Why The Witcher Season 4 Can Have A Truly Great Yennefer Story
It’s Finally Time For Yennefer To Shine
Yennefer of Vengerbeg is one of the most powerful sorceresses in the world ofThe Witcher, as well as one with a difficult past. Season 1 followed Yennefer’s struggles before she was taken to Aretuza, her transformation into a sorceress, her first meeting with Geralt, and her fight alongside her fellow sorceresses and mages to stop the Nilfgaardian army.The Witcherseason 2 changed Yennefer’s storyfrom the books and drew a lot of controversy, as, instead of becoming Ciri’s mentor and mother figure, she tried to give the Princess to the Voleth Meir to regain her powers.
The Witcherseason 3 fixed the show’s Yennefer’s mistakesby finally giving her her role as Ciri’s “mother”, but that didn’t last for long.The Thanedd Coupforced Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri to part ways again, and while this means they will continue to be separated in season 4, it’s actually good for Yennefer. Due to the events of season 3 and the changes the show made to the source material, what’s next for Yennefer post-Thanedd Coup will also have to change in the Netflix show.
10 Biggest Ways Yennefer Is Different In The Witcher Show vs. The Books
Netflix’s The Witcher has made a couple of changes to Yennefer of Vengerberg, and not all of them have been for the benefit of the character.
Atthe end ofThe Witcherseason 3, Yennefer begins to form the Lodge of Sorceress, which, in the books is created by Francesca. In the books, Yennefer learns through them of the plans to marry Ciri to Prince Tankred Thyssen of Kovir, which in the show could be changed to Yennefer discoveringthe White Flame’s plans. Yennefer is also captured and tortured by Vilgerfortz at one point and meets Leo Bonhart, who tells her how he captured and tortured Ciri. Later on, Yennefer and Geralt are captured by the White Flame, who offers them the chance to kill themselves.
However, what Netflix’sThe Witcherdecides to do with Yennefer’s fate is unclear, given how much it has changed her story already. Despite being a main character,The Witcherhas mostly wasted Yennefer, but now that she’s on her own, she can get a better and more complex story with the Lodge of Sorceresses, Vilgefortz, and more.
