So, I believe changing Medusa into a victim is a little problematic since they have to kill her anyway, and then they don't kill Procrustes despite him murdering people. It was a little strange to me that they changed Hades to being cordial and slightly goofy, since he was more intimidating in the books. However, after thinking about it I think that it's actually accurate to the myths. While, yeah, the Greeks found Hades scary, in his stories he's always very accommodating. He was a very loving husband to Persephone, he let Hercules visit and take things more than once, let Orpheus try to bring his wife back, wasn't involved in the harsh punishments, didn't often get involved in things, etc.
If I could make one change, I'd have him look the same as the books (10 feet tall, black robes, sitting on the throne, 'omg this guy is evil and terrifying') and then the second he talks he acts the same as he did in the episode and then people realize that they got the wrong idea about this guy. Maybe be a little irritated that they're accusing him, but otherwise fine.

There's something so funny about the god of travelers sending them to the murderer of travelers to get into the underworld

I love how they mentioned that Procrustes is a son of Poseidon, and that he still gets to live as Hades' guard dog, killing travelers that Hermes sends despite being a murderous freak but Percy is going to punished for the crime of being born and a crime that he's framed for, and wouldn't logically make sense for him to do.

I fully expect Procrustes to be done better in the show than in the book with how they've set things up already. The question of "what makes a monster" automatically applies because he's just a non-magical human who was cruel enough to get attention from Theseus. In the book, Percy says, "If Crusty were human," Riptide wouldn't kill him. Actually, he was just as human as Gabe, and Percy knows that celestial bronze doesn't only hurt monsters. I wonder if there will be water involved instead.

I find it really weird that the show kept crusty in. Like surely for the sake of run time you could’ve cut him out completely as he has no overarching plot relevance and just make the underworld entrance at the recording studio like in the book.

I still seriously object to how Rick Riordan treats the monsters in Percy Jackson. I already made a post like this for Medusa, but now I need to make one for Procrustes. Crusty is a menace (he's willing to chop people up so they fit into his waterbeds), but he genuinely seems like he enjoys selling to people. I don't like that all these monsters who seem capable of intelligent thought are all being killed. Surely there must be a better way. You know, it's interesting rereading Percy Jackson and taking the side of the monsters. If you do manage to bring yourself to sympathize with them, the story suddenly seems a lot more nuanced. I still think an anthology series about redeemed monsters would be nice, by the way. It's something I would be interested in, at least.

Kind of mad about the Crusty's scene. Like why did you include it at all. It's like they had a checklist.
"Oh look there is Procrustes and his waterbeds, check it off," but never actually did the scene.
I fully didn't expect them to do the Waterbed Palace scene. And that was okay, dissapointing, but okay.
But then they did show Crusty's on the door, and I got super excited. Percy walks in on his own, already a departure from the book, then straight up just says "hey I know who you are and what you want to do to us. And I won't let you do it." Okay, why are we here then. They just have a very obvious exchange of metaphors then Annabeth pushes him into the trap. They did nothing of the actual scene.
The scene in the books showcased Grover's trusting, Annabeth's suspicion, and most importantly, Percy's cleverness, which, as a newcomer to the mythical world, he doesn't get to display all that often. His ability to think on his feet and find unique ways to manuver out of situations is an important part of Percy's character.
They showed none of that, and included the scene just to include it. Irritating.

Yall that are complaining about the show are using THE most nitpicky reasons omfg
Pls it was OBVIOUS who Medusa was with the whole auntie em's emporium set up
And echidna basically all but actually introduced herself when she said the monsters were her children
It actually makes more sense for at least annabeth and grover to have guessed who they were. These two who have spent their whole lives or at least most of their lives hearing these stories and studying mythology, living at camp.
The only one that might not make sense was them knowing who procrustes was but I might even be wrong about that bc he might actually be a more popular monster than I know.
