Belters (and any other faction in The Expanse) aren't made to be universally good or bad. There's good and bad people everywhere, and it's up to us to decide who we like.
Also, Miller is a true gigachad and remains one of my favourite characters even after I finished the show and the books.
Unfortunately the show did have a pretty pro UN-bias in their view. You’re not wrong that there’s good and bad people, but damn the show did some factions dirtier than others. But I think trying to paint the other perspectives would have led to confusion in the show.
Corners and doors kid, corners and doors.
I really like the show but I have a love hate relationship with the belters, like you said they are just unorganized so you cant really treat them like a group really, also Camina Drummer is the best!! close tie with Amos
Shouldn’t be spoilers below for the story.
The books did a vastly better job of showing the diverging perspectives, one that really stuck out was the show really didn’t show how the belters viewed Basic Assistance, it was always seemingly a pro un viewpoint in the show, the belters were “the enemy”. I think that’s just the issue with medium and not wanting to confuse watchers maybe.
Each chapter of the book is from the persons personal perspective, it’s really different when you’re actually the character that’s talking.
~~Haven't met Camina Drummer yet.~~ Just finished 2x12, where they escaped Ganymede. But I've heard good things about her.
Amos is fricking awesome. He is like a huge Teddy Bear or Brother.
And I have to say, the Showrunners really know how to deploy a potent Stinger. I was super happy that they escaped, even with the refugees. But then the final pan over the Rocinate and her gaping hole... God damn it!
Oh I'm stupid. yes, of course Camina is awesome. I didn't associate that Name with her yet.
Beltalowda!
You’re in for a wild wide!
And it's very fun this far.
