Okay I actually wanted to point this out: In the movies they say it’s because he smells “bad” implying that you can just pick any random person so long as they smell bad; in the books on the other hand they say it’s because he smells so disgustingly “human” that he would mask the scent of Percy, which from this I assume means the more morally f*cked you are you are and the more bad of a person you are you smell more “human” (I take all this from gabes character traits ofc) and that making it harder for them to detect any half-bloods or gods around someone so bad smelling. But this is all just a theory where I could be wrong but I feel like this would’ve taken little to effort to just change the phrase bad smelling to human so but whatever person with daddy issues they let get a hold of the script is none of my business

​@JohnM... this is talked about in the books. Pegasus the immortal winged horse is still a thing, and he flies around freely.

[@emilyhedrick2851]

As a fan of the books, the Garden Gnome Emporium scene, which is one of my favorites, is particularly disappointing because: 1.The use of a cell phone when they're not supposed to use cell phones. Demigods don't typically carry them because they attract monsters. While I have no issue with how they used it, especially on short notice, the correct object to use would be a gazing ball or a polished shield. 2.The fact that Medusa is not visually terrifying enough. The monster is supposed to be frightfully ugly in both hair and face for a very specific reason. It's the whole point. They should've gone crazy with the makeup and let Uma Thurman's talent do the rest. 3.The whole thing with the car. You're right about that. Annabeth came to Camp Half-Blood at age seven, stayed for five years before her first quest, only leaving for a field trip to Olympus, and did not spend it learning how to drive a car. While Annabeth is a quick learner and incredibly intelligent, I still find it hard to believe that she would learn how to drive a car on such short notice with her eyes closed. That whole thing with the car is not only nonexistent in the book, it's also ridiculous.

Hey can y’all calm down with your weird sense of fandom superiority? You’re being kinda rude and driving away well meaning people who were just happy to enjoy a fun movie. It certainly isn’t getting anyone to join your fandom and read the books. :/ Instead of making people feel bad about seeing and potentially the movie, try to intro them to the books through the movie. I’m saying this as a person who doesn’t particularly enjoy any of Rick Riordan’s stuff and found the movies boring and poorly made.

well, funily enough this movie is based on a book. and some of the shit you've sinned (Like Annabeth's inexperience driving) are brought up in the book. - In the Capture The Flag scene by the river, Annabeth is serving the same role Clarisse did in the books. - Annabeth has driven before, in the 4th book, it's revealed that Chariot racing is something common that happens; kinda like friday night bingo with the ladies - the knockout darts work on monsters because the sedative only affects them and the tips are made of celestial bronze, a kryptonite like substance. that demigod weapons are made from. (This scene is actually in the Sea of monster's book. not the lightning theif) - The lotus casino is actually a reference to the land of the lotus eaters (which in turn is alluded to in the lightning theif musical) - Gabe's death is actually referenced in the book. sally kills him them sells his petrified corpse as a statue (Entitled the poker player) for which the money is used to put her through college.

It seems to me, after having just finished the first book (I read it in middle school and never read the others but I'm starting again), that almost all of the sins in the movie are because the Riordan wrote reasons behind what happened, Percy stayed to fight the minotaur after his mom died because he was protecting an unconscious grover, but in the movie they make changes like grover not being unconscious but they keep the events, which makes Percy fighting meaningless. Like they clearly didn't care and were just making changes while keeping the cool events despite their changes making the cool events pointless.

Percy Jackson (the book) was so ahead of it's time, and in 2010, everyone was looking for the new big YA franchise.

Percy was a refreshing change from the otherwise bland protagonists and had so much potential but noooooo. They tried to make it just like everything else. That's not creativity, that's laziness. The book wasn't even that long. Most of the Harry Potter books were longer but still made for decent film adaptations. Not to mention they were so disrespectful towards Rick Riordan.
