Do you think this is a bit weird?

I thought Hunters are all girl,look like teenagers, cuz Artmis is goddess of girls,but the Hunters in picture look...a little older.It's a little different from the original.How do you think?

Season 1's Most Egregious Mistake?

Earlier this year, I finally decided to watch the show. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. When I read the books in middle school, like many of you I'm sure, I fell in love with them. So I'm so surprised how much this shows fails- not just as an adaptation, but as a standalone television series.

I think season 1 laid a horrible foundation for this show. And I believe the biggest fault was how it handled our characters, which lead to them losing much of their depth and affects long term character arcs. For some examples:

  • Grover's motivation for joining the quest doesn't come from a need to prove his bravery to the council and makeup for failing Thalia. And his goal to find Pan feels like an afterthought. It's introduced in episode 4, then just happens to get his license by the end of the season.
  • Annabeth is stiff and unable to adjust handling the real world, with her sole identity is being a demigod. Yet going back to living with her dad after 5 years is treated so casually and undermines the emotional weight of her arc.
  • Chiron isn't a close mentor to Percy and loses so much agency in the story. Most of the myths Percy learns comes from Sally, and he wants to keep the info about Sally being alive away from Percy because "the truth can be very dangerous, if it isn't handled carefully."

Curious to hear how others feel about these specific character changes looking back on Season 1 now? Do you think there was a bigger issues from Season 1? Do you think these writing choices made it harder to build up the team dynamics for Season 2 and upcoming 3?

Which Scylla is Worse? Either Way, The Design is Disappointing

I know Season 2 is pretty much old news by now, but seeing the disrespect shown to my favorite Greek monster as of late has been bothering me a lot. I'm praying to God that the Epic the Musical movie has the guile to actually do her justice.

D23 confirmed Disney is hesitating on Percy Jackson Season 4

​Months ago, I said Disney wouldn't greenlight Battle of the Labyrinth at D23, and people called it doomposting. But here we are. If Percy Jackson and the Olympians were performing at the level Disney wanted, a Season 4 announcement would have been a no-brainer for D23. The fact that Disney stayed silent speaks volumes.

​Here is the realistic situation: Strong, tentpole shows do not wait for new numbers to greenlight future seasons.

Prepare yourselves, because if Season 3 doesn't pull unprecedented, massive numbers, this trilogy might be all we're getting.

Why did the Percy Jackson era have to end??? Genuinely miss it so much!!

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up with the Percy Jackson books and films when I was younger. I’ve been thinking about what happened to that original Percy Jackson era and that feeling of experiencing those stories when they were such a big part of everyday life, especially following Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, Luke Castellan, Chiron, Clarisse La Rue, and the rest of the characters through their adventures, the unforgettable moments, the mythology, the humor, and the distinctive atmosphere that made the stories feel so special.

Now that the original Percy Jackson film era has ended, the period that many people grew up with can feel like it has passed. The actors, directors, producers, filmmakers, and everyone involved in bringing Percy Jackson to the screen have all moved forward. The cast and crew who helped create those films have gone on to different projects and different parts of their lives away from the original movies. It feels strange because I grew up with these stories, and now everything has just… changed and moved on.

I remember watching Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters when I was younger, and everything felt so simple. I could just sit down and become absorbed in Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Luke, Chiron, Clarisse, and the rest of the characters without thinking about anything else. Back then, it felt like these stories would always be there, and I don’t understand why they couldn’t just keep making new Percy Jackson films forever or why the original movie era eventually had to stop and move on.

I also wonder why experiencing Percy Jackson now doesn’t feel exactly the same anymore. The stories are still the same, but the feeling is different. It feels like something is missing, almost like they feel unfamiliar even though I remember them so clearly.

Why do film and book series like Percy Jackson eventually change or come to an end? If people loved them for years, why can’t they just continue forever with the same feeling? Why do actors, directors, filmmakers, and studios have to move on, and why do viewers grow up and stop experiencing stories the same way?

It feels strange knowing that the original Percy Jackson film era I grew up with is over, that the world has moved on, and that chapter feels closed, even though it once felt like it would always be there. The original films were released in 2010 and 2013. That makes that era feel like a finished chapter of childhood, even though the characters, stories, performances, and memories are still there.

Maybe that is part of what makes Percy Jackson so meaningful. Those stories did not have to last forever for the memories to last. The stories remained the same, but I changed. The world around me changed. The people who created the films moved on to other projects, and the time in my life when I experienced those stories without worrying about growing up eventually became part of the past.

I suppose that is why it can feel so strange to return to Percy Jackson years later. I’m not only watching or reading about Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Luke, Chiron, Clarisse, and the others again. I’m also remembering the person I was when I first discovered those stories. They can bring that feeling back for a moment, but they cannot completely recreate the time and place in which those memories were originally made.

The original Percy Jackson film era may be over, and there may never be another version that feels exactly like the one I grew up with. But that does not mean the era disappeared completely. It still exists in the memories of everyone who grew up with those stories. The films and adaptations changed, but the part of childhood they represent does not have to disappear with them.

Does season 3 give you hope?

There are many criticisms about season two through all this time, which makes most (and myself) hesitant about the future seasons. If they are gonna adapt books 4 and 5.

The season 3 trailer released at D23, and what are your guys thoughts now upon viewing it?

Aphrodite

I can’t believe they turned Aphrodite into this thing.

She doesn’t look like Aphrodite it looks like a cheap female version of Zeus.

The clothes and the hairstyle look lame as hell, and it doesn’t look like the way Percy Jackson describes her in the book.

I was expecting Aphrodite with glamorous hairstyles like those of famous actresses and Hollywood designer dresses.

If they fail at something so simple, they’re most likely going to fail at the rest.

I’m just disappointed in this show and all of Rick’s dumb decisions.

I just feel bad for Ares and Hephaestus

I personally think white is a little too bland for the likes of Aphrodite’s limo. It should be pink with similar shades.
