Does anyone here even like PJOTV?

I already know I’m going to get flamed for this… but I don’t care. Does ANYONE in this subreddit actually enjoy the show? If not… why waste your breath here? I feel like I see the same complaints rehashed over and over again… and for what?

To top it all off… whenever someone DOES say something positive about the show, I feel like I can see the tomatoes being thrown. They get mauled in the comments! It feels like there’s no space to discuss the show itself… only room to complain.

I’ve been a huge PJO fan for almost 15+ years now. I vividly remember the HoO books coming out and devouring them in a matter of days. I ran a Clarisse cosplay account, for Christ sake! Sure, the TV show is different… but I genuinely love it. I grew up with this universe, and it brings me such joy to see these characters come to life. It may not unfold the exact same way, but at its core, it’s the same hero’s journey I fell in love with. And IMO, despite the differences, the show really does stay true to the spirit of the source material. They’re still the same characters, just written a bit differently for a different medium/generation.

Now, don’t get me wrong… I’m not saying that people can’t dislike the show—everyone is entitled to their opinion, and there’s some solid, justified critiques of the show (pacing/ep. length biggest the biggest one imo). But I just don’t quite understand being apart of a subreddit with the sole purpose to complain. Maybe I just need to find another one of fans of the show… (which, in that case, does anybody got any recs?)

Edit: If you took from this post that I think everyone needs to praise the hell out of the show... maybe read again? My point is I don’t understand the point of joining a sub about a show if you can’t find ANY redeeming qualities of said show, and will fight with people who enjoy it. Never did I say the show is above criticism, because it’s not. Argue with the wall!
