It seems to me women in leadership positions are just fucking up everything in entertainment. Not just artistically, but to the bottom line...financially.
She's a lefty. All hollywood writers are. And some of those posts are bad, yeah. But given the flood of autism she's getting from /v/ posters she's really being quite restrained compared to what you'd expect from a twitter harpy.
Zerrikanians being black is actually an assumption on the part of readers reinforced by the games. They're not described as black when they're introduced.
Nilfgaard practices chattel slavery, doesn't allow free practice of magic, and restricts elves to reservations. They help the Scoia'tael in precisely the ways the Soviet Union "helped" Polish freedom fighters in WW2. Used them as cannon fodder then dumped them as soon as possible. They're multicultural in that all empires are inherently multicultural.The irony is if they do paint Nilfgard to be this backwards patriarchy then at least it will give a few fans a chuckle. Nilfgard is the progressive empire of many different cultures, it's a multicultural society, and furthermore the Nilfgardians have at least some Elven blood in themselves as well. As well as not being specifically anti-elf anti-dwarf, and at points helping the Scoiatel.
The gay characters will be Elves probably, though honestly if you ever needed a better candidate then it should be the Dwarves, think about it, large group of squat little men living together in the woods. Away from the people who treat them like second class citizens, and don't understand their culture or their lifestyles.
I agree with you somewhat, but come on nigga. This is the same woman who said "we're not going to go through and change races" and that first tweet is idiotic. Yeah, not everyone is described as white, but she blatantly changed the races of people who are described as white. If that's restrained compared to the utter insanity of the rest of the writing team, then yeah, they are a bit of a joke.
The black Fringlla actress, literally, looks like a chimp.
It's an exotic southern land filled with warriors, dangerous beasts and "striped horses". Yeah, it doesn't say they are black, but is it such a wild assumption that it's based on Africa? If you have to have blacks in your adaptation, this would be the best place for them. But no, the setting where people hate those with pointy ears or think Geralt is a freak is totally fine with black people roaming around, sure.
Asians are basically white when it comes to the oppression Olympics. They are successful in their own nations and in the West and don't ask for gibs, so white Hollywood writers and producers won't get as much diversity points by representing them.
It's restrained compared to almost every writing team in the business. You act like them all being raging lefties is new. If we went by tweets then HBO's Chernobyl is just a giant metaphor for DRUMPH's refusal to acknowledge global warming.
I think the armor has cloth on top of it. So, it be some sort of ceremonial Guard?
Yeah, I know man. I just get whiplash from Hissrich. As much as she really says some reasonable things sometimes, you could absolutely make the argument that she plays nice to get people to watch it and then she says shit like "the book doesn't describe every character as white explicitly so it's cool that we make up their race instead of using our brains at the fact that quite a few of the main characters are described as white and it's pointed out when characters look out of place by having a darker skin tone" and "fuck your arguments proving me wrong, representation, we're doing whatever we want" and that's what she really feels. The tweet partway down where she talks about people snarking about Geralt being gay and calling them assholes because he's not going to be and she's following the books is so fucking stupid considering she can't even follow book descriptions, from the Elves to Fringilla.
I'm pretty sure it's their actual armor, sadly. The only compliment I can give it is that the emblem looks somewhat alright. It's like the costume designer had enough brain cells to know Nilfgaard's armor having a black color scheme looks good and then they used them all up and came up with the most terrible shit possible.
She didn't, only one of her credited episodes features the Punisher (Ep.9, with the Punisher and Fisk in prison).
Gale Anne Hurd can't be everywhere.
The BBC does this but I didn't know it was also in Hollywood.
