#pjo tv adaptation

[argoii-official]

let’s be real, annabeth was doomed from the start

(send me asks! think of these real art posts as ads)

"Don't worry kid, you're dad had plenty of kids he stopped helping out when he lost interest"

Theseus, who was helped by poseidon multiple times, but in the end was thrown off a cliff by the citizens of Athens and drowned. Drowned in the ocean, the very domain of his father.

Kymopoleia, who was neglected by Poseidon once he found her to be too violent, left to wander his abandoned palaces, given up as a war prize to man she didn't even want with no choice at all.

Bellerophon, who was given the pegasus to tame as a gift from Poseidon in some myths, dying by falling off of it on his way to Olympus.

I'm just saying, that line wasn't a random throwaway line by Ares, he means it.

something about percy winning against ares by drawing first blood, not giving a fuck that it’s the god of war he is making an enemy out of vs him being caught totally unaware by luke and luke drawing first blood because percy hesitated, because this is his friend, because making an enemy out of a god is way more preferable over making an enemy out of a friend. percy winning against insurmountable odds vs him losing because his loyalty is truly and undoubtedly fatal.

Percy being there while Poseidon and Zeus speak in Ancient Greek is not the mixed-family / immigrant family household representation I expected from this show but well welcomed.

The parents switching to the native tongue to talk about family drama and the kids catch just enough to understand some of the drama.

Percy really step foot on Olympus and went:

Percy: 🫵YOUR DAD is fucking up my sleep schedule AND YOU BETTER GET THERAPY YOU LITTLE-

rip "we drowned in a bathtub." "all three of you?" scene. gone but not forgotten.

"Impertinent isn't a 12 year old word" TO YOU. It's not a typical word in a 12 year old's vocabulary.

But Percy isn't an average 12 years old. He's smart. He's beyond average smart. The only reason why he sucks at school is because they don't accommodate his dyslexia and ADHD, and even then he managed to get good enough grades to be accepted into a university after missing most of his 11th grade.

And to really nail down this point, please look at this quote:

Percy has a superior vocabulary, one that includes big words like impertinent. And it's all thanks to one Sally Jackson, who nutured her son's education when the system failed him.

The main reason why a huge part of the fandom thinks Percy is stupid is because some characters (cleary not our queen Sally Jackson) talk down to him, call him stupid, encourage others to make jokes about him being stupid etc. We should recognize that those dialogues are not a reflection of Percy, but of what those characters think about Percy and Percy's non-existant self esteem.

Percy automatically assuming the reason Annabeth was acting weird was because they hugged. My man is DOWN BAD, as they say.

i’m so excited for this episode! the tunnel of love! both walker and leah said these were their favorite scenes! THE PERCABETH IS AND WILL BE PERCABETHING!!!

[thegoldenappleofdiscord]

the fates looking like your typical neighborhood gossip aunts is the realest depiction they could've have done tbh

[feelingtheaster99]

It is completely in character for Percy to say he has some dumb questions, then ask incredibly valid questions that no one has brought up till now

[spiderhydian]

Percy seeing the Perseus statue who’s also holding medusa is fucking everything. this show is gonna be perfect. DISNEY PAY YOUR WRITERS

[wierdshenanigans]

Really shows how fandoms are welcome to change, as long as it's GOOD change, considering how different the amusement park scene was in the show vs the books. It's nowhere close to the book scene but we are all FOAMING at the mouth over it. It's not change that makes a movie adaptation bad, it's the way you handle it and the way you show complex character arcs that can't be shown on a screen the way it can be on a page

[randomness-is-my-order]

one of the funniest things about percy exploring the mythic world is that unlike other children’s fantasy stories, there is absolutely no starry-eyed wonder, instead percy’s just going “ah fuck” at the tenth vaguely greek looking structure or yet another unexplainable magical occurrence. more than excitement at discovering this new world, he is just so tired of all the bullshit surrounding him 24/7 and i think it’s just so valid.

[greenyoshi73]

it just occurred to me that nobody bothered to tell Annabeth about Ares and the helm and the bolt since she was in asphodel.

Girl saw her bestie challenge a god to combat with no context a couple hours before her oldest friend tried to kill her bestie. The girl must be confuzzled.

there's something so heartbreaking about watching the show and seeing literal children. because annabeth speaks like she's been screaming for years, and no one cares to listen. grover worries like he's replaying the death of a loved one in his head at any given moment. and percy carries his anger like it's the only thing that keeps him going. and they're kids.
