Netflix’s 3 Body Problem has a new release date and a promising teaser clip to ease the wait.
I recently finished the trilogy and I’ve got to say… Even though this clip looks neat I’ve never had less faith in an adaptation of anything. Particularly with Benioff and Weiss at the helm.
Seriously? Who would let those clowns touch their IP after what they did to Game of Thrones
If GoT taught us anything, if they have Original Source MaterialTM to adapt, they do a decent job. It’s when they are left to improvise that things get awful.
I would get seriously more skeptical if the people in charge of Foundation got their hands on this adaptation tho.
For real - in a vacuum (ha), it’s… passable, but mostly just the parts that involve Empire… and it has to be mentioned that those additions were barely present in the source work. I find most of the rest of the storylines to be unengaging and nonsensical, and the entire vibe of the show series is substantially different from what Asimov was clearly going for.
of course it has to be westernized …
I mean there is already a Chinese adaptation
