The Wizard: The Sirens for In-depth Comments
As the story progresses, the Wizard: The sirens in the depths are what you have heard before. It is indeed the best because the short story it is based on is The Witcher’s Book“Purposeless person, if he is adapted into a 90-minute animation play with his light hands, it will not work well. In this version, there is a deceptive man, a “monster” society, twists and turns, betrayal, redemption and Geralt has a lot of illness with his sword. You know, hero stuff.

Doug Cockle and Jaskier (Joey Batey) stroll around the territory next to it and make money, this is the beginning of Doug Cockle and cash, this is the well-documented kill Geralt It is impossible to actually just care about the disgust of creatures who care about their own business. So they agreed to give Jaskier a musical performance and morally avoiding the monster hunting that pursues Geralt.
There is a problem with the Kingdom of Bremer: the prince (people) is inconveniently obsessed with the princess (mermaid), which would lead to some dynasty planning problems if allowed to continue. Although the Kingdom of Merpeople and Bremervoord have been in a tense state of peace for years, it is all in danger as the human pearl diving industry further lingers on the mermaid territory while human ships are constantly under attack and Merpeople claims to be ineffective as perpetrators. middle.
As no story of stimulating tension between humans and neighboring non-human societies goes, Geralt meets in the center of trying to prevent war, as both kingdoms find further reasons not to each other trust. Jaskier’s childhood friend and fellow Bed Esdi Davin (Christina Wren) with his help, they translated the love proposal between the man and the mermaid monarch and tried to stop their respective People kill each other while determining who stirs the pot behind the scenes.
It’s a good story to draw from the original material apart from the context of Netflix’s growing wizard-adapted universe, drawing on independent adventures and the right amount of artistic license to use the material. By the way, it’s nice to hear the Geralt sounds from Doug Cockle, Doug Cockle, CD Projekt Red game, participating in a Netflix adaptation.
The choice of the story makes some mermaid society character designs, all of the torsos filled with g and fin ears with kelp-like round accents that look great but won’t try it in the live version. It has a large array of colorful undersea social sequences, ship warfare and a lineup of large marine monsters throughout.
Meanwhile, re-tuning the story from the original story (more below) means directors Kang Hei Chul and Studio Mir can lean towards many flashy battle scenes. All Geralt’s spinning hockey and aerial acrobatics in swordsmanship are just trying to get animation in animation and do some indulgent first-person Geralt Pov shots in larger battles. If you are going to animate Geralt, of course, you should take this opportunity to make him a superhero, thus doing bad stunts without messing up his Pantene’s perfect hair.
One flaw in the overall production is that this feels a little flat for the short musical digital parts due to some weird mixed choices that leave the volume range of the vocals and accompaniment. What I’ve collected, is essentially illegal, don’t let Joey Batey throw at you in the first season of the live action show, part of Joey Batey’s singing after Joey Batey’s wizard moment after the first season of the live action show , but “Sirens of the Deep” did not throw him away much.
Deep’s siren also briefly provides verbal service to Geralt and Yennefer’s relationship, although the reimagining of the relationship between other characters makes Geralt feel like a residual limb about her independent story about her. At this speed, without Geralt’s brief nightmare, we might have done that, explaining his fall with the witch lover, who has no real appearance in the story and is easily accepted with Essi The adventure dance around him is not his first to him or his first or for the yen.
Consider the source
Just as Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story was a bit sacrificed, The Siren in Deep is a story about Hans Christian Andersen in a way The improvisation of “Little Mermaid”. In Sapkowski’s work is often a smirk of fairy tale direction, Netflix’s adaptability folds these references in a more promising tone.
Overall, I found that the Netflix adaptation itself missed the wizard’s true sense of humor, instead using Jaskier as a relief for the comic with implicit laughter. But in this case, Jaskier’s sacrifice is almost a lot by just rereading a little sacrifice ba dum tshh– Level lines in text.
Deep’s siren displays a lot of reimagining and reshaping the characters, though primarily to tell a more coherent overall story. Those who have read The Sword of Destiny will notice that the adaptation features a prince and princess across the stars, rather than a stupid duke and proud mermaid, and the kingdom side of the story, with only a little sacrifice. hint. It spins with its own motivation to the victorious asshole son of the throne. It also imagines the backstory of Jaskier being a little boy in Bremervoord, so Essi could be Geralt’s lover with him, rather than another barely 18 girls, leaving the wizard to lie in the bed with the wizard.
These changes in Geralt’s Geralt attempt with Essi may actually be the biggest, as the original story took relatively little time on monster hunting, while in Geralt Geralt used this young bard to fumble more about the bag, which made them both not careless rather than a deep siren. Depict. Ultimately, sacrifice is a tragedy, and Geralt witnesses a doomed love story, an unfair love story, a political party that another person is reluctant to join. His emotional belly button watched as he reconnected his relationship with Yennefer as the story immediately restored their dedication to Ciri and the fate that bound the three of them.
Call me a non-believer, but a more literal explanation of some sacrifices is not the content of a feature-length film worthy of calling studio Mir. The version we get here is a complete idea in itself, even if “heroes forcibly negotiate peace between neighboring societies” is something we can almost beatther by foot.
This story is a story that was missed by design – Geralt and Jaskier go to a town, we can never see a resolution of the conflict again, there is no direction, and the war in the Northern Kingdom will never Back to the help of the plot characters. But, at the same time, it is an independent and satisfying story, as a story, the second animation carefully choreographed by Geralt in all his glory.
