Netizens have a mixed reaction to Hemsworth embodying the key character of the fantasy series. While some are willing to give Hemsworth a fair chance, most look unhappy. From a “Switcher” to spoof, they are not willing to watch the show without Cavill int he role. “I didn’t know how I’d feel but after laughing that hard I realized….. NOPEEEE not for me🤣🤣🤣
"Pass. Couldn’t even get the more serious looking Hemsworth? 💀 feels like a Spoof,” wrote a user while Cavill fans couldn’t miss him anymore. They wrote, “Henry Cavill is my only Geralt” and “Not sure how I feel about this. Henry Cavill was perfect for the role.” One wrote, “Discounted Thor playing Geralt. This already looks terrible.” Another commented, “He has big Henry Cavill shoes to fill.”
“Liam you're a good man but you're not him,” wrote one. “Cavill was made for this role, it will not be the same without him,” commented another. One wrote, “Sorry Netflix without Cavill we are not watching.” Another commented, “I'm sorry but I'm not going to see it, you had a 10/10 actor, you didn't want to listen to him, you put him aside and now you want us to see a mini thor? for me the saga ended when Cavill left, I'm sorry.”

Others said that it doesn’t matter anymore since the character is anticipated to have lesser screen time moving forward than other characters, especially Ciri. “Wannabe Witcher. Sorry he’s gone but glad Cavill isn’t involved in this farce anymore. It’s no longer about the Witcher. It’s the Yennefer, Ciri, Fringila, Francesca, Tissaia, Eithne power hour,” wrote one while another wrote, “New Geralt will only be in 25% of his own show DOA.”
