so uhh in the trailer percy saying, "there's no place for me here," and annabeth saying, "you still don't know where you fit into all this?" and five years later nico saying, "i don't belong. that's obvious. no one wants me," and will saying, "nobody at camp halfblood ever pushed you away. you have friends - or at least people who would like to be your friend," is giving me uhh feelings

OKAY let’s talk about the Tunnel of Love clips in the new Percy Jackson trailer!
First off, so so happy this is gonna be on the show!
Second, there’s some really interesting things we can glean from the little we saw:
Here is a shot of Percy and Annabeth jumping into the water— this isn’t something they do in the book! So why would they need to?
Because of this:
We can tell this is the tunnel of love scene because Percy and Annabeth are soaked, the walls are the same as in the previous images, and that’s a statue of Aphrodite (the seashell being one indication); the statue itself is holding a shield of Ares (as evidenced by the boar head on it)
But WAIT there’s more! Look at the floor around their feet—
Are those mics? 👀 There are red lights that don’t make much sense with the surroundings, almost like the lights on cameras and other equipment that show they’re active/on. The pinprick looking lights on the sconces could be cameras too.
And IS that an Aphrodite statue? Because to me, she looks like an automaton
So my thinking is, they have to go inside the tunnel to fetch Ares’ shield, a change I very much like, and I think it makes the scene flow better! Much of the rest will be the same— they take the shield, it awakens the cameras, maybe the automaton comes to life. My theory when they cast Timothy Omundson as Hephaestus (despite the character not appearing until much later in the books) was we might get clips of him in the “OlympusTV” screen room, his reaction to these kids being there instead of Ares— but it looks like he COULD show up in this scene too!
Definitely fingers crossed the automaton spiders still play a role, so we get the conversation about Annabeth’s arachnophobia, but piecing things together, it looks like this segment of the show might be a little bit more action packed!

Something I love about using Riptide in the PJO trailer is that bc of the chords being so easy to learn, it's really become a "camp" song; something that amateur guitarist can play and everyone knows the words. I have many memories of singing it with camp friends. A big part of the allure of CHB is the nostalgic "camp" vibes- nature, singing around a fire, meals & games with your bunk, a general feeling of family... Riptide has become synonymous with these things for many people, and so has Camp Half-Blood

the beginning of the trailer starting with the reason for sally's choosing perseus as name - "because he was brave and kind and against all odds... he managed to find his way to a happy ending" - and then that bit of dialogue ending on the scene where he loses his mother to the minotaur? it's so over for me.
