#... and I cant tell if its genuine or false positivity after years of begging for a faithful adaptation

To be fair 3/8 of episode is almost half way through so if the first half is okayish….welp

yeah that's my thought too - we've seen more than enough to understand how the writers/director are handling the book... which is just sanitizing the ever living hell out of it. So unless they pull something unexpected out of the bag in the second half (which I would love for them to), as of now we're set to receive a perfectly fine, fairly faithful adaptation that is just largely duller than its source story in most aspects. Again, the biggest shame to me is that the actors are just so good.

#I've lived through one shitty adaptation before I can manage through a blasé one #just a bummer more than anything #at least the movies are fun now #asks #pjo show crit #also I would have higher hopes for a more... higher energy action packed second season if people voiced their complaints #but the majority seem very content w/ the show? #... and I cant tell if its genuine or false positivity after years of begging for a faithful adaptation #idk im prob just too critical but oh well
