Horrible

Liam Hemsworth unlike his brother, has all the charisma of a piece of wood.

Wtf

Only an hour ago, I was geeking out over him discussing his PC build. Now, I learn that he's leaving the only project of his that I have much interest in. Lovely.

Hemsworth oh wait nvm the lidl version. Well that series done after that season.

Considering what we've heard about the writers actively disliking the source material, I could see Mr. Cavill (as a true fan of said source material) getting cold feet over the future of the series and deciding to out his efforts elsewhere.

This is the first time I've heard this, so don't know if it has any meaning or not. But I have to say that yes I read and enjoyed the books, though if I was handed the book series and told to make a TV show out of it I'd probably hate the source material too!

Massive downgrade

Seems like you're great candidate to write a show for Netflix then, send in your resume.

The Witcher Theory Could Explain Why Henry Cavill Left Netflix Series

Fans of the Witcher are not thrilled that Henry Cavill will no longer play Geralt of Rivia, but they don't blame him for leaving the series.

Sounds like he was a fan of the books and battled the writers a lot

Given that Cavill has been referred to as an on-set “Witcher bible” by costar Freya Allan, it makes sense that a series with a writing staff who actively mocked the work they were adapting might not be something he’d want to come back to. According to Allan, Cavill would also use his Witcher expertise to make suggestions during filming. She says that “We’d be doing a scene and he’ll say ‘I think it should include this line, because this line is from the books.’ He’s definitely a nerd, but he definitely owns that, which is cool.”

fans are not happy--I find it amusing

I wonder if Netflix will reconsider and cancel plans for Season 4. It's just going to look even worse for them and their image if they go ahead with it and the fans hate it. Then again, fans hated Masters of the Universe: Revelation and yet they're making a Season 2. It's as if Netflix doesn't care if you love or hate the content as long as you watch it, which I suppose Disney and other streamers are guilty of, as well.
