The Witcher Season 3: Henry Cavill's Departure Sparks Fan Outrage
The highly anticipated release of The Witcher Season 3 has left fans disappointed and upset with the news that Henry Cavill will not be returning to the series. Despite a planned boycott over Cavill's departure, angry fans have found fault with everything from character costumes to lore changes and even Jaskier's bisexuality.
The second half of The Witcher Season 3 is expected to be released later this month, on July 27. This will mark Cavill's final appearance as Geralt of Rivia, adding fuel to the fire of fan outrage.
Adding to the controversy, another surprising departure has been announced, with Liam Hemsworth set to take over the role from Season 4 onwards. This has sparked a fan revolt, with a planned boycott of Season 3 in protest.
Netflix has also been trying to retain fans amidst Cavill's departure by projecting strange Witcher advertisements on buildings and landmarks around the world. Each ad boldly proclaims, "Yes, he's still Geralt in Season 3." However, these desperate attempts seem to reflect the current state of The Witcher.
While some viewers enjoyed the first half of Season 3, many fans were upset over character costumes and other changes. The lore and writing issues have also been a point of contention. Cavill's portrayal of Geralt was a shining light in an otherwise lackluster first half, which is why fans are so upset about his departure.
As the second half of Season 3 airs, it remains to be seen if the promised boycott will have any impact. However, it is likely that once again fans will voice their discontent with the direction of the show.
If you want to catch up on The Witcher, the official synopsis for Season 3 states that the second half will be released on July 27. You can also explore the current state of The Witcher or discover other trending shows.
