Since in the books Aphrodite isn't described, I read somewhere that Aphrodite should be played by different actresses depending on whose point of view we're in. The one way to tie them all together can be that pink-scarf-thing from Book 1. It's a pretty good way to sneak some cameos in. There would be a main actress for Percy's POV, but she could go through some changes in appearance throughout the series. That way it's the same as in the books, where he mentions that it used to look like his mom and slowly resembled Annabeth more and more. It really should be done gradually but I think it would be really cool. And much better than just getting a "pretty actress"

“I don’t think the movie did a terrible job with the underworld.” I do. The problem with it is that they confused the Greek afterlife for Christian hell, which are not the same thing (probably why Hades was a villain and appeared in that devil form, confusing him for the Christian devil rather than who he’s actually supposed to be in both the book and mythology).

Merphy I didn’t know if you knew that there was a Percy Jackson and The Lightning Theif musical. It was really good. And Anabeth had a song in it called “My Grand Plan” which really shows who she is as a character. I really recommend listening to it. The song is my go to road trip and just when I have a bad day song. There is a line in it that I really relate to “I have a plan. And I will be remembered. I will be great. Just wait and see. You better wise up when I rise up. Bring on any challenge. ‘Cuz someday soon I swear. I don’t know how or when. But I promise you, I’ll never be invisible again. Someone will notice me.”

What I am excited about with regards to Nico is the ability to actually hint at and show specific spoilery dynamics with specific characters already and show his character from the start with the writers knowing everything that is revealed in later books about him that the OG books never got to really set up for the same way the series could. Nico is honestly the character I am the most excited about, especially if they plan to also adapt HOO eventually, though the pace of those books seems like it would be much more difficult to do considering the whole child actors ageing as time happens thing.

I think your first wish list item is the thing I am most concerned about. Disney+ shows seem to have this major problem with pacing, where it feels like they are going 90mph through the story and not giving characters/events time to breathe. With most of their shows only being 6-8 episodes, this is a major problem that drags down the final product considerably. With Rick being heavily involved I'm hoping that this will be enough to avoid this trap, but after Kenobi/Moon Knight/Hawkeye/literally any Marvel show I am super worried.

I would have been a teny tiny bit mad if I had been a half-blood that wasn't claimed until after the battle against Kronos. Like "Oh, mother/father saw it fit to claim those other kids that are now suddenly my brothers and sisters. Me? Nah, I had to wait until they promised to uphold a deal with this other half-blood after said half-blood saved their butts all these years later. I feel so loved" 😛 Like, is everyone actually happy, or did some feel that they would have been better off still not knowing, as the only attention they got from their godly parent was fuled by something the gods were unable to back out off? Also, many of the kids who got claimed after the battle is probably more comfortable with and have more friends and more of a family feeling with the Hermes kids as that's the cabin they spent years in. It would have been interesting to see a story with a character with that perspective.

Respect the myths: The myths are a core concept of the series, and Riordan knew how to respect them. Don’t dumb down anything, add some change because they think it won’t work, and show the gods as they are presented. 3. Make Luke somewhat right. I can’t stress this enough, but Luke is not some Draco Malfoy foil, he actually has a point and should be shown as a component and intelligent villain.

By the way, I know this is a year-old video so Merphy you will probably never see this, but if for some reason you do: I really recommend you read the follow-up series that Riordan wrote, Heroes of Olympus! It follows Percy and Annabeth and a cast of new (and amazing) characters as they deal with a new threat in the aftermath of the first book. Hopefully if the Disney+ series does well they'll adapt Heroes of Olympus as well, it's so good. IMO the third and fourth books in that series are some of the best writing Rick Riordan has ever done.

You should read "Is it wrong to pickup a girl in a dungeon" or "Danmachi" for short. If you do read them. I will warn you it's has many book with some side books. So I will help you with the order in which to read.

I am 21 and I just started and close to finishing reading the Lighting Thief great book (Now I don't know if it is possible or if he did anything wrong form what I read he seems nice) honestly I hope they cast John Waters as Crusty AKA Procrustes if they don't that is fine the books and art he looks like a splitting image of John Waters.

Gosh agreed, and they’d better not erase some of the great representation (I mean there isn’t much in the first series but still). I’d actually like to see more clues and hints written between the lines hinting about Nico’s crush on Percy. That would be amazhang and I just generally hope they get Nico’s actor and character right, our first gay Disney prince has to be well done.

My feelings are that the first series really focused on representing non neurotypical people and then the next few series were able to stretch beyond that to more representation. The mental health representation was a focus of the first series because Rick was making it to help his non neurotypical son. So I would say that each series is good at representation, just different groups are being represented, and there is more representation in each book. I do, however, agree that there can be more LGBTQ+ representation and other representation earlier in the show than there was in the books.

The only thing I'm all that worried about is how the books are 1st person and because of that a lot of that is just Percy's inner thoughts on what's going on and movies have a harder time adapting that kind of stuff and leads to the series losing certain details and moments of introspection. Also this might just be might but I kind of wish the series had been animated instead, like I hear it's getting a pretty good sized budget and Harry Potter did fine, but idk when I was reading the books and especially after the movies I just felt animation would've been a better way to go with this.

If there’s one thing id say about the romance arc in the original series, expatiate by one book, have them be a thing by the end of Battle for The Labyrinth. The moment that will push it happen sooner? Perry takes Aphrodite’s advice and starts me make his move on Annabelle, he wasn’t immune to Ares’s agro vibes, why would he be immune to her vibes?

Some things I'd like to see in the show that weren't in the movies: Percy Jackson. Annabeth Chase. It would be _realy cool_ if Annabeth could make an appearance. At least cast someone not _obviously_ in her mid-20s to play a 15-year-old girl (and maybe even a blonde . . . ) Grover. Mrs. O'Leary & Blackjack (I'd love to get as far in the story that we get to meet Percy's dog and his horse.) At least, that'll do to go on with . . .
