Comment on I wish there were more like him in the industry
exanime@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoIt got so bad he was fired from the Witcher AND the DCU movies.
Not sure what happened there but this is plain false… he left the witcher after at least 2 years of complaining the writers were throwing away the source material (the reason he signed on for) to actually go to back to DC since they expected the Black Adam movie to reboot the DCU. When Black Adam bombed spectacularly, any future DCU plans got tossed.

The show was a different story from the books and game, what source material were they supposed to follow? Tell the same story again? That was not what they proposed or were greenlit for?
He was canned from two different places for refusing to understand they are telling different stories that can’t be identical to the source material. How else do you deal with someone like that? Especially when he started dragging fans into harassing the show runners.
People defend him, since they don’t understand what was going on, but he’s louder and more famous, so he gets his way, until he doesn’t. Maybe the fact his has happened more than once should give people pause…?

Huh? I only watched until season 2 but so far the story was from the books. Just skipping some stuff and remixing it badly.

Uhh what? The skeleton is the same, but it’s an entirely different story, nothings the same, which is what upset cavil since he wanted a retelling of the books.
What in specific can you pinpoint that’s the same between the show and books? It only started to somewhat resemble the books in further seasons because of the shit Cavill pulled.
Why the obvious lie?

You said it yourself, the story from the books and game
This is called an adapted script
Please provide source for either of these claims. Contracts are often signed when there isn’t even a complete team, let along an adapted script ready
Yeah, what a monster, trying to give fans what they want to watch instead of the majestic crap they produced which was universally hated by those who knew the franchise from before
And by the way, I’m not aware of what other instance you talk about

They did, they used the skeleton to tell a different story, but cavil didn’t like it wasn’t a 1:1 retelling, yet no one wants to discuss how the games weren’t either. Yet he was arguing for content from both…?
Dude didn’t even know the lore himself, and was forcing the showrunners to do a story they never intended.
Maybe read some article about this, this isn’t new information, but sure, claim ignorance I guess.

Still waiting on all those sources that put you in the high horse of knowledge that is The Witcher tv series

Makes claims, provides ZERO fucking links or sources, issues homework instead.
