Kill The Witcher!
Can I have a little silence please! I'm trying to get some work done in here
thank you!
Welcome back everyone is Charlie this is going to be my video for The Witcher
Netflix movie announcement and what's going on with season two so if you're
new to my channel be sure to subscribe to get all the Witcher videos I will be
doing videos for the movie stuff when it comes because that'll be separate from
the season two episodes I'll just break all this down top ten style careful for
spoilers from The Witcher Season 1 I'll be talking about the events of season 1
as I start talking about what's going on during the movie that they just
announced and what's going on during season 2 so number 10 what's going
on what's this movie that they're talking about so The Witcher Netflix
movie is called nightmare of the wolf the wolf that they're referring to in
the title is obviously Geralt aka the white wolf the people that make the
Witcher Netflix series are making a tie-in anime movie that's going to
crossover with the events of the show and probably be released before season 2
gets here number 9 the big announcement they made about the
animation studio that Netflix partnered with is Studio Mir they're the studio
created by some of the people who worked on the original Avatar The Last
Airbender series in case you didn't know Netflix is also doing a brand new
Avatar The Last Airbender series next year so see how that's all connected those
people also went on to form their own animation studio into the Legend of
Korra - so that's probably where most of you know their work from in terms of
animation style so my early guesses that'll look similar to some of the
animation on Avatar Legend of Korra but be way more hardcore to make it feel
more like something you would expect from a Witcher story and because it's
Netflix it's not being made for children they can be as graphic as they want
number eight The Witcher nightmare of the wolf official synopsis for the movie
is the world of The Witcher expands in this anime film that explores a powerful
new threat facing the continent so that's pretty brief it doesn't tell you
a lot about what the plot is going to be but when they speak of expanding the
world of The Witcher with Geralt facing a powerful new threat it sounds like
they're adapting a story that's not completely told in the books and it also
sounds like a prequel story mostly I think in service of not spoiling the
events of season 2 or future seasons because I do think that season 2 is
going to start right after the end of the finale where Geralt meets ciri here if
you haven't read The Witcher books which is what they're using to adapt the TV
show episodes season of storms is a good example it's the most recent witcher
book that's been published but it's a short story that takes place way earlier
in the timeline between the events of the last wish after a guilt in yennefer
part ways like you see during The Witcher Netflix episode 6 like she bolts
she's like that's it I've had enough of you but the season of storms adventures
take place before sword of Destiny where he and ciri come together like we saw
during the finale there's a lot of time jumps in The Witcher Netflix series as
there are in the books so season of storms just tells the story of his
adventures during those unexplained time jumps the pacing is super brisk and
there's way more action in it then there isn't some of the main books themselves
so number 7 my top picks for the quote-unquote new threat that they're
actually covering during this Witcher anime movie is season of storms the
actual book itself so quick synopsis of what that book is about it treads a lot
of well-worn tropes of typical witcher stories so you have kings and queens
that are greedy and short-sighted you have small towns that are corrupt and
suspicious everyday folk that are prejudiced and violent worse than some
of the monsters Geralt is hired to fight in at the same time Geralt conveniently
meets enough helpful intelligent compassionate people along the way to
challenge his cynicism like he does during The Witcher Netflix series so
like most of Geralt adventures that are told in the books there's this constant
push-pull between his apathy for Humanity and also his empathy because of
the good people he runs into the biggest complaint that people have about it
though are that the stakes aren't quite as big as you would expect because
the story takes place really early in gerelds timeline so you kind of already
know what's going to be happening to him later so even if he gets into trouble
when he's fighting a wizard you know he's eventually going to
survive you know yennefer is going to be fine series going to be fine because
they all show up in the next book so number six next pick is Geralt versus
sorrel de Gerland which is actually one of the adventures during season of
storms one of the evil major antagonist Wizards he goes up against Geralt is
hired by a wizard to investigate after there's a series of weird murders
happening in and around this mages tower it's a castle called risenberg they
think one of their fellow mages Sorel raised a demon and the demon has been
going around killing all these people when Geralt finds him he thinks that the
demon merely possessed him and forced him to commit all these atrocities so he
goes back but then finds out that it was a bruised there was never a demon in
this evil mage actually created a couple of troll hybrids to commit all the
atrocities so Geralt eventually has to chase him down it takes him a little bit
longer but he eventually finds the mage and winds up killing him number five my
next pick and I think this is a little bit more likely as what the movie is
actually going to be about is the story of what happened to care more in the
castle as it exists today is a ruin of its former self only vesemir lives there
most of the time there are other witcher's but most of them are busy
following the path like Geralt engaged in monter hunting across the continent
so they live pretty low Matic lives in the present day their order is slowly
dying off because they can't create any new witchers and the old witches are
slowly being killed off through the action of their trade the whole reason
why they can't create new witcher's to sustain their order is because the Arts
and special potions they use for the trial of the grasses the process of
undergoing the Witcher mutations were lost when the castle was sacked by an
angry mob the event is never really covered in the books so it's a prime
candidate for some tie-in material that crosses over with stuff on the TV show
sort of setting you up when you arrive at Kaer Morhen end during season two so oh
that's how it got to be like this the reason why the angry mob was able to
defeat over sixty trained witcher's at the height of their power was because
the mob also has the aid of a small army of sorcerers and when it comes to range
combat and pure magic your average sorcerer is a lot more
powerful than your average Witcher mages like all cloth wearing classes are super
squishy though so in close physical combat witcher's would tear through them
like tissue paper but the castle was sacked in the people at Kerr Moran who
knew how to make the special potions and create new witchers were killed and
their existing supply of potions so like you see Geralt creating a lot of potions
that's a big activity during the videogames too he can create low level
potions but not the really special ones that they use for the trial the grasses
those were meant to be very secret only a couple people at any given time knew
how to create those and they were killed off during that big attack I get a lot
of questions about ciri in her elder bloodline because a lot of people that
play the video games see her being trained to be a Witcher and they're like
well if she becomes a Witcher does that mean that she can't have children and
the line will die off witcher's themselves as they say during
this series are rendered sterile by the mutations they undergo so they're
incapable having children the old-fashioned way just like sorcerers
and sorceress is like yennefer tries to find a way to undo that during the
episodes but because the special potions were lost and they can't create new
witcher's so number four that's why you see Geralt in the video games training
ciri at camera and later she grows up to kind of be a Witcher of sores but not a
true Witcher the same way Geralt is she doesn't undergo the mutations so she
still technically could have children the thing about the books though because
the TV show is adapting the books and there's still a ton of book story they
could go for five six seven seasons if they wanted to I believe at the end of
the book story she's still technically in her late 20s so a lot of the book
story leaves off with you just kind of wondering what's going to happen to her
in the future so it's sort of left to speculation but number three right now
The Witcher Netflix season 2 is getting ready to film episodes henry cavill is
getting back into shape i think they start shooting sometime in the next
month or two they'll be making the anime movie at the
same time as they're making season 2 episodes but the anime movie will be
released before season 2 episodes are ready The Witcher Netflix showrunner did
an interview a little while ago explaining why they decided not to
release The Witcher season 2 until 2021 because I think previously a lot of us
just assumed that they were going to release it at the end of this year
she said the biggest reason is just to give them extra time to finish the
episodes in post-production like if you remember Game of Thrones took way longer
to produce the final couple of seasons because it was so many extra special
effects so there'll be a lot more news and details about the season 2 episode
really soon but because the show is following the books you don't need to
worry that much about what they're going to be covering because they're just
going to do the next book in the series which is blood of elves I did a whole
big season two top ten predictions video about what parts of the book I think
they're going to adapt and what the Netflix series is going to change from the books
because they already changed a bunch of the book story for season one so I'll
link that video at the end of this but number two for the most part season
two is going to pick up right after this moment here in The Witcher episode eight
ending where Geralt meets ciri in the woods for the first time and she asks
him is yennefer the whole reason why she knows Yennefer's name despite
never having met her seen her or ever heard her name is because of series
elder blood power in the law of surprise that binds her to Geralt caused her to
see him in her dreams that was what the crazy dream sequence was all about he
was wandering around in the dark earlier screaming yennefer x' name that psychic
connection is mostly because of the elder blood magical power within her so
she doesn't actually know who yennefer is she's just asking gerald who's that
chick you were just screaming about like a madman when season two picks up
they'll probably head for camera and search for yennefer on the battlefield
that sodden hill nearby since that's on the path to care more n as far as I know
the Witcher Netflix Season 2 won't release till at least a spring next year
maybe summer it's going to take him a little over a year to finish the
episodes so The Witcher Netflix anime movie nightmare of the wolf is meant to
fill that gap so I'm expecting them to release it at the very end of this year
but let me know in the comments what story do you think they're going to adapt
for Witcher nightmare of the wolf there's a bunch of stuff coming up I'll
also be doing bonus videos for The Witcher Netflix season 2 so leave all
your requests in the comments to every one click here for my new

this is the way!
