Episode Two:

What I like/love:

ANNABETH OMG OMG OMG SHE'S HERE

Grover my precious child <3

Mr. D. Just Mr. D. Also does not help he's played by one of my favourite actors who played one of my all-time favourite characters (aka Pimento). He's an ass, but a goofy ass. Like after watching the Insta preview of his convo with Percy, I knew he was going to be an ass about it, but I didn't expect him to say he was Percy's dad to get alcohol ToT.

Percy's sass: 100000/10

Walker's acting deserves an award.

Luke just Luke. The poor man sounds more sad than angry (Which honestly makes the finale 10x better if you think about it since it'll feel more like a twist for people who don't know)

Luke just Luke because he's so charismatic.

Percy learning archery and being in the forges on the comedy scale is 1000000000000/10.

Chris and Luke being besties and being close on-screen and Chris just getting more screen time. Do you guys think he's still unclaimed??? (If so... A+ parenting Lin, no wonder your son/s hates you)

Percy and Annabeth

'She's my little sister'- YESSSSSSSSSS

Luke being the one to tell Percy bout Thalia because it just makes sense cause yknow. But also it helps Luke's character as well.

Totally not biased because I love the Diary of Luke Castellan.

Clarisse (That's all I have to say)

THE PORTRAYAL OF ARES KIDS IN THE SHOW>>>>. Like we were always told how scary they were, but like in the dumb jock, bully way. I'm probs just nitpicking but I love how Chris literally says that Clarisse spends the first few hours hunting in the woods (Guerilla warfare tactics anyone?). Idk why but I think that just shows how dangerous the Ares kids are. Like the Athena kids are always hyped and everything for the strategic warfare, but cmon there HAD to be a reason why everyone was so worried bout the Ares kids joining the Battle of Manhatten. Like it had to be more than they were kids of the War god. (Hello the Spartans worshipped Ares and were one of the greatest warriors in history, they were just given a bad rep due to the Athenians writing down history and the myths)

Also, what's gonna happen with Chris and Clarisse???

Tots not biased since I have a weird love for Ares (fav god in the myths) and his kids

The gods (aka Mr. D) showing why they are in fact assholes.

Percy in capture the flag.

The whole mentality of 'if I get glory my absentee parent will notice me' (Honestly I see how people were converted to stick the middle finger at the gods and joined Kronos)

Percy being mini Luke.

Annabeth figuring out Percy was the son of Poseidon.

The argument between Percy and Mr. D about the quest.

YESSS PERCY DEFEND YOUR MOM (the gods do not in fact care for mortals)

Grover telling Percy about what happened to Sally.

Percy being anti-gods

Neutral

Clarisse being a more modern bully. Kinda works I guess. Though why do they think he's being a fake? Like just keep it being an initiation ritual, still works and teenagers will do that.

Criticism

I want to join in on the fun :) Will post two posts since I realised how much I wrote for episode one

SPOILERS

EPISODE ONE:

What I love/like:

Honestly, it is not too bad

I really like how the first mythological being Percy sees is a pegasus specifically a black pegasus (Imagine it's Blackjack). This is a little detail I also love since Percy's half-brother is Pegasus (And was born after Perseus slew Medusa)

On the topic of Medusa (My favourite myth btw is Perseus and Medusa), I really love how Sally says the whole quote about not every hero who kills a monster is a hero and not every monster is a monster (Which she mainly refers to Medusa). Which is 1. absolutely foreshadowing Tyson (CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND AND WE NEED A SEASON 2 JUST FOR TYSON) and 2. Alluding to some changes to Medusa's character (Considering Uncle Rick has said episode 3 will focus more on Medusa's actual character)

Side note for the quote: It just serves for the anti-gods narrative, considering how many monsters were kind of by-products of the gods NOT caring about mortals.

Mythomagic being somewhat more relevant to the characters and plot is also really an amazing change from the books, considering how it's always felt like a one-book thing.

The scene with Mrs Dodds is more compelling considering it was a convo they had in Percy's mind and it's easier to be like, oh she was all in your mind.

My heart hurt with THAT scene of Grover and Walker did an amazing job showing Percy's emotions.

A little change that I'm also really fond of is how Eddie isn't one of Gabe's poker buddies, which I love specifically due to what ends up happening to Gabe (And his buddies in the books). Speaking of Gabe, he's such an ass but he's kinda funny in a goofy way.

PERCY SASSING GABE IS GOLD. Like- POP OFF

Percy gets his sass from his mom

Also, was anyone else tearing up during Sally's talk with Percy? The actors did so well, and it's nice that Sally was the one to tell Percy about him being a demigod.

The scenes with Grover, Sally, and Percy were so funny. Sally: Boys. Grover: I'm actually 24.

Really small, but I love how the Minotaur sounds like an elephant (Don't ask why I just do).

The entire Minotaur fight scene was good, emotional (SALLY REACHING OUT FOR PERCY I CAN'T- ToT) and a little bit more logical (Much more believable that Percy broke its horn off and stabbed it in the head instead of the chest)

Neutral Ground:

The removal of names have power lore, which I like that it's removed for the monsters. I feel completely differently in the next episode.

Criticisms/Pet Peeves:

Why is Gabe using a laptop???? Won't that attract monsters? Also is he still Smelly Gabe??? It was never said and never implied.

My friend : DO IT DO IT DO IT MAKE MONEY

Me: OK first of all that's not how it works... Also... No.

My friend : C'MON JUST DO IT

Me : Well find or talk to someone I know who's posted a fan fiction maybe I'll reconsider 🤣

My friend : Ok, I'll ask people via my insta story

Me *remembering they have over 1k followers*: WAIT WHAT?!

My friend: Well I did it now we just have to wait for my DMS

Adler:

"We have a job to do"

"First time Perseus pinged our radar"

"Tell your boss this is for Weaver"

"Heroes have to make sacrifices. That's why when I ask you for one more, I hope you understand..."

"It was never personal" (😭)

Mason:

"Why did you have to go AWOL" or "You really had to go AWOL"

Lazar (😯):

"Wish there was another way" (Note: Only time we hear him say this in the campaign was when Bell was on the Gurney. Could this mean Bell managed to save Lazar? Or I'm just looking too into it, and he must have said this before Cuba)

"Do you think he suspects a thing?" (Wondering who he's talking about)

You could also hear Park saying something similar to her quote, "Breaking a subject's will and mind is a difficult and painful process", and another quote that I didn't manage to hear properly.

And also Stitch's voice will sometimes say numbers from the Numbers Program.
