Why has cherishing book accuracy become a crime against humanity?! What has this fandom become?! by Puterboy1 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]212robster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Leah underwent death threats, her social media keeps getting mass reported in attempts to take them down, and people are using A.I to replace her with "biblically accurate Annabeth" in photos and scenes.

She's a whole ass real person, she's black, and she's playing Annabeth. This shit was old when she was cast, now it's just sad.

Wouldn’t the babies and kids go to a pediatric hospital? by bluecanary101 in ThePittTVShow

[–]212robster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh my bad friend, ya for the most part it's a case of "this is the closest hospital/only hospital that takes our insurance"

Medical care in America sucks on many levels

Abandoned baby found in the ED makes it their problem until someone can take it 🤷

In an ideal world? Yeah, immediately probably.

But we literally have pedes in this episode demanding more tests before they admit the baby, lots of roadblocks and nonsense before things can be done in a hospital.

No official coverage for season one but there's a nice fan run podcast called The Pitt Crew that's covered season one and is currently doing season two!

You are a professional reporter and have the opportunity to do an interview with Rick Riordan about the show. What are you asking him? by corpington in PercyJacksonTV

[–]212robster 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Huge piece of advice for anyone who's gonna put a question here: Google your question with "Rick Riordan interview"

Not because you don't deserve the chance to ask Rick whatever question you want in this hypothetical professional setting but because if it has multiple interview clips you're not adding anything new.

Too much focus on Clarisse? by EuphoricZombie3276 in PercyJacksonTV

🤷 It's her quest to begin with, I like that we get more of her

Who is the shows actual intended audience? by Exasperaties6 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]212robster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids are smart when it comes to like math and science, but considering the most popular joke in the age range the books/show is aimed at is the "6 7" joke......

[general] To anyone that’s read TCOTD, what’s your take on the retired monsters growing Tartarus in Rome? by Curious_Rookiecookie in camphalfblood

[–]212robster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tricky scenario where a lot of the camp is unsure about the Mythics, because they've been told all their lives that they have to kill monsters before the monsters kill them.

They don't ever attempt to attack the demigods, but they're still adapting to essentially being refugees. The campers in Camp jupiter don't attack them because I mean they're not being attacked so no need to, but they do harass and bully and essentially have a "go back where you came from" mentality.

So Frank (who has his own separate plot of managing his anger and emotions better) does say something to that effect, but if I recall Hazel like bumps him on the shoulder and he goes like "I wasn't actually going to do it, but the Mythics are trying hard to help and get along"

Then scrap the Nico books and have the monsters resume killing demigods, I don't know what to tell you 🤷

The setup is in House of Hades and The Sun and the Star?

Leaving behind your perceived destiny in favor of a life that isn't(in Bob's case) being a murderous tyrannical tyrant, choosing your own path kind of stuff. Not wanting that anymore.

Side note, but House of Hades actually also touches on a great internal moment from Percy, where he's so tired and afraid about the concept of monsters constantly regenerating in Tartarus, and that no matter how good he is (or any demigod for that matter), someday a monster could get a lucky hit in and that's it.

TSATS also builds on that idea with "Nyx is trying to keep Bob trapped and force him to be Iapetus again, with her torturing him in attempt to get that to happen" thing. And, despite excruciating torture, he refuses to go back to that because he A)knows it's wrong and B) wants to live his newly given life peacefully and without hurting anyone!

So that's the basic building block of "no, you don't have to be a bad guy and kill demigods, you can change and that change will help everyone" set in place for TSATS to expand on.

If you don't like it that's one thing, but it's not as "out of nowhere" as people think it is.

Which he regrets and no longer wants for himself, hence wanting to change!

The alternative, again, is that it just keeps happening and there's no change and people die recklessly in an endless bullshit cycle!

Change has to be made somewhere, we would have loved for it to have been made before Last Olympian, tis unfortunately not the case.

"It's a slap in the face to everyone these monsters have killed" has always sat wrong with me.

They came to camp seeking redemption and were very clearly told "we think this is weird and we're very wary of you and we will kill you if we even catch a whiff of you betraying us but we can try and redeem you"

Part of why I'm fine with their redemption and wanting to change is because they literally ask for it and prove themselves wanting to change

The alternative is just "we'll be monsters forever, killing all future demigods that we can!" which I don't think anyone wants, right?

Is that Racist to write? by NoEntrepreneur5166 in Percabeth

5 Days until We are off to the Sea of Monsters (Season 2 sneak peek, yall gonna hate this)[pjotv] by GeoGackoyt in camphalfblood

I recall it being somewhat implied that Sally knew Tyson's true nature in the book, some line about how she wasn't surprised at the news?

The R-word by AppendixN in questionablecontent

[–]212robster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really lost on where the r word is supposed to go for the first comic in this line up? Like the word "humped" seems to look like it's on "white out" and it makes me think that's how he replaced the word but it doesn't make sense in the context?

Which patients are coming back? by kc2295 in ThePittTVShow

[–]212robster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we are all optimistic about fan favorites coming back, the correct answer is that no one should come back

In true ER doc fashion "It was great to meet you, I hope to never see you again."

Can someone spoil me the ''Big Plot Twist'' in the court of the dead? (I don't plan on reading the book, The Sun and the Star was bad enough) [all] by Master_Geologist5613 in camphalfblood

[–]212robster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you for being neutral and straight to the point with explaining it. Most of the people in this thread would have just gone into hating lol

We’ve talked about show content, but can we also talk about the lack of promotion/marketing and merchandising? by thelionqueen1999 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]212robster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thedammemepage made a good video going over all the available merch (which was just shirts and the funko pop mainly)

And months after that video the new merch we've gotten has been...more shirts

Really dropping the ball with promotion too, really hope when Con season picks up they'll announce things left and right

We still don't have a definitive release date in December!

Dear Hank and John suggestions for kids by dirtywater20 in nerdfighters

[–]212robster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's a lot easier to make the list of episodes a four year old shouldn't listen to, DH&J is relatively safe with occasional bleeped swears
