After The Witcher, Henry Cavill lost Superman as well. Fans were still feeling bad for the actor, when the prequel to The Witcher just landed on Netflix. Before even the release of the series, fans were against it because Cavill had already left the show. Now that the series has finally landed, are they even giving it a watch? Are they seeing the series for what it is?

The Witcher has huge cult followers throughout the world. The way the British actor has justified the larger-than-life character, fans are not ready to let him go. On the 25th of December, The Witcher: Blood Origins landed on the streaming giant. Despite the series taking place in the same universe as The Witcher, fans are not excited, nor are they talking about the series itself. All they want is for Henry Cavill back to the show.

Fans are still mourning Henry Cavill and his Geralt of Rivia

The writers mocked the source material and deviated widely from the original plot, and The Tudors actor didn’t like it at all, which is allegedly the reason for Cavill’s exit. Meanwhile, the showrunner hasn’t revealed the reason for the departure of the Man of Steel actor. But fans have their ways of speculating and connecting the dots. Now that The Witcher: Blood Origins released, they are now not happy to see it. Some of them even don’t want to watch the series as a revolt against the show makers.

Others are just sad for their Geralt as they will not see the same face from the fourth season of The Witcher. Fans even say that when you don’t follow the books/games and follow whatever is important for the series, it ruins the franchise.

Fans are insisting on following the original books and source materials to keep the authenticity of the plot. Because they haven’t followed it in the prequel, they didn’t like it.

This one didn’t like the writing nor did he like the characters. All over, he didn’t like the show and remembered the Witcher who had left the show.

While watching the prequel, this user realized he didn’t like it. Well, he thought, Cavill just saved himself.
