Hopefully David Attenborough will never die.

Hard to believe the first Planet Earth came out nearly 20 years ago. It's still a "new" series in my mind.

He is 96 years old and looks healthier than many people i've seen who are still in their 40s....

Hope this time every shot is 4k and evenly color grades / mastered.
Great thing is that I have a son who’s right at the age where we watch a lot of these series together. Can’t wait.

This show is just way too primal if you're an animal

Talk about missing the point of the series. Everything dies.

Chris Packham is being lined up as his eventual replacement when the legend finally moves on and tbh he's doing a great job

I can't think of anything involving Sir David Attenborough that I haven't seen. I've been watching his wildlife programmes since the 1980s.

Great guy, on the right side of history. I wish more people would listen to him.

I think Chris Packam would make a worthy replacement to carry on the torch. I like his indepth presenting on Springwatch.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Excited for planet earth 3 knowing there’s footage we haven’t seen yet.

I am sure it will be awesome.
However I fear it will have more of the desperate hopelessness of what we have and are doing to our incredible planet. Hopeless for the average person.
For the average person other than say oh that is so terrible and then going to bed thinking about work; coordinated world wide government mandated action is the only way realistically to change anything and is it too late?.
For this reason and sorry to be debbie downer I am out, it will only serve to cause me pain in truth.

I hope this season dousent end with a bunch of orcas ramming a baby whale to death. I thought that was a bit of a harsh note to end the last series on.
Like throw us a bone for the end at least.

I don't want to sound like one of those weird people but I want him to just talk about nature and bugs and shit. I don't want anymore climate change doomsday lectures.
And this will be full of it.

They should dedicate one episode to climate change but leave it out of the rest. It got annoying really.

The planet is changing and ecosystems are being destroyed, no way around it.

live either finds a way or is dying out. I have no problem them showing the live of animals and their struggles in 2023, but the constant “it is our way of live that is taking this polar bears home away” is annoyingly preachy.
Realistically I can’t do shit about it, Megacorps can - either dedicate the show to inform people watching who is responsible for climate change and how to stop it or reduce the preaching.
But it’s not going to reduce my enjoyment of the series either way.
I was more elaborately nitpicking.

Jesus Christ. It's climate change Karen.

There's almost always been at least a hint of environmentalism in all of these nature documentaries for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, it wasn't about climate change but human expansion and deforestation. With all things it'll just be a matter of how much of emphasis they put on it. I think most people just don't want to be preached to.

These series aren't just meant for people to gawk at the beauty. They are meant to instill in viewers a desire to preserve that beauty.

I'm aware. Most of us are doing what is reasonable on an individual level.

Nice. Will probably download the series at some point. Definitely in it for the photography and cinematography. But will hover my finger on the ➔ button to fast-forward through the sections as soon as I get a whiff of any preachiness or lecturing. Maybe I'll even resort to AI to help automate re-encoding a clean version of the series.

If it's like "A Perfect Planet" It will be the last 5 minutes of each episode.

All these megacorps and mega celebrity wealth, preaching to you the peasant to cut back and live in squalor, while they never do or ever will do... flying around in their private planes, building their mega yachts, heating, cooling and electrifying their 30K SqFt homes... consuming luxury and environmental detrimental goods, from certain foods to their super cars .. but you, you peasant, must alter your lifestyle, not us.
Lead by example, I say. If we can do it, and a lot of us do, do our part currently, and we are expected to do it by these preachers... so should they.

1. How is it constant? It doesn't seem "constant" to me, but that could be a discrepancy in my perception.
2. Is climate change endangering the lives of some animals out in nature? Is this a fact? If so, how is pointing out facts annoyingly preachy? Because you can't do anything about it as an individual? Do you perceive that the "constant" messaging around this topic is directed at you specifically? How is your solution of dedicating one episode to it and then ignoring it the rest of the time a better way?

I could skip that episode.
As someone who does what he can to reduce my CO2 footprint (living in a flat, no car, do everything by cargobike and public transportation, no flying etc) I don’t need further preaching on the topic and just want to know how animals live, mate, hunt, etc.
