My favorite thing about this week's episode of pjo is the epic boss battle music playing in the background when Percy was driving the car. The way the music makes it so a 12 year old driving a car and crashing into things has the same sense of danger as a fight scene, the triumphant music when Percy manages to make a turn without crashing, the way the music stopped the moment Percy ran into the wall. An excellent choice
Ok no Hermes saying “Do you know what that feels like? To be so close to someone you love, knowing neither of you has any choice but to keep hurting each other? I know you do” to Percy and then making him have a flashback to sitting in the back of a car in front what I’m assuming is a school looking sadder than a 10 year old has any right to be was absolutely CRIMINAL
Grover represented all us dreamers who are always zoned out but occasionally zone back in to self-deprecate and give weird expressions while our friends talk...your honor i love him
I mean people are allowed to critique the show. Especially when it’s so bland. Disney is a multi million dollar company, Rick was directly involved in this project, and yet so many changes were made that don’t seem to fit the characters or completely change their motivations.
And on a production level, things like character’s clothes and setting feel lifeless. Not to mention, watching scenes in complete darkness.
I was thinking about the “four pearls” situation and the payoff just hit me.
The difference is so significant because in the books there is already no hope. We know there are only three pearls and four people. But giving him the hope of saving his mom is a devastating blow because can you imagine how heartbreaking it’s going to be when Percy inevitably loses or breaks the fourth pearl? His reaction? Walker’s acting?
They basically just made it a lot worse for us, y’all 🤡.
