2025’s Percy Jackson is awful..
First episode In and from loving the original movies, this is genuinely the temu version.. OFF the bat the introduction at the museum was horribly rushed introducing the first villain and his powers, NO BUILD UP and no suspense. His vision of words shifting just looks like a filter i could’ve used off an IOS app, AND to top it off you mean to tell me an ancient magical sword forming from a pen is going to be a $2 plastic ink pen?? “THIS IS A PEN!” like come onn. The step dad’s acting was just not convincing at all either. The transition with Grover and just made me upset like what is this, I know it’s the younger version of them but like bro. I’m sitting here shouting at the screen saying all this lmao. If you’re gonna give a try at rebooting-least give SOME homage to what made the first ones good. Thank you for my Ted talk.
