This hilarious anecdote about ‘The Witcher’ explains why everybody compares it to ‘Recreation of Thrones’ – BGR

Even earlier than we noticed the primary trailer for Netflix’s The Witcher, we have been calling it Netflix’s Recreation of Thrones rival. Netflix and the showrunners may not recognize all of the comparisons to what is perhaps one of the best fantasy present in TV historical past, despite that atrocious remaining season, however that’s what The Witcher truly is.

The Netflix sequence that was launched on Friday got here at simply the correct time. Thrones left a vacuum which many want to fill, and The Witcher is perhaps one of the best candidate to do it. Season 2 is already within the works, and we would have many extra if they’re as well-received as the primary season. However we’re not going to inform you how good the brand new Netflix sequence is — we’ve already executed that over right here. As a substitute, we’re going to inform you a hilarious story that completely illustrates why everybody’s going to check it to Recreation of Thrones.

Redditor BeneficialSand shared this after convincing his girlfriend that The Witcher is a Thrones prequel:

I used to be watching the primary episode of The Witcher on Netflix. My girlfriend was sitting subsequent to me semi paying consideration whereas she surfed Instagram on her cellphone.

In the course of it she requested, “So wait… how does this tie into Recreation of Thrones?”

Unsure if she simply occurred to see somebody evaluating the 2 exhibits or learn an article about future spin-offs, however with out hesitating, I simply responded, “He’s like Dany’s great-great-great-great Grandfather… earlier than they took the Targaryen identify and based Fort Rock.”

She’s like, “Ooooh, okay… yeah, that’s what I assumed.”

Now she’s pretending to know what’s occurring.

That’s implausible, and proves that many individuals who haven’t essentially adopted all of the Witcher information this yr may mistake the present for Recreation of Thrones. That’s not a nasty factor, but it surely goes to point out simply how massive Recreation of Thrones was. It’d take some time for Netflix’s personal epic fantasy to get the identical recognition.
