Kinda funny that, in the show, they accidentally set the precedent of Percy passing out when he fights monsters. Like imagine knowing nothing about the books and watching the Mrs. Dodds “fight” and the Minotaur fight and being like “how do half-bloods survive if they pass out every time they fight one monster??” Lmao

For my Poseidon helps Sally raise Percy AU I cant decide if I want Hades to try calling his nephew to see if he stole his helm of darkness, or if I just want him send Alecto after him to retrieve it. Both options can be equally comedic. In the first option Hades calls Percy a few times, but he receives no reply since Percy is busy and in school. He then tries to text Percy asking to call him back, but Percy who is again busy leaves him on read. Hades interpreters this as guilt and he asks Alecto to retrieve his helm of darkness from his nephew.
In the second option Hades does not call his nephew to ask if he stole his helm of darkness and he just sends Alecto after him. When Percy gets to the underworld he’s pissed, and he calls his uncle out saying, ‘you’ve could have just called me and asked if I took your stupid helmet.” Which yeah Hades could’ve but he ended up being extra instead.

So when I read the Percy Jackson books about a year ago for the first time, one of things I loved the most was how the gods, goddesses, and other mythical beings were portrayed. They seemed human-like when they were first introduced but as Percy and the other characters interacted with them, there was something not quite human about them. They often subtly, or not-so-subtly, showed themselves to be prideful, manipulative, and unsympathetic to the demi-gods.
I was really curious how the actors in the show would play these ancient mythical beings and they did not disappoint so far. Dionysus instantly tries to emotionally manipulate Percy to get him wine and can't understand why Sally Jackson's life matters to Percy because to him, she's only a mortal so she doesn't matter. He lacks human connection and empathy because he's a god.
Alecto, Medusa, and Echidna all have this unearthly presence. The trio can tell that something is not quite right about them but it is not until they start interacting with them more that they realize what it is. There's something hypnotic about them and their presence instantly unsettles you and draws you into the story unfolding on the screen.
I'm so excited to see how the other gods, goddesses, and monsters are portrayed as the season continues.

so i've just joined the pjo series discourse on sm (i've read all the books) so maybe people might have already said this but i feel like the monster fights are kinda underwhelming ?? the fights themselves but the atmosphere around them too. i'm just going to say it point by point to be clearer :
Mrs. Dodds: she's the first monster and threat of the show. i was waiting for something scary and surprising, that would have terrified percy or something. but instead the "reveal" was slow, and there wasn't even a fight, he just kind of opened the sword (even tho we don't even see him doing it) and she just. dies like that ?? it was really easy and i get that they can't just kill percy in the first ep but there wasn't even a bit of struggle or anything. tbh this first fight really dissapointed me. there was mystery that creates an intrigue but she just wasn't scary or a menace imo (EDIT : I HAVE NOW REREAD THE SCENE AND IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THE FIGHT PLAYS OUT IN THE BOOK (extract down below) so forget everything i said in this part, i'm sorry. )
Tumblr media
2. The minotaur : i liked this one much more than the first one, the car chase was thrilling and the atmosphere of the scene was really cool. i've only got one little thing to say about it, but i think it's just a me thing and i'm nitpicking (idk how to make gifs so i hope you can picture it in your head) :
when sally takes percy's jacket to lure the minotaur away from the boys and uses it as a red cape like in a corrida, i think it kinds of take the attention away from the fear of the monster in itself by being comedic. AGAIN i know i'm nitpicking here but why not say it.
(also i regret that the last scene was so far away from the camera and from the camp border. i know it's bc it's percy's pov but i loved percy's desperation in the movie (I KNOW IT'S BAD) when he's failing to save his mother and finally sees her (and her emotions) when she is gets taken away from him.)
3. Medusa : i LOVED what they tried to do with medusa and how they tried to make us sympathise with her. however, the fight was REALLY dissapointing to me. it kind of happened from nowhere. it's implied that it's annabeth plan but it really happened way too fast and did not give enought time for the viewer to appreciate the threat that medusa can be. it felt way to easy for them to beat MEDUSA. the fight lasted 5 seconds max and it felt shy in a way, like as if they didn't not want to fuck it up.
+ special mention : 4. Clarisse: I'M NOT SAYING SHE'S A MONSTER, I'M JUST PUTTING HER HERE BC TECHNICALLY SHE WAS A THREAT TO PERCY. i like dior's acting, idk anything about her outside of the show but i'm going to be honest : not knowing the cast at all, at first i immediately thought she was drew 😭. she IS a really pretty girl but for me she doesn't emanate clarisse's ares' daughter vibe. when her spear broke she was so GOOD, but appart from that she's just really chill i think ? like she's not menacing, she just kind of a mean girl bully (which clarisse is ig but she's not a menace enough imo) and tbh i think she's just not as "rough" as i think she could have been.
tldr : i think the fights were not scary enough and did not set a good tone for the series. they were also too easy and fast for them to be enjoyable.
of course i still enjoy this show a lot so i will be watching the next episodes and the rest of it so maybe there will be improvements. please yell what you guys think !!
it's the first time i ever talk so much on tumblr, so i hope it was readable. if there was any mistakes please tell me, english is not my first language.

One thing that bugged me about the pjo show so far was how anti-climatic the Dodds fight was. Like it’s kinda a big thing in the book as it’s Percy’s first real interaction with the mythical world, and even the movies understood its role as the inciting incident and honestly did a fine job with that scene.
But then I realized, at this point Percy doesn’t know if what he sees is real or not, so the audience doesn’t either. The fight with Dodds is so low key because they want the audience to also question if what’s happening is real the same way Percy is. If they made it big and showy, Percy would still doubt it while as viewers it’d be easier to be like c’mon Percy course it’s real, because we know how shows work. Doing it this way lets us understand Percy’s doubt because the fight doesn’t feel real in the same way the rest of the other scenes do.
