The Three Body Problem trailer for the new Netflix adaptation is out. I must say I am very skeptical of this one. This being one of my favorite books I have my doubts that they will do it justice. I’m sure it will be visually interesting and everything, but that’s not really the point. Especially not for book 1.

I recently watched both the Tencent live adaptation as well as the animated adaptation of The Dark Forest and sometimes I feel like these books were better left on paper. The live show wasn’t bad or anything it just has a different feel to it on screen that’s hard to understand.

Warning: please refrain from posting book spoilers in this thread. General discussion is fine.

    Well what they adapted from the books was good, the problem came when there was no more books.

    But I agree, not a lot of confidence. Worst that can happen, I’ll be surprised for the best.

      Well, GOT was a Western novel being adapted for TV to suit a Western audience. I fear what they will do with 3BP, given it’s very Chinese centric mindset. Even the English translation of the novel had to move a few chapters around to make sense to us.

      That’s totally fair! I just still feel so burned on the ending of GoT lol and The Remembrance of Earth’s Past is my favorite Sci Fi series so I died a little when I heard they were adapting it.
