because of running on pure adrenaline, slight dehydration, & minimal sleep, & single-mindedly being invested in the TLT meetup going well, I got exactly one (1) full-body solo photo of my New Rho Cam at NYCC today... and it's this shot of me grimly toting my flag around to be visible to folks trying to find the meetup.

oops.

thank you SO MUCH to everyone who stopped by today, partner/co-organizer in crime @eldritchw1tch, & founder/organizer in absentia @chillyweirdoinacoffin - got a couple hundred photos to sift through, & initial pics incoming soon + exciting shots from @books!

Percy Jackson Preview at NYCC 2023

SPOILERS for the first seven minutes of the series!

We were shown the first seven minutes of the first episode, and a short excerpt of the Minotaur chase scene. This is a breakdown of what happens in the first seven minute excerpt to the best of my memory.

Opens with the ICONIC “I didn’t want to be a half blood” voice over as Percy approaches the camera in a stormy setting, very dramatic and moody

Cuts to title card!

Continued VO with flashback as Baby Percy (7years old) sees strange things and gets into trouble over it. He’s on a roof watching a Pegasus, zoning out in class watching a golden rhino that goes down the streets of NYC until he looks back and it’s just a garbage truck (the Myst at work). Percy is sent to therapy and outcast over these things and told it’s all in his head.

VO Percy introduces Grover who is also outcast, but who listens and does not judge about the things Percy sees. They exchange a Minotaur trading card and Percy doodles various mythical creatures.

Shift to Met museum field trip, Chiron gives a theme-stated moment about the gods and Greek history being about who you are etc. Percy looks at assignment where the words are all moving around, showing his Dyslexia.

While looking at a statue of Perseus, it flashes back to Baby Percy with his mom telling him why he’s named after Perseus; Percy says he’s a hero because he slays monsters; Percy’s mom warns that not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero or villain is a villain. #foreshadowing

Percy is drawn back to present with Nancy and Ms Dodds giving a hard time (ableist bs from Nancy “Percy’s special”) Chiron interrupts and gives the pen / riptide (comic con crowd goes wild, naturally)

Percy and Grover eat lunch outside the museum, sitting on the edge of a fountain, wordlessly w hanging food items (Grover takes a slice of cheese off Percy’s sandwich which I thought was hilarious). They talk about Nancy and Percy jokes (or perhaps does not joke) about shoving her into a dumpster while Grover says to never stand up to bullies. They’re interrupted by Nancy throwing some sort of food which hits Grover in the face. Percy goes to stand up to her and almost goes to shove her but he doesn’t even touch her before she’s flying back and landing in the fountain. Nancy shouts “PERCY PUSHED ME” and that’s the end of the preview!!!

Hello, I’ve been unable to watch the NYCC panel but I see everywhere that is was awful and weird?!?! What actually happened ? Could you make a little recap for people like me who didn’t get to see it? Thank you!

I'll try my best ✌️ this is just the impression I got though (and sorry this got long lmao)

it was awkward because they weren't allowed to talk about ofmd, which made the whole thing seem more and more ridiculous as it went on. in addition, they had to do a sort of game where they were asked questions like "who is the most likely to do [x]" and then write a name on a board and reveal it at the same time. this could've been fine for maybe 10 minutes but they had them do it for the whole hour.

the issues with this game were that 1) the questions were very "generic corporate ice breaker questions", 2) they spent a lot of time in silence writing down, and 3) when a question finally did lead to stories or conversation, it was quickly shut down in order to move on to the next boring question and writing in silence.

they could've asked them about non-struck work (Rhys even brought up the books he's written several times and it wasn't followed up on), they could've collected and vetted fan questions beforehand, they could've just let them talk idk, they could've found a more fun game or ditched the boards (one of my fav moments was Rhys saying something like "I have a mic, why do I have to write it down?" honestly this would've made it 25% less boring lmao).

adding to that, there were sound issues meaning that Con and Rhys couldn't hear what was going on a lot of the time. Rhys said it again and again and nothing was done about it.

you could just tell how frustrated they all were and what this panel could have been if not for the shitty studios refusing a fair deal for the actors. I think the cast did what they could, and there were some sweet and funny moments. but it was clear that Rhys was pissed about not being able to talk about what they all wanted to talk about (I felt bad for everyone but especially for him).

they did a whole "ha ha we were all in New Zealand at the same time what a coincidence" thing and Rhys said that (paraphrased) if only they could be paid fairly, they could create something great with all the talent in the room, going off on the studios for a bit. it was honestly a bit of a relief for someone to voice it (to me, it felt like someone had to say something lmao and he did).

in the end they got a question about fantasy worlds. Rhys said he already lived in a fantasy world in his head and it was nice, though this was one of the odder moments. Matt and Nathan basically agreed and said it was all very weird (in different words). Rhys then said fantasy worlds are important because the real world is shit right now and there's no denying it; that in fantasy worlds we can all love each other and use kindness; and it's important to keep creating and believing in them until the real world becomes like that too.

and then he said "goodnight" (= "fuck this shit I'm out"), got up, put on his sunglasses, and started beat-boxing and rapping saying "why can't we talk about the show". their time had run out anyway, he said it had certainly been an experience, that he couldn't hear much of what was going on, and they all thanked the audience and it ended ✌️

anyway this is just my take and I hope SAG-AFTRA get a fair deal soon so the cast can celebrate the show with us like they so clearly want to. I also hope Matthew Maher does more panels after this (it was his first I think!) despite it being such a weird experience because he was great to watch!! anyway they're all happily doing photo ops and autographs now I guess 🤸

(if you want to watch there is a way)
