You forgot the part where he makes everyone question their sexuality

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 97 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say I'm questioning it, Bob.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He is indeed a very handsome man.

[–] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see it. He just looks like a buff version of the guys in my family.

Better to ask forgiveness than for permission.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't think you should be applying that rule to sex.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Ah yes. Of course we always need consent for sexy times. But unless we are having them with confusedbythebasics specifically, they have no say.

Sexuality is a spectrum and feeling attracted to Henry is a common trait.

That's not part of the cycle. That's just a big status effect he permanently applies to people.

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not at all, if anything I feel affirmed. He seems like a really cool guy. A shame he keeps getting shafted.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I wouldn't mind getting shafted... by Henry 👀

So any news on Warhammer 40k?

[–] illi@lemm.ee 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really hope he catches break with that one. Seemed really passionate about it.

And the whole setting allows for awesome sci fi, with spin offs if successful. I'm not holding my breath but it would be awesome if the series opens the door for broad application of the franchise.

Decades of universe building and flexible enough to allow new stuff. But Tyranids, orcs, chaos, eldar, necron, Hive cities, battlefleet, titans.. please don't let them fuck this up.

[–] kshade@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

please don’t let them fuck this up.

Totally unrelated question: Which chaos god feeds on disappointment? Tzeentch? Malice?

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nurgle does despair right?

I wouldn't hold out much hope. Games Workshop was a nightmare to work with in the past. Doubley more now that they're owned primarily by BlackRock and investment banks.

If Netflix can totally fuck up the literal gimmie that was the Witcher..

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they need to get the guy who did the astartes cg, lock him in a room with cavill and let them hash out the first 10 movies.

The Witcher had so much damn potential, I absolutely loved the casting all around not just him (yen was mid tho)

I’m still salty

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago

Both Yemefer and Triss were poor choices in my opinion. But I would have watched it regardless if there was anything of substance to watch after the first season.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's the reason most big name actors have their own production companies to work on their own movies, you have way more control over your own role compared to being just another actor on set.

In any case, I think the audience still recognize great performances by individual actors even if the end product is badly reviewed or didn't do well at the box office, and there are lessons to be learned from the "Suicide Squad" and "Amsterdam" and "Babylon" until you finally get a "Barbie" against all expectations.

I hope he finds his own "Barbie" too.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And hopefully his "Barbie" is the Warhammer project he's trying to get off the ground.

That has the potential to be so much fun if done properly.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Iirc, he negociated to have executive producer role for the thing, so that should help.

I deeply wish The Man From Uncle kept going. Sure the whole Armor Hammer thing was pretty unfortunate, but geeze is that movie (and soundtrack) a fun watch

[–] ours@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"Spectre" came out the same year. Man from UNCLE was by far the superior spy flic.

Sounds to me like he should be given veto power in projects he gets hired on to. I didn't mind the Witcher because I hadn't gotten very far into the lore myself and didn't see how much it had gone off the original path, but I'm kinda tired of producers and directors taking an existing story but then changing huge parts of it.

There's nothing wrong with telling your own story but enough with the bait and switch ones. Give it your own name, don't leech off of the name recognition of already loved stories.

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I personally am not a rabid Witcher book fan — I swear, some folks think they are the best literature out there and they very much are not — but in their quest to make Yennefer a more fleshed out character, they screwed up her motivations and priorities. She’s supposed to be like a mother to Ciri. I did not watch season 3 but it was not looking good for their relationship at the end of season 2.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

They did try to fix the Yennefer/Ciri relationship in S3.

But it suffers from the same problem with the other seasons where the writers are too busy trying to be clever to just tell the story. Like they show a party where a bunch of random shit happens then they later show a bunch of flashbacks to explain what the hell happened. You can imagine them all congratulating themselves in the writer's room on how brilliant they are to come with telling it that way.

They introduced a new character who's either a bad actress or poorly directed. Or both. There's one scene where she's holding a dead pheasant and I'm not sure if she was posing or waiting for the director to say "cut". Either way it's awkward and cringey as hell.

Maybe he'll produce his own thing based on one of his favourite IPs one day.

EDIT: or today as he's executive producer on the new Warhammer 40k stuff from Amazon!

I was enjoying The Witcher, it's unfortunate.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

Well, my expectations were subverted.

I thought it was going to be awesome Q_Q

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The man can grow an epic stache, so good not even CGI can hide it.

casted

The participle is 'cast'. Here's your tree.
