s04e06 — Twilight of the Wolf

Vesemir 💔 Istrad 💔

Is there anyone left alive at the end of the series?

Well, as soon as it was made clear that there would be a defense of the castle, bad thoughts immediately began, and they intensified, as the witchers were called to protect it. This whole battle is entirely the idea of the authors, and they've fucked up. The battle itself was not impressive. But besides her, there are a lot of other dumb or absolutely no moments. It took a couple of seconds to restore his face, rather than a lot of experiments and hard work, and as far as I remember, he was the first one who was able to restore his eye completely. Rita's death—okay, let's say I already realized that there would be no Lodge. The most powerful magician in this world is defeated in a minute. But we won't kill, we'll try to find out why Ciri is needed, even though she explained it to the others in the fourth episode. And Vesemir's death. Zero emotions, just zero, as if another bot had died (hello to serial Eskel, Keira, Rita, etc.). And then you remember Vesemir's death in the game, shock, misunderstanding, sadness, resentment and thirst for revenge. The authors were not at all able to show even remotely what the game had done and the emotions of the computer models (they thought that creating a similar situation was enough to repeat the effect, but they could not create the situation that they had when defending Kaer Morhen). Well, once again, all that's left of Vilgefortz is his name and no sense of danger as the book's main villain. Thanks to the creators that they haven't fucked up with Leo yet, but I think that's all ahead.

No, guys, fighting is not your thing.

The battle with the blots. The editor is an epileptic.

And the mechanisms need to be lubricated in advance and regularly, Philippa.

This is the first time I've left a comment here - my head burned out so much) So, I'm not a fan of the Witcher, I read the books about 15 years ago and not all of them, I didn't play the game, the series as a whole comes in, and I liked the battle in this series - I felt sorry for the sorceresses, the witcher, and the story from Philippa also screamed - but everything is explained by the fact that in the end there would have been no suspense, just as there would have been no continuation of the series if Ian and Philippa had killed Vilgeforza) it's all understandable. I don't understand what (which is why I got burned out in principle) how all these people can suffer and die for Ciri... in this episode, when she gave a bream to a kid and went to protect "friends", she became the most toxic and negative character for me, I sincerely don't want anyone to suffer and he was dying because of her. Because she just acts like she's finished (sorry fans, that's just my opinion). Of course, I understand that she's like a typical Mary Sue, but this season I just want to strangle her, I got her. And the azta hairstyle. Don 't overdo it too much

I liked everything, it was very dynamic and dramatic.

What was that? I take my words back under the first episode of the season about the scriptwriters who regained some of their sanity: in the middle of the season, they started using something extremely strong again.

Guys, who read books, tell me — has Ciri always been so dumb? Or is it just in the series?
I just imagined her a little differently. And here it's just some kind of teen drama. She runs, braves, even cut her hair — everything is according to the canon of the genre.

It was a bit strange how the transition was mounted after the battle with Vilgefortz, when you look at the emotions of the battle, the heroes die one by one, and then abruptly the transition to a party of rats. I experienced some kind of emotional swing..

I also got flashbacks of Harry Potter from the scene when the wizards put on their hoods and jumped into the portal. Copy it off, but not exactly 😅

The Tissaya illusion is the best move of the series: it instantly raises the stakes and plays beautifully from memory. Plus, Philippa's waterwheel scene against the fire is a rare thrill.

I get caught, but I can't keep quiet here anymore. The series just turned into woke propaganda, which is not surprising. Previously, it was somehow covered with a plot, but now they just shove it in the eyes.
A weakened fringilla kills 2 guards in hand-to-hand combat. The witcher men hid in the castle while the witches set up a shield outside (I know it was a tactical move, but it looked like it looked)
In general, according to the rating of power indicators, the most "oppressed" are made the strongest
S-tier - Black women
A-tier - Black men
B-tier - White women
C-tier - men of other colors (lighter than black)
D-tier - white men (young)
F- tier - old white men
You can throw downsides, but we all know it's true.
As for acting, Liam is doing quite well, considering that Geralt is just a background extra and a tool (thanks to the showrunner)
Laurence Fishburne, for all my sympathy for him, just went to work as a pensioner, did not study the source, just played Morpheus in makeup.
Rats are generally a disgrace, especially Ciri's love line (which was not like that at all in the original source, there was no love as such) Not surprisingly, no money was spent on promo spin-offs.
There is still a 5th season under the contract, and it will be released, despite the box office collapse of the 4th, and it will be the final one. I'll probably check it out, this time just because of Liam and especially his fight scenes, it's clear that he's trying.

Ciri couldn't find a beautiful girl, I'm shocked... The nigger is generally fast

Jennifer is great, Sabrina is great, Philippa and that witch on the broomstick are all great!
Fringilla the goddess 😻

I liked the installation of the rat party, and as much as I don't like rats, Ciri has become more lively and interesting and the image suits her better, otherwise the long wig was liquid

That's where the advantages end.

The buzz series. The Tissai illusion is goosebumps. Ian Mammy

Tsyri/Falka unexpectedly stabbed a man hard when a blonde boy was stolen

A series with a light flair of the struggle for Hogwarts, especially the appearance of Commander Vilgeforts. But the fact that strong witches died so easily is a bit annoying.
And I liked Vesemir's comment that we don't know here...We're going to kill, but we're going to fight.

I love Jennifer so much. She's come all this way to become such a cool woman and a witch.

Wow, it turned out to be a dynamic series, these witch fights. It looked very tense and interesting. I'm thrilled.

The battle looked good overall) How Jennifer looked and smiled when Vilgefortz appeared 🔥🔥🔥

Were they inspired by the game when the Wild Hunt attacked Kaer Morhen? We decided to add "epicness", which was not there.

Vesemir's death is, of course, a tin can
They didn't even let me cry

Vesemir... Grandpa is our favorite... You should have lived to see the games, not died of a stick and a stick :(
Philippa, my love, why couldn't you use magic to turn on the water in your rundown castle? Purely for the sake of drama, they screwed up the series...

The battle of the enchantresses and Vilgeforza in Montecalvo is large-scale and epic.

Istred and Vesemir 😢

The whole world is looking for Ciri.👀👁️
Meanwhile, Ciri - I'm a rat, sniffing and having fun🙈

Do you know why the series turned out to be good in principle? That's because Liam's not in it.😅

This series is quite good. I won't say anything

Although I don't understand why she didn't kill him when she could...

So, after all, all the progress in the plot was saved for the final episodes. The beginning is laid in this series.
The battle for Hogwarts on minimums. The magic barrier, the death eaters, and the finale with the confrontation on the wands of GP and VD.
I won't say that I'm upset, it's still well-choreographed.
I know that Ciri took a crooked path in the books, too, but in the series it seems to me that the transition from a kind-hearted woman to a butcher is too abrupt.
And Jennifer's final outburst is certainly a strong scene)

The massacre is not canonical, but it is logical within the framework of the series, and it was well handled. It was a great epic, screaming with delight at how cool it was shot. Yes, Vesemir died somehow too quickly and not dramatically, but he still managed to distribute a handsome one. For fans of lore, only books are canon. All the other incarnations are "based on motives", somewhere more, somewhere less - that the game, that the Polish TV series, that the current one. It is better to look at it as a thing in itself, without looking back and without comparing. And then it feels very, very good. I'll watch all the episodes in a minute, and I need to review Montecalvo again)

Vyser with Vesimir's death is a drama for the sake of drama. Absolutely aimless and useless sawing of an iconic character. Who doesn't know, according to the canon, he died as a hero defending Ciri in the battle for Kaer Morhen against an incomparably stronger enemy. And based on this, Ciri made a landmark decision in the final. And this death... To whom? What for?

Top mixes of magicians, in terms of effect

I wish the scriptwriters and showrunners would read something other than Harry Potter....
I don't even know, for example, the Witcher, whom they seem to be trying to film here.

It seems that the dynamics have gone, but there are a lot of crinkly moments, everything is in some ink of clams almost completely, a thin slim Philippa, who manually turns an ancient spit, Vilgeforts was knocked out in a second and a minute later he washed away into the portal (although at the end he even castanul), Vesemir also jumped on free without support, in short , this

Are you all fucked up? It's fucking fucked up!!!

Ian is certainly good with a face covered in soot, but the choice of dress for the battle was a bit surprising

And what about all their blood, why is it black? Is the 18+ rating being bypassed like that?

Well, after the gorgeous third season of The Wheel of Time, which, by the way, was unfairly closed, the battle was really very weak, although very long. Technically, it was kind of hard to watch, but the emotionality and numerous murders made the situation a little better. Ian drags the season for everyone, apparently, I hope Anya Chalotre's fee has been raised.

I like Ciri, I know the characters exclusively from the series. And her behavior is understandable, a teenage crisis, bad company, she blames herself for everything. The mutiny on the ship, plus, as far as I understand, Ciri is not very aware of everything that is happening. And I liked that, in contrast to such a mother's battle for her child, the child independently fills himself with new bumps. This clearly showed how much Ciri needs her family.

The battle in the castle looked generally good, except for some silly deaths of the magicians. And I hate the stupid nobility of protecting students who won't survive without you, instead of wasting your energy on restraining them, and using them to try to defeat a stronger magician.
Well, it was difficult to think about oiling or loosening the gate in advance or sending the witcher there.

I'm one of those souls who has read books, and I don't like how blasphemously the battle for Hogwarts is mixed up with the witcher, it turned out to be ugly!)
If I hadn't read, I probably wouldn't have understood what was going on in the plot at all.
In much the same way, Netflix messed up the cool fantasy Shadow and Bone.

The only thing I definitely liked was how Leo Bonarta was done. A rather charismatic grandfather

I enjoyed the battle, even if there wasn't much conversation.😂
Well, Jennifer is an actress in comparison with others, even though her appearance has been redone, it is clear that she is trying, she conveys emotions well. The rest are even, well, like this

Why Hogwarts? Unless it's in the final fight between Ian and Vigeforza...

Castle, shield, Vesemir's death - it's all 1 in 1 sliced off the game
Only in the game we had an epic ride, witchers are not for furniture (although it was initially clear what would happen and how - well, what kind of witchers against a bunch of trained magicians) .

Vesemir died for what?
He just went looking for his death and found it.
In the end, of course, the phrase was touching: "This is for my son. Geralt" - thank you for clarifying, Grandfather. I already thought this was another rebuff from the scriptwriters.

The combat routines are so dumb.
The witchers just stood there for half a minute, but then a couple of creatures were brought for them so that they wouldn't get bored.

Why didn't anyone help Ian in the last fight? Did all the madams of the enchantress just stand and stare?
Why Philippa decided to turn the lever manually... I thought she was doing some kind of magical thing, but she just decided to drink some water. And how convenient it is that Vilgeforts moved all the magicians to this place so that it would be washed away.

I don't give a damn about the deaths of the characters this season. Except that I felt a little sorry for Eastred, he was with us from the very beginning:(

Well, at least the portals were controlled, otherwise for a battle whose main purpose was to kill Vilgefortz, the outcome would have been completely disastrous.

By the way, why is he so eager to kill Ian that he even went to distribute bream with a staff? I don't remember. It was more logical when he was sitting in Stigg's castle, and did not show his nose from there. On the contrary, he waited for them to come to him, which happened in the end.

If the battle is entirely invented by the scriptwriters, then why not add more logical moments.

At the moment when Vilgefortz was knocked out, it would have been possible to break /cut off his hands - so they would have disarmed him, at least for a while, then it would have been possible to show that he had grown everything back like an eye.

The main sucker of Vilgeforts also forgot that you can do different things with magic, so he stupidly tried to kill the young students with a fart.

The dwarf hid in the corridors of the castle for the entire episode so that she could jump out with a hammer for a minute, maybe she should have been on the front line or with the witchers. In the end, they even conjured 2 cockroaches for the witchers.

At the moment when the enchantresses were fighting off the fire, it seemed stupid that they could create fire out of nothing, but they couldn't create air and water.

I just liked Vesemir, so he was killed - maybe that's why the previous actor didn't return to the role?

And I liked the episode: in general, I was very worried about the battle, it was very tense.
And while Geralt is looking for Ciri, Ian is looking for Ciri- the lion cub from Cintra is having a great time- almost sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, adolescence has dragged on, it's time to grow up.
The boy doesn't shine with his mind either - while everyone was fighting there, he could have made a burden.
I also have associations with rats with the Six Ravens from Shadow and Bone, but crows are much more charismatic, interesting and diverse.
It's a pity that their series was canceled.,
