“Nice.” I grinned at Annabeth.

“Your armor is crooked” was her only comment, and she redid my straps for me. 🥺🧡

Little 12yo Warrior Percy.

I can't explain how but Clarisse's (PJO) line "I'll live" has the same energy as Eliot's (Leverage) line "That's what I do".

Percy telling his mom “I’m gonna make him come down here. I’m gonna make him see us both.” And then marching up to Olympus and asking his dad “Do you ever dream about mom?”

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - S1xE2 - (I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom) ~ Original Air Date: December 19, 2023

im in love with the details and care that were put into camp half blood because it's so gorgeous

the sign has the cabin names on them!

you can SEE how the areas meet and how they create the whole camp, like i am absolutely in love

It’s funny you had some issues with the tension in episode 3, because all of the interactions with Medusa felt like a horror movie to me! It made me so tense lol. And I don’t mean this in a confrontational or “I’m right you’re wrong” way, I just love how everyone can experience media differently.

Oh yeah, definitely. That was one of my favorite parts of the episode. I’m just not a fan of how that scene ended, particularly. There wasn’t much of a fight like in the book, and the show made it look like she was relatively easy to kill. Same thing with the furies, the bus scene more specifically. The entire scene in the book is chaotic, with Percy hijacking the bus, and it crashing into a forest. All three Grover, Percy, and Annabeth have to fight for their lives and just make it out of the bus after killing all three furies. The entire scene there’s also a raging storm, and it ends with the bus getting struck by a massive bolt of lightning of Zeus’s wrath.

In the show, that would have been a perfect scene to finally show stakes, and also showcase the true danger they are in due to the war between the gods (in the book it’s storming constantly, and odd natural occurrences are happening everywhere, creating a feeling of ominousness that the show is also missing.) But instead the scene is a total of like two minutes, with Percy, Annabeth, and Grover kind of just standing around trying to figure out what to do as a fury veeeeery slowly advances towards them in the aisle. Then Annabeth throws her knife at the fury, they hop out of a broken window, and that’s that. I like overall how Medusa’s part was done, like you said. I felt Rick did a really good job of expanding Percy and Annabeth’s characters during that while also keeping a fair amount of tension, but I should maybe rephrase to say that it more feels like there’s no stakes in the monsters they have to face, so far. Save the Minotaur, they’ve gotten away pretty easy each time.

Bc I know I’ve been rambling: tdlr; I’ve really liked the show so far but hope to see a really engaging action scene soon that has more stakes, and is a true challenge for the trio to face. Ik they might be saving that for Percy’s face off with Ares, so we’ll see.

ep 4: monster hijinks ft. Medusa and the Furies

ep 5: monster hijinks part 2 ft. Echidna and Ares

ep 6: Welcome to the underworld

Ep 8: Fight with Ares and happily ever after if not for Luke

Who you betray in one of the worst ways possible.

Sunshine x Sunshine protector 🥹🤍

this is so random but anyone else really appreciate the bathroom set. As someone whose been to summer camp multiple times, those toilets are pretty spot on.

Episodes 1 & 2 have been released and watched. I’m in LOVE!!! I’ve been waiting since 8th grade for this!!!!! 🗡️⚡️🏕️🔱

But whose bright idea was this release schedule??? Definitely not Annabeth’s she’s not dumb or evil!!

I bet it was Kronos’s. He’s that dumb. And evil.

PJO Episode 2 Thoughts

Again, spoilers. Duh.

So Camp Half Blood looks stunning. I wish we'd gotten a full tour through camp to see all cabins properly for the first time, together with Percy, but what we got is great.

Dionysus' cast is perfect. Damn. I was doubtful at first about this one, since I only know him from Good Place, but the energy he brings is impeccable.

I have mixed feelings about Clarisse, because in the books she was always explicitly not conventionally pretty, and they cast a girl who looks like she is on her way to become a model. This actress has more Aphrodite vibes than Ares vibes. On the one hand, as a huge Clarisse fan, I love how pretty she is, but also don't like that we're taking one of the few "not conventionally pretty" roles away to replace with pretty people...

Annabeth's actress really delivers on the Annabeth energy. That's a good thing on being true to the source material, not... a good thing about me liking her though. I forgot how much I disliked her from the get go with how she treats Percy right off the gate. Damn.

"Whose side are you on anyway?" - "Oh, hers. Always. She's my little sister" HAD ME CLENCHING MY HEART

The Luke-Annabeth dynamic means a lot to me and this is gonna hurt a lot. Already loving it.

Also, let me note: CHRIS IS HERE ALREADY. I wish they'd name-drop. Like, is it asking too much that Luke calls the guy following him around "Chris" at least once? I had to check IMDb to be 100% sure that this was Chris.

I really hope they'll give us more demigods early. And I also do hope we'll get... names.

Lastly, damn, I forgot how fucking manipulative just... everything... about that first book was. From the Grover and Chiron gaslighting, to the way Annabeth, Chiron, Mr. D and also Grover, again, keep Percy's fate from him, the obvious Luke being a good mentor and friend despite what he's gonna do later. That is really Percy's Not Good Very Bad Summer, huh.
