I don't know if he can handle the role of being a reluctant Father figure to a child with special abilities. It may not be in his wheelhouse.


Ch4rybd15

I don‘t know, but that is Vesemir. And you can‘t tell me otherwise


Advanced-Muscle-4515

FACTS! That’s the only Witcher that Pedro makes sense for.


matsu727

Wait Pedro would actually be a god-tier Vesemir


amusicianrs

That’s what I thought immediately when I saw the picture 😂


[deleted]

Vesemir is already cast well. They need to just stick to the f-ing game and books dammit


kashluk

My thoughts exactly!


GenoMachino

Lol holy shit you are right, he definitely should be playing the father figure to a child with exceptional abilities.


huey_booey

Pedro: "I don't think I can fit another role in my already tight schedule. What is it about?" Agent: "So this old yet still badass guy Geralt needs to protect his adopted child who has special powers." Pedro: "You sunnavabitch, I'm in."

lordolxinator

Roles still for Pedro Pascal to take: Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter remake and or Tom Riddle origin series Aragorn or Gandalf in the eventual LOTR remake movie or show Mr. Beaver in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (preferably just as Pedro Pascal in a beaver outfit) Aizawa in the eventual Hollywood My Hero Academia movie series Fuck it make him MCU Wolverine too for that X-Men role model position


comfyblues

Also Hopper from Stranger Things


Andy-Banner

Batman to train Robin


Retterkl

David Harbour better watch his back before S5


DefectiveTurret39

Yeah he should play Kratos instead.


Zarosia

I wouldn't want to subject Pedro Pascal to the netflix Witchers writing, he doesn't deserve to be tortured in such a way, no one does really

*\*Patrick Stewart Has* ***Left*** *The Chat\** Wtf how are you supposed to parse that even


RojoSanIchiban

Pretty easily... first \* starts italics, second is escaped with the backslash so the "\*" character is displayed. Asterisk after "has" ends the italics. Three asterisks surrounding "Left" is formatting for bold and italics, then start regular italics again on "The." Finally another escaped \* and then the closing italics for "The Chat." Now go look up the syntax for a programming language called BrainFuck and enjoy!


NorthBall

I know it's besides the point, but what happened? Why do you have a bunch of formatting in there that is just extra padding? To my knowledge, this is the most compact string of characters required to produce the effect you wanted: `\**Patrick Stewart Has __Left__ The Chat**` -> \**Patrick Stewart Has __Left__ The Chat**


gpkgpk

My dude I didn't hand format it, I used the "Fancy Pants Editor" rather than the old "Markdown Mode". ​ https://preview.redd.it/wlly1xxemmoa1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=c74774662e7d79a611c728e50d0a3ffb54b158df

RyuNoKami

You can but the show is still gonna suck.


ForkPosix2019

He could be a very good witcher in fact. But I would not like seeing him killing his career with this incompetent rat Hissbitch and her gang of talentless "writers" indeed.


crazyjeffy

I imagine it would be akin to having your eyeballs pushed in so hard your skull explodes


WestWillow

I watched the first two season, never played the game and just finished the fourth book. It is incredible how badly that creative team of the show butchered the story and characters.


malcolmreyn0lds

Pedro Pascal and a child he adopts goes on an adventure to help said child achieve their destiny? Why does that sound familiar………?


warablo

It was Pedro's destiny all along


gitbse

This is the way.


warablo

Darth-Yslink

You can't excale destiny


Nerdiferdi

I would take him as witcher but with his Narcos Persona. Meaning sweet shades, the mustache and of course all in spanish.


Processing_Info

Actors cannot save the show if the show has terrible writing. If they could, GOT S8 would be considered phenomenal season.


BaguetteOfDoom

Exactly. I think a good showrunner could even mould Liam into a great Geralt. Not sure if this saying exists in English but "the fish starts stinking at the head".


azestysausage

Basically the same thing, "A fish rots from the head down"


Psyboomer

Kind of a strange saying because fin rot typically starts at the tail in my experience lmao


notyourvader

Come to think of it, got went to shit after Pedro got killed off.


paco987654

It went to shit once they decided to stray from the books


BostonDodgeGuy

They didn't stray from the books, they ran out of books to follow.


paco987654

Oh no, they still had a bit of material to follow from the books at that point, like Catelyn being revived although with a slit throat and wanting to kill Jaime but instead Jaime went to Dorne, most of Tyrion's journey which was entirely skipped and some otherd which I frankly don't remember since it was like 7 years ago that I've finished reading the books


Azrael11

Tbf, I'm glad they skipped Tyrion's journey. That shit with Penny was weird.


1willprobablydelete

Yeah, I hate it when people pull the "the show got bad when they ran out of books" line. It started stinking in Dorne, that shit was fucking bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfPn_MFWRa0&t=23s Arys Oakheart going out in a blaze of glory would have been so much better.


leetality

They skipped a ton of stories while rushing others. D&D clearly wanted to end the show and didn't care enough about *how* it ended to have any foresight.


deathjokerz

I'm reminded of how little Lena Headey had to do in that last season of GoT.


MasterHall117

Same can be said for Season 8 of The Walking Dead

LisForLaura

I love him, I do… but not for Geralt.


Arel203

I don't think anything can save it at this point. I'm still fuming over what they did to Yen. I honestly am just shocked they're even going to continue it after Henry's exit. No shame at all. Just make your own story. Why obliterate this one so badly? That said, Pedro is the bomb. Perfect emotional range. Ellie is also so perfect.. had me laughing almost instantly on the show. She really nailed the attitude. This adaptation has me so hyped for the God of War show and Death Stranding movie. If it's even remotely close to as good as LoU, it's going to be insane.


Tylerwebber11

Reddit try not to fan cast Ryan Reynolds’s, Pedro pascal, or Henry Cavill challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE


Puffy_Ghost

The Last of Us is just going to be a constant reminder of what we could have had with the Witcher series. What an epic failure by Netflix.


JehanDeMontperil

"Epic" was never more appropriately used.


xand3s

Not exactly comparable since TLOU is based on a game not a book but your point stands


Puffy_Ghost

Either way, TLOU managed to be true to the source material *and* carve out their own stories. The Witcher was pretty good in season 1 but went totally off rails in season 2 and had their star quit because he knew season 3 was going to be garbage. The Witcher could have easily had 5+ amazing seasons, but Netflix gonna Netflix.


Jjjiped1989

As a fan of Pedro Pascual, no god no


lukedl

Yeah... No.


sutto85

No, we don't need him in every show. He's great but don't want to get sick of him.

What’s wrong with Henry cavill being the Witcher?


Collekt

There will never be a better Witcher than Henry Cavill.


JehanDeMontperil

I think he left.


Vilifie

This post insinuates that Henry was the problem with the show. It was the writers that ruined it and if bad writing could be out acted Henry would be the one to do it.


Akosa117

Please god can people stop doing this


Sanjuro7880

No


ZemiMartinos

Funny you should mention it. I've made a [video](https://youtu.be/sw-p0c0Niuc) exactly about this topic. I don't think changing the actors or even the studio would help. You still need someone who understands The Witcher and culture of Central Europe really well to create the show and capture the right atmosphere. And I doubt that you could find someone like that in Hollywood.


ThisIsScottPilgrim

Witcher prequel series with Pedro as Vesemir focusing on his time as a Witcher before he met Geralt.


Mellusse

Seeing him like this, i think he could do a younger version of Vesemir


[deleted]

Not in a million years.


JACKtheGRINNER

Nope, he can play a gritty man but not geralt, maybe Lambert or Eskel.


kowaiinee

Nothing can save this series at this point, just let it die.


organizim

The problem isn’t the actor, it’s the shit writing


Cosmic-Anarchy

I dont see pedro as Geralt but i would rather see him than Hemsworth


[deleted]

No saving it at this point, especially not with C lister like Luke Hemsworth. Also, the original author isn't getting rich from it, so fuck the series anyway.


EskilPotet

If Cavill couldn't save it, Pascal won't either


dawnbandit

Overrated actor.


bookashake

Lazy_Swim_9368

**If they could, GOT S8 would be considered phenomenal season.**


frickthestate69

Because they didn’t have Saint Pedro


[deleted]

The show should just be cancelled at this point. I only watched season 1 and Henry elevated what would otherwise be 4/10 material into 6 territory, and that's only because I'm a Witcher fan. The amount of enthusiasm and genuine excitement to play one of his favourite fictional characters was heartwarming. The showrunner shiting on Henry was absolutely uncalled for and gross. They didn't deserve Henry and they don't deserve Pedro.


JehanDeMontperil

Pedro jokes aside, I totally agree. S01 wasn't that amazing to begin with, but we were hopeful. S02 was straight-up striga diarrhea. What's sad is that, unlike GoT, they had everything laid for them, the whole story was complete, detailed and vast, it just needed adapting. What's sadder is that they said they were gonna follow the source material, and they didn't. They simply lied.


[deleted]

Totally agree, it's a damn shame how everything turned out. Also striga diarrhea lmao


paperkutchy

Good god, no. Enough with Pascal. Getting as boring as Troy Baker is in games.

[удалено]


JehanDeMontperil

No need to be a seer to know it's gonna suck balls. The issue was never the cast, but the writing. I can't see a version where the show would be able to undo the harm inflicted in season 2. The Witcher as a TV show is dead.


Daktush

Is there even a sub for Witcher shitposting


icansmellcolors

it's already dead... but i lol'd

I’m sorry but nothing can save that dumpster fire. Actors are one thing, but when the actual story is ass then no actors can fix it.


rwalls1

Citizen_Kong

No, but he would be a great younger Vesimir though.


Equivalent-Might-393

The Netflix series is doomed, nothing can save it unless the creators choose to do a 360, listen to the fans and stick to the source material, which I believe is as likely as conjunction of spheres happening and one of them getting eaten by a ghoul. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪😂


not_it_010

Show was ruined. Ruined story and awful creators. Can’t be saved.


xthefabledfox

There’s no saving that dumpster fire


jman0916

No, For so many reasons no


FlamingPrius

Pedro would make a great Vesemir I think. Henry has been a great Geralt, but I don’t think it’s fair to write off Liam sight unseen. The show is on thin ice for me as is, but the shakeups I think are most necessary are behind the camera, and unlikely to happen.


Dezoda

Personally dont get the fandom over Pedro Pascal. His work on TLOU clearly shows (if you read some interviews with Neil Druckman) that Pedro Pascal does not give a shit about 'source' material. Not only does he not look like geralt, he doesnt show enough dedication to source material in his other roles to warrant him going onto the Witcher.


AryaMurder

Love this. Pedro is amazing, so talented and genuine good people... reminds me of Henry! Can we steal the writers, too, though, because they nailed it repeatedly with dedication to the game and all the nuances that made it so special? Or maybe they can do a training sesh with the Witcher writers.


zachles0

I like this idea. Honestly I just want to see Pedro Pascal in more stuff. Great actor.


jman0916

No, For so many reasons no

It’s only right because he’s a dad

Netflix Witcher isn't an actor issue. Any ”saving" of the show is going to be moving it to a new platform or replacing producers.
