Im so mad at the pjo for… existing tbh. The movies did not destroy the chances for a good faithful adaptation to be made one day, but the Disney show did. Disney had a good budget, great actors, and most importantly, an already established fanbase. A fanbase so loyal to Rick, that they refuse to admit that the show is JUST NOT GOOD. But again they are so loyal to it simply bc Rick’s association an approval is attached to it. I think the fandom would be more critical of it if Rick’s name was removed. And now even if another studio or company were to pick up the story, it would simply be dismissed by the fandom. Even if it was more loyal and true adaptation to the books. So tragic tbh.
#those kids were fantastic!! such a pity it was disney#i don't love netflix but i'd bet they would have adapted characters a tiny bit better#imagine if dreamworks could have pjo?#i get that not billionaire company's perfect but disney was the worst of the lot#and they proved it by destroying the story and misusing the goldmine that are those actors#pjo show crit
