Some fans felt that Cavill left the story in an inauspicious place, with a seemingly tertiary scuffle with random soldiers as his final scene on the show. However, many commenters pointed out that this part of the show is very faithful to the books, and if anything was altered to give Geralt's arc more substance in light Cavill's departure.
Unlucky
First off, many posts referenced both The Witcher and the DC Extended Universe where Cavill played Superman up until recently. Fans felt bad for the actor losing his role as a superhero shortly after giving up his role as a fantasy hero.
Valid Critiques
Some fans acknowledged that there are many valid critiques of The Witcher Season 3 but said that it does not inspire good criticism online because so many outspoken voices take issue with the fact that a woman is the showrunner and that there are non-white people in the cast.
Squandered Potential
Many fans thought that the show was missing out on a lot of potential by losing Cavill. Many feel that this should have been the role he was best known for in the long run.
Unique
Fans praised Cavill's performance for the things that made it unique and seemed doubtful that Liam Hemsworth will be able to bring the same things to the table.
Other Roles
This week saw another surge of fan-casting ideas for Cavill in everything from superhero movies to fantasy shows, and even live-action adaptations of cartoons. Right now, it's not clear what comes next for the actor.
Cavill
Finally, some fans targeted their posts as Cavill specifically, hoping he would get a sense of how many viewers would miss him. The Witcher Season 3 is streaming now on Netflix.
