Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023)
So much exposition...am I stupid?
At first I let it go because I thought they just wanted to move the story to the central plot but then they kept doing it and it started pissing me off. Do they think the audiance is this stupid that they wouldn't understand what's happening?
I've seen so many people defend the show by saying it's made for kids...well newsflash!!! THE BOOKS WERE WRITTEN FOR KIDS TOO.
What's worse is that most of the exposition could easly be fixed with longer episodes. If the show spent less budget on the ending animation (which I do like but it gets old after a few watches) and replaced it with five more minutes of storytelling, e.g. Love boat spiders, montage of them having fun at the casino or getting trapped and defeating Crusty the show would have half as many critiques.
This show REALLY had everything going for it - an abundance of material, a blueprint of how not to adapt the story (sadly at this point the movies is a much better watch), the author's imput, a big budget - and yet they still managed to ruin it.
