which pjo movie do u think was better? i know the bar is in the earth's core with the pjo movies so one being better isnt really any different but i am curious

While they are Not Good, I UNIRONICALLY think there is a tier list, and it's

The Lightning Thief

Sea of Monsters

Like sorry but the Lotus Casino Poker Face Kesha drug trip was ICONIC and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. "It's like a high school WITHOUT a musical". Rosario Dawson as Persephone. That cleaning lady witnessing a bunch of teens carrying around a severed head, after which Grover profusely and honestly apologizes. Every watch party is filled with cheers, laughs, and woops because it's the definition of bad but fun. SOM can't compare, it has the My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark scene and that's it

god help me and the rage burning in my blood upon hearing the incredible mystery thriller star wars property The Acolyte (starring she/they icon Amandla Stenberg, not even getting into the fascinating grey areas explored in the 8-episode show, THE BRENDOK COVEN OF FORCE WITCHES😭😭😭 ) isn’t getting a second season while confirmed transphobe Rosario Dawson is still the front face of Ahsoka and that show getting a second season !!!!!!!!!!!!!! screaming and sobbing and ripping chunks and chunks out of the flesh of the disney EXEC’s responsible

“A World Between Worlds,” Cryssy Cheung | Star Wars Celebration 2023

"For this piece I was inspired to draw Ahsoka — a character that I've always been drawn to for her selflessness, loyalty, and kind-hearted nature. After seeing her portrayed by the incredible Rosario Dawson, I knew immediately that I wanted to draw the live-action rendering.

"For her pose, I wanted to depict a stance that is iconic to her character. For the background, I was deeply influenced by the art direction in the final season of Star Wars Rebels, where Ahsoka and Ezra Bridger are in the World Between Worlds. I felt this part of the series was very important to the story and to each of their character arcs, and it felt fitting to put her in that space!"

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (mild spoilers)

Of course now that the show is out, I have to watch the old movies. Y'all. These are half baked. The scripts are so bad. And they are all so old! Like why are these adult men at summer camp??? The script treats them like they're all in college - this movie is like Pitch Perfect with less singing, or Cabin in the Woods.

Also, "you need to train before you deal with this potential war that's happening in 10 days"???? 10 DAYS???? What training were they expecting to happen before the quest started? I have a very minimal recollection of the books, but I don't think Rick Riordan would've written that kind of plot.

And why is Steve Coogan of all people Hades? You're trying to tell me the miniature Roman from Night at the Museum is HADES.

There are redeeming qualities, though. The cast is like... oddly star-studded? Rosario Dawson? Pierce Brosnan? Stanley Tucci in Sea of Monsters? UMA THURMAN???

There are also so many weirdly iconic scenes. Defeating Medusa by using the back of an ipod? Iconic. "This is a pen"? Iconic. "Those are working class Americans!" in response to Annabeth taking out the janitors? Iconic. The casino? Iconic.

And Jake Abel carries all of his scenes, he actually breathes life into the role. I kept watching just for him. Young me was obsessed with him - forget Percy.

These films are seriously like a fever dream, I kinda love it. Sea of Monsters is actually not terrible. The production value was way higher, the script was better, the cinematography was better. Still did a disservice to the books, but I like it unironically.

i haven't seen The Lightning Thief movie since 5th grade when it came out so I'm rewatching it before i listen to the Newest Olympian episodes about it and i'm only 2 minutes in and i don't remember any of this at all so i thought i'd make a post of my reactions throughout the movie.

okay so the mist doesn't cover anything cool

so far two major rules of the percy jackson world don't exist: the great prophecy and mist. can it even be percy jackson without them?

so their dyslexia just lets them read greek letters?

also why tf is percy wearing the shoes

i kinda like the idea of the hydra presenting has like 5 people

ah, percy is wearing the shoes so he can fight the hydra while flying, i see.

annabeth has so many random weapons and they just sort of appear. does she have like, a bag of holding or something?

so like so far percy has not controlled water at all but now he just sees a water fountain and thinks, yeah i can use that

why is grover so sexualized

why is persephone so sexualized

"i am going to be king of the gods" alright chill

also just realized that there is no history between annabeth and luke and she's not upset that he was the lightning thief

sally went with them???

WHAT IS LUKE DOING HERE

luke having his own shoes is very funny

huh?

kronos is just not a factor in this movie

luke, you have the bolt, why are you chasing percy

percy hit luke so hard his shoes fell off

how does sally know how to get into olympus

i love how in the books the gods are 10 feet tall and in this movie they're 50

love that they recast hermes for the second movie

he's so tiny, i cannot take this seriously

i think it is interesting that poseidon would have stayed to raise percy if he could. the movie really said good dad!poseidon

percy doing the politician wave to say bye to his mom

grover is not looking for pan at all, interesting

CHIRON SAYUNG PERCY IS HIS FAVORITE IS SO FUCKING WILD there's literally other campers around you

Star Wars Ahsoka: "Master and Apprentice" & "Toil and Trouble" - Review

After years of teasing and build-up, Star Wars' most iconic animated character makes the jump to live-action in her own series that follows up on plot threads that many fans have been anxiously awaiting for years. However, the series' opening two chapters prove surprisingly flat and middling, signaling potential problems and (maybe) promise.

(My apologies for the delay on this one. I've been moving for the past several weeks and have barely had time to sit down and write these.)

Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) is on a mission. Whispers of Grand Admiral Thrawn's return from the unknown reaches of space has sent her and former Jedi training droid Huyang (David Tenant) on a galactic treasure hunt, trying to locate a map to the Imperial leader's location before it falls into enemy hands. However, when a team of Dark Side (Ray Stevenson and Ivanna Sakhno) mercenaries attack a New Republic convoy and free Thrawn's associate Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Insonato), Ahsoka must turn to her former apprentice, Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), for help.

Ahsoka doesn't exactly start with fresh slate. Even outside of the baggage that is normally associated with any Star Wars project these days, this continuation of Dave Filoni (and Jon Favreau's) New Republic saga arrives with quite a bit of excitement and unease. Sure, Ahsoka is a beloved character who has captured the imaginations of generations of fans. Yes, fans of Star Wars animation have been waiting for over five years to see the continuation of certain plot threads from Star Wars Rebels. However, the last few projects from Filoni and Favreau (The Book of Boba Fett and recent seasons of The Mandalorian) haven't exactly sparked confidence in this shared universe of stories. Would they even be up to the task of creating a show that effectively worked as a spinoff of three different series, two of them animated? And this doesn't even take into account leading actress Rosario Dawson's alleged acts of transphobic abuse.

After the Ahsoka's two part premiere, the jury is still out. Neither "Master and Apprentice" or "Toil and Trouble" are outright disasters, but neither are they runaway hits.

Perhaps Ahsoka's biggest hurdle as a series is transitioning the characters and plotlines from its animated source material to live action in a way that pleases returning fans and Disney+ viewers who have maybe only watched The Mandalorian. And this is where Dave Filoni, who wrote all eight episodes and directs the series premiere, seems to flounder the most. Sure, his scripts don't exactly drown the viewer in mountains of lore and exposition, but Ahsoka fails at making viewers care.

Ahsoka fumbles so hard out the gate at establishing emotional investment in its leads and their struggles that it almost flattens the entire project. There is just so very little in Ahsoka for viewers to care about if they aren't already invested in seeing what happened at the end of Rebels.

Much of this, unfortunately, comes down to Ahsoka herself. Rosario Dawson plays the former Jedi as a stoic and almost serene figure. This may work fine as a supporting or guest character, but Ahsoka's guarded and quiet demeanor offers little for viewers to latch onto. Curiously, this ends up being an issue that alienates both new and returning viewers alike. Ahsoka in Ahsoka (or The Mandalorian/The Book of Boba Fett for that matter) feels so unlike the character fans have come to know that she may as well be someone different entirely. The passionate and outspoken adolescent/young adult from the animated shows is almost entirely absent. This isn't in and of itself an issue. People age and Ahsoka has surely been through alot in the last few years, but the change is so drastic that lacking any context for what exactly has lead our heroine to her current place in life that it can't help but feel like we are speaking to a very estranged family member. Dawson's subdued, almost flat, performance doesn't let us in and Filoni's script doesn't do her any favors.

There's a maddening amount of withholding present in Ahsoka's storytelling and nowhere is this more present than in Ahsoka's relationship with Sabine Wren. Perhaps one of the most unexpected turns that Ahsoka takes as a narrative is revealing that at some point in the last several years Ahsoka began training Sabine in the ways of the Jedi, but at some point prior to the show's start it's revealed that their mentorship deteriorated and the two went their separate ways. Filoni desperately wants the teacher, pupil dynamic between these two to be the emotional crux of the series, but many of the same issues arise. Sure, we can't expect to know the entire history of both women at the outset of Ahsoka, but the amount of blank space and detachment present in the storytelling still keeps the viewer at bay.

While Liu is allowed to emote a bit more than Dawson, Sabine is still a relatively flat character here who is mostly left to brood and verbally spar with her former master. While it's maybe not as dire an issue as with Ahsoka, there's still so little either new or returning viewers are allowed to know or understand about Sabine at this point in her life to develop an emotional attachment to the narrative or even fully comprehend what is going on. The same unfortunately applies to Hera Syndulla, who is played here by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. While her role in the story is much more a part of the supporting and less clouded in mystery, neither of the premiere episodes really allow Winstead or Hera to come into their own outside of acting as a mother figure. Sure, a plotline in "Toil and Trouble," the premiere's second episode has both women hunting down potential Imperial sympathizers at a New Republic shipyard, but character takes a backseat to plot and action. (It is neat that these shows are showing the difficulties of what happens when you try to build a democracy out of the remains of autocracy. It's not always well executed, but I appreciate that its an idea that both shows are playing with.)

All of that said, Ahsoka isn't a complete dud. There is quite a bit working here that keeps the series afloat even as it flounders. For example, David Tenant's Huyang is a delight, bringing a much needed sense of energy and levity to nearly every scene he is a part of.

Oh, and the villains rock. The late Ray Stevenson's Baylan and his apprentice Shin arrive onto screen in a wonderful introduction that feels like a twisted inversion of the opening to The Phantom Menace. There may not be much to hold onto there in terms of emotional or psychological depth, but both Stevenson and Sakhno have such great screen presence that they still feel like scene stealers. The same can be said of the mysterious and acrobatic former Inquisitor Marrok and former Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth. Sure, at this point in the game, Thrawn may just be an idea more than a character, but Filoni and crew have still assembled an entertainingly sinister rogues gallery for Ahsoka and her allies to do battle with.

Ahsoka also just looks and sounds great. The production value of the series feels positively cinematic and we are frequently treated to creative sets, characters, vehicles, and creatures that make this feel as close to a serialized Star Wars movie as we may get. Also unsurprisingly, Kevin Kiner nails the musical score, particularly in a World Between Worlds inspired end credits sequence.

It's hard not to feel a little deflated after watching both "Master and Apprentice" and "Toil and Trouble." There's potential room for growth, but it's hard not to feel that maybe this was a story that was best left to animation. At least that way we would've seen some signs of life.

Master and Apprentice: C+ Toil and Trouble: C+
