'3 Body Problem' Clip Has Fans Divided Over New Netflix Adaptation
The series is drawing closer but fans are not getting any more optimistic that it will live up to the novels.
Too Advanced
Exactly what I was thinking. Not to mention race swapping.

Fans wondered why the VR technology in this scene was so needlessly advanced. For the purposes of the plot, a modern headset would have served just fine and been more faithful to the books.

They split that character into 5 different ones and we will be seeing it from different viewpoints.

The characters in this scene are not directly analogous to characters in the book, and many fans are worried about what that will do this story.

I hope David Benioff and D. B. Weiss do not mess up this novel like they did with Game of Thrones Season 8

Fans' responses to this clip emphasized how much Benioff and Weiss' reputation has changed in the years since Game of Thrones came out.

But you can't see it because, once again, they filmed it too dark.

Fans joked that the lighting and visibility problems from later seasons of Game of Thrones are already present again here.
prevnextCompletion
This show has so much potential if executed correctly. I'm especially looking forward to a certain event from the end of the 2nd book 💧 (assuming the show isn't axed in classic Netflix fashion). If you know, you know.

The fact that this adaptation is being handled by Netflix has some fans nervous as well – they worry the streamer won't finish the series if the first season doesn't perform well within a narrow window after release.
prevnextOther Adaptations
To everyone who is excited in welcoming this adaptation, I really suggest you to watch the other adaptation first. That version is one of the best series in 2023. Here’s my review: https://t.co/N7ZOVQQimY

Finally, many fans took this chance to spread the word that The Three-Body Problem has been adapted before by Chinese creators. Netflix's 3 Body Problem premieres on March 21, 2024.
