You know the one scene from the movies that was added which the whole Fandom agreed was top tier? I feel like Percy driving is the same. People might hate everything about the movie/show but they can't deny how amazing the "Don't walk on my roof"/Percy honking at the speeding car scene is
UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don't care ab what yall say the movies were good. They’re way more beginners friendly (even thought most people who would watch probaly already knew a bit about greek mythology they explained to the ones who wouldn’t know), they had one of the Goddess speak Greek, they had a Greek Actress to play a Goddes and they actually used the Greek letters rigth ( they didn't use D's as A's or S's as E's >wich is one of the things that walways annoys me in American TV who decides to use Greece/Greek as purely a Aesthetic)
They had things different than the books? Yes but a lot of adaptations suffer from it, when we read a book we get an inside of the Characters mind and the only way of achiving in movies and tv series would be by using V.O narration that gets boring really fast and becomes a gateway to tell instead of showing (First Rule: Show don't Tell)
In the movie they show the gods not being good parents but they still had scenes when we could see they cared for their children so we could see way Luke would want war but we also see that is way more extreme solution than the problem. In the Series (SPOILER FOR THE NEWEST EPISODE) we see Athena letting Echidna and the chimera inside her Temple, a place that should've been a safe heaven for these 3 (2 and a half) kids just bc she didn't liked Percy sending the Medusa's head to them ( Yes is a great comeback to Medusa's "i wasn't like you i was you" line wich is great in a story telling but i'm still icked that they used a Roman version on a "Greek" show) what makes Luke wanting war and dethroning the gods a way more accurate response to their neclect.
Over all i just feel like the movies had a bigger care to make they look and feel like Greeks and the show is only using it for aesthetics (what was probably also the reason on the books)
Is it petty? Yes it is but a really hate that a series about "Greek Gods and mythology" would choose to use a story written by a Roman who wrote so he could defame the two greek gods.
In the actual greek myth Medusa and her sisters were born that way and i really don't see why changed from the original (or why from all of the tales to use choose the roman one)
Medusa was always a symbol of protection already and i really don't see a need to try to paint her as a survivor of abuse bc now you have a bunch of people misinterpreting what her myth was actually supposed to be and now they will have to change or at least expand more on Sally's relantionship with Poseidon and they will have to choose between putting her in two abusive situations or just ignore "Medua's story" (what will make it worse in my opinion)
