Date: March 16th, 2024 4:49 PM Author: diverse silver native rigor Reviews seem to be an even mix of “this is a masterpiece” and “confusing nightmare that spends way too much time discussing physics” which means they adapted the book correctly.

Date: March 22nd, 2024 12:34 PM Author: At-the-ready pearly den love of her life Watched the first episode and thought it was okay. Yes they DEI'd it for Netflix, but other than Wenjie none of the characters really needs to be Chinese. It is actually easier to keep characters straight when not everyone is named Bang Ding Ow, Ho Le Fuk, etc.

|
Date: March 23rd, 2024 1:00 PM Author: At-the-ready pearly den love of her life Two episodes in and it's still okay. They are moving very fast through the material. I gather Netflix's 8 hours cover all of book one and parts of books two and three, whereas Tencent's version spends ~22 hours just on book one.
Characterization is by far the worst part of the novels. Most characters are just plot devices and half the time the author literally has they say shit like "Hello [insert random character], I am now going to explain several important factions and concepts in this world for the next 20 pages. Please do not interrupt me." So I don't have a problem with an attempt to rewrite the characters to try to give the audience some real people to root for/against. I do think it is a bit silly to make everyone a single friend group like How I Met Your Mother. The books draw in a bunch of characters from around the world and make it feel like a story about humanity. This is more like some Avengers shit where all the critical people on Earth share three apartments in London. |

Date: March 23rd, 2024 10:56 PM Author: At-the-ready pearly den love of her life Episode 3 is dogshit. Pacing is bad. Using San Ti is a retarded choice and I assume it was mandated by China as punishment for showing some Chinese people as bad guys.

|
Date: March 22nd, 2024 12:42 PM Author: diverse silver native rigor I was talking about this with a friend of mine who also loves the books like I do. Basically the show gets the tone right and follows the broad strokes of the books plot wise, but the characters have all been changed from the book to a point that they’re completely unrecognizable. Book fans are going to hate this, but if you can turn your brain off and watch Netflix sloppa where you forget the books exist the show is probably pretty good
I can’t do that so I will not be watching |

Date: March 23rd, 2024 8:56 AM Author: azure station I thought the first episode was really good. I was pleasantly surprised. I love the books but hard to adapt the material. No missteps or cringe dumb shit so far. I like the decision to convert the novel principals into Oxford 5 plus Indian chad military guy, the the luo ji and xin cheng actors are good . The guy that plays da shi is good. The fat guy from game of thrones is good. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5505097&forum_id=2#47518882) |

It will be interesting to see how Yun/Downing stays in the story , or if he does. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5505097&forum_id=2#47524204) |

The books are a hard sci-fi treatise that read like Wikipedia articles and sometimes there are some characters who do things in between the author (who is a nuclear engineer) screeding about protons or nuclear bombs in space. |
