Comment on The Expanse: A Telltale Series Redband Trailer
CountVon@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoI hear you, normally I’d recommend books before adaptations so it feels weird to be doing otherwise here. In this particular case I think it makes sense though. The main character of the game ties directly to same character’s depiction in the TV show, while the book version of that character is actually three or four different characters.

Yeah, I can understand why they condense characters. The Expanse books are horribly unoptimized for adaptations, a lot of side characters only appear for one book or even a few chapters and still carry enough relevance to the plot so you can’t just cut them. It was fun reading the books after the show and trying to guess which character got merged with which

Drummer specifically got so many characters merged into her because the actress is fantastic and they wanted to keep working with her.
