I see so many people complaining about how different Percy Jackson s2 is from the books, but I don't understand why. Most of the fans who have been here for some time don't remeber the entire story of SoM. Honestly, SoM was one of the books that I completly forgot everything about XD I remembered the chariot races, the hunt for the fleece, circe, the sirens and the nobody part, but not much more than that.
And I think that's what uncle Rick wanted - to change some parts of the story, wheter it is in ading characters or removing some scenes entirely, but still keeping the main plot. Because, lets be real, he wrote those books more than 10 years ago! It's only natural for him to want to change things! And let's not forget that the show is not in Percy's POV, the slow burn will not be so slow because PERCY IS AN IDIOT WHEN COMING TO HIS FEELINGS FOR ANNIE!
And I absolutely love the enfisis they're making on each character's fatal flaw! When reading the books, I never truly understood why loyalty was a fatal flaw and its repercations, BUT THE SHOW SHOWS US THAT SO PERFECTLY WELL!!! (Percy is so Anakin coded. THE CHOSEN ONE SYNDROME)
So, to those who are complaining that the hipocampy only had 2 seconds of fame or that Percy didn't fight the Hydra, or the dodgebolt scene, guys, me and my sister were constantly thinking that Rainbow was Bessie, when she's a sea-cow and only comes up in the third book (the daaaaamm cow XD) and I thought that Percy had fought the Hydra in season 1 (I guess it's the movies that are messing up with my brain FU-). Let there be change, change is good! Season 2 is flowing naturaly, I barely feel like there's something amiss.
