Fuck David Benioff and D.B. Weiss forever

Fuck you Netflix, and finish the OA

I literally laughed out loud.

The star walked away and did "Murder At The End of the World." She has a small but pivotal role and directed three of the episodes.

The star always wrote the show with her cowriter zal. She also wrote all of murder at the end of the world.

Is there really any reason then to view this series if one's already watched the Chinese version? I thought that one was pretty phenomenal, and felt like the Netflix version couldn't possibly compare

[-] sudoreboot@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago

I preferred the Chinese version. Hollywood's take didn't have the same atmosphere and the pacing was weird.

They never let you soak in any particular moment, time, or place. Every little plot line or detail that could be cut, was. It felt to me like a very long tldr or a string of trailers glued together. So many trailer-style corny one-liners.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some parts that were actually enjoyable, but I feel like I wouldn't have missed out on anything had I not watched it.

Thanks for the detailed reply! Those were basically my assumptions, but good to know from someone's opinion I feel I can trust. Definitely gonna skip on it and keep waiting for Tencent's season 2. I'm so hyped for the next book 🤩

Oof I'm beyond hyped for this show . So many ways it could go , so many ways it could end , so many things that could happen , so many characters to meet etc if anyone here has read the books stfu and don't talk to me (about it until the series ends ).

[-] Talaraine@fedia.io 8 points 5 months ago

Sincerely hoping these two two don't give the final season the GoT treatment. Yeah they have the material this time, thankfully... just don't give these guys a movie contract so they can squirrel.

[-] livus@kbin.social 7 points 5 months ago

I'm not going to watch it until it's finished and had good reviews.

#Neveragain.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The streamer has greenlit additional episodes that will eventually wrap the acclaimed sci-fi epic from David Benioff, Dan Weiss and Alexander Woo.

“Ever since we read the last page of Cixin Liu’s magnificent trilogy, we hoped we’d be able to bring the audience to the end of the universe with us.

In addition, Game of Thrones creators Benioff and Weiss have renewed their overall deal with the streamer to write, produce and direct new series and films.

Added Peter Friedlander, vp of scripted series at Netflix: “The extraordinary 3 Body Problem, brought to life with the deft hands of Benioff, Weiss and Woo, will soar to never-before-seen heights as they tackle the rest of the mind-blowing journey through Death’s End.

The producers have said they’ve been working on a second season as if a renewal is forthcoming in hopes of hitting the ground running when they get a green light.

Benioff previously told The Hollywood Reporter for a cover story that the second season of 3 Body Problem would be even better than the first: “Liu Cixin’s created this indelible trilogy and the books just get better for me.

The original article contains 497 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
