The Percy Jackson tv show: Audience treatment

First and foremost I like the show, and I’m well aware that I’m not the target audience anymore but it really feels like the creator’s don't trust their audience at all. 

They don’t seem to trust that the audience can understand what’s happening unless they are spoon fed everything. And yes the show is for kids, but I was 12 when I first read the book and I had no problem understanding what was happening despite not being told outright at times. 

Have kids today completely lost the ability to understand any media unless they are told what's happening? Just because it’s a kids show doesn’t mean there can’t be any tension. But for some reason they have entirely removed all the tension, and I have no idea if it’s because of Disney’s involvement or just because of Rick Riordan. But there is no tension in the show, everything is just being told to the audience. The trio aren’t allowed to be kids and fall into traps anymore, instead they immediately know everything, and it just makes it so boring. It’s like creators had a bullet list of things to add and just took the bare minimum and went that’s good enough.

One of the first you learn both in school as a writer, is the quote “ show not tell”. And yet the show is only doing the tell part. It was the most obvious at first during episode 2, for example when Chris says Luke is the greatest sword fighter in 100 years at camp, and yet we barely see him fight, except for a few seconds in Capture the Flag. I’m still disappointed they took away Percy’s first sword lesson because I just think that’s an important scene to have, in order to show why Percy can fight so well later in Capture the flag. 

I just wish they would show more things. For example Lotus hotel in the book, Percy notes how Annabeth plays an architect game, you could easily show something like that in the show, and make people understand oh Annabeth likes to build things.

I'm actually liking how they're handling Eloise's development in season 3. "I used to think it was just me" - she's realised there's more to the women/society around her and is making attempts to open up and expand her world, while staying true to her views. I look forward to seeing how they handle Cressida. "A woman is the greatest enemy of a woman" is one of my least fave tropes/stereotypes so expanding on why the villain is the way she is and exposing society for what it is (a battleground where women compete for financial security) is interesting. I thought Lord Debling looking for someone honest & true versus Cressida's frankness about the life she wants very interesting and I actually think they'd make a good couple with a little work. Anyways. No Theo to be seen and that is a tragedy but I will power through 😭😭😭

Oh, Genevieve. Did you have any idea what a couple days of work filming (ultimately deleted) scenes in Revenge of the Sith would eventually lead to?

(I don't think this post has made it here yet but if it has, I'll happily take it down)

Lord Jesus 🙌🏼

well blood and cheese might have been written filmed acted and directed badly enough to warrant calling in a wellness check for Ryan Condal, who has clearly experienced a TBI, but at least Alicent got to cum exactly twice in her miserable fucking life so really it’s 50/50
