First teaser of Henry Cavill in 'The Witcher' inspires glorious memes

Netflix dropped a Halloween surprise by releasing a very brief first look at Justice League star Henry Cavill in the TV adaptation of The Witcher video game.

But the real journey was not the 10 seconds of footage with no dialogue -- it was the memes we made along the way.

Cavill has the thankless job of being the live-action embodiment of a video game character. Which, in the case of Geralt, means wearing the most 1995 Dungeons and Dragons wig you've ever seen on a human man.

The jokes came in hot, silvery, and with the accuracy of arrow to the face. Namely, in how closely he resembles Christopher Lambert from another video game adaptation, 1995's Mortal Kombat.

The classic image of a young Mark Zuck even made its rounds again, providing a pretty photo-realistic recreation of the dork ass role-playing vibes from the clip.

Another hero went as far as to edit in some dialogue via a key piece of dialogue from the game.

Some even found a clear connection between the footage and a different silver-haired beauty from a fantasy TV show. Maybe The Witcher really will be Netflix's Game of Thrones?

So does Henry Cavill look like a poor man's Legolas? Maybe. But you know, at least this time his performance is being ruined by a practical effect rather than bad CGI mustache removal.

Man, this guy can't catch a break.
