When I first saw this announcement I immediately checked the calendar to see if it was some kind of prank day. Not only is this news completely insane, but the worst part is that they are replacing him with LIAM FUCKING HEMSWORTH, aka Gale fucking Hawthorne, aka the most boring person on the planet. This can’t be real this can’t be real this can’t be real. There isn’t enough rocking back and forth in the corner and crying in the world that could soothe me from this trauma.

Don’t even get me started on Liam Hemsworth. First of all, WRONG HEMSWORTH BROTHER, NETFLIX. Has he been in anything since Hunger Games? Don’t answer that. I am sure he has but whatever it was, I haven’t seen it. He was so dreadfully boring in Hunger Games it was literally painful to watch.

The dirt behind this disastrous fiasco is that Henry Cavill is a major Witcher fanboy and obsessed with the source material and the character itself and has been heavily involved in making sure the writers stay faithful to the original material. Well the writers said no thank you to that and decided to fuck with the story in ways that Henry Cavill did not appreciate – so much so that he decided to say fuck you to the show and bounce.

There is a lot of talk online that this has something to do with Henry Cavill coming back as Superman, which was recently revealed in the Black Adam post-credits scene (absolutely here for this), and scheduling conflicts with a potential new Superman movie or appearance as Superman in future DC installments. This is a red herring and false. Henry Cavill loved the Witcher and previously stated that he was all in for all seven (seven!!) planned seasons of the show. He could easily make time for both.

So, the bottom line is that Netflix fucked around and found out and we are all paying the price. The reaction online has been 100% negative and I can only pray that Netflix gets their shit together and figures out a way to unfuck this situation and do whatever they need to do to bring Henry Cavill back for season 4.
