they both slipped into ancient greek so naturally and fluently that i really believed they were millennia old immortals who’ve seen the earth through a thousand different eras like i got chills bro those are GODS
and his fatal flaw is PERSONAL LOYALTY so he literally cannot understand how a person could stab another person in the back. in his mind there is never any justification for it, dude is bewildered
at this point i could not care LESS what they change from the books bc aryan, walker, and leah are SO canon golden trio that im convinced all these deviations happened in the books and i just didn’t read it right. and that’s MY BAD!!!
mind you, he can’t even use his powers on command yet. he’s only used them during times of immense stress,,,, so all that went through is mind was “SAVE HER. SAVE HER.” so intensely that the water HAD to obey
the way that percy using his water powers to save annabeth in the tunnel of love parallels percy using his water powers to create a bubble for their underwater kiss at the end of the series
rick completely mischaracterizing apollo from his greek mythology personality was the best choice he ever made. the himboification of an otherwise knowledgeable and serious god was a much better lane for apollo to be in 😂
i’ve always loved percabeth but the show is giving it so much more substance and nuance that i feel like i’m falling in love with them again for the first time
this line delivery was top tier. not just cus he said the thing but bc percy agrees so nonchalantly like a throwaway comment bc he has no idea what impertinent means 😭
the kid i nanny told me she has a crush on “percy jackson” and i said “the book character? or the boy playing him on tv” and she said “there’s a book character?” GUYS WE HAVE TO TELL THE YOUTH
his face when he realized annabeth was going to sacrifice herself 🥺 mans was PANICKING like literally dying from poison and only gave a fuck about saving her i am not well
anyone who is complaining about grover’s character changes can catch hands bc i love that he’s not a nervous wreck all the time. he’s soft natured, but he’s not a pushover. he’s a protector, but he’s not a sidekick.
book purists are really upset that THIS isn’t on our tv screens once a week??? omfg i’m so glad we have walker and leah bc whatever tf this is makes me uncomfortable 😭
him and leah are acting their FACES OFF!!!! the percabeth chemistry is SO PALPABLE i know the producers said they’re already setting it up season one but I DIDNT EXPECT IT TO BE SO OBVIOUS
i made a tik tok about arachne and it’s going viral and now i’m so paranoid that someone from pjo will see it like you can’t convince me they’re not on greek mythology tik tok and they see EVERYTHINF
zeus was wild for casting apollo down from olympus. like bro he’s the god of light, music, poetry, archery, healing, prophecy, THE SUN!!! dudes plate is full!!!! who was covering his shift for him while he was on earth 😭
seeing that the show-only pjo fans wanna rush through percabeth is so annoying. not just bc the show ISNT a romance show, but also bc yall just don’t appreciate a slow burn romance no more it’s AGGRAVATING
Aryan Simhadri on his Thalia fan-casting in
#PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians
:
“As for Thalia... Me and Walker's good friend Momona Tamada, I feel like she'd make a pretty cool Thalia. She's got kind of that punk feel about--she's played characters like that before. And she's also
nothing just crying over the fact that hephaestus created a whole ride detailing his trauma of being cast out by his entire family to a song that says “what is love, baby don’t hurt me no more” i’m sick
i feel like the dual love for spiderman and percy jackson is so common and is it really just because we love a hero’s story about a normal kid from new york obtaining superhero powers, being raised by a woman, and falling badly for the first girl he sees??
it’s always been obvious that they are percy and annabeth but for whatever reason THIS episode solidified it in my brain bc that IS percy jackson and annabeth chase LOOK AT THEM!!! TELL ME YOU DONT SEE THE CHARACTERS YOUVE BEEN READING ABOUT FOR YEARS!! it’s in their soul 😭
if i see someone hating leo valdez im going to assume they’re trying too hard to be different or they’re gen alpha bc it seems all the og readers still love him 😭 so if you hate leo im gonna assume you’re the problem
apollo being white makes no sense to me. not even because im poc but his vibe just screams pretty boy poc i'm mad i gotta wait several more YEARS to see who it'll be
Walker Scobell talks about adapting the 3rd season of
#PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians
:
“I think adapting the third book [The Titan’s Curse] is going to be super interesting. It’s very different. Annabeth isn’t there this time, unfortunately, which is the only downside, but I think
maybe just the autism but am i the only person who can’t get a consistent read on annabeth parents?? at one point we hate her dad and step mom, then in ttc her dad and stepmom are cool, then in moa we learn how horrible they are to her, but she still keeps them around?? help
i remember listening to a greek mythology podcast a few years back and when they got to perseus saving andromeda with medusa’s head i was like….hollup ANdromeda??? ANnabeth…rick i see you
i made a tik tok about arachne and it’s going viral and now i’m so paranoid that someone from pjo will see it like you can’t convince me they’re not on greek mythology tik tok and they see EVERYTHINF
like 11 entire seconds of staring at her followed by him carefully running his fingers over her father’s ring which he knows is like her most valuable item??? bruh’s head was SPINNING
if there was ever a trials of apollo adaptation do you think there would be two different people cast for apollo and lester? or use the same actor and change their appearance?
also we’re really sleeping on hephaestus this episode. any other god would’ve zapped annabeth for talking back to him but he doesn’t like how ruthless his family is so he showed them grace EVERYONE CHEER FOR HEPHAESTUS
@thenessanetwork
yesssss thé duotagonist narrative that they both had the same anger and motives but took different paths which supports the idea that anyone can be a hero and anyone can be a villain
i kind of agree with pjotok that the pacing of the show is very whack. i know there has to be a reason for any changes made and i’m not mad at that. but every episode besides tunnel of love has felt rushed as hell and it keeps taking me out of it 😭
@leahspercabeth
“picture of blonde girl and black hair boy who both look like they were made in a lab by an alien trying to replicate humans standing in a field wearing a lot of denim”
and at the end of the day, rick gave it his personal seal of approval. so i have to assume however the series evolves away from the books is a direction he WANTED the series to go in. if he’s happy and the golden trio are happy, im just happy to watch every week
ares said olympians will push each other down a flight of stairs to get ahead and percy said the exact same thing about annabeth going on the quest and now annabeth realizes she doesn’t actually want to be like the olympians oh i’m gonna be sick
@bhh_stilinski
and it’s crazy because she has such “ruler” and take charge energy that i would say king for her but truly she could fit any of them because she’s just that girl. SHES A ONE WOMAN ARMY
it also makes it more fun to watch as someone who’s read the book hundreds of times. because i truly don’t know what to expect next!!! how each scene will be adapted and freshened up to suit modernity is a mystery to me and it keeps things exciting!!
