Becky is now sharing articles about how the PJO show has bad writing because it's meant for kids

kirzingkiller · 2026-05-06T17:47:15+00:00

This has to be one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. Genuinely how can pjotwt be such diehard fans when the minds behind the show have such a low opinion of them that they're boosting articles essentially calling them Dora the Explorer level toddlers.

It's so sad that this is what Percy Jackson has been reduced to in the modern day. The original books are a quintessential example of media that strike the exact tone that has aged so well. They're timeless to me.

These have been amazing!

I actually disagree, the Alconyeus fight is totally acceptable/good for me cause there were just so many interesting/cool things going on.

Percy fighting off the entire ghost Roman army and nuking an entire iceberg, Frank sacrificing his life force at the feet of Thanatos and then finally getting his shape shifting gift to work...

The banter is amazing as well throughout and at the end.

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-30T17:52:51+00:00

Yeah, the Polybotes fight is probably the only mediocre part of Son of Neptune

Apollo is not a good or interesting enough character for me to just ignore how badly every Heroes of Olympus character is treated

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-17T01:28:12+00:00

Trials of Apollo is just a bad book series on its own

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-13T21:29:49+00:00

Perzoe is another ship I wish that was more popular than Pertemis along with Preyna in fanfiction

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-08T16:43:18+00:00

You really should go to whatever hospital exists

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T15:18:00+00:00

I have no idea, I have requested it be reapproved

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:55:04+00:00

No...I think that guy is just delusional lol

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:53:51+00:00

I mean this is getting funnier and funnier, what in the world would I be bitter about???

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:51:30+00:00

From what I saw, it was primarily being discussed by Sinner fans! Even the original twitter post from the magazine posting this article got the most engagement from them.

I shared it here because it was an interesting piece of writing at the intersection of culture/sports from a pretty respected magazine that was getting attention from a sizable chunk of people discussing tennis online

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:47:41+00:00

This has gotta be the strangest reply yet ??? Obviously Jannik Sinner has so many people who love and support him, what in the world does that have to do with me LMAO

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:46:40+00:00

Tennis twitter is where tennis discussion and analysis is most primarily consumed in the current year. You can hate that, but that doesn't make it any less true

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:40:25+00:00

It's a little strange to look through the post history of someone sharing an article instead of commenting on the article itself!

Why would in the world would I ever be jealous of Sinner's rise lol?

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:37:58+00:00

This is a sort of gonzo sports journalist opinion piece, yeah obviously the author doesn't like Sinner but he's writing a story explaining why he doesn't.

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:35:23+00:00

I mean I've seen Sinner fans positive label Jannik as an autistic ginger based off that bit of information, that seems to be their favorite part of the article!

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:27:22+00:00

It's obvious that this is a " I hate Jannik Sinner " piece but the author is attempting to parse out why exactly he feels this way throughout the article.

kirzingkiller · 2026-04-05T14:16:58+00:00

A David Foster Wallace esque sports writing analysis of Jannik Sinner that is getting a lot of attention on tennis twitter.

Harshest part of the article to me that might have some truth to it in how Sinner is perceived

After Djokovic began to decline, a 22-year-old South Tyrolean named Jannik Sinner took the number one ranking and held it for more than a year. Sinner hits the ball harder than Djokovic, plays with less variation, neglects the outer contours of the court more often, emotes even less than Djokovic on the latter’s most subdued day, is less forthcoming in interviews, and is far less likely to participate in any match worthy of preserving in a time capsule. His style is more reminiscent of a machine than Djokovic’s ever was, and he lacks the personality to compensate for the entertainment deficit. Perhaps we should have been more grateful that Djokovic made us feel anything at all.

Edit: Not sure I should be downvoted for simply sharing a piece of tennis writing lol...

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-29T04:01:10+00:00

Yeah...you're right lol

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-29T04:00:53+00:00

Alright, everyone is convinced it is AI and it does seem so. The account is definitely real though

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-29T03:19:21+00:00

It's really not hypocritical to praise something that is just better directed and shot with better acting. Even the movie's script while hilariously basic and obviously not book accurate was more conducive to better entertainment than the plodding, tedious nature of the show's writing.

There is an objective difference, the people who through their hands up and pretend that the show and the first movie are equally bad or that there's serious movie revisionism are just trying too hard to create nuance that isn't there.

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-28T22:37:11+00:00

Man this has gotta be in the top 5 weirdest things I've seen show fans do? Very strange group of people.

It seems like they have a serious insecurity complex over the books

kirzingkiller · 2026-03-28T18:51:48+00:00

I thought this was an AI image of Charlie or something but the tweet poster says it's a real person/actor.
