Fixing Sci-Fi's Biggest Problem

[@OutOfElmo]

The art is top-shelf, but unfortunately, none of the characters even remotely resemble their descriptions in the books. All the females look the same, too cute young and innocent, and the males are too muscular and handsome. Bobby needs to look wasted, used up and skinny, Molly needs to look tough and in her early fourties’, Finn needs to look like an old human rat, not a glowing holographic god.

Finished Mona Lisa Overdrive last week. Now I need to thank you because your video about Count Zero reignited my interest to this whole series. A long time ago, I read Neuromancer, found it mildly boring and never got to read the other two books - until I found your amazing channel. Thanks, bro. Keep up the great work.

Thank you, I'm really happy to hear that you read the books due to my videos ! I will try to keep up the great work :)

[@seanjay9457]

Be sure to read count zero next, probably a better book

[@ifelse10110]

Hope you enjoy it !

i think halo and star wars are kinda in different positions for all the issues halo has now its more rooted in halo 5s created plotline being bad rather than the quality or content of the extended material. the halo books outside a few examples are extremely character or theme focused. while star wars has the new republic get destroyed or corrupted in the background of random books lmao

[@ifelse10110]

Star Wars has always had an extended Universe problem, as you said, but the movies acted as an anchor and held it all together nicely. However that central anchor has just got really bad in recent years and just made the situation worse. As for Halo, I think you are correct, it all went downhill from Halo 5, it was extra dumb what 343 did to the story there considering Halo 4 with all it's flaws was still a decent story.

the sprawl trilogy is fucking amazing

[@carlhassler5336]

I feel that comparing the Neuromancer trilogy to giant game and movie franchises like Star Wars(not even sci-fi) and Halo is a bit like comparing a vegetable to a fruit. Perhaps smething like A song of Ice and fire could have been a more apt comparison.

[@ifelse10110]

🤔That's actually a really good point. Thanks, this is one of those comments which you remember when making the next video.

a true prophet from his typewriter! love Neuromancer and the series Sprawl!

[@ifelse10110]

He sure is ! The man had some uncanny foresight .

[@seanjay9457]

Great video ! Definitly felt the same as you, the leaat cyberpunky of all the books.

[@ifelse10110]

Thanks ! Yea it was Kumikos story line which made me think this could be pretty much any sci-fi not just cyberpunk.
