When people say only attractive people are being cast in Hollywood movies and TV shows show them this movie. It proves that overweight and ugly people are most definitely being represented!!! 🤭

# LARPing the basic plot again, Netflix crap. The vultures who grabbed the Witcher "franchise" have done it again. Even this strong side story about the Rats, they managed to corrupt. And I'm not talking about "we need to have a PoC everywhere" in which is supposed medieval Poland and surroundings. I'm talking about a doppler which isn't one: A doppler is someone who can shapeshift to replicate the likeness of another. Hence the name. Here, just some dude with white paint on his face. I'm talking about Bonhart having a nonsensical apperance. Copeley is a good actor, but the styling is stupid. Bonhart is a close-combat fighter; he keeps his hair short, so the opponent cannot grab it. Guess what they did here? long, stringy hair. I'm talking about a pair of regular modern sunglasses modified slightly turning up in a pseudo-arabic medieval setting (which has no place in the slavic Witcher universe). I'm talking about giving Mistle psychic powers - or whatever you want to call it when the writers are lazy and have someone read their notes straight to the audience. For a washed-up fighter, Dolph Lundgren is a solid choice. But the Rats story has no Witcher in it, let alone one from the cat school. 1000 up front, and 20 after the job is done? That's certainly an original negotiation method. To top it off, Til Echrade, a "fair-haired elf" fighter becomes a bald black magician here. And he's not with Skellen, but ... ah, nevermind. It's a mess. The Netflix impostors use names from the stories, some basic plot elements, but that's it. They don't even apply inner logic. OKish-fighting scenes, cheesy music, uninspired direction. LARP is fun when you do it with friends, I suppose; but please don't pass it off as a film adaptation of the story.
