Percy Jackson was my entire childhood, he’s the reason I chose to study mythology in college. The series exposed me to so many creative ideas, and I was sooo excited for the new show the minute I heard about it!
So far, I absolutely adore it. I do think the fights scenes should be longer and more dramatic but I do understand it’s geared toward younger audiences so perhaps when Percy gets older I’ll get my fight scenes with more action. And I wish Percy did have his black hair and Annabeth her grey eyes, not sure why the change was made, maybe just CGI reasons because contacts can be annoying and hair dye is damaging, who knows.
Otherwise, it’s absolutely amazing. The monsters are extremely well done. The acting is amazing, I can’t wait to see more. It’s crazy to see how well they’re able to make their characters mannerisms and actions shine on the screen in a way that’s so uniquely PJO. It’s obviously a bit different from the books, but it’s fresh and lovely and the actors are amazing.
Anyway, I hope this show continues to tell the whole story until the very end because I’ve been waiting like 13 years for this to happen
