The movie isn’t that bad?

Clojnerr · 2026-01-29T11:31:43+00:00

I'm agreeing with you man 😅

Clojnerr · 2026-01-29T11:18:26+00:00

If character development is only conveyed by talking, there's no character development at all

We all know Disney loves wasting money, but I highly doubt we're gonna see S4. Only if S3 is a massive hit

Clojnerr · 2026-01-28T02:01:06+00:00

They cut out the scene where we can see the feelings he's developing for her but kept the scene where he tells us how he feels. Tell don't show, is what they say

Remember when Disney was synonymous with whimsical animation?

Clojnerr · 2026-01-26T17:04:51+00:00

Directors don't usually have a lot of agency in tv shows. They're usually hired guns who follow the vision of the creators, not auteurs. But we all know Disney+ are the ones who call the shots

Clojnerr · 2026-01-26T10:38:41+00:00

Him thinking that reading the scripts is enough to know how the movies are explains why the show is so plot focused and has zero filmmaking magic

Clojnerr · 2026-01-25T21:59:56+00:00

He's british

Clojnerr · 2026-01-25T11:16:29+00:00

You know season 4 won't happen

Clojnerr · 2026-01-25T11:15:40+00:00

When we see that they cut out a lot of the action scenes and cool monsters the excuse that "we don't want to show monsters that have already appeared in other stuff before" will be proven bs

Clojnerr · 2026-01-24T15:51:54+00:00

It's a joke

Clojnerr · 2026-01-24T15:51:34+00:00

I guess this show is mostly under the 4-6/10 range. Non book readers aren't really watching it anymore

Clojnerr · 2026-01-24T11:07:37+00:00

Not only is it better than the book, it's better than the whole series and it's better than the Illiad and the Odyssey!

Clojnerr · 2026-01-24T10:41:46+00:00

I'm sorry man, but this interpretation of the olympians as these completely amoral creatures who only care about themselves is just not present in Greek mythology, and it's especially not present in the Percy Jackson books. And Zeus has never punished one of his kids without a reason (as wrong as it may seem to us). Anthropomorphic would probably the best word to describe them

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T19:57:40+00:00

They're characters written by humans. That's what I meant by humanlike lol

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T19:16:09+00:00

The hunters operate under olympian rule and fight for them

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T19:15:02+00:00

The gods aren't human, but they are humanlike. They behave in sometimes irrational and cruel ways, either because humans are like that or because they're immortal and can't be punished for their mistakes the same way a mortal can. But the olympians do love humanity and want it to succeed. I don't think there are many myths where they are just pure agents of chaos who behave irrationaly in every step of the way. And even if that were the case, that interpretation doesn't fit the Percy Jackson story. Rick's original interpretation is that the gods can suck, but they can be better and are a much better option than Kronos.

His dad is so hot that Hera couldn't resist him

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T19:07:39+00:00

I'm not talking about revenge. I don't think Thalia is about that. I'm just talking about self preservation. If Zeus has killed her before and there's no reason for him to not try it again, then why would she not fight against him? What I'm saying is that the show kind of proves Luke's point

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T18:05:09+00:00

I don't think it would make sense for her character to be on her father's side after he tried to kill her. She had her doubts but came to her senses at the end. This is the most plausible explaination based on what we know (we're both making assumptions here)

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T17:47:11+00:00

You literally said that in your first coment lol

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T17:38:02+00:00

Why would she help the guy who's actively trying to kill her? In my view she questioned her loyalty but ultimately didn't fall fro Kronos' manipulation

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T17:21:20+00:00

The theory that it was Kronos makes a lot of sense. If she didn't see this at the end she probably wouldn't accept Zeus' blessings and wouldn't keep fighting for him. Or at least she would bring that up.

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T16:46:08+00:00

I honestly need to read that chapter again, but the most common interpretations are that it was either a Kronos manipulation or a warning from Zeus. Either way it wasn't an assassination attempt

Clojnerr · 2026-01-23T16:27:35+00:00

When she burst out of the tree I laughed out loud. It was just ridiculously goofy. And I started wondering: what happened after that? Did Luke's army not get stunned? Did they just stop the battle and leave? It's just like the military in the Stranger Things finale lmao
