There Was A Moment When The People In The Movie Theatre And The Capitol Audience In The Stands Were Laughing

there was a moment when the people in the movie theatre and the capitol audience in the stands were laughing at the same things, having the same reactions to the games, to the deaths, to flickermans jokes, to the doctor's announcement...i wonder aren't we watching it for entertainment too

suzanne collins' books may exist in popular culture as "dystopian", but they have always been a meticulous and startlingly close social critique of our world. at what point does our own idolization of the movies and the books repeat that story? we watch just as the capitol audience does.

all dystopia eventually crosses a line from realistic futurism to current relevancy. how long will it take us to realize we've already crossed that line with these books? and the very people who need to realize this are the ones in that audience...real or fake, we're the same: consuming and consuming.

Something that is confusing me is how many people are defending the changes Rick made and defending Rick himself in regards to the show.

He lied to us.

He got the entire fandom to hype up the show, got the show made on the basis of getting a book accurate adaption. This was supposed to be something accurate to the books, including the book characters, the book scenes, the book stakes- we were supposed to get to see our favorite moments in the books on screen.

And then he went and rewrote the book.

This adaption isn't the book we read. The characters aren't the characters we read. Grover's personality was wholesale replaced. This is something entirely new-

And whether you like it for itself is a different matter entirely, but the point is that... this isn't The Lightning Thief that we read years ago.

He lied to us.

“ B*tch, This Is France. ”

“ B*tch, this is France. ”

immediately, percy walking into crusty’s water bed palace saying “i know who you are. you’re procrustes. son of poseidon, murderer of travelers” and “i know the beds are a trap” and “i know there’s a secret entrance to the underworld here” and i know this and i know that is making me want to rip rickald to shreds and gnaw on his bones. so they know about medusa before they enter her lair. so they know about the lotus casino before they go inside. so they know everything about everything and there’s no real element of discovery and revelation because he’s somehow armed with allll this knowledge he’s not supposed to have, drastically reducing the stakes and excitement of one of the most naturally exciting plot lines ever, completely slamming a wrecking ball into the fact that he’s a 12 year old on his first quest who has to learn that everything is a trap and reality is never what it seems. so now instead of the three of them running unknowingly into procrustes’s creepy business as they’re trying to escape a gang of LA street bullies (bc surprise surprise the real world is where the monsters also are), he just fucking walks in and knows everything with a plan already hatched, courtesy of annabeth. how are you going to make me hate the episode five seconds in?

Guys I found the cutest Percabeth tiktok (classicalgreeklaserguns and ashlee.tayla)

BTW this is a future problem but I don’t want to see any of it-

No one better do to Percabeth what some people in the Flash fandom tried doing to Westallen. Percabeth is endgame. They always have been and they always will be both in the source material and they will be in the show. If I see anyone pulling some snowberry bullshit out of they’re ass with Rachel or Calypso or whoever else the fandom decides to make some kind of de facto white female lead because they’re racist I’m gonna fucking scream.

Percabeth is the definition of a slowburn friends to lovers ship and if anyone even attempts to argue against it in light of the casting indisputably racist. I saw this happen in the Flash when it took a few seasons for Barry and Iris to get together and no matter how much those people claimed it wasn’t about race it clearly was.

We’re not doing that.

Leah and Walker are Annabeth and Percy. And Percabeth will be endgame.

NO YOU DID NOT 😭

the only valid part of that outtake is percy liking spicy food. latino percy confirmed!

The Only Valid Part Of That Outtake Is Percy Liking Spicy Food. Latino Percy Confirmed!

this is the only canon exchange rick riordan has ever written

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
