I’m really not vibing with the theme music and the more I think about it the more I think it’s for the same reasons people are having issues with the pacing.

The books are adventures - it’s kids being sent off on their own to complete quests and fight monsters and save their friends. They’re fun and upbeat and scary and exciting.

The theme music is whimsical and magical and completely opposite to the sense of adventure of the original stories, and I think that’s lost in the show as well. The complete lack of urgency and weird pacing makes the stakes seem really low and the encounters with monsters are over so quickly or interrupted by something that brings the tension of the scene crashing down.

#like this week with Grover chasing Augustus that felt urgent that felt necessary and like there were stakes for him to catch up to him. why #don’t we have the same level of intensity in any other encounter in this show?#okay I take it back I remember capture the flag and that had all the things I want in the other fights in this show! it had drama it had #stakes it had excitement and that was all within the boundaries of camp while they were still safe and as soon as they left things just seem #so toned down? idk man #and now that the deadlines passed there’s going to be even less urgency. like we’ve only got Percy’s will driving the quest now and I don’t #think that’s going to make them go any quicker seeing as a deadline before a war kicked off didn’t so idk. I don’t know what to expect from #the last two episodes but I don’t have high hopes …#idk I want to love it I really do but there’s just too many choices the show runners and writers and whoever else made that I can’t get behi #behind #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians
