Umlindi ujongile… kodwa ayiqondakali

Ngaphambi kokubukela iziqendu zokuqala ezintlanu zeNetflix's Witcher , Ngekhe ndikuxelele ukuba uthini ngencwadi-okanye imidlalo yevidiyo esekwe kulolo chungechunge-kwaye andiqinisekanga ukuba ndinokukuxelela ngoku, emva kokubukela isiqingatha soluhlu lutsha lweTV. Yinto entle, engaqondakaliyo egcina umdla wam, kodwa hayi ngezizathu ezichanekileyo: bendifuna nje ukufumanisa ukuba kwenzeka ntoni esihogweni nokuba ingaba ibinengxaki kusini na njengoko ibibonakala.

Nantsi into endinokukuxelela yona, osenokuba sele uyazi. Witcher yenzeka kwilizwekazi. Liliphi ilizwekazi? ILIZWE. Kukho abantu abanobugqi nezilo, kodwa yonke into isephakathi kakhulu, oko kuthetha ukuba kukho ii-elves ezine-makeup ezothusayo, kwaye… ngaba abo bacingelwa ukuba bancinci? Kuhle ukuba neentlobano zesini kweli lizwekazi… ngaphandle kwaxa kungenjalo? Andiqinisekanga. Abasetyhini banokukhokelela kwaye balwe (kwaye benze ukubulawa kwabantu!), Kodwa nabo kufanelekile ukuba badlwengulwe kwaye babulawe ngamanye amaxesha, ke… iyanzima.

Kulelizwekazi kukho abantu (amadoda?) Ababizwa ngokuba ngamaGqwirha. Zizidalwa eziguqulweyo, nokuba oko kuthetha ntoni. Amagqwirha ngamanye amaxesha anamandla omlingo- kodwa kuphela xa kufanelekile- kwaye kubonakala ukuba bomelele kakhulu okanye abafi okanye… into, kodwa kuthiwa abanazimvakalelo, kwaye bayazulazula emhlabeni babulala izilo. Witcher wethu ngumfana ogama linguGeralt waseRivia. Nceda ungandibuzi, okanye naye, phi okanye yintoni uRivia.

UGeralt udlalwa nguHenry Cavill, olunge kakhulu angaze ancume kwaye abulale ngokukhohlakeleyo izinto ngekrele elikhulu le-ol. I-Cavill ilungile kwindima (ewe, nayo fiiiiiiiiine, ukuba yinto yakho leyo), kodwa uGeralt akanyanzelisi mntu. Ungomnye nje umntu ogcwele intshontsho, umntu okruqulayo notsalelekayo kwinjongo angayifuniyo kodwa kufuneka ngokuqinisekileyo abe ligorha, njengabanye abaninzi phambi kwakhe. Snore.

Iya kuba ziindaba ezilungileyo ke, ukuba uGeralt ayinguye kuphela umlinganiswa ophambili. Kukho abanye ababini. Omnye nguPrincess Cirilla, aka Ciri, odlalwa nguFreya Allen, okhoyo… olapho. Ndicinga ukuba simelwe yingcambu kuye, kodwa naye akanyanzelisi, kwaye usapho lwakhe lunemicimbi emikhulu, ngenxa yoko akazenzi ngcono izinto. Ngapha koko, amacandelo akhe athotho ukuza kuthi ga ngoku zezona zinto zibambekayo nezinokudideka kumdlalo odidayo. Shaya ezimbini.

Isikhokelo sesithathu soluhlu nguYennefer (Anya Chalotra). Ungumthakathi (ayilogqwirha. Ndiyacinga ukuba kwahlukile?) Kunye nokubonakaliswa kweendlela ezininzi ezinengxaki kangangokuba andazi ukuba mandiqale ngaphi, kwaye kuya kufuneka ndiphicothe imicimbi endinayo kunye nelibali lakhe ngokwahlukeneyo ukuze ayizukumosha izinto. Sekunjalo, ndandimkhathalele kakhulu, nangona ndandinjalo.

U-Yennefer ubuncinci unomdla, kwaye uhambo lwakhe lomlingo luneendlela ezithile kuwo, kwaye bendifuna ukubona ukuba iyaphi. I-Chalotra ilungile kwindima yayo kwaye iyaqhekeka kunye nabalingane bayo. Nokuba iCavill ebuthathaka iyamkhanyisela xa behlangana. (Abafana, kuthatha ixesha). Yena, kunye nokuma okumbalwa okuxhasayo, kunciphisa ubuninzi beatmosfera, ubunqunu obungenasiphako, kunye noyilo lwemveliso eqokelelweyo kulo mboniso kwaye ubuncinci yenza into kuwo.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku yeyona nto ndiyithandayo kulo mboniso nguJoey Batey njengoJaskier, u-bard olandela nje u-Geralt ejikeleze kwaye ajoyine ikwayari yabantu esithi ungakanani kodwa woyikeka kodwa uyanuka naye. UJaskier nguGabrielle ukuya kwiXena kaGeralt. Uyahlekisa kwaye ujikajike, kwaye iingoma zakhe zilungile-kodwa azonelanga kuye, kwaye inyani yokuba andinakukuxelela ngokuthe ngqo ukuba ubudlelwane bakhe noGeralt busebenza njani ukubonisa iziphene zalo mboniso.

Kwaye zininzi iziphene. Witcher Iyadida kwaye kunzima ukwenza iintloko okanye imisila xa isiza kwisakhiwo sayo esintsonkothileyo kunye nehlabathi eliyinkimbinkimbi. Izama nzima kakhulu ukuba ilandelayo Imidlalo yeethrone kodwa uyalibala ukuba GoT Usazise eWesteros kancinci kwaye akazange afumbele izixa ezikhulu ze-lore kunye namagama ezenziweyo kunye nohlobo kumqhubi wenqwelomoya. Isenze ukuba sikhathalele abantu kuqala, kwaye Witcher ayilunganga kakhulu kuloo nto.

Lo mboniso ubonakala umhle, kwaye imveliso ayinakulinganiswa, kodwa iiseti ezinkulu kunye nezilo ezoyikisayo ezinkulu kuHenry Cavill ukuba akhuphe idlozi ayenzi i-fantasy behemoth entsha. Kuzo zonke iziphene, Imidlalo yeethrone wayenengxabano eqondakalayo ekuqaleni, kwaye lo mboniso… awenzi njalo. Ungandivi kakubi, zininzi iingxabano, kodwa akukho nanye kuzo evakalayo.

Nangona kunjalo, Witcher iyahambelana Imidlalo yeethrone ngokwegraphic, iyahlekisa ubundlobongela kunye neqashiso lamaqhina kunye neempundu. Kukho udlwengulo kunye nokulala kunye nokuphoswa phakathi kwezinto ezininzi zokugcina izinto, ngoko… kukho loo nto, nayo. Yonke le yinto emangalisayo, kwaye ubunqunu kunye nobundlobongela bunokuxolelwa ukuba umboniso, okanye uGeralt, uthathe izinto kancinci kancinci kwaye wagqiba ngento eyimeleyo.

Witcher Ngokuqinisekileyo uzama ukuthetha izinto ezinentsingiselo. Kukho ezinye izikweko ezizenzekelayo malunga nobukoloniyali kunye nokubulawa kwabantu bemveli… kodwa andiqinisekanga ukuba umboniso uhlala phi na phaya? Mhlawumbi u-pro-colonization? Kukho izinto ezimalunga nabasetyhini kunye nesini kunye nokukhubazeka nako, kwaye konke kuyarhabaxa kwaye kuyingangamsha kwaye kudidekile njengomboniso wonke. Imiba yobuhlanga kulo mboniso, kwakhona, yanele isithuba esipheleleyo. Ayilunganga.

Andiqondi ukuba singabiza umboniso uphumelele xa kudideka igama elihlala liza engqondweni. Ndihlonipha umnqweno weNetflix wokungonakalisi izinto, kodwa masithi ababhali be Witcher benze ukhetho olukhulu ngendlela ababonisa ngayo izikhokelo zabo ezintathu, kwaye ngelixa luhlobo olunomvuzo xa ufumanisa, ukukhokela kuyamangalisa kwaye kuyaphazamisa ukuba eyona mvakalelo ndiyifumene njengombonisi yayididekile, ingekuko ukonwaba. Kuyafana nakumboniso womyalezo ongaqhelekanga kunye nabalinganiswa abasweleyo.

Mhlawumbi olu luhlu luya kuba nengqondo kubantu abafunde iincwadi okanye abadlala imidlalo. Mhlawumbi baya kukuvuyela lo mfo ukhathazekileyo onobudlelwane obungaqhelekanga kunye nehashe lakhe. (Ngaba ihashe lakhe nalo alifi, btw ???) Kodwa kum… luhlobo lwesiphithiphithi. Okwangoku, ndifuna ukuhlala ndibukele, ukuba kungenxa yokuthakazelisa ukubona ukuba yonke into iya kwenye indawo kwaye ukuba ngaba iingxaki zinengxaki. Witcher sele ihlaziyiwe ixesha lesibini, kwaye mhlawumbi ngelo xesha iya kuqala ukuba nengqondo.
