So Netflix made the science of the book 5 minutes (it’s basically half of the book almost) and moved everything to a western setting from China, reducing the Chinese cultural revolution part as well to a short intro. And from this episode it’s book 2 who knows why the rush. Of course they needed to be political correct : girl boss main character, black character, etc.. They talk about Chinese censorship a lot. This is under western censorship not lightly. The irony is a thing. The Chinese tv adaptation is capturing the book faithfully. It’s on UA-cam. Quite funny. The ship scene is not really an important part of the book, it’s the ending scene of it. Yes, it concludes there but it’s not the scene what’s horrible the decision is. What they turned back is: the book is not about the action it’s about the decisions before the actions. And the implications of the actions. ☝️ Even the solution of 3-Body Problem is shorter here. This video after just shows how much they don’t understand the task they should adapt. That’s why we need authors like Neil Gaiman’s Sandman who knows it. Not them who blow up Game of Thrones ending… They didn’t need any bloodshed to be dark. What we did to us in the past made the book dark. Then what she chose in the Chinese scientific institute too. Then people do choose to follow her. That’s dark. And here is the end of the book 1. Science is stopped. We lost. They won. No spoiler: this is not a positive series. It’s not building on humanity’s strength. Dark Forest is the title of the next book…. It won’t end better. And that’s the name of the next theory, after Three-Body Problem. Netflix: they made a version where you don’t have to worry about using your brain cells… the book was too dense? “Let’s translate it for our viewers who we think are dumb.”
Yeah, I think watching a lot of the inside the episodes they talk about how much they changed from the book and shifted the story, characters, a bunch of stuff a lot. One of them says they hope it will encourage more people to read the books. I will probably try to find the series on Audible first, it's just easier for me to listen to the audio versions, but I'm definitely interested. I was actually worried that it my be too far over my head, when I started the series, but it's definitely made at more a laymen's level.
@@venusbrownreacts I would check on booktubers what they say about the audible. This is translated by Ken Liu for you. (I read a lot in English but a translation? I read it in my native language.) And I didn’t hear anyone yet who used Audible here. Told you: this is science heavy and not character focused at all. And not female character focused totally. A lot said it’s not writing good female characters hence the censorship. Actually it does but they are Chinese characters. The female characters are not big mouth “I’m the boss” types but silent one. Surprise: not the western culture is the center of the world and this is Asian. But it doesn’t matter at all. It’s not about some heroes. The characters should represent their decisions or the state of humanity in the given situation/century etc…. Because now the time will go fast…. As for changing things… of course they had to, different media formats. But then again: good examples are One Piece (the story itself is changed on some bases but in a way that the moral lesson etc are the same) and the mentioned Sandman. It’s considered faithful adaptation no matter Neil Gaiman’s changes, and that includes skin color, gender change too. ☝️If you didn’t watch that? Do it. With Dead Boy Detectives those are one of the best Netflix’s adaptations. And as Audible Neil’s Sandman comic has a very special audiobook adaptation too with multiple readers. He took care of that too. So you change things… but there are smart ones and you fail miserably as you can see at Bladerunner. It’s the adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? And it became one of the best scifi movie yet it has a ton of changes from a well known author. The same author wrote Minority Report and no matter Spielberg and Tom Cruise they couldn’t make a classic movie we remember forever. They failed the adaptation. See?
@@nazimelmardi so in short words. you dont like the show. cool, dont ruined the joy for others, the show was amazing and everyone who react to the season love it every episode.
