One of the big unknowns so far about ‘The Witcher’ was to know what was the opinion he had about her Andrzej Sapkowskiwriter of the fantasy novels that adapt the series of Netflix. He himself had preferred to be somewhat equidistant when stating that “I would have to be an idiot to say what they have not adapted well“, but now it has been somewhat clearer.
little enthusiasm
sapkowski Yes, he’s made it clear in the past that he was comfortable with minimal creative involvement in the adaptation, but once seen, it’s pretty clear that he hasn’t been overly impressed with the outcome. This is what he has commented during his visit to a literary exhibition in Taiwan:
I’ve seen better and I’ve seen worse.
Good way to make it clear that the Netflix series it has left you somewhat indifferent without saying it outright. And perhaps the myriad of changes to the books that seem to have led to Henry Cavill’s abrupt departure have also had something to do with the lack of enthusiasm shown by Sapkowski.
Let’s remember that Sapkowski did actively participate in the promotional campaign for the first season, but since then he has stayed quite away from the Netflix series, and It doesn’t look like that’s going to change.. At least, the showrunner of ‘The Witcher’ has promised that the third installment will be more faithful to the books, even with that the opinion of the creator of this universe improves somewhat…
