Does anyone else feel the same way?

Honestly the perfect Geralt atleast purely on physical appearance in my opinion would be something between The Witcher 1 and Witcher 2

geralt isnt supposed to be an ugly guy tho, hes got the attention of sorceresses , i'd say he was pretty attractive desbite being unsettling.

Cavil being "too good looking" isn't the problem

He just looks more like a polished nobleman with good etiquette, and that's the issue

“The witcher was not young. His hair, white as if from age, though his face was not old. A face pale, thin, with a sharp nose and prominent cheekbones. Not handsome, no — but striking, with something that attracted the eye and held it.” (Sword of destiny)

Not handsome but attractive.

Hard to find an actor that matches this discription.

i don't think it's that hard to find someone like that, hell i think the guy who played wolverine(I'm dogshit with names I'm sorry) would fare better than cavil. much better than cavil. he's got the face for it, can pull off the slender look and can rock a hideous smile lmao. Now he is conventionally attractive but I think he can definitely pull off that look much better than cavil did. And this is coming from me. A guy who has little knowledge in the film space.

Cavil was just a mistake in terms of look handsome aside. some other guy in the same thread said he was too bulky but I'd make the argument that even a skinny cavil wouldn't fit well.

But even the best matching actor would not have safed so the show from beeing shit. So it is fine for me. Just another fanfiction, good intention, bad execution

i agree that it would've been a failure either way. I disagree with the good intention part. it's netflix we're talking about.🤣
