Reply to comment by ArcherGorgonite in CD Projekt Red and Netflix just ruined the Witcher IP. by [deleted]

Replaced Henry Cavill with Liam Hemsworth

Edit: Seeing as some people are having issue with this comment, not saying that Netflix forced out Henry, it is well known he left on his own accord after not being pleased with the writers behind the show, but it was Netflix’s idea to instead of coming to agreements with Henry or stopping the show instead replacing him with Liam Hemsworth.

Was also just trying to clarify what OP was likely referring too to this comment.

They didn't replace him, Henry quit on his own.

I'm pretty sure Henry was the one to step down from his role. It's not Netflix or Reds fault

Never said it was. Stated what happened because you asked.

Edit: Also Henry has said numerous times how he was displeased that the Netflix writers for the show weren’t staying true to the source material and not doing his character any justice.

I asked "how so", in response to that they ruined the series. Clarification is key.

Yes, and I answered. OP is very likely talking about the fact that Henry has been replaced by Liam because of how Henry wasn’t pleased with the writers of the show not staying true to the source material and not doing the character of Geralt any justice so has decided to no longer player the character.

Imagine asking a question then getting angsty when someone gives you the answer.

The OP clearly said that they ruined it. I'm asking how.. I hope you can understand that. And Henry stated he is leaving to play superman again.
