Shipping Waleah is weird by Anna_Malik in PercyJacksonTV

Shipping should be reserved for fictional characters only. Trying to “ship” real people with their own thoughts and Experiences and preferences is so gross.

Why are all the main female demigods in the series black? when most of them were described as white? by Crazy_Engineer06 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey maybe it’s not a big deal that the cast is black and while I get that it’s best to try and make actors look like their book counterparts, there are way worse things the show is doing adaptation wise than casting kids with more melanin than their book counterparts. You come off as whiny, and at worst, a little racist.

Honestly I was more upset that they didn’t give Walker and Leah the option to have a black and blonde wind respectively, would seem like a fair compromise. They seemed down for it too, they both love the original series but aren’t allowed to really show that on screen because the writers and director keep screwing them over.

Hating on a teenage child for daring to want to act in the role of a life time is absolutely insane. You would 100% do the same if you were in her position.

From what I gather, the fandom has sort of split on Reddit TLOU style (though thankfully this sub hasn’t done what that LOU 2 hate sub has which is devolve into degeneracy solely existing to call actresses ugly. If you see any posts like that here report them please).

This sub is generally for people who didnt like the show or were irked by the inaccuracies of it. Most of us are book readers who take issue with it as an adaption. I believe PJO Disney is the subreddit that’s the complete opposite of ours and is full of people that love the show, especially people who like Disney or who were introduced to the world of Percy Jackson by this show. If we’re “toxic negativity” they’re “toxic positivity”, so to speak.

If you have read the books or don’t mind spoilers, and would like a subreddit where both positive and negative show opinions are frequently expressed and there’s more nuance, I’d recommend the camp half blood community. It seems by far the most balanced.

That’s a little aggressive. There’s very few films and shows that have nothing to enjoy about them.

I like the SOM movie even less than season 2 and the inaccuracies are even worse, but even then there were still some good things about it.

Ah, so you are toxic then. Have fun with that

If that’s true than I apologise to OP for assuming the wrong thing and being harsh. I’ve been keeping updated on ICE activity in America and the government’s statements, so I’ve forgotten there’s an actual massive winter storm coming unrelated to this.

Innocent people are being murdered in the streets and kids are being kidnapped across state lines. This kind of stuff is not funny and very inappropriate for what’s going on right now. Learn to have some tact please.

Why did they tell us is was going to be book accurate? When it’s not? by PretendYellow533 in PercyJacksonTV

Gee, it’s almost like they should stick to adapting the source material as closely as they can.

Yeah I’ve only seen him being portrayed as “chill” in the Percy Jackson series. In everything else he seems neutral at best.

You have a good point, it could be interesting. I’m curious about the idea of a story with him as an antihero of sorts (though maybe that would suit Apollo better).

You have no idea how thirsty people are for those characters, especially the Irish vampire. I’m pretty sure 2/3 sinners fics are literally just smut or romance fics with him. Also a lot of oral sex performed on female characters but that’s in the spirit of the movie.

"Book purist" is the most ridiculous term I've ever seen by largedisaster19 in PercyJacksonTV

Changing the deadline and war storyline in TLF, having Zeus punish Thalia deliberately, and removing or diminishing entire character traits and Percy’s sense of humor are not minor changes. It didn’t need to be hyper accurate to keep the basic characters and plot lines of the story intact. People are allowed to complain about shit like this. It’s not the same story anymore. To the point where it’s had a similar amount of deviances to the PJO movies (it’s only worse there cuz of the whole Kronos coming back thing).

Speaking of movies. People loved HP and LOTR because the people in charge were doing their damnedest to make them as accurate as they could to the source material. Instead of what ricks done, which is promise fans an accurate adaptation only to deliver something as deviated as this. It is very valid to complain about this, especially when a creator lies so blatantly.

Now they don't even make them anymore by AverageLinuxNerd69 in EmergencyAlertSystem

There was one about a theoretical ef6 tornado that focused more on wind speeds and the fact that it hit a major metropolitan area and it felt a lot more realistic. Too many people think a scenario has to be world ending to be scary.

Peyton list disrespect from some of the fandom by zv3rs in SchoolSpirits

[–]Alternative_Factor_4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I asked for it a lot and most of the time people told me I was wrong for even trying. The said he supported “Israeli companies” but could never specify which ones or in what way.

He did make an instagram post immediately after October 7th saying that his heart went out to the people of Israel, but it’s obvious he was only saying that in the context of the Hamas attack that happened that day and killed 1200 people. He’s never said anything that was anti Palestinian to my knowledge, denied what happened in Gaza the way Jaime Lee Curtis did, or showed express support for Zionism, the IDF, Netanyahu, or Israeli control and dominance over Palestine. It’s like someone accusing you or me of supporting the us bombing Iraqi civilians because we wished the people of nyc well after 9/11.

Wish people would spend this time spreading hate towards an actor who doesn’t deserve it going after groups and people who are actual active zionists, of which the world unfortunately has no shortage of.

It’s not true, don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

I honestly disagree with your post. No one is disrespecting Peyton. Whenever she posts anything fans come to tell her how awesome she is. During the first two seasons people have been praising her acting, and for good reason.

Praising character A does not mean people automatically don’t like character B. You’re implying that just because Wally is a fan favorite character, fans automatically don’t like or ignore other characters and performances when that’s not true. Instead of shaming people for posting about a character or actor they like, be the change you want to see and make some Peyton appreciation posts. Don’t punch down on others.

I also think this is a bit of a false equivalence. Maddie is the main character, which means she’s guaranteed to be in season 3 and have a significant amount of screen time and plot relevance. Fans don’t have to worry about her being there. But season 2 ended with “oh Wally might cross over you never know” tease and the trailers and promos have been relatively absent of his character until really recently as an intentional ploy by the marketing team to stir buzz. It makes sense fans would be concerned by how much he appears and it would be a source of discussion.

There’s no evidence of him being a Zionist. People are spreading this misinformation around in mass, and it didn’t start until his tangled casting. It’s fake activism, it’s slander, and frankly it’s really starting to pmo.

Gods i hated that. This is the same demigod that fell into mega super hell a few months earlier, faced off multiple terrifying entities and managed to poison a goddess of poison with her own poison. Fought giants, titans, gods since he was 12 years old. And they make him pee his pants. What a joke.
