I wish there were more like him in the industry - Lemmy.World

Well… He did more than that…

He also would join up with one of the male writers (who eventually got fired for sexual harassment stuff) specifically to team up against the female writers.

He was also extremely disrespectful of all of the female members of the crew. It got so bad he was fired from the Witcher AND the DCU movies.

Like yes… He cared a lot about the source material and so he fought for it… But the only people he fought were women and the only people he became friends with were sexually harassing women.

It 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…?

You said it yourself, the story from the books and game

Tell the same story again?

This is called an adapted script

That was not what they proposed or were greenlit for? And he signed on for THAT

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

The fact that season 1 has nothing to do with the books, if you’ve read them… should be the biggest enough hint.

But how many Articles do you want

Another

Maybe why don’t you explain what’s the same between them? Because most people agree, they aren’t the same story, and if it was… do you think cavil would be fighting for it to be the same…? Your argument doesn’t even work lmfao.

I know the source material is different than the garbage show.

What you need to prove is that Cavil knew this going in and then changed his mind. This is your entire premise to show Cavil is in the wrong here

The first article I linked explained it pretty good, but apparently you couldn’t be assed to read it, but that’s apart par for the course when anyone tries discussing this. Cavill can’t be wrong, yet he literally said he was, but he still asininely pushed for “source material”, which was both books and video game.

“And for me, that’s always a little bit heartbreaking, because I love the lore, and I love the material so much. I wish we could fit it all in, but with the structure of an eight-hour series, you can’t.”

Of course he knew the limitations of the media, he would be daft not to, and you’re even worse for not comprehending this, doubly so when asked for a source and provided it, you still beak off.

Lol you must be like 12 to care this deeply about such bullshit
You asked for sources, and now insult me for providing what you asked for? The fuck is wrong with you lol.

Maybe read some article about this, this isn’t new information, but sure, claim ignorance I guess.

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

I provided sources, even though I really didn’t have to.

They made claims first, so the onus is on them, I did them a solid and provided sources, that even contradict their claims, and they provided nothing.

But sure, beak off at ME I guess? lol.

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?
