For those who havent read the book, the reason Tyson was able to get through the barrier: When Tyson saw Percy in danger battling the Colchis bulls, he fought tooth and nail against the barrier, crying "Percy needs help!" trying to help his friend, and Annabeth, in a moment of desperation, grants him permission to enter camp (the only way monsters can enter the barrier is if given permission), and he's able to rush in and join the fight against the bulls

[@JuMixBoox]

If I recall correctly, Percy was also a bit of a dick to Tyson in the books. He felt like the fact that his dad had kids with other people in the same time frame he was supposed to only love his mom was a betrayal. He was also looking down on monsters and seeing them as lower because his introduction to them was having to fight and effectively "kill" them to protect himself and his friends. So even though they were established as friends (I think Tyson was also homeless at the time and Percy tried to help him), it took him a while to come to terms with him as a brother. I probably haven't looked at these books in a decade though, so my expertise is limited to what came back to me when you described what the movie did wrong.

[@merlinrecon7528]

I mean kinda? Percy wasn’t a dick to tyson at least not outwardly. Percy was ashamed at tyson because of tyson’s status as a monster and because of the campers insults and comment, but he still defended and care about him, i mean he even bribed the horse to let tyson get on the chariot so they can win and show that tyson isn’t really bad

I’m surprised I don’t really see this being mentioned but that weird tension between Percy and Clarisse is evidently the writers trying to make your typical YA Love Triangle out of relationships that weren’t there in the book as that was the big thing at the time, Hunger Games & Divergent being the most famous examples of this, with the idea also probably stemming from the original merging and then splitting of the 2 characters as it’s not hard to imagine Percy ending up with Clarisse or having to choose between her and Annabeth at some point in the future if the films had continued past this disaster.

[@ghostking9425]

To even think that could have been avoided just by making Clarisse big and giving her more character than self obsession.

[@carpevinum8645]

Discussing motivations: also didn't Percy's mum tell him to do what he needed to/what was right? And Chiron was blamed for the poisoned tree and fired, and Percy wanted to clear his name.

One thing that wasn’t mentioned that PISSED ME OFF SO MUCH is that half of the feats Grover mentioned that Clarisse did are actually short stories from the books that Percy actually did. The Ares Chariot was Clarisse AND Percy, with Clarisse actually needing Percy’s help. The Bronze Dragon Quest refers to Festus, Leo’s dragon from Heroes of Olympus that Leo tamed, with no help from anyone else. So that means that the writers were at least aware of these short stories, they just decided not to actually read them.

What ticks me off is that they name-drop the adventures from the Demigod Files, which I absolutely loved, but they f*** it up anyways. First, those all take place between books 4 and 5, and all showcase elements that haven’t been introduced yet. Second, Clarisse only shows up in one of those: the stolen chariot. Third, in that one, Percy helps Clarisse (who begrudgingly accepts his help) to recover Area’s chariot and to prove herself to her father. Putting aside the character development that hasn’t happened yet this far in the movie, Percy willingly lets Clarisse take the credit because a) she’s proving herself to her father and can’t let him know she got help and b) he just wanted to help a friend. He didn’t *want* credit; he just saw someone in need and helped them. That’s why this whole “one-quest wonder” bit falls so short for me: Percy doesn’t *care* about that stuff. In the Sea of Monsters book, Percy actually notes that he’s happy they didn’t get any credit for the quest.

Upon further inspection, that's one of the reasons why the Giants in heroes of Olympus don't seem quite as threatening as the Titans. Sure, Percy was able to battle guys like Hyperion and krios, but that was only when he had a lot of help, a terrain advantage, a few years experience and a few tricks that not even he fully understood. And the only reason they killed Kronos was because Luke killed himself before he could reform. And then there's the Giants, who are not only bigger but allegedly as strong, if not stronger. All of them are custom made to defeat a certain god and can only be killed by gods and demigods together. A supposed tough weakness, but apparently it doesn't matter which god helps kill them. And yes, I know that the prophecy kids are strong, but you expect me to believe that they killed the Giants after wading through an army with only their respective parents? And it didn't even take that much effort once the kids and parents started working together

[@Doomzdeh]

@@owenmaleski2203 It’s because the Gigantes were actually considerably weak in Greek Mythology. They were defeated by the Gods much easier and quicker than the Titans ever could have been. The Titans (and the Gods) defeated Primordial-level threats, yet the Gigantes could never even beat Heracles. Plus, the Gigantes were dumber than the Titans too. They didn’t have as varied of powers as the Titans and never had the strategic logic to have children to swell their numbers. Legitimately the only thing that ever made them a threat was that Demigods had to aid the Gods to defeat them, so the Gods had to find a Demigod capable of defeating immortals and keep that Demigod alive.

Took my sister to see the movie at the theater (because we had foolish hope). Yes this whole movie was dumb but during the brotherly hugging scene, I kept telling my sister "they can hug later. Get the fleece. Omg get the damn fleece."

If I had a nickel for every inaccuracy, mythical, or to the book, I would have enough nickels to buy the company and make the movies good

Wait. In the Demigod Files, Annabeth, Percy, and Silena Beauregard go after the remnants of the broken Bronze Dragon to save Beckendorf from the giant ant hill. Also, Clarisse *AND* Percy recover Ares’ stolen chariot. The Demigod Files was published after the Battle of the Labyrinth.

I still remember my Mom taking me to see this movie in the theater back in 2013. Back then, I knew nothing about the book series or greek mythology in general. No joke, back in those days, I thought Poseidon and Neptune were the merman brothers who created the city of Atlantis.

I saw it on tv after reading the books and I thought it was half good I think I noticed some differences but oh well, but I only in the last few months realized how much I liked trash movies that I shouldn’t of liked, I liked the last air bender movie even, for f’s sake. Luckily I realized how bad The Maze Runner movie was with it’s problems after reading the book in class, and now know how bad those others were, pretty sure I just never thought about anything in regards to the story in the slightest with those movies until that The Maze Runner.

[@jennifermc1221]

I would be interested in reading a book or seeing a TV show about that

[@legoking6165]

I also remember earlier that day, we were at a bookstore, I got my hands on a Spongebob Squarepants comic book and I had it with me while we where in the theater. In fact I still have that comic book to this day in my comic book collection.

[@ailbrown1000]

Hell yeah. I like that lore. Neptune and Poseidon being like Romulus and Remus.

@@pokegmystery2954 I enjoyed the first percy jackson film, the last air bender movie and the maze runner movie. But for all of them I watched the movies first and went on to enjoy the original even more.

[@andrewcuddeback1906]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Chiron was framed in this book to be the one that poisoned the tree and Percy does his super clever golden drachma trick to prove his innocence. That was one of my favorite parts of the book

It's like that "I'll kidnap a THOUSAND CHILDREN before I let this company die" moment from Monsters Inc. only Seaweed Brain's proving innocence.

[@dylans.1741]

Actually, there's evidence to suggest that they were originally going to use that plotline. Not only was Tantalus going to be in the first draft of the film, but they even cast Mark Hamill to play him. But then for whatever reason, they dropped it because I guess it would have been too accurate to the book
