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'm of two minds. I don't trust these two to do a good adaptation, but on the other hand I don't like the books anyway. So maybe that'll cancel out and something good will result?
I know the series is not everyone's cup of tea for totally legitimate reasons - there are definitely a few easy wins but I just think the producers will double down on the worst parts of the book and will screw up the best parts. We shall see!
