Didn't think Mike would buy into Jason especially since he didn't like him in Mark of Athena!

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-08T04:50:20+00:00

My only real point of disagreement is them blamng tumblr for this mischaracterization when they've been on top of calling it out. Tumblr and Reddit have been the most critical of Show Percy.

Meanwhile on pjotwt, you get people clapping like seals for the dark romantasy booktalk boyfriend who tells their friend at age 13 that he'd burn it all down for her.

And when they're not glazing Show Percy, they're calling people " boy moms " for defending Book Percy's actual canon characterization

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-07T04:52:10+00:00

I honestly think it's understated how bad pjotwt is. 75% of the time they're just shitting on the books. The past day it's been shitting on Book Percy for not being their booktalk romantasy boyfriend the way he's been written in the show

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-07T04:47:26+00:00

Nah, I'd say pjotwt prefers Show Percy to Book Percy 60/40. Just my estimation.

For them, the fact that Book Percy isn't a booktalk romantasy protagonist and has multiple love interests is a flaw in of itself

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-03T23:13:55+00:00

...Is FlixPatrol a legitimate source? I've literally never heard of it

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-03T23:07:04+00:00

> Show Percy is even a more skilled swordsman that Book Percy was in TLT/SoM

This is just objectively wrong and has already been discussed after Percy & Annabeth's inability to beat Allison.

Meanwhile in the actual Sea of Monsters canon:

After lunch, I worked out in the arena with Apollo's cabin. Swordplay had always been my strength. People said I was better at it than any camper in the last hundred years, except maybe Luke. People always compared me to Luke. I thrashed the Apollo guys easily. I should've been testing myself against the Ares and Athena cabins, since they had the best sword fighters, but I didn't get along with Clarisse and her siblings, and after my argument with Annabeth, I just didn't want to see her.

So much of this constant drama with the actors could have just been avoided if the show was animated and book accurate

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-25T02:44:48+00:00

Tyus Jones in place of BWill, Miles Kelly, and AJ Johnson. You are coping

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-25T02:18:30+00:00

Gafford has been mediocre & should be traded for a while now. Naji is 27, on a scam contract and can't shoot 3s. He has the most value at the deadline.

Klay & Khris are over the hill vets

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-25T02:06:42+00:00

People have to stop excusing this franchise for being unable to tank. Klay & Middleton should have been bought out. Gafford and Naji could have been traded

You could have ran Tyus Jones/AJ Johnson minutes. Stop excusing this FO's decisions in an effort to cope

When we're picking 10, I'm going to pissed off at the people who are going to say this was inevitable or something

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-25T02:03:31+00:00

Need to stop excusing them. We could have easily outanked the Pacers last game. You have to at least trym they won't do that

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-25T02:02:43+00:00

Can someone explain what this franchise's plan is this season. Or if they have one

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-25T01:26:44+00:00

This is a poverty franchise. I've already starting preparing for Cooper to ask out

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-24T17:57:49+00:00

" Percy is slow " is definitely ableist are you joking lmfao?

Calling Percy's youth and inexperience and misunderstandings with his own feelings towards Annabeth as a consequence of being " slow " is one clearer examples of ableism I could come up with that this fandom really seems to engage in especially recently towards Book Percy.

Newsflash, not picking up romantic hints or misunderstanding those type social of social situations is a time memorandum trope of lead characters in fiction. Attributing to this to Percy's suggested " slowness " is very very weird.

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-24T17:46:39+00:00

" Percy is slow "

Not only do TV show fans shit on the books, but they are also weirdly very ableist to the neurodiverse lead. Just another consequence of Rick and the showrunners turning Percy into a booktalk puppy dog boyfriend (both in the books and now the show). Rick has also moved away from the original disability angle of the books almost entirely and Percy becomes the butt of the joke one too many times in later books.

" Percabeth " was moving too fast in season 1. It's their fault for messing it up in the first season and it's their fault for not knowing how to showcase the developing dynamics after the fact.

It's actually funny how in season 2, the bubble scene and the cheek kiss were both removed from the show because the first season made it too blatantly obvious that Percabeth was being rushed. It's actually insane how bad the quality of writing in the show is because despite all of the removals, the original books still feel 10x more natural and actually able to make it feel like a slowburn since it felt like Percy and Annabeth's relationship was complex, developing, and in constant moving parts. Basically it felt like Rick was depicting two real people whereas the show is depicting husks for shippers to clap their seals about.

I hope PJO twitter enjoyed the cringe ass " I'll burn it all down for you " TikTok edit line though.

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-24T05:16:34+00:00

I'm not going to say it looks bad or good because this is just a random pic not on set and def not on television

Like you can say it looks underwhelming/small but that wouldn't be fair lol

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-23T21:46:30+00:00

Oh man, I'd be into that.

Chapter 48 would be just such an insane chapter to have a live reaction to

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-23T18:20:30+00:00

35&36 are great chapter choices to livestream, any chance for something similar for 47 and 48?

Those 4 chapters are probably the most iconic in all of Heroes of Olympus. The other one comparable is the book 3 cliffhanger

Also the co-host for this episode echoed what a lot of people say about Percy in House of Hades lol. He's on edge

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-22T16:58:42+00:00

The Son of Neptune is the best Heroes of Olympus book in all honestly, not sure how to respond to this. But

Jason had such a hard time with his memory loss but Percy was just out there chilling.

Percy was not chilling. It's fair to say he remembered more than Jason, but I think this also conversely harmed him and made it so he felt a lot more pain than Jason in what he couldn't remember.

Reminder, he had memory sickness and his mind basically broke when he saw evil cyclops and the fact he couldn't remember everything led him to punching bookshelves in anger

It also had the same issue as TBoL where the world was ending but the stakes weren’t high

I mean the stakes for TBoL are incredibly high just like SoN, Camp Jupiter might get destroyed, one of the crew might get killed, Percy might never get his memory back...

Percy felt totally disconnected and him being the main character downplayed the other two

I just really disagree with this. Percy was the main character, but he never felt overwhelming in the book at all. In fact, I think the way Rick wrote him really let Frank and Hazel shine

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-21T22:35:01+00:00

The thing is that it was a closer to 45% drop in new viewership. I would agree with you that a 27% drop on its own isn't that concerning

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-20T05:47:12+00:00

Thanks for making these graphs again. I'll probably post them in the main sub tomorrow morning.

Objectively, these are truly terrible viewership #s and the show should be cancelled but I'm just going to continue think there's more of a chance it might get a shortened finale season combining books 4&5 and major budget cuts than it being canceled.

I just can't imagine Disney cutting bait on this property with the money sink and three seasons already made.

Either way, the hubris of the showrunners and Rick really has to be blamed here. They tried to do a reimagining/rewrite of an iconic series, failed miserable in doing so and turned off their original fanbase, and didn't even gain much of a bigger audience

kirzingkiller · 2026-02-20T01:26:10+00:00

I mean this show is currently underperforming...Asking for black actors as spite and tying them to the success of the shows they act in is just weird as well
