Them being tall is just not interesting enough to be worth dealing with the complication of filming every shot as a special effect. Does it affect the plot? Are the Belters at some point called upon to defend the Belt against Earth in a 5 on 5 pickup basketball game? It just doesn't matter.

Not worth the effort/CGI costs.

You'd have to plan every shot around her standing on a box, which is difficult in an action role. Could be done in a movie, but for a TV show it's asking a bit much.

Really?

Cool, kind of went ahead and got the ebook and audiobook for the 2nd one.

With minimal spoilers, how much do ayys play into the rest of the series? What got me excited was the play between earth, mars and belters. Felt kind of like Planetes or Gundam or something.

>>79702086
Better technology, more motivation. Mars could never wage total war on Earth because accelerating Phobos or blocks of tungsten into the Earth would basically screw most of the human race while Earth has no such restriction since Mars is already barren. The only way Mars could hope to win is to rapidly kill the shit out of Earth's military.

what season does char aznable show up
>>
>>79701924
Yeah it seems retarded Mars didn't lift a finger to help out when Eros was going to destroy Earth. There's so much air and water on Earth they could've used
>>
>>79702155
The planet has basically no more space for humans to expand into, technology has advanced to the point where most people are welfare parasites and you have to show special aptitude to even get a job, and the UN is the oldest of the three factions. Resource excesses and decadence basically.

>>
>>79702162
Did all their top scientists fuck off to Mars or something?
>>
>>79702155
Earth has something like five times the population and most of them are on basic cause not enough jobs to go around. Whereas Mars are more or less literal fascists with everyone contributing to society through work in the terraforming project or the military.
>>
>>79702216
Thank you was wondering if i missed it
>>
>>79702199
What could they do - especially considering they are close to war?
>>
>>79702221
Mars is in the middle of a massive terraforming project in which most of their society is involved. While their tunnel cities are already more than enough to sustain life, most martians have invested their lives into making Mars into a second earth, so it makes sense that their society would produce more scientists.

Could've launched nukes of their own. And weren't there supposed to be a bunch of martian ships in the area around Eros before it started for Earth?
>>
>>79702403
>Could've launched nukes of their own
That totally won't be misinterpreted(!)

>And weren't there supposed to be a bunch of martian ships in the area around Eros before it started for Earth?
It hadn't reached Eros before it took off.
And the Roci struggled to keep up - so there is no way it could catch it.
>>
>>79702227
Is there anyway to avoid this future?
>>
>live comfortable on welfare fucking their VR waifu.
UN welfare (called 'basic') is quite literally (space) bread and water, nobody on earth wants to be on basic because life on basic is awful.

But there are only so many jobs alot of earth's population is forced into basic.


On an absolute scale the UN is militarily, economically and politically more powerful. But mars is per capita, better in every way (especially economically) the only exception that it has much fewer territories outside mars than the UN.

Mars is forced to build higher quality people, ships and technologies because they will never, ever match earth for numbers

Naturally nobody wants a war because even if mars loses, it will be very, very bloody.

Bookfags, redpill me on this: protomolecule needs biomass to build jumpgate, right? Why is Venus even a good idea when it harbors no biomass? Sulfuric acid and 737 Kelvin isn't conducive to life in any regard.
>>
>>79702162
Couldn't Mars still level a couple major cities? Leave most of the resources untouched but would severely cripple the earth's financial and government apparatuses.
>>
>>79702507
No, the book is pretty spot on
>>

Boy, future Earth sounds awful. I'm switching to Mars Defence Force if they get some non shit actors/characters.
>>
fuck man

F miller. F

that was one fucking intense episode.
>>
>>79702919
Because it still contains a shitload of raw materials, the protomemeicule is extremely adaptable. Venus is far from it's ideal environment but it already had some biomass to work with on Eros, it can generate more given resources to work with and so while Venus has no life it has plenty of volatile chemicals in the atmosphere, active geology, and plenty of minerals.
>>
>>79702507
Get the species into space before it gets that bad. Problem is we're nowhere near that point yet, and by the time we get there space will be a playpen for richies and people with PhDs for decades before regular normies will get a chance, and by then it will only be for menial labor and people on the lam.
>>
>>79702986
Okay, so it's not BIOMASS it requires, just a buttload of raw materials ganked from 1/2 the periodic table. Got it, thanks.
>>
>>79702507
>Implying.
Welfare states are failing on the regular but people still think it's just a fucking peachy idea. Sorry m8 we're already there but we just don't have fusion spaceships, skinny belter gfs, or qt ayylmao gfs.
>>
>>79702925

Earth's big fear is Martians throwing asteroids at Earth and nuclear wintering the planet.
>>
>>79703022
Well it needs some biomass to form it's "factories" so that it can actually harvest and utilize raw material, but basically yes.
>>
I tried to get into the books (almost through with the first one) but the prose just somehow feels dull and obtuse. It's like something the authors just wanted to get over with and focus on the world building (which I can appreciate.) It reads a bit like a screenplay. Does it get better?
>>
>>79702919
>>79702986
Not sure what it needs exactly but Venus could possibly generate amino acids in its environment
>>
>>79703028
>or qt ayylmao gfs
any advice on how to get one?
>>
>>79702919
i guessing biomass is its ideal source of materials, but not essential

We're all made of molecules, i'm guessing biomass is the just the right "blend" of molecules.

even the books are vague as exactly how, what or why the protomeme works

They could show a bit more restraint and just cripple the cities rather than obliterating them. No nukes, no mass drivers that wipe out a whole county, just a few pinpoint strikes that level a few city blocks apiece in Manhattan, London, Berlin, Beijing, etc. Turn NYC into swiss cheese, but don't knock it down so hard that half of NA goes dark from the dust.

Kill Mormons.
>>
>>79703165
That sounds like it'd be hard.
Its easy to send a big rock for a massive third impact but something smaller will need more precision and it'd be easier for the defenses to shoot it down or put it off course
Like nukes you'd have to send many at once at about the same time to overcome the defenses, but if two or more small rocks made it past and hit the same intended spot then what would be the point
>>
GAS
>>
>>79703234
Another way you could bypass planetary defenses is to drop a few blocks of tungsten coated in sneeki beeki stealthship meme material.

The miller Julie scene was really beautiful. And while this show is going to be short lived. I am glad we got to see it. Few things this show will ever pay off quite so well or be that deserving. Fucking Miller. It really is Miller time.
>>
>>79703652
You guys sound sure this will be canceled. Is it that dire?
>>
>>79703700
Syfy does not have a history of letting good things live.
>>
>>79703700
don't worry about it being cancelled, netflix is already hosting it for the international audience, so it's a safe bet they'd take over the show if syfy doesn't want to do it anymore.
>>
>>79703700

It has 28,000 votes on IMDB. Rick and Morty has 100,000. So uh, that's a story in itself. Game of Thrones has over 1 million votes.
>>
>>79703725
Would Syfy really be stupid enough to sell off something that Netflix is eyeing hungrily? Then again, having Netflix buy it off them might be more appealing then trying to keep a production this expensive afloat themselves. Plus they don't have the international exposure that Netflix does so they couldn't hope to match Netflix's return anyway.
>>
>>79703725
this would be so perfect for netflix, i'm glad that there is a back up plan just in case. shame though this show really deserves more love
>>
>>79703782

They really fucked up by not polishing the first 3 episodes. All of my friends that I've tried to get into this have quit it before it gets good.
>>
>>79703777
Oh damn
I knew it wasn't that popular but damn
Syfy will likely cancel it...
Hopefully Netflix picks it up.
>>
>>79703828
The best parts told or skipped have already happened so I'm happy. There's really only one part left.
>>
>>79703876
Isn't the book series ongoing though?
>>
>>79703782
i don't really follow all the ratings and viewer stuff, but from what i understand the expanse isn't performing like syfy hoped it would. i think next season will make or break it. game of thrones wasn't very popular until around the third season. netflix will probably try to buy it from them and turn it into an original.
>>
>>79703948

First book was the best book by far, I thought. But then again I am a shit reader. I forget things quickly and then start to lose interest because I don't know what's going on.

Nah. Everyone eaten on Eros is still quasi-alive because the protomeme doesn't really give a shit about their personalities or even know that they still exist, so they "live" in a nightmare state reliving their own deaths over and over while still partially aware of what's happened to them as the protomolecule reuses them to preform various tasks.

I feel like this series could be much better without the stupid proto molecule crap. The setting is very interesting, with the dynamic between the Earth / Belt / Mars, but the proto molecule plot is just so ham-fisted, like the writer couldn't make something that was just political intrigue and instead had to have some ayy lmao bullshit because sci-fi isn't sci-fi without that stuff.

Also, the whole Eros moving itself, how the fuck did it generate thrust, especially thrust that fast to get to Venus in that short amount of time?

Shut up retard. She's pretty fucking buff. Visible muscle simply means low bodyfat.
>>
>>79705535
Dark Matter is similar, in the sense of following a crew's adventures whilst being in the middle of space drama.
The difference is that Expanse has political issues, and Dark Matter has interpersonal trust issues/character drama.

Expanse is "serious"
Dark Matter is turn your brain off, considering how nearly every episode has some kind of fight scene or gunfight in which the body count reaches double digits.

Expanse is a better show, but Dark Matter is more fun
