First 1/2 of my brain: Oh my gosh! I’m so excited for this! The actors seem like they understand the characters so much! They got Rick Riordan to help make it like the books, and there’s going to be 8 whole episodes!

Second 1/2 of my brain: Hold on.

First 1/2: Huh? What?

Second 1/2: Remember what happened last time Disney was in charge of adapting a book series that we discovered in school?

First 1/2: But we never saw the BFG, and The Witches was tragically taken down, but that’s the fault of HBO MAX.

Second 1/2: Not those.

First 1/2: We haven’t watched the CGI Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Second 1/2: Not that either.

First 1/2: Well then what are you talking abou- oh.

Second 1/2: Yup.

First 1/2: I thought we repressed that.

Second 1/2: We did, but skepticism demands we look at all available evidence.

First 1/2: It-it won’t be like that, that had major editing problems and was confined to a 2-hour time frame. Something that bad can’t happen again… right?

Second 1/2: Well, they did light up the Empire State Building blue, that at least shows that they’re willing to put a lot of funding towards it. But given the mouse’s track record for canceling things that don’t work with their “Standards and Practices” I don’t know. I guess we should just be willing to forgive but don’t forget anything that they’ve done before.

First 1/2: Okay… I’m still excited though.

Second 1/2: Oh, me too!
