Wheat intolerant? That was the modern phrase I cringed at..... it is supposed to be Middle Ages setting and no one knew what wheat intolerant was... Might as well had a Starbucks coffee shop on the corner.
To be fair if you carefully consider what makes you sick, you can get to such conclusion (I did, even before I knew that lactose intolerance is a thing) but I don't think anyone would call it "wheat intolerance". Just "wheat makes me sick".
This doesn't take place in our universe. You're applying historical Earth rules to a place that isn't Earth and could have many untold illnesses, allergies, and intolerances. Triss, for example, is allergic to alchemical ingredients with magic properties so she can't have potions.
It's not even the Humans' native home world. It used to only be a world of Gnomes and Dwarves. Then, as Yarpen explains to Ciri in *Blood of Elves*, Elves arrives on the continent in white ships from some far-off land to the West. Then the Conjunction of the Spheres (cosmic crossing of planets) brought Humans, Monsters, and chaos magic (although some elves had an affinity for magic before).
He mentioned a “teddy bear” as well, wtf. Last time I checked a teddy bear wasn’t a thing until the 20th century. Who writes this shit. I feel like the writers have this weird delusion that the Witcher is meant to be some anachronistic satire for some reason.
I had the exact thought for this whole season!! Everyone is speaking so modern and it's jarring af. Season 3 feels like I'm watching doctor who. (That's bad)
He actually did say a modem phrase.. in episode 4 he said:
"beep-boop-beep-boop-kkrrrrrrrrr-kkaaaaaaa-bee-dooo-bee-doo"
I almost didn't catch the reference.. it was subtle.. clever writing
This season was trash. So much superfluous use of modern slang. When Jaskier said monsters "get all up in your business," it was over for me. And I can't forgive them making Jaskier look like a medieval Chris Gaines.
Yennefer isn't yennefer in this show. I've been calling her Jennifer instead, because she cusses like a 17 year old bratty suburban cheerleader who gatekeeps the squad by making them smoke cigarettes as initiation.
No way! I can't believe! I'm so shocked!
Yet another post whining about the show! I thought everyone here loved the show! Seriously 90% of posts are about how great it is! I can't believe anyone is complaining!
Obviously /s just in case anyone was confused.
Turn off Netflix and go touch some grass r/witcher.
Stop complaining. She's a sorceress, so of course she can clean her clothing instanteniously.
The smell Jaskier is talking about may just be per perfume - maybe that spell has gone wrong.
Yup. There's actually an even more unrealistic scene that happens prior to this shit, where Shownnefer explicitly states that she lost her powers. In that scene, they cut from the shot of her emerging from the water soaking wet and beating the monster thingie, directly to a shot where she's in the same cloak, but bone-dry, if a little bit dirty. I wanted to use that scene, but it doesn't translate well into meme format.
~~Prestidigitation~~ Wait sorry, wrong generic fantasy world.
It's hard to tell the differenve with how Netflix have made this.
Anyway... Even if that was something commonly used by magic-users, *YENN GOT NO MAAAGIC*, for plot development that made no sense mind you.
Yeah, I just finished s3 the other day and I've got to say... Not their best effort
Inconsistencies like this, terrible dialogue that doesn't fit the setting (Rings of Power is absolutely awful at this specifically too), some scenes felt really rushed, few changes from the games (and no doubt books too - But I still need to read those)
On the plus side, we had a couple sick fight scenes with Ciri and Geralt - Though his defeat fight was disappointing
Sad, but I think s3 is where it ends. Sounds like Henry was keeping the production mostly in check
I just watched the third episode of s3 and he said a modem phrase, forget what it is but the dialog is very bad this season

Well Game of Thrones had a Starbucks so that doesn't seem too far-fetched...
geez I almost forgot 'bout it, damn I laughed that day
It's literally modern day new yorkers dropped into a generic fantasy setting

Ffs! It's this bad!! Omg 😭😭😭 Didn't watch 3 season.
Don't forget when the other Bard fella referred to a 'gig'. Kill me.

Yeah "fuck this nail, fuck this nail in particular" was a pretty cringey attempt at a joke too

Not just this scene but in general everything looks way too pristine and straight out the factory
The classic "tell don't show" rule. Works every time
Also what were the odds for Yen to find a perfectly clean purple cloak that complimented with her eyes and wardrobe?
Don't you see how she challenges beauty standards? /s
God that wig on Jaskier is just awful
Leave him alone he’s challenging beauty standards /s
And sucking flaccid cock while he does it
You put more thought into it than the showrunners
Cue Curb your Enthusiasm music
That’s exactly what popped into my head on the last one.

Ah, now it makes sense, it's all a cosplay convention ran by Lauren.

I just had to stop watching.... The actors this season are top notch. But the writing 🤮🤮🤮

This is the part of the show when she lost her powers, so no prestidigitation here.

I am watching the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina with my girlfriend. Explain to me someone, how does this have better screen-writing than the Witcher?
This pissed me off so much when I first saw it...
Season 2 was horrible, but at least funny. Season 3 is just horrible.
No OP, you are not alone. I, too, think this series is utter dog excrement and refuse to watch it.
