and, again, if the show wanted to do something _different_, fine, love to see an Interesting Artistic Adaptational Choice. But they didn't! They're just like, hey look at all this great lore that Geralt and Ciri know about specific monsters and how fighting them with kindness and compassion and understanding is WAY more effective than random violence! except… 100% of that is off camera. nobody _else_ fights monsters with random violence, so there's no contrast.
