The comments sections of YouTube videos are notoriously negative places, though there are rare moments where kindness can be found. This is one of those cases. It seems like most people who watched Netflix’s “Shadow and Bone” Season 2 teaser trailer were impressed with the casting of Patrick Gibson in the role of Sturmhond, aka Prince Nikolai Lantsov.
User @imaginarygrant said “Patrick was so well cast he’s clearly done an amazing job as Sturmhond/Nikolai,” and @artisticbean4945 echoed this sentiment, adding praise to the other cast members featured, too. Perhaps the funniest response came from @marygimnastika350, who made it clear that they were happily distracted by Gibson’s physical appearance. On Twitter, TV writer Shelby Elpers retweeted the official “Shadow and Bone” account, saying, “Paddy Gibson is the PERFECT Nikolai Lantsov.”
The best thing about fans’ general response is that, were Nikolai real, he would totally eat it up. Depending on how socially plugged in Gibson is, he might be taking a victory lap himself. It’s no spoiler to say that the Ravkan prince-turned-pirate enjoys attention wherever he can get it. Sure, he possesses a sharp tactical mind and all the other qualities one would hope to find in a potential leader, but the guy’s ego could eclipse the sun itself. Fortunately for Ravka, Nikolai knows when to put his duty first.
