@annao1307 4 жыл бұрын
Jaysen Rouse I think the opposite. They decided to crank up the characters age and establish Percy and annabeths romance.. they’re freakin twelve year olds! Percy wasn’t claimed right when he came, he was in the Hermes cabin for some time. Oh, and don’t even get me started on how they portrayed annabeth, she’s supposed to be friggin blonde! Not only that, she was playing the “dumbed down” girl character, she didn’t even have her Yankees cap! They didn’t even do the encounter with ares and Persephone was in the underworld.. during summer? The movies are a total bust in my opinion. The new series oughta be good.
