#how you gonna say the movies are better

Y'ALL
I just saw a tiktok where someone was like "uhm the new percy jackson show is just not it, the movies fit the vibes better" and while that is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard someone commented
"What vibes are you missing hun, whiteness and not being able to find percy sexy because he is actually 12 this time?"
I would not show my face in public again if I got eaten up like that in my own comment section
#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#how you gonna say the movies are better#you must have not read the books bby girl#mint talks

the percy jackson tv show is actually great when there isn’t a little shit in your ear telling you it’s not “book accurate”
#it’s book accurate enough FOR ME#god can we just try to enjoy something for once#it’s an ADAPTATION. it is not gonna be copy and pasted from the books#but they have the tone and the humor and the CHARACTERS and the themes right#isn’t that what really matters?#and some of yall are acting like they changed the entire plot when really it’s just small changes that service the tv format#and deepen character relationships and interactions#seeing book fans say the movies are better is the most absurd thing i’ve heard in my life… like did we watch the same movies#every single thing the show does wrong is still light years better than every single thing the movies got right#can’t we just enjoy that please#can you tell i’m sick of the nitpicking😭#anyways maybe try to have fun for once in ur life idk#also ur allowed to have constructive criticism that’s so valid. or criticism at all#ofc u should critique the media u enjoy#but saying it’s not a good adaptation is kinda crazy to me idk#when it’s so clear how much thought was put in by the creators and cast to get it right this time#pjo tv#pjo tv show#pjotv#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo spoilers#percy jackon and the olympians#ruch rambles#sorry to hide all that in the tags but it feels very angry and i don’t want to be mean😭 i have the crit tag filtered for a reason lol#i’m choosing joy#but i just wanted to put these thoughts out there

rick riordan dickriders on here will be like "why are you complaining about the pjo tv show, go watch the movies and see what a bad adaptation really looks like" ok well listen to the musical watch it on youtube and see what a good adaptation looks like bitch. it can be done. as a fucking stage musical. what did that 15 million per episode do for disney that chris mccarell couldn't
#this is such a mean post from someone who does genuinely like the show I'm sorry#like there are aspects I really love!! and aspects I really don't!! which makes it mid for me#but I do genuinely like it overall. at least enough to continue watching#it's just that I see sooooo many people who seem to have this attitude like you can't critique it at all??#and their arguments are usually just. “movies were worse” (so we'll take anything now as long as it's not that?)#or “rick was involved in the writing” (<- NOTTT guaranteed to be a good thing lmao)#anyway it's pissing me off. I'm gonna bitch. “if you like the books so much read the books” I WAS PROMISED A BOOK ADAPTATION#AM I WRONG FOR COMPLAINING WHEN I DON'T GET WHAT I WAS PROMISED#“oh but changes are okay as long as it preserves the spirit of the books” since when was the *spirit* of the books a FUCKING BORE🤨#also the cast doesn't deserve this. stick leah and aryan and walker in a better show#pjo#pjo tv show#pjo disney+#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#the lightning thief musical#anyway all this to say some of the changes and choices are Actually Bad and it won't kill you to admit that I think#rereading this post in the drafts and editing before posting when I was handwringing about how mean it was bitch this is mild

yo lotus, you like art, you like animation stuff! what’s your opinion on Disney’s latest work? I think they dropped the ball with Wish…
they fumbled so badly w wish i don’t even want to fucking talk abt it. seeing nimona (project that was originally gonna be scrapped and went to another studio) and boy and the heron (2d style animation that disney does not do anymore due to “minimal range for intended audience”) get nominated instead of wish made me grin wickedly. fuck disney. i mean it.
#how are you gonna make a movie where like three pieces of concept art tell a better story than wtv tf that movie is💀#i will say that the animation was still rly cute and i liked the music#that’s the only good thing i have to say abt it tho#lotus’s asks

someday people will learn to spot the difference between someone who likes to feel "better" than everyone else by mentioning what "highbrow tastes" they have in media, vs someone who just has some uncommon tastes and is trying to introduce you to blorbo from their shows. casablanca and shakespear are still around because some people like them, actually
its unfortunate, then, that some styles arent as lucrative as marvels style. the age of everyone being able to see anyone bitching about things best discussed amongst a select few in their in-group (i cant really post about how much i hated such-and-such media, because people who love it might see it and feel bad) has made it more or less impossible to discuss a hatred of the most popular style without hurting anyones feelings. and i do hate it. and its success has changed how people make movies now. and i am mad. but most of all, i wish i could bitch about it without making the people who genuinely like it sad
theyre still making marvel-likes because people like marvel, and they dont make akira-likes because not enough people like akira. please watch akira. its good. you might like it. if you like akira and other cyberpunk shit please talk to me about blorbo from my "old" non-english movie
#posts that will inevitably be taken in bad faith no matter how i word it so im gonna stop tweaking it now and just hit post#my fav thing ive ever been called pretentious over was someone saying 'oh so you think the movies you like are soooo much#better than the movies you think are bad' (<- paraphrasing but that was the gist) and. like. yeah? so do you?#or else you wouldnt like them and would like different things? because our definitions of 'good' are subjective????#'this asshole over here thinks the things she likes are good! get his ass!'#im sorry but the people who pop a blood vessel thinking about strawmen elitists greatly outnumber ACTUAL elitists#(at least as far as media-based elitists go)

now that i have rereread iwtv i realize that rolins is godsent wallahi this show would be doa if we got a one to one straight adaptation and not because of any content issues or the moral constitution of a modern audience but because that shit would have been boring as hell. like change the channel, scroll thru twitter diy lobotomy sesh boring. love the book, truly a formative masterpiece but if i had to sit through it in visual format id kill myself
#yaz chats to the void#interview with the vampire#its the same reason why i watched the movie three times. once when i was a kid and it introduced me tvc#once after the pilot aired and immediately found the movie grubby in comparison#and once with great effort after the finale of the show to see how it held up and my eyes glazed over#meanwhile i have read the book cover to cover six or seven times#some things are unadaptable and or some things work better in literary format#was gonna say that the show wouldve been a series of guys talking in rooms like it already isnt lmaoooo#but its done cleverly and with panache#and the changes made to all the characters is what elevates the story#moan about it all you want but its the truth

ada could beat leon in a fight at any point in time btw
#speakerphone!#nobody asked#but i just remembered before sw dropped people were saying ada was using a knife against svetlana in damnation bc leon made that comment#during their reunion scene. and its like. first of all im sure they were not thinking of the movies when writing 4r. second... do... do you#do you think ada didnt know knives were better for close combat? do you think trained spy ada wong didnt know this?#frankly. i think she was skilled with knives during 2. not to the degree she is in 4 but still.#if she had gotten her hands on annette it would have been over in a second.#also i keep seeing people say leon beat ada in their reunion scene in 4r and its like???????? neither of them were fighting full out.#she was messing around and he was like 'no. youre not gonna point a gun at me again'#anyways yeah idc how much training he had in 4r she would have washed him completely.

For the ask game! 2, 12, and 26 I hope it okay I picked multiple :3
lmao more than okay! happy to answer these and more!!! thank you sara!!! 2. what’s your feel-good movie? ... and once again, no one was surprised when I said Pride and Prejudice 2005. Also probably The Holiday. Guilty pleasures and all but also I'm someone who hates rom-coms usually but the holiday is genuinely good and intellectual. oh also some like it hot (and I will stop there because if I go any further I will just start listing off movies I like and they will become more dark and grim and I will not be able to stop because there are so many movies out there that I love that may even be horrific but the elation I feel watching all sorts of shit that stimulates the mind?? that's what feels good to me)... ok Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away too there I'm done.
12. how are you? Well.. better than yesterday for sure. I was having a regular catastrophic morb there for a second but I took it easier today and with any luck I'll have an even better day tomorrow and everything will be grand! who knows maybe I'll make some more material progress in the first chapter of One Warm Line.
26. what movie would you want to live in? Ok I know I've already said in previous asks P&P 2005 but I also think living in a ghibli movie of any sort would be kindof neat
soft asks to get to know people
#ask games#WHAT CAN I SAY I AM A HOE FOR P&P 2005!!!!! SHE'S TIMELESS!!! she's beautiful#seriously I'm gonna do a whole video essay someday talking about how much better it is at using the film form to tell the story of P&P than#1995 did. which I know is a sacrilege to many but I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.#also. note you. really gives the crozier x lady terror vibe. even though. I have been watching this movie since it came out#especially lizzie and her dad. that's how lady terror is with her dad Charles Sinclair. yeah

#boooo whatever saying nonsense nothing matters delete later#somebody should invent a proximity to your parents that doesn't immediately make you so emotionally weird forever#overdramatic. Im feeling fine im eating some crackers and lying around chilling. Just. Weird. Off Balance..#Mild Disturbance in my Year of Exceptional Emotional/Mental Chill#not gonna let it break my 2024 streak of feeling generally Pretty Freakin Good and mostly Recovered From The Lost Year#Which btw. can I say... have i said...? Genuinely having one of the nicest years of my life so far... feeling really pretty good#mfw having more control over your life + surroundings + choices + living circumstances means you can genuinely#meaningfully improve ur day-to-day lived experiences and find what works for u to keep u happy + healthy + excited about life... magic#anyway. brief Huh I Feel Kind Of Bad And Sad In A Deeper Way Kicked Off By But Unrelated To Events Of The Day moment earlier#really made me realize how exceptionally good I've had it so far this year... i think... it's possible... things Do Get Better#anyway. ok done Tag Blogging now. just hope everyone enjoys a nice treat or something. get good sleep enjoy ur time change if it applies#watch a movie or something. idk have fun guys have a good night

I've never heard of emts working only at events? What's that like for you if you don't mind my asking?
Yeah, there are ambulance companies that staff certain events, but there's some event specific companies out there lmao. For me specifically, it's almost entirely college events, whether it's happening on a campus or not. It's not great, usually pretty boring, but it's better than being on an ambulance or in a hospital. We do get actual emergencies sometimes, but usually it's just getting drunk people to the tent or giving out water and bandaids lmao. Again, boring as fuck, but I chose this over working on a 911 rig, so that's on me 😔 if I'm being so real tho, other than my coworkers, the best part of the job is the food lmaoooo it's so good and all the food trucks/food booths give discounts or free food to us depending on the location and event. And there's almost always a ton of downtime, so I basically just get paid to sit there and vibe for the most part
#not snz#when i say i love my job i mean i love very specific parts of it lmao#idk if I've said it here before or not and this is gonna sound so bad coming from someone working in healthcare#but i don't like patients lmao#i love the book stuff and i love everything in theory and i know how everything works and I'm very enthusiastic about it#but man do i not like patients ahskaksk#there are exceptions obviously but those are few and far between#it's why i love being an emt at my fire station bc we don't reslond to medical calls#like I've done medical calls there for the public but very rarely bc people either approach us or we stumble upon them#so i really only do my emt things on the people i know and i love that#i love my coworkers so I'm always happy to make sure they're okay and help them out when they're not#but i feel nothing for the public and i didn't realize i genuinely couldn't care less about them until i started doing my clinicals#it's just awkward and I'm not invested in them i just like figuring out what's wrong with them and interact with them as little as possible#again there are exceptions and i do like some of the patients but generally I'm just trying to hand them off asap#so yeah i do like working events bc the alternative is being confined to a tiny box or trapped in a hospital#i like being outside and being able to walk around the place and do things if i want to#and obviously i adore my partner#and even on the rare occasions i work with someone else all day i love my other coworkers too#and i mean yeah this might be more boring than working on an emergency rig However#it pays so much better#like why do y'all think my medic partner works there lmao he's actually good with patients and prefers the ambulance#but the pay in the field is shit so he gets paid way more working events than he would at the three letter company#insane actually that he makes over ten dollars more an hour working chill events than he would being overworked on a rig#anyway i digress#I'm looking into pathology assistant school rn bc there's like no patient interaction there but i still get to be nosy#so that's perfect for me lmao#everyone keeps saying i missed my calling as a vet tho like i don't cry when a dog dies in a movie lmao i wouldn't survive#working with animals would be amazing but the only thing that really gets you money is being a vet#so that can be a hobby

skipping wwe ppv's set in the us, france, and australia because of their human rights abuses and ongoing support on neo-colonialism all over the world
#wrasslin#before anyone can come at me with pitchforks over this... im gonna bring my indonesian card and say how i have one or two ppl i know who#actually went there as a migrant worker and know what its like to be there (spoiler alert it sucks)#being a woman is already hard imagine having your employer as the only person you know in your entire country and youre literallt#reliant on them for housing and food. also there are cases where some families withheld passports from migrant domestic workers#and as a muslim i dont like how the saudi arabia gov have been commercializing the mecca pilgrimage so much#that being said the boycott and backlash on the existence of crown jewel itself is silly#because wwe have been doing shows like tribute to the troops for decades without ppl crying abt it#at best you get a handful of ppl sneering at it but theres no boycott campaigns#despite that tribute to troops is explicitly an event created after 2003 to bolster public support and the morale of the military for#invading iraq and afghanistan. the babyfaces even in the modern era would give a shout out and praise the military#and like. i dont think wrestlers at crown jewel had to say ksa was awesome. they just have to shut up and wrestle#so like. tell me. how is showing up for a match at saudi arabia is a political act while starring in an event or a movie that directly#depicts the military as a force of good is politically neutral?#i can probably word this better but yknow *shrugs*

You know it really do be sad how despite all this time, hollywood still thinks when they do a movie of a game what we want is hyper relistic grafics with characters with marvel type dialogue
Ok this is not to be a hater of the minecraft movie, like i didnt care for it in the first place so i have no place to complain... but-
Like as much as i still think minecraft story mode is a jumble mess of ideas, if the movie used the same principals (with some changes, be that making the light more cinematic and what not), im pretty sure a lot of people would be more on board with it
Like if you want me to get invested "in another world" story why not make the world be different than the actual world aesthetically, like i know for a fact you doing most of this by cgi with as minimal props as possible, at least then have the guts to go all out with it
#txtalk#like i would prefer a spy kids or sharkboy and lava girl levels of cgi insted of that#not to say the plot seems... well lets just say generic#still i kinda understand this isnt being made for me#i do feel it could have been done better (and hell i feel they are gonna do a story mode of making up a story for minecraft)#which whole side tangent... yeah i dont think that is the most intersting plot for a minecraft story you could do#like if you wanna go “in another world” story line making a story of people litteraly just surving minecraft and slowly uncovering the worl#that is a much fun and unique story for something like minecraft#again tho that isnt the suprising thing (it more what i exepected) but this artstyle... it just doesnt match#hope the movie rocks hard and shows me how wrong i was for miss judge it... but i kinda dout it lol

#what then#sixdemon nonsense#also bc i dont want to make a whole post but also cant keep my mouth shut#ended up watching the clip from sebstans upcoming unwanted movie about the felon#he…does not sound like trump he sounds like sebstan#how is there no trump voice. no trump cadence. whats the point#i did lol at the interview beint like ‘hahh mcu fans are fucking nuts’ but polite and the subsequent meltdowns#i only watched the clip bc i kept seeing people say it wasnt the right voice#and i was scrolling looking for drama as usual#mostly i am left baffled and confused as to thsi entire thing that i wont be watching#like if youre gonna make a fuckin trump movie right now#you gotta go all in#it better be picture perfect carbon copy#and its not. wheres the cadence. the accent. the anything#the other dudr in the clip went in much harder#ill probably clear these tags out later but u know me

close encounters of the third kind is an objectively good movie, but it feels sorta tragic. and i doubt thet was the intention lol. love the cinematography, love the music score, love the visual effects. that's all fun and good. but where everyone else seems to see a movie full of "wonder", it just makes me feel sad. the movie ends the way it does and it leaves me feeling bummed the fuck out.
#i'm literally eric stoltz in his version of back to the future thinking marty coming home to a changed 'better' family is Tragic and Bleak#it's why flight of the navigator was a cute movie to be as a kid. but the non-goofy parts legit freaked me out lol#like what do you Mean no time passed and now this kid's younger brother is older than him? he missed on years and it's funny but it's Sad#but at least that all works out#close encounters has the 40s pilots and an assortment of other people (young and old) from various time periods walking off that ship#what happens when they try to go home? will their families be there? will they be decades older? will they be dead?#barry's only been gone for a few days and Seems fine and his mom pretty much got him right back so they're good#but there was at least another kid walking off that ship. what about her parents? how long was she gone?? man...#like yeah the dad fucks off to space and leaves his wife and kids behind. even spielberg says he doesnt like that ending anymore#bc odds are- that guy's family is Never gonna see him again. and they'll never know what happened. they'll never be Told what happened#'dad went crazy and went missing' and that's it. that would fuck with you#this movie's like 'yeah aliens! yeah ufos! yeah the unknown! yeah science! yeah mystery! yeah the power of music'#but the people caught in the middle of all this 'wonder' w/out Seeing that 'wonder' for themselves? this would suck. it's bleak.#such a killjoy take on a classic scifi movie but i forgot how much this movie just gives me a sense of dread#it's not how the audience is meant to feel anyway!#close encounters of the third kind#rambles

#so that dotd rewrite is out and i have some thoughts on it but i wouldn't know where to put them.. maybe in here bc i don't actually feel -#- like making a whole ass text post. this is coming from me as criticism and not hate.. just some crit from one fan to another if you get m#SPOILERS AHEAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>#first off props to the team because this was obv a labor of love - 4 and a half years to make a feature long fan movie is hard work#and the animated stuff was a really nice touch and very commendable - you don't see them too often in big fanworks#in terms of the story well.. there are some things i like and some things that i don't (personally) again no hate#i'm aware this is a rewrite and boy howdy it IS a rewrite - though i am a bit sad that percy doesn't end up being the protagonist and it's#- thomas that has to play hero again.. like i kinda get it but what made the original dotd stand out was that percy was given the spotlight#so i spent an ungodly amount of time wondering when percy was gonna take charge or step into the main story to resolve the problem.. sigh#i liked that they tried to give norman more of a character bc a lot of characters do often get neglected in the series but it was kind of -#- hard to sell that for me? the twist in this rewrite was very creative and i do appreciate it but i guess it just ain't for me#“different” is ok and this is just one of many fan rewrites for this particular story#if there was something i enjoyed.. i guess the beginning was still kind of exciting because the set up was honestly like hype a bit#i liked that diesel and d10 actually got to interact face to face and there are clearer dynamics established for the diesels#and also. silverband's performances as d10 will always be fun he does a fantastic job voicing him (how d10 stole xmas will still be my fav)#my criticisms for this movie also derive from the pacing and the voice acting - i found it hard to try and understand tones sometimes -#- because the delivery felt so off.. like don't get me wrong not everyone in the fandom is a voice actor but if we're using static faces -#- for these fan works the delivery has to be a little more clear or else it'll sound like you're reading from a script.. sorry yall :"|#for the pacing i found it a bit hard to parse when some things were going on and how fast things were progressing#as well as the crashes.. that's also another thing bc i couldn't tell bc of the sfx and audio balancing - it could be better..#i wanna say. muffled voices do not substitute for a “far away”/off-screen voice bc i still can't hear it :“|#there were a lot of throwbacks and references to older thomas media/movies but some of them felt a little.. much?#if this is a dotd rewrite why are we getting some parallels with tatmr.. but i digress. at least they made diesel beef with duck a bit#there's a lot more i could say but i'm keeping those to myself. at the end of the day this fan movie was hard work for everyone involved#and you can tell some of the folks were having fun in there - props to them! i'm always glad to see more fan works in the community#we've come so far we're making feature length fan stories and rewrites that's crazy! i hope to see more in the future#fauxtrainpost.txt
