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.
Yea, it is nearly word for word a 1:1 copy of the book. I think the parts in the 3 body game are the most fun.
However, they did leave out some of the violent parts of the cultural revolution. I suspect the CCP didn't want that on TV. They also have some rules about showing the deaths of "innocent" people so they changed some people from the books from normal people into murderers and rapists which is a bit weird.
