Honestly, I feel very sorry for the fans of the Chinese science fiction book series “The Three-Body Problem” that Netflix has chosen renowned hacks David Benioff and D.B Weiss for the adaptation to television.
Considering these guys infamously stated how ‘Themes are for 8th grade book reports’ and had no understanding of the fantasy genre or GRRM’s books, characters, themes and overall message, I have a decent idea of how much they are going to bungle up a science-fiction book adaptation.
And considering their primitive ideas on women, their racism and homophobia, their inability to convey nuance in their characters, I can already guess how terrible their take on a Chinese book series, set in China, is going to be.
I have also heard that the books are already borderline sexist and the characters rather vacant and one dimensional so maybe this is right up D&D’s alley. All the same, I extend my sincere sympathies to the “The Three Body Problem’ fandom that D&D are who they get for the TV show.
