Somehow the trio already know EVERYTHING. They know aunty em is medusa, they know ares, they know what the lotus casino is and what it will do to them. Half of the fight is supposed to be them using their knowledge and skills to figure it out. Now there's no tension, no suspense, stuff just happens.

Honestly I'm most mad at how they portrayed Sally and Gabe's relationship. The whole point was to show how much Sally was willing to sacrifice to protect Percy. Here, they made Gabe just seem like some mildly annoying housemate instead of the abusive stepfather and husband he was. He literally hit Sally in the books. She's scared of him but stays anyway for Percy. She is not able to boss him around like in the show. This would also water down how and why Percy is so protective of her, which we read about even until the moment Paul Blofis tells him he's going to propose to Sally.

Honestly Percy's lack of reaction in a lot of these scenarios is kinda reasonable. Imagine you're a 12 year old and find out your best friend is a magical creature, the mix of shock, processing the information and the "how cool is this" factor works well for a kid. It was way worse in the film where Percy was pretty much an adult.

They kinda did the step dad wrong, like at least in the movie he was a jerk and unlikeable but in the show heās just kinda a burn out with no life. Heās supposed to be this super rude abusive guy who Percyās mom only stays with bc his āstenchā is so much that he shields Percy from the monsters.

The major gripe I have with the show is how everything seems anticlimactic. They immediately figure out that Auntie Em is Medusa and kill her by just putting Annabeth's invisibility cap on her and slicing her head off, instead of a full-on chase/fight scene using their ingenuity. Really powerful monster chasing you? Just immediately pop Medusa's head out. Other than that, it feels good. The casting feels odd for some characters, mainly Annabeth and Luke. Luke doesn't feel like the guy to turn on the gods and steal Zeus' lightning bolt, nor one of the best warriors in camp. Annabeth just feels like a robot; she's too stiff, too monotone. Good show, though

To be fair, Lukeās initial role was always this ātour guideā esque position. As leader of the Hermes cabin, heād be in charge of explaining all of it to anyone new, just by the nature of his responsibilities. Of course his role is very different later on, but at the beginning he is very much a plot device lol

Coming from an OG PJ fan:
Although I like the show as is, there are definitely a couple things I would do differently. The humor, for one, is a big part for me. There was so much humor and sarcasm in the books that I feel was mostly glossed over by the show, and what jokes there as few and far between, at least for me. Youāre supposed to believe that Percy and the gang are bouncing off each other and just joking around, but the humor of the script feels almost stale. I donāt know if that will get better over time, but I hope so.
Another thing ( a bit more minor) is that so far, it doesnāt feel like Percy is really the āleaderā of the quest. Itās mostly just Annabeth and Grover carrying him along like a puppet. I know that thereās supposed to be shock and Percy trying to scramble to keep up with his new life as a demigod, but it feels like he just lags behind everyone else, when in the books, Rick created a great balance of Percy stepping up as a leader, while also being a teammate to Annabeth and Grover.
Just my thoughts ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ

Fun fact, Rick Rhodian wrote a 12 page essay of how bad the first film was, and how was going to flop and send it to the director and writers.
