The Witcher TV series White Wolf's appearance was criticized for being too similar to Raiden in the Mortal Kombat movie

Today, Netflix released a short video showing the appearance of Henry Cavill's White Wolf in the TV series "The Witcher". Although it has won the support of many fans, it has also received a lot of criticism. Many players compared the TV version of the White Wolf with other popular characters, including the elf prince Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings". However, the most foreign players compared him to Christopher Lambert, the actor who played Raiden in the movie "Mortal Kombat".

In the movie version of "Mortal Kombat", Christopher Lambert's Raiden does not wear a hat like in the game, but has long hair. From the comparison above, the two are indeed somewhat similar.

Raiden from the 1995 version of Mortal Kombat:

Here are some comments from foreign netizens:

Wait, is this Geralt? I almost didn't recognize him. I thought it was test footage of Christopher Lambert as Raiden from the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie...

I saw that video and I thought it was Raiden from the Mortal Kombat movie? Jeeze, that wig is so fake...

Is this Geralt from Netflix's The Witcher? I thought they bought an elf prince Halloween costume, or maybe they professionally COS'd Raiden from the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie.

In addition, netizens noticed that Cavill's version of the White Wolf had no beard this time and Ciri was still very young, which means that the first season of Netflix's "The Witcher" TV series should take place in the early stages of the novel story.

Netflix's "The Witcher" TV series is scheduled to be broadcast in 2019. The first season will have 8 episodes. The cast list is as follows:
