See, A Gossip Girl Reboot Was Not A Terrible Idea.

See, a Gossip Girl reboot was not a terrible idea.

It would've been interesting to see these rich high schoolers in their bubble surrounded by the modern world.

It would've been like a young Succession, arrogant teens doing stupid things and not understanding why their morals are wrong.

But THE WRITING....

Because of the writing, we got....whatever this was.

I saw somebody say that watching the Percy Jackson show made them realize that in the first books Percy doesn't even say half the stuff he thinks and he's just a quiet kid silently judging everyone, like they're so right.

Think about it from Grover's perspective. You know Percy as a quiet boy who certainly has his judgy thoughts but (aside from telling them to you) keeps them to himself. He's just trying to make it through school, for his mom.

Then his mom dies. And he loses the ability to give absolutely any fucks. He starts saying all this shit he never said out loud and to people who could do infinitely worse things to him than anything Nancy Bobifit ever even tried. And it only gets worse as he gets older.

Like bro went from quiet kid in the back of the class to fist fighting a god in the span of like a week. Then he openly told the gods to pay their child support. Grover was having heart attacks every other minute.

God I miss this show so much I miss Malec with all my heart, bless this show.

I think it's been long enough to admit that S1 was far from perfect.

Very far.

Does that mean I won't watch S2? Absolutely not. Rooting for the show and it's cast to get all 5 seasons which it probably will bc Disney+ needs it, but there were some serious writing issues that have to be addressed.

Otherwise it's going to A VERY long road to the end.

Look, I'm not a big fan of this ship...

BUT if these two do not get together in the newest season WTF. It's been how many years?????
