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.
I greatly enjoyed the books (although I didn’t find them as “life-changing” as some 3BP fans I’ve seen online) and as faithful as the Tencent version was, I definitely found it a slog. There are reasons why you need to make some changes when going from one medium to another.
That being said, I feel like the Netflix version will go to the opposite extreme.
