mixed reputation and true fragrance warning - "The Demon Hunter Season 1"
Today talks about the American drama "The Demon Hunter Season 1".
Popular title The Witcher Season 1 (2019) Alias of the Witcher (Hong Kong/Taiwan) / Wizard / Demon Hunter.
On December 20, 2019, Netflix launched the long-awaited "The Warlock". All eight episodes of the first season were released at once, making the eagerly anticipated audience cheer.
Since Netflix officially announced the production of "The Warlock" in May 2017, the show has been produced for almost two and a half years. It is said that this drama is planned to have a total of 7 seasons. Judging from the content of the first season, the whole story is just a beginning. During the production of
, the little bit of the turmoil in "The Witcher" can become a hot topic among fans. From "script story", "appearance role", to "cameras", "scene highlights" and "release date", book fans, game fans, and drama fans have strong expectations.
After the hit "The Witcher" was released, the original novel topped the Amazon and the number of online users in series of games also hit a new high.
Judging from the performance of the first season, "The Witcher" is definitely a well-made and sincere work according to the standards of the TV series, but if you look at it from the perspective of book fans and game fans, the drama seems a bit unsatisfactory.
In the first season of "The Warlock", the original storyline was greatly simplified, and the main plots were taken for integration and adaptation, allowing many characters to intertwined to jointly interpret the story that took place in the fantasy world.
has three main clues in this season.
The first main line is witch hunter Geralt .
Geralt is white-skinned and white-haired, known as "White Wolf". He is a witch hunter who relies on helping others eliminate monsters to earn bounty for a living.
Geralt believes in neutralism and is unwilling to interfere in any force. He said that when there are two kinds of evils in front of him, he will not choose.
However, people are in the world and cannot help themselves. Sometimes they must choose a small evil to avoid big evil.
story begins with him winning the title of "Bulavikan Butcher".
The second main line is the sorcerer Yennefa.
Yenfa was originally just a disabled girl, with one-quarter of her elf blood, her body was distorted and ugly, and was noticed by the sorcerer students because of her magical power. After careful training and hard work, Yenfa successfully transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan. Not only was he powerful in magic, but he was also as beautiful as a flower.
Yenfa lost her fertility because of practicing magic and changing her appearance. So in order to make up for her physiological shortcomings, she insisted on finding ways to restore fertility.
The third main line is Princess Xili .
Chiri was originally the princess of Sintra, and she was not happy when she was pampered. As the main city of Sintra was captured by the powerful enemy of the southern empire Niphgad, and his grandmother King died in battle, Cial had to start living in exile and search for Geralt with fateful connection.
Xili also possesses the magical force, which is also one of the reasons why she was hunted down. It’s just that Xili has not been trained and cannot master magic at the moment.
The editing of "The Witcher" is very domineering, and it is easy to make people who are not familiar with this series dizzy.
"The Witcher" uses a POV method similar to "Game of Thrones" to tell the story, constantly switching back and forth between the three protagonists. Audiences are generally familiar with this method and do not feel difficult to understand. The disadvantage of editing is that before a story is finished, it cuts to another protagonist. There is no problem with telling stories from
POV perspective, but the problem is that the story is not told according to the timeline. The character who was whipped the corpse one second before may sing and dance around the next second. When he saw it, he thought he was playing zombie fraud.
The story of Geralt, Yennefa and Cialis is completely different in spanning time. The story of Yennefa spans decades. Because the warlock is proficient in magic, his lifespan is very long and his appearance will not grow old. The story of Geralt spans less than Yennefa, but it has been many years; the shortest is Ciri, which is probably only a few months before and after.
"The Witcher" wants to use a method similar to "Dunkirk" to edit stories of different lengths together. He has ambitions, but the actual effect is not recognized.
The original work of "The Witch Hunter" emphasizes the connection between moral concepts and fate.
In "The Hunter", there is no absolute kindness or evil. Everyone can make choices about the development of things based on their own perception. These choices will not immediately affect the future, but will slowly accumulate and affect the final outcome. Each choice will cause some choices, and may not be able to receive tasks from some forces, which may affect the role's favorability, etc.
, and Geralt emphasized many times: "People linked by destiny will always find each other." (People linked by destiny will always find each other.)
In the play, Geralt and Ciri also found each other twice. Once it was the accidental law of the Hedgehog Knight, and the other was the accidental law of the farmer. Not to mention Geralt and Cialis, the audience would also find it magical.
Fastrology is so magical. No matter how people doubt it, fate will always make everyone come together.
"The Witch Hunter" is full of sincerity. Although the plot is progressing slightly faster, there are several important scenes that should be found in the original work.
For example, Geralt chose a minor evil between Renfuri and Stregob, and successfully obtained the achievements of "Bravikan Butcher"; the Sintra massacre with alternating royal powers; Geralt's fight against the vampire bird and other monsters; Paweita's bride selection banquet; Geralt and Yenif 's first encounter; Geralt and the Golden Dragon Three Jackdaw; Geralt and Ciri's two accidental laws; Soden's battle like a human meat grinder, etc.
If you want to say that the biggest failure of "The Hunter" will be criticized by everyone.
casting that emphasizes political correctness ultimately turns the whole show into an incorrect viewer. Political correctness itself is incorrect. For the sake of political correctness, it is a disrespect for this series.
In the whole play, I think there are only two characters that are more satisfactory. One is Geralt played by Henry Cavill, and the other is Renfuri, Emma Appleton. Apart from that, all the characters are so dark that the audience will definitely wonder who I am, where I am, what am I watching?
If the medieval witches all looked like these people in the play, burning the witches didn't seem to be so inhumane.
, the characters that were originally known for their beauty in the original work and the game, have all changed their tone here. Yennef, who is full of heroic spirit, has become an ordinary Middle Eastern appearance,
charming, red-haired Trisse has become an aunt with a head-up pattern,
black hair, green eyes, elegant and beautiful female sorcerer Flinjira Weige successfully "blacked",
even the elves have become night elves...
Tucao, if you can see "The Demon Hunter" successfully becomes a drama, everyone must think "very fragrant". The big battle scenes are not as grand as "Game of Thrones", but Geralt's wonderful performance and long shots will definitely make you excited.
Season 1 whole story is just the beginning, and we look forward to the subsequent development.
long-term span split line narrative, mixed reputations and complaints.
super refreshing battle fans' appearance, really fragrant warning.
