Lil rant (MAYBE PJATO SHOW SPOILERS?)
Lots of opinions up ahead so uh, look out.
Iām watching the PJATO show and I really love some parts. The castingātheyāre all wonderful (literally everyone, Mr D is hilarious) and any fears I had have been quelled because theyāre all amazing and the trio fit their characters well (even IRL and theyāre so precious). Camp Half Blood ā so well done. The cabins are huge, the colosseum is just what I imagined, and they really did great on making it properly large and vibrant. I love it. Some of the extra beats theyāve added to make it better expanded beyond the strictly Percy POV in the book have been good. Annabeth and Grover chucking Percy into a fountain to try to heal him was hilarious and totally in characterāprobably my favorite part so far. Also: AHHHH SEAWEED BRAIN!
But is anyone just feelingā¦ like the pacing is super slow? Like I get that us āzoomersā have tiny attention spans and stuff but āThe Horse and His Boyā was my favorite Narnia book and I read LOTR when I was 11 so I donāt think my attention span is quite so bad. These kids got ADHD and it feels like every talk and every scene just drags. Every time I think the energy is gonna rise, it gets smacked back down by lackluster scene climaxes. Again, Iām not trying to say we need more explosions or booms or arguments, just that I]it isnāt even remotely eliciting the same kind of goose-pimple/heart thumping moments I remember from the books. I reread them constantly and itās always thrilling.
And the musicā¦ someone I was watching it with said it sounded like generic Marvel music, and theyāre kinda right. I canāt remember a single note from the score at all, and Iām always listening to movie/TV scores because theyāre like listening to the story in music format! PJATOās score though? Canāt even remember it. I canāt remember any of it even being used in certain places. I thought theyād try to get older instrumentals to make it unique, like lyre AND electric guitar in the mix, but honestly I canāt even remember what it sounds like. Thatās bad, right?
[[EDIT: I just looked up the score on Spotify and it was literally made by the people who did the āGod of Warā game score. Thereās no freakin way this music is bad. Iām gonna listen to it alone later. Maybe itās just set really low in the mixā¦ ]]
The ādeathā of Sally Jackson was so lackluster. Just a standard medium long shot, canāt even remember if the music flourished or dropped or anything. Their acting was great, but it was framed so poorly that it just feltā¦ idkā¦
The pacing feels like itās something I would do as an amateur who doesnāt yet understand how to edit on my first few write-upās of a script. Iām not trying to be mean or unfair because I REALLY wanna love this show and I genuinely love a lot of stuff about it and I can tell that so many people are working so hard on it, but holy moly I feel my brain begging for someone to do something impertinent and just slap the show into a roll whenever Iām watching it.
Thereās another issue I have with the timing of the most recent episode but I donāt wanna go much further.
Again, this is all opinion and not meant to say anyone shouldnāt like the show or that the people in it are stupid because they arenāt at all and people should like it! Iām just saying that as someone that really appreciated the pacing of the books (that was quick but never sacrificed the storytelling and slowed down when it needed to), I am really feeling that this show isnt shaping up like that. Additional note: Iām not even saying that the pacing of the show needs to BE the pacing of the books. Iām just saying that the pacing of the books is one of the things that made it so good and I really havenāt read many things with pacing of that quality.
Aaaanyway feel free to disagree with me or roast me alive. I just havenāt seen anyone talking about it and I wanted to rant a little and see what other people thought. Iām still gonna keep watching because I think if they can fix the pacing, imma really freaking enjoy this and in case they do, I donāt wanna miss it. And because Iād rather have more PJATO show than less!

Oh my god. The tears in Lukeās eyes when Percy says the betrayal line. The desperate pleading for them to run away. That he doesnāt want to hurt Percy. The tears in Percyās eyes. The fear and shaking. Percy apologizing for actually hurting him. The look of horror on Lukeās face as Annabeth comes in. How horrified he looks when he looks down at Percy, who he HURT. The realization that Percy wonāt join, and the equaled horror of hurting a twelve year old child.
Then he runs.

percy:
also percy:
hung from the edge of tartarus for almost five minutes with the weight of annabeth and the forces of tartarus and arachne, jumped off several cliffsides of several hundreds of feet without explanation (even in cases where there was no water at the bottom), oh and also held up the weight of the sky, if that wasn't enough
but okay, skinny legend, we DEFINITELY believe you š¤Øš/j

Poseidon really LOVED Sally, huhā¦ the fact that she called and he didnāt even waste a blink of an eye to show up? The fact that she knew he would come? The fact that he didnāt talk to his son to protect him? The fact that he acknowledges Sally as the only person who raised Percy? The fact that he is aware of how hard it is for both of them? The fact that he knew that Sally didnāt want Percy to go to camp just yet? The fact that he actually cares that? Much??
Godsdamn.

unpopular opinion: percy being scared of annabeth in their relationship stems more from his insecurity of being a bad boyfriend than any actual fear that he has of annabeth or any bad trait of annabeth herself.
imo it's coming from the same place of whenever he says "I thought annabeth was going to punch me, but she kissed me instead"
