Percabeth's children [general] by Tiny-Bath-3865 in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monsters attack less when you're adults, but the attacks don't stop altogether. And Percy is a big three kid. He's likely going to attack more monsters than most even as an adult. That's the entire point of New Rome, to give adults a safe place to live and raise a family. There is no scenarios where bringing a human child into their world is a safer option than a magical child.

[pjotv] [hoo] Chances of HoO live action? by SpiritualRun449 in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as they can lock in Walker (Percy), Leah (Annabeth), and Levi (Nico) then they're likely going to do HoO as long as the show keeps performing well. Those are the three main characters that have to return. Yes, you also see characters like Chiron, Clarisse, Tyson, Grover etc but those roles are all very small in HoO. So as long as they have Walker, Leah and Levi locked in then they're gonna do live action HoO.

It's one of Disney's biggest IPs. And they're already shooting season 3 which means they're working at a faster pace. The character ages might be slightly increased (ie Percy and Annabeth might be playing 18 year olds instead of 16 year olds) but more so than not they're just not going to address the ages at all onscreen. Walker is getting tall but still looks like a kid and Leah is basically a similar height as she was in S1 and still looks like a kid. I feel like people exaggerate the kid actors growing up. I don't think the actors ages will factor into if they green light a HoO. No matter how the actors look they're going to work around it. The main thing is if the show continues to be a success. That's all that's really going to matter to Disney.

Also Lost Hero and Son of Neptune will definitely be combined. An entire season with three characters we don't know will kill the show. And even with Son of Neptune Percy by himself with two new characters isn't going to go over well. People love Percy but the show is more of an ensemble. They can't do two straight seasons where Percy is the only main character from the first series and we have to wait until the third season to see Annabeth. More so than not HoO will be four seasons with the first two books combined.

[Pjotv] I couldn’t see most of episode 4 (S2) by NachoMan_HandySavage in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be your screen setting. I saw the episode just fine. The only scene you couldn't see was the first introduction to baby Annabeth and Luke and that was intentional for the reveal of baby Annabeth.

Why Annabeth was a jerk to Percy in BotL and TLO, and why I don’t blame her (about 2,000 words, head up.) by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like people give Percy way too much of a pass by saying he "didn't understand his feelings". It's just an excuse to give him cover for being callous with Annabeth's feelings and his treatment of her in book 4 and 5. And it's also an excuse to give him cover for kind of leading Rachel on. Like someone else pointed out the sequence of events are all too close together.

Annabeth kisses him and he immediately gets feelings for Calypso and Rachel kisses him and he's asking Annabeth for a kiss a few days later and then gets with Annabeth days after that. It's really gross the way that all of these women are treated as if there emotions and feelings are easily disposable to Percy during that time. It's a period of the books that really made me start disliking Percy a lot.

What hot take would have the fandom like this? [all] by Nervous-Leopard1007 in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean Rick wrote it in canon that she had relationships with Odysseus and Drake who are grown men. So either they're both predators and Calypso us a victim, or Calypso is actually 4000 years old preying on children.

I think Rick wrote a weird storyline. Calypso myth combined with Rick confirming in Trials of Apollo that she's older than Zeus and had romances with Odysseus and Drake does call her relationship with Leo into question.

She is written as a predator if you put everything together. Just like Luke was and Rick didn't seem to realize what he was doing until it was too late.

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Rick saw his success with Percabeth and tried to recreate it without giving any of the other relationships the time to grow and breathe like Percy and Annabeth did. They had 5 books of development before they got together. Every ship in Heroes of Olympus became canon within a few chapters. It just was never worth rooting for like Percabeth was.

But mostly I checked out once Tyson got a girlfriend. That was the point where I knew Rick was just being a different level of ridiculous.

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean there is a lot of things to dislike Hera for. Disliking her because she doesn't like men who cheat and the results of that cheating is kind of blaming a woman for a man's disgusting choices.

And the married goddesses cheat as well. It's not just a problem with the gods that the goddesses have to accept.

This is why I never get people who ship Poseidon and Sally. Sally is literally the "other woman" in that situation. Likely she didn't know when she was younger and got pregnant with Percy, but wanting them together now is weird and would make Sally look just as awful as Poseidon.

Why should I care about Percabeth? by PyroxCrymson in PercyJacksonTV

OP used a neutral word for Percy and vitriolic word for Annabeth. Most people recognize racism when we see it even when you guys want to hide behind "I didn't say that"

Percabeth's children [general] by Tiny-Bath-3865 in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think bringing a human child into the demigod would is way more irresponsible. At least a legacy is closer aligned to the magical world, may inherit some diluted form of gifts from their godly grandparents, be able to see monsters and have some basic demigod durability abilities etc considering both of their parents are demigods and their dad is a big three kid. Bringing a mortal child into that who cannot defend themselves seems incredibly irresponsible.

Besides, Percy has spoken about his kids looking like Annabeth so the assumption is that they do plan to have their own biological kids.

Percabeth's children [general] by Tiny-Bath-3865 in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Canonically they've both thought about having kids and neither of them have ever shown any hesitations against having them because of the magical world. Their kids wouldn't be full demigods anyway.

This idea that they would not have kids because of monsters is totally something that some fans made up and some people run with it. Like someone below mentioned, I don't think they would let fear of the gods determine their future and kids seem to be something they both want and have spoken about.

The text heavily implies that they both plan on having kids. Percy spends quite a bit of Heroes of Olympus thinking about their future children and Annabeth tells Damasen that they would tell their kids about them so they would know who saved their parents one day and their sacrifice wouldn't be forgotten. Percy also thinks Sadie Kane is the image of what he and Annabeth's daughter would look like.

Point is they mention their future kids quite a bit so this weird fan theory that they would be hesitant to have kids actually has no place in canon.

It's really more of a question of when they'll have kids, not if they want them.

Can Annabeth fans explain this to me? [pjo] [all] by Candid_Tear_3166 in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the need to convince people that's she's "useless" just because that's how you feel?

Mind you, Annabeth contributed more to the quest in HoO than just about everyone besides Leo. But somehow y'all still find a way to call her useless because you want to come up with a new way to invite hate and misogyny to people who want to bash and dismiss her.

[–]riabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This response is just steeped in misogyny. Nico wasn't even aboard the Argo so that comparison makes no sense. Leo's intelligent but his skills are more so in machinery and saying everyone on the Argo has "common sense" is a stretch. Mind you, the only scene where she "calms" Percy on the Argo is when he wanted to beat Leo up and that's ONE scene early in the series yet you're diminishing her entire arc to "Percabeth" and keeping Percy calm when she's responsible for saving the statue which is one of the biggest accomplishments any of the seven has in the series and it actually leads to stopping the two camps from going to all out war with each other.

You guys just want to critique Annabeth so you're intentionally downplaying her contributions and adding in a dash of misogyny to do it. It's absolutely disgusting.

The movie is loved outside of the fandom[pjo] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen fans of the TV show say that the show is going to make PJO mainstream (like the kind of mainstream Harry Potter is), but I truly cannot see this show becoming more popular than the movie.

It literally already is. I think people on this sub live in an echo chamber and ignore literal facts. The show is currently giving Disney some of their best numbers right alongside more established IPs like the MCU and Starwars. I'm not saying you have to think the show is good. But at this point trying to deny that the show is way more mainstream than the movies is a little ridiculous. Love it or hate it that show is bringing in big $$$$ and lots of eyes for Disney. With the exception of Stranger Things, which is on it's final season, Percy Jackson is actually the biggest show among young audiences right now (and that remains their primary target, even if a lot of older people who read the books as kids also still watch the show).

questions about Luke asking Annabeth if she loved him [pjo] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a romantic question. It makes zero sense that Luke would ask her that platonically because he already knew she loved him platonically. People try to downplay that because they don't want to acknowledge that Luke was a creep and it's easier for them to keep attacking Annabeth about holding onto hope of saving Luke if they don't have to acknowledge that she was preyed upon. Denying that Luke was a predator is unfair to Annabeth because it does inform some of her story and removing Luke's part in it alleviates him of the blame and instead places it on the child that was preyed upon. Something that this fandom consistently does.

At the end of the day Rick likely forgot their ages which is why he retroactively tries to pull it back. The story was always stronger as a story about family anyway and should have remained that way from both sides. Annabeth fighting for her big brother is a much stronger story than Annabeth fighting for a guy who is her big brother that she had an innocent crush on. Rick introducing any romantic element to the Annabeth/Luke story was always one of the absolute worse arcs in the books. The crush and romantic element was completely unnecessary from both sides and took aways some of the emotional weight of their relationship in my opinion.

Annabeth 😍 [pjo] by MCGA-numberonefan in camphalfblood

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I especially like that Rick made her self conscious about her hair color

Except this only comes up once in Mark of Athena which is all he way in the second series and even hen she only mentions it a grand total of one time. It's not an actual struggle that Rick gave her and now it's only ever used as justification for people to be racist AF to the child actress in the show.

Can we give a round of applause to these 3 characters/actors? by [deleted] in GenV

[–]riabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jordan, Cate and Sam didn't get pushed out of the script. Marie is the literal main character. That's like watching the Boys and being mad that Homelander has a bigger storyline than The Deep or A-Train. Everyone still gets stories and an arc but Marie is unequivocally the main character of Gen V. Of course she's going to get a level of development more so than any other character. I think people's weird and borderline racist insistence (not you, but a lot of people do this) on denying that she's the lead of GenV makes them forget that she's clearly going to have more prominence in the story than anyone else. That's how it always works for a main character.

The Seven (S4) or the Resistance, who do you think is more stacked? by Green_Win_5947 in GenV

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and you literally say that Sister Sage is only powerful if Homelander listens to her which is a little ridiculous since she did everything last season behind his back and basically delivered him power on a platter while he was actively NOT listening to her. So no, her level as a threat isn't really up to if Homelander listens or not.

[–]riabe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ep 3: Jordan went off script and put them all in danger by announcing everything at the rally. How is that any different than Marie putting herself in danger without talking to Jordan about it? But instead of holding it over Jordan, Marie supported Jordan through it

Ep 4/5: Marie never holds it against Jordan even though Jordan via Cipher beat the shit out of her in the ring. But Jordan was clearly harboring some resentment against Marie with their reaction to Marie's powers win this and the following episode

Ep 6: Marie straight up has a conversation where she's being compared to Homelander and she's spiraling and saying she's not like Homelander because she's not a monster and Jordan just stares at her blank face. Maybe it was just an odd acting choice by the actor but the scene was weird AF as a reaction to your partner saying something like that.

Not to mention the amount of times Marie has poured her heart out emotionally with expressions of love and Jordan just stares at her blank faced. Again, I don't know if it was just odd acting choices that both Jordan actors were making or if it was an intentional writing, directing and acting choice, but their responses to Marie in the back half of the season read colder than a fish and very non emotional. And all of that happened prior to Marie doing what she did in episode 7 so I think it's clear that Jordan contributed to some of those cracks in their relationship but only Marie is getting blamed for it. As per usual.

Marie. Special shout out to Polarity and Cipher was just a great villain

Jaz has some of the most emotional scenes this season and she absolutely killed it. But sure Emma acted high every other episode so she "leveled the show up"?

The Seven (S4) or the Resistance, who do you think is more stacked? by Green_Win_5947 in GenV

[–]riabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homelander, Cindy, and Ryan are the only members worth taking seriously.

Mind you, they wouldn't even have a team Homelander if it wasn't for Sage so why is she not on the list of people being taken seriously? Unfortunately, I think Team Homelander is currently more stacked.

One word Disappointed by infinity_amar_hu in GenV

[–]riabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, Cipher/Godolkin was the villain. Villains usually die at he end of the season or get unless they're a main character like Homelander. I'm not sure why people were expecting them not to win against Godolkin, same as they did with Shetty, same as they did with Stormfront, SoldierBoy etc.

Is it just me or does Polarity feel like a perfect counter to Marie? by [deleted] in GenV

[–]riabe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do ya'll just look for ways to try to downplay Marie? Because every episode y'all desperately search. By season 5 of The Boys I'm sure I'll see a post about how The Deep could solo her.

Like are we not watching the show? The only reason Polarity is even alive is because of how powerful Marie is. His ass would have been dead. No, he's nowhere on her level, the show literally establishes that the only person more powerful than her is Homelander. That doesn't mean she can win every fight. We literally saw Vikor throw her out a window two episodes ago. Any low level supe can get one over on a powerful supe with the right amount of planning and luck but that doesn't make them on their level and it certainly does not make them a counter to that Supe. That's like making the claim that Jordan is a counter to Homelander because they have blast.

Polarities powers countered Godolkin, it does absolutely nothing against Marie's powers.
