✨my personal opinions✨

notice how i didn’t say “unpopular” because some of these are popular and i wanted to speak on behalf of most people in this fandom for where these opinions came from, to those acting like they’re qUiRky by hating on something :)

1. percy is NOT overrated and NOT underrated, he’s perfectly fine where he is. i’ve seen multiple of you out there saying percy is overrated, but HE IS THE REASON WHY YOU LIKE PJO BETTER THAN HOO AND TOA - but yea fellow percy stans stop attacking people when they say their opinions- (ngl im kind of a hypocrite because i take these things PERSONALLYYY but i just don’t say them, keep mean words to yourself y’all)

2. octavian deserves each and every hate comment. are we just gonna ignore that he was a power hungry, emotionless dude who blackmailed hazel with some very sensitive topics?? sis go straight to the field of punishment, idc idc he’s just a little better than luke, no redemption arc possible

3. luke was NOT a hero. he deserves to go rot in tartarus for all i care- to all you (hopefully) nonexistent annal*ke shippers: bring me some bleach, i really need some

4. toa is overhated. apollo was annoying asf in the first book and i haven’t even read ToN but i’m looking for some character development- JASON DIDN’T DIE FOR NOTHING I HOPE-

5. jason is not bland, the fandom collectively just erased his entire backstory like hon i- also please stop comparing him and percy, jason is a different character :)

6. reyna joining the hunters was not thatttt ooc, she just pulled a bianca, but she will definitely leave sometime soon

7. theyna is a cute concept but PLEASE RESPECT THEIR SEXUALITIES STOP SHIPPING THEM THANKS

8. frazel is not that bad but the age gap was kinda sketch, they also aren’t sweet little cinammon rolls and they’re both super powerful and praetor goals so

9. all the gods are assholes except hephaestus and hestia. there, i said it.

10. i still hate perachel. they aren’t cute at all and they would never have lasted- y’all hating on aang (A 12 YEAR OLD AT THE TIME) for kissing katara without her consent while RACHEL LITERALLY DID THE SAME THING

11. pernico is a bit better but the fanart is making me barf- istg nico literally said he didn’t like percy anymore and they don’t even like each other that much

12. leo was an asshole to frank while frank was a justified asshole to leo.

13. i really don’t like liper preyna and lazel, they’re very weird and platonic

14. jeyna had potential, someone has to write a fic from reyna’s pov about jiper, lemme cry my eyes out

15. piper is soo overhated, did she not kill enough goddesses for you-

16. jiper is kinda sus because hera literally made it but they’re such a power couple. i applaud rick for the breakup tho (NOT JASON’S DEATH), that was super realistic and piper being an aphrodite kid really added to the meaning

17. SoN and the og trio is underrated!!

18. the “not my type” joke is the most bland and annoying joke in the history of jokes- percy just thought that nico hated him for the longest time and nico came out to them with that at the same time so

19. rachel is overhated and underrated

20. annabeth was a justified bitch and she’s my queen- y’all are attacking her for her abandonment issues from luke (f u btw) and her “toxicity” against rachel, i thought it was hilarious. i haven’t read the entire hp series but she’s better representation for girls so far compared to hermione!

21. percabeth is the best developed couple i’ve ever seen and they are so cute like CHILLS MY DUDE WITH THE FANFICS AND FANART- they aren’t too unrealistic tho, they went through their ups and downs. toxic is a whole different thing, they were never really toxic

22. i don’t really like a lot of the percabeth au fanfics like mine atm since they’re kinda boring at times but i still read them because i like seeing how people weave in character traits and events- you can literally predict the plot (rachel and luke are love interests, one of them gets hurt and yadayadayada) but there’s some plot twist which is always interesting tho

23. caleo isn’t toxic, cal just doesn’t have any social skills from being sTRANDED ON AN ISLAND FOR ETERNITY- it shouldn’t have existed since i want leo to be single (sorry) but it was good for their characters ig

24. thalia and percy’s fight was really good.

25. percy, leo, and nico aren’t really good friends, they wanted to strangle each other a lot. remember that percy’s bestie is grover.

26. drew was annoying. as an asian girl who could only cosplay her for my life, stop asking for a redemption arc, i like the type of people she represents

27. chiron is underrated

28. i loved kane chronicles! the last book was not as good but red pyramid was one of my favs. zarter is adorablee and zia can step on me and i would say thank you. i really liked sanubis but once they merged i was like uh wtf 👁👄👁

29. magnus chase was kinda boring at times- the last book with magnus’ speech that defeated loki was kinda cringe but i really liked hearthstone and blitz. fierrochase is also one of my favs, rick handled alex pretty well

30. sally and leo are a bit overrated- SORRY DON’T ATTACK ME I LOVE THEM BUT THEY ARE TOO LIKED IN THIS FANDOM

31. i don’t think any demigod is more powerful than another. they all have really strong powers but each of them has a lot of negatives WHICH IS WHY THEY’RE PERFECT THE WAY THEY ARE. also, in general, stop asking for so many redemption arcs, i love redemption arcs but some characters must stay flawed and bad. if you want a good one, zuko from atla’s is perfection

32. my favorite characters are percy, annabeth, sadie, and magnus. i like other characters too, but there are so many characters i like to the point where i forget about them so this is all i remember (i need to reread LMFAO-)

33. this might be controversial but i really don’t like any of the noncanon ships in any fandom? like unless the canon ships are that horrible, i do not ship any noncanon ships. you have a perfectly fine canon ship there with a lot of content but you have to go out of your way to ship two other characters?? chile 😔🤚

34. last but not least, MR. RICK RIORDAN IS NOT A GOD. stop cancelling him for the smallest of things, he’s not perfect like the rest of us and stop getting mad at his representation, be happy he has it in the first place.

thank you for listening to my TEDtalk. feel free to comment your opinions but please do not attack me, as i am a very sensitive person 🌚

So... Thoughts on the Marvel Phase 4, specifically Loki's movie?

Ummm, okay, I’ll be honest, I didn’t keep track of a lot of what was happening at comic con both because I was busy with life stuff and also?

I hated Endgame. I know a lot of people didn’t, but I personally really hated the way Endgame wrapped up Thanos’ story arc and closed out the first ten years of the MCU. I hated Tony’s death. I hated Cap’s choices. I hated how everyone seemed to be either slightly or severely out of character save for a few people ( like Clint and Nebula in my personal point of view ). I hated the approach they took to time travel. It seemed like they wanted to be interesting and different rather than just? Stick to time travel as we know it, but in doing so, they made it more convoluted than it needed to be. I hated that they forced Tony to endure seeing his dad again and while it was nice to see him get closure, they were definitely forcing a narrative that Howard wasn’t as bad as Tony made him out to be and honestly? No. Marvel–MCU especially–loves to give us shitty and abusive parents, fathers especially, and then backpedal on them actually being all that bad ( looking at you, Odin, looking at you ). I hated that they brought back so many heroes and we got to see all of them step out for the final battle except for a select few, like Loki, Heimdall, and Vision. I understand Natasha death having to be permanent because she gave her life for the Soul Gem and that couldn’t be undone, but everyone else? Dying pre-snap or not? The Infinity Stones, when wielded together, can do just about anything. Bringing back those few characters wouldn’t have been difficult.

After watching Loki literally die to his abuser in Infinity War in a way that made no sense? I am so sorry, but Loki, an extremely capable and intelligent magic user, who is the only person who does not work for Thanos and is not related to Thanos that actually knows anything about him. Loki would not attack him with a single dagger, expect that to work, and then die from being choked out. Loki has sustained much worse injuries in MCU canon and comic canon that were unable to kill him. Thanos choking him? Is a stupid way to die, I’m sorry. The entire vibe resonated that his death was fake ( again ) and that he had some sort of plan that would unfold once he got away, but that didn’t happen and I’m extremely bitter about how they handled Loki in general. So to not see him come back in Endgame? When basically everyone else got to have their moment of vengeance and glory and happiness of reuniting with their friends and family? And Loki did not get that because he was so close to a happy ending of his own only to be killed off by his literal abuser? Just as Gamora was killed by her abuser?

I wasn’t okay with Endgame for the story elements, for the character development, and for how they handled my favorite character.

So, because I was so unhappy with Endgame, my enthusiasm for the MCU has died down a little as a whole? I don’t intend to stop watching the films or anything like that but I do feel less invested. I will say, from what I’ve seen of the Comic Con panels, I think there are some interesting ideas coming in Phase 4. Lots of cool television shows. I’m actually pretty excited to see the What If series and the Hawkeye one as well. They seem to be expanding the universe even more which can be both a good and bad thing in my opinion. I feel like MCU’s quality as a whole did start to dwindle when they started shoving more and more characters down our throats and while I want to see all these people and new ideas, I do question how well Marvel Studios can handle that, if that makes sense?

I also feel like they still haven’t given some existing characters enough screen time or development. They’re finally doing a Black Widow movie after she died. They really don’t do anything with Bruce and Hulk outside of Avengers movies and that one time they showed up in Thor. If they’re gonna focus on OG characters who are still around and new characters, they should focus on all the OG characters, you know what I mean?

Not really sure how I feel about Thor Love and Thunder. It’s got returning characters that I am so excited about ( like Valkyrie ), but I’m not really sure I’m entirely enthusiastic about Jane taking up the mantle of Thor. I know it happened in the comics. I genuinely understand her comic story arc of becoming Thor, but I don’t really think that it fits well into MCU, especially with how little Jane actually played a part after the first two Thor movies. Most people didn’t resonate well with Jane and that’s partly due to bad scripts and partly due to her being a character that seemed so obsessed with Thor, she’s not a character that can stand on her own two feet? And her taking up the mantle of Thor kind of still relies on her being directly connected to Thor, so? I have mixed feelings about it. I would have rather seen them focus entirely on Valkyrie.

That said, I do have hopes that they can pull it off, but I’m not convinced yet.

And if Loki doesn’t make a reappearance and show up I’m honestly not sure how I’m going to handle that. People go to see Thor movies for Loki. Not everyone, of course, but a massive amount of people do, myself included, so without Loki, I don’t know how well I will personally take to the film.

The Loki series–I believe it’s a series, not a movie–is something I’m? Interested in but also not holding my breath for. I want to see Loki get more screen time and more development. I want the MCU to explore Loki’s backstory more. I want to see Loki’s pain and trauma, but I also want to see the good aspects of their life too. I want them to not gloss over Loki being genderfluid anymore. I want to see them bring in elements of lady Loki and Loki’s seriously impressive magic ( I am so sorry but MCU robbed us of everything Loki can do and didn’t even try. I want them to fix that shit ).

At the same time, the series is supposed to pick up after Endgame, where Loki managed to run off with the Tesseract during Tony, Scott, and Cap’s attempt to get the Tesseract and the Scepter.

I am not terribly happy with this as they reinforced the idea at Comic Con that the series will at the very least start out with Loki as the “villain” he was in The Avengers. They are basically undoing all of Loki’s character development over the span of years to boil him back down to a villain again. And a villain who was a villain because he was working for and under the influence of Thanos, not because he went to Earth of his own free will.

Plus, the Loki they’re going to be discussing in the show is technically an alternate timeline Loki, which? Is a cool concept, but at the same time, not the character we’ve all invested our time and energy into caring about.

I do genuinely want the show to be good. I’m tentatively excited for it, but the MCU’s handling of Loki over the last couple of years has me worried. They’ve treated him like an absolute idiot in Ragnarök, they also took characters that are canonly Loki’s children in both Norse mythology and the comics and completely ripped Loki out of their backstory all together which I really hated, treated him like a throwaway character in Infinity War, and let his abuser murder him right before he had a chance to find true peace. They have not been kind to Loki’s character. They have not respected Loki’s character. Their handling of Loki in his last couple of appearances have been abysmal and I’m concerned for the series as much as I am excited and praying for it being good.

I do love Tom Hiddleston a lot and I am so happy to know he’s coming back to play Loki for the series. For a while, there was speculation that he would be completely replaced for the show. I know he’ll do the best that he can with the material and even if the show ends up not being great in my opinion, I’m still looking forward to seeing Tom get more Marvel love and expansion.

So… yeah? Marvel Phase 4 has a lot of interesting content that may be amazing and I hope that it is, but because–in my opinion–MCU’s quality has definitely been in a steady decline since Age of Ultron with a few good exceptions here and there like Antman 1 and 2, I’m speculative of if it will actually be good or not. Part of me almost wants a break from MCU before they cram so much more content down my throat, you know what I mean?

Plus, an MCU without Tony Stark feels… wrong to me, so that’s a personal hiccup I’m gonna have to get over.
