The Witcher: Blood Origin
Warning ! raider forThe Witcher : Blood Origin !
WhileThe Witcher : Blood Originincluded many revelation , Netflix ’s prequel miss a prime opportunity with Éile ( Sophia Brown ) . One of the most crucial selling points of the miniskirt - serial was its power to elaborate the traditional knowledge inThe Witcherto create an engaging , original story . Of these , the show promise to deliver on the creation of the order of monster hunter and had the chance to do so with newfangled fictional character working in an entirely different world order , but it was n’t capable to go far enough .
Set 1,200 years before the outcome of the original show , The Witcher : Blood Origin filmedthe story of seven warriors resisting the rise of the elven Golden Empire after a takeover that belt down the elect warrior clans protecting three elven kingdoms . Among them are Éile of the Raven Clan and Fjall of the Dog Clan ( Laurence O’Fuarain ) , and as they have the most personal stakes in avenging the deaths of their peers , they are offered the opportunity to combine their essence with a monster ’s to become the first Witcher .

Éile Should Have Been The First Witcher
While the showdepicts Fjall ’s sacrifice to undergo the experimental process to become the first Witcher as stately , there ’s no strong reason that Éile should n’t have been allow to do so instead . Both Éile and Fjall were warriors inTheWitcher : Blood Origin with knock-down combat trainingand conditioning , so there ’s no reason that she should not have been able to survive the summons as well as Fjall . As such , Fjall ’s refusal to allow Éile do so is belittling and lays the narrative foundation in the series timeline for there being no distaff Witchers later on , even though both warrior are physically dependent to attempt the test .
Even beyond their physical potentiality , Éile would have made the better story selection for the first Witcher instead of Fjall . She was the first hero introduced inThe Witcher : Blood Origin , establish her as the focal point character who pulls the relief of the mould together . Structurally , this alone should have extend her tobecome the first Witcheras the archetypal leader who would not risk her followers for anything she would n’t attempt , with Fjall ’s intercession only lessen Éile ’s role with his interference . to boot , Éile has the firm motivation to try the risky subroutine , as she would not only be retaliate her kin group but the expiry of her sister by assassins .
The Witcher: Blood Origin Should Diverge From Canon
Some might indicate that Éile could not be the first successful Witcher inThe Witcher : Blood Originbecause doing so would go against the source material and the original show ’s canyon , where there are no distaff or bleak demon huntsman . However , The Witcherhas already show its aim to diverge from the original novel in season 2 . Because of this , the prequel serieshad the chance to go along these changes and further improve the source material by include more divers Witchers . If it had , The Witcher : Blood Origin would have given time of year 3ofThe Witchermore leeway to do the same , and , alas , the show ware this probability .
Prequels can be risky and intriguing for the opportunity to spread out the narration of a series retroactively . Making Éile , the original Witcher could have updated the show ’s universe to better fit the times , amend the show as a whole . The Witcher : Blood Originhad a chance to build on this strategy with Éile but waste her competency and intriguing character in favour of the traditional strength - free-base , white manlike goliath Orion seen in Geralt ( Henry Cavill ) and Fjall .
