This is fucking terrible

I could have told you from the poster alone

>>211389175 (OP)
Foundation is basically unadaptable without a rotating cast and that's a big no-no in todays productions

It's shockingly bad but the Empire scenes (until the final reveal that le heckin robot was the true emperor all along) were kino. The two female MCs are like planks of wood with terrible performances to boot. Even Jared Harris gives one of the only meh performances of his career.

I haven’t watched but I’d he surprised if Lee and Jared didn’t deliver

Is watching the empire stuff exclusively worth it?

>>211389208
All posters look like this now

Kinda, they fumble the bag a bit in the end though.

>life as a sci fi fan in 2025
It's so bad I have to use Fantasy memes because there's no sci fi ones.
I can only rewatch Babylon 5 and, eugh, BSG so many times, bros.

I enjoy the Empire stuff, but the main protagonists are so annoying! I basically skip any scene with Salvor Hardin.

kekkkkkkkkkk

the empire stuff is decent the two women can go fuck themselves, they gave me serious 'naomi crying in space' vibes.

>literally no women in the books until volume 4

>>211389648
surely neuromancer is going to be decent.

>>211389860
I've repeated the phrase "Naomi crying in dark corridors" so often I wonder if I worked my way into your brain, or if this is a case of convergent evolution

>>211389648
Plundering the past is the only option now.
Watch Blake's 7, Sapphire and Steel, Space: 1999 and UFO.

>>211389175 (OP)
Lee Pace and Cassian Bilton are relentlessly handsome.

>my attempts to manifest space pirate kino into reality have fallen short
There's still time I suppose but usually when I set myself to bending reality I am more successful. Space Pirate kino just continues to be evasive.

>>211389175 (OP)
Nononono, you've gotta watch ONLY Imperium scenes. Absolute kino. I hope the fan edit already exists

>>211389175 (OP)

You don´t fucking say. Look, the truth is big movies, shows and games have to at least look as if they are being made for the lowest common denominator. That means ticking all the popularity boxes. It´s the same for every big show so your escape from Foundation won´t be that Dunc show everyone already forgot.

You can try with marginally "smaller" productions like Silo or Fallout but it won´t be much better. If you want something that´s even remotely more creative you move down a few steps. Go watch Constellation or maybe Hello Tomorrow or Tales from the loop.

>>211389411
Absolutely worth it

>>211389935
the entire way naomi acts in the show, but especially during the marco arc, is what keeps me from rewatching the later seasons.
i really enjoyed to books, and i guess there is at least a chance that the show gets picked back up in a few years. at least story wise a break makes sense.

>>211390025
That meme of the 9 kinoshots from the show, where 8 are naomi crying but then one is a cool battle for the gate really summarizes that show
So close but unfortunately it came during woke DEI era
Season 3 is kino though, full stop.

>>211390025
>>211390084
I watched the show recently and didn't mind her character at all. What's the issue? She's competent but not a girlboss, she fucks up and has flaws like any actual person does. Only after I finished did I vaguely remember seeing threads in passing about her ruining the show/the last season

There is sci fi kino you just have to put up with an extremely slow start (have faith and unironically trust the plan) and chinkery to attain it
I feel absolute pity for anyone who's first experience with this series is the D&D show. They fucked it so hard they make GoT season 8 look like a masterpiece. Do not watch the netflix show. Do consider the chink show if you can put up with a slower pace trusting that it is going somewhere.

>>211390154
Maybe if you watch the show after it aired all her scenes blur together, but imagine you're watching it live, you wait a week to see a cool space war, and then you're given an hour of naomi crying. Now wait another week to repeat the process
Absolute dogshit. Unbearable.

>>211389175 (OP)
yeah but it has browns in it, so you're racist for not liking it.

>>211390165
3 Body Problem goes to stupid places in either version. Can't stand sci-fi that basically devolves in to Magical Aliens from Planet Narnia.

>>211390246
Can't stand sci-fi that basically devolves in to Magical Aliens from Planet Narnia.
I feel like it's kind of the opposite of this
Sorry you dont like it tho

I still think this was a good trailer even though the show was absolute fucking dogshit

>>211390190
i will never forgive them for making her backstab the crew with the torpedo.

also i'm kinda sad that they didn't get to include my favorite part of the books: prax confessing and giving this emotional speech about his resistance, but doing it in a way that the guys don't understand what he is actually saying.

>>211390376
I never read the books, so for me the show just ends on all these major cliffhangers - THERE ARE SPOOKY RED WARP ALIENS! MARS HAS AN ALIEN SHIP! WAAAAR!!
oh by the way, this is the finale. lmao. eat shit

It's baffling beyond words. So fucking bad. Now I'm angry I wasted my time on that dogshit show when I could have just watched the space battles on youtube

well, season 3 was still kino. Whatever.

>>211389648
Most good scifi is unadaptable.

>>211390246
Filtered

>>211390462
you could always listen to the audiobooks of the later books.

>>211390469
I'm a simpler man than you, when I say sci-fi I mostly just want marines shooting at other things, be they aliens or space pirates. I will accept robots as well but prefer otherwise.
Conventional weaponry while we're at it. Particle cannons accepted on major ships in big moments or if the advanced faction has them.

>>211390509
>implying I don't have 300 listening hours on Audible while playing the Chinese OST at 5% in the background already

>>211390508
I love this meme, it's so specific and stupid and makes me feel less alone with my brand of autism. There are others. I realize how reddit this post is, I don't give a shit. Upvoted.

>>211390165
It’s fucking terrible.
The finale had them blow up the foundation planet but the “twist” was that they all got warped inside a hologram and were alive.
A piece of technology we had no idea could come into play in this universe.

>watch the Chinese version of 3bp
>during the Judgement Day scene, it was "censored" from the books where families and shit were on the boat, so you only see evil terrorists and mercs die
>I didn't know this at the time
>watch the American version
>suddenly see kids and people running and screaming and getting cut the fuck apart like it's a comedy movie, when I just came from the Chinese version that had Wang crying over the death of 3 evil merc dudes
I was not expecting that at all, shit hit real weird. I liked the chinese censored version lmao it felt way better.

>>211390462
i don't even remember what the show ends on, sounds like they spoil some stuff from the later books. which makes it even worse how they left it.

>>211390828
I think it ends with the speech about bugs, just more soulless than the Chinese version, and there is a LOT to unpack in all of that.

>complain about Hollywood not adapting enough classic sci-fi
>then they make this shit
I give up

>>211390867
i was talking about the expanse, i wasn't able to finish the american version of 3bp. the chinese was decent, but it really took me a bit to get used to how fast they talk and how fast i had to read the subtitles.
i wonder if chinese is a very information dense language.

>>211390940
Oh my bad
Expanse ends with them showing Mars has control of the alien powered ship or whatever, and also red demon alien things are attacking ships going through the portal
That's really all I remember. It was a major cliffhanger and they apparently never intended to resolve it.

>>211390732
I laughed hysterically during the American ship scene and my family looked at me like I was crazy.
They were trying so hard to make it tragic and serious, but it looked so silly.

>>211389860
>>211389935

In this house we say “Naomi crying for 45 minutes"

>>211389411
>Is watching the empire stuff exclusively worth it?
Yes and it's a superior experience to watching the full series, very good and the role Pace was born to play. Enjoy it.

>>211389248
you mean like I, Claudius?

>>211389921
Neuromancer is going to awkwardly shoehorn modern social commentary into a genre where the point is that corporatism has run so rampant humans have lost any sense of cultural identity and character. I will be shocked if the adaptation does not fundamentally misunderstand Neuromancers dystopia.

>>211389921

the issue with Neuromancer is that it’s been bled dry. Every other half-assed work of cyberpunk has borrowed from or looted from it.

>>211393081
THIS. Thank you anon.

>>211393081
Modern writers
>Ackstually the media literacy says that Neuromancer is about racism

>>211389175 (OP)
And not to worry, you will never see a season 3. At least they gave us Courscant original...even though its 4 times smaller canonically.

the lee pace scenes are great. but yeah otherwise it's pretty shitty

Then we located all your posts and threads, archived and new. The first dubs you got, the Bane post you gave your first (you) to. Your memes and co-posters, even those here in the thread. We located their posts and threads, basically anyone in your extended board. In short the anons that would remember you after you're perma-banned. Even as we speak every member of your personal constellation is under our surveillance, a range ban targeting each of their IP's. At my signal they will all cease to post.

>>211389175 (OP)
I don't think the writers had a solid foundation in writing

>>211389175 (OP)
Made me read the first 3 books and some other good shit later, and i haven't read a book in at least 20 years. that is the only good thing about the show.

>>211389688
>Salvor Hardin
i can't think of any way that character could be MORE opposite of the source material.

This part was pretty cool.

Don't watch the chink shit, don't watch the jewflix shit, don't read the chink books. They are all equal levels of awful. Three Body Problem is the most over rated book series of all time. If you think otherwise you are no different than one of those "AKSHUALLY" midwit redditors. Fucking kill yourself.

>>211390963
>Expanse ends with them showing Mars has control of the alien powered ship or whatever, and also red demon alien things are attacking ships going through the portal
this seemed like Doom until I remembered the later Expanse books. and then I got the ring builders and dark gods mixed up with the lions and tigers and bears, and also the returners and zero-homers.

what did we do to deserve this, bros? We were patient, we were humble.

Ringworld could work as a modern TV show because it has a similar tone plus there's a built in cuckening, which would resonate with everyone in the world but me. The stars my destination being adapted is the worst shit ever
