Elric
8/10  5 years ago
So I've have to say I've thoroughly enjoyed this, even though I kept getting interrupted. So I may have enjoyed it more if left alone.

I also enjoyed the ps4 game although I hear this was based on the books, which I'm not going to read but I will definitely go back to the game and complete it finally.

But I must say I had a very hard time reminding myself that I was watching Geralt of Rivia "The White Wolf" and his love interest Yennefer, and not Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné "The White Wolf" and his love interest Cymoril.
In which the latter was written 1st.

A complete rip? Maybe/maybe not, Influenced/inspired by Moorcock's creation? Most definitely.

Well the story lines may be a little different in places but the similarities in character looks as well as in many other aspects are uncanny.

I do have to say clearly it is very possible that two people could create two very similar ideas with very symmetrical visions. Even I myself have come up with ideas before that then one day I've seen someone make into a movie or show that felt like it were ripped straight from my head. But who knows, we probably never will.

Judge for yourself by reading the books, googling it or just wait for the supposed Elric series that's supposed to be coming out.
"Fingers crossed it gets a high budget and doesn't get put to shame by this one".

Oh yeah and if you're gonna play around with the whole time jumping thing please do give us the date or a better clue or something.
For example 1 min Geralt could have his renowned scar and the next min he doesn't have his scar, simple.
Definitely binge watch otherwise you might feel you missed an episode or think you forgot something.

And yes yes Elric is my namesake, thanx for that one Dad.......

@elric I absolutely agree with the time jumping, it is confusing, but you do get used to it eventually <br /> <br /> Loving it so far, even although I’ve zero knowledge of the books or games. <br /> <br /> And what’s wrong with the name Elric? Good call Dad ;) <br /> <br /> Ps. I have emailed you several days ago, it maybe in your junk folder :)
