The Witcher Is Back within the Bathtub, and Feeling Fine

At this level, The Witcher franchise might be greatest recognized for the impossibly catchy tune “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” sung by the bard Jaskier (Joey Batey) to a visibly irritated Geralt (Henry Cavill). But earlier than that, it was definitely the scene in The Witcher III online game, the place Geralt takes a enjoyable, horny soak. Thanks to Nightmare of the Wolf, Netflix’s animated film prequel, the bathtub is again in a really particular approach.

Nightmare is targeted on the youthful days of Geralt’s Witcher mentor Vesemir (voiced by Theo James), again when he was a charismatic, self-absorbed, mildly infuriating, and completely badass warrior. He’s principally solely into killing monsters for the cash to subsidize his hedonistic way of life—a way of life that features a scorching tub, a bottle of wine, and a pleasant smoke. It’s a really fast scene within the film… which is presumably why Netflix determined to reward Witcher followers with an hour-long video of Vesemir in his tub on loop.

To be truthful, the scene isn’t practically as horny as Geralt’s tub within the sport, and the video doesn’t comprise the chic pleasure of, say, an hour of Baron Zemo busting out his dance strikes. However, it’s a enjoyable nod to the Witcher bathtub fandom, which isn’t a sentence I anticipated to be writing in the present day. Moreover, it’s sort of enjoyable to look at, particularly with its unbelievably easy “Toss a Coin” cowl. It’s virtually meditative, in a approach, to look at an attractive cartoon man slowly unwind from a day presumably filled with slaying monsters.

Frankly, the one downside with the video, regardless of how soothing it’s to look at, is that there’s somewhat a part of my mind that’s extremely jealous that Vesemir is getting drunk in a bath proper now and I’m not.

The Witcher: Nightmare on the Wolf is obtainable to look at now on Netflix.
