10 Witcher Characters Who Just Didn’t Look Right In The Witcher Series

The Netflix series The Witcher stacked books and video games faithfully, altering the image of some by including certain characters. The Witcher series stayed loyal to books and video games on some characters while others have been re-thought out entirely.

The show succeeded in bringing the magical world of dragons, warriors, princesses, and political intrigue to reality, whether a Witcher character looked just like their pixilated equivalent or entirely different.

However, there are a few nitpicks in the appearance of witcher characters that aren’t exactly correct. Most of the time, those witcher characters were easy to overlook and forget about, but for lovers of the books or games, certain details were impossible to overlook. The below list of witcher characters are for those who didnt showed up right in the series.

10. Geralt

The demonstration Geralt of Rivia looks like the Geralt of the video games. There is nothing wrong. There aren’t going to be many complaints when Henry Cavill is playing the hunky monster slayer. However, in both the show and the sports, Geralt’s contempt from the ordinary citizens he encounters is often unjustified. And with all the injuries, he’s always a really attractive hunk of a guy, despite his reputation as a mutant abomination of existence. Everything doesn’t feel quite right.

Since Geralt is portrayed as more menacing, serious, and fearsome in the novels, this makes more sense. He has the size of a sinewy grim reaper rather than a mediaeval superman. The literary Witcher justifies Geralt’s paranoia and contempt on several occasions. On the show, being terrified by the most attractive person on the continent seems odd.

9. Cahir

Eamon Farren, an Australian actor, was an excellent choice for the role of Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach, or simply Cahir. Cahir is a major character in the novels, and he is the black knight with the “bird of prey” helmet that haunts Ciri and Geralt’s nightmares. With the exception of one outstanding costume accessory, none can be nitpicked by book lovers.

His helmet isn’t quite right. It is very big. Another obvious exclusion seems to be the lack of the above-mentioned bird of prey, which should stand at the crest of such a monstrosity of his headpiece. The show’s Cahir also seems to be somewhat different from the Cahir in the novels, so the missing bird may be a metaphor for these improvements.

8. Mousesack

King Bran Tuirseach of Skellige and Queen Calanthe of Cintra have advisor known as Mousesack, often referred to as Ermion. The protection of Princess Ciri was also delegated to him. As the wise and devoted Druid, Adam Levy is awesome. However, something is lacking, and that may be an issue with appropriate dress in the king’s court.

For his scenes, he’s at the Court with the King and Queen, and Mousesack’s in fine clothing. However, he’s a Skellige druid too. In other words, the Sherwood forest hermit decorated with grass, soil and animal bones should look more like this. But he can’t manoeuvre around such a castle, but he’s also a druid and that must be seen. A chain in crystal or maybe a fanny animal skin pack? Give fans something. Give fans something.

7. Renfri

Renfri’s tale is a colder, grittier, and sadder version of Snow White. A princess almost murdered and banned from her throne. She becomes the leader of a group of bandits, and she may even be a cursed being that can put the world to an end (long story). Geralt’s nickname “Butcher of Blaviken” is derived from her. Renfri is expected to be the same height as Geralt, but casting Emma Appleton, who stands at 5’11”, was a smart choice. However, sticking to the book outline and keeping her as a “blonde with blue-green eyes” would have been preferable. The lightness of her appearance must have been a stark contrast to her shady moral nature and Blaviken’s dirty paths.

6. Torque

Torque is a sylvan who meet Geralt and Jaskir while travelling. Sylvans are a clever breed of people who have goat-like characteristics and are known for their pranks. They’ve been portrayed differently in the Witcher books and videogames.

However, the Netflix series chose to add sylvans with Torque, a character whose presence takes a second to adjust to. Torque’s appearance did not seem to be complete. He resembled a Picasso drawing rather than a half-goat, half-man who played the pan flute. If it was a fantastical character or not, The Witcher series missed an opportunity to be inventive here.

5. Jaskier

Jaskier’s books and video games in the Netflix show are on with the Dandelion. It does not say that he has to reveal either because he has a goat in The Witcher III video game. He’s gotta age, though. Remembrance: witchcraft age is much slower than average people. Geralt and Yennifer should therefore look the same over the years after the first season. Normal people like Jaskier need therefore to age. But in the film he doesn’t seem to be ageing one day.

4. Duny

Duny had been cursed as a prince during the day to pose like an iceberg. And he certainly had hedgehog-like characteristics when he appeared at The Witcher. But the curse of Duny didn’t look so awful in this fantastic setting, where all kinds of monsters and fairytale creatures live. He looks still amazing as a real person. The curse of Duny could have looked more hideous, in a way that people could not do. This explains more succinctly his exile and disgrace. Maybe it’s just that hedgehogs are really adorable.

3. Filavandrel

It’s been a challenging task for the King of Elves, Filavandrel. He’ll just strive to escape and maybe begin another rebellion, not exactly the King of much after people massacred his people. The King of the Elves should be an incarnation of all elvish species: big, slender, lovely and otherwise. Filavandrel is just a little short in the Netflix collection. He should be a little grumpy and worse to wear, but his elvish and kingdom stature still ought to be exuded. In contrast, Ciri was on the run the first whole season, but she never lost any of Filavandrel’s royal uniqueness.

2. Villentretenmerth/Borch Three Jackdaws

Borch Three Jackdaws is one of the most fascinating characters in the books and shows, or even recognised by his dragoing tome Villentretenmerth. He is an old golden dragon changing form who likes Geralt because Geralt does not like to kill dragons. Borch serves to demonstrate Geralt’s inner struggle, and to prove that he is not a monster murderer but heartless. In reality, Geralt has an ethical and moral code.

Villentretenmerth is the forming golden dragon in Netflix, who looks like an old retired knight as he decides to pose as a human, for some unexplained reason. A bit too old for Borch’s character. The book describes him as a well-nourished rogue chef. Nice character, in the show just miscast.

1. Vilgefortz

With the Vilgefortz character, Netflix takes a new direction and makes several improvements. Vilgefortz could also become a power with the shadow of which the whole continent is dominated. The actor Mahesh Jadu is expected to be brutally beautiful and suits the bill. So if he is to become a huge baddy for the programme in later seasons, they will have to threaten him a little more. The Netflix Vilgefortz may not generate a sense of fear, but they may take the individual in a different direction.
