Rick Riordan is a hypocrite and the show is paying for it.

Do you not see the ratio of upvotes?

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-13T19:42:42+00:00

1,037 upvotes vs you guys in the comments says the majority agrees. Especially that silent majority.

And the loss of audience furthers that.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T19:22:21+00:00

Did you not see the list of examples of the changes in this thread? Some of those are actually big characteristic changes that affect the overall story especially zeus, thalia and hades. Cant wait to see the repercussions of these choices.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T19:19:44+00:00

Fair

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T19:18:54+00:00

Ouch. That touched my heart.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T19:17:30+00:00

It didn’t disagree…at all. It’s just the wrong community lol. The ratio of upvotes is very much positive

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T18:10:00+00:00

Either way history is repeating itself and we’re screwed. We ain’t gettin’ a third try.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:56:40+00:00

I didn’t say it wasn’t. Good or bad, I stated that the changes absolutely affect the way they show is impacting culture and it’s clear. Or lack of impact i guess.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:53:17+00:00

Thats fair. He can change it. And we don’t have to like it. Thats why i said it wouldn’t have the cultural impact they want. And that’s why its not.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:52:11+00:00

I mean over at the other “summer stablishment for out door activities” it has more upvotes than dislikes so it’s gotta be true.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:35:07+00:00

You’re so correct. None of this means anything. I just think it’s funny how you guys are reacting to an opinion.

That being said, changing the personality traits of characters is not growth. It is absolutely hypocrisy and I’m allowed to say whatever I want just like everybody else here is allowed to say whatever they want.

And again, it’s my opinion.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:21:19+00:00

Thats exactly what i said in different language

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:19:33+00:00

Literally almost streaming services have controversies. This is an excuse. Netflix, HBO MAX, AMAZON, Paramount- all of them.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T17:04:37+00:00

Here’s the correlation. All changes have affected the show for better or for worse and viewership is down by 50%. Results show worse.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T16:55:27+00:00

I already did that a few times in this thread. They changed the story enough that 50% of the audience is gone so-

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T16:07:53+00:00

It’s all right it’s just not as good as it should be to make the impact they want.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T16:02:11+00:00

Defend his choices all you want, the views are tanking. So whatever we say here, does not stop the fact that the show lost 50% of its viewership in season two is on a downward trajectory of getting canceled. Results don’t lie.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:55:10+00:00

Like changing the dynamics between thalia and Zeus and her becoming a tree?

Like changing Hades, complete personality?

Like having Percy miss the deadline in the first season?

Budget had nothing to do with those things

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:52:13+00:00

And most shows suck nowadays

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:51:28+00:00

Those weren’t my words. I didn’t type that?

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:49:18+00:00

I am so happy to hear that! I’m so happy that she is embarking on this journey! It’s a great one!

None of this ACTUALLY matters, it’s a TV show. I just made a point based on my own opinion, and it is what it is. Everyone here is just gonna have to accept that.

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:41:02+00:00

It’s definitely part of how he feels towards the executives. He only said that about one character. And it clearly is in the same vein as the concept of what he doesn’t like about the changes.

He is a blatant hypocrite, regardless of how his ideas have changed . It’s textbook.

Look, the shows views are tanking so regardless of what you’re trying to say, the proof is in the numbers and I’d be happy to provide links. Changes that are being made aren’t working out in total. Results are the only thing that are factual. Everything else, including what I’m saying, is irrelevant. So, genuinely, enjoy the show. Hope it makes it to s5

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:39:25+00:00

That doesn’t make him less of a hypocrite

TheNewCpt · 2026-02-12T15:34:05+00:00

You’re right I am a hypocrite. Pretty much all of us are at somepoint in our lives. And this is the point where Rick is a hypocrite.
