The Riordan Autism

[ArthuriusMartyrius]

Not that anyone probably gives a fuck but trailers have been coming out.

Not that I ever had any hope of the casting working out but seeing it in action makes it even more clear how painfully bad it is. The girl playing Annabeth especially stands out, she looks like she should be playing Grover's bratty little sister instead.

I hardly even recognize the characters. Nobody looks how they're supposed to. What a disgrace.

They really couldn’t help themselves, could they? Kind of interesting that they made Zeus black considering his characterization in the Apollo series as an abusive prick.

 

[Overly Serious]

The book was unique in that it blended both mythical elements with a modern setting, especially for young middle grade readers

That's not unique. That's very far from unique. Hell, I remember reading "Eight Days of Luke" by Dianna Wynne Jones when I was tiny and that had Norse gods walking amongst man. I could probably come up with a dozen examples just from my own childhood reading.

I like when these man-hating amazon types recognise when they are wrong. Guess having that sort of arc is just not happening anymore.

That just sounds like a turning lesbians fantasy with a moral philosophy spin.

Besides, you can't do a functional amazonian aesthetic in this media landscape, it is foundationally a 'natural order flipped on it head' concept, so it can't work where that order is already rejected.
Also, I find Camile Paglia's proposition that amazons are just ancient greek porn to be pretty compelling, given how the concept has been engaged with throughout artistic history.

I remember reading an article that says productions that invest in racial diversity tend to make an little bit more cash. But there's an lot of shit about this that just felt an little bit weird, mainly with the decision to make the kids younger

That and if you know anything about Greek Mythology you'd know Zeus is a prolific rapist and sex pest. And I never read the Apollo series, but he was probably made a prick like that to acknowledge what he's like in a way that's more appropriate for the audience.

 

[The handsome tard]

I remember how the movies got flack for Annabeth not having gray eyes like in the books
By Zeus, I wonder how they will manuever around THIS Annabeth

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

They already were portrayed that way. The change will be that it's shown as a good thing rather than a trait that makes them unlikable.

God, they're going to absolutely butcher Zoe, aren't they? She was my favorite character when I was a kid because she admitted to being wrong about men at the end of her arc, but I just can't see that being kosher in current year.

I find it odd when the Amazon’s hate men, they’re the Children of Ares and basically looking for a Giga-Chad who measures up to Ares (Heracles is the only one).
The Breast thing is from one myth and the man hate is from a play. They’re not dykes, they’re daughters of the only God in Greek Myth who seems to actually care about his kids.

Ares is odd in myths because he’s like Hades where there is really nothing about him in myths that are that bad beyond cucking the cuck God multiple times, Zeus hating him for being a potential supplanter, or him losing to a gank squad by Athena and who ever is getting hyped up as the next hot shit Demi-god.

I agree with you on basically all points, but the character I was talking about in the post you quoted is one of Artimis' virgin hunters, not an Amazon. The actual Amazons in Percy Jackson run the Amazon company, but I don't remember much of their portrayal beyond that.

I kinda use this thread to bitch about Greek myths. Riot Dan accepts that post-70s faggottry that was inserted based upon a NAMBLA member being broad about “homoeroticism in pottery” that included people fucking actual women and put forward “Erm, actually Achilles was gay despite him wanting to rape a woman passionately and his emotion towards Patroclus totally want despair at losing his best friend.”

Wait, the "ancient greeks were gay" shit was made up by NAMBLA? I never knew that.

I’m pretty sure either the art professor who said “Oh, I have 5000 images that prove Greeks were gay, come and see my 1000 pictures, these 4 images of Satyrs committing murder rape prove my point” or it was the faggot who alleges that Jonathan and David in the Bible were gay were either both NAMBLA or Radical Faerie members.

The Greeks were gay thing is something that’s been tossed out because even fucking Plato had a dialogue saying “Yeah, no Mentors (who were called Pedrests, but not actually pedos) fucking their students is abusive and we should gut them like a fish if they touch a child”.
It was borne out of the 70’s like Native Americans being really accepting. People were either brain broken by WWII/ The Holocaust or the fags who fled to Academia during WWI and WWII finally got entrenched enough to make bold statements.

Look at the shit-eating grin on that curry skidmark. You don't deserve to be there and you know it. No one wants niggers and poos, which is why diversity hiring legislated their undue prominence.

I hate the whole oppressed / oppressors and minority bullshit, but I don't understand how the rest of the peoples of the world is not recognized as a minority in relation to streetshitters. You can't shit more land but you can shit out a poo baby and infest the world.

Anyway Riordan sucks. Every time he announced a new line based on a new mythology it was redundant. Of course he was going to move on to the next cultural mythology and shit it up; Riordan is like that meme of death knocking on a door, with two previous doors ajar and bloody. Riordan and Disney are why a popular series about a specific nationality's myths now star a nigger, a kraut and a pajeet, no Greek people playing Greek characters, and no appreciable Greek heritage. It's generic white kid/s gets zapped into Baby's First Bullfinch's.

Neither do I but it does make sense, doesnt it?

We truly were the ones that loss WW2, werent we?

I love how the whole "the actor/voice actor gotta be exactly like the character" non-sense doesnt apply when its against them. If its a white person playing another race, its colonialism or whatever but the reverse was progressive. Its white guilt grifting selective garbage.

They keep men around for brute labor and implied sex, all the men are collared and submissive. It was a point of friction between them and the hunters, who would generally rather men didn’t exist at all.

So here's an ancient painting of Zephyrus fucking Hyacinthus. Claiming the Ancient Greeks weren't a bunch of fags is absolutely insane since their own myths and artworks are absolutely full of boy rape and anal sex. Later generations of fags didn't need to make it up.

Spoiler

Yes, Ancient Greeks had ideas on which sort of homosexuality was okay and who it was appropriate to have gay sex with. That doesn't mean they had no gay sex at all, I mean goddamn the Romans had a problem with them since taking it up the ass in Roman society was for slaves.

>here’s one picture this proves Greeks had a wide spread cultural practice of boy rape

Even then I fucking doubt it because the Greeks used the term lovers to imply a student teacher relationship. Maybe that is thigh sex or whatever, but I doubt it.

I'm sure in this vase from 470 BC, Zeus is just showing his dick to Ganymede while grabbing his arm like any normal student teacher relationship.

Spoiler: Gay

You can find hundreds of Ancient Greek paintings of certain deities like Ganymede or Adonis or Hyacinthus getting fucked or grabbing each other's dicks, let alone paintings of two random dudes doing the same thing. And that's not even getting into the poetry and descriptions of gay love, or the fact they were called eromenos, the word obviously relating to eros i.e. sexual love.

 

[Adamska]

There's also the matter that Greeks, particularly the Athenians, often bitched about women so goddamn much that they sometimes would romanticize fucking other men because they aren't women. Because there ain't no shame so long as you weren't playing the woman's role in that particular hook-up.
