I have big feelings and big thoughts about being unfaithful to the Greek Myths and the usage of Ovids myths in the show especially in regards to Medusa and Athena

Fuck it

I normally don't take sides when it comes to fandom discussion but every time someone says the change from having Thalia sacrifice herself, Zeus pity her and interfering by changing her into a tree as seemingly an okay act of parenting to have it be Zeus punishes Thalia for being rebellious, something that I remember he seems to let slide ALL OF THE TIME IN THE BOOKS and acting as a irredeemable tyrant is good and totally necessary I feel my blood start to boil.

Yes, Zeus is not a particularly good parent, or person but primarily he's supposed to be distant, sometimes sends help or signs, but most of the time absent.

All the gods are supposed to be, HADES INCLUDED.

That's the point of the whole book series, Percy sees how the gods act, sees how much they suck because of their prides and how sometimes their not much better than their predecessors and then tries to make them understand that their kids deserve better, that they shouldn't have to turn to a greater evil to gain recognition.

They must break the cycle of abuse and neglect, because for all their flaws and stubborness, they COULD be better.

But by having this change in the show, it not only destroys the complexity of Zeus and Thalia's relationship (and hell, even Jason and Zeus' / Jupiter's, despite how little interaction they get together) but also Zeus as a character, the figure used the most in saying why the gods suck, and give us, the audience, no silver of hope that the gods still have a chance to be better.

I don’t know, I find it genuinely upsetting that Rick Riordan spent +10 years egging on his fans’ anger about how much the movies failed them and how they deserved a faithful adaptation, only to finally get that chance and choose to rewrite his books and materialize his retcons instead.

blocking each and every person who thinks 'Zeus turning Thalia into a tree as a punishment' was a good change bc I refuse to have stupid people on my screen

my poor friend i had to break it to her that Rick riordan is ABYSMAL at ANY kind of sapphic representation. the only lesbians he has are blink and you'll miss it characters, meanwhile his bisexual girls are ALWAYS with men and the only queer characters to REALLY get page time are gay/bi boys. Rick hates lesbians clearly 😂

it must be so awkward to be one of dionysus's kids at camp halfblood like not only is ur father literally twelve feet away from you playing cards with chiron but he's a campus meme. he is forced to stay legally sober because ur grandpa is mad at him. he burns through 80 diet cokes a day. he regularly fake claims kids in order to bully them into getting him wine. he's just some insane little guy. and he's ur DAD

am i disappointed bianca doesn’t look like me as an italian girl with tan olive skin and frizzy black hair considering she was one of the only characters i saw who truly looked like me as a kid? yes. am i going to berate the actor and shit on her acting for this sole reason, sending her death threats and say she doesn’t deserve the role? hell no. i’m going to hype her up and cheer for her like she’s my own daughter. learn from me leahbeth haters

unfriendly reminder dior goodjohn is a fucking zionist. rick riordan has used the both sides card (not to forget his very islamophobic writing). pjo show literally has lin manuel miranda. the actors for hephastus and medusa are vocal zionists. idc if you are pirating it, still sharing about the show and sharing about the show waters down the whole thing of boycotting in the first place. pjo is a disney plus show and bds has explicitly said to boycott disney. to people saying childhood nostalgia to defend this, let me say this once: pjo has been one of my first fandoms growing up, the books once upon a time shaped my childhood, it has created an impact for me but if i (who had once waited for a pjo show for years) can denounce it, so can you. it is not an easy process but amidst a live genocide happening the least y'all can do is watch the show via pirating and not say a word about it online.

One of things that really turned me off of the pjo world among lots of other things was that all the titans and primordials were portrayed as purely evil with no nuance or variety in morality. In the books, even Iapetus, who is labelled a "good" titan, was pretty much brainwashed into being benevolent.

Nyx was such a loving and devoted mother in mythology that she scared off Zeus when he tried to harm her son Hypnos. Prometheus went through excruciating pain on a daily basis just for humanity to have light and heat. Leto was described as kind and gentle and was the titan goddess of motherhood. Phoebe gave Apollo, her grandson, the oracle of Delphi as a gift. Oceanus, in some myths, helped Zeus overthrow Kronos by giving him a potion that would induce vomiting and release his siblings and he and Tethys pretty much raised Hera during the titanomachy. Helios was a loving father to Circe and all his kids and even saved her when a giant attacked her island. Etc, etc.
