Personally, I think there’s a more apt Simpsons moment for this:

I’m here for you to *teach me* the Witcher’s lore, while Henry Cavill grunts and explains the difference between right and wrong without any attempt at being polite to foolish people that don’t listen. And then there’s a fight and the foolish people are sorry they didn’t listen. I’m not here while you guys do clumsy…

And instead of having Ciri understanding her power, another simplification for US watcher, they decide she should wandering the desert for nearly the entire episode never fully understand what her power supossed to do.

Gotta love it when trash writers and directors blame the audience or other cast members when the problem is themselves. From what I’ve heard was that several of the writers did not like the source material, yet they were still allowed to work on the project, and Henry Cavill (who is a major Witcher fan and pestered…

Me, torn between an opportunity to further shit on America, but also thinking this dipshit is wrong about a complex geopolitical fantasy show not being popular because lol Game of Thrones was most beloved by an American audience before it dumbed things down.

The exact same crap with Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Secret Invasion. Someone writes something clever, the producer says Americans are too stupid to get it, they rewrite it into something insultingly simple that ends up being politically detestable, audiences hate it, the producers complain that Americans were…

It doesn’t help here that the split was super weird. Like, and I’m not exaggarating here, the second part was essentially a three episode prologue to Season 4.

Look, I would’ve watched the newest season, but I got cut off when Netflix cracked down on password sharing and in light of *waves arms wildly* going on in the film and TV industry, I wasn’t rushing to sign up for my own account.

That’s why Game of Thrones’ early seasons made it the biggest show on the planet. Because a genius producer came up with the key idea that what it really needed was dumb it all down.

*gestures at all the shittiness of modern society and capitalism*...I mean, apparently you can do exactly those things.

Oh, no, it’s WAY worse than that. Just listen to him:

Jesus Christ just reading through that was so insane that for a moment I was worried that I was having a stroke.

So once again, blaming your audience rather than blaming what actually is the problem: Poor writing

“Don’t be shitty to people” should be a baseline, but you should at least be able to manage “don’t be shitty to the person you specifically hired to make you look good in a movie.”

People are horrified whenever they ask me “who do you admire” and I reply “no one”.

yep. the old adage that those who would do best with power are those who desire it the least, and vice versa

We’re looking up to the wrong people.

I think the important thing is to not get sucked into the cult of personality.

It’s not an unreasonable demand, and simultaneously, Lewis and other TikTokers’ confusion about what is and isn’t the right way to be a horny woman on the internet also seems fair.
