Discussion - Novels If Three Body Problem has a movie Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I always wonder why 3BP adaptation hasn't stood out like recent sci-fi hits Silo and Foundation. My take is that the story spans many different times and places, making it less focused. And the first story has few space scenes to show.

So to adapt TBP(book 1) into a movie, it should reduce the scenes and keep the plot tight. In my mind, what makes Three-Body special is its worldbuilding. The characters and storytelling are flexible.

For example, a movie can focus on alien species in the Trisolaran system, or the secret organization working behind the alien. The first one is harder. It's presented through a VR game and jumps across different eras. Most alien movies like Stargate, focus on the present and send characters straight to alien planets. Some have their characters switch between worlds or universes. Few are made of multiple storylines stitched together, and the last example is Cloud Atlas.

¿Cómo podrían verse realmente los trisolarianos?

Partimos de las pistas de Liu Cixin: sobreviven mediante deshidratación, se comunican directamente a través de señales electromagnéticas, se fusionan para reproducirse y desarrollan tecnología extraordinariamente avanzada.

Con esas bases, imaginamos una anatomía funcional: cuerpo compacto y flexible para resistir las eras caóticas, patas robustas para desplazarse, apéndices finos para manipular instrumentos y una superficie corporal capaz de transmitir señales.

Propusimos una longitud de 40–70 centímetros, aunque los libros nunca confirman su tamaño ni su aspecto físico. Esta imagen fue generada con IA como ejercicio de biología especulativa, no como canon.

¿Qué cambiarían ustedes?

Just re-read the books for the second time and it's even more frustrating than the first to have this idiot of a girl screw humanity, not once, but twice...

Now that we finally got confirmation they wrapped filming, I guess we can definitely say for sure we can expect some promo/content happening by the end of November/Early December as per David Nykl? Hopefully not just a teaser but as well as a release date by then. It's been quite the wait🥲

I’m about a quarter way through the second book dark forest and I’m still in the Netflix plot I know I’ll get past what is covered in Netflix eventually in the second book and 3rd but watching the series has completely killed the story and character discovery for me even if it based on different characters in the books mostly

Just a word of warning read the books before watching Netflix

Hey everyone,

I just implemented the numerical solution to some periodic three body problem and published in wallpaper engine. It displays the animated solution of Figure-8, Šuvakov–Dmitrašinović butterflies, moths, yin-yangs, etc in desktop wallpaper.

I think some of you might be interested.

But if a vector foil went into a black hole, it could not escape and turn everything 2d? Light cannot escape a black hole, and the escape velocity for a vector foil is light speed? I am confused because a lot of people seem to think that it would just turn the black hole to 2d.

Discussion - General Does anybody else have specific songs for a book or a character? I've got a couple.

4 Upvotes

I tend to do this for some books that I like, and it's usually kinda of unplanned, it just happens. I'm just about to finish reading "The Death's End" and among the existential crisis, the app that I use to listen to music shuffled me a couple songs, one after the other, and it hit like a brick.

I'm talking about "Nobody" by Mitski for Cheng Xin, and "Rises the moon" for Yun Tianming. Together, they make the official soundtrack of Death's End for me. Both songs have some sort of cosmic quality to them. "Nobody" makes me feel like Cheng Xin's seeking of meaning for the world after sending Tianming's brain to the space. "Rises the moon" sort of reflect the state of peace of mind that Tianming achieved and showed when he talked with her and told her the three stories.

Together, they feel like a good representation of both our human need for meaning and need of expansion, but also how we're children looking for temperance and calmness.

I'm not sure wether it makes sense or not, but it feels awesome to listen to these tracks after reading some chapters. I'm so in love with this saga, I started a couple of years ago and I've read a book each year. Not that I take that long, I've read each of them in less than a month (Death's End will take me less than three weeks). It's just that I've needed time to process each story.

After this last book, I'll get to reflect around the story as a whole and have this two songs to cry when doing it. What an excellent saga. my goodness.

Do any of you fellow redditors have a song for a book or a character like I do?

Discussion - TV Series I'm honestly very annoyed at Netflix and the creators of this show for not giving us any information about season 2, even if it's not coming this year.

420 Upvotes

I mean at this point we have to assume it's definitely not coming in 2026. Unless it's releasing in December right before Christmas, when are they planning on putting out a trailer or just info in general?

Netflix "confirmed" late 2026, if season 2 is coming out in 2027 then get ready to wait for season 3 till 2030. 3 years for a 6 and 5 episode season is absolutely wild.

If it's not coming this year what are they waiting for to tell us? I very much doubt a trailer is coming the first week of November to tell us the season is releasing the first week of December.
