okay but like the way they introduced the fatal flaws was so subtle and soooo insanely good. like alecto playing on annabeth's pride to get her to give up percy versus medusa appealing to percy's loyalty to get him to give up annabeth and grover. sooo good fr fr.

i was just thinking, when alecto says that annabeth was the pride of Athena's offspring and perhaps the most formidable demigod child alive... she was playing into Annabeth's fatal flaw.

Pride. Hubris.

if Annabeth had taken that in, and gotten a big head about it, it could've been her downfall.

i know alecto's speech to annabeth was playing to her pride, trying to convince annabeth that she didn't need percy on this quest of hers, was better without him, but man... this line:

"... you're exactly what they say you are. the pride of athena's offspring. perhaps the most formidable demigod child alive."

i mean, my pride was swelling! like they actually say that? about annabeth? my annabeth?? i mean shucks.. you're not wrong, but it's nice to hear it said aloud.

i just watched eppy 3 and i need to rewatch it before i have more coherent thoughts but here are my reactions

LOVED:

- how scary the oracle was?!?! like just thinking about going up there and seeing that….in the books i was like come on it doesn’t sound that scary. but now i get it

- percy cutting off chiron to pick annabeth for the quest and seeing how pleased she was and then the fucking look on her face when percy admitted he picked her bc he couldn’t imagine her as a friend (who might betray him) YOWZA

- i loved percy’s lil moment with grover when he tells him he picked him for the quest….the g-man….

- the BICKERING!!!! the dynamic between percy and annabeth is already so entertaining and good and i cannot WAIT to see their relationship develop

- THE CONSENSUS SONG DHDHFKGK AND WHEN PERCY BROUGHT IT BACK

- annabeth’s moment saying goodbye to thalia and percy saying “i guess she’s really gonna miss that tree” hdhdjfkg

- the new scene of alecto playing to annabeth’s pride to try and get her to hand over percy and her not doing it……..

- MEDUSA!!!!!!! I LOVED WHAT THEY DID WITH MEDUSA OMFGGGGG!!!!! first of all her costume and design went so hard and i love the more nuanced and sympathetic take on her…it was such a good way to introduce the gods’ wrath and their unfair judgment and how loyalty and worship isnt always rewarded. it’s nice to bring this up early as a foundation for luke’s motivations later

- just the establishment of annabeth’s goals and values at the beginning of her character arc. The reverence and respect she has for athena in contrast to percy’s bitter resentment of poseidon is so good

- the fucking. fire on the stairs of the garden emporium? wtf the entire set of this episode was so cool. the quaint welcoming homey house in contrast to the Fiery Cavern of Death

- percy and annabeth saying they killed the fury/medusa rather than give each other up……….ffuuuuuccckkkkk

- uncle ferdinand :(

- “I AM IMPERTINENT” !!!!! honest to god one of my favorite percy moments and i’m so glad it got included

complaints

- the oracle scene was really abrupt and i wish there was more explanation for what/who the oracle was. if i wasn’t already a fan of the series i would’ve been really confused. also the fact that she was in a rocking chair and not a tripod. also i don’t understand why the prophecy was given through the image of gabe?? it made that scene feel silly when it didn’t need to be silly

- I WANTED TO KNOW WHO ALL THE CAMPERS THAT CHIRON HAD GATHERED WERE!!! I WANT NAMES CHIRON!!!!!!

- they didn’t explode the bus :( and i only saw two furies

- annabeth didn’t explain the poseidon vs. athena feud and i wonder if that’s just not going to be a thing? not necessarily disappointed about that, just an observation

- the fight with medusa was really brief and abrupt and it felt like they built so much tension for an unsatisfying payoff. however annabeth using her invisibility cap was so smart of her and also smart of the producers to avoid showing gore and upsetting violence so as not to upset the younger audience and parents

UNFILTERED REACTIONS TO PJO SHOW EPISODE 3: yes, spoilers. No, coherence.

ORACLEEEEE

HAHAHAHAHA THE WAY HIS VOICE BROKE SO PERFECTLY WITH THE “hi!”

I FORGOT. I FORGOT THE GREEN MIST TURNS INTO PEOPLE. GABE APPEARING SURPRISED THE SHIT OUTTA ME XD

Groverrrrrrrr. My sweet precious boi. Him having absolute faith that Grover would not be the one to betray him 😫

Jfc even if I didn’t know about the shoes I’d be pissed Luke gave me a whole ass extra box to carry on my trip

But also him trying to justify to Luke why he didn’t choose him bc he appreciates Luke’s friendship that much… but doesn’t trust Annabeth and Luke potentially overriding him??? AHHHHHHHHHH

“Changed the balance of power on Olympus” as the reflection of the Empire State Building passes by!!

I FORGOT GROVER’S WHOLE THING IS MUSIC. NOT HIM MAKING IT COMPLETELY CAMP VIBES BY TRYING TO SING A FRIENDSHIP SONG MY PRECIOUS CHILD I LOVE YOU

They’re really playing hard into Annabeth’s pridefulness

That whole convo with Alecto was really interesting in how she was trying to lure Annabeth

ANNABETH’S DAGGER

UNCLE FERDINAND

ohhhhh so they knew from the jump who Aunty Em is??? Interesting. Guess they’re putting priorities elsewhere

Do appreciate a little opening up of our worries. The way Walker’s face moved and how he spoke when he talked about feeling alone despite choosing the two people he could be most confident wouldn’t betray him.

But Grover just being an absolute gem!! I love him. Consensus song works!!!

ALSO WE REALLY GOT PERCY SENDING MEDUSA’S HEAD TO THE GODS.

“I am impertinent” HAHAHAHA

AND OUR FIRST FREAKING HERMES SIGHTING!!!

Lol the promo for the next ep where they’re vigorously tossing water onto Percy to help him heal XD

Very interesting the adjustments they’ve made for this ep. I do like the reframing of Medusa while not brushing off all the subsequent atrocities she did with her power and challenging Annabeth’s thus far unwavering faith in her mother with the idea that the gods are in fact fallible and have faults like any other being. This will all hopefully eventually lead her to the righteous and unfiltered hatred of Hera, which we all love her for.
