I guess the possible saving grace here would be that the books are finished. They did a good job adapting what was already there for GOT - that's to say, made very entertaining and engaging TV.
I just want to see how bad the CGI is when the bullet tears apart all the ships. On a scale of ST:ToS to Battlestar Galactica I bet it's in the ReBoot level of CGI.
Oh damn I just necro'd the hell out of this lol oops
I don't think there is much concept of necro posting here. At least not while the activity level is as it is. Better than making a bunch of identical posts.
Thanks. Old habit from ancient forums.
Before looking at the trailer, I was expecting a complete white wash without any of the Chinese history. But after seeing that, I have some hope that it is faithful. We shall see.
I am not at all confident that anyone, least of all these two chuckleheads, are capable of adapting this series faithfully. IMO this is a story best kept to the page, at least for now.
I'm expecting original Dune (1984) levels bad.
Yeah, I was excited for this until I saw who was making it! I'm going to give it a shot, but like you I'm not confident it will work as a TV show. Maybe if they did book 1 + book 2 as the first season.
I feel like the Youtube channel Quinn's Ideas has probably done this story more justice than Netflix ever could, but I'm at least glad to see a great story get a little attention rather than just another "reboot" of some terrible comic book story or another pathetic cash grab of a movie.
it'll be a spectacle, one way or another lol
0 confidence they'll do it justice
I've found Netflix is that worst company at revealing too much plot/the twist in their trailers. I'm incredibly happy that they're making this, but I'll wait to actually watch it rather than watching their trailer.
Anyone watched to Chinese version?
I’ve started to and it seems good so far.
I did, and I enjoyed it immensely. The actors were impressive, especially the one portraying Shi Qiang and Ye Wenjie.
