I’m certain that a great deal of this show’s true problems come from the top down, with writers forced to make changes they otherwise wouldn’t even consider. In any case, I have a hard time blaming the writers when I see a producer make these comments. The work of Andrzej Sapkowski is based on eastern European folklore (to some degree) and the way this show has Americanized The Witcher, transforming it into mirky, generic fantasy, is yet another example of the kind of cultural imperialism that we are fighting against. If Baginski was hoping to score some anti-American points with a Polish audience, I’ll just say this: Those of us Americans who are upset and disappointed with the show are upset on Poland’s behalf. The interviewer just told Baginski that he was the demographic in question and that’s followed with a “Dear children” response! Really? If you look up the definition of ‘condescending’ in the dictionary, you’ll find this exchange. ![]() Dear children, what you do to yourself makes you less resilient for longer content, for long and complicated chains of cause and effect. Interviewer: You’re talking to such a person.īaginski: Okay, so it’s time to be serious. Those people grew up on TikTok and YouTube, they jump from video to video. When it comes to shows, the younger the public is, the logic of the plot is less significant.īaginski: Just emotions. We resign from cause-and-effect chains, from linear narration. ![]() I see the of the processes Jacek Dukaj wrote about in his book After the Script. Behold this wild exchange between the interviewer and Baginksi: Baginski: The audience changes, it’s not like… It all changes. No, changes to The Witcher that almost certainly drove away its star, Henry Cavill, and have seen the most egregious dip in viewership for its Season 3, Volume 2 episodes, also lays at the feet of young people and TikTok.
