Achilles. Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Loved the casting for Medusa and Enchilada. I cackled when they started info dumping about Pan in the middle of the episode like it was already so short and they couldn’t come up with something better to do than start setting the stage for season 4? Feel like all of the monsters are being defeated / evaded far too easily. I get that they’re keeping the show kid-friendly, but that shouldn’t be such a limitation. The Potter series managed to be kid friendly but still made the troll, acromantulas, basilisk, etc genuinely formidable threats that the heroes actually had to struggle to defeat in battle scenes steeped in suspense, so idk why it’s such a weak spot here.

They have no choice but to set it up now given book 1 & 2s content. Season 2 has to happen after all. 5 hours ago, Achilles. said: Feel like all of the monsters are being defeated / evaded far too easily.

Pretty much all the monsters/villains until Book 2 are episodic and even then this group faces a much larger cast of villains so many will come and go. Percy alone kills nearly 6,000 just by himself. No point gassing up every monster especially without the prophecy or the big bad villain not being revealed yet (which they have been setting up carefully with his dreams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruelhprince Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 LOVED this episode. my favorite of the 4 so far even though it was so short I feel like it had the best pacing out of the 4 eps so far as well. the Chimera looked amazing and Echidna was really well cast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamil24 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 omg just saw that this came out I had read all 10 books when I was younger (there are 11 now!?), was a huge fan but the movies were pretty disappointing and I hadn't really thought much about this series since. Just saw all the trailers and got so many flashbacks to scenes I remember from the books, need to find a way to watch this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say if you aren’t an avid book fan or just haven’t read the books in while, you might as well wait till the season is finished to binge. If you really want to watch it’s on Disney+. If you refuse to watch or pay for Disney+ cause of the boycott, many people are just waiting to pirate episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiidish Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 The choices they made for TV actually worked sooooo well here even though lots was removed from the books Spoiler Grover’s empathy being used to manipulate Ares, Annabeth getting development, Heaphastus showing mercy, Percabeth + date for next season set up + Ares starting stan twitter, Annabeth seeing the Fates instead of Percy.

Achilles. Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The Ares and Grover exchange was good. Were those real battles that Grover mentioned? Lemme research a bit. No Aphrodite’s scarf to tease her interest in Percabeth? I hope the Hephaestus TV reveal still comes at some point. It adds a sort of dark cynical Hunger Games-ish aspect to the series to know the gods use their children for entertainment like that. Hoover Dam is coming soon, right? I wonder how many dam jokes they can get away with on Disney+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almodusa Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This definitely picked up on episode 4, quality wise. The dialogue was cheesy and the acting was questionable, glad it got better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
305 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I’ve really enjoyed it so far. As a fan of the books, the series is pretty much spot on and everything the movies wish they were. My only complaint is the actress that plays Annabeth, not because she’s black but because her acting is not good. It seems so rehearsed and forced, reminds me of Skai Jackson and her bad Disney Channel acting. The rest of the cast is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocetti Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Caught up with all 5 episodes and I really enjoy this show even tho it's cheesy at times! Fun fact: Logan Lerman from the previous installation became my first celeb crush back in 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiidish Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Whoaaaaa MAJORRRRRR changes. I can live with it but imagine many people won’t. It’s a major shift, but unless you read the books you wouldn’t know or think it’s out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles. Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I didn’t care for Hermes simply telling Percy how much time had passed by. In the book, he’s perceptive enough to realize on his own when he catches on to all the young people wearing clothes from very different eras (not even Annabeth notices!). It’s kinda another instance of them dumbing down Percy / the plot. Curious to see where exactly they’re going with the changes made in the final scene.
