Percy Jackson et les Olympiens

So very far from the mark. I had hope that the film adaptations could redeem themselves, since this was a huge part of many of our childhoods. The script is bad enough, but it is further ruined by pointless story changes, and boring scenes that leave you just wanting it to be over already.

Disney yet again runs out of ideas, even when the source material is right in front of them. Sincerely hoping that the series drops, same as what happened to the movies, to leave room for a possible, successful reboot in the future.

Watching is a waste of time. Read the books and preserve your view of the characters since this isn't them.

Well, it's here. The first two episodes are out, and here are my early thoughts.

I've been excited for Season 2-although I'll admit it snuck up on me. Overall, it's good, but it doesn't feel like a step up from Season 1. As a longtime fan of the Percy Jackson books (even though I haven't reread them in years), I still enjoyed returning to this world.

What really carried these first two episodes for me was Leah Jeffries' emotional performance. She absolutely steps up this season and brings real depth to Annabeth. Walker Scobell continues to be strong and reliable as Percy, and Daniel Diemer does a wonderful job as Tyson, adding warmth and heart. The supporting cast also delivers solid performances across the board.

From a technical standpoint, the production quality looks great, and the CGI is genuinely impressive. That said, the season so far feels very familiar-almost like we're watching Season 1 again rather than seeing a clear evolution in storytelling or tone.

Overall though, - as a fan - I'm excited to see what quest the Lightning Thief will go on next!

I knew this was gonna be mid. The comics are the best adaptation I've seen so far and they've convinced me that motion picture adaptations of Rick's stories need to be animated. They blew through ~120 million to make a boring show with boring fights when they could've spent a fraction of that to deliver a show as entertaining as Avatar The Last Airbender, Young Justice, Invincible, etc.

I'm baffled by the people who imagined things in live-action when reading the books, some of the scenes sounded so goofy and outlandish that I couldn't imagine anything but a comic book come to life. I understand Rick felt pressure to match series like Harry Potter and Hunger Games and I think Walker Scobell has the kind of charisma to compete with the main actors from those franchises, but PJO was obviously never going to be like those books. They should've taken a risk and paved their own path.

I waited a long time for this series. I watched the entire thing and didn't really feel it. I mean the story line is a lot closer to the book that the attempted movie adaptation. But I think the cast is not ready or not directed well. Though the movie lost the original story, the actors and actress did a better job. But I have to put in consideration that the ages of the three protagonists are accurate, I'm afraid they didn't capture the essence of the characters. I didn't feel them. Of course they were very young so I guess I better put that into consideration. I hope they'll do a better job with the Sea of Monsters or the show might not last another season.

I have not read the books, My daughters and wife have read them and were anxious for this series.

I really liked the actors and thought they did a decent job. The effects and look of the series were well done.

My problem was the series felt very rushed. After seeing the entire series I feel it could have been 2-5 episodes longer to supply more detail, build the world out, raise the stakes and allow us to get to know what's at stake.

I know books are always better...but remember I have not read the books and I could tell it was rushed.

My wife and daughter overall enjoyed the series, but were let down at how thin it seemed.

I plan to read the series now to see what I missed!
