Your Reminder That The Percy Jackson Movies Are DREADFUL

Рет қаралды 116,156

7 ай бұрын

I'm in for it now, the Percy Jackson movies, what were they thinking? So the Percy Jackson Disney plus series is coming out, at time of writing it hasn't come out just yet. But I actually have some faith that it will be good. Not everything I've seen has left me frothing at the mouth, but I haven't seen any major red flags, and Rick Riordan is heavily involved creatively, which is good. But no matter the quality of it, there's at least a guarantee that it will be better than the two movies that 20th century Fox made.

One thing you have to consider when critiquing the books is that Riordan wrote The Lightning Theif as a bedtime story, to help teach Greek mythology to his son who had dyslexia and ADHD. He was never considering becomjng a novelist until his friend read the story and recommended publication. So you have to excuse a lot of the silliness that you find in the books. And besides, I find a lot of it funny and entertaining.

What's funny is that if they wanted to make a new Harry Potter then how could they fail to notice the ages Harry Potter fans were? They were kids and were drawn by the MC being a kid and growing up alongside him. Aging them up like they did just automatically removed drawing in the same kind of audience from the get go. Just that fact alone is what gives the Disney+ show a much higher chance of success.

It is pretty funny in hindsight how you had all these adaptations of book series aimed at a younger audience made in order to cash-in with the success of Harry Potter and most of them clearly wanted to make a whole series out of it but mixed to poor criticial and financial success put the kibosh on that... and then you have The Spiderwick Chronicles which instead opted to adapt the whole 5-book series into one movie just to make sure they could make one movie and nothing more just in case it wasn't a success.

@Ahmenthi 7 ай бұрын

I didn't read Percy Jackson or watch the movies, but the set-up has potential and I'd love it if fans could get worthwhile adaptations. And I'm assuming a lot of questionable low-quality elements are due to the uncertainty of this franchise taking off as a movie series, and would improve with each sequel. Maybe the new series will be an improvement and include the missing set pieces. I hope it is, because fans deserve it. But I don't think Hollywood is in proper shape to do that for anything. Not until they prioritize the writing, acting, and direction over fishing for ESG points, and that's more of an issue that's studio-by-studio because some are so much worse than others.

Honestly, I don’t mind the pop culture references. Sure, they date the books, and someone who first reads them 10 years later may not get them, but teenagers do use them when they talk, quite a bit even (memes certainly helped with that, and let’s be honest, in ten years, who’s gonna get memes about Will Smith’s slapping performance at the Oscars or Nickelback jokes?). It helps to make them feel a bit more like their age, even if it may not be reflective of a teenager of today.

After reading the first book, I just cannot get over the fact that they decided to merge Annabeth and Clarisse of all characters in the first movie. She basically just acts like Clarisse and takes her role for the first 1/3 of the movie, then shifts to Annabeth for the last 2/3 but way less likeable. It only gets worse in Sea of Monsters when they actually introduce Clarisse who is, again, nothing like her book counterpart.

I was excited thinking its going to be faithful, then they revealed the casting which is clearly not faithful. For instance look at Clarisse's actor she's 5'5 when Clarisse is supposed to be a big, muscular girl who is scary. Like surely there were other actors who were over 5'5. Or Annabeth who is clearly a blonde, descended from Swedish kings and her having blonde hair was an insecurity later on. She also helped subvert the dumb blonde trope. I know they can't get perfect actors such as Daniel Radcliffe not having green eyes but they at least tried to make him book accurate with contact lenses but he was allergic. None of these actors are even trying to remotely look like the books, they could have dyed Percy's actors hair or at least put a realistic wig on.

@@Markus2E5I6 The fact they couldn't find a blonde actress for Annabeth in two adaptation attempts is as funny as it is disappointing. Subverting the dumb blonde trope is such an important part of her as a person, but keeps being brushed aside.

actually the right pronunciation for Delphi is the one at minute 34:10, it's a greek word, but every language translates and/or pronunce words in their way (like the right pronunciation for Zeus is not the english one but it's right in english) so who am I to be the boring know-it-all of the situation

I can not agree with you on your Grover take. He's shy and unsure of himself because of past failures(which they didn't even mention in the first movie) and learns to be more confident through the books. They might as well have given him a different name, that was not Grover.

I don't think my complaints with his character and the points you brought up are mutually exclusive.

@TBP sure that's fair, they aren't. But they didn't even attempt to show any of that in his motivations.

The second one, I don't mind people trashing because I was as confused as you. But the first one is good. Its funny that in order for a product based on a book it has to be 1-1 just on screen. When I'll just point you to Invincible, that is actively changing what happened in the comics.

@lukeamoakoh5333 6 ай бұрын

I agree with you that an on-screen adaptation doesn't have to be 1:1 to be a good product. But while TV Invincible does have differences from the source material, the changes are meant to improve upon the story and the show is still very faithful to the comic. The Lightning Thief movie leaves out so much and there are so many changes that the plot is effectively made worse. It just comes across as Fox not actually respecting the source material when they actively didn't listen to the suggestions that Rick Riordan made for the script to be better.
