Finally resumed watching the Percy Jackson series and honestly, I should've stayed with the books..................
Not that's a bad adaptation, not at all, at all. But it's just that. One hell of an adaptation. They've adapted the heck out of it. So adapted somethings don't even make sense.
Some dialogues are stirring the pot for me. Wth is the consesus song? WhY does Alecto die by becoming a garden statue of auntie M's? Annabeth puts her cap on Medusa? PERCY SIMPLY TELLS EVERYONE THE ENDING OF THE PROPHECY BEFORE THEY EVEN LEAVE NYC?????????????
I KNOW I sound like a nostalgic annoying fan, I am aware of that and can't stand myself either but GOOD GRIEF somethings just MAKE the story and they just cut it up to pieces to fill the 8 episode max? Rick Riordan was on the production but that's what he tought was best?
It's a GREAT show. If you don't know the books.
And I didn't want it to be 200% faithful to all the paragraph-long monologues Percy has within the story, but goodness, they could've at least kept the ORDER of things happening......
It's pissing me off so much to see it ONCE AGAIN had so much potential to be a GREAT adaptatioin by the book (for instance, THG did it, all things considered), and it showed SO MUCH willing to do better this time bc of the terrific scenery, the casting !! and all else. AND ONCE AGAIN, it swam so long to die on the freaking beach.
The kids are AMAZING actors and have it in them to be the PERFECT trio. Only to be handed out this half-ass script, pardon me.
