@dreyfusslugado my exact thoughts as I watched this

@dreyfusslugado ++

“I love the Murderbot”

Maybe more campy than I was expecting? Also, although I know it is not canon, in my head Murderbot is female-presenting.

@grantbarrett me too

Ha! I was coming here to post the trailer, but you beat me to it!

@grantbarrett - I agree and I think it's interesting because the books never really lean in any direction on how Murderbot presents and when we found out they had cast Skarsgard I was surprised because I always imagined Murderbot as female-presenting, but then I found out my wife and daughter had both always imagined them as male-presenting. It's kind of fascinating. Also - yeah I agree the tone was different and lighter than I was expecting but I think it can work (and will probably be more accessible to people who haven't read the books).

I also admit that I'm strangely excited to see how "soapy" they get with Sanctuary Moon...

I’m going to like this. Judging by the trailer it’s a little different than the tone of the books (the version I had in my head anyhow).

@grantbarrett et. al me four... or if not female per se, at least more neuter/ less binary than an actual male human. Kinda my primary reaction to the trailer aside from the de rigor "please don't ruin the thing i like."

Not how I pictured it in my head, but I want this to be good so badly.

I mean in the book, canonically, Murderbot is androgynous and agender. But yes I always pictured it as a somewhat butch enby.
