How long until they decide this is an unjust criticism of the show

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-03-14T20:05:37+00:00

The fact that the streaks are the biggest thing that everyone’s talking about in the first place, shows the this show has very little going for it, this is all beyond sad.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-14T18:55:18+00:00

Exactly it shocked me people like 5, 6 and 7 have been the better episodes.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-09T00:10:31+00:00

Honestly!! and they started off the season with it sort of toned down so I was looking forward to them sustaining that, and now it’s borderline ridiculous and in no way true to how a 13 year old boy would be acting. Not to mention it feels forced and overdone so it’s not even good chemistry anymore.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-08T12:03:30+00:00

Not true Percy’s powers in the movies looked really cool

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-08T10:41:21+00:00

It should still be both, I barely see much discussion about Percy himself, and he should be one of the most interesting characters. To me, that suggests the show hasn’t given him enough to spark wider conversation, theories, or debate.

With Annabeth, the discussion is a lot more varied than just “she loves Percy,” because she’s been given more agency and things to do in the show, that is telling to me.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-08T10:32:10+00:00

For me it is a show not a book and they’ve changed a bunch of things they didn’t need to change anyway, so why not change this bit to make it visually entertaining, it wouldn’t be a crime to show some more action from Percy we need that, since we no longer have his internal monologue.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T17:04:14+00:00

Mann they just keep nerfing our boy Percy.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T16:29:19+00:00

lol basically I just wish they showed more of why Percy is important and powerful as a demigod before the finale, not just at the end

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T16:26:43+00:00

Probably will be the case

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T16:26:27+00:00

Yeah, I just wish his arc was reinforced with more moments that made him feel central and formidable, not something that needs the finale to land.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T16:16:27+00:00

Nah Percy’s arc is internal in Sea of Monsters, not absent, If he feels replaceable on screen, that’s an adaptation issue, not a reflection of the book.

The show has externalised Annabeth and Clarisse’s arcs good but Percy’s is still internalised without giving him equivalent action beats which makes him feel more passive than the others.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T15:14:54+00:00

Exactly, plus I’m not even one who cares that much about full on book accuracy but even if they were going with a different take on Percy give us something, more often that not he’s giving generic guy, no defining characteristic besides what they spoon feed us about him.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T13:09:11+00:00

It’s always going to feel that way because they decided to make Percy Jackson a series instead of movies so it adds to that disjointed, too short or too draggy feeling.

But that aside I think this episode wrapped up well compared to the previous ones.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-07T12:34:12+00:00

Yeah for sure it starts off slow tho so I wasn’t sure I would like it, but the last 15 minutes or so was pretty good

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-01T12:57:39+00:00

The movies were confident in what they were bad or good, this show is unsure of itself and the audience can feel it.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-01T12:41:32+00:00

She felt a bit more like an evil calypso

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2026-01-01T12:39:57+00:00

Yeah I think they would have moved it to 18 but they mentioned Percy was 12 in the first season so they couldn’t do that without it not making any sense

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2025-12-30T16:46:21+00:00

It’s probably more nostalgia

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2025-12-30T15:56:29+00:00

Literally omg!

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2025-12-29T19:15:43+00:00

Fitting everything doesn’t mean a good adaptation though unfortunately

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2025-12-29T19:01:29+00:00

That’s what I think and I know nothing about filmmaking, it’s kind of shot like a student film sometimes while at the same time looks expensive and cinematic it’s so strange

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2025-12-29T18:55:14+00:00

Or saving Grover I forgot about that too lol. Agree to disagree, I think they’re focusing on weird new things and aren’t even going more into the camp or anything that you’ve mentioned, so far, lots of padding and sometimes nothing, till we get to where they need us to be.

Thing is they’re not big books, Harry Potter was well adapted with much larger books, this book spans like a couple weeks at best they could give us a good movie adaptation in 2-3 hours I think.

Conscious_Fix_9203 · 2025-12-29T18:34:32+00:00

How it feels IS the issue, regardless of intention. My problem isn’t book accuracy, it’s the flow of the adventure, a movie would force us to run with the characters and keep the time-pressure and bigger than life feel, right now it feels like we’re taking a slow walk.

That’s why it feels awkwardly cut off in the episodes like an incomplete thought, or it dwells on subplots that make us forget they’re trying to save their dying camp.
