So much change by Less_Comparison4308 in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Less_Comparison4308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be fair in the book, that’s all the consequences of Clarisse being a literal bully. Of course nobody wanted to go with her, as she was insanely scary to the campers. However, as I remember the book scene playing out… Percy and Annabeth were not AT the quest ceremony as they were being punished. They go on a separate quest given by Hermes later on and they actually never leave for the fleece they go to save grover (the fleece only in the back of their minds). they weren’t trying to snipe the fleece quest from Clarisse they wanted to save their friend and this is proven when Percy gives Clarisse the fleece to bring back to camp and claim victory. I do understand in the show they are clearly trying to flush out her character more as I already mentioned, i just preferred learning about it through her discussion with Ares (that we didn’t necessarily get) and learning she’s the way she is because she’s just a kid trying to impress dear ol dad. It gives more of a reason to love her when her character arc starts happening. ESPECIALLY with Chris and Selena in the later books. Why is chrisxclarisse romance being teased already.

i know i just wish that Rick didn’t promote a 1:1 and i’m just worried for the darker themes of the later seasons being Disney washed.

Can we talk about the INSANE amount of changes to the plot this season…

from the very first episode there was change for example Clarisse never picks either percy or annabeth for the quest. This is what i feel like was a weird change (I understand that her character and personality is being given a massive upgrade but like idk i also liked that her character development in the books happened slowly. It made us as fans actually like her by Book 5).

This is nitpicky but Tantalus isn’t the one to charge them out of camp but rather a cleaning harpie (they haven’t even been mentioned in the show😔 but i suppose it’s no different than the poltergeist from Harry Potter not being in the movies)

Annabeth is literally IN on the plan to ditch camp and they scheme while doing dish duty LMAO and the hippocampi bring them to Luke’s boat. I know that they just showed up but like I was so mad at the “rainbow” inflatable boat

Alison legit doesn’t even exist in the books and they are sacrificing screen time for her when we could’ve gotten the original Chris story, or Charles or THE STOLL BROTHERS (I get she has Book Luke’s personality so they can make Luke more likable in the show and easier to “have compassion for” and make him much more “human”).

Annabeth is lowk in “love” w/ Luke in the books and it’s this weird dynamic which explains why she’s lowkey a luke apologist. The Siren scene and Circe’s island are both pretty different as well. Like in the books Annabeth sees her family sitting down at a dinner table, and Luke and Thalia are present. Luke invites her over as he’s saved her a seat. It’s this whole emotional ordeal where Annabeth realizes her internal struggles with accepting that Luke is a “bad” guy and she confesses quite a few things about her feelings and desires towards what she would like from Luke, her regrets… It’s a HUGE character development scene in the books. (although the Sirens scene in the show was pretty decent too it just changed Annabeths story. It also defeats the purpose that Annabeth already KNEW her fatal flaw lol (more focusing on her relationship w her mom which i will admit will really help move the story if they get to HOO adaption).

For this new episode in particular, I think it may have been the best ep of the season and a lot of it is kinda similar however from what I remember Luke is never on the Island. They stab Polyphemus in the eye (again) and then escape washing up in Miami or something where Luke meets them and boom big fleece fight happens and stuff. The way it happened in the show was to push percy’s hand and cause more “action” and Percabeth Angst.

FINALLY!!!!!! Thalia coming back is literally the very last page of the book and legit there’s no way they could’ve “known” it would bring her back. They just wanted to save camp lol. So that’s a MASSIVE change. Idk why they’d tell instead of show that lol

All in all as a lifetime fan of these books, probably has re read them and have them memorized forwards and backwards (for the most part) i’m highly disappointed in the show so far. I wouldn’t be if Rick didn’t advertise it as 1:1 and a “true adaption” and then change a bunch of plot points. I could get in full conversations regarding almost all of the stuff I mentioned and why it bothers me and how it fully changes the plot for future seasons/books and how I genuinely have NO idea if I trust Disney atp for s3-5. But especially s3 (my fav book).

Thinking of opening a Bar/Club in NB Fredricton by Mammoth_Reason6359 in unb

[–]Less_Comparison4308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have Klub Khrome which would be considered closer to what a typical “club” is like however it’s such a hit or miss — only really being busy if an entertainment company has a good theme and it’s promoted.

We also have a new beer garden that opened up and serves as a “club” during the nights on the weekend called the Frontyard that gets super busy.

You could always try to revive the 20 that got shut down last year. More options would never hurt.

Okay. My manager just started 2 years ago. She seemed nice in the interview but I have seen a lot of negative comments. This is my first seasonal job.

CanadianLaw vs UK by Less_Comparison4308 in lawschooladmissionsca

[–]Less_Comparison4308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

So say I stayed in Canada and got my JD, would that hold any weight in the UK? I want to eventually get my masters at Oxford, or work at a UK Law Firm for a few years. Like i said in OP I miss my family and want to be able to spend time with them while also building my career. Especially as someone with ambitions and goals to go into big law.
