I binged the original Three-Body this past week, drat that was good stuff. The dubbing of the English-speaking characters was hilarious, and the back half probably could have been edited down a tad tighter but still, A+ would recommend. Watching the Netflix version is like reading a Coles Notes, goddam do they knock down key plot points and character development like dominoes. If I hadn't watched Three-Body first then I'd feel really disconnected from a lot of what's going on in 3 Body Problem. I feel like Goldilocks, albeit the Netflix version is moving extremely fast whereas the original was only a tad slow imo. 3BP is about 440 minutes (8 eps, 55min per maybe?) of content I estimate, and T-B was close to 1450 minutes (30 eps, 45min per roughly?). Feels like a 'just right' version would probably be feasible if it was around 1200 minutes perhaps; I'll need to check out that anniversary edition whenever I decide to do a re-watch. Anyways, to avoid potential spoilers and hints I skipped reading the thread for now, so my apologies if these questions were already asked and/or answered. - I'm only 4 episodes into the Netflix version, and I saw a few comments that some content from the next book was included in 3BP. Is that accurate (y/n is all I need)? - If the above was a 'y', then would any book readers in the thread strongly recommend reading The Dark Forest before continuing 3BP? - Lastly, was the original Three-Body pretty much the same as the book, i.e. could I go from watching Three-Body to reading The Dark Forest, or should I still read through The Three-Body Problem first? Thanks in advance for advice & recommendations!

Yadoppsi posted:Perhaps you or some other readers of this thread would enjoy this fan made Supercut of Tencent's 3Body: https://disembiggened.com/ Honestly, there is a lot that needs to be cut from the original TenCent version imo, at least not in terms of whole scenes. Reducing 22~ hours to 6 gives the series the same awkward rushed pace as the Netflix version. I'd definitely recommend starting with the TenCent version if I knew someone was curious about the adaptations. I liked the chemistry between the actors portraying Wang Miao and Shi Qiang a lot, ditto the performances by the actresses portraying Ye Wenjie. A lot of posters commented earlier in the thread that the characters in the books lacked depth, at least the first book, but I didn't feel that way about the majority of the TenCent cast. Anyways, I'll definitely check out second seasons of either production.
