Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher

But he is coming back as Superman. I guess you win some, you lose some?

They are replacing him with !@#$ Liam Hemsworth. :person_facepalming: :confounded:

Loved Man of Steel, sorry they went right into the Batman stuff before a true Superman sequel. Liam is ā€œokā€ from what I have seen of him but is definitely a downgrade:-(

Oh no! :person_facepalming:

Both of them are not on my shortlist of receiving an Oscar, but it is a waste of human capital to bury an actor who takes good care for your box office in a TV show. Remington Steel is another fine example.

In my opinion, this Witcher series is not good (and i really like Witcher world), he was the nearly last one positive thing. Thay can cancel it now :smiley:

Heā€™s the only redeeming feature of the TV series.

When he goes ā€œHmmā€, I feel that.

I also liked the magic and monsters but otherwise I agree.

I know exactly what you mean :smiley:

I think both Zod and Batman plots were premature. The Superman character needed time to establish an identity. Still liked Man of Steel for what it was.

Maybe itā€™s just me, but I think Liam has all the charisma of a wet blanket.

I would say the show was pretty ok but the performances were elevating it a bit. Losing Cavill is probably going to drop the show into the mediocre category for me. If Liam can fill the role convincingly I will be extremely surprised. Glad I donā€™t own any Netflix stockā€¦

Its not surprising hes leaving, he originally stated he was in it for the long haul the full Monty but under the condition that the story would remain faithful to the source material he understood ā€œsomeā€ changes would need to take place to adapt it to the screen much like how some changes occurred for the games but the overall major parts story remained unchangedā€¦. BUT the series has a room full of writers who actively mocks the source material and believed they could do better which they canā€™t and failed at which pissed off ā€œGeraltā€(Henry Cavill) more than anything since before he was even cast he was an avid fan of the series which is why his portrayal of ā€œGeraltā€ was so convincing and enjoyed by fans.

Iā€™m sorry, wtf is that lol

cast member, female, cute

Who does she play? Iā€™m sure she normally is attractive but thatā€™s one of those modeling pictures that I just find extremely unflattering.

There is controversy regarding his departure from the show. They are saying, he left because the show runners and writers were ignoring the source material. And they are even saying that the writers pretty much hated the books, games and author. Apparently the author and source material are not woke enough for them. According to reports. So, Cavil was fed up, and he quit. Mind you, he was scheduled to be on the show for at least 6, 7 seasons. He even said he would do the show as long as the show remained faithful to the source material. In my opinion, he was the only good thing about that show. Season 2 was horrible.

I am NOTā€¦happy, to say the least. But a Win is a Win. Super man needs him.

As usual when it come to TV stuff, and me not caring much for that or for that matter having owned no TV for the past years.
Then i have to resort to friendly search engines to figure things out.

And i came up with ā€ that guy that also do superman in resent movies ā€œ, and i have seen those on my 32ā€ Computer screen.
Then the guy is not what i would call a actor that breathe life into the characters he portray, but then again the super dude are not much of a challenge, he need to get into something more complex.

Many many of the latest popular TV series i have not seen a single episode off, so all i know is what little i have picked up on the net as after all when a series go big, it also hit the net.
Even if i was TV inclined i think something like the Vikings TV series i would not have watched, as it would probably just make me realize what sorry - weak - sniveling fools this former Viking nation are today, and like most people i have a problematic relationship with the truth when it is hurt.

I mean, 32ā€ is the size of a smaller TV so Iā€™m not sure why it is relevant that you donā€™t use an actual TV. Lots of people own TVs and donā€™t use them to literally watch TV stations these days. Streaming is taking over.

Sometimes directors make odd choices. They ask for emotions that donā€™t fit or save takes with poor performances. For example, Natalie Portman is praised as an actress, but if you had only ever seen her in Star Wars Episode 2 youā€™d laugh at the very notion that she can act. Cavill definitely has more potential than he shows in the DC movies as Superman. He has ~20 other films if you want to see. I enjoyed The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
