Celan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 The rumor about Jaskier x Radovid has been confirmed. He's apparently not Vizimir's child in this godawful rendition but is his younger brother. At least Eskel died and thus was spared being turned into Jaskier's gay lover. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

You can bet that he's going to be Morally Conflicted at worst, now. Can't risk turning him into a Depraved Homosexual trope. Mistle is going to get the same treatment, I'm sure.

I mean you do know what they say about people who impale others But yeah, at this point, pay no attention to Netflix's the Witcher, I was hoping Cavill's exit would be a wakeup call, but it seems like the canon defilement is going to have no end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radovid, maybe, because they’d still have Jaskier for more "positive" representation in that relationship. But honestly, I highly doubt the show progresses far enough to actually reach the point where Rad’s burning people. That’s a long way off and I’d be surprised if it lasts two seasons without Cavil. Their Blood Origin show already flopped hard. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without him I’m sure they’ll just go full steam ahead. Remember, they wanted the death of Roach to be a comedy scene. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I do think the Depraved Homosexual trope is something that's was quite questionable (I mean come on; they've been codified as evil villains forever) but I think the backpaddling to remedy it has been very shitty; you can't have any more evil gay character any more. And look at how fucking memorable and vile Moghlester was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I hadn't even heard they're doing a live action spinoff that's just about the Rats. I thought it was a joke when I first saw it.

He's just counting his money, though. As long as Netflix pays, I don't think he cares much. These are the character descriptions of Netflix's Radovid and Mistle. Lovable misfit gays. • Fleabag‘s Hugh Skinner as King Vizimir’s (Ed Birch) playboy brother Prince Radovid. The press release states: “With his good looks and drunken charm, Radovid amazes with how incisive he can be in political affairs, but it’s all games until someone gets hurt.”• Bloods’ Christell Elwin as Mistle, a member of teenage misfit gang The Rats who is suspicious and out for revenge – though a chance meeting changes everything.

I mean, a little rudeness from a broke ass author to one of the most famous gaming companies in the universe should hardly constitute horrible treatment. It’s not like he abused them or something. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
