Part 6/11:
Throughout the trailer discussion, mockery extended to the dialogue and character arcs. Comments pointed out the overuse of “girl boss” characters—particularly Yennefer and other female warriors—wielding swords in heels, which critics argued was both impractical and symbolic of pandering to intersectional feminist tropes rather than authentic storytelling.
Fans also criticized the storyline focus on Siri, the young girl with elder blood, as repetitive and stagnant, reflecting a pattern of formulaic plotlines involving her being “important and under threat” season after season. Moreover, the original depth and complexity of Yennefer’s character seemed to be sacrificed, replaced by a more insufferable, one-dimensional version.
