Not enough relationship drama to pull women in.

Its hard enough sci Fi that normies aren't interested. And if normies don't like it then other normies won't bother.

There is a good following for it though, we used to have weekly threads with new episodes and they were a lot of fun .

no we prefer sci fi without bull shit diversity crammed down our throats. kill yourself for being fucking blind.

1st season is boring as shit.

What a bunch of fucking plebs. Expanse is literally the greatest sci-fi show ever made.

Decent sci-fi's rarely popular.

there is no "amazon version", they just bought the rights and are continuing the series

I'm as hardcore a white nationalist as they come, and I still fucking love it.

Enjoy the books, hate the casting in the show.

It fucking sucks at continuity and a lot of the characters suck dick. I still marathonned all three seasons in a week though.

Sorry for the questions, I come from a house and a social circle with no book culture so I gotta figure shit out. (Finishing up Southern Reach trilogy btw only after watching Annihilation.)

Because they killed the only interesting character the series had in episode 2.

Too much forced diversity and leftists agendas

I was just going to make a thread about Dark Matter, specifically asking for more like it. Is the expanse good?

>FUCK there's like 12 books. I'm curious, did you read the books (that had been released at the time) before the show came out?
I finished the first three before finding out the show existed.

How do you find what books to read?
Work. Find out what genre you like (scifi, fantasy, etc) then just go on google and search for "classic scifi novels" or popular, best selling, etc. Once you find an author you like, look up what books that author recommends and go from there. Go on Yea Forums or other forums and make a thread asking for good recommendations. Go to a book store and go through the genre aisle and read the summary of every book (covers are useless for judging quality) and write down the ones that sound interesting. Get an Audible account and like the books you enjoy, it will recommend similar books for you and you can listen to books while driving/doing other shit. But most importantly, dont be afraid of taking a chance on a new series. I didnt like 50% of the books I tried and thats normal. Dont let yourself get lazy and stop looking for new shit. Just like all entertainment, the good stuff is buried under a pile of garbage you have to sift through.

But its always worth it.

Ah, yes, I am the cringey faggot.

There's territorial conflicts and nationalism, not sure if that's what he meant. Everyone is colorblind to race because the populations got so mixed, but martians and belters are physically weaker than people born on Earth because of lesser gravity.
seewhy wouldn't space have a lot of black people in the future? It would be unrealistic to have everyone be a straight white male. I'm all for accuracy in historical stories.

no. You could just google it. In meme terms it's game of thrones in semi-realistic space setting.

I've made lists over the years of sci books to read, even bought a bunch, but kind of overwhelmed myself. I need to not be lazy and just start reading them. I was more curious how people choose to read certain modern novels that somehow end up being tv shows. I guess people just read a lot of shit and sometimes they make media out of them.

It's not on HBO so people who know about it feel shame. Instead of feeling superior to others and lording their knowledge of it over them, they hide their knowledge of it. Knowledge of the show therefore stays hidden.

They also cant really cast the right people for the job of martian marines.
Because where are you going to find a 2m tall polynesian woman with muscles who could crush a man like a twig and the face of a supermodel.

>Too much forced diversity and leftists agendas
One of the main plot points in the story is racial tension.
However, in the world of the Expanse people are generally pretty mutted at this point and the real conflict is between groups of humans that have lived in different conditions for so long that they are physicall different from their counterparts on mars/earth/belt.
When someone is 7 foot tall, thin as a rail and can't stand up in a gravity well you're going to hold that against them before you notice that their brown...their skin/race in the classic sense is irrelevant.
Having a diverse cast actually highlights how different but the same their world is to ours.
Race conflict is still a thing, just not in the way we imagine it.

Can't really get away with not having this in a show set in the future, realistically. I know cletus might beg to differ; thinking somehow the whites are going to pull through and contain all the coloreds to favelas on earth while whites rule space, but that's quite a red neck fantasy.At least the show doesn't get to caught up in our modern political issues, and just sticks to their own universe.
>Earthers are just a bunch of old white evil men
Just the one guy. The other evil earther is an asian. I guess you could qualify the white leader guy as "evil", but he's mostly just oblivious and a bit stupid.
>Mars is more technologically and socially advanced and full of black people
Mars is suppose to be made up of an odd mix of Indian, Chinese and Texan. There aren't even much Blacks either, and most I'd guess came on after the fact; joining the military to gain Mars citizenship. It's why you have the White girl who's from a family that gets to live under the dome with plants and oxygen, while the Blacks are stuck to the more artificial enclosed boxes.
>Stron female Martian soldier that neeeds no man
Not sure why she should need a man...and they don't even push that agenda with her at all. She even ends up having a crush on a dude later. And it's less to do with "strength" and more about training and determination, as her suit does most of the heavy lifting. (think Samus from Metroid)
>suddenly interracial BMAF young couple out of fucking nowhere.
The kids?
>next scene a scientist says the black kid is the genetically superior candidate to be a super soldier infected with the Alien virus.
The kid is half white, half black, so a typical Amerimutt. For whatever reason, the kids with some kind of genetic disease, are good candidates for this Alien thing. Not really anything to do with "superiority".

The hardest space sci-fi show probably ever. The reason it is so polarizing is that some anons can appreciate the attention to detail while normalfags really can't tell what makes the show good and thus think it's just weird and stupid.

>science fiction
Here why.

Used to enjoy the show until I read the books and realized that everyone acts super retarded for the sake of cheap drama. Jesus Christ it's bad, and the "muh belters are good boys they didn't do nuffin" attitude doesn't help.

>The hardest space sci-fi show probably ever
It gets points for that and its a big part of the setting, but i have to admit that sometimes they do things in the show that trigger me because you wouldn't do that in zero g
>lean against a wall
>place a tool/object on a surface
>support yourself on railings
I get that its not like you can film in zero g but i feel there are certain things the director could be telling the crew to do/not do that would make it more believable.
Probably just because i'm a bookfag though,and so much of the action in the books revolves around the gravity/physics issue.

It's better with her as less Indian looking. Not because I have anything against Indians (not true), but this way, the interracial relationships extend past just the white + other types. Indians shouldn't be allowed to skip out on the interracial relationship future either; so in my books, she's persian/iranian, and she's in a mixed race relationship with a pajeet.

Sorry Pekka, you're too autistic for space travel.

>I guess people just read a lot of shit and sometimes they make media out of them
Thats pretty much it. And a good thing to understand now is to not ever get excited. Book adaptions are almost always garbage because script writers and directors have to make changes to fit the format, then they make more changes because they think they can make it better.

One last thing. Just like you cant trust Yea Forums to know anything good, dont ever avoid a book because people shit talk it. You might enjoy it and never know it. Unless you meet someone who has your exact taste in series, then maybe, but thats a unicorn.

As soon as I heard that one of the female mutt protagonists had a British accent I dropped it. Why does this stupid fucking accent appear everywhere in sci-fi now it's fucking annoying?

It's like an Indian Theresa May.

All "hard" sci fi (which is just sci-fi, no need for hard), has elements of fiction, but real sci-fi doesn't over do the fiction. The Expanse still has, or at least did until the end of last season, more sci than it does fi. Not like star trek or other "sci-fi" space shows that are far more fi than sci.

Because they use Britbong actors.

The Finns are all probably on Pluto, beating their naked selves with barbed wire while rolling around in the frozen atmosphere in between saunas.

Remember that time one of Russia's STRONK engineers drilled a hole in the Soyuz crew module which triggered all of the pressure alarms in the ISS because it was literally leaking air into space.

How do you count that, screentime showing magic < screentime showing non-magic? Of course every scifi needs some fi to work, for example in this case it'd be the constant acceleration drive, but when the centerpiece, the most important element of the setting, the motivation of every important character, is literally magic, and you can solve apocalypse-tier problems will love, I don't think "hard sci-fi" is an accurate description.

this guy is a bit extreme, he doesn't even have a handle cover for his barbed wire whip. The metal would get very hot to hold in your hand so I hope he covers the handle with a towel or something like a logical person, especially if his 10-year old cousin will be doing the whipping.

Its not really magic.
It takes a long time to actually discover how the protomolecule works and what it does which takes place over several novels.
I guess its the whole 'magic and advanced science are indistinguishable from each other' trope but it is the mystery element of the series.
The point is you have this very real human world with human technology and human politics but the 'magic' throws a wrench into it

Wrong, bitchboy.

Season 3 is the greatest season of sci-fi TV ever.

season 1 was pretty meh though. I agree that it has grown into a great series, but that quality wasn't there right from the beginning.

Because theyre the sperglords from /pol/ that cant disassociate fiction from real life, and are bleeding into other boards and shitting up threads like the cancer they are.. They use the same line they meme against liberals, ironically. Everything is maxists, sjw, diversity pandering to them. This is why they hate everything, with their 1 digit IQ explanation being,
>race
>women
=
>bad.

Ignore them. Its a good show.

Count? No need to be so autistic about it. It's usually fairly evident without actually counting. Take Star Trek for example: they tend to look at every tech and say "what would a futuristic thing look like" instead of just utilizing tech we already have or making small changes. The Expanse, Aliens aside, only makes small changes to existing real tech for the sake of making space travel/life a reality. The alien shit, well, at least you can say maybe some alien tech would be magic to us.

It's just a rip off of several animes, done worse.

Bad acting is bad acting

They have to box everything so they can have some tentative grasp on understanding stuff

yea I noticed the same scifi cliches of ancient aliens who mysteriously disappeared leaving behind advanced tech and zombie infection stuff.

Book naomi was as much asian and european as she was a african.
A mutt if you will.

He's literally Jon Snow in space, both are fucking retarded and I have no idea how they got the roles in question.

Halo isn't even the first IP to make use of any of these concepts, zoomer.

Yeah, but on the other side i really liked what they did with ashford.
I had little love for book ashford.

Holden. It's all Steven Straits fault.

Blows it out of the water

he didn't imply that it was. Halo itself was a total Aliens ripoff.

because the entire cast is a bunch of 56% american creaturas

nobody likes niggers

It's absolutely retarded to have nogs, poos and emotional women in space. Good chance to suffer the fate of Detoilet.

I'm not sure
I do know that I didn't care about it, but after finally seeing the adverts spammed on Amazon I started watching it
then almost binge-watched all three seasons
show is so good that even knee-deep in diversity it's still a great watch
the only problem IMO was that the female martian sergeant wasn't nearly masculine or built enough to play the role

It'd be impossible to cast belters, they're not just extremely tall and skinny, they also have oversized heads and you'd have to represent all their habitats being low G.

It's a case of suspension of disbelief. You just have to accept they can't find a bunch of weird lanklets with big heads to play belters.

Bland main character, acting most of the time is just ok.

the books were just a fun ride with a somewhat likable crew through a never ending shit storm. They always made it through relatively unscathed and went on another adventure

The show plot is a somewhat fun ride with only half the crew likable though a never ending shit show with good moments.

Kek, go watch some reality tv then.

somehow Amos is more interesting despite playing a nearly-soulless meathead
the main guy reminds me too much of someone's self insert
I do like how his constant do-gooding just gets everyone killed

I loved all the shit Bobbie talked about how the MCRMC was ready to invade Earth at a moments notice and how they'd completely outclass the UN army because oo-rah, martian muhreen corps.

Then she arrives on Earth and starts having panic attacks from the fucking sky.

Half the Martian marines would be dead within fifteen minutes of landing in a Earth slum-district after they get overwhelmed by gangbangers and the other half would be chained up in some commie block and being used a cumdumps, since they have a 50/50 gender policy in their marine corp apparently.

UN military wouldn't even be needed.

Then the UN counter-invasion would drob millions of expendable grunts on Mars where they'd all have super-strength compared to the natives and fight like devils because they're all former slum kids with nothing to lose, unlike the highly educated and pampered Martians, so Martian habitat domes would just turn into massive orgies of rape after UN victory until their military police could restore order.

Mars is basically setting itself up to be Nazi Germany vs Soviet Union 2.0.

>somehow Amos is more interesting despite playing a nearly-soulless meathead
Because he was probably a meathead himself or met a lot of meatheads (guy was in the army)

In the books the character is terribly written. The writers clearly haven't actually met/got to know anyone with an actual rough background and/or violent streak, Amos comes across like a kid trying to act hard on the playground.

It's pretty menacing on the show

That's 90% of the actor, he's not got a lot of material to work with but still manages to sell it.

I love more organic looking technology, it's a shame more shows don't go with this and instead go with the standard Knights: In Space! appearance with hard, interlocking plates and sharp iPhone edges.
