He’s arrogant but charming, and he isn’t afraid to get involved when a mysterious threat arises, one that is later revealed to be a powerful mutated elf girl named Kitsu. He doesn’t seem to care about much besides killing monsters and getting paid, which is perhaps the ideal personality for a witcher. Vesemir’s introduction is quick and impressionable: he’s immediately established as being a witty and sarcastic guy, but he’s also a good fighter and knows what he’s doing. The slaying of the leshen and its subsequent usage of Old Speech (something related to ancient elven magic, I think) kicks off the rest of the plot, leading to surprising discoveries and battles among witchers, mages, and monsters alike. Right when the last surviving child is about to meet his maker, Vesemir steps in to save him. A noble family travelling through a forest at night is brutally attacked by a leshen, a terrifying shape-shifting monster that quickly massacres them. The film wastes no time jumping right into the gory action in the opening scene. The film covers a lot of ground, despite having a short runtime of only 1 hour and 23 minutes. The NotW film fleshes out Vesemir as a person, from his childhood origins and witcher transformation to his monster hunting adventures and epic battle against Tetra, a sorceress serving the Kaedwen Court.
He appears in a very brief cameo in the live action series, but we don’t have much background information about him otherwise. Nightmare of the Wolf follows protagonist Vesemir, a legendary witcher who will go on to become Geralt of Rivia’s mentor. A quick disclaimer: I have not read the Witcher novels nor played the video games, so all of my Witcher knowledge thus far comes from watching Season 1 of the Netflix series.
After a lot of hype and extensive marketing, Nightmare of the Wolf is finally here-let’s see how it compares with the live action series. From Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich comes the latest addition to the Netflix Witcher franchise, a brand new film titled Nightmare of the Wolf… and guess what, it’s animated!! With a lengthy gap existing between the releases of the first and second season of The Witcher, the Netflix live action adaptation of the novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, fans everywhere were surely eager for more Witcher content.
