Commenting about the movie adaptations

They took out the main bad guy 3 movies too early!!!

*sea of monsters director aggressively pretends Circe doesn't exist*

Sea of Monsters was an abomination to the cinematic industry as a whole. Shitty Percy Jackson, even shittier movie.

I feel like if some of the fans/Rick Riordan himself were allowed to help work on the movie and guide the directors from fucking it up, it might not have been so bad

If they didn't have shitty effects, shitty acting, shitty script, shitty plot, and shitty shitting, it may have been halfway passable. And the worst part is that every single one of these things didn't need any outside guidance from either fans or Riordan. Script was basic. Effects were cheesy, sort of like Rubber or Sharknado. Acting was lackluster. Static. Actors memorized the script and regurgitated it, not acting it out. And to hell with the fact that the plot didn't even correlate to the books, it was just a shit plot with plot holes and gaps and "how the hell" and "wait woah there's a logic jump".

Lightning Thief was at least passable in these categories.
