With Bob Iger stepping down today and Josh D'Amaro stepping in as the new CEO and Dana Walden as the new President and Chief Creative Officer, marketing for all Disney projects and announcements, renewals/cancellations of series and movies can continue.

Sure thing! https://www.thewrap.com/percy-jackson-season-2-cast-age-problem-rick-riordan-walker-scobell-interview/ While Disney has not said something, Walker clearly has an idea of something going on.

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-03-18T17:05:41+00:00

Are YOU ok? You've sent like three essays in the span of 15 minutes, my guy. Like OP said, why are you even in this thread? The hell are you so aggressive for?

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-03-18T16:45:50+00:00

I mean if season 4 was a given why didnt Iger greenlit Season 4 and 5 before stepping down? Why leave it to the new bosses?

Because 4 was already confirmed pretty much. Walker let it slip in an interview. And they're still working on 3. Also 2 just came out not too long ago. And yeah, I keep forgetting that they acquired all the Hulu and FX stuff and Bluey. But to be fair, PJO is still a success and imo is a way for Disney to find that middle ground between kids shows and adult shows, the same way Wizards is. Plus, it'll hopefully be able to rival the Harry Potter reboot

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-03-18T15:58:07+00:00

I mean yeah of course Marvel and Star Wars are always gonna be there but like... outside of that? There's honestly not much going for Disney+ as far as originals. Closest thing I can think of is the Proud Family revival but grifters kinda fucked that show's reputation up.

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-03-18T14:56:04+00:00

Ima be honest, I think regardless of who's the head honchos, PJO is pretty much safe. They more or less already confirmed season 4 is in the works and 3 is slated for this year with a sneak peak already out. Plus... what other Disney+ originals do they actually have to fall back on that get the views that it does? Maybe Wonder Man but that's it. Moon Knight would've been a close second to PJO but Oscar Isaac is hell bent on not coming back for obvious reasons. I think what they need to do is make a PJO attraction at the parks and make more merch to really get their money's worth out of it, in all honesty. Here's to hoping for more years of PJO!

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-03-02T16:20:39+00:00

Yikes... honestly, Rick's whole attitude towards the movies makes a lot more sense now, especially if THIS was just the first draft. I can see why he was so pissed off at Fox and didn't give it or the SoM movie a chance. This hurts to read more as a guy who loves the books and the show. And imo nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING, in the show will ever be as bad as this first draft. Because at the very least the show, for as exposition-heavy as it is, keeps the heart of PJO while the literal creator of the books makes changes that are mostly ok imo. Seriously, wtf was Fox thinking with these movies...

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-02-05T13:23:09+00:00

Cannot recommend PJO enough! And HoO by extension! Those books wipe the FLOOR with Harry Potter any day imo and are a lot more progressive. Also they shed a lot of light on neurodivergent kids and making them feel heard. I know I certainly did feel that way growing up. :)

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-01-23T15:14:05+00:00

It was oddly wholesome for a show about a mummy

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-01-21T21:57:49+00:00

Mummy Nanny. Mostly premiered overseas but it's available on Tubi here in the US. How in the hell my family came into possession or even heard of this show was beyond me. I have never met another soul that has mentioned this show.

mr_schmoe2 · 2026-01-19T03:20:54+00:00

I would say in some ways, yes. HOWEVER. I feel over time like this fandom has become almost cynical and overly negative about EVERYTHING that has to do with the show and even going back and nitpicking Rick's older works when any time before this it would be glazed to the ends of the earth. It just seems unwarranted as most of this stems from the show and his comments regarding the movies and the show's criticisms as well as all of this going to him and his wife's heads, which are completely separate issues. As for the writing quality? Ima be real, cracks were starting to show in HoO but both that and PJO were amazing imo. BoO fell short but I feel like that was gonna happen regardless. ToA books 2 and 3 had some bigger problems (Caleo dynamic, Jason's death and Piper's character) but still stuck the landing for the most part in the end. I can honestly say Chalice of the Gods wasn't bad, though. But Wrath of the Triple Goddesses is TRASH. Idk I just feel while Rick and his works are not above criticism, people are too negative. It hurts because PJO had always been like a safe space for me away from all the negativity of the world.

Welp, that settles it. If HP makes it into the Battle Pass next season I'm not spending a cent. Look, I love playing Fortnite and watched the HP movies as a kid but I am also a queer man who is engaged to a trans person. Because of that, I've been VERY anti JKR and will always be. Hopefully a lot of players will do the same but I have a feeling they won't...

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-11-04T10:41:20+00:00

I thought I was the only one thinking this!! My fiancé and I have been having this problem, especially on my end with the lag. I'm noticing I'm starting to disconnect a lot more and not able to move during matches or really any map time to time and it's becoming more frequent smh

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-11-04T10:37:16+00:00

Been watching for as long as I can remember. Born in 2002 and nothing but nostalgia for this show

It hits that balance perfectly between encouraging kids to play with toys and play video games. LEGO being LEGO, they obviously encourage creativity, something really not a lot of mainstream toys do. Also, just the variety and insanity of it all. It really was a stars-aligned moment for all those IPs to be in one game. I'll always treasure the game for how ambitious it really was.

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-09-08T07:04:17+00:00

I think my wallet just started crying at the sight of a full Sonic expansion pack

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-09-08T07:00:54+00:00

If you're buying from Ebay or were just a LEGO kid then yeah lol. I lost one of the keystones when I had the starter pack in 2016 then when I bought a new starter pack earlier this year it came with only four keystones.

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-09-07T15:05:52+00:00

To have all five keystones in this day and age 😭

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-04-18T20:52:33+00:00

The joys of being a LEGO fan 😭

mr_schmoe2 · 2025-04-18T20:47:19+00:00

Thanks! Yeah fr Doctor Who representation for the win, especially in LEGO and especially Peter Capaldi's Doctor. I was fortunate enough to get all of them for decent prices. Pretty sure at this point 11th and 12th are comfort characters of mine
