Also Sorry But I'm Not Sold On "they Only Have 8 Episodes" As A Defense For Why The Show Is Falling Flat

also sorry but i'm not sold on "they only have 8 episodes" as a defense for why the show is falling flat as both a show and an adaptation. 8 episodes is roughly 5 hours. that's 3 hours more than most movies lol. that should be plenty of time to adapt all the most important things, they're just not using their screen time as well as they could be. sorry i don't think it should actually be this hard to fit the essential core of the lightning thief's story and characters into 5 hours. the movie and musical were both 2 hours give or take and they still did certain things better. skill issue

thinking about how they said grover was affected the most out of everyone bc he was alone and how nico and bianca stayed for 70 years inside that hotel and didn't forget each other bc they were always within reach and how that little detail makes their story even more devastating bc they got through it together and the moment they got out they get separated and then bianca never comes back

Suzanne collins wrote a trilogy where a main media propaganda strategy was to market a horrific act of violence as a love story to distract ppl and then it got adapted into a box office breaking movie and ppl made it all about the love triangle. so then since they didn’t get the point the first time Suzanne collins wrote a prequel story about the main dictator and she makes it so that you as a reader want it to be a genuine love story so badly even tho it’s so very clearly not and instead feels extremely unsettling to make her point even more meta which then gets adapted into another box office breaking film and now ppl are making romantic snowbaird tik toks. do u think she’s gonna write another book that’s somehow even more blatant or just give up and start executing ppl? hard to say but I wouldn’t blame her for the second one

genuinely feel like the writers were approaching the lightning thief with a blood of olympus era mentality. like chiron asking percy if he agreed with luke's points? that is something percy thinks about five years from now walking through tartarus. a lot of the attitude they gave percy and especially sally regarding the gods, the overall tone of the show, is more reminiscent of how the characters we're meeting now started to feel after the titan war had ended. i think it will be interesting to see how they escalate these feelings if we are starting at the book canon's peak of anti-olympus sentiment

like sorry it was a good episode i liked it but they missed like. the deeper meanings of some choices and actions like luke genuinely trying to kill percy and almost succeeding. like sally choosing to defeat her monster.

what was clarisse's plan in dumping percy into the lake?

"You're gonna be okay?"

"I don't know, it depends, you're gonna ask me this all the time?" Clarisse muffled in her boyfriend's shoulder, her head tucked against it.

Fortunately, no one was near her cabin at the moment therefore she could allow herself some PDA without anyone interrupting them.

"Sorry. I'm just worried about you." Chris said with a tone that was meant to be casual but she knew him for years by now; his worry was more than palpable.

She sighed and squeezed his hand in her own. Sometimes, she truly thought she didn't deserve him.

"I just... I miss her, Chris. I still can't believe she's gone."

"I know... I'm gonna miss her too. But at least she's with Beck' now. She's in peace, and she'd want you to be as well."

Clarisse shrugged. Her eyes focused on that ray of sunlight reflecting on one of Cabin 5's windows and that was announcing the end of the day. "It's gonna take some time, I think. And a lot of punching bags."

"I'll be here, if you need me. Always. But don't use me as a punching bag please."

She chuckled and slowly moved her head towards his. They were about to kiss when-

"Hey guys-woah! Private time here, eheh, too bad I don't have my camera."

"The heck you want Connor?" The daughter of Ares groaned at the other son of Hermes who was grinning at them.

"Well guess who else are about to go all kissy kissy? Guys it's Percabeth, something's happening!"

Chris rolled his eyes and said something about his brother acting like a fan girl but Clarisse frowned for a second before getting up.

"Get your annoying other half and the other Aphrodites. We're going to make them remember that kiss."

"Ooh, you're speaking my language for once La Rue. I'll get everyone, they're at the pavilion!" Connor said before dashing off excitedly.

Chris smiled at her and both followed him. Clarisse didn't know if it was going to make her feel better but at least, Silena's favorite ship was going to sail according to camp's tradition.

it is definitely cannon that everyone at camp calls Percy "Annabeth's boyfriend". They'll be showing a new kid around the place and be like "oh yeah, that's Annabeth's boyfriend, Percy. He's also the hero of olympus, beat the god of war, and a child of poseidon or whatever."
