«I don't know why they made those choices and I'd love to have a chat with some of the writers about why those choices were made just so I can intellectually understand why,» he shared, before comparing The Witcher to HBO's The Last of Us adaptation.
«If you look at something like The Last of Us… [the show] followed the game narrative pretty closely, with some minor alterations. And, it worked wonderfully and fans of the games loved it and that's all good,» Cockle said. «The Netflix Witcher series, they had not only the books, but they also had the games, which slightly reinterpreted the books a little bit as well, and they also had the comic books, which again reinterpreted a little bit for the medium… So, You gotta give [the show] some room to grow, to be who they wanna be.»
Cockle said he enjoyed the first season of Netflix's Witcher series, although subsequent seasons «started to go down paths [he] didn't fully understand».
«I didn't lose interest… but I started going 'I need to restructure how I'm thinking about this show', because it's not doing what I expected it to do and I'm disliking that and perhaps I shouldn't… I should watch it and judge it on its own merits and leave the games and books over to the side.» He admitted this could sometimes be hard, especially for those who love a universe as rich as the Witcher's.

I want to preface this by saying I have a certain fondness for Bandai Namco's anime video game adaptations. Sure, the studio pumps 'em out like Dairy Queen and chocolate soft serve on a hot Phoenix day, and yes, very few of them are objectively great games, but there's a consistency to the way it makes serviceable interactive versions of beloved anime stories that I find comforting. For example, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a solid 3.5/5 that I happen to love simply because I love the source material, not because the game itself is anything special.
