i can't help but laugh when i watch the new p/jo show and it uses all of its effort not to deliver a good story, but to go out of its way to never use more of its vfx budget than absolutely necessary

finished episode 3 and not only do they turn medusa invisible to mime cutting her head off so they don't have to show it but they also have the turning a fury to stone be blurry through a window???

am i crazy? am i a hater?? am i living in an alternate reality where the show is just bad???

#about to go absolutely crazy in the tags hold on #everything feels so awkward and stilted and the framing of scenes and story beats is just so #weird???????#the biggest criticism of the movies were that they weren't faithful to the books #and like obviously i'm not expecting the show to be a perfect 1 to 1 recreation of the books #but some of the rewrites are just . bad????#why is gabe okay?? you realize we have to kill him by the end of the book right???#i don't care if they want to make him ''more realistic''#the whole point is supposed to be that he's such an asshole that p.ercy's okay with killing him!!!#we get the whole lu/ke ann/abeth t/halia backstory in episode 2 in exclusively dialogue format #when like . it's supposed to be kind of a huge deal??????#i accidentally talked over what i thought was going to be a small part of it and then i ended up missing the entire thing??????#where's the fates scene?? the sword training scene???#and telling you it's medusa from the get go absolutely ruins the tension of the entire scene #not that it matters considering she and every other monster they fight gets one shot #i'm not even going to talk about the bad writing and directing because i already feel like i'm going crazy #am i being too mean? i feel like i'm being mean but it's just ! bad !!!!#losing my mind what the fuck #what do you mean critical reviews are mostly positive #not putting actual tags on this because i'm just speaking to the void right now 😔
