The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

Alex, on the phone: So remember how I said that henry and I were going to have a subtle night out?

Zahra: yes.

Alex: so we kind of got caught making out. Again? We might need media control.

Zahra:

Alex: Please dont tell Mom-

Zahra: *hangs up*

Liam, on a call with Theo: so how exactly did you end up in jail on double date night?

Theo:

Theo: So, basically, this six year old pint-sized brat stepped on my foot and-

Mason: He picked a fight with a six year old and sent her crying to her parents, and proceeded to cuss them all out and get us all thrown out of the restaurant?

*Corey cackling in the background*

Liam:

Theo: She was shoving me because I wasn't walking fast enough and it pissed me off

Liam:

Liam: I'll be there in a second

Cardan: so, remember how I was going down to get you some groceries so you could rest for a bit?

Jude: ...yes

Jude:

Jude: *hangs up*

Jude: sometimes, I remember how happy Locke and Taryn were and I hate it so much because all I wanted then was to be loved and looked at and truly seen, even if just for a second

Also Jude: *is a slightly deranged knife wife who can and will scare away and stab anyone whether or not they try to harm her or Cardan*

Jesper: I see Nina and Matthias so happy together and I hate it so much because all I want is for someone to look at me, and truly see me and love me like that. Even if it's just for a second.

Kuwei: *opens his arms, moves towards Jesper for a hug*

Jesper: *focusing on someone behind Kuwei and grins*

Kuwei, turning around: Wylan, oh hi, didn't see you there, oh you've got something with you? A bomb, you say? Wow, interesting, I'm going to leave now

Wylan: *scarily good impression of the Kaz Death Glare*

the fact that Daniel Sharman was seen on set and joined the Teen Wolf cast at Epix and Chill just solidifies my theory for the movie:

So from the trailer and bts, the main info we know:

Allison is back, resurrected from the dead or something of the sort

The person who raised her was influenced by the Nogitsune, and was told that retribution would be given to Scott and his pack

A new character, Hikari, is said to host the Kitsune spirit

A masked figure is seen spreading Mountain Ash across the borders of the school or hospital

Combined with what we know from Season 3 and Season 6's ending:

The Nogitsune spirit was removed from Stiles in the form of a fly

Isaac catches the fly and traps it in a jar with a triskelle on it

Isaac shortly goes to France to mourn Allison, where he stays for the rest of the show

Obviously, Isaac was impacted quite heavily by Allison's death

So my theory basically goes:

Isaac, who is still in possession of the Nogitsune fly creature, resurrected Allison

For some reason, it goes wrong, and Allison comes back to Beacon Hills, looking for Scott and his pack

Isaac is the masked character we see scattering Mountain Ash, trying to fix his mistake

The use of Mountain Ash as an effective barrier proves that neither Corey nor Theo will be returning, because chimera are immune to Mountain Ash. Yes, this shatters my Thiam and Morey heart as well.

In my opinion, this is kind of a far reach, but Isaac's rage when Allison died could have been channelled into spite towards Scott, which is why the Nogitsune was able to bait and influence him to hunting Scott and his pack
