Also no, the comic was bad
It easily mogs the new live action shitshow full of racechanging.
The books were okay. Never read the graphic novel. The fact that half the humor in the books was Percy's thoughts/take on the situation and literary angle make me not too interested in looking at the graphic novel. I also stopped picking up the Rick Riordan books after some time (the Egypt and Roman ones were okay, I just wasn't interested in reading Apollo and didn't bother after that) so there's not much point in getting back into it now. It's distinct enough from Harry Potter to enjoy it on its own, but it's still "kid attends school in magic world" in a similar theme.
At least the Witch & Wizard graphic novel had the art of Svetlana Chmakova going for it.
>new live action shitshow
They're doing that AGAIN? After the poor attempt a the first movie and the garbage of the second?
Why?
>They're doing that AGAIN? After the poor attempt a the first movie and the garbage of the second?
Rick seethed over it and proclaimed he would make a more ACCURATE live action version now that he had control.
Look at these three and go look at the live action cast. Accurate my saggy ballsack.
Google is also already working overtime to shove the new shitty racechange fanart probably commissioned by Rick and the other producers to shit on PJO fans who grew up reading these books.
Its a shame cause other than the castings you can see almost everything is on point on the trailers. Tbh, I would be even on board with almost every casting change, even Grover tho thats cause the movie permanently engraved him as black in my mind. But not Annnabeth. Thats the only I wont bent to, not after Rick used every opportunity to talk about her grey eyes and blonde hair. I would have even willed to reluctantly ceede if she had grey eyes, but not even that.
-->
Indeed.
>They're doing that AGAIN? After the poor attempt a the first movie and the garbage of the second?
>Why?
They're doing it specifically because of the poor attempts at adaptation those two movies were.
Percy Jackson is basically the closest thing to an American Harry Potter. The films should've been a guaranteed success, but they fricked up almost every aspect of them and they've long been hated by both Riordan and the fans. The idea behind doing a second try is to actually make them accurate as adaptations.
And, of course, because it's current year and Riordan is real big on this sort of thing, the first things they announce about the new series is that Annabeth is black and Grover is Indian and Riordan says you're an evil racist if you don't like it (despite people equally shitting on the film for not having a blonde Annabeth even when she was played by prime fricking Alexandra Daddario)
One of the biggest criticisms of the movies is that they deviated too much from the source material, which left fans feeling disappointed. Overall, while the Percy Jackson movies may be entertaining for some viewers, they are generally considered to be a poor adaptation of the beloved book series.

why did all the greek gods move to america specifically the United states?
Because their plane of existance follows the lead of the occidental culture
Because Urban Fantasy. the excuse was that they just live wherever the biggest empire is at the time. Its moronic but its but its part of the premise.
I mean to be fair if you are a god, I would go where the people are. Except yeah it gets weird when the Roman bs starts up
Literally god just loves The United States of America more than any other country.
Even when I was a kid I thought these books were moronic and then I learned he wrote them for his ADHD spazz son.
Ares said he liked the USA since they cause and take part of so many wars like a modern Sparta.
I think at one point they say Zeus has a thing for women with Afros.
>Zeus has a thing for women with Afros.
>Even in a story about Greek myths there could be a black guy with electric powers walking around.
Milkman Zeus tracks. Now I can only imagine that one "George Lucas Harlem 9/11" tweet
Gentlemen, lets ponder the Real questions in this debate.
Was Annabeth a tsundere?
Kinda. Looking back while she and Percy work she does kinda just treat him like shit a lot, it's just that he doesn't seem to care much.
I get Percy. I too like bossy girls (not whedon girlboss) that yell at me
Books were alright until the Roman series shit the bed repeatedly both with Rick going A. actively virtue signaling left wing and his writing taking a fricking nose dive. Presumably the comics are the same way.
I respect that. It kinda sucks that it's impossible to have a meaning conversation about a topic on the board for said topic outside of like, what, /m/, /tg/, and like, what, /x/ and Cinemaphile or some shit? And even /m/'s Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile infections are becoming terminal these days so who knows how long that'll last.
They glued themselves to the concept of the light of western civilization, it's implied that it was a way to ensure they would basically become immune to the consequences of their shitty actions and never be in danger of fading away somehow but it's never made clear. So whenever a new nation becomes the bastion of western civilization's power, Olympus and all of the mysticism of ancient greece moves with it. They used to be in Britain for example.
Hows that new Percy-lead book? I heard its actually good
I read one of his other book series, Kane Chronicles, like a decade ago and they didn't seem particularly bleeding hearty.
Nah the Kane Chronicles, the Egyptian set, were good, but the Roman series that came after were a schizophrenic shitshow. Like an interlocking multiple layers frickup chain eaction where basically everything about them fricked up something else about them in a new way, from plots making no sense, to the ones that do pulling absolute 180s randomly to veer away from their actual message, to shit characters eating other people's plotlines, to the central plot not even needing to exist because unironically Percy could solo it, and so on.
Actually it's possible, just very fricking hard, to straight up kill them. The Greeks didn't know how, probably because the Olympians don't want anyone knowing how to end their abusive asses, but the Egyptians do, and the Egyptian gods were way less abusive and dehumanizing towards mortals generally, probably because they had to eat humble pie and learn they weren't so different.
With that said it's noted at several points that the Greeks *should* face consequences metaphysically from what they do they just...don't, for some reason and nobody knows exactly why, so as it is inorder to take them out without pulling what the Kanes did to Apophis and forcing them to be burnt out of existence you'd basically have to kill your way through their demigod slav-I mean children and most of the minor gods, and then if you do actually take them down apparently the western world will fricking implode, so they basically have hostages.
The series actually spends a lot of time alluding to all this and even spells it out that this is a super abusive cycle, but then kinda pretends it's all fine even though it spends an entire series proving that the real reason Percy's Fatal Flaw is loyalty is that he hasn't toppled Olympus or at least dethroned Zeus because "Muh Family" despite 100% being able to circa the end of The Last Olympian, having proven himself able to hand Hades and his entire army their asses by himself, let alone by MoA.
>Actually it's possible, just very fricking hard, to straight up kill them.

I know its mostly a meta thing but it still feels like something you would just handwave until you run out of ideas. Its not like the Pantheons lack redundant deities so killing deities shouldn't be a reason for catastrophe.
I guess I'm b***hing about the fact that the series isn't about the next patricide/coup of Olympus. I never got around to seeing the rest of the series so if that happens later on you know why I didn't mentioned it.
The weird thing is that honest to god with how much of an anti-climax Gaia was and how the series hammered in that A. the Gods immediately did everything they could to undermine the agreement they made with Percy, B. that the entire situation was their fault, and that C. Percy was stronger than he ever was before when he'd already been strong enough to probably have a go at taking down most of the Olympians himself by the end of the first series...
Heroes of Olympus wasn't about Percy finally being sick of their shit and no longer letting them slide because they're related.
I would say "maybe this time" now that we got a new proper Percy Jackson book, but now that we also know Rick stance on certain current world events I fear hes not very anti-establishement
The Apollo series also ends with Apollo realizing that Zeus was an abusive frick who reminds him too much of the series' main antagonist when he actually starts to think about it but it just leaves it with him deciding to stop hanging out with his dad from then on.
Huh, nice. In an ideal world Rick would realize that giving execs excuses to make an infinite franchise is a bad idea for storytelling and would actually start considering making a "Final Arc" about destroying godhood or something like that. Sadly I fear his eyes migh already are dollar-shaped
Cool to know KC bowed out on top instead of turning itself into a shambling corpse.
>without pulling what the Kanes did to Apophis and forcing them to be burnt out of existence
Excuse me they did WHAT to Apep?
they raped him with his own shadow and weakened him enough to keep him out of the mortal world
Well now I'm salty at Riordan for fumbling an Apep plotline
It felt satisfying enough, it had a lot of build-up in the story. I don't know much about the myths, did Rick play fast and loose again?
Apep is supposed to be a direct consequence of Ra/Amun/Atum deciding to exist rather than not exist.
Depending on the exact story or interpretation you go with (they're conflicting and sparse because writing about Apep was generally discouraged), Apep is the umbilical cord of Ra or one half of the cosmic serpent which split in two when it first stirred in the waters of eternity- the other being the creator god.
By killing Apep you'd be either zero-summing reality or very severely fricking things up at best.
They didn't kill him, just hurt him enough to force him out of creation and into the sea-chaos-stuff. The gods also retreated into the heavens because 'Ma'at and [chaos] must be balanced my homie'.
I guess that's a bit more reasonable
He was literally ending the world and nobody could actually stop him, what more do you want.
Kane chronicles was pretty cool from what I remember
> The kiss in the Labyrinth book was romance kino to kid me
Based same, I remeber being like 10 and thinking that when I was 14 (like Percy) I’d finally get my first kiss
>I remeber being like 10 and thinking that when I was 14 (like Percy) I’d finally get my first kiss
Ha ha, yeah
Where did we go wrong, anon?
Fellow Kane Chronicles enjoyers
/tg/ has been pretty boring lately but that's a whole other thing.
Yes.
>it's implied that it was a way to ensure they would basically become immune to the consequences of their shitty actions and never be in danger of fading away somehow but it's never made clear.
They are gods they never get to deal with the consequences in the fist place. they just walk around being absolute fricking with mortals because they have nothing to do.
Kane Chronicles > Percy Jackson > Heroes of Olympus >>> Magnus Chase >>> any shit Riordan's done since
Kane Chronicles works really well because it's the first spin-off Riordan did, and it's just a simple trilogy. It's not trying to set up infinite sequels or tie into a dozen previous books and characters, it's just a trilogy about the Egyptian gods in the same vein and world as Percy Jackson without being obtuse about the connections.
Percy Jackson is obviously the classic series, not much else to say.
Heroes of Olympus is pretty good in the first 2-3 books, but loses its way after that and gets way too sprawling.
Magnus Chase is just plain bad. The second book was the last I read of Riordan's stuff, I was about 13 or so and I just felt incredibly bored by it. Plus, even then, the pandering was just incredibly obvious and patronising. The main cast in that second book consists of:
>Magnus, the straight white idiot hero
>a Muslim Valkyrie
>a literal dwarf
>a deaf elf
>a non-binary child of Loki who just "switches genders" whenever they feel like it (without any visible or magical change) and gets mad and preachy whenever someone misgenders them, and the book makes sure to emphasise the non-binaryness because Riordan drank the EDI kool-aid very early on
I can't even remember the plot. I think it was just Riordan's usual formula of "prophesised end of the world shenanigans caused by the main evil god of this mythology, team of heroes must go on quest to stave it off until the final book." I just remember how unlikeable and utterly one-dimensional I found the characters.
Oh right, I remember Magnus Chase now.
Ironically, I think I liked the dwarf and elf more than the rest of them. They got more character development (independently) and had more interesting stories and challenges. Magnus was, ironically, just sort of... there for the whole thing, trying to help out, and his plot was just sort of "oh yeah I suddenly get bullshit powers" at the end and otherwise kind of irrelevant.
Muslim Valkyrie and non-binary Loki kid were better, but they were pretty much summed up by their description. Muslim Valkyrie's conflict was being a Muslim and a Valkyrie, and basically everything about her revolved around that. And Ms. non-binary was just "uwu you understand me Magnus" as kind of her only real... thing. And that was her conflict, nobody automatically knowing her gender at all times. (no, really)
>a Muslim and a Valkyrie, and basically everything about her revolved around that.
Um. Do I need to ask how she reconciled the whole not god but Allah/Norse gods thing?
The things I would do to her/him/them.
>Draw a man
>Nooooo it's a super special gender flux uwu baby
I don't care about that, it makes sense for a kid of Loki to me.
I don't like Alex is muslim, that is moronic.
>don't like Alex is muslim, that is moronic.
I agree it was moronic, and I say this as a muslim.
Including real life religions just seems really awkward and just raises more questions, Rick should of just ignored that shit instead of trying to get diversity points. I say this as a muslim as well
This would've actually been kino if it was building up to Odin fighting Allah.
How's the heroine in Kane?
She's fun, from what I remember. Spunky tomboy sister of the other main character who learns Egyptian magic and gets into trouble a lot
>tomboy
Nice
Sadie was cute. The estranged to close sibling dynamic was good. Now I want to reread KC
Sadie is a c**t. Zia is the tomboy. She tries to kill the MCs, then attacks the most powerful magician of the time, then becomes the king of gods
>tfw no king of the gods gf
Ra is canonically a buff old dude. Sadie is theoretically the luckiest because she can get DP'd by a god and mortal and they're somehow totally okay with sharing.
>mfw fanboys screeching about why their favorite self insert has the highest power level
>when peak Zia could solo all of them with one hand while jerking off with the other
>an old man is inside your waifu
> Books were alright until the Roman series shit
Heroes of Olympus ones? I remember them being good, with a few shit stuff like Nick revealing he was gay for Percy. Also Thalia best girl
Hmm
>stormy grey eyes ruined the image
Holy frick that sentence is nostalgic
Oh man those guys must have gone full kkk after losing the arian dicky of their dreams
I remember liking it decently enough, but I haven't read either the book or the graphic novel since I was a kid so who am I to judge?
I haven't gone on Cinemaphile in recent months either. Not because of any perceived pedos if you actually want to find those frickers on here, go to /b/ but just because I was fricking tired of seeing the same threads and shitposts and hornyposts without any change day in, day out, and I was especially tired of certain shitposters just never getting banned.
I was almost going to quit here too, but the Wizard Top 100 Storytimes have kept me around, as well as the fact that every so often there's a decent comic book thread outside of that.
Yeah. The whole fun of the dynamic was that Percy would do something stupidly heroic, or just stupid, and then Annabeth would go "ugh you're so dumb, stop trying to die"
The kiss in the Labyrinth book was romance kino to kid me
You believe Rick is a hack cause he went extra woke
I believe he is a hack cause Percy never wielded his father's Trident as a sacrificial power-up that will kill him if used longer than 5 minutes to obliterate some big baddie or something like that
We are not the same
Rick fricking hates anything related to the movie, which includes the concept of Percy wielding a trident so you are better giving up
Western Saint Seiya?
After a whole decade of consuming various other media both eastern and western is kind of enlightening to go back to revisit the original Percy books cause kid me though he was just a wimp but no Percy really got that dog in him
I think the main problem with HoO is that it just has too many boring "important" characters, only new one I fully liked was Leo
Also as an aside I'm still mad Thalia wasn't part of the main group
Leo was still shit tbh. He was fine as jokey joke nerd guy but the moment he started cannibalizing Percy's plot with Calypso he became insufferable.
The cast was just way too unwieldy and even with each of the Heroes books being massively long, there somehow still wasn't enough space to really develop most of them or make them interesting beyond broad strokes. Which is probably why the last two in that series ended up focusing so much on Percy and Annabeth again (at least as I remember them)
Grouping in a bunch of newbies in with 2 characters with a whole series worth of development really just exasperates the issue
I get that Rick wanted to one up the original series but there had to be a better way to do it
>Also as an aside I'm still mad Thalia wasn't part of the main group
Heroes could’ve dealt with Percy, Nico and Thalia as the demigod Big Three rather than dealing a bunch of nobodies. It’s a definite missed opportunity.
The world-building in the series is top-notch, and the lore is rich and detailed. The books are full of references to Greek mythology, and the author does an excellent job of weaving these references into the story in a way that feels natural and not forced. One of the things that sets the Percy Jackson series apart from other fantasy novels is its humor. The books are filled with witty one-liners and clever jokes that will make you laugh out loud. The humor is balanced perfectly with the action and adventure, making the books a joy to read from start to finish.
ChatGPT begone
>it's an Aphrodite scene
The bigges ? the show cast give me is why does percy not have black hair
It just goes to show that they could've put the money for the show into making a well animated series but then they couldn't justify BLACKING Annabeth and POOING on Grover.
Anon, I hate to break it to you but those things would still had happened as long as Rick got his hands on the wheel
Grim and true.
Grim.
As always, people (Americans especially) love pointing to animation and saying "FOR KIDS".
Rick Riordan didn't want an animated series because he wanted the show to have The Mandalorian or Stranger Things levels of mainstream global popularity while he probably thought a cartoon would have significantly less reach.
>Rick Riordan didn't want an animated series
Holy shit, what a gay, him and Rowling. Also, has anyone here read the 39 clues series? Multiple authors wrote for it and I think Rick wrote the first book
I vaguely remember reading the first book as a child, and thinking it was alright. It's pretty much a lamer National Treasure though, isn't it?
Yeah
There were Hogwarts house-like personality based groups too
>Rick Riordan didn't want an animated series because he wanted the show to have The Mandalorian or Stranger Things levels of mainstream global popularity while he probably thought a cartoon would have significantly less reach.
what a fool
>animated series
The closest thing we have is this
Btw, in case some you haven't noticed yet, Zeus is black too. Which inevitably means.....
>we wuz trees n shieeeet
Before this thread dies, was it confirmed anywhere if annabeth and percy fricked
Yes. Percy and Annabeth had hot, steamy, teenage sex off-page in every book they were a couple.
t. Rick Riordan
Thank you Rick Riordan.
Having other pantheons exist alongside the Olympians was a really dumb idea. If all the myths are true, then how is it possible for all the pantheons to have created the world? This shit can’t co-exist.
Literally could’ve done the Earth 2 thing with the Romans. Same deal with the Egyptian and Norse pantheons. It’s the only way any of that shit would make sense.
Marvel does it.
DC does it.
Night at the museum does it.
Pretty common for all gods to exist and yet everyone thinks
>ha yeah but MINE is the real one
And those are all really dumb.
The answer is don't think about it, or else you'll end up considering all the implications.
Does it means current religious gods also exist? If so, what about the Hindu pantheon? Or fringe religions, or fringe mythologies? How would it reconcile the Christian God with the israeli God with the Islamic Allah? Would the Catholic God and the Protestant God and all the other various Christian denominations be split personalities of the same singular deity, like the Roman and Greek gods in Heroes of Olympus? Was Jesus a demigod, or a full god? What's the creation myth? Are the gods all actual gods, or just beings cosmically powerful enough to come close to the idea of godhood without actually having full control of the universe?
>How would it reconcile the Christian God with the israeli God with the Islamic Allah?
These are pretty obviously the same God, they just disagree on some things about Him.
They actually say in the very first book that the Olympians or other Pantheon gods are way below the Catholic God in terms of status and power, like they're gods but not "The God".
Whether or not that's just how it naturally is or it's just because Christianity is currently the biggest religion in the world is up for speculation
ignore the other anons, the real answer is that they are all true at the same time. Why? Mist. In Apollo's book I remember him freaking out about the possibility of dying and the thought occured to him that the sun would just rise without him, supported by the other myths and even just plain old science.
Have they made a plot yet about the myst somehow vanishing? I cant remember
no; at least, not before I trailed off the series. Last I read, some actual Roman emperors were trying to steal Apollo's godhood and form a third Triumvirate
Heroes of Olympus should have exclusively focused on the Greek-Roman demigod civil war instead of still including the Gigantomachy, where it was impossible to capture the full scale and nature of the threat of the giants and Gaea so they sort of just immediately job at the end.
Showcasing the differences of greek and roman culture could have been really interesting like how the greeks treat Kronos as a evil tyrant but the romans revere him as a benevolent figure but the whole conflict is very underplayed and kind of one-sided? Camp Jupiter in PJO are 100% the aggressors while Camp Half-Blood are chill with their existence.
>percy jackson discussion thread on Cinemaphile
god I wish I could remember the details of what happened in the books, frick
I haven't read them since I was 10/12 and I still remember the original series pretty damn well
I remember the details of the first 5 pretty well, there's so many memorable moments
>Annabeth explaining how Thalia "died" while protecting them from cyclops to explain her hate or percys half brother
>The gang joking about Thalia calling everything "damn" in the literal damn they were in (like "where's the damn bathroom, the damn vending machine" or maybe that was another character)
>Percy's funny horse landing on his car while he was with his girlfriend
>All the times Annabeth called Percy seaweed brain
lot's of great moments, I really do miss those books, though I'm having trouble remembering HOO other than Jason and Piper on the bus at the beginning of the first book
It was also pretty kino how many character's died in the fifth book, it really did feel like a great war being fought. Any of you guys seen the musical by chance?
Unironically no one relevant died besides Luke at the end of the original series
I guess that's true, I just remember some side characters I liked getting killed
>Disney +
dead on arrival
>blonde Percy
Are you fricking kidding me.
Luke has black hair funnily enough
>tv show
>blonde Percy
Frick that. This could have been Disney's Harry Potter if they played their cards right.
favorite book cover art?
See of Monsters is just too iconic. They're all good but I don't think any of them stood out to me as much as that one did.
The Lightning Thief just goes so fricking hard. The Last Olympian also hits as well.
I kind of miss the goofy vibes of the first books, like when Percy got turned into a hamster in the second one
something about the third one is so fricking cool and moody, I love it
PJ ended at the 5th book is my head canon and Rick never did anything else with greek fantasy
Doesn't Nico being gay just feel like it came out of nowhere? Even as a kid I felt like that was dumb in HOO, he was just a troubled kid who hated Percy because he blamed him for his sisters death or something
Meh, it wasn't all that big of a deal to me personally. The gay thing popped up and even as a teen I was like, "comes off like a twink so it checks out.
>Doesn't Nico being gay just feel like it came out of nowhere?
yeah
does the mentally unwell and traumatized kid growing up to be a homosexual make sense?
Yeah
Didn't he have a crush on Annabeth in the original books?
It was a bait and switch
It did, but it's a Greek myth setting so some amount of gayness should be expected honestly.
I vote for pic related
I hope you're being ironic
We got these new editions in Spain to conmemorate the new book(bottom right). I like its character art a lot
Gotta thank Rowling. She tripped and fricked up so bad that now no reputable writer will ever try to retroactively raceswap any book character ever again. Even Rick being so pozzed wont cross that line, as you can see on this year's book here
At least Rowling knows not to put trannies or non binary’s one her work
Why do book authors hate animation so much?
Would rather
A. Have Annabeth retroactively blacked in the books
Or
B. Keep annabeth as the californian we all know and love at the cost of some gays here and there
>inb4 "Neither" like centrist cuck you actually are
BLACKING Annabeth is such a crime that I can’t believe I ever used to like Rick. He went out of his way to describe her blond curls and grey eyes a bajillion times in the books and then he goes and casts and Black person as her? Unreal.
Reminder that he said it would be more accurate to the books kek. At least the 2010 movie kept her white
Yet still an awful, awful, awful movie. Only HP has managed to capture the essence of its YA world. Everything else has been an embarrassing failure
>Reminder that he said it would be more accurate to the books kek.
No way his dumbass actually said this, right? Literally half the cast has been turned into Black folk, including Chiron and Clarisse. Hell, Percy is a fricking blonde. Frick this hack, I hate him so much.
Luke fighting Percy at the end of the movie is so fricking bad
I watched the movie before reading the books so imagone how mad I was I missed the kino duel with Ares
Doubledubs nice.
And yeah it's kind of great like, how rapidly Percy himself got kind of out of control powerwise. His first big outing and he's making the God of fricking War run like a b***h as a kid with the homefield advantage. No fricking wonder by the end of HoO he was doing insane shit like controling fireblood through troll logic while half dead and poisoning the origin of poison while strangling her with her own tears.
I still say he caused that eruption via earthquake.
Ignoring how the frick it happened he was at the dead center of the blast. It's Mount fricking St.Helens. It erupting makes almost every, maybe literally every, nuke ever made look like a fricking firecracker by comparison and he took *literally all of it at absolute point blank range* and he was still in a condition to still be alive, if barely, once he hit the water.
The fact that Percy of all fricking people got up to "We need Superman to be able to break this face" is fricking magical.
Not him but I pretty distinctly remember him having to slap the shit out of Hades in TLO inorder to get him to come help. There was an entire thing with Nico trying to coax him into it and it not working because Hades was trying to just kinda sit out and turtle through the war while whining about Demeter being there as a favor to Persephone, ended up having a scene where Hades, Demeter, and Persephone all came out from the underworld going apeshit to help out IIRC.
Hades, Demeter, and Persephone did come out of the Underworld together and Hades challenged Kronos.. who promptly noped out of that.
Demeter and Persephone, especially Persephone, have scarier origins.
There was a time where Ancient Ancient Greeks were afraid to even refer to her by name.
Dread Persephone.
Pretty sure Kronos didn't even see Hades in the finale but okay
>Bunch of trivia about Persephone
Listen I read that tumblr post too you don't need to tell me about it if it's not relevant.
This is about what I expect when trying to have a nice conversation about stuff I find interesting. Some chucklefrick whose trying to be cool on 4chinz.
I would've crushed that little twerp if I hadn't been under the effects of Kronos
I liked Daddario's casting, she beautiful enough for you accept she's the offspring of a god.
Daddario might be a goddess, but SHE STILL WASN'T FRICKING BLONDE
And now Percy doesn't have black hair.
Reminder that Rick seethed and said he'd do it more accurate and then casted a black girl as Annabeth lmao
Well things tend to change after 13 years
I think the worst part is that he just blindly defends it. The big issue he and all of the readers had about the films were that they were unfaithful adaptations (as well as being kind of shit by themselves), but then for this show he's suddenly absolutely fine with being unfaithful to his own books because he thinks approving a raceswap for a character with a clearly defined appearance makes him a good person?
Rick is woke and has been since always. He somehow kept it low key at the start but by HoO it was super obvious he had an agenda to push. It’s a shame that he ended up being a bigger sellout than even Rowling. At least Rowling doesn’t support troons.
Look at it this way. You're lucky they didn't keep annabeth blonde and turn Percy black
That would be just as bad. They could have at least made her Asian, but a Black person? You expect anyone to think a Black person could be a demigoddess of wisdom and be super smart? Is she gonna invent Wakanda? Piss off, Rick.
Hard, that calafornia girl image is seared in my memory, but I’d rather her have the same personality just with a different skin color (as long as she’s still cute) than her being a dyke. I don’t have an issue with gay stuff but Annabeth is not that
The final battle in TLO could’ve been better I think
>I’d rather her have the same personality just with a different skin color than her being a dyke
Well anon good thing thats not what my post said
Sorry I assumed you meant like her acting gay here and there. If that’s the choice that obviously I’d pick that one, it’s like a nothing burger
This is the korean one. Also every book was devied into part one and two for some retarted reason. So we had to buy 10 books
Looks cute. Would have liked to see this as an anime
I think the only one I like now is House of Hades just because reading about Percy and Annabeth struggling to survive was fun.
Heroes of Olympus was just a cramped shitfest with a million different characters for no particular reason other than to showcase as many ethnicities as possible in the story. Percy Jackson worked because it was a very tightly wrapped story told through a likeable protagonist. Riordan could have expanded having Annabeth and Grover get more spotlight through their points of view but by the final books he was having to juggle 8 different viewpoints and it was all such a gigantic mess. Not to mention how he did the classic mistake of trying to do something bigger than the last series in the traveling to Greece and battling the titans. Having a roman camp simultaneously with a Greek camp was also a moronic choice. The whole point of the Greek gods was that they adopted different personas depending on where the western seat of power was, is there also a british camp since the greek gods settled in the UK in the 19th century? Is there a spaniard camp for the 16th century? Having an entirely simulatenous camp was such a gigantic asspull it had to retcon the original ending to explain why the frick they didnt appear in what essentially was the end of the world, or why none of the gods cared to mention it.

I think it's more because the Greek and Roman interpretations of the Olympians are fairly different that it led to the Gods splitting into two forms that have different personalities and traits respective of their Greek/Roman counterparts despite still being the same deity. The British and Spaniards just saw the Olympians as their greek/roman forms and didn't retrofit them into being British or Spanish Gods which is why they don't have such counterparts.
>Funny to see everyone criticizing Heroes of Olympus
I did not mention Hero of Olympus in my post at all though -->
On a less serious note. If Vs Battles wiki could stop nerfing PJO that would be fricking great.
Did Percy ever ask Poseidon about raping Medusa in Athena's temple?
They made it safe and consensual
>Did Percy ever ask Poseidon about raping Medusa in Athena's temple?
I hate that the fanfiction made by Ovid and embraced by feminists is embraced by pop history, the earliest versions of Medusa had her born a monster.
You just hate women, yeah.
Everything written by Ovid is suspect. The pop history version of Medusa doesn't explain her gorgon sisters Euryale and Stheno.
Ovid had an axe to grind, his reinterpretations come from a place of polemic.
You’re now aware that pagan religions are all uncodified local fanfiction of the same few characters
And christianity is fanfiction of judaism which is fanfiction of Sumer and Babylon.
Its all fanfiction.
All of it.
>She's White
instantly better than israelitesus. Who doesn't offer you shit for free, you have to love his devil of a daddy who says you are sinful, evil, and wicked because apparently a woman ate an apple that he knowingly put in the general area after a talking snake told her too.

Get over it you flaming homosexual
People are just becoming atheists moron
Pretty much. All religions are basically your ancestors version of Scooby-Doo, where there's a billion incarnations and you can choose which one is your favorite.
Medusa's rape is actually a fair bit older than Ovid. As far as we can tell while he definitely tweaked shit to make it clearer who he was referring to at the time, it was mainly a case of "It's fricking Ovid we fricking *know* what this butthole is trying to imply* kinda like how you can have that one friend who could be talking about anything when he says "those people" but you know he's probably talking about some gays he hates.
With that said we're not actually certain what the oldest version of Medusa's story is but "Ocean/City God Rape" is one of the main contenders.

I remember when he used to be 'large island level'
>Mid-Nuclear
Damm
How do you guys feel about Jason?
He was a pretty boring guy. But I feel sorry for him because his girlfriend dumped him and immediately became a dyke after his death.
>his girlfriend dumped him and immediately became a dyke after his death
what? which book did that happen in?
One of the Apollo ones IIRC
Jason was okay.
Heheheheh. Rick is still mad at the fandom for declaring Artemis goddess of lesbians and her huntresses to be her harem.
>Rick is still mad at the fandom for declaring Artemis goddess of lesbians and her huntresses to be her harem.
Good, frick that guy.
>Rick is still mad at the fandom for declaring Artemis goddess of lesbians and her huntresses to be her harem.
source?
He went out of his way to clarify that Artemis and her merry band of e-girltas swear off ALL kinds of love and not just men.
Which is fun because it A. makes zero sense [Artemis's thing is she's a schizo manhater] and B. now just unironically makes her predatory grooming shit she did with Bianca to get her to abandon Nico seem even more insane. A carnal reason is at least a thought process that's easy to figure out, but now it's a case of her getting a young girl killed and destroying an already broken family for literally no fricking reason other than that it's automatic for her and she does it without hesitation.
Tbf Artemis is ambivalent towards men, it's her hunters, especially Zoe, who are the misandrists
Didn't she call Percy 'boy' with disdain till he proved he was alright 'for a man'
Yes but at the end of the book he'd won her respect.
I once read a fic where Artemis turns Percy into a girl because Percy had saved Bianca and Zoe which made the Fates mad and he was dying.
Artemis's reasoning was she just wanted to help but iirc Hestia said it sounded more like she wanted kids of the big three in her hunters.
FemPercy, Thalia, and Bianca.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9221399/1/The-Exiles
The graphic novels seem alright. The arts's decent
I'm not a greek mythology expert, so outside of Rick's universe, Artemis and her girls can be in love with each other or something?
>I'm not a greek mythology expert, so outside of Rick's universe, Artemis and her girls can be in love with each other or something?
>gif related
All I know is that the fandom for years, hell maybe since day fricking one, in the various fanfics I read as a young teen would portray Artemis 1 of 2 ways. 1, she gets with Percy. 2. She's a lesbian and the hunters are her harem. These also usually included Rule 63 Percy.
>Percy cures Artemis of her hate of Men with a good dicking
missed opportunity rick
I remember in that book that Percy actually earned Artemis's respect which is what 9/10 times fics going that path would base it off.
>Rule 63 Percy.
hot
Yes I've enjoyed many a Fem!Percy fic.
God any good recs?
>1, she gets with Percy.
I am now intrigued by the idea of Percy fricking his way through the goddesses, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
More or less. Ancient Greece had a lot less survive than you'd think but the Greeks clearly had some of the same questions and ideas as us today on the topic of Artemis, who's virgin oath was framed differently than that of Athena or Hestia, and there was clearly some discourse on if Anal or other women or animals "wouldn't count" technically.
It's been years upon years at this point but the climax of the last of the Egyptian Trilogy was a huge fricking global battle with Apophis who was literally ripping holes in layers of reality just to slither through them as casually as walking. They took him down by finding a way to basically find his true name and a key and important part of his soul and basically turboincinerated him out of existence, set that shit to "Blend" and then "extra crispy" because he was so fricking unkillable that trying a straight up fight was as much a suicide attempt as going on an insane quest to do something that might not have even been possible since like 70% of the Egyptian pantheon was sealed away or dead.
Percy actually talks about that in "Percy Jackson's Greek Gods" IIRC where he's clearly super fricking uncomfortable with all that shit. Again it kinda seems like they were building to a "Percy drops the fricking hammer on Olympus and makes the survivors shape the frick up" plot finally happening but it just...doesn't.
But he wrote some lesbo hunters in the apollo books, IIRC
They had to leave the hunters though, that was the concession
what the frick made him so pozzed?
i dunno, it never really hit until Magnus.
>Percy either overthrows the gods, continuing the cycle of parent-killing and usurpation, or he lets them continue to be shit
Tragic
Jason suffered from A. being Percy but shit, and B. having to share a series where the other two sons of the Big Three were around and just absolutely fricking mogged him while also just being a shit subseries in general.
Nico could summon armies of the damned and teleport globally, while Percy could literally chokeslam gods to death, cause Earthquakes, become a living hurricane, and survive explosions that made a nuclear bomb look like a fricking toy so long as he had some water.
Meanwhile Jason could fly a bit but sucked at it and could get tired after throwing a few thunderbolts.
he's ok but I don't really remember anything about him.
>But I feel sorry for him because his girlfriend dumped him and immediately became a dyke after his death.
holy kek I forgot about that
Bland ass loser. I remember hating how all throughout the lost hero when someone was explaining greek shit he would "um actually" with roman shit. I dropped the series when percy was in hell and he was trying and failing to be the leader
The original series is good, but anything else that hack Riordan has ever written is garbage.
>HoO makes no sense and has too many characters with forced diversity everywhere, Percy and Annabeth are barely in it, let alone characters like Thalia, Grover, Clarisse, etc. All of the new characters are shit besides maybe Reyna. Also, Nico is turned into a homosexual for woke points and some characters like Calypso have their entire personality changed to suit the plot. The new villains are total jobbers and a non-threat, no one important ever dies unlike PJO.
>Kane Chronicles is literal WE WUZ KANGZ levels of cringe. The main characters are mutts and their parents are a WFBM couple because of course they are. Also some really weird and disturbing pedo romance between the female MC and Anubis.
>Magnus Chase is just more cringe diversity and a worse version of PJO.
>Trials of Apollo is Rick’s most pozzed work yet. Gays and Black folk are everywhere, Piper gets turned into a dyke, Nico gets groomed by a highschool age boy, the new “villains” are dead Roman emperors for some reason.
The Disney+ show is also pozzed with half the cast being turned into Black folk, including Annabeth. It will fail and Rick won’t be able to blame anyone but himself this time kek.
kane is good but I agree with the rest
All TV shows are pozzed nowadays, that's just how it is. The only recent TV show I can recall that has a mostly white cast is Scott Pilgrim but Cinemaphile still hates it
Imma be real with everyone here. Its 2023. The racebend its not the reason that will kill the show or anythibg like that at this point, everyone is used to it by now. The reason most streaming shows die on arrival is because they are written like streaming shows and not TV shows, with fricked up pacing that kills all engagement. Its clear the mouse has funded a decent amount of money, so its destiny will be all dependant on the direction and production choices.
> The racebend its not the reason that will kill the show or anythibg like that at this point
Except for all the shows/movies that failed specifically because of this reason?
Like?
Are you stupid?
>Little Mermaid
>Batwoman
>Snow White
>Rings of Power
>Doctor Who
>Practically every Netflix adaptation of anime
There’s plenty more. So are you just ignorant or what?
Are you sure they failed specifically because they had black leads or because Disney live-action remakes just suck ass in general? Also at least half of those haven't even come out yet like the new Doctor Who. And what Netflix adaptations? Death Note sucked ass and that had a white american lead, meanwhile One Piece went on to become a massive hit.
Oh so you’re just willfully ignorant.
>Forgets Doctor Who had a female doctor and made the original doctor a sheboon
>Forgets the FMA and Cowboy Bebop adaptations
>Acts like Death Note movie having a white guy play Light wasn’t a problem when it was along with all the other race swapping
What’s it like having room temperature IQ?
>Forgets Doctor Who had a female doctor
I thought you were talking about raceswaps?
>Forgets the FMA and Cowboy Bebop adaptations
>Acts like Death Note movie having a white guy play Light wasn’t a problem when it was along with all the other race swapping
Or maybe they just sucked in terms of writing and production value and that's why most people disliked them?
Actual negative IQ.
>FMA
Anon thats literally just a japanese-live action, those are mid for completely different reasons
Also Death Note's biggest problem was 3 fourths of the screentime being Light and Misa(?) fricking
Deranged cope.
Not that anon but willy-nilly race-swapping of major characters is a reliable indicator of the adaptation being written by people who have neither talent nor interest in the source material.
It's very strongly correlated with an adaptation or remake absolutely blowing ass.
Eh, Last of Us and House of the Dragon were popular and well received adaptations and those had raceswaps
Last of Us and HotD suck fricking ass though, granted that's because Last of Us is literally a mountain of dogshit to begin with, but still.
Just because you didn't like it doesn't change the fact it was massively popular, like how this site tries to pretend that Barbie, probably the wokest blockbuster to ever be produced, wasn't the highest grossing film of this year
>Snow White
?
>we wuz kangs
It had like two black people in it
Literally like half the cast is black including the MCs. Whatchu on about Willis?
Of the main cast only his dad is black. Technically Carter and Sadie are mulattoes but Sadie is basically white (apparently this really happens sometimes). You could call Carter black, and that side character that was half of Sadie's boyfriend black.
>make Nico gay
Nico was an pale emo twinkle, he had gay written all over him.
Him being gay isn’t the problem per se (homosexualry is still gross though) it’s how it happened. Rick literally retconned the story to make it so. Remember how Nico was being an edgelord during the Labyrinth and seething about how much he hated Percy? Well, Rick changed it so that the real reason he was mad at Percy wasn’t because Bianca died, but because he had a crush on Percy and wanted him to sodomize his 11 year old ass.
>sodomising 11 year old twink ass
I don't know what you're upset about ancient Greeks would 120% approve of this
Maybe, but I’m more leaning towards Rick being a pedophile considering this isn’t the only questionable romance decision he’s made. There was also the weird Sadie/Anubis thing in KC that gave off pedo vibes.
>pedesastry
>4000 year old calypso grooms 14 year old Leo
>incest between fricking demigods
Rick fricking DELIVERS
Wasn't it explained that he initially had a crush on Percy but then Bianca died so he ended up hating him before mellowing out but he still had leftover feelings that wouldn't get resolved until House of Hades?
I don’t remember for sure, I haven’t read HoO since middle school and I never will because it was shit. I do feel like I remember reading that Nico was upset because he knew Annabeth liked Percy and that there was no way Percy would reciprocate his feelings.
>I remember reading that Nico was upset because he knew Annabeth liked Percy and that there was no way Percy would reciprocate his feelings.
Which is funny because one of his first ever lines in the series is him asking if Annabeth was stupid despite being a daughter of Athena for sacrificing herself
Would Nico even have much of a crush? Off the top of my head and the Wikipedia summary, he'd only have known Percy for a few days at most before his sister got squished by Talos. Plus, he's a little kid in the third book.
Kane Chronicles was fun, the world felt more expansive and the cast was more varied
Also, hot brown Arabic tomboy pussy
non-zero chance she knows a sex spell

>She's standing over you, breathing heavily and sweating from something much warmer than the desert heat

Housing/mantling/emulating someone older than Ra creates a loophole
I want one mention of Priapus in the show
just one
The guy who played Dionysus in the 2nd film should return
>That time they redeemed Luke and manages to go to heaven for comitting suicide despite all the shit he did like tricking and leaving Annabeth to be tortured and trafficking demigods
Luke would have been based had he not been a Kronoscuck
Sounds like Rick was watching too many fricking anime.
Good, he should watch more and do shit like
>tfw no Percy Jackson shounen anime
It honesty would’ve been great
Rachel is pretty one note but I still like her
Most of the girls in the series are pretty wifeable tbh. Clarisse is the perfect tomboy gf.
Seriously, how did he manage to come up with so many waifus? Even as a kid I was like
>yes, I love each and every one of these girls
>you will never tell Thalia how sorry you are for not being there to comfort her when her brother dies
>she will never cling to you out of fear you’ll leave her just like the rest of her family has while she cries into your chest
>you will never get to stroke her messy black hair and tell her you love her too much to even think about going anywhere
>you will never make tender love with her while listening to early 00s altrock inside Zeus’ cabin while the rest of the hunters wonder where she is
You're going to get turned into a deer at this rate.
Whew lad
Also, I don't remember Thalia being this cute. Obviously there wasn't any art in the books, though.
I think the girls I liked in the original series were Rachel and Calypso
>you will never get turned into a Sergal by Artemis after she finds out you made her hunter lieutenant break her oath
I can't believe you made me look up some weird furry shit, frick you
In my mind Clarissa looks like Marisa from SF6 but slimmer
It fricked me up whenever I read about Tyson cause I just imagined the dude from the original Beyblade but big, wide and with a single eye
The show is pozzed, its gonna fail, raceswapping bad, and Rick is a hack
Ok now that we got over that, whats the scene you are looking foward the most to be adapted? For me is the Chronos dreams
I'm looking forward to the Sven where Percy is in the lake and surrounded by hot nymphs.
Oh shit forgot about that. I hope they deliver
they won't, they'll all be ugly indians. screenshot this.
I think they will be ambigously female shaped ethereal humanoid things that wont turn you on unless you are a monster-fricker(me)
Heroes of Olympus had such a cluster frick of a final book that the actual finale is told through a GOD DAMN RECAP and for some reason has the Gods themselves come down from high to fight with their kids. What the FRICK. Also Gaia gets killed so easily I thought it was a fakeout!
I honestly don't remember the finale at all
I remember the book with Percy and Annabeth walking through Tartarus, but not the actual ending (aside from something happening with Leo)
Leo finally gets a gf, after spending most of his pagetime in the series whining about girls not liking him, in Calypso which was random and felt like the wrong message the character needed to learn.
Calypso changed so much that it is a crime to call that b***h Calypso.
And God, Leo can die in a ditch for all I care.
Calypso doesn’t exist in that series. Instead she was bodysnatched by a totally different character. Also yeah, her and that homosexual Leo getting together was so forced and weird that not even Rick’s most deluded meatriders liked it. At least there’s a funny undertone to that “romance” where it’s heavily implied that Calypso still prefers Percy lmao.
>At least there’s a funny undertone to that “romance” where it’s heavily implied that Calypso still prefers Percy lmao.
Percy should cuck Leo, for a laugh
Would be racist.
Percy could legit cuck almost every guy in the series since I’m pretty sure every non-goddess girl has a crush of some kind on him at some point. Probably why harem fanfics are so popular.
How many character was percy shipped with?
I remember rachel and calypso loving him the first time they met him. Anabath only loved him in the third book I think? Didn't other female like zeus daughter and areas daughter hated him?
Off the top of my head:
>Annabeth
>Rachel
>Calypso
>Reyna
>Medusa (yes a monster liked him)
>A bunch of unnamed demigoddesses, some very minor names ones are implied to as well
>Hazel briefly liked him
>Thalia is slightly implied to
>Think there was an Amazon that liked him too
Huh thats a lot. I thought medusa just wanted to turn him to stone. I can kind of get why my sister had a crush on him. Ironic since I had a crush on anabath.
Also because of nostalgia I kind of want to read percy jackson fanfic again. Is there any good fanfics? I only read the first five series.
Wrong, it's because masses of readers self insert as Percy. Jason is the only Chad there
>Rachel briefly dated Percy
>Calpyso's whole shtick is whoever comes to the island she falls for
>Annabeth yes
>Hazel more shipping nonsense, mistaking her thinking he is a god because of his invulnerablity from Achilles curse with a crush on him (gods in PJO are not particularly attractive either)
>Reyna because she needed someone to counter Octavian, she was crushing on Jason not Percy
>nico is a gay
>This much denial
Bro it’s literally known and accepted that Percy pulls more b***hes than Rick probably intended. Also, Jason? Jason is a beta lmao.
Jason has half the page time and pulled as many b***hes (Reyna and Piper). Like actually pulled, not over interpreted nonsense or made to fall in love by magical curses.
What the frick are you talking about? All those girls I listed literally liked Percy. Reyna legit tried to ask him out and some Amazon girl casually told Percy to hit her up if Annabeth ever dumped him. Percy was literally the camp crush by the end.
She was literally just doing it because Percy could've been praetor instead of Octavian.
>This much denial when it’s literally spelled out that she liked him
You also going to ignore later parts where she’s glum about both Jason and Percy being taken?
>Calypso heavily prefers Percy
Fake, source me where this is true
Literally the entire scene where she’s seething about Annabeth stealing Percy from her in front of Leo. Not to mention how Calypso treats Leo like a dog.
Wasn't that before she and Leo dated, and mostly because Percy didn't free her like promised?
Calypso treats him like shit in the series after and Calypso didn’t even blame Percy for her not being freed. She was so butthurt about gigastacy Annabeth dating Percy that she literally cursed her.
It's kind of bullshit that Leo was the one who freed her from the island somehow at the end of HOO
Gigastacey Annabeth had a crush on Luke who sister zoned her so he could destroy Olympus. By extension, everyone else in PJO is getting Luke's sloppy seconds.
>friendzones Annabeth and cucks her out of her camp romance
>cucks the entire camp out of their camp crush
>nearly brings the gods to ruin
>becomes the mortal host of Kronos
>cucks Percy out of being the chosen one
>still manages to die a hero
Lukechads never had it so good
I think the camp crush would be Drew. She's the alpha Stacey of the Stacey demigods
Annabeth didn’t have a crush on Luke, Thalia did. Luke even asked her if she loved him and she said like a brother.
>In the Demigod Diares, Percy says "Annabeth developed a crush on Luke," and she admits that Luke was her first crush in MoA (HoO, book 3)
Sorry Percucks, Luketitans can't be stopped
Wouldn’t be the first time Rick retconned something, that hack.
I remember Percy almost killing that witch, frightening Annabeth. Seemed like it was setting up something that went nowhere.
I wonder if Rick will ever have a literal godess heroine
Musical was pretty good
Yeh I liked it a lot, really got the tone of the books right. Lukes betrayal being a repise of "good kid" was pretty kino honestly
?si=QW82wvrkWSVr0TLZ&t=128
Ngl I thought Bianca wanting to seperate from her brother after seemingly taking care of him for as long she remembered was understandable but her immediately bailing straight to reincarnation shortly after she arrived in the afterlife before her brother could even properly talk to her again was fricked up
Oh no Bianca is a total b***h. She dumps her brother the FIRST chance she got, took an oath to become an immortal hunter, and then only talks to Percy after she dies instead of her brother trying to contact her.
Bianca didn't even last a MONTH as an immortal and died on her first mission. Pathetic.
The summary im getting from this thread is that the egypt books are a must read. Good to know
>Thalia will never be your goth tomboy queen gf hiding your relationship from Artemis while you secretly send messages to one another while she’s gone hunting
It’s not fair bros… I can fix her…
>Skips her reaction to her baby brother's death
Classie was much more better
Ma homie
Rick Riordan is a great motivator. I want there to be a franchise like Percy Jackson, but not poisoned by it's creator. one day I fill provide what he could not
>one day I fill provide what he could not
Like Dave Sim and Ceberus?
You have no idea how long I’ve been itching for a new series that focuses on Greek mythology. God of War is gay now and PJO was retroactively ruined by its hack author. I just want SOMETHING, man. I’ve been thinking about doing it myself one day even know.
Hades was pretty decent.
If you can, I'd love to see it as a comic. I love books but a comic about greek stuff would be so cool
Wait what, I though Thalia liked girls
She at least denies wanting to be with Reyna
She’s basically confirmed to have had a crush on Luke before he was evil.
Can we talk about the fact that percy and his mom committed first degree murder in the first book on Gabe and possibly his friends (statue was called the poker player) when she could have just divorced his ass
#
Why did Poseidon fall in love with her again? "Oh I just really love the beach y'know and your dad liked that about me".
Meanwhile everyone Ares only fricks war-mommies with 300 confirmed kills and Hephaestus will only frick women that designed the SpaceX rocket or something.
Riordan sanitized Poseidon to such a degree that he’s Poseidon in name only. In the myths Poseidon was a total bastard, arguably even worse than Zeus.
Also it’s kinda disturbing to think about how all human demigod parents are roasties because they got knocked up out of wedlock with no child support from their godly lover lmao.
That and you'd end up with a lot of shitty kids due to being raised by single mothers.
It gets even funnier when you consider how Athena kids are born.
>Athena falls in love with a mortal man
>They mingle for a while, but never have sex because she’s an eternal virgin or w/e
>Uses her brain jutsu to conjure up a baby with shared thoughts of her mortal lover
>Literally drops an infant at his doorstep and expects him to take care of the baby
>Rickwtf.jpg
>They mingle for a while, but never have sex because she’s an eternal virgin or w/e
Wait really??
Yes. Athena, Hera, and Artemis are the eternal virgin goddesses in the myths. Though if Rick could bullshit his way into still having Athena kids then idk why he didn’t do the same for the other two.
The real moral of the story is that if you're 12 feet tall, you can snap your fingers and women will bend over
Soul
Yeah but Gabe was such a piece of shit no one cares. Though it is funny to think about how Luke was forgiven in the end despite being 100x worse while Gabe was treated like the devil himself. I guess according to Rick being a wifebeater is worse than almost destroying the world.
>I guess according to Rick being a wifebeater is worse than almost destroying the world.
Is just how it is, if someone suddenly raped Percy in the middle of the series, more people would treat it with more gravity than Kronos attempting to destroy the world
Maybe they just passed off the disappearance as a mob hit or something
The only thing I remember from this series is that it was incredibly more GOATed to be the child of some rando like Morpheus or Nemesis than it was to be the offspring of Hermes or Apollo.
If the PJO shit was reality I’d still be Christian. Even St. Paul says the pagan gods exist but that they’re just demons that tricked people into worshipping them. Jesus was confirmed to exist in the Magnus chase books (Thor wanted to fight him apparently) and I would never worship the degenerate homosexuals, and capricious olympian gods over the God who sent His son to die for our sins. Enjoying giving up half your dinner so some fart sniffing pagan idol in NYC can continue ignoring you with the rest of his/her kids after abandoning your human parent. Meanwhile I’ll have full steak dinners with all the fixings, a supportive religious community, and an eternity in heaven. :^)
Book of Enoch states that the polytheistic gods are fallen angels. They tricked mankind into believeing they were gods and fricked around with the human girls, leading to the birth of the Nephilim AKA demigods. God gets pissed and war breaks out. Whole thing ends with the entire world being flooded to wipe out the Nephilim. God imprisons the fallen angels and makes them watch as their children drown to death. While the Nephilim's bodies were destroyed, their spirits lingered on and became demons.
Why are christcucks always the most obnoxious homosexuals alive.
Because while their religion is growing, its growing in non White parts of the world. White people are leaving christianity in droves and either adopting athiesm or another spiritual/religious path. This makes them seethe as the White man and the White woman return to European faiths and not ones from some shit hole in the Middle East.
>the White man and the White woman return to European faiths
just lmao
After you've been BTFO pagans for 1000+ years you tend to get a big head.
>unsaved zoomers instantly on full cope and seethe
Zased.
The greatest trick they ever pulled on the Aryan race.
>that hack Riordan still hasn't even started on the hinted PJO KC MC crossover
But even when it does I'm not excited because there's like 5 good characters between them and Rick is going to give all the time to the wrong ones
Wasnt that tease like 5 years ago
Yes and Rick decides to write a 3 book series on the administrative troubles of Percy Jackson vs the godly SAT board instead
It used to be. The D+ show will be shit btw. I'll probably be sticking to HBO's new HP series for the time being.
>HBO's new HP series
Completely useless, I'd understand if it was an animated series but another live-action adaptation of the books? What would be the point, including stuff that was cut for good reason like the House Elf slavery apologia subplot?
The movies already exist and most people are already attached to them, if the show wanted to be distinct then they would have to ditch the iconography those films established but that would come at the cost of cutting its visual connection to the franchise.
>another live-action adaptation of the books
Well that's fricking moronic, I thought it was going to be a series set in the same setting but with an original story or something.
Fantastic Beasts killed any future for the franchise beyond Hogwarts so WB is trying to recover by focusing back on Harry Potter.
If HBO includes the SPEW storyline with every house elf telling Hermione to frick off, it'll be all worth it.
I will not be watching Percy Jackson's new show, or the Twilight remakes, or this. I know where it leads.
So who is the best and worst Olympian God in Percy Jackson?
>virgin
>no weird virgin birth kids that their dad’s hate
>tomboy
>ice queen
>harem of loyal followers to share with you
>can bring you prime venison
>not a filthy fricking degenerate
>teases her brother in her Roman form
Artemis/Diana and it’s not even close
Yea, Percy asks Annabeth if she has a belly button when he learns about it in the labyrinth book
Do you think Rick would be brave enough to reveals Artemis is not actually a virgin and every year she goes out to frick once but she kills the father/mother and the baby everytime so her myth stays unblemished
Hell no, Rick is pozzed as hell, there’s no way he’d ever do something controversial like that. Reminder that Rick has such a hateboner for gigachad Hercules that he literally invented a character just to shit on Hercules some more with (Zoë).
Hercules does appear in HOO and he actually is a pretty nice guy up until one of the characters brings up Hera then he goes batshit.
Nah, if you read the series again you would notice that he takes constant jabs at Hercules throughout the books. Even when finally does make an appearance he makes Hercules come across as a mopey butthole.
Hhng need self insert artemis love
>worst
Ares wanted to start WW3 with the gods.
>best
Dionysus was pretty chill, relatively speaking.
Didn't Dionysus threaten to turn Percy into grapes multiple times? Though I agree compared to everyone else he's ok
Dolphins, I think. But can you really blame him? Percy is pretty whiney sometimes.
True, but then again Percy is barely a teen and has to deal with butthole gods. It’s hard not to feel for him, especially with the first person point of view you got
>Best
Easily Apollo pre-ToA. He’s super laidback and doesn’t look down on mortals unlike every other god. He also shows the most genuine care for his kids.
>Worst
Toss up between Hera and Zeus. Honorable mention to Dionysus for being a hypocritical spoiled brat.
>pre-ToA
QRD?
ToA turned Apollo mortal and he basically acted like a cringelord homosexual the entire time. That entire series is super pozzed, don’t read it.
>ToA turned Apollo mortal and he basically acted like a cringelord homosexual the entire time
He already was one when he was a god so it makes sense
He was a dork before, but in ToA it was amped to 100 and it was unreadable.
Hestia is Bestia on virtue of not being kind of a huge wiener. Some of the others get a bit of slack for cycle of abuse bullshit being the main reason they're huge wieners [Ares, Aphrodite, etc] but even that is just "Cool but you're still awful." generally.
Worst is debatably Zeus for being a colossal butthole who enables all the problems he doesn't create, Poseidon for being a dick we're told specifically throws hurricanes at regions if a tv special says something he doesn't like about him on air, Apollo for being a raging fricking psychopath in secret [even before he got his own books he was a titanic piece of shit, Annabeth's backstory literally hinges on him at one point IIRC] or probably Athena for the simple fact that Athena has always been legitimately the worst.
What about Hades
Hades is just tired of everyone getting away with all their bullshit.
Hades is mostly fine but still a dick to people purely because of what their parents did and Percy still had to kick the everloving frick out of him and destroy his armies to get him to help with the fricking end of the world where his dad was gonna come back and vore him again. He's better than most of them definitely but he's not Hestia who has *literally* never done anything wrong [other than take herself off the market frick I just wanna make an honest woman out of her]
>Percy still had to kick the everloving frick out of him and destroy his armies to get him to help with the fricking end of the world where his dad was gonna come back and vore him again
Did we read the same book
>other than take herself off the market frick I just wanna make an honest woman out of her
Based
Is it just me or did Riordan shoot himself in the foot when he gave an actual canon explanation as to why Demigods are totally allowed to frick each other despite their parents being interrelated with the whole "Gods don't have DNA" thing even though that would contradict the whole concept of Demigods and bringing it up within the story itself now makes it hard to ignore?
You think they’d allow a kids book series where the main romance involves incest? Pretty obvious why he did it.
You see if demigods can't frick, shipping becomes impossible and thus 90% of the readership leaves
Thanks for remind me. Does that mean Annabeth doesn't have DNA or is she like a female clone of her dad? The same applies to percy, is he and all demigods just super-powered clone like kids of there human parents?
>Hestia at the bottom
You know remind me that the eldest and oldest of the Olympians larps as a six year old girl in Camp Half Blood
Uoooh, stoke the fire in my loins Hestia-chan
Funny japan also made their version of hestia a e-girl
I want Percy to somehow go back in time and met Perseus
I want some relationship drama like Percy cucks Leo
>I want Percy to somehow go back in time
it worked for Hercules. it's possible
>KC is the best series
>has the least fanfic
It's a tradegy
So was Typhon just Cthulhu?
>You are now aware that Rick made Percy’s mom pregnant again in the latest series with a normie baby
Man, imagine having to grow up as a normie while your half-brother is literally part god and gets to fly around on magic horses while fricking his demigoddess gf. Imagine the sheer jealousy and self-esteem issues LMAO! Did Rick even think two seconds about this?
Rick understands Greek mythology on a spiritual level. Literally everything that happens in PJO, happens because people can't control their dick. Everyone has to be constantly fricking, shipping and fricking some more.
>Be normal young girl
>Be told you have an older half-brother
>Be told he’s special and you’re not despite assurance from your parents that it means nothing
>Learn that your brother goes to a special magic camp and flies around on a literal pegasus and can talk to fish
>Learn that your brother has already retired before he even turned 20 while you will have to wage slave for life
>Notice that your parents are subtly far more fonder and prouder of your brother because he saved the world twice
>Grow up feeling inadequate because your brother is a literal demigod gigachad living the dream
>IwishIwasn’tborn.jpg
Rick has gone too far this time.
I mean, Paul has to deal with the fact that his wife got gaped by a 12 foot tall god with a foot long dick. Sally probably doesn't even feel anything for him.
>Goes on to develop an insatiable desire to frick a god so her own kids will be special
And so it goes
More like she develops a severe inferiority complex and ends up roping or overdoses on drugs.
Or, hear me out here, channels that into brother complex and latches into Percy's crotch like a lamprey
Far too based, Rick would never.
Sigh, as usual it's up to the fans
>before Nico was ever outed he had taken so much dick in fanfic he walks bow legged
Fanfics are unironically better than anything Rick has made in the last decade.
After reading his later works you wonder if he's just reading fics for ideas
Nah, he’s just a talentless hack. I’m legit convinced that someone else is responsible for how good PJO turned out to be considering all of his other books are terrible. I’m thinking it’s like an ATLA scenario where an editor or something made all the right changes, like how Aaron Ehasz was responsible for ATLA being as good as it was.
PJO is only good because it's basically about him/his life (he's a teacher in NY for middle school kids) so he has a lot of material to work with. KC is better because of vast Egyptian mythology even if he kind of hacks it up
I think it’s a case of him listening to much to the fans (especially the vocal minority).
They are. I read on reddit that Nico's boyfriend was able to actually hurt fricking Nyx while literally dying. That sounds moronic as frick.
I think Kronos would have been cooler if he acted more like Sukuna from JJK, just replace the cooking theme of his powers with time, where he's casually depraved, cruel, and powerful enough that he'd rather be on his own than have an army or multiple subordinates.
Kronos was already a good villain, far better than any shit that came after. The only problem is the powerscaling of the series that brings into question as to how the gods even beat him to begin with.
It took all of the Olympians to beat Typhon in TLO while in the actual myths, Zeus did it solo. Then it’s stated that Kronos makes Typhon look like a gnat in his true form… so how the frick did they win originally if Kronos was that powerful? It doesn’t make any sense. And again, in the myths Zeus beat Kronos solo.
If you could change anything about PJO, what would it be?
Make everything after The Last Olympian non-canon.
>nobody's mentioned frank at all
That tracks lmao
>Frank
Who?Not memeing, I have no idea who you are talking about.
One of the 7 half-bloods in the big Heroes of Olympus prophecy, I just find it funny that even Hazel's been brought up before him
It's almost impressive how Heroes of Olympus introduced a whole roster of new protagonists and the only one who's at all vaguely memorable years later is Leo
>knockoff not as good Percy, but blonde, complete with his own Annabeth
>2 Camp Jupiter fricks that arbitrarily have to exist since Percy can't have a solo book in this format
There's only so much you can do with characters that are only special because they were descended from someone
That's where they start, there is plenty of room to grow.
I know it is basic knowledge at this point, but it was a big deal in the first book that Percy was the son of Poseidon. It actually was a genuine shock for most first time readers. By the time they reveal that in camp, we already had Percy fully established as a character. The other 7 that aren't Percy, Leo, and Annabeth literally had got anything resembling a character in the entirety of HoO.
Leo was only memorable because of how much everyone fricking hated him. He was absolutely awful.
He's a boring c**t, to be honest. As other anons have noted, the only interesting Roman is Leo.
To be honest I forgot he was Asian and just pictured him as white
Soooo, any other YA book you would recommend?
Mistborn was neat. Prince of Thorns was pretty edgy but I remember enjoying it.
I should try Mistborn. I heard Sanderson writes western shonen
The magic is neat but the characters were pretty forgettable.
I remember liking Prince of Thorns even with the twist near the end but dropped the series mid King of Thorns when it got too edgy for me with the rape stuff.
Don’t really think it counts as YA but I really like the guardians of Gahool books
>guardians of Gahool
>Huh thats sounds familiar I wonder wha-
Oh. Lmao its the owls from that movie nobody watched
I remember a Cinemaphile greentext where a guy watched that movie move over a hundred times while working in Saudi Arabia since the only TV channel in English just played it on a constant loop.
So at least one person saw it.
Hell
Camp Jupiter is cooler than Camp HB because it's a full-fledged community
Camp Jupiter and the Roman demigod community btfos Camp Half-Blood so hard it's not even funny. Half-Blood has a handful of shacks and barely any demigods, who are all children because their training sucks such ass that hardly any survive to adulthood. Camp Jupiter is pretty much a military base, and the Roman demigods have an entire city consisting of retired demigods as well as a university.
I see it as a Quality/Quantity matter
It basically explicitly was. Jason was more or less the strongest they had while Percy could literally solo the entirety of the fricking camp if he wanted.
No
*blackpills dragon away*
I wonder, if the Percy show is a big success will Rick be able to walk back on the [redacted] thing he said without getting shot by Disney?
>Harry Potter remake
>Twilight remake
>Percy Jackson show
Nah. I'm good dawg.
What the frick
Is Maximum Ride good
Only the graphic novels which are still unfinished for some reason
I read it in middle school and enjoyed it. It was one of the first times I can recall wanting to actually jump into a book and beat the shit out of someone.
Starts good, turns into a dumpster fire later on
>Skullduggery Pleasant
Nice knowing I'm not the only one who read this
Skulduggery Pleasant was kino (at least the original series), though I guess it's more limited to British/Irish readers
I'm glad Derek Landy finally broke into Marvel
I had a strange dream about this book series and I've never even read it
Tell us anon. Maybe its profetic
I was back in high school holding some hard cover book. "Percy Jackson and the monster of callisto" in scary red letters. The front cover was Percy being...erotically tortured by a woman with red octopus hair (like cala maria olin cuphead) and the back was him writhing on the ground with a giant bruise on his spine. I had to run around hiding that shit in my jacket, anyone seeing it would spell trouble... idk man it was some real creepypasta shit
Oh damm, Leo better put a leash on his gf
Callisto is the nymph who gets bed tricked by zeus then turned into a boar, not sure she's in the half blood verse
True but anon said Leo and last I heard Leo and Calypso were together.
Don’t care about /misc/cope
I want tight smart black e-girl pussy
Tomorow you will trip and die
Then Hazel Levesque is the girl for you.
God imagine Zang’s face when he realizes his southern Black person gf wants big white wiener and not his tiny Asian tic tac dick
I’d give her a mulatto and leave her in the ghetto on welfare like the rest of the Black folk
>on welfare
Her power is literally able to create gems. She doesn't need Uncle Sam. If anything, if she was moronic baboon, the world economy in PJ would crash with her flooding the market.
>just lmao
I can hear the tears hitting his keyboard
your gods will never be real nor will they ever be your parents kyle from north dakota
>y-your gods will never be real
Not only are they as real as Yahweh, they are superior and White. Not impotent and israeli.
Shouldn’t you be on Cinemaphile making religious debate threads and posting shitty wojacks?
Every moment christianity becomes less and less White. Enjoy your brothers in christ Hector Garcia Lopez the Third and Tyrone Quantivius Washington.
That’s nice
Back to the thread at hand why the FRICK did Rick have Reyna join the hunters? Complete waste of a character’s potential.
Because strong wahmen or something. Rick hasn’t been trying for a long, long time.
But she could have had me
Anon I..
Because Percy was taken by Annabeth and Reyna had just lost second best. Now she's banging his eternally 15 year old sister.
Didn't Jason's girlfriend dump him after Heroes of Olympus? If she just waited a bit, Reyna could have had him.
She dumped him then became a dyke
>became a dyke
Gods I wish. Built to be some femme's butch gf.
We’re talking about Piper you stupid troon
>Rick made her asexual became coomers were harassing him about her and who is fricking her
MANY SUCH CASES
>MANY SUCH CASES
Oh my lord I didn't realize it before but it all makes sense now.
Yeah Piper after we're in her head for an entire book series randomly became a lesbian. Bad enough that she ruined the Gaia fight now this.
AHHHH FRICK I WAS GETTING REYNA AND PIPER ALL MIXED UP. FRICK. FRICK!
Also kids of Aphrodite being bi is the most 'well yeah' thing in the series.
That's legitimate admittedly.
There should be zero (0) homosexuals, bisexuals, or genderfluid homosexuals of any variety in the series or irl
Every single mention of them makes the stories worse
Oh? You think I'm going to argue with you? No. I disagree with you, but there is no convincing you to agree with me, and you can't convince me to agree with you. So.
Kys
One of the things I liked about Aphrodite in Percy Jackson was how she was constantly changing appearance from one beautiful woman to another
Or at least, she appeared to the beholder as their ideal woman. I forget which it is.
Y'think she can turn into a furry? Since she seems like what the viewer finds attractive
No, because she's obviously humanoid
Now piss off
She chooses to be humanoid. If gods can turn into light and shit, Aphrodite can be a big tit fox
Yeah but Aphrodite told me she thinks furgays are disgusting subhumans while we were having sex last night
That was me in disguise, I will poop your semen into a cyclopes to give you a moron baby
Yeah yeah
Didn't she look like an older Annabeth to Percy in that limo?
Yes, and a super model, and a teacher he had a crush on
Imagine if she'd looked like Sally too
Shouldn’t have outted yourself you gooning degenerate pedophile filth
Now if you'll excuse me I have a Gwen thread to go too.
Sir. Where do you think you are?
I think Neil Patrick Harris made a few mafia debts he can’t normally pay off and won’t ask his card shark little brother for help because and very sarcastically muh Rose Woods. That was a bday present for a contrarian loner Neilio. So what? Looking @ something player? I have my own reasons Silver Arrow!
>the world is in your hand negative man
I was surprised too!
Aphrodite wasn’t bi in the myths so no, it doesn’t make sense. Aphrodite was all about beauty and lust and how it could control men. She wasn’t the god of gays.
>The Goddess of Love's kids are bi
>This is unbelievable to anon
Tell me, how new are you? Have you been getting dopamine all day from finally being able to say naughty words that you'd never say irl?
There’s no such thing as homosexual love
Love is between a man and woman, moron. Read the myths, coomer. Aphrodite had nothing to do with homosexualry.
Lorewise, doesn't Piper become a dyke specifically to spite Aphrodite because she thinks her mom was trying to pressure her into a 'normal' heterosexual relationship or something?
All of these women would desire me romantically.
>“Shut up, idiot! Quit joking around, this is serious. I took a test, and I just found out I’m pregnant. How are we going to hide this from Lady Artemis now? Frick, I knew I shouldn’t have let you take the condom off for your birthday you fricking moron! I hate you.
>"Alright look Apollo owes me a favor we've got time. I just need a bogus quest to find a israelite in tartarus and ask how the hell you pass something off as a virgin birth..."
The West/East thing is moronic. They aren't separate civilizations anymore, they're latching on to the biggest western fish, there's no reason to keep it, especially since both camps don't know about the other.
Honestly the implication seems to be less that it's a normal thing and more that whatever the frick they did to glue themselves to Western civilization is what actually caused the Greek-Roman split, since no other deities that were reinterpreted do the same thing [Odin for example has like 20 variations by culture, some way bigger than the Greco-Roman split] and this is just how they try to micromanage the problems that come from it and everything else is made up faff and bullshit.
>Odin has like 20 variations
Tbf all Aryan-descended peoples have variations of the same god/gods, the similarities are just more pronounced with the greeks and romans
>Aryan
You know Germanics aren't actually Aryan right?
LIke /misc/ memes and shitposting aside, you do know that literally the only Aryans in Europe were the fricking gypsies, right?
Nordic and Germanic cultures were almost completely unrelated to the Aryans, who trace back to like, Bronze Age India/Persia.
I think the Celts are unironically more closely related though the Scotia link and the fact that they lived near the Med for longer.
You know how the name 'Egypt' actually referred to one city? But now it's used for the whole thing? Are we wrong for saying Egypt and referring to the entire country?
Really?
It was definitely moronic and didn’t even make any sense. Greek/Roman gods are literally the same but with different names. I also fricking hated how Camp Jupiter was just better than Camp Half-Blood. Like, if this was always the case, (it wasn’t because Rick didn’t start the series with the Romans in mind) then why didn’t the Greeks try to improve the camp to Roman level? We all know how jealous and petty the Greek gods are, no way they’d be fine with having their kids live in a shanty town while the Romans lived in paradise.
Does Artemis and Thalia do sister/sister stuff like Elsa and Anna?
No she has a secret boyfriend at camp she fricks behind Artemis’ back
>“Uhh, what? Sacrifice part of my meal to my parent? Chiron, Christ is Lord, and I’m hungry so how about you frick off.”
This is what Rick did with the paki but actually funny
>NOOO I AM THE SON OF G-
>ACKKKKK
And then the Romans began to worship the dead israelite they had killed.
And their Empire collapsed lmao
Literally every empire in history has collapsed
>NOOOOOO I AM THE SON OF ZEUS YOU CA-
>ACK
Wolverine is the son of Zeus?
>Be Athena
>Supposed goddess of wisdom
>Be extremely petty and stupid most of the time
>Turn a woman into a spider monster that will specifically hunt your children for eternity because she made better tapestries than you
>Turn another woman into a horrible snake monster because she was fricked in your temple by another god
Why is she like this? I don’t like how Rick never really ripped into Athena for not really embodying wisdom.
>s-she’s white and based totally better than that israelite god Jesus who freely offers me salvation
The Greek gods were more innately illogical forces of nature wearing people skin. Imagine talking chimps. Athena was the wisest shit-flinger.
>thread finally hit bump limit
I'm amazed this could get to 500 posts tbh.
It was fun reminiscing about these series I haven't read in over a decade
Percy Jackson was unironically most zoomers childhood. And of course it got pozzed to hell and back so that lead to a lot of discussion about how much we hate Rick Riordan.
Same, genuinely surprising how chill and civil the thread managed to be until just a couple posts before.
Im so proud of myself. Migh make another in a month after the show drops. It will be saucy. Also thst way I will have time to binge all this Roman, Apollo and new Percy shit that has come out. Also Kane
make a Kane Chron one next
Yeah do this
Shit's fun, and hey, they had comics, it's Cinemaphile.
Good thread anon.
Bro, I’m doing you a favor: don’t read the Roman or Apollo books. They are truly abysmal and will pies you off.
I don’t really like Kane Chronicles or Magnus Chase but they aren’t nearly as offensive as those other two series.
Dont worry anon. I have spent the last 10 years exclussively consuming the scourge of the earth(isekai web novels) in literal tens of thousands. I will be fine 😉
Read Kane, read the crossover shorts, skip the rest
Read the Romans, not as good but its context
It's because talking about a board's topic on the board itself is fricking impossible so everyone was legitimately excited and happy to talk about it and have a real conversation without a bunch of shitposting or fronting constantly.
It's an accepted fact that the best discussion for a certain topic on one board is best found in off-topic threads on other boards.
I like to think of it as Anon's Law
Black person you don’t even sacrifice or pray to “your gods” you’re just an edgy larper stirring shit up on the wrong board
being fair most christians haven't actually read the bible so the level of intellectual honesty here is about the same when you get down to it.
Making stealth YA novel threads is honestly a great idea. Cinemaphile does the same with light novels in their isekai threads. Tho it wouldn't be necessary if Cinemaphile was a real functional board....
Last for Artemis golden hymen blood
Apparently in mythology, Artemis is canonically voluptuous. One hell of a sight to see before being turned into a stag
Oof. Yk, If Rick didn't constantly chicken out of the Percy toppling the pantheon thing, it would be funny if all the gods lost their powers and Artemis inmediatly started crying and fricking cause her own myth was metaphiycally chaining her into a life of celibacy she has been regretting since centuries ago.
I will make a Greek series one day and the MC will bang Artemis. It is a crime that this has never happened in any media.
Anyways, frick Rick. See you when the Disney+ show comes out and is a dumpster fire.
Will the MC be a hunter like Orion, how will he deal with Artemis's angry brother Apollo?
Rick should make demi-titans a thing
I'm surprised there weren't any, now that you mention it
Before we part ways. i gotta ask you all. How many of you are men, and how many of you are women?
I'm non-binary
Chick
Cosplay as annabeth and have my sons
I'm a guy
And I'm awfully suspicious of the two replies you've gotten already
Dude here.
Dude
Well Cinemaphile it's been fun. I'll see the thread off with a final statement. Percy should have stayed on the fricking island, and also I wanna plow Bast. Thank you and goodnight.
