I just realised something. Annabeth uses an IPad to research a cure for Thalia's tree - but in the books the Demigods can't use phones or any technology similar to that as it alerts the monsters in the world of their positions. Does this mean the filmmakers messed up. . .again?

(17:57) Oh absolutely. Luke was indeed a cleverly manipulative and borderline abusive bastard; the crafty son of Hermes turned traitor who attempted to have Percy killed numerous times (#MurderousAsshole) and was overall a wonderful antagonist. The adaptation of his character in the films is nothing but a typical whiny brat simply motivated by his daddy-issues whose lack of passion and flat delivery of his lines is *_ear-gratingly_* irritating.

[@fuyumi6845]

I agree

[@sillysquid10]

Everyone had parent issues.

[@lavender_xo]

In the book they gave us a chance to understand why Luke made those decisions though. I mean, even later in the series in Heroes of Olympus, even Percy was understanding why Luke did what he did. His mom is litterally crazy and his dad is neglectful, he watched one of his best friend turn into a tree when he was 12 then had to watch the person he loved slowly fall in love with someone else. Not to mention that he felt betrayed by the gods especially. That can really screw up a person. (I'm not defending that hes a good guy though. He made awful decisions.) Luke was just a vunerable broken guy in which Kronos used as pawn.

[@ilopominecrafter]

Rooomy Tobber one thing i noticed the movies messed up that the books did was the overlaying/outline that the stories did. If you notice, 2 onwards mostly has the story vaguely following a certain greek myths or a combination of a few (sea of monsters is the odyssey kinda, last olympian is the illad and so on.) the movies don’t seem to have that feel anywhere

[@nerky9663]

Tyson healing doesn’t even make sense, they were in the sea of monsters, which was established that Percy has no control over it. And so it would make sense that the water wouldn’t heal him. And therefore, wouldn’t heal Tyson

Hmm... seeing these arguments about The Mist makes me wonder. Now, it's been some time since I read the books so I may not remember everything just right, but if The Mist is supposed to make the mystical look norma, then why do Keiron and Grover need to wear disguises to cover the fact that they are mythical beings? Wouldn't they also look 'normal' because of The Mist?

[@toocoldforyouhere8353]

I mean in 26:23, the book does state that the sword will always reappear in Percy´s pocket, so even if they took it away. But its the same with the mist

[@Dreigonix]

The Mist In A Can is a prime example of what’s known as a Voodoo Shark- an attempt to fix a plot hole that only makes an even bigger plot hole.

[@KrimsonRogue]

I hadn't heard of that term before, and now I'm really curious about its origin. XD Still, thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to remember it.

[@Dreigonix]

+KrimsonRogue It comes from the novelization of Jaws: The Revenge, where it turns out the reason the shark can understand the concept of revenge and keep finding the relatives and friends of Martin Brody is because Martin’s family is under a voodoo curse, and the writer never bothers to explain _why_ the curse was placed or any other questions relating to that.

[@Adorni]

I just realized this film (surprise surprise) screwed up a MAJOR plot point of Percy's character- the guy has a hero complex. In the book, Percy was convinced he NEEDED to go on this quest because he knew that Grover was in mortal danger. He didn't trust anyone else to be able to save his best friend (and to be fair, Clarice wasn't exactly proving him entirely wrong...) And while this could stray into the Mary Sue area of a hero having a flaw that's NOT a flaw, in Percy's case it's at the heart of the ENTIRE CONSPIRACY thing Krimson mentioned in The Lightning Thief. It also plays a role in the sequel series "The Heroes of Olympus." So... yeah. Good job, movie! *thumbs up*

[@gearoidgarvey8266]

He didn't really have one, his flaw was that he wasn't able to let his friends die, this caused a lot of problems, but also helped out the future in some cases

[@magicrainbowkitties1023]

Flaws and strengths are just certain characteristics taken to a positive or negative extreme. Take Percy for example: his hero complex makes it so that he's loyal and caring, but also makes him reckless and unable to let things go. Another great example is Luke. He has a moral compass, unlike many villains like him. While it leads him to rebel against the gods for abandoning him and his friends, which leads to his corruption, it also leads him to do the right thing in the end to defeat Kronos. A *MAJOR* theme of the story is those flaws and how they make us who we are, and the movie completely ignores it.

[@thomastakesatollforthedark2231]

Gearoid Garvey and it fell in line with the real heroes of Greece all having HUBRIS as their flaw. Something which is fine when not overdone but when it is overdone it is very detrimental.

[@jmurray1110]

There are parts of the book where Percy is not in his father's domain, although that isn't exposed until much later in the series when Percy goes through some really tough hardships.

[@maximemasselink6764]

I think Annabeth is the person who's getting screwed up the most. In the book, she was smart and her arc was that she wanted to prove herself. That was the whole reason why she went on the quest, but the movie is very different about that. Annabeth got on the quest because the movie needed a female hero and Percy talked to her, which is an awful begin for a character. But on the quest, she managed to do pretty much nothing, except for letting Percy do all the work and being around Percy, which also differs from the source material. Yes, she needed help and yes, she couldn't do everything on her own, but she was useful and she helped. It's also very terrible if the second scene with Percy and Annabeth shows us that ANNABETH ALREADY HAS FEELINGS FOR PERCY. This screams female love interest. And then, in this movie, she dies. Wow. After a whole movie doing not really anything exceptional, she dies, only to show the audience that the fleece is the most powerful thing ever, which raises ANOTHER question. IF THAT FLEECE IS SO GODDAMN POWERFUL, WHY DON'T THEY BRING IT ALONG IN EVERY QUEST? In the fifth book a lot of people die, why not fucking ressurrect them with the fleece? (Thalia is a different story, because she didn't die). So, that was Annabeth, and then I didn't even talk about the prophecy, something that really pissed me off. Maybe the most off all this trainwreck of a film

Annabeth wasn't blonde in the last movie. And Grover is black (which would have been fine until they made him into the stereotypical black comedy sidekick.) I had hopes that these movies would be like Harry Potter and be a very large, successful series of books AND movies which it clearly deserves by the quality of the books.

And I would argue that Luran Kiney aka x23/wolverine actually earned her spot in the sun light and her whole dead is honouring the mantle of wolverine while remaining her own person. And she is one of the few marvel comic characters that I try to fallow. Though they don't make it easy. Though I will conside Thor losing the use of the hammer becouse Nick fury told I'm basically he wasn't good enough or some such rubbish and Jane foster takening up the role, was...well stupid and as for flacon takening up the role of captain America.

2:29 They didn't just fuck over the entire series, they fucked over this series, and the Hero's of Olympus series. To list but one reason (and several other complaints): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Spoilers ahead-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By not going to Cires island (the lady who turned guys into guinea pigs), they gave Reyna no reason to be at camp Jupiter, meaning that she wouldn't be able to: deliver the Athena Parthenos, delay the attack on Camp Half Blood, indirectly introduce Arion into the story and kill Orion (I could keep going, but we'd be here awhile). However, the writers of these movies have messed up so much of original plot, that this is the least of their worries Also, in the opening scene, the cyclopes throw Thalia behind them which means that the cyclopes are inside of the barrier when it is created, giving them free access to Grover, Luke and Annabeth, who in the next shot are standing what looks like 5 feet away from the shield. 12:09 It's established in the books that tech acts as big "I'm here, come kill me!" beacons for monsters. 15:59 Actually, if that Chris is Chris Rodriguez, then it would make sense for him to be there, since he deserts over to Luke's army. 20:27 Percy doesn't actually have complete control over all water. In Mark of Athena, it was a challenge to control Porkie's (I forget his real name's) water. The movie doesn't give a good explanation though. Couldn't Percy just raise the water to block the shot from Luke's bolt? Or wash him into the water bellow? 26:21 To be fair to the movie, Riptide does reappear in his pocket in the books. Kronos doesn't take the form of a bunch of jammed together corn chips in the books, he takes Luke's body. The big red giant is just an excuse to have an action scene. Did those fuckers just leave Kronos on the island? Why didn't they ask Hermes to give him a one way ticket to Tartarus? Why did they leave it for Luke to recover? Dionysus is the only good character in this movie, mainly since he has some funny lines, and is a fairly good portrayal of the books Dionysus 0/10. This movie just makes me sad and angry.

This is an old review, I know. But after stumbling across It i need to voice something that really pissed me off about this movie. This is a MASSIVE spoiler for the entire series, something that is incredibly huge that the film just throws out there. In the movie while they are on the pathetic excuse for Luke's yaught, they discover that half bloods from camp have joined him. They named chris earlier, but in this segment they toss out one incredibly important name, like its nothing. Selena Beaurigard. Why is this important? Because Selena, was a spy. Selena was a secret member of Luke's army right up until the final book in which her true nature is revealed. A moment that is incredibly impactful and was, honestly, personally shocking as we had a lot of development for Selena up to this moment. But the movie just tosses it out there like it doesnt matter. Completely killing her entire character and the events she impacts. Also, in the movies final battle against Kronos. They try to make Percy's sword the cursed blade from the prophecy. Which is just wrong. The cursed blade was Annabeths dagger, I'm sure, or at the very least something that wasn't percy's sword. It wasnt even Percy that kills Kronos with the cursed blade, its Luke. Every single word of the prophecy, they got wrong. Thank fuck this movie series died.

I realize now, all this time later, that basically the reason they included 'Circe Land' really came down to budget.

They just needed to throw chunk change at Six Flags and the city of New Orleans, the latter of which unfortunately needed all the money it could get (and still does).

This is just a bad attempt to tell a story to fill the void harry potter left that it hurts itself in the process.

Also. The target audience. The books are children's books, but this movie is aimed at teenagers. I mean. ... just ... WTF!?

[@ghostlyastronaut7925]

-------------SPOILER ALERT---------------- Remember that prophecy from the first Percy Jackson series?(the one about a child of the three main gods either saving or destroying Olympus?) Well actually there’s 5 children, Percy Jackson(Son of Poseidon), Thalia Grace(Daughter of Zeus), Jason Grace(Son of Jupiter), Nico di Angelo(Son of Hades), Hazel Levesque(Daughter of Pluto)... hehe lol

[@goodjobeli]

Jason technically tried fullfilling the prophecy, he destroyed the palace at Mount Othyrs.

+Bunny Simmer The Romans don't really seem to have a concept of the _"Big Three,"_ as neither Neptune nor Pluto are generally held in high regard at Camp Jupiter (with Neptune's shrine being equivalent to a run-down shack and Pluto, along with those associated with him, being considered a bad omen).

[@pipleaf3850]

Hazel was still dead during this book, because Nico was still in the lotus casino.

[@justincaviness]

Boss Isaac Yep, instead the other two main gods were Mars and Juno. Also, Goodbye Jason Grace. May he be at peace in Elysium.

[@stephaniecartagena5025]

It COULD have also been Bianca

[@nicolewhipple6798]

No mention of Percy's transformation into a guinea pig in the movie and we never see cere or here about her in the movie and no Freeing Rayna and the pirates who kidnapped her The description in the book of his transformation kind of scared me a little bit

[@mattneff]

I'd love to see your reaction to The Lightning Thief Musical soundtrack. The show is currently on its first national tour and it's much more faithful to the books.

[@RF-mc8cx]

YESSSS

[@artemisblake3241]

When a musical is more faithful to the source material than a fucking movie, something's wrong.

[@QuikVidGuy]

is it a show where there's enough music to follow the story? Like I won't be missing a ton if I just listen to the soundtrack?

[@pxlccino9026]

All The fans watching the movie be like: READ DA BOOOK

[@WushuKnight19]

"Continuity: We have none." You have NOT seen the Resident Evil film franchise.

[@bul13ts]

You should check out Witchcraft sometime. One of the characters swaps genders between films, and nobody says anything until the fan made finale retconned in an explanatiom.

[@DaimosZ]

The Michael Bay Transformers has even less

[@TH-cx2yx]

the worst part about this is that Luke's entire actual plan WAS to resurrect the tree, so he could convince thalia to join him since she also was a god of the big 3, and destroy olympos. this is a HUGE plot point in book 3, but they just didnt see that far.

[@jessterdayoncemore7049]

Fingers crossed for the new Disney Plus series 🤞 Although with how badly they messed up Artemis Fowl I don't have high hopes

[@alexinitalics188]

29:11 'No!? Because she joins the hunters of Artemis!' ~Me, aloud, at this moment.

[@BL4NK.F4C3]

In the movie Luke basically is that kid who had a pocket knife and says to all his friends "Hey you wanna go check this out?"

[@natalieb6465]

Fun fact: When Uncle Rick found out the cast, he actually tried to buy the rights back but they wouldn't let him.
