Do y’all know what flop means because Percy is doing extremely well on Disney+ the viewership is great and it already surpassed Loki viewership becoming Disney+ highest rated show and Percy Jackson was the most streamed original television series across all platforms in the United States during the weeks of January 28, 2024, and February 4, 2024. That’s not a flop you might not enjoy the series but it’s definitely not a flop.
That's fair, I meant flop more in my own personal expectations of the series but you're right the show has been doing phenomenally well since its release
I too am a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series, it was one of the best book series I've read in a long time. Funny enough, I was introduced to this universe through the movies, which I actually liked at the time. I though the premise of Greek Mythologu is modern day was so cool. Then, once I realized they were based on a book series, naturally I decided to read them, which was when it occured to me how shitty the movies were. So ofc, I was excited for this new TV Show, especially cuz the author was involved so I had high hopes. Needless to say, those hopes were shut down pretty fast. Most of the changed were so dumb and basically made the entire story unrecognizable. But my biggest issue is how not even half the actors that were cast looked like the characters from the books they were portraying. This might not matter to some people, but it really does for me. When I read a book and a character is described in a certain way, I expect to see that on-screen. The Harry Potter Movies, at least, got most of that right.
I think its a good introduction to the books. Like how its better to watch the Harry Potter movies before you read the books because the books have more. Sadly my introduction to the books were the movies, so honestly I'm thankful that at least if people are interested in the series they can watch the show first and if they like it they can check out the books, rather than watch the movies, see everyone hate on them, and read the books to find out why.
If you would read the other comment you would see that she's using "flop" as in "it sucked" And she's right It's the wrong use of the word but she did clarify what she means

Yet it got 13.3 million watches during the premiere so ur silenced
