Talha MufteeThe Netflix adaptation of The Three Body Problem is worse than I feared. Never mind the white washing but the amount of dumbing down from the source material is insulting. Say what you want about the pacing of Tencent edition it was much more faithful and closer to how readers imagined while reading the books. #threebodyproblem
Irene Zhang@tmuftee I haven’t seen it but I saw someone posting on Subtle Asian Traits that it’s one of the few realistic depictions of the Cultural Revolution. I assume the Tencent version censored that?
@irene Tencent show did skip that. Netflix version at least depicted the scene as described in the books. The Chinese show isn't perfect but the Netflix one is just too watered down. Misses the tone of cosmic dread and helplessness.
