How is that any different than disabling it with a missile? If anything there was a really good chance it would’ve spliced the hard drive in half if it wasn’t for plot armor
So how is the monowire not going to destroy this? Just recon where the network room is and have some seals storm it. It looked like a really soft target
The fibers were spaced at 2 foot intervals, I think. The odds of one a molecule thin strand of nano-fiber cutting directly into the hard drive is as low risk as things can get. Reminder, if they frick this up then it's over for the human race. Anyways, it worked exactly like they wanted so it turns out they were right and you were wrong.
the more i think about this show the more i dislike it. it felt like everything that happened had no impact on the overall story. what the frick was the point of the simulation thing? why did the scientists kill themselves? why is china involved? why the frick am i supposed to care about some guy with cancer?
The entire premise is moronic. Why would the aliens advertise to the humans 400 years in advance that they’re invading? Sure gives human an awful frickload of time to direct their entire civilization to the sole purpose of murdering you. Why try to launch a probe with 1k nukes? Why not jsut send 1k nukes to blow them the frick up? This is to say nothing of the fact they totally gloss over the fact they don’t even know what direction they need to send a probe into? Also extremely annoyed by these basedboy characters. The hot chick crying about what a big meanie the Onion Knight is for killing the people that literally tried and partially succeeded in murdering her and her friends was rage inducing.
Because they evolved with a communication/system of thought that is completely transparent to one another. Essentially they can't lie or be secretive in any way, because they have no concept of it in the first place. Read the books.
>have to read the book series to understand the adaptation
Yep, it's shit. Continue running damage control for this nonsense if it makes you feel better.
I'm not defending this awful adaptation anon. As soon as it was announced Netflix was doing it I knew it would be terrible so I haven't even bothered watching it. I was just trying to explain why the ailens are so outspoken with their plans and reccomending you read the book because I enjoyed them. Although the lady protag in the third book is an insufferable bleeding heart b***h that almost ruined it for me. Luckily it turned out that it was the original b***h that ultimately doomed humanity from the start anyway so that redeemed it a bit for me.

I fricking hate that, why should I have to do homework just to understand what the frick was going on? We got that with Harry Potter, the Narnia movies, His Dark Materials. Films should be able to stand on their own.
Oh I forgot, as well as not being able to lie essentially, they also thought, correctly, that by using the sophons to block humanities research into high energy physics that they would be able to stagnate growth and evolution in the sciences. This is exactly what happens and is explained better in the second book. Basically all earth can do is optimise existing tech or develop new tech based off research done before the sophon block was put in.
They were trying to recruit species traitors with the helmet shit. They were killing off scientists because at the rate human tech was advancing they would be technologically superior to the aliens by the time they arrive
I am not watching this netflix slop but I have seen the webm's, I have some questions >why were there kids on the ship? >why didn't people jump off the ship when it was starting to get cut up? >why didn't anyone notice the massive black bars on the side of the ship? >why did the alien want to cut up the ship?
The ship is staffed by cultists (think X-com alien sympathizers). The monowire was being held by a couple of steel girders sticking out of the water. This is a never before seen weapon so most people wouldn’t have given it a second thought. Jumping off a huge ship like that is massively dangerous even when it’s intact. It was anti-alien forces that diced up the ship
Cool thanks that makes a ton of sense, also I assume they show the kids so that Normies will be like "I was on the edge of my seat" and "my heart sank into my gut"
It was a cheap tactic to explain why the hot girl feels guilty about them oppenheimering her nanowires. It’s fricking moronic because they tried to kill her and her friends int he creepiest way possible plus they are actively assisting an alien race in conquering their species. Her speech about how it doesn’t matter because they’ll all be dead by the time they arrive is the most post-modern cuck bullshit ever. I’d dedicate my life to making the most delicious fricking alien death trap ever conceived if those xeno motherfrickers dared step on these rice fields
>Any significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic to lesser civilizations.
Get used to this concept because it does all the heavy lifting for this "hard scifi" series.
That’s part of why I don’t like these books and roll my eyes whenever someone calls them the pinnacle of smart hard sci-fi >duuude it’s so smart how the speed of light was reduced by weapons that destroy entire dimensions, it’s so realistic and intelligent
Its basic b***h shlocky scifi that people only know about because Obama wrote a review of the series in the NYT. Each of the novels are disjointed messes that are only loosely connected. At the beginning of each book the author takes like 4 chapters to introduce this new character and explain how they were totally there and relevant during the timeline of the previous novel/s. The plot is mediocre, the prose is terrible, and the characters and scifi concepts are some of the absolute worst I've seen in any media. There is fanfic out there that have more coherent "hard scifi" plotlines.
They’re too thick
The nanowire is hard but just being hard isn’t enough to cut into something.
You need to have a thin edge too
Also the floor is also made of the nanowire
I get tumid thinking about the vast leaps space exploration tech would make if the might of the MIC was directed at preparing to repel an alien invasion in 400 years time
i cant watch netflix slop anymore. Every fricking shot looks like trash. Even in places that really dont warrant a green screen, its a green screen. Everything is shot on a sound stage it just looks awful and I end up not watching it. Do sci fi epics like 3 body problem and Foundation really deserve this treatment?
why does this scene look so cheap
I thought it was the tencent version until I saw the netflix logo
Do you have any idea how many shots there was in this show? They can't all be million dollar shots
DUDE… GORE…!
what movie is this?
The 3 cummy problem
fallout
problem child 2
needed to recover the data, but couldn't allow the people a chance to delet
How is that any different than disabling it with a missile? If anything there was a really good chance it would’ve spliced the hard drive in half if it wasn’t for plot armor
A missile leaves people alive and large ships takes hours to sink from missiles
They dont know where it is on the ship
Why didn't they just wrap the nano wires around a navy seal? He would have been invincible.
So how is the monowire not going to destroy this? Just recon where the network room is and have some seals storm it. It looked like a really soft target
its easier to fix something that has been sliced clean off by a nano wire than fix something that has been blown up by a missile

There are only like 2 things that matters in this entire series and one of those is cancerman, the other is the Jeet that everyone hates.

You don't need to read the books to understand that they can't lie. They say that in the show like a dozen times you moron.

How did they attach the wire to the supports if it cuts through diamonds with minimal application of force?
girlpower. get over it chud

Sounds about what I expected from Chinese bugmen. There’s virtually nothing in this I would consider hard sci fi
The novels are really good, high concept stuff
Probably unfilmable though
Nano wires need to be turned on to work
The struts were also made of the wire
Why didn't they cut the floor?
They’re too thick
The nanowire is hard but just being hard isn’t enough to cut into something.
You need to have a thin edge too
Also the floor is also made of the nanowire
Iirc they need an electrical current
She turns it into water filters after this. Do you have to electrify your water bottle?
There are 100% water filters that rely on electricity
nano wire, son
I get tumid thinking about the vast leaps space exploration tech would make if the might of the MIC was directed at preparing to repel an alien invasion in 400 years time
No necessary, but it was cool.
You guys watch this lmao
there are scenes in the second and third books i really want to see in a show even if i have to watch a lot of shit to get there
i cant watch netflix slop anymore. Every fricking shot looks like trash. Even in places that really dont warrant a green screen, its a green screen. Everything is shot on a sound stage it just looks awful and I end up not watching it. Do sci fi epics like 3 body problem and Foundation really deserve this treatment?
They literally explain it
