Every Inaccuracy In Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters No Matter How Long It Takes

You asked, I delivered. While the first Percy Jackson movie bored general audiences and enraged fans of the books, it managed to rake in enough money to warrant a sequel. Which meant they had a second chance to make a faithful adaptation of the books. Did they learn their lesson? Well, let's just say there's a reason this video is even longer than the last one.

Corrections! Chiron describes the emetic Zeus gave to Kronos as being made of mustard and wine in _The Lightning Thief,_ but Percy claims in _Percy Jackson's Greek Gods_ that it actually was made of mustard and nectar, as wine would not be invented until after the Titan War and the birth of Dionysus. I took a bit of creative liberty when describing Tantalus's punishment. In the books, Tantalus was cast into the Fields of Punishment, not Tartarus. I chose to say he was cast into Tartarus because that's how the traditional Greek legend goes, and I figured that would be more immediately familiar to the uninitiated. Nico's last name is di Angelo, not d'Angelo. I always get those two mixed up, and never remember to check. I forgot to sin the movie for cutting the part where Tyson gets an internship working at Poseidon's underwater forges. Have no idea how that slipped past me, considering that it's basically the same sin as cutting out Grover leaving camp to search for Pan, which I not only sinned in the first video, but also quoted in this one.

21:55 Poseidon never owned the sword. It belonged to Zoe, the daughter of Atlas. She gave it to Heracles and then it somehow ended up in Chiron's hands a few millennia later, probably given to him by Heracles, since Chiron taught him (though that last bit is never mentioned in the book, so it's just a theory). Fun fact about Nico's name, since it is Italian, the full name could be translated as Son of an/the Angel or Angel's Son.

Kronos coming back on the second book is actually the singular worst thing ever done. Grover as the comedian? Sure, Clarisse being slim? Fine, Tyson completely out of character? Why not. But making the final boss appear on the second movie, when the 5th book was basically the fight on it's entirity, being the most grandiose event in all 5 books is absolutely outrageous, insane, and someone has to pay jail time for it. What would they have done if they had more movies? Like, it's literally unthinkable and that deserves at least 500 sins.

The reason people were mad about changing the age of the prophecy was probably because the story of PJO is the story of children aging and maturing. A 16-year-old turning 20 does not have the same impact as a 12-year-old turning 16.

[@ebdynamite3824]

Ik its the same couple of years, but 12 to 16 seems like a bigger gap than 16 to 20, and did the prophecy even get followed? How old was he when Peter Johnson defeated Kronos in this movie? Like 17? Idk if im right about this, correct me if im wrong, but isnt the movie prophecy wrong?

[@SpringStarFangirl]

@@ebdynamite3824 pretty sure they realized that they weren't gonna get another movie by the end... not that that stopped them from bringing back Thalia

[@whichcache2517]

Yeah, but the movie characters were already older than the book characters by the time the movie version of the Great Prophecy came out. If the prophecy was the exact same as in the books (in a scenario where the movies were faithful to the books in ever regard aside from the characters’ ages), it would mean that Percy wouldn’t be the one to hand Luke the cursed blade, because he didn’t “reach sixteen against all odds”. He would have to “reach twenty against all odds”.

[@jordinagel1184]

“This is purely stylistic. Inaccurate does not mean bad.” Thankfully, in the case of this movie, it’s both. That simplifies things.

[@DovahkiinMaster172]

I don’t understand why every Hollywood movie thinks Kronos needs to be some large fiery satan looking monster. If I remember correctly, Kronos, while in Luke’s body, was described as having a soft voice of an older sounding man. I always pictured Kronos to look more like an old Father Time afflicted with constant paranoia.

[@jeffreygao3956]

I for one like the idea of him sounding like Ian Mcdiarmid.

[@astrorat7228]

Kronos is Mr. Rodgers, but evil

[@Sumoniggro]

Kronos is depicted as a fiery Satan like figure because he is the bad guy in Greek mythology who castrated and deposed his father as well as tried to eat all his children the future Olympians to prevent his own usurpation. Though to be fair to him during his rule life was perfect and in harmony.

[@DarthMolgy]

I just imagine him as DIO Brando (or his Heaven Ascension variant from JoJo Eyes of Heaven). The ironic thing about that is that Kronos being the Lord of Time was a major error in the books; the god/primordial being of Time in Greek mythology is *Chronos,* a completely unrelated deity to Kronos (who's mostly associated with Harvest because of his scythe).

[@janesdead6802]

I read all five books in the last week and Kronos was always described as having a voice like knives scraping over stone, or invoking the feeling of knives scraping down the skin of your back. I may be remembrring tbis last detail wrong but I think when he spoke his voice also projected as if 3 of him were speaking at once

Tyson being coded with a cognitive disability is actually very important imo. So is both Percy's and Annabeth's development regarding him. Both their misgivings about him turn out to be unfounded, they feel bad about judging him and he becomes a valued friend. I mean, how many children's books do you know where someone like Tyson is portrayed in such a positive light? Sure, he has less screentime in later books, but his impact is always felt through things like Percy's watch shield. All in all, Tyson is one of my favourite characters and just making him the dumb, clumsy one is such a waste!

In other worse book series you have disabled characters that are seen as monstrous or untrustworthy or unpleasant to be around. There is a sense of judgement there. With tyson your judgement is played against you, its not going "they're disabled and thus are icky" it's "they're actually really nice you just judged them harshly because of society (and by extent your) subconscious ableism"

[@fablethewolf825]

Carsickness also makes more sense - Tyson is a son of Posiden. I know it's a thing in the books that at least children of the Big Three tend to developed ironic fears like Nico's fear of the dark, Thalia's fear of heights and Percy's fear of drowning, but why would a son of the sea god get seasick? Also, nice touch remembering that Riptide is a 'she'.

I feel like with both these movies they didn't know whether or not it was going to be the end of the series, evidenced by the first one not even mentioning Cronos and having Luke be defeated, and this one keeping the book's cliffhanger ending but showing that Percy Jackson can defeat Cronus all by himself but they don't make him destroy the sarcophagus, this is purely speculation (so don't quote me on this) but it's a feeling I can't ignore.

Something interesting I noticed: so you know how NO ONE wears the orange chb shirts in this movie or the previous one? Well there’s one scene where everyone is close to that. When they’re all around Thalia’s tree at the start, you can see everyone wearing blue. THE OPPOSITE OF ORANGE ON THE LIGHT SPECTRUM!! That’s the closest this movie chose to get to a camp uniform of sorts was having everyone in blue around the tree. Which is also an discontinuity because earlier in the games, you can see everyone wearing a rainbow of bright colors. And it’s the same day because Annabeth is wearing the same as outfit.

[@lilil9752]

This movie is like, they knew they weren’t going to get another deal (hence why the Cronos battle happened early) but also they thought they would gather fans to be upset when they didn’t (bringing Thalia as the sequel hook) and people were just happy it was over

I’m surprised the Manticore nearly killing Annabeth wasn’t sinned. In the third book, Dr. Thorn stings Percy, which weakens him, but Thorn straight up says it won’t kill him.

Im hesitant to agree with the point that the grey sisters taxi only serves greater new york, as in The Sun and The Star, Kayla uses it to go to Toronto. However that could be explained away as they just delivering her to an airport or another mortal means of travel

Annabeth explicitly says in The Sea of Monsters that they currently only serve Greater New York. Maybe they expanded their range since then, but for the purposes of an SoM adaptation, they should be limited.

1. The Grey Sisters all share one eye, they don’t all have their own. 2. Percy can’t SEE nautical lines, he just innately knows them and has perfect bearing.

[@OptimusPhillip]

1. I don't think the movie suggested otherwise. I only counted one eye in that scene, and they were obviously bickering over control of that single eye. 2. True, but that's a very subtle change that I think translates the idea well into a visual medium, similar to Grover's crutches.

I’m not saying it doesn’t translate well. I’m pointing out that he said he can see them and it’s inaccurate.
