The new Percy Jackson is not THAT BAD (an og fan pov)

[@RockwellSocratese]

I loved the show, I thought it was a good stand alone series. Trying to compare the book to it, is like trying to compare Ready Player One Movie to the book Ready Player One.

[@tracesosebee5485]

A lot of the problems I see people citing with the show come from the fact that it is meant for a young audience. Fans of the books are adults now, and have adult levels of expectation about storytelling. That's not to say kids can't have taste, but exposition, laying things out plainly for kids, is not a bad thing. And a lot of the changes made on story beats are actually really good and serve the story well. Yes Gabe is worse in the books but there's a difference between writing domestic abuse and showing it

exactly this.

What about big story changes like making the solstice pass
