thinking about the Percy Jackson show and how I, humbly, think fan-critics are missing the forest for the trees when they complain it’s not a perfect adaptation. What’s really neat about the show is watching a creator have the opportunity to revisit and perfect a 20-year-old work - I mean, how cool is that?? How interesting is it to make notes of the places where the story & its details diverge to make a new whole! The places where Rick agreed “these story beats are still important” versus the ones that have - frankly - been improved, or at least changed. From an art-appreciator’s standpoint I really really enjoy that.

#Percy Jackson and the Olympians #pjo #the main change that surprised me was the emphasis on Sally x Poseidon #bc it had just NEVER OCCURRED TO ME oh damn #what COULD Sally have meant to him to be the SOLE EXCEPTION IN 70 YEARS!#which is an excellent bit of character development that clearly didn’t occur to Rick in the beginning either!#I also think it’s fine that Percy is knowledgeable of the myths! they’ve built that into his upbringing (see: above)#it’s also natural Percy is gonna be a little less funny/sarcastic because it’s a totally different medium!
