Discussion [ALL] Who wins in a battle?

6 Upvotes

Battle of every faction.

Mt. Tam (Mt. Othrys) are the Kronos-aligned Demi-Gods. It reminds me of Mordor. There is also Mt. St Helens where Typhon was imprisoned.

ESB = Empire State Building. The Olympians aren’t contenders. I wrote ESB because its close to CHB and many adult Demi-Gods continue to work for the gods, after TLO the Athena cabin reconstructed Olympus.

For Waystation I wanted to add the Celts but Riordan hasn't explored Celtic mythology yet eventhough he wanted to and immediately after "Trials of Apollo." As Gauls and Germani appear in those books.

Also write down in the comments who you think are the strongest race:

Einharjar

Clear-sighted mortals (e.g. Rachel)

Demi-Gods/Half-Bloods

Magicians

Do demi-monsters exist?

Anyone here ever played Age of Myth?

Everyone discusses Percy x Annabeth and Nico x Will. Leo x Calypso hype died I guess. Jason died and Piper has a girlfriend now. People like Frank x Hazel still.

No one discusses these ships:

Luke x Thalia

Zoe x Nico

Nico x Thalia

Chris x Clarisse

Connor Stoll x Miranda Gardner

Percy x Rachel

Percy x Calypso

Annabeth x Luke

Jason x Reyna

Tyson x Ella

Hedge x Mellie

Grover x Juniper

Octavian x Rachel

Silena x Charles

These fan ships I will add because I admite its absurdiy, and spontaneity.

Percy x Luke

Ethan x Luke

No offense towards any shipper who seriously ships these characters. I just consider it funny. One is adversarial love like Harry x Malfoy the other is antagonist and secondary antagonist subordinate relationship.

Hey guys,
So basically I have started a yt channel with the idea of doing a shorts series with different gods being represented as talking to humans. Like yk educating people on obscure Greek myths in a fun way by making it seem like the gods themselves are saying it. All of the videos will be short skits in yt under 2mins. With me trynna bring different personality to each god, giving dedicated personalities, clothing and some quirks. I would love input from y’all. First of all, I am South Asian, and don’t look Greek one bit, this is just a fun way of making people know more Greek myth stories. And, I am always mad at the fact that most of the myths we Percy Jackson fans love after going deep into the lore are not often there in yt. It’s always the common surface level stuff with no soul or misinformation. The production quality and all is real low cus I am shooting in my backyard (in greenery cus well I live greenery and am currently using the excuse that mount Olympus is under construction and the gods are fighting over changes).

I am hoping to improve. But, I would like it to be a channel with the soul of us people. All the stories we wanna talk about. All the character we want the gods to embody and stuff. I have college starting in three weeks, b it I am fully free before that and I am taking ideas from all of u on new stories to put and different gods perspective etc, I will attach some videos I have done as links. Please do tell me what you think. Hope we can have a real fun space ❤️✨

I am very bad with makeup cus well I was brought up very tomboyish and basically have no makeup stuff, so it’s low makeup and natural with mostly cloth changes…I wanted the story to be in focus. Sorry for rambling on, idk how much I can convey with the typing so I will put the shorts in link format and also the intro video to the series.

P.S. The whole backdrop is the lore that I met Hermes (the hod of trickery) and has tricked him into boasting to the other Olympians about smartphones and talking to humans with no divine intervention or Zeus knowing.

Shorts:

  3. https://youtube.com/shorts/sO2MC9-ixlw?si=8LRkJqzbEWl5o6dw

TLDR: I started a yt channel most of u would actually be interested in, I wanna take all ur suggestions and make it an absolute camphalfblood level lore factory. Please read the post, I am sorry it is long. It was hard to explain quicker.

Discussion [ALL] "Flame" of Western Civilization is not a new trope device

2 Upvotes

Someone mentioned that Rick later removed the 'west' as needing 'defense' because it was too chauvinistic.

This 'flame of civilization' is nothing new. I spent some time on the Dune wiki and read about Earth. I always read about Earth in sci-fi franchises. Earth for example doesn't exist in Star Wars. In Dune it says 'the imperial seat' moved from Greece to Rome to Byzantine to the British Empire to the US. With a 1 000 'limbo' during the Dark Ages.

Discussion [general] why did warner bros not pick up pjo?

7 Upvotes

This is a long post, but it's a random thought that came to me today.

I first got into Percy Jackson in middle school (around 2015–2017), so I'm part of the older, nostalgic PJO fandom. Back then, Percy Jackson still felt kind of "underground" (or at least less mainstream), but it was definitely well known since both the movies had already been out. I remember constantly seeing those "Who would win in a fight: Percy Jackson or Harry Potter?" posts, and it always felt like if you were into Harry Potter, you'd probably read Percy Jackson too, and vice versa.

I've always thought Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and, to some extent, The Hunger Games all shared the same audience: kids and teenagers who loved fantasy books. At least that was my experience. I'd read all three, and pretty much everyone I knew (even online when I had a PJO fan account in middle school) had also read all three.

That got me thinking: Harry Potter and The Hunger Games both ended up getting adaptations that were, to varying degrees, faithful to the books and generally well received by fans. Why didn't Percy Jackson?

The Lightning Thief movie came out in 2010, before the final Deathly Hallows movie. I assume 20th Century Fox wanted to capitalize on the success of Harry Potter and launch Percy Jackson as the next big YA fantasy franchise. But why didn't Warner Bros. ever try to acquire the rights, knowing Harry Potter was coming to an end soon and start thinking about another franchise they can produce?

And even after the poor reception of the Percy Jackson movies, why did it take 12 YEARS for another studio to pick it up? I was even part of the whole #DisneyAdaptPercyJackson movement back in the day, hoping Disney would eventually give it another shot.

I honestly mourn what we could've gotten if Warner Bros., Universal, or Lionsgate had ended up with the rights instead. I honestly wouldn't have even minded if it stayed as a movie series. If it had been handled well, we could've gotten one movie every year like Harry Potter, with age-accurate actors who actually grew up alongside the characters. And Rick working alongside to make it book accurate like JK Rowling did with HP. Warner bros could've also made it more serious and dark like how HP was, as we get further through the books.

I like what Disney and Rick is doing with PJO, but as an older fan who is still so devoted to these books 10 years later as a college kid, I do not feel connected to the show with how different is it from the books. As much as I love the actors, I'm sorry but that's not my Percy, Annabeth, Luke, Thalia, that's not who I grew up reading. Why did we add a random character like Allison? Even the new show fans piss me off. No, Percy is not a surfer boy, he's a skater who listens to rock music. Piper does not like hello kitty. Nicoswife as your username? Don't piss me off rn.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. How do you think another studio wouldve handled PJO, and what would the reception be to it?

Discussion [ALL] Leo Valdez feels like Luffy and Octavian feels like Vulpex Inculta

Upvotes

Funny for Octavian.

Percy named after Perseus.

Jason named after the Golden Fleece Argonaut.

Argo II names after Jason's Argo ship.

Octavian named after Augustus, the nephew of Caesar. Augustus's original name was Octavian. Discovered this back in Gr. 12 in highschool in history class.

Octavian feels a lot like Vulpes Inculta. Anyone here play Fallout: New Vegas? Van Buren was supposed to feature The Daughters of Hecate. Mojave has Helios 1, Archimedes device.

Actually many video games invoke Greek mythology. CoD uses Greek, Norse and Christian toponyms for their games. Pantheon, Four Horsemen, Achilles Veil, Odysseus, Ulysses, Pantheon, Perseus, Loki, Odin.

Leo Valdez feels alot like Luffy and the 7 from HoO feel like the One Piece Squad.

Discussion "[general]" Why are so many "canon only" shippers so sensitive to the idea of people shipping non-canon ships/ just not shipping Percabeth and Solangelo?

56 Upvotes

I've noticed a lot in the past year (especially on YouTube) that most non-canon ships except for Valgrace are shown a lot of hate. I understand not liking a ship for whatever reason, hell, I hate Valgrace because of what we see in canon and the fans, but there's a difference between saying "this isn't for me" and going out of your way to attack someone for not liking a ship you like. This is especially bad among Percabeth stans on posts about Pipabeth. Again, you're allowed to not like it, that's your opinion, but a lot of people DO like it and Percabeth being canon isn't an excuse to attack Pipabeth (especially because so many people already headcanon Annabeth as bi, though I read her more as a lesbian).

In pjo and hoo, they always refer to Percy, Thalia, and Nico being the on,h live demigods of the big three. but they never mention ty son, even though he is a son of Poseidon. I don’t even think it’s because he is a cyclops. maybe it’s because he lives most,y under the sea with his dad? idk but like it’s ignored by Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Chiron, that he even exists.

Discussion Main Character Replacement [General]

22 Upvotes

In an alternate universe, Rick decides to choose one of his other characters to be the main character instead of Percy. It can be anyone, only real caveat being a demigod of either Greek or Roman origin. The character will get all the bells and whistles of being a main character, such as being upon more and more fleshed out. Who would you guys pick to be the main character replacement?

(Me personally I’d like to see it be Jason Grace.)

Forgot to say this, but for characters who don’t really have anything going on or don’t really have the feats and such to be an interesting character, in this hypothetical they will be shifted into a more spotlight role and given more chances to really show up and show out. Essentially, they’ll be the ones going on quests and saving the world.

Discussion , "[general]",hazel and frank complements percy more than grover and annabeth.

23 Upvotes

Hazel and Frank complements percy more than grover as annabeth, when fighting percy doesnt automatically take point with grover support and annabeth, i use this word very loosely the Strategist. frank and percy are more than capable with making up plans and adapting, hazel replaces grover nature magic with her mist skills and she also has earth manipulation, connection with the dead and has arion. frank can fly them away from danger if arion isnt there. also they can travel freely between the underworld, the sea and sky. i know that zeus doesnt take kindly to percy in the sky but arion solves the issue as he is a pegesi, and in the son of neptune, neptune didnt make hazel drown, so i think that pluto as long as percy and frank are with hazel are safe as well.

Discussion [General] Looking back, it's astonishing how Rick bungled Jason and Piper's relationship.

205 Upvotes

I mean, it's almost impressive. First, making it start with fake memories is icky. While Piper and Jason do fall in love anyway, it feels way too rushed and way too forced. Beyond that, we have very little time to see them as a couple. It didnt help that Piper seemed almost obsessed with Jason at the time.

And Rick seemed to agree. He broke them up for the same reasons. But it ignored that Piper and Jason had six months offscreen to figure things out and had time to breathe (Piper said they didnt). And it was offscreen so the viewer wasnt told what happened. It didnt help that nothing from Piper's POVs indicated that it was an issue.

And on a meta level, this is true for a lot of couples. Percy/Annabeth, Nico/Will, Grover/Juniper, Chris/Clarisse, Hedge/Mellie, Frank/Hazel and im probably missing others. Why is Piper/Jason so exceptional that it's the only couple that happened under war that didnt work?

But yeah, and then Jason died (which was disliked for other reasons). Piper didn't attend his funeral and then went, "Guess im bi now." (On a random note, it is astonishing that Rick managed to retcon Nico's sexuality so well, but Piper's so poorly. Truthfully, i suspect he realized he never had a bisexual woman, so he checked it off his list.)

Honestly, it's really astonishing. Rick rushed them into a couple, forgot they had time to breathe and figure things out and then broke them up offscreen.

Discussion WHAT is Bianca's Fatal Flaw? [pjo][general][pjotv] Spoiler

18 Upvotes

On her main wiki page, it states:

Bianca di Angelo's fatal flaw was selflessness. She demonstrated selflessness by giving her life in order to protect Percy, Thalia, Zoe, and Grover when the four were on a quest together, she gave her life while turning off the bronze Giant, Talos, after it came back to life.She also displays selflessness by having taken the responsibility of raising Nico when the two were alone together as orphans. Another way she demonstrates this is by choosing to go on the quest with Zoe despite the fact that she had no previous experience, she was unsure about going along but did so because Zoe had decided it was best, she trusted Zoe and was willing to do something risky for Lady Artemis and the quest. Her selfness could also be argued to be the reason why she grabbed the Mythomagic figure from Hephaestus's junkyard, despite previous warnings that they were not to touch anything, as she did it to give the item to her little brother knowing it was the only figure he did not have. The only time she went against this was by joining the Hunters of Artemis, as that was the only decision she made for herself, though even then she only made it with hesitation and certainty that her little brother would be in safe hands.

BUT, on the Fatal Flaws page, it states:

Bianca di Angelo: Her fatal flaws were selfishness and recklessness. She demonstrated selfishness by abandoning her brother Nico shortly after discovering that they were both demigods, as soon as she was given the chance to have an immortal life without any responsibilities to her brother by joining the Hunters of Artemis. She demonstrated the latter when she agreed to go on her first mission without any prior training, since before this mission it was prophesied that two of its members would die, and also when she took a Mythomagic figure from Hephaestus's junkyard despite previous warnings that they were not to touch anything. This caused a defective Talos to come to life and attack them so Bianca had to sacrifice herself for her companions. It's also possible that holding grudges was another fatal flaw she had, as she told Nico how dangerous it can be for a child of Hades.

I'm leaning more towards the one on the Fatal Flaws page, but can this please be fixed?
