Liam Hemsworth's Unlikely Stance as Geralt of Rivia: The Struggle is Real in Season Four
In a shocking move, Liam Hemsworth has taken over the iconic role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill, leaving fans and the cast to pick up the pieces. The stakes are high, as Geralt's character arc is fraught with responsibility, loyalty, and – quite literally – a wig that doesn't quite fit.
The new season picks up where its predecessor left off, with Geralt on a quest for his adopted daughter Ciri (Freya Allan) and entangled in the world of politics and magic. The plot thickens as Geralt navigates treacherous landscapes, forges uneasy alliances, and confronts foes that would make even the most seasoned warrior quail.
One thing is certain: Liam Hemsworth's portrayal of Geralt II is a far cry from Cavill's brooding, charismatic take on the character. Gone is the gruff likability, replaced by an awkward, stilted performance that makes one wonder if Hemsworth is trying too hard to compensate for the unfamiliar role.
The result is a jarring tone that veers wildly between somber drama and goofy, Saturday-morning-adventure fare. The dialogue can be clunky at times, with characters spouting lines that sound like they were ripped straight from a Game of Thrones script. And don't even get started on Geralt's accent – poor man does his best to muddle through, but it's like he's trying to speak a different language.
In the end, The Witcher season four feels like an exercise in catching up with a character who has lost his footing. Will fans forgive Hemsworth's less-than-stellar performance and accept Geralt II for what he is? It's still early days, but one thing is certain: this unlikely stance will be watched closely.
Rating: 2.5/5

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple." - Oscar Wilde I'm not sure if Liam Hemsworth's performance as Geralt of Rivia has ruined the show for some fans or opened their eyes to something new. For me, it feels like a bold experiment that didn't quite pay off. The tone swings wildly between serious drama and lighthearted moments, making it hard to settle into. Still, I'm curious to see how the season unfolds and if Hemsworth's take on Geralt grows on me 
he's got some good points, but like, his performance is all over the place 
one minute it's super somber, next minute its like hes trying to be a kid again 
but liam hemsworth is trying hard to make it work 
and im all about supporting the new guy 
and henry cavill's one. its like, they're two different characters or something 
but still kinda confusing
here's a lil diagram of how i think the season is gonna go 
️2.5/5 stars 
he's trying too hard to be brooding and stuffy like cavill, but it comes off as forced 
the dialogue can be super cringey at times and geralt's accent is all over the place 
i mean, the guy's got some great action scenes, but when it comes to acting chops, he's just not there 
Liam Hemsworth trying to play Geralt of Rivia is like me trying to do a backflip on my skateboard 
, I hope she gets her own spin-off soon 
. Liam Hemsworth's got some serious acting chops to bring in Geralt II, hopefully next season he'll find his footing 
. Cavill set the bar pretty high with his brooding vibe, and it's hard to shake off that feeling when Liam comes in with a different energy 
. The accents and dialogue sound a bit forced too 
. I mean, the dude just took over as Geralt of Rivia and it's like he's trying to play catch-up with himself. The brooding charm is gone, replaced by awkward stiltedness... it's like watching a fish out of water on land 
.
. Maybe Liam can find his footing in this role (literally) and make it work, or maybe we'll get a new cast member altogether 
we can judge together and see if liam can pull off geralt 
let's hope for the best, but 2.5/5 is pretty harsh 
. The accent is all over the place, the lines are clunky... it's just not quite right, you feel me? 
. And that accent? 
. 
. Not bad, but we need to see some improvement 
. And let's be real, Henry Cavill's Geralt will always have that extra oomph 
Here are the season four viewer numbers so far:
12.5 million viewers worldwide in the first week 
$1.2 million gained from merchandise sales alone 
)
, he's gotta make a tough transition to such an iconic role and it's just not happening right now. The tone of the show feels all over the place too 
it feels like he's still finding his footing (literally, with that ridiculous accent)
