You didn't explain the ended like the title suggests. 😢
@heavyspoilers I came for the "ending explained" ya know the short statement used convey the videos content... This is a trend I've noticed from other channels just lately... I enjoy the videos dude but it's these little niggles that stand out when Im searching for a channel or giving a recommendation a try... There is so much choice. So clickbait-ish titles, as you technically did deliver but not until going through a summary of the entire series... At this high standard of quality you should better know better
No ending explained haha all you did was recap the season
First thing that struck me, that I loved, was that the scenes in China were all in Chinese. No excuses to speak English. Just Chinese with subtitles. Perfect.
And that Auggie went to see a neurologist. Thinking there might be a medical reason.
Agree. I hate when movies make the actors speak broken English when they are supposed to be foreigners.
It should be something normal I guess... If people are in China, why TF would they be speaking in English? 😂 IMHO movies or shows that do this kind of thing already start with negative 3 points lol
@@NoBreakz yes it makes no sense. Like House of Gucci. They're supposed to be Italians in Italy. I get that it's Hollywood and they won't make them speak Italian in this case. But wtf is that accent? Why are they talking Italian American cliché when they're supposed to speak their native language
@@Henrique.Souza0601 exactly! It's too often that they all speak English, when they're in a different country. It's just so much better when it's multilingual
What a low bar to have
They did not change the name of the san-ti. That is the original name in the Chinese books. Trisolarins was an English translation. So it's actually more accurate 😊
Channels like this just look up summaries of the source materials and just copy the "explanations" of other yt channels. they dont actually read any of the source stuff so they dont know details like that.
Man, the 'boat-slicing' scene was very intense!!
It just seems like a lot of trouble to go through to get the ship's data?
@@celan4288it was extremely important information, they have no other way to get intel on the trisolarians
Right? Part “Johnny Mneumonic” and part “His Dark Materials: The Subtle Knife”. It was STUNNING the way they used CGI models and practical effects to portray the absolute brutal horror of Auggie’s nano wire. For me, the greater evil and horror was the people who were tasked with sifting through the “sausage” to find that f-ing PB drive…
Ugh, I really shivered for the children!@@jimatmezzacello366
@@edgbarra there are many other ways to attack a ship
That last scene about the nature of bugs was really good.
You should watch the chinese adaptation, its on youtube I think
The Chinese version of this scene is way much better.
It was too on the nose, no nuance.
@@pnut3844ablethat was the point though, it was to motivate jin and saul
@@rosecity_chris they're highly intelligent, they didn't need him to be that way.
You know it's fiction because humans work together.
@@syang7775what woke stuff?
In the fiction, there is an ever encroaching sense for dread and helpless. Therefore humans kinda have to work together, it is like when you are super nervous or need to work for an immanent deadline, you are just so much focused all at once. That dread and helplessness is largely lack in the netflix adaptation, and really destroyed the atmosphere it supposed to have.
Bruh yall are just fighting ghosts, what woke stuff@@syang7775
@syang7775 what is the tencent version?
@madhavgupta2002 they swapped male characters for women and made black people main characters. So they label it "woke" like idiots
My 2nd grade teacher made me a WallFacer all the time
thanks...i needed that
😂😂👍
😂😂😂. At least no one could know what you're thinking
I keep thinking of Christopher Reeve in Village of The Damned when they mention "Wall Facer" ... LOL
The nano-tech and sky blinking was legit terrifying
This shit had me so hooked from episode 1, Can't believe id never even heard of the books before
You should read it. I read the book a while back it was amazing.
I still remember after I read the all three books，i was feeling empty and lost for the next whole month😂
Same ! I can’t wait to read the books
Media illiterate
@@herzji Do you know how insanely easy it is to not hear of a book series?
imagine humanity getting taken over by a bunch of dehydrated alien raisins
At this point I'd be surprised if common house bugs don't take us over.
Is it coincidence that Evans recordings with Sophon are kept in a red book like Mao’s Red Book of Quotations? This reflects the cult like status of his group (just a theory)
I noticed that little detail, too. Nice touch.
The eye in the sky scene brought me back to Rick and Monty.
"Show me what you got!"
I loved this series. A lot of comments deride it as not as good as the books. But look at it this way. I had never heard of the books or the author before this. Now I will seek them out.
It's a win-win for this bug.
And maybe watch the Chinese series, which imo the superior version than the Netflix adaptation, it's long but it's definitely not dumb, watch the 26 episode director's cut if you can find it, cuz it's the best version so far.
i read the books just two weeks ago and was hyped for this, its not bad but rly different so i was a bit disapointed
@@tsukasa1608 Where would one be able to find the Chinese series?
It's on Amazon Prime. Despite what book purists may say, it mostly feels like a drag and takes too long to get to the point, but it's almost a 1 to 1 copy of the first book, it's no wonder why the director felt the need to create a 26 episodes cut. I think people just like to think they're smarter for having read the books when the whole trilogy is carried by ideas rather than characters. Wang Miao is one of the most boring protagonists i've ever seen in the books (they tried to humanize him a little better in the Tencent show) and the VR sections of the book extend for too long, but they do go into detail of each iteration of a calendar, which is interesting.
@juantopo7642
Book fans definitely love Tencent.
TBP Netflix is still better imo and would probably be more liked by general public.
Luo Ji, equivalent of Saul Durand in the series, grows to be the most badass character i have ever read. I hope somehow the show writers will let him shine as it does in the book, though i suspect somehow he'll be given some moral dilemmas and personal struggles to be "humanised".....
Luo Ji had plenty of moral dilemmas and personal struggles in the book. Much like Saul Durand he did not immediately embrace his role of humanity's savior. I can't wait to find out if he uses his resources to create some kind of deluded fantasy with Auggie, before sobering up to reality to do his job.
Luo Ji will marry who, because no one in this show seems to come close to his ideal woman😂
@@misterdoctor9693 well, I did say "grows to be" right? However he gets to understanding what he needs to do, once he did he absolutely committed with 0 doubt or hesitation. And he remained so for the rest of his life because he now only has one single purpose in life. A life of total solitude with a single purpose-a near deity/martyr quality.
What I don't want to see is him after "enlightenment" still occasionally chat with friends about life over cold beers and talk mundane shit.
"So anyways, I said take this, Santi motherf#*, lol"
@@misterdoctor9693 and the length Luo Ji went to get over his obsession in the book is rather extreme and morbid, which somehow compliments well with his later transformation with similar extremity. I very much doubt Saul will given similar arch, because on screen he'll appear too unlikable. Besides Saul so far displayed none of those spoiled brat kind of quality. So there you go.
Right. This actor is a good one, I've seen him in Watchmen I think. On the other hand, I hope series lives long enough so that we can see his arch, becoming Swordholder then THAT moment of passing the duty, yeah you know very well which one I'm referring...all up to that dual-foil shenanigans after which I have a Teardrop in my eye for a great character that he is.
PS: Luo Ji was also kind of a reluctant alcoholic in the books, especially in the beginning.
Excellent breakdown, much appreciated. As a physicist, not having read the books, I would hope that the writer(s) tapped into the fact that if the photon can do those things as shown in the series, then we could also do the same things, considering how universal the laws of physics is (if correct). A principle we already study was brought out in the series, quantum entanglement, so it makes sense why they would target accelerator-based physics, so high energy beams/physics would eventually lead to us forming photon-pairs and manipulate them as in the show, making their technology understood/useless as a weapon.
So, by revealing the proton-pair evolution, they are indirectly telling us how to beat them.
I can’t move past the idea that after the aliens spent decades talking to this dude, they only JUST learned that humans can lie and it was because he read them little red riding hood. And that was like, a huge shift in the plot from that moment on. This was a tough watch for me.
Snap! I can't get over that. The concepts of fiction vs non-fiction and/or metaphor and/or deceptive untruth, would have become apparent to the San-Ti decades earlier in their daily conversations with Evans.
@@speakatron5634 Exactly! It makes no sense and is a glaring plot hole. I’ve never read the books, but based on what I’ve heard, they’re infinitely better than what this series delivered on and I doubt this was a part of the original story - or if it was, it was handled a lot better.
In the books the confusion doesn’t even arise until the beginning of the second book.
The Trisolarans didn’t care enough to understand human anatomy before departing for earth. Evan’s “lord” later mentioned that the terms thought and speak didn’t appear synonymous with humans.
Evans explained how human anatomy separates the two. The trisolaran labeled it a weakness, and Evan’s then uses the little red riding hood story to explain the concept of deceit. Trisolarans realize they can’t trust the adventists.
Anyways, you said decades but the sophons were installed on earth only a couple months ago in the present timeline. So instant conversation between Evan’s and Trisolarans was a recent development.
@@harate Ah right, I see. I still think the series didn't handle this specific plot point very well, but thanks very much for this explanation!
It was like releasing the dove in Mars Attacks! 😂
I still don’t understand how the lady assassin had superhuman strength when she held up jack easily with one hand. Unless I missed the explanation on that
Yea that was stupid
Why exactly was he killed? Don’t see the point of that at all.
She didn't. But he didn't try to fight back at all
@@edgbarra she did though. She picked him up by his neck and slammed him against the wall
What I don't get is they're not capable of lying, yet they make people see illusions and scrub themselves from security footage. Another brilliant idea by D & D.
This series was 🔥 i didn't want it to end, I hope season 2 doesn't take long to come out
Last scene made me think, maybe the nukes worked but san ti made it appear so it didnt to humans to gain advantage over them
Those exact nukes will remain there and they will remake an appearance a touch later 😉. The failure was real and they indeed lost that sail with the brain ... Cannot say more because it would be spoiling!
I like how they never mentioned how they positioned all of those nukes out there and how far away so fast.
@@B-Killin yeah they skipped that but ig the dont need too big of a distance between each nuke compared to the 400 years distance 😅
@@B-Killinokay I thought I missed something when she was explaining the plan
I’m just about to read the books, the show was sooooo good, humble opinion, bc I haven’t read the books and I didn’t know there would be more seasons so I expected that last episode to come with some answers and resolutions I was like 😩
This Adaption was better than I expected, Also the characters changes are good, Though I don't like how the brush over the science stuff.
I think the casting was good ,"Thomas Wade" was perfect
They don't get the science in the books, so they think nobody can't either
As a solid book fan，i will say the Netflix adaption is a butcher to the book，hope more people can read the stunning original book
@@peefly9566 Not sure what you mean, the book characters are really flat, this show improves on that. also the timeline feels more cohesive, since it covers all 3 books.
I enjoyed the adaption much more then the tencent version .
I personally loved it❤. I have watched both the Netflix and the Tencent adaptation and neither is perfect but they are both respectful of the source material which is the delectable part for me, as a book reader.
What I liked about the Netflix one is that despite the creative changes that they made they definitely kept the all the main plot points in the story and I got the same feelings and reactions watching certain scenes that when I first read them in the books. This is for me a proof that they didn't miss the mark in capturing the essence of the story.
One issue I had is that the tone of the show was almost too humorous compared to the book which is quite dark in tone. But I get why they did it, it can't be too depressing if we want to get a second and third season greenlit 😅.
All in all, I was agreably surprised and I hope we get the Dark Forest season 2..
yes I same as you
I liked the show but the pace was a bit odd, it was too rushed in my opinion, a lot of key moments in the show did not carry the weight they should have.
Virtually impossible to pull it off if they try to squeeze all the characters into one series. They did tried.
@@hugowashere8 Virtually impossible when a good adaptation already exist by tencent
@@hugowashere8exactly… which is why they should have less characters instead of breaking up the book characters in the way that they did. I have no problem with them doing that, I just don’t think they did it effectively
@@Mugiwara_SanjiiI watched both and I can’t say the tencent was better in some instances. Also it was probably a tad too long and possibly boring at parts for most audiences especially in the western world. Netflix also wasn’t going to make this 20 episodes long and really needed to set up the series for the real party which they managed to do given then constraints imo
Agreed. Especially the Guzhen Plan, in books there's tons of bedding, at least telling the audience that the only way not to harm the disc or server is the nano string. However, overall, in 8 episodes, it has finished the first book and a start of second book, good job to Netflix.
It's a fantastic series & Quinn does a sensational series of breakdowns for the books on his channel.
Quinn's Ideas is how I find so much good sci-fi
@@Bergamot88Word! That man is a hero
We should have hired Quinn to write the episodics.
I came to know about 3 body problem through Quinn's ideas but I wanted to watch the series now I wish I had read the books
It's an interesting, albeit depressing, watch, but it has major flaws in logic.
I'm a little late getting to this video, but I finished the season yesterday. So, two things:
1. Hiding an Earth-sized super computer on a single proton by folding spacetime through higher dimensions is crazy. 🥴
2. My guess why the space mission failed is because Dr. Cheng failed to account for special relativity concerning length contraction, causing the cable to snap, sending Downing's brain off course.
But, as usual, I like how the story works mechanically (pun intended.) I can't wait for season 2. Let's only hope.
If you think that's crazy, oh boi are you in for a ride, you've seen nothing yet ...this season like the first book was mostly just introduction and setup. I have no idea how are they're gonna even translate to screen later crazyness from book 2, which is one of the best sci-fi books I've ever red, especially from 3rd book, where things really go out there. hopefully show endures that long.
Or maybe it was those extra 18grams that she didn’t know about
@@trb294could be the reason, all her calculations never accounted for the extra weight and its added last minute without her knowing
@@Leon98LeoDo you really think that no one would double check the math on a project of this importance and magnitude? Structural problems happen sometimes, especially on objects that undergo extreme conditions- like space and atomic explosions. I have to check the books again, but I think that's all that was: simple mechanical failure.
Maybe it was the FUCKING NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS right next to the nano fibers??
Thank you, MT, i enjoyed this
San Ti is the orginal name. Trisolarans came along in the english version ...so all the "its not loyal to the book people" can sit down as it more loyal than the translated books. Biggest differnce is the characters but cixin never gave a crap about characters so it was necessary
So..... this video is just a recap? What exactly do you explain here? The season 2 "theories" start at 16:25 and end at 16:55
I really feel robbed of my time or clickbaited
Agree!
agree, theories is my favourite part
Thanks for sharing the breakdown! I read the books so don’t feel I could get spoiled… how come this channel is only doing one video for the whole series/season? Or am I missing other spoilers videos for the episodes?
No spoilers on the Heavy Spoilers channel, sorry
Thank you I was waiting for this
WOW!!!! THANKS, MT, for keeping it detailed and nerdy!!!
You didn't explain the ending, you just summarized the season. Why are you lying to people?
We are afraid of you.
They do it all the time on all their video, I don't understand why.
If you want 13 hour deep dives you gotta go elsewhere.
It's the same everywhere lately. Ending explained = walkthrough of the entire movie/series.
Be a he is a human and cannot be trusted
What was up with Tatiana getting a VR set at the end? I had assumed everyone in the cult had already gotten to level 4 to be initiated, but she was like genuinely surprised to see it.
I have a feeling she said she grew up in the cult so I'm guessing she was already initiated from childhood.
She was happy because it means they plan on communicating with her way more often. The remaining “cult” members turn into trisolaran assassins instead of a welcoming party to coexist with humans. A fifth column of the invasion.
The trisolarans know that Ye Wenjie passed critical information to Saul Durand at the cemetery. They need to physically eliminate him using humans since the sophons aren’t capable.
I'm more wondering how the hell the aliens have gotten this VR set to earth.
@@Thecuriousincident1thats a good question considering it takes them 400 years to arrive
My ideea was that their computer or them especially have teached someone to do it here on earth!
Yo!!! Very cool breakdown. Good job!!
I like it! Well done.
I binged this in a day I loved ❤❤❤
Why did they change the name? Trisolarans made more sense
Same sense, it's just the Chinese name
It means Trisolarans in chinese.
Maybe because it wasn't enough to make the Chinese people in the show evil, they also had to make the invading "villains" from outer space sound Chinese...
santi is the pronounciation of 三体, and 3 body problem is the translation of 三体
Sol is the name of OUR sun so no. Tristar would be more fitting
So glad u did this. Im watching the show now and its really good.
How does this channel pump out these videos so fast?
Person discovers aliens, invites them over to tea. Aliens think "Ooh a solar system that looks cool, doesn't have our problems, lets visit", use their advanced alien tech to prevent humans from inventing tech that could counter them. Meanwhile on Earth two factions arise - the ones who like the idea, the ones who don't. Aliens arrive, say "Oh you thought we were coming for tea, no sorry" and wipe everybody out. Moral: Shut the hell up.
Literally the point of the series truly os to stfu hahaha
At first they thought they want to live side by side with human,thats why they have the cult,to prepare others for their arrival and acceptance. Not until they learned weird concept(for them) of lie, then theyre afraid,so they went quiet and said they can't co-exist. Since they can't lie,they told the truth
Well, if you have read the book you'll see even though it has some modern social commentary hints here and there, it mainly settles on the fundemental rule of survival of the universe, which in some ways also reflects how humans conduct ourselves throughout history
What is over to tea ? 🤔
More habitable than cool, I think. 😂
@@izzanirfan2534the volt in its own is interesting. i think they wouldn’t co exist per say, they would rule and humans would follow. bc it’s not like their one “Lord” they were praising the San Ti as a whole and there’s a bunch of them
episode 2---flashback in 70s and Ye Wenje starts talking about the Fermi Paradox and all the planets that are out there. Problem is, in 1970 we hadn't yet discovered any proof of any planets outside of our solar system.
Common sense that if our star has planets then some of the billions of stars in billions of galaxies just might have planets too.
@jaceacekalgoorlie - right? Just because we didn't have proof of other planets didn't mean we weren't thinking there possibly were other planets. It's no different from now where we think there could/should be other life out there even though we don't yet have proof.
@@jaceacekalgoorlieyou guys around in the 70s or 80s? I was. Sure in hindsight it's 'common sense'. No one was talking about exo planets back then. It 100000% was *not* assumed.
@@willzsportscards In the 70's we hadn't discovered any non human intelligence, why would people assume it exists? smh.
That's not the real issue, the one that bugs me the most is when she received the message it was displayed on the screen in Chinese characters! Chinese Character Card only existed back in the 80s, before that eveyone use the Latin alphabets on computer, and in the show she received the message in 1977.
The Tencent version was much more accurate during this part, and she had to decode the numbers into a full paragraph manually.
It's good to hear. M t's voice again!
This is a brilliant and enlightening assessment of a great first season!
The term 'Red Coast' is an incorrect translation; it should be 'Red Bank,' which is inspired by the real-life Green Bank Telescope in US.
Red Sea
It is the correct translation. It is the name of the base not related to telescope at all. I don’t know if i explained well.
This was better than i thought it would be.
It reminded me of Mars attacks when they released the dove. We just need send out slim Whitman tunes.
I really enjoyed this season.
Is it perfect? No, but adapting books to tv and movies never is.
I think people are being overly critical because there's still a lot of animosity towards D and D over them blowing the last few seasons of thrones.
The diverse cast didn't feel forced like most of the other recent projects.
They didnt focus of how humanity responds to learning that there is life out there and that its coming to earth but i think that was a good choice because this seasons objective was to introduce and flesh out the aliens, the threat they pose, their technology, and the hurdles humans face trying to defeat them. Ie this season was all about the problem, allowing next season to focus on humanity dealing with the revelations of the aliens and them coming to earth.
All in all this season was a vast improvement from the last season of tv d and d made. S8 of GOT.
Quinn's Ideas broke down this book awhile ago
Great video MT, just one small correction, in the original chinese book adaptation they are called the Santi, not just changed for this series
Hey!!! I may be late, however I really would appreciate an interview with MT. It doesn't matter but I'm just so curious as to how he ended up here on HEAVY SPOILERS. Regardless it's dope hearing you on this platform. Keep goin guys.
Tri-Solarians sounded way more bad ass then San-Ti
Than
San -ti is a direct translation from Chinese meaning 3 things 3 figures... So referring to the 3 stars
@joesmith201212 I'm aware that it's way more accurate than the English version that changed it from San-Ti...
I feel it adds more mysticism
If there was one native person in this group they would have known this was going to go wrong. Been here before. 😢😢
I watched Tencent's Three-Body TV series, and although some parts were long and boring, I liked every character. Their humanity is complex and their emotions are abundant. The director logically elaborated on a lot of scientific issues. And Netflix's TV series is like a boring speed read. The characters are not like scientists, but a group of rebellious American teenagers who drink, drug, fuck, adolescent troubles. On top of that, Ye Wenjie is my favorite character, but Netflix has portrayed her as an angry, weak cult leader.
In addition, Tencent's TV series is about the governments and militaries of various countries working together to save humanity. In the Netflix version, there are only a few employees of the British government, and the governments of other countries seem to have little effect.
Tencent version, despite having only $10M budget, managed to create a show with much bigger scale and visually more impressive than the $160M budget Netflix series, makes you wonder where did they spent all the money at?
@@tsukasa1608 they eat the money and use it for themself
They spent it on diversification experts to make the show more black, gay, with two woke tablespoons of sex and unnecessary "fucks" (both verbal and visual).
Not sure why I was expecting more from Netflix on this one.
The Chinese one is really boring for me, as a native Chinese speaker. The dialogue is extremely bad that I cannot watch more than 8 episodes.
Couldn't agree more ! it's really difficult to view these teenagers as top level scientists.
What if the space shuttle going off course at the end was just an illusion and it's really still on course??
The long call back will be that they find will's brain floating around and have the tech to bring him back for the reunion with jin.
I think they deceived them, and made them see what they wanted them to.
Bro the other guys breakdowns are so much better. This guy spent two minutes just naming the actors 😂😂
Good to hear that this is good. Couldn't get into the Chinese live-action adaptation. Dyslexia and subtitles don't mix that well.
Hope you enjoyed the breakdown mate
Great series. Netflix please keep it rolling. I’m starting the books today. Hooked
This feels more like a summary than a review of what you think of the production
I gotta say I was severely disappointed with the Netflix adaptation compared to the Chinese adaptation. Firstly the pacing was really horrible and I felt like the cosmic horror element was not utilized properly, in addition the characters felt really obnoxious.
Everything gotta be a joke now. Especially american anything.. too me this was supposed to be kinda scary and intense.. it was not any of that.. the books deliver.
Yeah, they give too much "mundane" life problems to these characters. I mean, the world you and your decendants will have ever known will be wiped out by an alien army. Yet, I still need to figure out if helping the morally grey resistance alliance fits my life principles.........
damn they really stupidified this
oy vey, you better cut out that hate speech there, bigot
its so dumb that fits Dumb&Dumber...
I mean for the it’s still pretty advanced even if it was dumb downed for more general audience
@@luisseph6348it’s far more likely that Netflix required it to be made for accessible for the average person.
@@luisseph6348 D&D are not dumb...
I think Saul became a wallfacer because of the joke that Ye made with their last interaction. We were teased repeatedly on his mental prowes, he debunked the illusions before we did. Ye saw his potential and told him that joke/anectdote as a subtle threat to the San-ti (who view stories as lies) and also a code that Saul will debunk and actualise into his role with later on.
I LOVED this adaptation! I hope we get more. The Dark Forest was my favorite book in the series.
What a great series! I feel bad for those of you that actually read the books first (I know the books are always better). I didn't even know the books existed until the netflix series. I really enjoyed this series but something stands out as strange to me. That guy that has been talking to his "LORD" (the aliens) are a collective consciousness kind of like the borg. He has clearly been communicating with them for quite some time yet the concept of FICTION was never explained to the aliens in all their talks? Him reading little red riding hood was really the first time this came up in their chats? That part seemed strange to me.
The Chinese Internet already has a saying:
Tencent TBP: TBP made by Tencent
Bilibili TBP animation: TBP made by ETO
Netflix TBP: TBP made by Trisolarians
Trisolarians felt insulted
true dude
Oh, that’s why I as an human can’t comprehend
哈哈哈哈
哈哈哈
Just realized the Mike Evan’s red hard drive was a call back to the red guard book.
My dawg MT💪🏾
Not a slow burn just sorta boring. It struggles with uninteresting characters, and no payoffs
Very much so, I knew Netflix wouldnt be able to do this.
Thomas Wade kept this show interesting for me :)
I like your content but sometimes I just get the feeling that you haven’t really read the source material you’re speaking of.
Man, I had to scroll past five or six other videos that say ending explained, before I found yours, the OG that I've been watching for years 😑
The San Ti is the Chinese name.. so it wasn't changed... it was changed BACK to the original
I flat out prefer the 30 hour 30 episode Chinese version on TH-cam
Tencent released a 26-episode version, that one has a great pace, which I think is much better than Netflix
whats it called
Can you share the link?
I cant get over how stupid the aliens are. Like sophons are insane, but they are utilized so poorly.
The problem is the Trisolarans can’t lie so it is hard for them to manipulate others. Also, they have their own confusing code of ethics despite being willing to genocide most of humanity.
Why are they stupid?
How are they used poorly?
@jamesmswenko8292 bud, those things can take over everything eletronic. In our world, that is straight up divine power. They settled for a cult, but they could of had a religion. Minimum.
@@chriscomp20 Agreed. The San-Ti are stupid in human standards. They are aliens who do not understand humanity or how humanity works. They don't even know what a religion is. All they know is cooperation and survival since that is all they know after surviving every chaotic era in their world. It took centuries until the events of the third book to know how to deceive, manipulate, and lie. The books also admit that the San-Ti are mentally less intelligent compared to humans and just have the advantage of being far older than humanity to create their futuristic technology. The San-Ti even admit that if humanity progressed and had the same futuristic technology as they do, the San-Ti might lose the war despite having an advantage.
episode 5 "judgement day" was damn good 🔥🔥
Just waiting for the spell.
That's Benedict Wong!!! It was my idea that he was casted. Especially since he has a huge connection in the series
Were you involved in casting…?
What connection? _Casted_ is not a word

the girl"FOLLOWER" dehydrating in the desert was just weird .. they rolled her up like a skin suit bones and all 😵

It wasn't literal. People also can't fly by donning a tanuki costume and spinning around.
Getting sillier as it goes along.
Hey man. Cold burn on Jack lol. But that bed room has seen no action unless he was watching Iron Man on his 4K TV.
I did not mind the changes made for the Netflix adaptation. Liu Ji, Wang Mao, and Xin Cheng and Yun Tianming being changed for this adaptation were understandable as well. However, the thing that made me so frustrated was that they cut and rushed so many key events from the 3 body problem into 6 episodes. (Yes I know there are 8, the other two set up for Dark Forest and Death's End)
Another thing that really made me frustrated was the bastardisation of Ye Wenjie as a character.
Although I do hope the show gets picked up for a second season. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and it makes me even more concerned for the rest of the seasons. Considering the first book in the series was by far the best.
Dumb&dummer do not understand the book obviously
It needs to be canceled so sink DnD’s careers. They cannot be allowed to ruin more shows.
@@MarkMiller304 yes
I agree. Except the dark forest was the best book in the series.
You do you but no way the first book is the best. Despite it being great, its easily the worst of the trilogy ...
I am so afraid that Dave and Dan will ruin another classic series...
Exactly
As long as they don’t get a better deal should be fine
STF
Boat-Slicing scene was a direct inspiration from the Ghost Ship!
I bet MT read second book but not third, ‘cause he explained that Wallfacers are from book 2, but didn’t mention that Wade and Will on a rocketship came straight from book 3.
As a book reader and Tencent adaptation enjoyer, I hated this show.
same, the producer ruined it just like what they've done to the GOT
as not a book reader i enjoy the show😂
I think this show does better in terms of character build up.
They butchered the wallfacers. Boooooooo
It's like they made a comedy
I have to agree with those saying this a season recap and not an ending explained video. 🤦🏾♂️
they didnt change the name of the trisolarans for this series - aparently they were origonally called the san-ti which was changed for the english translation of the books.
the name wasnt changed they stook to the origonal.
The Tencent version and the book is much better. Netflix totally miss the most important idea behind it.
What?? D&D miss the entire point of a book series they're adapting? Bullshit
I've red the series and watched both shows. The Netflix one is repayable, I'm not sitting thru 30 episodes of that again, if anything I'll just reread the book in less than 30 episodes run time
Netflix should release the tencent episodes already available for free on TH-cam to show the more true to book story. They did make quite a few changes. There is supposedly going to be a second season of the tencent series as well that could be released with the second series of the netflix adaptation if it does well enough.
tencent version is straight up dogshit bro
@@thedumbcat01 okay dumb cat...
Netflix's version is nothing close to the original books, you want that? look at the ORIGINAL TV ADAPTATION made in China. That one is way closer. Nice of you guys to casually omit that in your video...
just saying, as someone who lives in China and that actually worked with people involved in the production of the chinese version, the Netflix version is pretty much what the chinese producers wanted
Go bow to your commie overlords
@@iamFSRLNot sure where u get that from this comment
??? I don't think most of the Chinese people agree with you @@DIDI.TITI777
@@DIDI.TITI777Indeed, with such high investment and such low output, what producer wouldn’t want it.
I enjoyed it.
Hi MT!
As a book reader and watched the chinese tv series, I hate this netflix adaptation. Just finished watching all of it and god so many things sped up or cut, complexities are brought down by blurting them out without using the plot, iconic characters butchered, useless character replacement aaand if you want to know how much this sped up, the whole first book is climaxing and finished by episode 6th, and on the last 2 episodes they crammed bits from book two.
Couldn't agree more
I'll have to read the book then. Because im still very confused
@@amandameredith or you can just watch the Chinese version, which is 100% copy of the book storyline and information (the 1st book)
@@matchatneko4956hated the Chinese version as it’s very boring lol it’s too much like the book
@@XaldinX as a book reader, maybe love the Chinese version more , because it's too much like the book😎😎😄
Pleasantly surprised to find Netflix made this science fiction into its series. I wasted no time and finished its first season, 8 episodes overnight.
The base of the original story lines of the book series remains intact but the key background location of where it's happening has changed from Beijing to London, and subsequently the characters as well, from mostly Chinese to a mix of different races living in UK. Understandable changes when considering its global target audience, but those changes confused me a lot at the beginning.
Whether you read the book or not, I would assume that you'll find it pretty entertaining overall. And if you find it difficult or too slow in the beginning, it gets better and clearer once you patiently bear through the first 3~4 episodes. Lastly, I believe Netflix should have made and released maybe about 4 episodes more for its initial season that would've covered the diabolical first battle.
“Slightly vary”
Its funny when the San ti asked to talk to the wolf that lied he could have just had a playmaker act like a english speaking wolf
Liam Cunningham carries this show by breathing life and agency into it. His the main reason I would fight for this show to get a second season. Seeing him frightened but still holding his ground in that last scene inside the jet gave me goosebumps.
P.S The show has potential, I just hope its not cancelled because of DEI nonsense. People need to learn to ignore that shit and voice what they need to see more of.
More white people please. That’s your comment.
It's going to get cancelled because of costs and viewership. I don't see how they'll produce a sequel series given how expensive the second and third book will be to produce. The series premiered okay but they paid out the ass expecting a viral hit.
Wade is a white character created entirely for the show replacing several Chinese characters. In this case, including Cunningham was the DEI.
I watched the Netflix version, the the Tencent version before starting the books. I feel like it worked will in setting up the framework for what the novels do. The Netflix series builds interest in the overall concepts of the series and the Tencent version hews closely to the first book (which, imo, made it a more pleasurable read). Both shows leave you REALLY interested in finding out what happens next. About a hundred pages into Death's End now and can't put it down.
😮 Finding out de santis are themselves tiny little bugs completely killed these alien's scary nature for me 😮💨
Watch the movie 'Phase IV'
Made by guys that are known for inserting unnecessary gratuitous sx scenes in their programs and totally ruining them. Yay😂
Ugh. This was so bad. The Chinese version is a million times better (even though that had its own issues). It felt like they turned the actual plot with the aliens into the B plot and tried to create an A plot around the insufferable, no chemistry characters (that I could not give a damn about). Most of it got mushed into a dialogue heavy drama written by a sophomore drama major.
Exactly 💯
The Chinese version could've been shorter tbf
@@elliewilliams9746 yes, agreed, it dragged in places, it was not perfect, but it was vastly superior to this drakh
