The Riordan Autism

[madethistocomment]

It gets worse in book 3 of that shitty trilogy.

The genderfluid freakazoid, Magnus, and TJ all make a Golem (While jamming out to some Anime song *I swear that I didn't make this up*) which is named Pottery Barn who then whispers to Alex about it being non-binary and preferring the pronouns of they / them.

I swear that I took a week long break from the book, and finished it later.

Me, before reading that: Oh, it can't be that bad, can it?

Me, fifteen seconds later:

I remember that the Muslim character in the Norse mythology dismissed the Norse gods as simply being creations of Allah, and one of the Norse gods, I think Heimdall, even agreed with her. It was fucking disgusting and actually insulting, despite Riordan trying to be as woke as possible.

The Magnus Chase series in all honesty is nothing more than Riordan's ultimate woke circlejerk, and his way to apologize for being a "cishet, white male" / make up for all of his Protagonists in the original PJO being whites that were straight along with not being troons.

He needed to show his wokeness and poor saps who bought the book series was either in it for the crossover potential of Percy making a cameo, or those with a love for Norse Mythology bought it because they were expecting to get what the original PJO series had been...Sadly, Riordan decided to rewrite and make the pantheon utter dogshit (Wokeness or Poor Characterization) because he's a burnt-out old man that wasted it.

Tyr in the books is fucking black, and the rest of the Norse Gods agree with Samirah's beliefs at the very end of the series.

Fuck you, Rick.

Remember when Percy brought up God, but they said that would be "too metaphysical".

I don't remember but is Heimdall still black in this version?

I read the first book in middle school and I got offended when cripple Hagrid told sped Harry that his ADD was because he was a greek god and he has autism water powers in return. I was still a young sped myself so I didn't get the full context; I haven't reread the book but I get that it was meant for disabled kids to find their attributes from their unique perspective. But still the tone/humor put me off too, even now.

Spoiler: Off-topic on well written disabled characters imo

One "crippled" character I'm fond of is Emil from Nier. He's not a literal cripple, but there's aspects that 'disabled' people can relate to (hating his body, thinking of himself being a burden etc.) but his character goes a bit further by saying that he finds some pride and individuality from his experience.

I'm sure it wasn't the first time that its been done before (I don't have a good frame of reference, everything is backlog'd) but I personally really loved this scene because its so raw, and its meant to not shine disabled people in a positive or negative light but rather a humanizing one.
last note: I don't care about the diversity meme or want more autistic homos in wheel chairs of negro descent, pls don't mistake me for a tumblrite fujoshit

I do, I also remember Thor challenging Jesus Christ to a duel and he didn't show up for it~

I don't remember but is Heimdall still black in this version?

Tyr is the only one who gets a Race Lift in MCGA, Heimdall is actually still white and isn't blackwashed~ Also, the MCGA series mentions the Marvel Thor and stuff as a joke where Book!Thor comments on how he doesn't understand why mortals think he and Loki are brothers.

But Riordan, your version of Thor is more inaccurate and shittier than Marvel Thor.

Used to read those books. Damn Rick. What the fuck went wrong?

Used to read those books. Damn Rick. What the fuck went wrong?

YA went from "fun books for middle school kids" to being for and by womanchildren who despite being woke are almost always rich and white. Don't get me wrong they have always been there (think of the Livejournal Harry Potter fandom) but once they dominated the genre it became something that mostly appeals to Tumblrites.

Somehow I feel like in this day and age the Kane Chronicles main characters (half white and half black siblings, but one of them looks pretty black and the other one looks pretty white) would be problematic. Not to mention some of the Egyptian gods were white people (iirc, he basically made Anubis an emo white boy)

Especially in a post We Wuz Wakandanz world

Heck, some of the things considered "progressive" 30 years are now "problematic" in their eyes.

I think Kane Chronicles did it rather well. All it really was was one goddess saying something like, “Yeah, the gods over in Manhattan are pretty weird. We don’t bother them, they don’t bother us.” And left it at that. It was more a nod to earlier books than anything.
One book that did it well was American Gods. It set up how the gods actually work and are created and went from there. I highly recommend the book, Neil Gaiman actually took more than the classic Greek, Norse, and Egypt gods most people kind of know about and included some more obscure but fun ones.

Actually it was Amos who said that.

Yeah but it just makes things awfully confusing when you consider the grand scheme. For example, are there multiple afterlives/underworlds? (There are a version of it for each pantheon)

If I recall correctly, the one that had the most influence to you was the one you went to.

Except for one part in The Lightning Thief. A preacher gets sent to the underworld for some reason.

Also fuck Trials of Apollo they killed off Jason.

Jason Grace? Seriously??? Jesus fucking Christ. Imagine killing off one of your few likable new characters in your shittiest series yet to date (where the whole plot seems to be "lmao apollo is mortal now and flamboyantly gay and that will defenitely make up for his total lack of personality outside of being gay and vain and snarky") just to give the main character some bullshit, undeserved angst.

It seems like every new relevation just gets worse and worse. God, I wish Rick had stopped writing after he finished up the Kane Chronicles.

What the fuck? This is the most ridiculous example of "progressive kowtows to Islam out of being terrified of being called Islamophobic or even of Muslims themselves".

I almost want to see for myself but seeing excerpts talking about Alex's gender was already pure adulterated cringe. The worst part wasn't even the genderspecial shit, it was the fact that it was genderspecial shit as portrayed by a boomer trying to be hip with the kids.

I don't get it.

Yeah. I fucking hated it man. The reunion of Thalia and Jason was my favorite part of The Lost Hero, and Riordan pulls that bullshit?

Why? I wanted him and Piper to live happily ever after.

Dude, for me, he should have stopped at the Last Olympian
Going into this shared universe route was a fucking mistake, an alternative universe would have been way better.

I don't get it.

I meant is if that was a stab a Christianity or maybe at those scam preachers that use others?

And you know how it is, kill off the superior characters so that the shitty ones can shine.

It was certainly something like that.

Personally, I found Jason to be fairly bland even if his concept was interesting from the start.

Even if I didn't like his character much, what Rick did was more or less trying to cover his ass for the Blood of Olympus fiasco after he used a super Deus ex Machina to prevent Leo from dying and fucking up the stakes so bad it pissed some people.

Though considering how much of his fanbase is Tumblrites more than ever and Rick himself being a woke pansy, there would be a lotta tard rage over "KILLING A POC, ESPECIALLY A LATINO!" so he chose the next option to kill off because it never would be Percy, since that's just suicide in the making at the hands of those loons.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

Kane Chronicles and the original Percy Jackson series start at B tier and end at A tier. Heroes of Olympus starts at c tier but works it’s way up to B. The Norse trilogy starts out at B tier but devolves to D tier. Trials of Apollo is just bad.

The magnus chase series became all about Alex the magically genderfluid Einherjar and their insufferable smugness about being woke. The author had to end the series with magnus

Spoiler

making out with Alex while they were in peenerform.

The audiobook series went through 3 narrators with Kieran Culkin being the best despite talking waaaay too fast.

It shouldve gone the DCU route where their are multiple pantheons but at diferent levels of the hierarchy (Old Gods, New Gods, the lantern corps embodiments, Demons and Angels, Highfather and Darkseid, Specter, Multiversal Beings, the Endless, and the Presence at the very top)
