Luo Ji doesn't show up in the first book, I misattributed some of Wang Miao's stuff to him, my mistake.

~~I just read some reviews and had a look at the imdb page - not looking good. No Luo Gi? He's basically the main character.~~

~~Classic dumb & dumber production. David Benioff and DB Weiss are the 2 chucklefucks that took a massive dump on the last few seasons of GoT. How are these hacks still getting work?~~

Yeah, he was who we followed but was he really a character? I deeply loved Three Body Problem but my only critism was that the charcters were kind of cardboard cutouts with thin personalities. But that didn't matter because the concepts, physics and ideas in the books were so dang interesting.

No clue if this adaption will work, just that I can see a version with basically none of the original main characters still working. Just gotta wait and see how this all plays out.

~~IMO he was absolutely a character and his actions are pivotal at several points in the plot of the trilogy. They could've written a better personality, but literally removing the one guy who is there at every point in the plot?~~

~~The characters are definitely thin in the books, because the books are more about worldbuilding and sci fi concepts than characters and plots. My expectation is that this will be fucked up in all the same ways the Foundation series is fucked up.~~
