ZombieLenin posted:There definitely is some truth to the critiques leveled by that review. Particularly when it came to the political ramifications of the conflict. Since most of the fresh water on Earth is probably full of garbage now and the economy of the entire planet is in tatters it might be a smart idea to NOT destroy and depopulate the area where people live and work to ship water and resources back to the Earth. The big game changer for Mars was the gates crashing their economic base via mass exodus, for Earth it was the rocks destroying infrastructure and population. Realistically speaking Mars and Earth can't really do poo poo against the Belt without loving themselves. Each faction in the solar system is now far more interdependent than they were before and not a one can survive solely on their own or dictate terms like before.

If they can't accurately depict human reaction to an event of this magnitude everything else in the story just collapses. Space battle tactical realism of belter bodies vs squats pales in comparison. I really don't think that going full on revenge assault is in any way realistic for Earth. This wasn't a 9/11 Marco did to Earth it was a full on 1940's German Style Holocaust attempt. Earth got hosed so hard that right now rebuilding and hanging on is all they can do. Y'all are acting like the fist thing the state of Israel should have done after it's formation was an immediate assault on the Germans who attempted genocide.
