worst AND saddest part of percy jackson S3, the adaptation of the titants curse, is going to be percy realising for the 2nd summer IN A ROW, that he will never be camp's first choice if they can have someone else, even after all he did for them.
in s2 people literally groaned when he, pretty smartly, actually, pointed out that if you sail the sea of monsters, to go to Polyphemus', a son of poseidon, island to steal something from him it would be good to have a son of poseidon in your crew to smooth as many things out as they can, not to mention he also already went on a mission and clarisse hadn't.
chiron for the 2nd time lied to him about something very important and WORLD altering, because of a "oh! what if. . ." thought process that didn't even made sense timeline wise
last summer he came back to camp pretty chill and okay with his father, even understanding of why they can't have the normal parent x child relationship mortals can, he also understood that poseidon still misses and loves sally with poseidon chocking up with the "do you still dream about mom?" question, at the beginning of the summer he was angry and judgmental and ready to jump at the person who accused him of being a son of poseidon, at the end of the summer, even after being betrayed by his first friend at camp and mentor figure, he was smiling
and chiron had the audacity to go "Oh, yeah, Annabeth, lie to him like Grover did, because, who knows, Percy might destroy Olympus, kisses, stay safe!!!"
percy gave up the glory of completing a second quest because he knew it was important to clarisse to have that for herself, he inspired and lead camp to their first victory against kronos' forces
and in it he again made sure Clarisse had AND was seen with Fleece and the one who uses it to restore Camp's protective barrier and bring back Thalia, and like even if you weren't in the within hearing distance of him telling clarisse "you need to be the one to do this." he still inspired you and lead your forces into victory with little to no time of preparation and all disadvantages possible, clarisse even tells him "we need you around" at the end of the summer.
and then in less than a year, he is going to be sidelined AGAIN, chrion is going to teach thalia how to control the mist, camp is going to rally behind her, not to mention the whole plotline of percy hearing annabeth and grover talk about her like she is god's gift to earth and how they miss her and how she will fix things, when: one, he had a nightmare, and told annabeth about it, of thalia joining kronos
and two, he is the one fixing things for the past two summers and people still mistrust him.
this whole plot pisses me off, like genuinely, yes it is a corrupt and broken system that will only change for better after percy wins the war, but he is a 2 summers quest veteran a pretty good leader that actually managed a victory against a surprise attack, he is a hero, and everyone is treating him like a consolation prize, it's so frustrating
i honestly hope they develop percy's and clarisse's friendship (even though clarisse isn't in the ttcs book, but the directors and writers changed more for less payoff) as a counterpoint to annabeth and thalia, clarisse was always sidelined because she is the hotheaded god of war child, and not the cunning collective goddess of war descendent, and percy is constantly everyone's 2nd choice specially after thalia resurrects, so like, underdogs you gotta unite!!!!!
