Pjo movies: exist

Pjo fans: the movies are shit for inaccuracies like the actors' ages, Percy and Annabeth's romantic chemistry too early on, Annabeth's hair colour and many changes in scenes and plots from the books

Rick Riordan: hates on the movies (despite him never having seen them in the first place) and promises an adaptation more faithful to the original source material

Pjo fans: thrilled

Pjo series: exists

Some pjo fans: the actors look nothing like the characters we grew up with (and with the pace things are going, will be way older than the movie actors should the series continue beyond s2), there are Percabeth romantic scenes added in the first season that weren't there or weren't romantically charged in the books, Annabeth isn't blond (and with the way the fans treated the movie actress I am side-eying that not more people were upset Leah didn't go blonde), and many things were changed from the books

Rick Riordan: I'm the author, these are my decisions, deal with it.

Other pjo fans: the changes are great, just stop watching if you don't like it.

Some pjo fans: stop watching show

Pjo show: ratings go down, won't make it past s3 or 4 (my prediction, but still)

This is a more or less humorous take on what I've witnessed in the pjo fandom when the series ws announced to when it aired. Personally, I think Rick shot himself in the foot when he hated on the movies for not being faithful to his work and got the fans' hopes up for a more book accurate adaptation that he ultimately failed to deliver. He would've probably received less backlash and the fans would've been more open to changes if he hadn't hated on the movies for exactly that, changes to his source material.

i hate to say it but lowkey the pjo movies were better than the show. idec

movies were:

way funnier

more entertaining

honestly had better looking cgi

unintentional but i thought annabeth switching actors mid series was so funny (hey, future harvest here: i don't know why i thought her actor was different. LMAO.)

for some reason they beat kronos in BOOK TWO. so we can all agree movie percy is more powerful than book percy /j

honestly had like wayyy better acting throughout most of it. maybe its because the actors actually seemed like they had fun filming the movies and delivered every line with actual fucking personality instead of the show doing. whatever that was

movie luke was kinda funny like wtf is even happening. what are you saying

all in all movies were peak (in like a funny bad way, not necessarily a great adaptation way) fuck rick riordan for shitting on the movies AND the actors (????? wtf), go watch the movies instead of the show because the show is dogshit

[vixnarts]

To the toxic show fans that don’t know what dni means when I post about my opinions on the show. Please learn how to read, thanks.

[justaneedle]

All the problems with riordanverse in the story and characters come from his personality and/or the fact that he is not a competent writer.

According to the characters, it's too easy to trace a) what plot role they play, b) what kind of personalities they supposed to have and c) what they turned out to be in the end, because all three usually don't fit together.

Add general retcons here. These are just poorly written books, because, well, we can't take them individually, these are series.

[strangeweirdgirl]

Sorry, but I can't be excited. The one character I wanted to be book accurate (aside from Luke).

What's the point of a TV show if it can't be anything like the books, our vision, and imagination coming to screen. Rick is such a disappointment. Like keep some things the same or try to please the fans that were there since the beginning and want book accurate stuff.

[briar-rose83]

Entering a fanbase of something you like is wild, bc you suddently realise that there are some really cool stuff out there but also you find out that there are some opinions about that show/ book/whatever that you never thought someone could have??

Like finding out there are people that hate a character that everyone loves, and you just keep going into the # and the post thinking "you must be kidding me" and then you are like "oh boy they're serious".

[lilacartsmadsion]

I feel compelled to make a whole ass essay post making an argument that maybe the PJO Show is more of a Fix-It version of PJO rather than just a ‘Rewrite’

Because after looking at some of the Percabeth scenes and most of Annabeth’s scenes and some of the obvious scenes, I realized that’s why it was SO different…other than the censorship issues.

But I feel like I might start a sea of hate towards me because half of this argument is gonna call out the Percabeth and Annabeth Antis.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Drawing Percy Jackson as a black tweaking of his popular fandesign mold dosen't count as drawing Percy Jackson as black.Because,guess what,Percy actually DOSEN'T look like in the books how he's popularly drawn!His default expression is an intense rbf and not a smirk or a smile,he's easily identifiably as an amab person who presents as male but according to Piper Mclean aka a canon butch lesbian Percy isn't as masculine as cishets say he is in-universe and he dosen't wear mainstream or white altie boy fashion.Either draw Percy Jackson as an afrolatino with Percy vibes or draw him white.He might as well be with what he looks and acts like in y'all's shit.'Peter Johnson' refers to lightskin Percy too and i'll take Walker!Percy over him and Logan!Percy any day.At least Walker!Percy is actually audhd-coded and not facially challegend

[genericpuff]

rachel could never own up to the fact that her comic is worse than the PJO movies-

[just--a--random--human--being]

Bc of the fact that Rick Riordan is the #1 pjo movie hater I am officially adopting the movies

[fanfic-lover-girl]

The PJO casting feels lazy to me

Especially compared to the casting for the HP movies.

Emma Watson was a bit too pretty for Hermione but at least an effort was made to give her bushier hair and buck teeth at the beginning.

I think they tried to give Daniel contacts so he could have green eyes to match the character but he had an allergic reaction or something.

Tom Felton probably had hair damage after all that hair bleaching he went through.

The adult characters like Lucius and Snape wore wings I'm sure.

Compare this to the pjo cast. So freaking lazy.

Why couldn't Walker and Charlie wear wings?

If you're going to race swap Annabeth, why not put some gold highlights in Leah's braids or give her grey contacts. I have seen some great Black!Annabeth fanarts with this. As much as I hate Black!Annabeth I can at least tolerate her fanarts over Blonde!Percy and Blackhair!Luke.

They couldn't do something to make Dior look buffer for her role as Clarisse???

Where is all that money going??? I swear Disney has to be laundering money over there.

can rick just shut up leave my terrible movies alone

i love the show obviously but god

Perachel

Parent Trap AU

Two girls, very similar to each other, meet in the camp. Both have red hair and green eyes. They don't have a good beginning, but later they get to know each other better (also one can control the water and the other has visions. Their names are Melody and Perachel). Perachel suffered a little bullying by Melody and her friends because of her name. The young kids discover they are twins and change places.

Melody meets Rachel, her mother, and realises she is very beautiful, smart and nice. Melody gets angry at her father for starting a relationship with Annabeth and trying to make them a family. They already were cousins anyway, like Melody or not.

Perachel meets Percy and Annabeth. Perachel doesn't like Annabeth, especially when she calls the girl her daughter. But, she still tries to play nice because that's how her real mother teached her to be. She gets frustrated with Percabeth's wedding coming and gets in touch with her sister, who complains that they can't use phones. Perachel tells her sister everything. Melody convinces Rachel to travel to San Francisco to meet a friend called Melody that invited her to a wedding of Melody's parents. Rachel accepts and they go (even when the name kinda reminded her of a very sad moment in her life)

There, Rachel meets a beautiful man that she feels like she knows him, just doesn't remember from where. Both share glances and smiles. In the end, they discover the other was Rachel/Percy by the twins. Percy gets confused. Rachel tells them about her missing baby that she lost when she took her daughters to the park. Rachel explains they did that thing when she wasn't an oracle anymore. However, Percy can't remember any of this.

Percy remembers about adopting the child. He apologizes and tries to give Melody back to Rachel, but she rejects it, saying he was also the father of the two girls. Percy gets confused about this. They are interrupted by Annabeth, who takes Percy to continue seeing things about the wedding.

Percy suggests a bonding time. Rachel rejects it. She tells him she had to finish some projects. Percy understands it. He takes Annabeth and the girls. Melody and Perachel don't like the idea, but they had to go to create a plan to separate Percy and Annabeth and make him come back to their mother.

Perachel shows Melody a book she found in the guest room, where Annabeth's sfuffs were, and Annabeth's diary. They find out that Aphrodite put a trap for Percy, making him fall in love with Annabeth again and only see Rachel as a friend. The girls discover that a true love kiss breaks the spell. So, they elaborate two little traps, one for Annabeth and the other, for their parents.

For Annabeth, they put some medicine for sleep on Annabeth's food. At night, they take Annabeth's (still sleeping, on her "little bed") and put her in the lake. The girls wake up early in the morning. Melody uses her power to make Annabeth fall into the water. Annabeth wakes up desperate. Percy wakes up with her screams. He looks at his daughters, already guessing they had something to do with it.

During one night at the hotel, everyone is having dinner in the hotel restaurant. Then, many people start screaming. There were lots of spiders around the place. Annabeth acts on impulse and gets on Percy's lap, holding him. Percy sighs. He takes Annabeth to her hotel room and puts on her bed. He comforts her until she falls asleep.

Melody and Perachel take their parents to a reserved place only for them. Percy and Rachel have a dinner together. They almost kiss, but they are interrupted by a waiter saying that Percy was needed in Annabeth's hotel room. Percy sighs, apologizes to Rachel and leaves.

Rachel is feeling very hurt because her feelings for Percy are coming back and she can't stand it anymore. On the wedding's day, Rachel decides to leave before the Wedding, making everyone get shocked. Melody and Perachel get sad and say goodbye to each other. Percy gets confused. But, Rachel insists that she needs to leave.

Melody gets angry at Percy and tells him very serious that needs to make up his mind and that he needs to start following his feelings if he doesn't want to lose another daughter. Percy gets sad and confused. Moments later, he is almost ready for his wedding. But, he stops what he was doing and looks at the mirror with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In the end, Perachel and Rachel arrive at home and they get surprised with Melody and Percy there. Percy tells Rachel he couldn't stay with Annabeth when his feelings are very confused. Percy tells her that, despite only remembering about Annabeth in his mind, his heart was screaming for Rachel. Both adults get emotional and end up kissing each other in front of their kids. Percy remembers Rachel. They confess their feelings to each other. Then, both kiss again.

Melody whispers in Perachel's ear asking her why they took too long to get there. Perachel tells her that she had a vision of their parents together. So, she needed to find ways to distract their mother. Melody tells Perachel that she may look like an angel, but she is a devil in disguise. Both sisters laugh.

Percy and Rachel finally marry each other and the family lives together, after a long time separated.

Oh, guess what? I just saw the photo from the first movie with Rick. Of course not without stupid jokes.

And you know what? Now I do actually believe this information about Rick being hypocritical meow-meow about these movies. This bitch definitely not being honest.
