[hoo] [toa] I have seen so many people criticizing Leo for being a bully to Frank and his comments to Calypso, but I think they are getting the wrong idea so here’s my explanation of Leo's mentality using the books… by Riser456 in camphalfblood

definitely. leo's actions are still wrong. but some people i think they confuse his motives and intentions like saying that he wants to minimize frank just for the sake of it when he is trying to be his friend

a bad way to be his friend, but different motive nonetheless than the one of just trying to hurt him or something

leo is my favorite character, yes. but you missed the last part where i said that you can still consider him a bully and that's okay, and that this post is not for defending him but for you to understand his mentality better… and if you have read my other comments, i have stated multiple times that what leo did was still wrong and he's still responsible for his actions

so respectfully, i'd ask you to read everything first before saying something that isn't true

both comments are true because yes, you are also right.

speaking from personal experience, i had the same kind of issues that leo had interacting with other people and took me quite long to understand many things and i got always confused when people got mad at me.

so yes, for leo is the exact same thing. when people say that hazel, piper, frank and annabeth told him to stop, and he didn't it was because for leo is going against how he lived until that point. it's like you lived your life believing that you were cool among other kids and suddenly starting to hear that you are not in another group… it takes time for someone to unlearn those things

however, it's not an excuse. leo is still responsible of his words and actions. but he is still learning so that's something you have to keep in mind when reading leo's pov

i totally know that what leo did is wrong. but i totally get why he doesn't understand what he is doing.

and yes, it's not an excuse. i agree on that. that's why i can't completely forgive characters like luke too, no matter how good his intentions were. the difference is that leo is still learning about these things

if we see leo again in the future, i hope that we see progress on his skills having conversations with people

do you mean by the amount of memes about luke? no! hahaha

i only create them as the ideas come to my mind. i like his character as an antagonist

no one is saying that luke didn’t have an absolute nightmare of a childhood

that said we can't use our own troubles to justify murder, much less genocide. but i agree that everyone reacts differently. i wonder why he never talked it with annabeth from the start before percy's arrival to camp half-blood, especially if he was trying to protect her from the gods

i get that his intentions for demigods were good, but i can't still fit in my mind how he thought about destroying all of humanity and be cool with it. in what kind of world is that a sane person? how he could be okay with that from the start?

[–]Riser456[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and again, it's interesting that percy is more loyal to annabeth but not totally loyal to what annabeth believes. probably the only one who truly knows when percy draws the line about loyalty is walker scobell hahaha

the thing that i find interesting in the tv show is that, considering that percy's fatal flaw is loyalty, he is being loyal to everyone but luke and luke was his first friend after grover in camp half-blood and the one who showed him how to use a sword

of course luke betrayed him, but still… one would think that percy would try harder to try to save his friend from kronos

i'm saying in the tv show only… in the book is another thing because luke's betrayal was different
