Finally. I have absolutely no idea who these guys are, but it's nice to be able to visualise them in the roles at least.

Dunk and egg is a great story, but I'm going to need to see who is producing/ directing.

Its going to need to have a strong 'Witcher' style vibe. Its a comedy, much more so than GoT.

I agree with the sentiment, but I hope it doesn't go too hard on the Witcher vibes. That show, was...well not good.

There's a very narrow line that I hope they can tread that both tells an engaging and interesting story whilst also keeping it fun and approachable. I think the Witcher failed to walk that line.

Witcher ... yeah, no thanks.

I mean the vibe from the game as in the dunk and egg story is pretty lightheaded and doesn't take itself too seriously, in an otherwise very serious universe. it's written as a bit comic.

They look great. As long as that child is precocious and that man is tall. Loved this story and I hope it is done effectively.
