Benioff and Minute Weiss are Dumb and Dumber, as proven with the last two half seasons of GoT. I honestly hope they accidentally fall into a vat of boiling oil and stay alive for as long as possible. Their destruction of that well loved show deserves the most severe penalties, like: NEVER WORKING AGAIN producing anything. But this will make them disappear for 5 more years too. Ffs, who's penus (sic) did they suck to get work again, seriously... If you want to watch the real show, though subtitled because the Chinese made this the right way already: Three-Body (Chinese: 三体) is a Chinese science fiction television series adapted from the novel The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin Look that one up. I enjoyed it until the unsatisfying end...
having just read the book.. the level of scientific jargon to convey these are "smart people" is about on par with the book. So pretty accurate to the book.
I can't believe not a single person on the set, on the crew, or the editing team didn't say anything about giant way overdone lip injections and how they look so silly you can't take serious anything the character says. I was waiting for a scene saying the character was recovering from a massive bee colony attack, with a world record number of stings to the lips.
However the GOT producers even managed to mess up three body, which is a fully complete novel, unlike GOT, they messed up by making up their own story and not following the book plotline, which wasnt finished yet by the author.
I really disliked the pretty girl. There was nothing to her character other than being pretty and she seemed to whine a lot for being one of the supposedly foremost minds.
3 body problem is a pretty complex book so im not surprised it didn't translate to the screen well. in an age where people love to throw around the term "media literacy" the actual amount of thoughtful interpretation is so... limited these days
There is a chinese TV-show from last year produced by Tencent that actually does a decent job. It's not great but it was much better than the Netflix version.
Pretty sure 'media literacy' as they use the term, just refers to their insistence that you swallow and believe their propaganda. It's an euphemism for believing bullshit.
It seems like they took things from the book that were actually pretty smart and logical and then made them stupid for TV. Like, the aliens communicate by light pulses so they have no concept of deception. And in the book they study to try to understand this and use it against humanity. But in the show they just go "Lying is a thing that exists?! I don't need to hear more, screw you!"
@@dars5229Yeah that was so incredibly lame, almost the worst scene in the show. The Trisolarans don't trust us because we're warlike, fast at scientific development, and because it's not worth risking their continued survival regardless of how we get along. They wanted a planet in a stable orbit that supports life, they didn't need to know anything else about Earth before they decided on global genocide.
It's not a faithful adaptation of the books. The aliens can see and hear everything, that's why the wallfacers have to plot in their heads. Their plans can be carried out after they're dead, or they can be cryogenically frozen. The wallfacer program is one of many strategies and tried and abandoned. The wallfacer plans do overlap, one can obviously impact the others. It gets abandoned and chalked up as a failure but later reactivated and does end up working as a detterent ultimately thanks to one good idea. The staircase project is a gamble that aims to establish contact and learn about the aliens. The aliens abandoned the traitors because they didn't think they needed them anymore and they fear being lied to. Humanities armies get pummeled, and the milky way gets falttened by another race altogether, we don't exactly "win". The aliens don't want to blow up our nukes and wreck the planet because they want to live here which is made clear in the book and the show to be fair, their own planet is doomed to end at some unpredictable future time, because of the 3 body problem. The charcaters were changed from the book significantly, Auggie is a male Chinese applied physicist and the protagonist of the first book, instead of the insufferable snarky mexican super model with the constant pout that we have to put up with in the netflix show. There are plenty of other changes, too many to get into, they fucked it.
Yes, they had to take a chinese series of novels full of chinese characters and sell it to a non chinese audience. And there already is a chinese three body problem series out there as well.
@@user-lp1fj3ny9v I watched most of the Chinese show aswell, it was a bit too long for me at 30 episodes and a bit weird to watch. I'm in favour of making changes when adapting for TV in general, and you really have to with these books, but the Netflix changes were shit. I can see from the comments here that people had a lot of the same issues that I had. The charcter changes were poor and typical of Netflix, apart from Wade. Auggie especially was insufferable.

People should stop acting like everything sucks now and that bad writing is some new phenomenon

I stopped at the bar scene near the beginning when I saw the blonde being rude because you know how they are 🙄 and I said “watch some idiot white guy will interrupted them and try to pick them up.” And right on cliche, boom, there he was but their intellect scared him away. I was done.
Yeah, I don't get, why they put such blunt bs into everything. Those "feminists" are on a revenge trip and not interested in a change. Change would mean, evolving. What they do is just immature.
I mean in the book they definitely couldn't.. at first. They communicated through light, so all their thoughts would be broadcast for anyone to see. No concept of lying at all. Obviously, thanks to learning about lying from humans, they adapt.
They can't lie, yet one goes out of its way to say it's a pacifist from their species. Kind of an odd way to ID yourself if you don't comprehend the concept of misdirection/lying. I haven't read the books but perhaps the aliens who initially responded aren't the same ones on their way to Earth.
We'll start fro where that you are not the benchmark of genius on earth and everything true is not a parroting of your points. In a similar way humans are not the benchmark of intellect and every othe intelligence in the nature does not have to operate in a similar way. In terms of computation deception is a very costly operation for all involved parties equally so in terms of energy preservation it is very irrational especially when the environment makes the cost higher.
They are a species that can't hide their own thoughts from each other and evolved to think collectively via telepathy. How would they know what lying is??
@cptrelentless80085 Metal Lords? They served as exec producers, Weiss I think was the writer, but they would have had little if any creative input as producers
Well, nothing can go wrong because nothing went wrong because the show came out a week ago and is great and everyone likes it. Am I missing the joke? Is this channel supposed to be some kind of satire? Everybody here sounds like an npc grifter buzzword lingo bingo card.
Yep it made sense there, here they never explain it, also they make the stupid scientist lady feel all bad about her invention being used to kill... when all those people on the ship were traitors to ALL humanity, who want to help aliens come and kill everyone.
It’s supposedly because they literally dont know who/how many people are on board - but infrared scanning and regular surveillance would discover this - and all I could think is that the HD would never survive or be found after the ship is cut up - how did they possibly find it?
In the books, the sophons are limited in their ability, they can't affect everything on earth at the same time. They are only there to fuck with any advanced physics research to prevent theoritical physics progression.
Worst part is they fucking show it as the computer manipulating particle accelarator results, but they don´t explicitly say it so it seems it can do fuckall.

It’s really funny you got this impression. In the book, the alien is a metaphor of usa/west who is a looming threat against China and is blocking the science developments of China.
In the book, the wallfacers are put to cryosleep and woken periodically to carry out their plan over the 400 years, if i remember correctly. They will have no doubt censored a lot because the book was written from a very chinese perspective with some aspects and views that go against the sort of politics Netflix would approve of.

@@RealReaper The sophons in books cannot hack electronics, they can only affect sub-atomic level particles and at best trigger some 1 and 0 in a computer chip, not possible to attack all electronics
17:29: The series it not a faithful adaption. There have been made many changes making it worse. For example: 18:25: The sophons are not overpowered in the novels. They can spy and manipulate collision experiments, but not inferfere with the macroscopic world at all. They certainly can't hack electronics and don't unfold over the Earth. In fact the second book even calls both out to be stupid. 18:42: Exactly what happens in the books. The universe flickering happens in the infrared spectrum, so only a single person with special glasses sees it happen. The message "You are bugs!" is only displayed with sophons to a single room of people. No sophons unfold over Earth. The aliens don't care about impressing bugs and prefer to rather let scientists go crazy without anyone believing them. The series tries too desperately to impress and too less to actually set up and explain. For example: 15:42: They won't as there is hibernation. But it's not even mentioned and only crammed in out of nowhere in a single scene before. 15:56: Because in the novels you do already know a lot about the aliens. Again most of it was just left out.

Even promoted! It’ll take a serious felony charge for them to get fired or no work.
I laugh at anyone who complains about modern tv. Its been absolute trash for a decade now. Same as 95% of films & music. Our society is creatively bankrupt.
More like everyone at the top is creatively bankrupt and anyone with some kind of original idea is pushed away and never given the opportunity because the top says so.
12:26 the sophons cant disrupt all of science just molecular science. Thereby making the results of the experiments to be random which in turn makes it impossible for that branch of science to move further
The 'millenial' cast are so diverse and so dull and self centered and UN-qualified to save the world. It makes the books characters more 3 dimensional than ever.
Just to quantify what a mess this series is, some budgets: Dune part 1 - $165M Three body problem season 1 -$160M Godzilla minus one - $15M So for the same amount Netflix could have almost made Dune, or made the best godzilla film in decades ten times over. Instead we got special effects that would be bad in dr who, soap opera character dynamics, and one or two neat scifi ideas (which I assume all came from the novel) but were almost entirely buried by the ludicrous plotholes and idiotic character actions.
You are aware the reason Minus One had such a small budget was because the animators and staff were heavily underpaid and overworked, right? If everyone involved was paid properly it would be a lot more than that. Even then, the director himself said that he wishes the budget was $15 million so it was even less than that.
@@lepidoptera9337 I don't doubt there was some love in making the movie but I would think most of it would be extinguished from the long working hours and tight deadlines. Perhaps you're joking around but the japanese film and animation industry isn't exactly incomparable to a sweat shop.
@@SwiftNimblefoot but the San-ti have no interest in doing that as they abandoned them because the concept of lying threw them for a loop or they simply had no furthur use for them.
Sad but true. One point though, I don’t buy the aliens not understanding metaphor, seeing that their primary means of communication is a VR game that is a METAPHOR for their own planet’s problems. They say they can’t abide lying, yet their represent their own form as a Ninja lady, which is clearly meant to conceal and deceive, which is… a LIE. Also calling humans bugs is another metaphor. And none of the smart people in charge realize this or call the aliens out on it…
a metaphor is a representation of the truth. lying is to misrepresent the truth. the representation of a ninja lady is like presenting a picture or translating themselves into a 'language' that the humans understand. if i translate a language your don't understand into a language that you can comprehend, does that mean i am lying to you?
@@leeroynaggins both elements are present in the red riding hood story. the fairy tale itself is a metaphor or to be more precise an allegory. however, the actions of the wolf by disguising itself as the grandmother is a lie or deception to 'misrepresent the truth'. i have to say the line of dialogue by the scriptwriter where the San Ti said the story is a 'lie about a liar' is wrong. the scriptwriter got too cute pushing the hyperbole too far. it is an allegory about a liar.
Their use of a VR game as a metaphor doesn't necessarily mean they understand or engage with deception in the same way humans do. Instead, it can be viewed as a form of utilitarian communication, the same way a professor might show students a video and ask them questions to impart an idea. The ninja lady is also a form of utilitarian communication. The same way gore is censored to prevent disgust. When asked why they used that form, they told the truth. Same with censorship. A black bar over nudity doesn't deceive you that there is no nudity. The aliens eventually DO learn to deceive in book 3 of Li Cixin's book. Lastly, calling humans bugs is arguably not a metaphor. It could be a literal evaluation of human life from their perspective. And it's a learned term from a human anyway. They did not come up with that metaphor even if they didn't mean it. In the book, the aliens are incapable of deception, not exactly metaphor, although it has a hard time understanding metaphors, they are capable of using them in conversations. Which is why they understood the "joke" that Ye Wenjie was saying, was not a joke, but a method to defeat them. And why they immediately knew Saul had to die. I think the writers mistook the alien's incapability of deception for incapability of metaphoric language. Which was not in the books so a lot of parts seemed contradictory.

@@MakanaTheCoder and another problem in the ship, evens don't have time to escape(in tv show,he has enough time to broken all the data) he just be sliced without sensitive time
I watched the whole season and I have to agree. It was very slow and uneventful, full of gender- and race-swapped characters as usual, some added unnecessary feminist crap like the bar scene or by the insufferable latina, anti-human sentiments, a communist becoming a humanity-traitor of course, a black female UN "world leader" which has been an agenda detail they've used in 3 shows only in the last few months (Invasion, Monarch, 3 Body Problem), the only white men of the friend group died, the dumbass plan of retrieving a HD by putting it in danger of being sliced into pieces along with the entire ship... It's also such a lazy tease and a cop-out that the aliens basically said they were disguising their true form for our sake. How could they know their true form would be too frightening? And they were coming to conquer, so what's the point in disguising it for our sake anyway? The alien-loving, injured woman who managed to CRAWL out of the building unseen with people all over was also stupid. I can forgive some stupidity for the sake of "there wouldn't be a show otherwise" if the aliens were so smart they didn't make mistakes... It was just that when it all added up, it was not a great package. It was too boring for its own good.
The wire cutting scene is pulled directly from the book and is explained in the book as the only way to kill everyone fast enough to make sure the HDD can't be erased or destroyed while not hiring the HDD. On the book they calculate where the HDD is on the ship and how much space you need to give it clearance
I thought this was the coolest kill scene on a ship since the movie Ghost Ship. It was epic.. I liked the show.. too many haters out there looking for a reason to be annoyed.

"The writer just wanted a hyperviolent scene" Bro it was in the fucking book maybe look at the damn source material before jumping to the conclusion that it was ruined by the people who adapted it
the whole point of the scene was to kill everyone onboard the ship without alerting anyone otherwise they would destory the harddrive, but becausethe writers wanted to show lots of over the top violence, their entire plan falls apart as johnathan price is alerted to the attack and is able to get his hands on the harddrive, and the only reason he doesn't destory it is because the rest of the plot wouldn't have happened.
*spoiler* the aliens never arrive and the solar system is destroyed by another species, a few humans survive. Now you don't have to embarrass yourself by reviewing bad adaptations of classic books.

@@ExpertContrarian crazy cause that was the only cringey woke scene in the show, I’m glad I got passed that, I still find the books superior to the Netflix adaptation but it wasn’t bad at all, the show peaked at episode 5 with some good build up throughout. Wasn’t boutta let politics and wokeness ruin a show for me. I just ignore shit like that in shows, but I can understand why you would drop it just off that scene, it’s hard to ignore when they shove that shit in front of our faces all the time🙄
@@KingDingDong69 pretty crazy that you think having standards is crazy. That is most definitely not the only thing anyways. It’s the entire show as you can tell by the cast. I don’t see what’s crazy about being against hateful ideology. Not to mention the nonsensical plot that I thankfully missed out on
