Fans Express Anger Over 'The Witcher' Season 3 New Trailer: Poor Costume Design
2023-06-10
Fans of 'The Witcher' series are furious about the costumes in the third season. Since the announcement of a new actor playing Geralt, replacing Henry Cavill with Himesh Wosley, fans have expressed various complaints, feeling that the show has deviated too far from the original and claiming that Netflix is ruining everything.
When the first trailer for the third season was released, a costume worn by Yennefer caused a huge uproar once again, with many people comparing it to that of a middle school math teacher. There were objections raised about Yennefer's wig, costume, and the suitability of the actress. Most people disagreed with the outfit, stating that it was something Yennefer would never wear in the original material.
Geralt also faced mockery from some viewers in this scene, with fans believing his costume to be too reminiscent of fast-fashion brands, even finding similar clothing items in those brands.
Yaskier (Dandelion) and Ciri also couldn't escape the criticism. Reddit user u/NoraMonkey questioned Yaskier's hairstyle, stating that the hairstylist made his forehead appear enormous, noting that this wasn't an issue in the previous seasons. Ciri was also dragged into the discussion, but most of the dissatisfaction was directed towards the actress herself.
The audience's reaction to this new trailer has sparked further resistance from a group of fans. There have already been fans posting a comprehensive boycott proposal against Netflix's 'The Witcher' on Reddit. Of course, this may not have any impact on Netflix, but it's evident that the fans of the series are quite discontented.
