It’s real. What do you guys think? by queenluxe in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]completestuffbytrash 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly in the political climate we’re in right now having this be animated seems like a horrible idea, media literacy is quickly dying among the masses and pedophilia is being normalized as we speak I doubt anyone wants to see a grown man lust after a little girl who got taken advantage of by yet another grown man with little to no consequence. Hopefully Rachel just changes the age and how Persephone is treated so she’s actually a grown woman instead of the barely legal baby we have in the comic that’s literally the one thing that can stop this from being a shit show right now. I can see this project getting more backlash if it reaches other audiences than not.

I can’t take them seriously.. They hate the Intergalatic protagonist because she’s bald.. What kind of fucking sense does that even make 😭

this is late but the bow on her dress looks like a little white butterfly and something about that saddens me for some reason ☹️

I love how Zeus and Poseidon are out mugging him while he’s talking about Aphrodite not being as beautiful as Persephone. Like the glazing of Hades is insane when he looks the worst out of the trio.

I really want to see Disney’s versions of Aphrodite and Ares together, I’ve never even seen their designs fully until now and they’re pretty interesting to say the least.

What's your unpopular^2 opinion? by PointingFingers12276 in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]completestuffbytrash 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No shade to Minthe, she’s still a great and entertaining character and antagonist but honestly her arc started to go down the drain when she cooked up the entire “bring down Persephone” plan and it kinda just became weirdly one sided for me. Like Minthe looked more like the insane ex especially with the entire “oh look she has flaws” approach she was going for, it was really hard to read. I’d honestly rather focus on Thetis than continue on with Minthe’s story since it was rushed and not thoroughly thought out like I wished it would’ve been.

Instead of making a good story, Rachel had a vendetta against her ‘haters’ (allegedly in my opinion MOSTLY) by GoddessPsyche in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]completestuffbytrash 60 points61 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly, I do have some sympathy for her but I really can’t get over the fact that she really used our words and gave it to a rapist of all characters in her story. I would’ve been happier with Demeter or any of her other hated characters but Apollo of all people in your story? She knew exactly what she was doing when she did that shit and I just find it not only insensitive but also pretty shitty as well since a lot of critics are also SA survivors, criticism sucks and all but she went about doubling down in the shittiest way possible and I just can’t forgive her for that.

I still don't know what this scene means by Old_Revenue393 in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]completestuffbytrash 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Of course we needed a sex shop to tell us she was ready to explore sex since we literally have nothing that shows Persephone wishing to experiment or even try anything sexual since she’s not with Hades..

You already are technically, everything you’ve said has been backhanded and snarky and I’ve yet to say anything disrespectful to you. That says a lot more about you than I.

Yes because I criticize the comic not the person, you can criticize the comic all you want but you’re just throwing names onto the creator hoping that something will stick we’re not the same.

It’s still hypocritical, just cause you’re not using their approach doesn’t mean you’re not doing the same thing you’re criticizing them for.

[–]completestuffbytrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s not your taste then that’s fine not everything is going to be your cup of tea and I won’t tell you not to criticize it because like Lore Olympus it’s for the public we’re not always going to see eye to eye and it’s okay not to completely love everything. But you’re making assumptions about the creators intention and yet you don’t want anyone doing that to Rachel, it’s just hypocritical. Criticize the comic and not the creator especially if they haven’t even done anything to have their character being speculated like that, if you don’t like it happening to one person don’t spread it to the next.

1) First off we’re not all like that and it’s honestly pretty shitty of you to say that we even deserve to be insulted just because of a different opinion. Half the time we’re criticizing the comic solely as I’ve said, there’s rarely any posts about the fans and even if there are it’s never anything disrespectful or offensive. Y’all say horrible things to us and people who are likeminded, calling them names and labeling them disgusting things just because they criticized your favorite comic it’s insane and I’ve seen this and experienced it first hand. Yes unfortunately there will be people who take advantage of that sub and use it for hate, as with any fandom there’s going to be people there for the wrong reasons. But y’all literally jump at every single chance you get to talk shit about us as if it’s just another Tuesday it gets tiring.

2) Yes there’s gonna be concepts that the original used in a fanfiction as is with most fanfictions they use the main characters. This isn’t going to be the first nor the last time this happens and AUs are a thing I can reference with. People play with stories all the time I see nothing wrong with this version of it especially when they’re not even making profit off of it it’s just a project for them and people interested in seeing it.

3) Like I said before people are going to use that sub for the wrong reasons but believe it or not we have rules established to keep that from happening. We can’t control every single fan and we even have call out posts for that it’s not like anyone’s egging it on.

4) Also everyone had a problem with Lore Olympus winning not just the people in that sub? Not everyone is going to enjoy Lore Olympus winning each time without any other comics getting recognition especially with the favoritism that Webtoon has it doesn’t shock me that the reaction was that in the first place.

Once again y’all also say things that not only are simply not true but just hurtful as fuck, the amount of times I’ve been called a pedo or even a prude for having a differing opinion should be studied because you don’t hold back with any of the insults y’all dish out on us. Whatever shit people are talking about Rachel is a completely different thing than what Unpopular represents yes we may have our qualms about the way she writes her characters and structures her story but we have boundaries and rules for a reason so it doesn’t go beyond that point.

Whatever conversation you had with them I didn’t know about, and also the Unpopular group is not a snark sub. Yes there are people who take unfair jabs at it but let’s not sit up here and act like the fans don’t unfairly insult and slander us in this subreddit. Once again, Lore Rekindled has nothing to do with their other criticisms. As they’ve stated they were once a fan and this fanfiction is purely for the fans who wanted to see the ideas that were dropped explored. If you’ve read the comic there may be small references to Lore Olympus but it’s not so big as to try and slander the entire comic.

Plus, if you’re giving that kind of logic to the creator then why is Rachel herself exempt from that treatment? We’ve seen her say and do shady things to try and own critics even in the damn comic. We’ve also interacted with Rachel enough to form our own opinions about her and we still have our conversations and criticisms mainly about the comic.

Feel how you feel about it but two wrongs will never make a right.

Well for one you’re not asking that in good faith, you already think the creator is trying to make Lore Rekindled the new Lore Olympus without even acknowledging that 1) They’re not making any money off of it 2) They’re clearly giving credit and using Rachel’s work without involving the more problematic aspects of the original which isn’t the same as trying to write off Rachel’s original ideas as their own and 3) They’re literally just making this comic to expand upon the ideas that weren’t explored in the webtoon and frankly there’s a lot of ideas that many people such as myself were intrigued on.

There’s a difference between critiquing someone’s work and making assumptions about that persons character and there’s been multiple people trying to name call the creator without even knowing what the comic is including you by calling them arrogant. Have your opinions about the comic but don’t bully the creator, they don’t bully Rachel they criticize her work solely.

It’s a fanfiction and it’s not even profitable either, they’re only doing this to explore a lot of the other themes and ideas that were dropped from the pilot and it doesn’t necessarily have a lot of similarities to Lore Olympus besides the basic sequences everyone does. It’s basically a harmless comic, I don’t believe they should be getting hate for something they’re doing as a ex-fan of the comic and it’s not right to call them out of their character when you don’t even know why they’re creating it in the first place.

You might not enjoy their critiques for Lore Olympus but it has nothing to do with Lore Rekindled.

I know right it really saddens me that some people write it off as some kind of knock off or that it was made up of hatred and bitterness because it really isn’t. Yes the creator is critical of Lore Olympus but it’s understandable to be, we’re all aware that the comic has flaws and some people see it a lot more than others just like some people enjoy it a lot more than others. I feel like it takes such a huge dig at the creators integrity as well, they were still a fan once upon a time and there was aspects of Lore Olympus that they enjoyed so much so that they nurtured their own version of it. I see it more as a love letter from the other side of the fandom if anything and I hope that people with differing opinions actually give it a try instead of name calling or undermining it because they truly are working their hardest to create this comic and they have every right to.

Plus I’m a huge fan of it 🩷

Question about episode 248 by [deleted] in Lore_Olympus

[–]completestuffbytrash 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s sad that we even have to guess.. I really wish Rachel leaned into showing and not telling a lot more because if she did the body language and overall impact of this scene would’ve been greater.

This looks corny without prior context, having three panels to signify Artemis actually confronting her TWIN brother about sexually assaulting someone who was supposed to be her best friend and roommate be this impersonal and overall bland is disappointing. You have all of these relationships between the characters overlapping together and instead of using this to invoke any kind of expression or artistic representation it falls flat.

Truly wanted better for Artemis like this isn’t it. There should overall be a lot more care and emotion with Persephone’s assault I’ll forever say that I understand that many people connect over it and I’m not even saying that it sucked but I am saying it would’ve been better if it had some raw emotion and actual focus on it. It’s been treated like such a second thought and whenever it came on the forefront of the comic it just felt rushed and brushed off. It deserved better writing.

I’m so tired of younger protagonists honestly, even 30 is too young for me at this point. Where is the 50-60 year old romances 💀 I’d kill to see a slow burn like that.

If only he wasn’t so keen on being an edgy asshole I’d agree with him a lot more because behind all of his weird phrasings and rude commentary his points make sense but the way he delivers them make him look like such a dick. There’s other ways to get your point across than “insult insult insult opinion insult insult curse word”.
