i almost decided to watch it this morning bc dichen lachman and then i watched the trailer and i was like “god i just hate cyberpunk so much” lolol. but i’m excited for the gifs!
Honestly, it (Altered Carbon) is a really good combo of cyberpunk and murder mystery, and gets really philosophical about the nature of artificial immortality, but yeah, it’s very hard sci-fi in its approach. And the way they found three different actors to play the main character at different times in his past, and not in the “younger version of the same dude” way, was really good. They actually make a point of how irritating he (character name: Takeshi Kovacs, half Japanese, half Polish) finds it to be walking around in a white dude. Dichen Lachman plays his sister, and she’s just horrified.
