I'm sincerely very happy for anyone who is enjoying the show but every time I see takes that the show has improved the book characterizations or that the book characters are underdeveloped in comparison to the show...
#our experiences are very different lmao
#pjo show crit
#sure the show isn't completely out yet
#but id argue that the characters (namely the trio) seem way more developed and well-rounded in the book by this point in time (episode 4)
#and look im not saying every change the show has made is bad
#but by and far there has yet to be a change to characterization that feels like an IMPROVEMENT from the source material lmao
#the closest contender I'd say is show Percy does seem a tad angrier than book Percy
#but again I wouldn't call that an improvement... its just different and I think that /change/ works because it feels like the same essence
#but even that has had some issues because I feel like the show has inadvertently cut down some of Percy's canon book empathy here and there
#I think the show has nailed Annabeth's pride and intelligence and her warped worship of her mother
#... but they've also made her hyper competent to the point that she's not making half of the mistakes she did in the book
#which ISNT good because book annabeth is smart but she isn't infallible
#its a big point that she has the theoretical intelligence but none of the real world experience/application
#she gets tricked by medusa and goes to visit the Arch just cause she loves architecture and that's okay!! she's twelve and a nerd!
#I also dont like that they've cut/toned down her little crush on Luke
#actually they've not even showcased the familial bond between annabeth and Luke either in the show so like lmao
#and then grover
#by now grover's fear of failure and repeating this past mistakes and wanting a license has already been acknowledged in the books at least
#in the show?? not so much
#and his canon book suspicions and wariness of medusa... were given to annabeth
#like medusa in the book was Grover's moment to shine cause his instincts were right!
#and in the book fight he even very intentionally attacked medusa
#but his highlights there were cut completely in the show
#and finally sally
#...idk who that is in the show but that's NOT my sally jackson
#percy jackson
#mine
