I know that 99% of it is greenscreening but the shot at 0:29 is everything I hate about modern film.

Just impossibly clean, sterile setpieces left and right.

It's like the Disney Live Action remake vibe, but on the mega-cheap and applied to any popular anime they can license.

Honestly I read it last year and I think I need to reread it. It's a *sprawling* sci-fi story conceptually. There's so many cool ideas in there but it was not a very easily digestible book.

I know that generally people have no faith whatsoever in D&D but I'm very excited for this. The end of GoT left such a bad taste in most people's minds that they forget D&D turned in at least 3 great seasons of television when they had something to adapt and even when they didn't a couple turned out pretty good (Season 6 comes to mind).

The whole 3 Body series will require a stupid massive budget to complete so just like how I'm glad Apple is pumping money into a Foundation series I am happy Netflix is pumping money into this one. While the streamers still live I'm glad to watch them use hundreds of millions of dollars to adapt great sci-fi series.

I dunno, China adapted it on a shoestring budget. It looked like poo poo, but you don’t technically have to spend tons on it.

My bigger problem is that the book is kinda bad. People who weren’t familiar with the scientific hypothesis and theories it’s built on seem to love it for introducing them, which is fair, but the actual narrative and characters are pretty weak.

A thousand times this. I only made it a few hundred pages into the sequel before the imaginary waifu poo poo forced me to put it down.

If anyone wants an incredibly thought provoking first contact story written by an actual genius, I recommend His Master’s Voice by Stanislaw Lem

Yeah I don't know it things were lost in translation or what but 3BP was a slog to get through. And had some really hacky writing moments. I haven't even started the sequels because of how hard it was to get through... But I really did enjoy some of the swing for the fences sci-fi concepts. I am eager to see them onscreen and this is definitely something I think will actually benefit from being distilled down.

i made the mistake of reading them right after reading a bunch of greg egan books, which lead to me being slightly less impressed with the scifi and extremely disappointed in the pacing and structure. but i chalk it up to translation, im sure its better without the culture gap

The Netflix 3BP trailer manages to pull off the incredible feat of somehow both looking incredibly expensive and incredibly cheap at the same time.

i think there could be something in a one peice adaptation that is dp'd by zach snyder. just the ultrawide lens, everything out of focus look that destroys all possible comparison to the comics and leans into the digital sheen.

Someone on reddit commented that the original text is worse, according to them the translator toned down some of the worst imaginary waifu bits. The author apparently really likes to emphasize how 'youthful' or even 'childlike' his female characters look.

I mean, based on the trailer, all I can really guess is aliens? But I'm guessing I'm either wrong, or there's more to it than that.

It's not giving me much to go on other than that. The visuals look like pretty nonsense. I'm guessing because there's a VR world or something? Otherwise I don't know how a church on a lava hellscape enters into an alien story.

"Don't you want to know why they call me the Rhino"

not really, no

How is Sony so bad at this? Like, they're trying hard to make this look cool with some gore but there's basically nothing here, just a completely by the numbers plot for a boring character.

Hell, the version of Kraven they showed in the loving trailer for Spider-Man 2 on the PS5 looked a lot more interesting than this! This is literally them remaking Morbius but dumber and with more blood.

Also, between this and The Pope's Exorcist has Russel Crowe just decided "gently caress it, I'm only doing funny accent roles from now on"?
