a little late sharing this but DreamWorksTV asked the cast and executive producers of JWCT what their favorite JP/JW moments are 🦕 lots of great answers here!

Watching Classic Who is great cause it makes me way more forgiving towards Modern Who. I just watched an episode about a James Bond rip off who has nothing to do with The Doctor trying to warn Earth about a Dalek invasion, and in the end he dies before he gets a chance and it’s all pointless. The Doctor doesn’t even show up. The next episode is about The Trojan Horse. It was amazing.

Lord, give me strength. The PJO discourse has begun, and no one starting it has read the books in the last five years.

I think the most insulting part of the Yakuza tv show is Kiryu's character assassination in the early 1995 segments.

In the games, the whole reason why Kiryu wants to join the yakuza is because of Kazama, a man he looks up to, that raised him and he idolizes and feels indebted to him.

But in the TV show Kiryu's reason for wanting to join the yakuza is idolizing a fighter (who was the "original" dragon of dojima) and instead of looking up to Kazama he resents him and wants to run away from the orphanage.

Not to mention Kiryu's plan to join the yakuza was to rob an arcade owned by the dojima family without telling nishiki, yumi and miho (nishikis sister) about his plans, getting them in trouble as well.

Yeah ok. Kiryu would totally do that.

something i feel responders to pjo criticisms are not getting is book accuracy is important.

rick riordan created this project to be a book accurate adaptation on the screen. it doesn’t matter if annabeth is white and blonde, those people who are mad about that are wrong and their “criticisms” should be just thrown out. no, i’m talking real criticism. because being upset a series whose reason for existing is to be a faithful adaptation isn’t? not stupid. if you can enjoy the series—in my opinion not all the changes are objectively bad, but many, from a storytelling angle? from pure craftsmanship? are objectively bad—regardless, i’m happy for you. truly, if you feel the joy and magic the original series gave me while watching this show, i am overjoyed someone feels the magic. that’s more magical to me, worth more, than the show itself. but if you then insult me for not enjoying the show? tell me i must not love the story as much as you? tell me i am simply looking to hate the newest next thing, and not that i adore this series so much it pains me to see it so? that i don’t wish to see it succeed regardless of the betrayal i feel?

silly me, i thought our shared love of something meant we could all express it, even in different ways. but i guess not. i guess many of the series’ fans are just keen to discuss the show with the same bad faith it was made in.

the way i can't even escape the pain of losing dead boy detectives while watching other shows

i was literally watching LOST earlier and still had to pause for a few mins to try not to cry abt dbda.

because what happened to that layout? where shows were given enough time to have fully fleshed out interesting plots for every main character, even when the show has like over a dozen 'main characters'. where shows were only left on a cliffhanger intentionally, not to set something up that will likely never come.

The wait for percabeth to finally happen is going to be excruciating and I might as well kill myself now because I can’t wait that long

going sicko mode for a weird little british tv show from 2015 apparently because the "we had a game called Doofus" plot twist really shook me

I can happily say that the Percy Jackson series was so good that it even repaired a whole entire molecule from the tidal wave of trauma I acquired from the movies! :)
