Saw a poster for the new 'The Three-Body Problem' show at the bus stop and it just made me miss the book's slow burn.
The ad made it look like a fast-paced action flick, which is totally different from the deep, creeping dread I loved in the original novel. Do you ever feel like adaptations just sell the wrong vibe to get people in seats?

Ugh, tell me about it. They did the same thing with the trailer for "Annihilation." The book is all about this weird, slow unraveling, but the movie ads made it look like a monster shoot-em-up. It's like they're scared to market a story that actually makes you think. They just slap some explosions on the poster and call it a day.

Yeah, that's the worst part about it lol. They trade the whole mood for a quick sell. Feels like a bait and switch every time.
