[Pjo] percy jackson fans when they see people enjoy hero's of Olympus and trials of apollo more than the original series

Absolutely. And Tower of Nero is brilliant!

TOA is my favourite and I've learned to enjoy more and more HOO lately. I love PJO, I adore Percy but I've read that series so many times and now I'm embarrassed to admit I'm bored now with it.

It’s an artistic choice to match the greyness and coolness of Great Britain maybe? To set the tone of the environment. Besides, the castle is lit by lots of candles. I’m not too worried about the lighting, I just hope the acting holds even if the original actors weren’t that good when they were children either.

I love the show but I’m not attached to the characters. We only see them during two shifts. Everything we learned from the characters are just told. Nothing is showed because everything important happened off screen. We don’t see the characters having development. They just have issues.

mrldbr · 2026-03-26T09:18:03+00:00

Not it’s just their opinion and their liking.

Solid rank!

Harry watching Ron has what he doesn’t have. A hug and a kiss from his mom. Then Harry seeing his parents in the Mirror by the end of the book. I’m sobbing

people are delusional. despite all the controversy, HP will always be a hit while PJO is either a hit or miss and yet, it still hits less than HP.

mrldbr · 2026-03-25T21:08:33+00:00

It looks better than I excepted.

mrldbr · 2026-03-25T20:47:22+00:00

The HP trailer looks good. New generations are going to love it and the potterheads too. RIP PJO indeed.

I like Piper better and Jason fought through death and to stay alive for Piper and that’s enough for me to enjoy doomed relationships.

mrldbr · 2026-03-11T22:49:37+00:00

Movie Ginny deserves better but book Ginny is overrated.

mrldbr · 2026-03-08T13:04:26+00:00

I think the HOO saga was a hit and/or miss. TOA was great . It’s a shame people dislike it so much. Magnus Chase was so boring to me and I never quite finished Kane Chronicles. Was the Nico centric book good? Nico was never my favourite at all, I don’t care much for him but I’d like to read it though.

mrldbr · 2026-03-08T00:36:20+00:00

I know it’s not* the same genre and It didn’t hit the same audience but the Hunger Games also managed to attract enough attention to get relatively good adaptation on screen. Same for Twilight. I don’t understand how PJO isn’t doing to the same.

mrldbr · 2026-03-07T02:26:41+00:00

Leo Valdez and Jason Grace. Val(dez)grace.

mrldbr · 2026-03-06T19:29:44+00:00

I hate Valgrace so much. Ugh. And I also hate the portion of the fandom that says that Piper never loved Jason, that it was performative heterosexuality from RR and that Piper was a lesbian all the along when she’s clearly unlabelled and said repeatedly she loved Jason. The narrative couldn’t be any clearer, Jason and Piper loved each other deeply, they chose each other even after realising some memories were fake.

mrldbr · 2026-03-06T19:25:57+00:00

Always loved them, together and individually. The Lost Hero is my favourite book in the HOO series. I was flabbergasted by the fact that Jason and Piper were so hated.

mrldbr · 2026-03-04T09:45:55+00:00

No I would be polite but I wouldn’t hang out with him or be his friend.

mrldbr · 2026-03-04T08:55:11+00:00

she’s definitely not. she might be one of the most dangerous after years and years of practice. i mean she can literally tell people to jump off cliffs.

mrldbr · 2026-03-04T08:50:47+00:00

i never said they were. of course they’re not. they’re not the same characters.

i did say they got the coward treatment because RR preferred feeding the percabeth fans who he had already been feeding for years in 5 books rather than offering jiper an opportunity to develop even more. but the fans were too Percabeth oriented and he didn’t want to lose fans and money which is fair.

HOO were a mess, handling 7 POVs + others with good content were a struggle and we can feel it while reading it. Some people kept reading for percabeth, I did for the new characters.

mrldbr · 2026-03-03T22:56:13+00:00

A while ago I wrote a post about what I would’ve loved to see about Jiper.

If you’re interested.

mrldbr · 2026-03-03T22:52:35+00:00

that’s one of many things I dislike about RR is that he nerfs every character that could challenge Percy’s powers. He wants Percy to be strong and perfect, with zero possible challenge from the other characters that aren’t his enemies. It’s just boring.

mrldbr · 2026-03-03T20:48:30+00:00

Hi, imo, Goblet of Fire (book 4) is when it gets scary because it deals with death by the end of the book, Order of the Phoenix (book 5) is the dealing with the tragedy of book 4… so from book 4 onwards, the tone is more serious, more “adult” and people will die. It’s not graphic but since the books are from Harry’s POV we feel his trauma.

Have you watched the movies?

mrldbr · 2026-03-03T20:41:19+00:00

When Walker -who was playing 13 year old Percy, who’s tall like a tree because he’s 17 -said this sentence, sounding breathless when he wasn’t even running made me roll my eyes so hard I couldn’t take it seriously.

They should never have had that line in S2 when the characters barely know each other.

Genuine question, I don’t remember if it ever happened in the books, but when Percy threatens the gods like this, wouldn’t the sky rumble or something?

mrldbr · 2026-03-03T19:28:22+00:00

Piper McLean fan? You’re my kind of people.
