#Great book bad movie

[purpleshadow-star]

So I went to an early screening for the first two episodes of the Percy Jackson show yesterday (Saturday), and let me just say, it is 100% the adaptation we deserve. It was amazing. Once it ended, I wanted more.

The characterizations were amazing, any changes there were made sense and made the situation more realistic and added tension, the story was straight from the book, it was just amazing.

I went with my mom and she, who doesn't know the books, really enjoyed it. I asked her how she liked it (literary just the first two episodes) compared to Harry Potter (which i had her watch a few years back), and she said there was no contest. She likes the pjo show much more. She said it was engaging and even had her wanting the next episode once it was done.

Everyone needs to watch this show. It was amazing. It lives up to the hype. We need to make sure it gets greenlit for season 2.

#oc it's not perfect #there is one (1) critique i have but tbh it's not a super big deal and could very well be rectified in future episodes #but other than that it was absolutely amazing #the whole theater was clapping at iconic moments and it was a great experience too #once we got home i made my mom rewatch the lightning theif movie with the new context so that she could see what weve had to live with #she hated it lol and she doesnt even know the amount of inaccuracies bc she hasnt read the book #she said it's just a bad movie in general and she's right lol #anyway the show was AMAZING everyone make sure to watch it as it comes out so that they greenlight S2 #riordanverse #rick riordan #percy jackson show #percy jackson tv series #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #pjo series #pjo show #percy jackson disney+ #pjo disney+ #pjo #no pjo spoilers

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️ #i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭 #i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!! #also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀 #and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

you’re so art deco out on the floor shining like gun metal cold and unsure baby you’re so ghetto you’re looking to score when they all say ‘hello’ you try to ignore them cause you want more, why? you want more, why?

when ppl get too caught up in the accuracy of situations in fanfiction or if things are super realistic or as they should/would be in real life etc etc im like. my tumblr user in christ. it's fanfiction.

#ff writers don't get paid to put hollywood level research into their stories lol #also keep in mind ff writers don't have professional editors either #ALSO i've read a lot of published books and watched massive scale high budget production tv shows/movies that have put way less #effort into researching n making sure things are cohesive n legit compared to some fanfics i've read #js thinking ab a m00tie who had an anon come for her for something like this n i'm still pissed ab it #just enjoy the fic you're getting to read for free #like obv i think realism makes for a great story and is part of what good writing entails #but?? it's ok to bend the rules in some places?? it's a STORY #that's like getting pissed at a fantasy book for having dragons cuz they don't exist irl #just say u have a bad imagination n go #the author's pen is the will of the world in the story perioddd #either accept them or dont. but don't make fun of or criticize authors if you're not fuckin w it when ur just sittin behind a keyboard #also sometimes i just wanna read stories that don't remind me of the harsh truths of reality lmfao like get outtaaa heeerreee #just writer things

Characters that should’ve been in the Loki show but weren’t (fuck everything):

-Amora

-Lorelei

-Theo Bell

-Sigurd

-Verity Willis

-David Alleyne

-Leah of Hel

-Drrf

-Frosti

-any of the Warriors Three

-any frost giants at all

#like I can’t stress enough how #THESE characters would’ve made for great storytelling and growth #these are characters that in comics or tie in books or other movies HAVE greatly developed Loki’s character #they’re all so interesting and have so much potential of their own #and they would tie in to the greater mcu so well!!! #one of them had a hand in founding the precursor to SHIELD #one of them is a young avenger #and the others all have the potential to be in future projects #I’m just- #!!!! #I wanted to see at least one of them so bad! #I knew a lot of them were long shots bc comics #but hell atleast the w3 and some jotuns my GOD #marvel hates me specifically #Sigurd #lorelei #amora #loki #david alleyne #Theo bell #verity Willis #leah of hel #drrf #frosti #warriors three #jotuns #mcu jotuns #loki series #loki series critical #anti sylvie

Started the 2nd LotR book, and Legolas feels so much more elvish than in the movies. He's in this weird state where he feels both familiar and otherworldly, which I didn't really get from the movies. I always liked him, but now I vibe with his character even more.

#lotr #legolas #it's one thing for the movies to say elves don't sleep #another to read that they can fall in their meditative state even while running and rest that way #or the lembas' effects and the run the aragon-legolas-gimli trio did hunting the orcs #the book makes it so much more apparent what's happening #i'm glad i decided to actually read the books #they're not turning me into a superfan or anything but i can see much more clearly why they are held in such high regard #also i like tolkien's way of writing #alsox2 i'm not saying the movies are bad #they're absolutely great #just a different medium

[crsentfairy]

i am once again begging you all to have some fucking whimsy!!! not every single thing has to be a subject to think pieces especially when said subject has obvious and clear fantastical elements!!!!

#crsent.txt #once again fell victim to the Bad Take Tumblr Users #''fantasy/royalty books are great! but we shouldn't be talking ab kings and queens! :('' is critical thinking in the room with us right now #i will go to the movies. i will buy tickets to see a Very Scary Movie. i leave the theatre upset because the movie was Scary. #<- do you not see how you niggas sound?

Daily reminder that Severus Snape isn’t a good person and Molly Weasley isn’t a good parent

#did they do good things? sure #but does that make them good? absolutely not #(ha me being far more realistic about fiction characters than the adults in my family ayeee) #there’s so much they’ve done wrong and continue to do wrong and it’s ignored because they were some sort of saviors to the boy who lived #(I was gonna say boy wonder and was like wait no wrong fandom whatoh) #and this is absolutely on jk rowling because she’s let this happen #she’s let people idolize these people who are genuinely terrible #and I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to like these characters #but you have to realize when a character isn’t good despite how they are portrayed at first glance #I’ll stop now before I start ranting about how jk rowling actually isn’t that great of an author once you really look #whatoh back at it again #tw hp fandom #molly weasley #severus snape #anti molly weasley #anti severus snape #flashback to my old post where I said movie them is way better than book them #IM RIGHT ABOUT THAT FACT AND YALL #KNOW IT

[nat-20s]

God I just fucking. LOVE science fiction so much

#sorry horror and fantasy you are great seasonings to the best genre: sci-fi #ooooo i wish there was more of a sci-fi movie and books and TV shows community so so bad

A summary of my feelings about 2001: A Space Odyssey

#honestly it was so slow #not great as a movie but GENIUS as a piece of art #the cinematography? chef's kiss. beautiful #the sound design is so good #but also it hurt my ears real bad #HAL is absolutely the most interesting part of it to me #i don't care about the beginning and ending sections of the story at all lol #rotating him in my mind #2001 a space odyssey #2001 aso #hal 9000 #2/5/24 edit: this also applies to the book oops

Pizza pizza

#this is my second time trying to post this cuz the quality was crap #if it happens again I’m not gonna try and fix it 😭😭 #fnaf au where it’s more like cec/rae #I based these off the rae/battington designs bc they’re just better than the canon looks for them sorry #Freddy is like a mix of fatz geronimo and teddy ruxpin #chica is obviously the chef/baker of the group and I wanted to make her bob into an apron instead but I didn’t feel like doing full bodies #for like any of these #foxy is iconic so I didn’t change his design much but I incorporated aspects from different designs-like the beard from squimpus #face from battington and added khol under his eyes bc it felt appropriate #and I added fetch from the books to the main gang bc idk it felt like smth needed to be there and the dog is cute #he’s at the prize counter and gives out prizes and Guards against theft and he’s just a little baby #can’t decide if i want to keep the name fetch or use sparky instead bc sparky was iconic AND ALSO IN THE FUCKING MOVIE???? HELLO??? #this is from my sketchbook so it doesn’t look great and I’ll get around to doing full bodies eventually #im kinda scared to tag this as fnaf #rubensdoodads #okay back to the cec/rae grind #Bonnie is a failed magician and does skits like Rolfe/Klunk does my bad #fnaf

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-

My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.

We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.

#Wish #Queen Amaya #I assume I'm going to get hate for this but like #I know it's not store bought and you have to still make it yourself but also #I'm kind of just tired of seeing a lot of people sh*tting on Wish because it's not the concept art #And I'm kind of over here like how about we love it recognize it has flaws and THEN try to make something new without bashing the OG? #I just love Amaya and she definitely deserves more #but her good character is so interesting and complex #she still knows how to have fun. She still can be sassy or bite. #Like she's still Magnifico's perfect partner you know? and Magnifico isn't perfect? #A truly pure person wouldn't click with Magnifico the way Amaya does...? #I would rather build on Amaya's character than say she can only be good and boring or a villain? #Amaya is so smart yall. I know you can't see it all just on the movie but like she's read every magic book in Magnifico's library #THOUSANDS OF BOOKS. #And knows basic protection spells #She's a devoted leader. #Like. #Idk #She both loves her husband and recognizes that she has to go against him. #She doesn't /turn/ on him. She addresses his flaws and tells him that it's not okay? #She still jokes with him even though she has to put him in time out. She's complex and strong and wise and kind. #And I just hate seeing so many people so quick to just say 'the concept art was better' when like... the idea might be more appealing to yo #But I hate the level of cynicism and pretentiousness I see of people saying their personal ideas of what Wish should be- #-Is better than the piece of media they claim to care about? #Like their personal vision of Wish based exclusively off the concept art is somehow intellectually superior? #And I'm not saying stop doing your rewrites or AU's or anything! Like there's definitely beautiful creativity happening! #I just hate seeing people so negative and like honestly mean. It hurts my heart to see everyone calling Wish garbage? #It's not great but I really really dont think it's as bad as everyone is saying. Like its no like Oppenheimer but it's a children's movie.. #Like I personally love the Teens and Amaya #And everyone saying they stink makes me sad... Because they're just great characters?

what if i made a patreon next year…

#kofi is great but it’s mostly where commissions go if that makes sense #but patreon is more for the in between stuff #plus i kinda wanna get over myself and start talking on youtube about things #cuz it’s fun #mostly #like money would be cool even a lil but but i’m mostly like #i wanna do stuff that scares me cuz what’s the point i got one life #and i desperately want to talk about silly old books and bad movies #and also just crazy history shit #and maybe give people access to the writing early #maybe talk about writing stuff as well and my process #i have no authority but i want fun and a lil dollar to chip in is always nice #maybe if i can ever figure out how to set up recording in video games i can stream? #idk i just want to have Fun perhaps #instead of spending every day miserable LMAO #talking

oh yeah saw blue beetle last night and one million thumbs up. going into having heard it’s very tokusatsu and comic booky made it one million times better. goofy and stupid in fun ways. i’m so glad we’ve looped back around to comic book movies being like comic books: confusing chronologically and catered to fans willing to put up with wildly specific nonsense. also heck of a great job making a movie about gentrification and colonization out of the chaos of blue beetle lore and corporate blandification i genuinely had fun

#like it’s not the BEST done story about gentrification and colonization. but it’s a very interesting attempt at doing one in the dc universe #also ADORED how they did ted’s old tech i love love love that it was chronologically accurate and cheesy in the best way #of COURSE his tech is outdated he was a superhero TWENTY-THIRTY YEARS AGO!! #when mcu stuff went back in time they just retconned it to be cool futuristic sci-fi stuff too. i ADORE the idea that a) there WERE #superheroes in the last and b) time still passes! them being there shaped the world and influences the superheroes we have now!! #and SO glad to see DC finally capitalizing on their legacy heroes <- the one thing that stands them out from marvel #yeah this was a mediocre movie to the average fan. i think comic book movies should be. fuck blockbuster everyone movies #cbms should be wildly specific and about characters no one’s ever heard of to tell fun stories with them #also love the minimal level of integration with the rest of the dc movie verse #jaime went to gotham university and there was that one name drop of bruce wayne in an ad but SO happy no obnoxious cameos. #this is just another corner of the universe! it’s a coherent WORLD but that doesn’t mean the same individuals need to show up everywhere. #loved it. i know it’s not a great movie but i had so much fun from the moment i saw the intro talking about actual lore #it was 100x improved by what i already knew about jaime reyes and i know that’s a bad thing for non-aware viewers but fuck it. stop catering #to the audience that refuses to read comic books or put up with their tropes. cater to the people who are already here and love it #thank youuuuuuuuuuuu <3 also give people from the cultures superheroes represent more money to tell those superheroes stories . it’s great

I've said it a thousand times, and I'll say it again: disney really dropped the ball by not making pjo into an animated series

#i've been dreaming about pjo animated series since i read the book series ages ago #it would be perfect but oh well #for the sake of the fans i really hope that the series will turn out great #yall deserve it after that abomination of a movie adaptation #but as a filthy casual i was not impressed with the trailer much #it wasn't bad but i wouldn't think of it twice if i was not somewhat familiar with the books you know? #percy jackson

So I just watched the Vampire Academy movie after watching the show and not reading the books. And, excuse me, what was that? They're from the same source material? How. I have so many questions. Like why. And which is closer to the books? And also, how did that movie get made? And why would they do that to Rose and Dimitri?

#vampire academy #vampire academy peacock #vampire academy movie #vampire academy books #tv show #tv #movie #bad movie #great tv show #hopefully the books are good #because what was that movie
