As the clock ticks to the release date of The Witcher

“There are no&#8230;.” &#8211; As Lauren Hissrich Defends Emperor Emphyr and His Actions and &#8216;The Witcher&#8217; Fans Have a Very Important Question

The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] 3 has promised an
intensification of the horrors that Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer will be met with.
Now more than ever, since they have come to the realization of how much they
mean to each other. But the previous seasons have already seen Geralt fight off
Basilisks, Ghouls, Kikimoras, Leshies. Each more dangerous than the other. And
in order to impress the audiences, which is proving to be extremely hard given
the exit of a certain Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/], creators are sending him their
greatest villain. Or so fans thought.

It was revealed towards the end of Season 2 that Ciri is the daughter of Emperor
Emphyr and that he is willing to turn every stone in order to find her for his
own vested interest. And while his vicious nature is clear as day, Lauren
Hissrich has chosen to put him on gray ground.


LAUREN HISSRICH TAKES EMPEROR EMPHYR’S SIDE AS HE LOOKS FOR CIRI

The cast and the creators sat down to do an in-depth interview with Netflix’s
TUDUM
[https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/witcher-season-3-henry-cavill-interview]
to talk about their characters and what awaits them in Season 3. And Hissrich
washed off all the good work Bart Edwards put in to make sure one gets a shiver
down their spine at one glance from the White Flame as she said, “The biggest
danger is that there are no good or bad guys.”



The Witcher creator even goes on to justify Emperor Emphyr’s dedicated search
for Ciri as “family is worth fighting for.” The water hits the roof, however,
when she compares Emphyr’s fight to find Ciri to Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer’s
fight to protect each other. “But suddenly you realize what he wants is his
daughter back. I’ve just said family’s worth fighting for. So isn’t he kind of
doing the same thing?” she says.

Explains the Exit of Henry Cavill

For those who have stumbled upon The Witcher on Netflix without any prior
knowledge of the Andrzej Sapkowski masterpiece that it is based on it is all
well and good. However, those who have played the game or read the book or even
watched Henry Cavill’s The Witcher interviews, can only find themself asking a
question to Hissrich as a reply to her own.


THE WITCHER FANS REACT TO LAUREN HISSRICH DEFENDING EMPEROR EMPHYR

Over the past two seasons, fans have come to gather that the series does not
plan to stick to the book word to word. Nor is it looking to mirror the slow
burn of Sapkowski’s book where it was revealed in the last book ‘The Lady of the
Lake’ that Emperor Emphyr is Ciri’s father as clear by the Season 2 finale. And
fans have compromised a lot, hoping that the digress from the source material
will culminate into a greater plot ultimately. However, to justify the intention
behind Emperor Emphyr’s search for Ciri as a fight for the family is absolutely
unacceptable to the fans.

Lauren Hissrich’s statement about Emperor Emphyr has served as a catalyst in
proving true a doubt that fans have had for a long time, “Has she even read the
books?“.

If a stranger to the books were to stumble upon the discussion, they would
reason Hissrich’s sugarcoating of Emperor Emphyr as her love for the character.
But when it is put into context, that said character is the one who wants to
have a kid with his daughter in order to rule the world, it becomes a pill
impossible to swallow.

The only conclusion apart from the creator of the show not reading the source
material that the series is based on that fans have reached is that Lauren
Hissrich has other plans for Emperor Emphyr. And this again is not putting her
in any good books.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
