Harry Potter carved out a market for popular young adult books being adapted into movies, and studios started scrambling for their piece of that pie. For Fox, that came in the form of Percy Jackson-- a book series following the demi-god son of Poseidon dealing with Ancient Greek stuff all over the place.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief raises lots of questions. Like why do Greek Gods hang out in the United States? Why does everyone think that Percy stole the lightning bolt? Why does Zeus pick such a specific time for war? Why keep Percy in Camp Half-Blood if Hades can just pop up in the campfire at any time? Why doesn’t Percy show any emotion when seeing his mom die or when chopping off Medusa’s head? What was Luke’s plan exactly? Why did he send them on a quest to collect things that would make his own plan fail?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

The script as a whole is terrible,” Riordan wrote after naming some of the things he did like about the film. “I don’t simply mean that it deviates from the book, though certainly it does that to point of being almost unrecognizable as the same story. Fans of the books will be angry and disappointed. They will leave the theater in droves and generate horrible word of mouth. That is an absolute given if the script goes forward as it stands now. But the bigger problem is that even if you pretend the book doesn’t exist, this script doesn’t work as a story in its own right.”

@@robynguzman3276 As a fan of both, I'd say that while Harry Potter is often over-rated comparatively, they are about equal to me, especially compared to the first four books of Harry Potter, since the last ones were rushed. But I also have to say that they have an equal amount of plot holes, as much as I adore them both. Just to give a few examples, the "demigods have to attack first" rule is ignored later on, and it is never really explained why the super-evil Titans just don't assume their divine form and instantly kill everyone but the gods they are fighting. After all, they don't care for mortals, and never have.

I personally wouldn't have cared that much if the ages of the characters was the biggest change. Sure, it would still lead to some issues later on in the series, but that could be easily fixed just by changing the prophecy a tiny bit. And maybe 12 to 17 was a bit of a huge jump, I think 15 would be better as there are a lot more good 15-year old actors than 12-year old ones.
@molcatz9634 3 жыл бұрын
While I still don't know why they did this(I mean Harry Potter starts when he's 11), I was more upset with the total annihilation of percy's character. He was witty, impulsive, loyal, brave, and kind of a lovable moron in the books. Honestly one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, even more so than Harry Potter. And then they made him into an angsty, boring, emotionless shell of a person. Hell Grover is more like book Percy's character in the movie! And it wasn't just percy, it was literally every single character. The only semi close correct casting was annabeth, but even then they turned her "slightly a know it all" attitude into straight up bitchiness. I really, really hope they get the show right. Percy jackson deserves an excellent adaption.
