Others felt that Hemsworth was not an important issue. “There are showrunners and writers. That’s why you lost Henry in the first place. I’m sure Liam can deliver this line well,” he said.
Critics have also lamented Cavill’s absence. ,Henry Cavill She was the best thing about the show, and in this final season, it struggled without her,” IndependentNick Hilton wrote in a paltry two-star review,
Sarah Dempster was stronger in her criticism, writing Guardian“Hemsworth is as charismatic as Bollard in a wig.”
DiversityHowever, Aramide Tinubu said that “although the voice is not exactly the same… the change is mostly seamless.”
Tinubu had a more clear understanding of Hemsworth’s character. “As the hardcore monster hunter becomes increasingly attuned to his emotions,” she said, “given the slightly more emotional nature of Geralt in the current time frame of the story, the distinct difference between the two actors makes even more sense.”
