. Can't they see that Webtoon is already doing such great work with their own original content? It feels like Amazon Prime Video is just trying to muscle in on the action and now "Lore Olympus" is being watered down because of it 
. And don't even get me started on how long it's taking for new stuff to come out... I mean, what happened to the days when we could actually see a webcomic drop every week? 
Now it just feels like we're waiting around for some big-budget adaptation to justify the existence of our favorite creators

! rachel smythe's webcomic has been on point for years, tackling those timeless themes in such a fresh way 
. the fact that julia cooperman (i love her work on "pantheon" btw) is bringing this story to life is gonna be pure magic 
. can't wait to see the world of persephone and hades come to life on tv 
!
!
Ahhh, who needs reality when you can have demigods in love with each other and monsters that will make your skin crawl?

what's next? are they gonna tackle some other classics like "Orpheus & Eurydice"? also, has anyone got a problem with reimagining ancient myths in the modern world? it seems kinda refreshing to see these stories retold for new audiences 
And now it's getting a full season order at Amazon Prime Video?!?!?! that's amazing news! 
Can't wait to see what they do with this project!
. And with Julia Cooperman at the helm, I know it's going to be amazing 
can't wait 2 get my hands on a physical copy or watch it online ASAP 
i mean, who wouldn't wanna watch persephone and hades' love story go down on tv? 
btw, have u read the webcomic? its like 10/10 
We've got so many great webcomics out there already, why do we need another show on top of everything else? 
. The fact that the Jim Henson Company is involved is a big plus - they've done some amazing work in the animation world. I'm curious to see how Julia Cooperman brings her own spin to the story, but let's be real, Rachel Smythe's original webcomic is perfection 
just saw that "Lore Olympus" is getting a full season order on Prime Video... think it's gonna be a wild ride
