  1. The Marvels

     

    I've been kind of checked out on the MCU for a while now, I watched most the recent movies except for Antman 3 but I had no clue what was going on in half this movie, was a lot of the backstory and characters covered in a show I skipped? I didn't have an issue with the odder parts of the movie surprisingly like the musical planet or the Cats sequence, comics are silly so its fine.

  2. Finished it up earlier today. I thought they did a pretty good job adapting a very challenging piece of literature but no where as difficult as book 3 will be. Only thing that bugged me was so many important characters knowing each other/being close before the story kicks off, makes the world unnaturally small especially for such a huge story.

     

    book vs show thoughts below, spoilers

    The VR stuff was going to be the hardest part of the 1st book to adapt, some parts I thought they did a really good job with like the dehydration, I always had a tough times picturing that in my mind's eye. I wish they had done more with the human computer though, I know they weren't going to do a 25 minute dissertation on logic gates but they gave us essentially nothing. I don't see how a non-book reader could have possibly figured out how that was supposed to be working.



     

    The buff they gave to the sophons though is going to be huge problem for later seasons. In the books they could mess with the results of particle accelerators and be a near omnipresent spy but that was about it. In the show they can manipulate electronics and computers... well pretty much all human technology uses computers and electronics. Once they get to the deterrence era all a sophon has to do is mess with the "sword" so it can't trigger a transmission and that is game over for humanity.

    The sora stuff is impressive but I think people are over blowing how good it is. There is tell tell signs in all the videos it was done with AI. I'm a strong believer in the 80/20 % where its quick to get to that impressive 80% but it will take a really long time to ever finish that remaining 20%. 

     

    This was the pinnacle of AI video 9 months ago

     

     

    Now we have this

     

     

     

    Less than year to go from silly gibberish to pretty close to passable. Where the hell is it going to be in 5 years.
