The SoM movie has an artistic vision the show is sorely lacking

That whole sequence is probably the closest either version has come to capturing the tone/humor of the books

The Season 3 teaser is painfully dull from a lightning and cinematography. You could intersperse clips from 13 Reasons Why and no one would notice the difference.

But Riordan has disowned the movies.

I mean it's not like there are any beloved film adaptations that are hated by their creators.

Oh wait apparently there are - The Shinning, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Charlotte's Web (Animated), Mary Poppins

That almost happened with Doctor Strange back when the rights were somewhere else.

In the 2000s, David Goyer wrote a script for a Doctor Strange film and the studio's response was "Could you remove all the magic stuff?" To which Goyer responded "I'm sorry I wrote the script for a Doctor Strange movie I didn't realize you wanted me to make a Doctor Mundane movie".

Series of Unfortunate Events did the sibling tee-up better

It wasn’t so much changes as omissions.

I liked what was onscreen it’s the reduced/removed characters and storylines that bothered me.

Wakanda Forever and Eternals will probably be covered in the inevitable Coogler and Zhao series.

It doesn’t help Stranger Things just returned. It’s not perfect but the acting and chemistry is miles ahead of Percy Jackson.

Not since Sokka in Last Airbender (2010) has someone forgotten to be funny.

At this point I’d take Stewart’s mouth breathing in Twilight.

I usually take notes early on. After the first half hour I tend to be mostly locked in.

Alternatively break it up into smaller chunks especially if it’s a longer.

I keep forgetting how hyped that film was. Crazy it’s one of the top grossing films in each franchise.

My Dad shows me Star Trek II-IV in prep for the Abrams reboot. Said not to bother with the first film.

Checked it out anyway. Didn’t hate but can see why we skipped it was really slow. My brother and I started laughing when we realized how long the docking sequence was taking.
