G'day - shock horror, I'm comparing two things I love: Halo and Henry Cavill (I make no apologies).
Paramount's Halo series and Netflix's the Witcher both deviated from the source material, but one lead actor stood firm for the canon in spite of that.
Let's compare Pablo Schreiber's Master Chief and Henry Cavill's Witcher to see how it is possible to play a lore faithful character, in a non-faithful show.
Grab your salt shaker and join me on a dive that no one asked for, but is on brand regardless.
