Thanks for opening the new thread.

Bringing my last post over from the old thread.

Funnily the main theme of the movie was written by a scottish musician a year prior to the film's release and was meant as a celtic/gaelic warrior anthem, but they chose it as the native american warrior anthem and it actually fitted perfectly well lol.

Thanks for the new one!

NP!

It does sound kind of scottish now that I've listened to it a few times. But I could also see it fitting perfectly in a movie about Native Americans...it's kind of weird

Happy weekend everyone!

Yes the movie is on netflix apparently if you wanna see it one day.

Watching the finale of s1 of Percy Jackson.

It was such a great finale to end a great season

Thanks for the new thread

Yes story-wise I thought it was great also visually, and casting-wise.

But I must complain a little bit about the action scenes, throughout most of the show the characters never felt in real danger like when they met medusa or also in the end now, the fight scenes feel a bit lackluster. And i mean they had a decent budget actually. But I feel the movie did that aspect much better, be it the medusa scene or the hydra scene or the final fight with the "waterbending" It just felt more exiting in the film and just felt more epic.

Though the film never was as good when it comes to character development or general story.

**gold-steps** · 02-03-2024, 08:22 PM

I loved the show so much! The characters were soooo much better and way truer to the books.

I watched the BTS of them doing the fight scenes and they put SO much work into them and all of the actors seemed so into it. I wonder if Disney+ wanted to tone it down a bit.

**Arrakis** · 02-03-2024, 10:46 PM

You mean bc they wanted to make it more for kids? Yes possibly, though I'd find that a bit weird.

**gold-steps** · 02-04-2024, 07:05 PM

Yeah and because the actors are a little younger? But I just checked and the movie and show both have a PG rating so actually I wouldn't think that would be a big deal..

**Arrakis** · 02-04-2024, 11:00 PM

Who knows.

New Taylor album!

**pink velvet** · 02-06-2024, 06:27 AM

I'm so happy!! She's always feeding us

I had no qualms about the fighting in the series, but I guess I was just vibing

I enjoyed watching a show that wasn't stressing me out much.

**Arrakis** · 02-06-2024, 10:54 AM

I mean i def agree about the part that it was not stressing. It was pretty chill in a way.

**gold-steps** · 02-06-2024, 09:12 PM

Yeah that was kind of nice to have a more chill show. Though it did teach me that I need to re-read the books. There were way too many times in the show where I was like "omg what's going to happen" because I haven't read the book since I was like 12 and I had forgotten. The experience could have been far less stressful for me

I lowkey thought Taylor was going to announce a re-record but was pleasantly surprised to hear a new album! I am excited.
