Why did /tv/ hate this? Gone through it all tonight and it's kino.
>>221344281The one thing I really hated about this series was the suspenseful sounding score that literally was just like some horns reversed over and overEverything else was fine desu 4channel loves to hate things but I like sci-fi and I'm not watching the chink version it's crap
>>221344281
>>221344350>the chink version it's crapit was better, you're a slophound for preferring netflix
>Why did /tv/ hate this?It has women and a black guy in prominent roles.Add a little bit of good old fashioned contrarianism and there you go.
>>221344365fuck netflixching ching noodle fuck you tiny
>>221344281The stupid boat scene with the thin wire made me laugh so hard that I threw up.
>>221344420Contrarianism? This show was pure ragebait trannysm >>221344364
>>221344281I tried to get into it and it felt soulless. No hooks.I'm sure it picks up, but I just don't care or have the time to entertain ayy bs anymore.Ayys is just space metaphysics for boomers.
>>221344281This whole story (book and TV series) is normies first experience in cosmology and particle physics... that's why they are in awe and feel it like a life changing experience.
>>221344281Agreed OP. It is just a fun sci-fi show with a good sense of scale. It is slop, but it is good slop.
>>221344281Chinese one is better
>>221344281It’s a strictly worse adaption of the books
>>221345225Worse than the booksBetter than the Chinese adaptation
>>221345083Wrong It's just half interesting drama with a half decent science fiction backdrop I like the books, and I'm pretty sure the books were the author sending a coded message to the world given the weird fable shit in book 3, but the shitflix version is tranny ragebait
>>221344281Because the book series is really good and they dumbed it down beyond recognition in the series, changed the entire cast basically, and not only that but the cast is unwatchable and their relationships to eachother entirely unbelievable. The best parts of the first book were either scrapped or given about 5 minutes of screen time. Phenomenally disappointing.
>>221344281Nobody has watched this, or even ever heard of it.
>>221344364>Oh yeah? Well how about I design this dick in your ass?Bam, pregnant.
>>221345392>and they dumbed it downThat's every book adaptation. If the audience were smart people, they would read the book.
>>221344281The book was written as an allegory for chinks invading and destroying the west and falsifying scientific data. The tv show obviously misses the point to be a vehicle for the genocide the book is opposing and for needless gore porn.The books are really disgusting as they are from the mind of a bug person.
>>221345439The entire point of the book was to be a poignant thought experiment, it has nothing else beyond that. And I loved the books.
I'm almost 100% convinced that this was weaponized propaganda against the Chinese for creating a memorable sci-fi franchise. There's no other explanation for why they would make it so terrible.
>>221344281i loved the bookis this worth it or they made everyone trooned and black?
>>221345392First book is the worst book desu.
>>221345796Don't bother, it'll just make you mad.
>>221345796It's nothing like the book at all and everyone is a woman.
>>221344281Woke raceswapped garbage that flopped
>>221345246Chinese one doesn’t change all the characters to be various types of browns so it’s better by default
I hate speculative sci-fi that relies on "math" physics. Future generations are going to laugh at us for believing this shit.
>>221344281The chink version was better and also far, far more faithful to the book.
>>221344281I only know of this series because I stumbled upon a ricecel seething online at an Asian woman I know IRL for dating white guys. He was very upset that the characters weren't all Asian or some shit like that.
>>221344281I hated it because I read the books and the show completely misunderstood the assignment.
>>221345988The clue is in the name anon. It's science *fiction*, not science fact.
the cancer actor sucked the life out of every scene. fat tarley was a stupid character. the black dude was a random black dude. old man on boat is retarded. every other male was an idiot or a bully, while all of the strongest characters were women. the main 2 women were just annoyingly right every single time.i dont mind girlboss movies but i dont need a not-so-subtle lecture on feminism and why women are the best at everything. its annoyingly unrealistic.
>>221345439>>221345392the show didn't get that the focus should have been on the story, not on the characters. Trying to make it some thiller was also stupid.>>221345867while that is true, the only smart thing the show did was to mix up the books as required by the story.
>>221344364>lead researcher>doing metastudies holy kekarino
>>221344281The ayylmao backstory was kino, but it progressively got more retarded. No I didn't know the original story nor did I watch chinky version. I will do neither now because the story is retarded.
>>221346048It may as well be science fantasy, or science magic.
>>221344364oh man, they really showed them. I'm gonna post about this on reddit.
>>221346048It's not even hard sci fiJust bullshit that can't be derived from what we know already
>>221346184> science fantasy,That's a genre, just like soft sci-fi and hard sci-fi, where the story replaces magic with tech.
>>221346263Yeah, thanks for saying nothing.
>>221346275jfc you're retarded
>>2213462633 shitty problem is magic
tencent version is more faithful to the book and less woke. but the netflix one is more entertaining.
I'm only watching to see the Doomsday Battle and the Dual Vector Foil
>>221346275Just because you're an idiot there's no reason to get upset when it's pointed out to you.
>>221346301>>221346329I seem to have upset the YEAH BASEDIENCE enjoyers.
>>221344281>Season 2 will only be 6 episodes>Season 3 will only be 5 episodesthen it's over
>>221346380It's not even science, it bullshit>muh sophons>muh dimensional folding There are actual good sci fi books that are backed by real science
>>221344281>awful casting>woke as fuck>changes from the original>worst leading woman everhonestly, i could get over most flaws, but this has to be the worst actor in any higher budget show i ever sawthis bitch cant act, and has the emotional range of a dead fish, turns every scene into instant 1/10
>>221346514the heckin' REAL science!!
>>221346514> >muh dimensional folding There is plenty of science supporting the idea reality has extra spatial dimensions.
>>221346514Omg real BASEDIENCE! Totally not fictional and has real actual practical application possibilities? Definitely not some mathematical abstraction and concept built upon other purely mathematical foundations?!?Heckin' look how smart i am for reading this book!!
>>221346602Yeah, string theory, which has contributed nothing to our understanding of the universe despite being researched for half a century
>>221346620You better not watch any tv or films that feature the multiverse, time travel, FTL, aliens, sentient ai or nanotech too, because those are all unproven as well.
>>221346665(That's why i called it science-magic)
>>221346680String theory doesn't say anything about folding the dimensions And it sure as hell says nothing about siphons
>>221346712You really haven't understood the concept of speculative fiction have you.
Season 2 is going to be 6 episodes, and Season 3 is going to be 5 episodes btw. It is going to be utter shit.
>>221346842True. The Chinese version of season 2 is still in production and is supposedly split into two parts, 26 episodes each. Though you'll need to wait until 2028 for that.
>>221344281I love the theme song for this show desu. I hate that they shortened it massively after the first episode. It is supposed to get you in the mood.
>>221346914the chinese version is soulless garbage, an incredibly literal adaption that shows how uncreative the chinese can be, like if you translated a book from english to chinese while not even adapting the idiomsnot that it makes woke garbage better
>>221346514>muh real le science! wowza!holy reddit
>>221346944> the chinese version is soulless garbagewtf?! Did we watch the same show? Just compare the Ye Wenjie character. In the Netflix version she's just a granny who swears while in the Chinese version she's the main character with complex motivations.
>>221346944>actually adapting the work is uncreativeHoly fuck kill yourself.
>>221346740somehow i don't enjoy reading a sci fi book that takes itself too seriously while has no basis on concrete science that we know as of today. Andy Weir work follows relativity with extreme precision. Greg Egan wrote his Orthogonal by creating a whole universe from scratch based on a new 4-space (++++ as opposed to our +++-).>>221346960>>221346542Yeah, man.... i'm le hecking real science reddit basedboy whatever you want to say.
>>221345796Worse, much, they took all of the protagonists from all the books, made them into Friends-tier college buddies, then proceeded to tell the whole story in chronological order, meaning Death's End concepts alongside Three Body concepts all before any Dark Forest, making the narrative completely nonsensical. It would have worked better if it was labeled "A 3BP story."
>>221347034it is when done so literally and strictly going to an entirely different medium i’m guessing you have autism by how you ignored my point
>>221346526Only good acting she can do is acting cute after having what is probably a god tier plastic surgery turning her from a 6/10 to an 8/10Though the bog has not crept in yet.
Some interesting ideas but a shitty plot that degenerates as it goes on
>>221344281i would watch it if netflix didn't take 5 years between seasons.
>>221346020>faithful to the bookshut the fuck up you fucking retarded bitch
readthebooksfirstThis isn't some kind of plot-pointy narrative you can adapt visually like Harry Potter or Jurassic Park.This book saga IS unironically what the high IQ Rick & Morty reddit post was describing.Books II & III are the best modern fiction (not just sci-fi) I've ever read, period.They are the that good because they make your mind return again and again to trying to understand, trying to visualize, the bonkers physics being described.Why the fuck would you willingly delegate away your pristine imagination to a cheap studio to depict it for you shittily?Find one person who says any of the adaptations are better than the books, and you can't Read and enjoy the books first; watch and laugh at the show second--those are the steps I'm following and you all should too.
>>221344350the chink version is kino and they let the ye wenjie plotline actually develop so her being an evil piece of shit is even more impactfulthe netflix version is full of superficial drama shit and that fat retard from game of thrones being his usual fat retarded self
>>221344364The Asian chick is believable for her job, but no fucking way a chick that looks like the other one did all that
