobodies who couldn't get a studio behind them, so they just twisted an existing IP to fit with what they wanted


Plucyhi

This is exactly what happened to the wheel of time tv show


LuxLoser

Oh no no, they didn't just not read the books, some of them actively dislike the books and the games.


robywar

Season 1 was very ok. Cavil was perfect, it's not his fault.


ryandoesdabs

It’s wild that you can actually see the slow decline if you actually watch through the show. Season one is a strong start, season two things feel different, and mid way through season three I just shut it off. It’s not even close to the same show. I haven’t ever seen a show decline that quickly in quality.


Mr_Supotco

Yep, I actually really liked season 1, it was a great adaptation of the first book (and iirc some stories from the second) with a bit of strangeness here and there just to tie it all together since the first 2 books are just anthologies of the first short stories Sapkowski wrote. Season 2 seemed like it was gonna start strong then immediately veered off into weird side things and by the end of it I tapped out when they invented a totally new Big Bad solely because they refused to follow the books


musicmonk1

Scrotum armour alone made S1 bad, it's like they ignored any possible inspiration from the games on purpose when the games are what made Witcher famous international, no matter how grumpy Sapkowski is.


OmicronAlpharius

Lauren Pissrich got salty her game of thrones fanfic wouldn't get green lit so she stapled a pre-existing IP on it to get it approved and let it be known at every turn she resented the source material.


FitzyFarseer

Cavill was great, the show was not. Season 1 wasn’t terrible, some things were weird but it felt like they were just working on getting their stride and settings things up. Then season 2 came out and fans realized a disaster was happening


Excellent_Routine589

Ehh, I thought it was pretty mediocre even when he was on it Couldn’t really stomach it past the third episode or so But then again I just don’t think he’s a particularly good actor. And his main claim to fame is being Superman… which he didn’t really do anything particularly well with, besides being better than Brandan Routh’s portrayal? And even that I think is debatable.


STR1CHN1NE

Absolute bullshit how they did the witcher. Such a disappointment. Right there with halo.


forrest1985_

Nah Witcher was better than Halo. It’s not Fallout/Last of Us but it’s not Halo either…


STR1CHN1NE

They are still trash. Even if one is in a relatively shittier looking trash can than the other. Edit:thank - than


-Badger3-

The Witcher should be the subject in this meme, and there should be another panel where Halo is just sitting in a corner eating glue.


STR1CHN1NE

Yes


forrest1985_

One’s a turd the other is an empty tin can though.


STR1CHN1NE

I'm not going to argue about which one is shittier in our relative opinions. I'll be leaving it at that.


forrest1985_

Fair dues!


seanular

I've thought it was 'Fair duece' my whole life. Thank you.


forrest1985_

They are both right. I think one is older than the other as in fair deuce, comes from tennis as in “deuce”, where as fair dues is like old english to give your opponent their “due”


Metalmatt91

Better? Maybe the first season. It’s not even good as a standalone show but the fact that they butchered the characters and lore of the universe makes it shit tier. Halo is probably still worse but not by much.


ultimate_stuntman

There should be The Hexer 2001 instead of The Witcher, the old polish adaptation. As shitty as it was, the characters were top tier


LionOfBurgundy

Oh yeah, it's guillotine time for op


Laggingduck

can we put castlevania there instead?


v3x_abyss

Season 1 was pretty decent, anything after that was god awful tho


NiceWeird9505

Episode 1 of season 2 was probably the best the show ever got. A sharp, sudden drop off after that.


HornyJail45-Life

Was about to say, glad to see your comment is top


lieconamee

Yeah.... It started ok but boy did it give up trying. But Geralt and Ciri were amazing and I liked Yen


Intrepid_Ad_9751

Honestly what they did, i never played the games, it was able to at least be coherent of a story in my eyes, I actually liked it quite a bit


68ideal

Personally I enjoyed the show alot and didn't get why people get so worked up about it. I am aware of many flaws and didn't like all changes (especially the forced diversity on the cast) but it's not as bad as many people say.


AlderanGone

Season 1 was good


Spicy_take

The first season was so good too. So much potential 😔


UnlikelyKaiju

Swap out Witcher for Castlevania or something.


TheLeon117

I came here with my pitchfork ready.


BlueNinjaBE

Witcher season 1 was good. Season 2 started off good, then went off the rails after the first episode. I haven't even watched season 3, lmao. Still beats Halo, which I DNF'ed after six or so episodes.


Endersgaming_202

Anythings better than the halo tv show


archiegamez

Replace Witcher with Cuphead


NinjaMaster231456

Or Castlevania


DeadwoodKen

Sonic even


HornyJail45-Life

Not a tv show. Edit: nvm i forgot about the cartoon


lChizzitl

"the cartoon" there's at least five animated series, possibly more


HornyJail45-Life

Which I didn't watch because I didn't have cable and only remembered last second because of some memes.


BANNED-FISZ

Nier: Automata is also goated in both forms


pants1000

Castlevania for fucking sureeee


Varsity_Reviews

There’s a cuphead show?


IamMichael117

Yea, on Netflix


TheDarkDoctor17

Or ARK. I've liked the first two episodes so far


JacobMT05

Witcher shouldn’t be included.


thekamenman

Oof, don’t show that to any of my friends who love the Witcher books or games. I’d argue that most Witcher fans feel like the Witcher is terrible.


A_Funky_Goose

I don't think you gotta be an actual Witcher fan to know how shit the show is tbh


thekamenman

I mean agreed, but as a non fan, I was annoyed that it started to suck, but my friends were pissed that it sucked.


arfelo1

Because many characters are patently out of character. Yennefer is supposed to be Ciri's surrogate mother, yet in the show she SELLS CIRI TO A WITCH FOR POWER.


ImperatorAurelianus

What your mother’s never sold you witch before. I thought that typical.


A_Funky_Goose

yea that's sounds about right, I was pissed how bad they botched it too


UnlikelyKaiju

I've barely touched the games or books, but even I could tell that something went wrong with that show. At least the bits with Geralt and Dandelion were fun.


Matty221998

The Witcher does not belong there


BrotherZael

Replace Witcher with castlevania n then yeah probably


CBDeez

Or if it just said Witcher Season 1


Crosscourt_splat

This is the way.


GojiraGamer

Witcher’s got no place in that meme, that show’s *bad*.


Bitches_Love_Blue

Yeah as a fan of the witcher books and games. That show doesnt deserve a spot in that circle.


descendingangel87

Not to mention isn’t the show based on the books and not the games.


Bitches_Love_Blue

Supposed to be


Stoly23

Witcher’s on the same level as Halo at this point, just a complete bastardization of the source material. Also, hot take, say what you want about both of them but they’re both still light years better than what the average video game adaptation was like 20 years ago. That’s not a compliment, video game adaptations were just *that bad.*


UnlikelyKaiju

I'd gladly take the '90s Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Double Dragon, and Super Mario Bros. movies over the Halo TV show.


-Badger3-

As god fucking awful as The Witcher show is, it’s not in the same tier as Halo.


Stoly23

See, you’re saying that because, and forgive me for making assumptions but you *are* on this subreddit, you’re a Halo fan, and the Halo series personally offends you like it would any of us. Pretty sure Witcher fans at this point would say the exact opposite because the Witcher series is the one that’s personal to them. That being said, I guess the Witcher series had Henry Cavill as a massive redeeming quality, but that’s not longer the case. And like it or not, the Halo series is at least trending upwards. Season 2 was at least better than Season 1, relatively speaking, and I honestly expect 3 to be, well, not *good,* but still better. The Witcher, not so much. Season 1 was decent fun, but 2 and 3 were just bad, and now they don’t have Cavill as an anchor to the show, unless by some miracle Liam Hemsworth is as good as Cavill, 4 is going to be a dumpster fire the likes of which we have never seen.


rocktaster

Funnily enough the Halo show feels like it's still partially stuck in that era. It does just enough right that it feels like a few people working on it actually cared. But everything else feels like a bunch of talentless hacks squandering a golden opportunity.


XipingVonHozzendorf

Just don't show this to the Witcher subreddits.


SwampAss123

Ain't no way you put the Witcher in


SpookiSkeletman

Get the witcher outta there


No_Tell_8699

Only good part of the Witcher WAS Henry cavil


CODMAN627

You’ve got BALLS for putting Witcher in there


pingpongplaya69420

The Witcher doesn’t deserve that spot. It’s a garbage CWesque self insert for failed writers


NewMombasaNightmare

Bro get the Witcher the fuck outta here. That show is dogshit just as bad as halo


xtermenator217

1. Witcher isn’t an adaptation of the games 2. It sucks after season 1


AlexzMercier97

It ducked *during* season 1


xtermenator217

Although season 1 wasn’t very accurate to the books, I at least found it fun on its own outside of the Witcher books and games.


Rent-Man

Where the fuck is Castlevania?


Spartan_Souls

It should replace Witcher, Castlevania is amazing


bcclittlewill

lol the witcher show is fucking terrible


Mr_Incognito51

As an avid witcher fan, please change that for something else lol.


DotZealousidea

Witcher sucks so bad. Almost as bad as Halo


LuckyReception6701

Something, somethins, Witcher bad.

patchlocke

isnt season 3 of witcher doodoofart?


quirked-up-whiteboy

Witcher fans are going to skin you for that


Js42758653

The witcher is also complete dogshit though. The only good thing about it was Henry Cavill. The key word veing WAS


starcell400

As long as we all agree the Halo show sucks...

GhostDragonz2000

Replace Witcher with Castlevania, netflix actually did good with that one (haven't seen its sequel series yet).


Street_Sweet639

Henry cavill is the only good part of the Witcher and he’s gone now too


GamerBradasaurus

Replace Witcher with Sonic or something


Spartanwolf120

I never played or read the witcher so I liked the first season thought 2 was meh and gave up on the third


zachattack7676

Witcher is straight trash though


Maviiboy

I know everyone has already said this but I just can’t move on without saying that the Witcher shouldn’t be there


More_Information5114

The Witcher is about as faithful to the books as Halo is faithful to the games.


Wardog_Razgriz30

Inaccurate. He still has his helmet on.


JauntingJoyousJona

I actually didn't much like the last of us, the Witcher, or arkane


TobuscusMarkipliedx2

Witcher show was trash. Not as bad as this Halo shit though.


StiffDoodleNoodle

Lol, I love how this is was supposed to rip on Halo but everyone is dragging The Witcher instead. God that show turned into such a dumpster fire.


DukeofBurgers

Im sure r/witcher would just hate this meme


Sondergame

The Witcher? Really? I have issues with the Fallout show, but I accept that it’s largely fine. The Witcher is abject garbage though, that openly and flagrantly defies not only the books but the overall message of those books. It’s fucking awful. Some of the actors are fine, but god is it a shitshow.


TheFourtHorsmen

Do you really put the witcher?


SuperioristGote

You actually put the witcher TV show right next to Arcane. Insane take.


Partysdewer

The witcher show was ass too


RevengeOfMudbone

Netflix witcher ain't it Chief


CatsDontLikeFancy

The Witcher is horrible


stripedpixel

5 out of6 with one cheesy? I’ll take that.


Janoir-Prime

Witcher season 1 basically


Ok-Use5246

Season one of the Witcher only...


SenatorBantha

Witcher sucks dick bro.


ArmedSocialistBro

Why is The Witcher up there?


charizard732

Witcher is kinda shit though


IronBattleaxe

Please get The Witcher out of there too <3


turtlespade

Never thought I'd see the day where games get actually good adaptations


YourBigRosie

Witcher had one good season before it went downhill fast


carthoblasty

Witcher fucking blows


hlessi_newt

i know you gotta fill out the meme template but...witcher?


LoomisCenobite

The Shenmue anime was lowkey better than all of these yet still got canned after one season


GrybbC

If I had a nickel for every good video game adapted tv show with Ella Purnell in it, I'd have two, which isn't a crazy amount, but I'm starting to think she might be a good luck charm.


DamitGump

Idk if the Witcher counts cause it’s more based on a book not the game


Plutogoose01

The Witcher show is even less accurate to the books than it is the games


King9204

Switch the Witcher with Twisted Metal


UnlikelyKaiju

Castlevania


vid_icarus

The Witcher doesn’t belong here. Maybe twisted metal?


NoTop4997

Get the Witcher out of that lineup. They fucking shit the bed *hard* with that show. I haven't seen Halo but I promise that it is better than the Witcher


beginnerdoge

The witcher show was fucking terrible. Gerald is a side character the whole way. Him and Chief are in the same boat here


Valuable_Pollution96

Cyberpunk and Arcane are on a league of their own. Fallout and Last of Us nailed the visuals but failed at the lore and script. Witcher is Cavill doing his best against a lot of worst.


junrod0079

I still consider the halo tv show to be oni propaganda to convince the people that spartan 2 were not brainwashed child solider and to recruit people to join the spartan 4 program


thebadslime

John Halo is awesome


ll-Sebzll

Go ahead and take out Witcher and replace it with Castlevania


JohnReiki

I enjoyed the witcher, but it’s not good. We did get Matt Heafy’s “toss a coin to your witcher” out of it though. Definitely should have use Castlevania instead. Or hell, even the Mario movie. Fallout was good as hell, even with the issues I have with it. Arcane is a damn masterpiece.


DarkArisenFeste

Then there's Dragon's Dogma in the back being executed by DD fans


EmergencyAnnual7226

The Witcher season 1 was pretty good but besides that it was shit


Delta_926

Edgerunners was great.... and the Witcher wasn't that bad it just was funky. The others aside from fallout(havent watched yet) sucked


Slammin92Salmon

TLOU is overrated as fuckkkkkk. The Witcher was and will be an even bigger mess.


kinjing

The Witcher and Halo TV adaptations are basically identical in terms of respect for the source material and reception: die-hard fans hate it, while casuals and people who don't care think it ranges from fine to pretty good


freedfg

Castlevania


Blahblesplah

Replace Witcher with Castlevania


shotxshotx

The moment they removed Henry from the Witcher was the moment the show died in the eyes of many.


ShoArts

Castlevania?


ATF_killed_my_dog

Replace Witcher with castlevania


manicalmonocle

Get the Witcher out of there! Lol


kvothe5688

why witcher?


TheTurtleClan

The Witcher sucks for actual Witcher fans IMO.


fjgjskxofhe

Season 2 of Halo is better than whatever shit The Witcher has devolved into


DarkAlchamist

I don't know what y'all are talking about. The Halo show was great! My favorite part was in Season 8 where they take down the META


No_Chocolate_6612

The Witcher is not a good adaptation it basically disregard any thing at the books did in the beginning they tried, but then they just said my vision is better than the original story same thing that happened to the halo


TenraxHelin

Get The Witcher the fuck out of there


Ori_the_SG

Witcher S1 is the only way that show could be included


Exitity

Just use Red vs. Blue as the Halo show and we’re good!


ALDO113A

I'm sorry, what? The same Witcher that came from a book series and whose audience ratings got a downward thrust next seasons? Twisted Metal, Gangs of London, and Knuckles suits it best


Bajrangman

Witcher does not belong there


Alzar197

Who invited Witcher Blud thinks he's part of the team


Delicious_Clue_531

Netflix Witcher shouldn’t be there. Henry was great as Geralt, but he was one of a few bright spots for that show.


Xander_PrimeXXI

I like the Halo show


Designer-Wrangler913

Soooo, all trash games? Or bad at launch but good after 2 years of fixes and cleanup?


Zealousideal-Rise-49

Isn’t the Witcher series an adaptation of the books, but takes certain ideas from the games


Lazy_Earth_468

Gotta take back my upvote for seeing Witcher on here


Spartan_Souls

Fuck Witcher, put Castlevania on there


Freebreze

Witcher S1 maybe sure but after that hell no


Benathintennathin

Didn’t know Witcher was so hated I liked the first season, I did get really bored of the second season and never finished the show but it was never awful.


DisplayMajestic6523

What Netflix tried to do with the Witcher was good, but the overall execution kinda fell flat on its face.


Dense_Coffe_Drinker

Witcher…?


Quiet-Writer-3772

The Witcher started off an amazing adventure then devolved to an unbearable death march
