It's normal to have writers and directors in a show, right? Because mostly I see people talking about their favourite actors/characters. Although I do obviously have those, I also get very excited when certain names come on the screen for 'teleplay/written by' and 'directed by' come up.

The warm lighting as Luke holds Percy at sword point because Percy trusts Luke. Luke would never hurt him.

Then Luke later betraying Percy in the very same woods and hurting him with the same sword as the lighting shifts to this ominous dark purple

i could write an essay on how the writers use lighting as a method of storytelling

i’m so sick of writers who proudly proclaim that they don’t read and directors and actors and other filmmakers who smugly say that they rarely watch movies or any artist who acts like an audience is stupid for connecting with their work like what the fuck is wrong with you that you hold such contempt such derision for the art that you have chosen to make the art that so many people dream of the opportunity to make the art that brings meaning and connection to people’s lives it’s unbelievably disrespectful to both your audience and the art-form and if you can’t muster basic respect for either your art-form or your audience then kindly fuck off and do something else

Someone said the reason percy was looking up and down when talking to poseidon was so he could mesmerize his father's face and i-

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’

they're still the same man and unfortunately that man is deeply stupid

“I think we went with that kind of (purple) color because we thought it would be regal... We also talk a lot about like, Stewy would say 'Everyone's gonna wear black. I'm not.’”

im kinda encouraged by how i haven't seen discourse saying that it's bad that owen isn't played by a trans woman. which isn't to say there might not be valid points to be made there, but i think the role was well-served by not having the expectation of that conclusion or the sense that owen is notably feminine (idk if it was me but i think the movie visually emphasizes justice smith's adam's apple sometimes?) (and it can be complex to ask a trans woman to play a role in which she's supposed to read largely as a man). and casting an nb actor in the potentially-cis other lead role also combats the issue of employing only cis people (obviously also writer-director, some of the soundtrack, idk about other folks)
