Doesnt surprise me since he made a character gay for no reason.

He's worse than Rowling.

Dumbledore being gay is kind of shockingly based. Dumbledore's homosexual relationship with Grindelwald turns Dumbledore evil and causes all sorts of problems, ending in the death of Dumbledore's sister. It's only when Dumbledore becomes celibate and focusses on other pursuits, that he becomes a force for good.

I'm sure that wasn't Rowling's intention, though.

Not to mention The Daily Prophet and Quibbler in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince mirroring the mainstream media and alternative media.

Then she started talking shit when Pewdiepie's "Literally a Nazi" cancellation attempt happened. She almost immediately started running her mouth. Yes, the creator of the Rita Skeeter character -- a middle finger to the shitty journalists who badmouthed her and her kids -- immediately decided to jump on the media hate bandwagon of a person she's never met. Hell, the "villain of the year" in Order of the Phoenix is essentially cancel culture, not even Umbridge.

I mean, Padme Amidala's actress is pro-censorship and government overreach despite her character getting fucked over and literally choked to death - fuck that "died of sadness" bullshit, by the way. Look up "hyoid bone fracture".

Captain America's actor is TDS positive.

These clowns have literally zero self-awareness.

Also keep in mind that almost no one is going to say "They're fucking up this adaptation, don't watch it" because they fear of the bridges being burned. This is also why you don't see actors ever condemning the shitty movies they're in until long after the movie has had its run in the theaters.

with the exception of based hamill 👌 👍

Luckily I was never invested in this IP. I learned about it from the movies and I was reading Malazan Book of the Fallen at the time, is hard to go from that to a teenage drama with greek gods adapted to modern days.

Was he blinking an SOS while reading this with a gun/cancel held to his head?

Then again, his new books have like "genderfluid" characters (aka a shapeshifter girl) and unnecessary homos and shit.

You know I think it's kinda racist to just change the race of existing characters, then tell people who don't like it..that they are the racist. I know, sounds weird. It's almost like there's some kinda gas lighting agenda going on behind the scenes.

Are the books worth reading? If I get them second hand?

The first series is good, if you like Harry Potter and things like that it would be up your alley. The second series has some horrible "Dumbledore is gay" type trash in it. The first series is self-contained as it is, so I say just read that and don't go any further.

I loved the Potter books. How many books is the first series?

Five, but none of them are terribly long from what I can remember (It's been a long time). The first series is called Percy and the Olympians BTW.

I've heard that the first series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is good. I've heard mixed things about the later series's.

The first book was the most blatant Harry Potter rip-off you can imagine.

Worse than that, it was boring.

Honestly, I don’t care anymore. Most modern media is shit and I’ve just turned off of it forever. I now watch older shows and movies on cheap as hell DVDs that are tons better.

It wasn't his decision. Two raceswapped main characters? Yeah ok.

You can see it in his eyes when he is smiling with the actors, he's a broken cuck of a man lol.
