Am I the only one who feels like the Titans were way underpowered???

Like how in the world were Percy and Jason able to take on titans? Jason didn't even have the curse of Achilles like Percy so how was he able to beat Krios in HAND TO HAND combat?!

And I am sorry Percy may have the curse but he is still mortal. Percy beating gods never made sense from the start. But how is he able to come to a standstill with Hyperion? I know Grover and the other nature spirits were the ones to ultimately beat the titan but come on. Aren't the older divine generations supposed to be more powerful??? These are Kronos' brothers! Didn't the gods need the help of other Titans to beat these dudes?!

Speaking of Kronos...this has to be the lamest and weakest main boss villain ever. He is the titan of literal TIME! So many cool possibilities. Instead we see parlour tricks like freezing a giant while he is eating and Percy breaking his time spell before he gets the freaking curse. After being affected by his reaping blade. It's like Rick uses water boosts as Percy's get out of jail free card and it's so annoying at this point.

Why don't we see Luke with some extra cool time powers? With Kronos as his sugar daddy, Luke should be way more powerful than he was. I mean Grover was able to stop a literal battle with his blessing from Pan. Why is Luke always being short changed, Rick??? Why do the protags get everything?

Hyperion:....

Iapetus: ....

Krios:....

Kronos:....

Kronos: Okay so maybe I shouldn't have had children at all with the whole prophecy thing but consider—

Hyperion: *heavy breathing*

Iapetus: THISISALLYOURFAULT

Krios: ONE OF THEM BIT ME (Poseidon)

Kronos:

Gods the emotions they would have -

Hhhhhhhh

OO OO OO OO

Hyperion breathed slow, the battle still raging around them, as he slammed the demigod against a wall. Blood spilled down the boys face from a nasty gash in his forehead as he tried to stand up.

Hyperion was too fast, already reaching down and dragging his head up. It left the boy off balance, a hand raising to scrub the blood from his eyes as his other hand lashes out with his blade.

Hyperion's own blade caught the demigods, clashing with a twang of stars and ocean spray as Hyperion smirked.

The boy lifted his head as best he could in Hyperion's grasp and Hyperion's smile dropped.

His breath froze and his light sputtered as he stared at the demigod.

It was a demigod, he knew it was, the son of Poseidon... And yet-

Gold eyes, like ichor and time, like starlight and wheat, burning with pain and determination- the expression was so familiar. The nose shape, the mouth pressed grim and tight from pain and determination.

It was Kronos through and through.

His little brother, stepping between his father's wrath and Hyperion, shielding him and taking the blow.

The only thing stopping Hyperion from bundling the boy up and hiding him away was the blood.

Kronos bled gold, not red.

But he froze all the same. He didn't raise his blade to finish the battle. He didn't yank the boys head back.

Kronos' face looked up at him and Hyperion... Hyperion looked away.

Looked away from his brother's face... His brother's face that *he* injured.

Hyperion knew, in his heart, that he'd lost the battle now.

sooo, I made another thing

I have seen the posts about Annabeth taking credit for other people's accomplishments. Which I agree with. However Percy is guilty of the same thing!!!

The Last Olympian

I couldn't keep up a storm like this forever, though. I could feel my powers weakening. With one last effort, I propelled Hyperion across the field, straight to where Grover was waiting. "I will not be toyed with!" Hyperion bellowed. He managed to get to his feet again, but Grover put his reed pipes to his lips and began to play. Leneus joined him. Around the grove, every satyr took up the song—an eerie melody, like a creek flowing over stones. The ground erupted at Hyperion's feet. Gnarled roots wrapped around his legs. "What's this?" he protested. He tried to shake off the roots, but he was still weak. The roots thickened until he looked like he was wearing wooden boots. "Stop this!" he shouted. "Your woodland magic is no match for a Titan!" But the more he struggled, the faster the roots grew. They curled about his body, thickening and hardening into bark. His golden armor melted into the wood, becoming part of a large trunk. The music continued. Hyperion's forces backed up in astonishment as their leader was absorbed. He stretched out his arms and they became branches, from which smaller branches shot out and grew leaves. The tree grew taller and thicker, until only the Titan's face was visible in the middle of the trunk. "You cannot imprison me!" he bellowed. "I am Hyperion! I am—" The bark closed over his face. Grover took his pipes from his mouth. "You are a very nice maple tree."

House of Hades

Annabeth had decided to take the side Hyperion was guarding, on the theory that Hyperion was more likely to sense Percy. After all, Percy was the last one to have killed him in the mortal world. That was fine with Percy. After being in Tartarus for so long, he could barely look at Hyperion’s burning golden armour without getting spots in his eyes.

What makes it even worse is that, earlier in an Annabeth POV chapter, Percy gives Grover credit for defeating Hyperion. Ironically, Annabeth's POV is a fairer assessment of Percy's contribution to the fight than humble Percy himself.

‘Hyperion ,’ Percy said. ‘I hate that guy.’ Annabeth’s shoulder suddenly ached from an old wound. During the Battle of Manhattan, Percy had fought this Titan at the Reservoir – water against fire. It had been the first time Percy had summoned a hurricane – which wasn’t something Annabeth would ever forget. ‘I thought Grover turned this guy into a maple tree.’ ‘Yeah,’ Percy agreed. ‘Maybe the maple tree died, and he wound up back here?’ Annabeth remembered how Hyperion had summoned fiery explosions and how many satyrs and nymphs he’d destroyed before Percy and Grover stopped him.

This also applies to Kronos. Percy NEVER beat Kronos. It doesn't matter that Percy foiled Kronos' plans in the past! The fact is that Rick had to use his antagonist to make the sacrifice to beat Kronos so Percy would live. It wasn't even Percy's idea to give Luke the knife. This part of the pjo fandom is perpetuating the same crimes they accuse Annabeth of committing by saying Percy beat Kronos. Percy had no chance of beating Kronos. The demigods failed to secure Olympus. Luke is literally the only reason why Olympus was not destroyed.

The only titan you could say Percy beat was Iapetus and only because Percy erased his memories.

I am in this strange spot where I don't hate Percy, but I am so over his character and Rick's bad writing. And with the way his fans talk about him, he might as well be the Greek version of Jesus Christ. Hmm, if Rick decided to bring Christianity into his trash series, he would probably declare Percy as the greater son of god for giggles. I'm still hoping his tv series crashes and burns. Percy's character in HOO, especially in the Akylis scene, is so overpowered I can't stand it. And I had to stop reading after that scene with Nyx. As I said, it may be a kid's book but kids deserve better. Kids are not dumb.
