Percy’s warning to fellow half-bloods in the audience, across different mediums.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (2005) The Lighting Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical (2017) Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series Teaser (2023)

#I have been thinking about making this for SO long #but this semester sucked #anyway I love it when adaptations play to their strengths and make changes to fit the medium #and these little differences tingle my brain a little bit #I didn’t want to check if the movies had something similar because I am Tired and the show and movie version would be pretty similar #anyway #the musical line always gets me #‘better get headed to the exits now’ is such a good adaptation of the ‘close this book idea’ #and I know I could’ve just done one of the excerpts from the book but I like both #and I didn’t want to have the paragraph in between to make it just like. a block of text. #percy jackson #pjo #pjo disney+ #pjo Disney #walker scobell #pjo show #percy jackon and the olympians #web weaving #riordanverse

“Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus” by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1818) // Frankenstein from the Royal Ballet (2016) // National Theatre Live: Frankenstein (2011) // Frankenstein: The Metal Opera (2014) // Frankenstein (TV Miniseries 2004) // Creature (TV Miniseries 2023)

Grief of the Creature across various adaptations

#I’m sorry I’m not done with this brainriot yet 🥺 #Frankenstein #I like it when the Creature embraces Victor in the adaptations even though he doesn’t in the book #it feels right #he doesn’t do it in the vimeo musical or the 1994 film adaptation #he kinda does in the Puppet Opera but it’s hard to see on a screenshot

Thinking about how Starkid’s raised nearly half a million dollars for Cinderella’s Castle simply by being transparent about where their money goes, being nice to their fan base, hiring unproblematic, talented people, and creating good, original art

#what I’m saying is the people crave original musicals #I know Cinderella’s Castle is technically a retelling buts it’s a retelling of the like old fairytales #it’s not like a movie adaption or a Disney remake #they’ve just passion for their art #and they also have beautiful women #go give starkid your money #starkid #team starkid #cinderellas castle starkid #cinderellas castle #musical theatre

one of the many things i love about mean girls (2004) is that aaron samuels, who's meant to be the main love interest or whatever, could be replaced by a man-shaped vase and nothing would change. he is treated the same way that women are treated in male-led films with male audiences. his role in the story is entirely passive. he's not meant to do anything but stand there, and he's not even supposed to be the pinnacle of attractiveness or anything. he is the most Just A Guy to ever exist. he ken-ed before ken could ken. this movie doesn't pass the reverse bechdel test or the reverse sexy lamp test and it was iconic for that!

I think there's something beautifully poetic about this new trend of Greek-myth themed musicals.

The Lightning Thief musical, Hadestown, Stray Gods, Epic---all of these stories are being told at least in part through song, echoing the fact that every single myth that we know was originally told through song. We're essentially reprising the tradition thousands of years down the line, and that's honestly beautiful.

really though why would they cut doa records and make the waterbed store the entrance to the underworld? it should've been the other way around imo. like i remember rick admitting the movie making the hollywood sign the entrance to the underworld was a cool idea, and that worked bc it functioned similarly to the book—a record studio, hollywood, either way it's the same wink wink commentary on fame and glamour actually being a gateway to hell ('selling your soul to the devil'). sure it's cliche but at least there's a thought pattern you can follow there. that was a big part of the fun of the books, seeing the ways the real world and the mythological world blended, and in the show we're losing that. the entrance to the underworld is a goddamn waterbed store because...? no good reason.

#once again tlt musical you are everything to me #famous dead musicians cameoing bc it's a record studio and the entrance to the underworld? genius #why did the musical understand rick's humour better than he does #pjo show crit #pjo tv crit #pjo #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo show #pjo series #pjo adaptation #percy jackson show

Today I'm thinking about how playing Frodo Baggins is a thankless job in much the same way Frodo actually carrying the Ring was.

Like, when people talk about performances in LOTR adaptations, they talk about Sam, they talk about Gollum, they talk about Gandalf and Galadriel. All these characters that have iconic lines and big flashy moments of greatness or bravery or twistedness that let the actor show off. Frodo doesn't have any of those. What Frodo does have is the arguably harder job of making something external that is almost entirely internal, and, in most adaptations, having the most to do, just from a time-on-stage/screen/microphone perspective. But this never seems to get acknowledged and that's always kinda weird/interesting to me. I suppose people just respond to the big heroic/heartwarming/menacing moments, and not so much to littler moments of the same kinds. In the musical, in one of the dialogue breaks in "Now And For Always", Frodo says to Sam "It's not me they'll remember, you know". And that's funny because even if Sam tries to fight that in-universe with the finishing of The Red Book, it consistently ends up being true in a meta sense.

Anyway I suppose what I'm saying is appreciate Christopher Guard, Sir Ian Holm, Elijah Wood, James Loye, James Byng, and Louis Maskell or die by my blade.

#lotr #lotr musical #frodo baggins #thank you and heyday #i tried to get in as many Frodos as i could think of but i know i missed some #hit me up with Frodos from non-English-language adaptations that deserve love #also can we talk about how funny it is that both actors who played Frodo in the Drury Lane production of the musical were named James? #hehehe #for frodo

I just love it when death note adaptations get meta. When they point out that this story has already been told before. Deep down, L and Light know they're bound to their roles, that they've done this all before, and that this story can only and will only ever go one way for them.

#death note #death note musical #death note drama #death note jdrama #light yagami #L lawliet #in the musical it works as light 'writing' their game to an end while also meaning their story already has a pre-written end #I know this is mostly the musical but “this is the only way we could have met” was such an atom bomb of a line from the jdrama #if they do this in any other adaptation too please let me know #I've watched a bunch of them but the musical and jdrama are my favorites so they're on my mind all the time I might be biased #musical and jdrama supremacy sorry (not really sorry)
