It’s a major shift, but unless you read the books you wouldn’t know or think it’s out of place. 5 hours ago, Achilles. said: Curious to see where exactly they’re going with the changes made in the final scene. I haven't read the books but I'm curious, what are the changes and how do you think this will impact the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles. Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 6 hours ago, Cocetti said: I haven't read the books but I'm curious, what are the changes and how do you think this will impact the story? Spoiler 1. In the books, Percy does not miss the solstice deadline. This change probably just heightens the drama with him stopping the fighting after it’s started rather than simply preventing it. 2. The nereid only gives him 3 pearls in the book, rather than 4. This means he can’t save his mother using them. The change suggests that Poseidon actually cares about Percy, his friends, and his mom all surviving without any of them having to be sacrificed. That said, I expect Percy to be unable to save his mother with the pearl (and ultimately get her back the same way he does in the book). This change also makes it a bit more dramatic (if he does fail to save his mother) and also makes the gods seem a bit less callous (because it eliminates the need for a sacrifice). Of course, it’s also possible that they’ll change it so Percy does save his mom with the pearl, which would be a heroic moment suited to the medium, and perhaps have implications for the relationships between Percy, Sally, and Poseidon if all are aware that Posideon actively contributed to the rescue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect explanation and same thoughts that I have on the latter points likely conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almodusa Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hmm thought this episode would be juicier. I haven’t read the books, only seen the movies - but I know the ending was definitely a change. Wonder how that plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles. Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The extra pearl just being to add drama. Dame Maggie Smith’s son as Poseidon!! The meta decision of casting an actor perhaps best known for Black Sails as the god of the sea! Loved the whole flashback scene between him and Sally.

Chiidish Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 The finale, oh I know they saved ALL the budget for it but I can’t believe they haven’t announced more season yet ughhhhh need the renewal ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiidish Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Also wish a decent amount of tiktok grifters would shut up the changes so far have mostly been to enhance the story or to work around the limitations of live action format/budget. Everything has been so enjoyable with this series I’m worried the main actors are gonna be massively too tall by the time filming is for the first 5 book seasons is complete they need to hurry it looks like Walker already had a growth spurt fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D/X Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 There's something wrong inside Disney+ or whoever oversees all the series cause how come this has the exact same problem of filler episodes, hollow ambience scenes, and slow-mo pacing with no suspense as all of the MCU series? This was supposed to be fun and adventurous but some episodes were... boring. The Olympus being empty The kids truly carried this show... not gonna lie, I still find cringy all of Riordan's concept (Greek mythology in America is just so...), but with the way this was hyped, particularly by the fans, and in the end being this kinda uneventful. It had its good moments, but they need to improve the writing and direction, the production and cast is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
