How do I say, without coming across as a jaded miserable little bitch who likes raining on everybody's parade, that the PJO Disney plus adaption is nostalgia bait, in the same way that their live action remakes are
#it'll probably be good
#it sounds like its gonna be a pretty faithful adaption
#im not denying that
#but
#20-30 something year old you ARE being pandered to by the Walt Disney Corporation
#its fine to be excited for it. just so long as we are all aware of whats happening
#also we gotta stop acting like mr riordan is some underdog in this situation
#hes written one of the most successful teen lit series of all time
#and in disney's current quirky girl phase of grasping hold of anything that already has a following
#of COURSE they snatched this shit up
#''Percy Jackson. A Disneyplus original.''
#do you have any idea just how much theyre salivating to have their name attached to this series?
#(tbf the books were owned by disney too. but a streaming service makes their link to the franchise all the more evident)
#anyway. maybe i sometimes get a little bitter when i think about all the original projects in production that were abruptly cancelled
#usually because of the current fear to take risks and put something new into the world
#and then i remember adaptions like are going ahead
#there is no risk associated the pjo series. the first few books are relatively squeaky clean for a teenage audience
#this is a comfortable direction for them to go in
#''but but but theres gay people in it'' hush. disney is not afraid of captilizing on the gay experience
#also im pretty sure the gay people dont show up until like. 8 books in
#thats 8 seasons
#can you imagine
#''guys we need to keep giving this show our support so we can eventually get solanjello (or whatever its called)''
#ooooh theyre quite evil. very interesting
#even tho like. dont worry you'll get your gay people eventually. you'll get all your book adaptions. you'll get all those seasons.
#this franchise is disneys new pet
#you can smell it
#the hype. the cast announcements. the promotion
#LIN MANUEL MIRANDA???
#theyre going to squeeze every last drop of engagement they can get out of it
