Percy Jackson and the Olympians followers, the wait is over. A worthy adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved novels is lastly hitting TV, and I, for one, couldn’t be giddier to relive my childhood.

As is the case with all book-to-screen variations, Percy Jackson and the Olympians deviates sometimes from the supply materials. Nevertheless, the principle arc of the sequence stays the identical: 12-year-old Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) learns that he is a demigod, the son of a human girl and a Greek god. Not lengthy after this discovery, he undertakes a cross-country quest to get better Zeus’s stolen Grasp Bolt and cease a struggle of mythic proportions. Accompanying him are Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries), a daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri), Percy’s satyr protector.

This story will sound acquainted to ebook followers, however the present does make just a few adjustments alongside the best way, including new story beats, omitting others, and specializing in different characters past Percy’s narrative viewpoint. So what are among the largest adjustments the present makes? Do they work? And if that’s the case, what do they add to the present? Let’s dive in. (However take heed: From right here on out, spoilers for the present and the novels are in full impact.)

Episode one: The Mrs. Dodds struggle (and aftermath) look slightly completely different.

Season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians tackles Riordan’s The Lightning Thief, which means it kicks off, just like the ebook, with Percy’s fateful area journey to the Met. Within the novel, math trainer Mrs. Dodds (Megan Mullally) lures Percy into the museum alone. She reveals herself to be a Fury and makes an attempt to kill him. Fortunately, Latin trainer Mr. Brunner (Glynn Turman) — later revealed to be the centaur Chiron — tosses Percy a ballpoint pen-turned-sword, and he is capable of slay Mrs. Dodds.

The present takes a distinct strategy, transferring the struggle to the entrance steps of the Met and eradicating Mr. Brunner’s involvement. As an alternative, Mrs. Dodds lands on prime of Percy and almost finishes him off. It is solely by a stroke of luck that Percy survives, as his pen (given to him earlier) turns into his sword Riptide and impales Mrs. Dodds with out Percy realizing it.

On the one hand, this alteration threw me for a loop, because the scene performs out extraordinarily shortly and robs Percy of his first large monster-slaying second. If something, Dodds’s loss of life right here reads extra like an accident! Nevertheless, the fast-paced, confused framing of the incident locations us deeper in Percy’s horrified mindset. His math trainer is attempting to kill him — after all he’d be freaking out and never be fully conscious of what is going on on. His much less coordinated assault right here additionally contrasts properly along with his slaying of the Minotaur on the finish of episode one. Armed with extra information about who he’s, Percy is ready to take down one other fierce beast with extra management this time. It is his first traditional hero second, one thing the present has constructed to from his preliminary flailing protection towards Mrs. Dodds.

The fallout from Mrs. Dodds’s assault performs out slightly otherwise within the present as properly. Percy is expelled from Yancy Academy as a result of he supposedly pushed bully Nancy Bobofit (Olivea Morton) into the Met fountain — a narrative Grover corroborates although he is supposedly Percy’s finest pal! Whereas this will likely look like a betrayal at first, it was truly Grover taking part in the a part of protector to a tee. Figuring out that monsters will discover Percy at Yancy, Grover realizes he has to get him away from the varsity as shortly as potential. We get hints of this motivation within the ebook, particularly when Percy eavesdrops on a cryptic dialog between Mr. Brunner and Grover. But Grover’s selection within the present is a concrete instance of him doing all the things he can to maintain Percy alive — even when it means he could lose his friendship. The seeming betrayal additionally isolates Percy additional, bringing him to a fair decrease emotional level by the point he learns the reality about who he’s.

Episode one: Sally Jackson has a much bigger half to play.

Talking of the reality about who Percy is, let’s get into how he finds out the reality within the present versus the books. The Lightning Thief sees Percy getting a crash course in very actual world of Greek delusion from his mom, Sally (Virginia Kull), and Grover on the experience to Camp Half-Blood. At camp, Chiron, Annabeth, and Luke (Charlie Bushnell) educate him much more, together with telling him outright that he is a half-blood.

Nevertheless, within the present, loads of these revelations fall to Sally. She’s the one who tells Percy he is a demigod, hoping to console him about why he is at all times felt completely different from everybody else. We additionally see how she’s been coaching Percy for his birthright his complete life. One candy flashback scene options her telling Percy why she named him after Perseus. It isn’t simply because Perseus was a hero, however due to the bond he and his mom shared whereas solid adrift at sea. Later, we additionally perceive simply how far Sally will go to get Percy to security. When the Minotaur assaults, Sally takes a extra energetic function in preserving it away from her son, together with distracting it with Percy’s crimson jacket, matador-style.

None of that is to say that Sally would not get quite a bit to do within the books: Proper from the beginning, we see that she’s a fiercely devoted, loving mom. She listens to Percy’s worries about being expelled from Yancy and even offers him recommendations on survive the Minotaur assault. We simply get much less time along with her is all. Within the present’s first episode (which was co-written by Riordan), that point is expanded upon considerably. By giving Sally extra of a say in telling Percy about who he’s, the present additionally helps construct their emotional connection, which in flip informs Percy’s determination to go on his quest within the first place.

Episode two: The hellhound goes lacking.

The primary set piece of the second episode is a camp-wide sport of Seize the Flag. The sport performs out the identical manner it does within the books, with Annabeth utilizing Percy as bait to distract the rival workforce captain — and daughter of Ares — Clarisse La Rue (Dior Goodjohn). Her plan leads to victory, and here is the place the present and the ebook diverge. Within the ebook, the win is shortly overshadowed by the looks of a bloodthirsty hellhound, whose try and kill Percy is fortunately unsuccessful.

The hellhound scene is all of a web page and a half lengthy, so maybe that is why it merely would not seem within the present. In any case, Percy Jackson and the Olympians requires the creation of a number of difficult on-screen beasts. If you are going to lower one to save lots of the brunt of visible results for different creatures, this could be the one to decide on. Nonetheless, the hellhound’s arrival marks an necessary change for the ambiance at Camp Half-Blood. A hellhound on camp grounds is a sign that one thing could be very incorrect. Solely a traitor within the campers’ midst might have summoned the beast, stoking an environment of paranoia that culminates in Percy accepting the hunt to get better Zeus’s Grasp Bolt. With out the hellhound, we sadly get much less of a way of that paranoia, or a lot of a touch at a sure traitor.

The absence of the hellhound additionally adjustments the sequence the place Poseidon claims Percy as his son. After struggling extreme wounds from the assault, Percy goes into a close-by creek on Annabeth’s orders. Identical to along with his accidents from Seize the Flag, his hellhound wounds heal magically because of the water. Poseidon chooses this second to disclose himself as Percy’s father.

With the hellhound lacking from the present, we solely see the water’s therapeutic properties working post-Seize the Flag. However between that occasion and Percy’s magical management over water in his rest room struggle with Clarisse, Annabeth has gathered sufficient proof to understand who Percy’s father is. Sensible woman, that one! To show her level, she shoves him again into the water, and we get the present’s rendition of the Poseidon-claiming scene. Truthfully, I like the shove — it is so deeply in step with the mildly contentious begin to Percy and Annabeth’s dynamic, in addition to a reminder of simply how younger these children are.

The one a part of this scene that disappoints me is the Poseidon reveal. After the triton seems over Percy’s head, we get a disembodied Chiron voiceover telling us what which means. Nevertheless, we do not get to see his or the campers’ reactions within the second. And on condition that Percy is a forbidden little one of one of many Huge Three gods — Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades — their reactions needs to be large! For instance, the ebook sees campers kneeling (some, like the kids of Ares, do it reluctantly). I want the present might have included one thing like that in an effort to allow us to sit on this second extra and perceive the momentous penalties of Percy’s parentage.

Episode two: Grover learns about Sally Jackson’s destiny from the Council of Cloven Elders.

A very new subplot in episode 2 entails Grover chatting with the Council of Cloven Elders, a bunch made up of satyrs. He learns from them that Sally is just not truly useless, a truth neither Chiron nor camp director Dionysus (Jason Mantzoukas) need Grover to inform Percy. Nevertheless, Grover does so anyway, as Percy is his pal and deserves to know the reality about his mom. Figuring out that Sally is alive and may very well be introduced again from the Underworld motivates Percy to take the hunt to get the Grasp Bolt again from Hades, lending an additional layer of drive to his epic journey.

Within the ebook, Percy would not know his mother is not totally useless. Nonetheless, when he realizes his quest will take him to the Underworld, he does take into consideration what that would imply for Sally. The present simply surfaces this thought much more. The addition of Grover’s involvement additionally helps him mend his considerably rocky relationship with Percy, who’s understandably upset about his finest pal preserving main secrets and techniques — god-tier secrets and techniques, in reality — from him.

Guide-wise, we do not be taught Sally’s destiny ourselves till (spoiler alert!) our valiant crew reaches the Underworld. There, Hades reveals he took Sally hostage proper earlier than she died in an effort to achieve some leverage over Percy. You may guess we’ll get that confrontation within the present farther down the road, however for now, we all know that Percy did not simply settle for his quest in an effort to achieve glory or save the world. He accepted it to save lots of Sally, whose relationship with Percy is the emotional core of the present’s two-episode premiere, even when she’s not on-screen.

Episode three: The choice ceremony

As Percy prepares to undertake his quest to retrieve Zeus’s Grasp Bolt, Chiron presents him with a variety ceremony. Right here, he should select two companions from the camps’ finest and brightest. Choices embody Clarisse and Luke, however Percy has eyes for just one member of this formidable lineup: Annabeth. He picks her with out hesitation, lastly giving her the possibility on the quest she so desperately craves. When telling Chiron his reasoning, he additionally acknowledges that she’s going to do something to succeed — even push him down the steps with out hesitation.

Percy’s second selection is Grover, who wasn’t even an possibility on the choice ceremony within the first place. But Percy is aware of he wants somebody on his workforce he can belief fully, particularly after the Oracle prophesied that Percy could be betrayed by somebody who calls him a pal.

The choice ceremony is a show-only invention, nevertheless it definitely works as each a character- and world-building system. On the one hand, it offers Camp Half-Blood a fair deeper sense of formality. On the opposite, it additionally strengthens the bond between our most important trio. Percy selecting Annabeth is a deep demonstration of respect, notably after Luke instructed Percy about Annabeth’s need to go on a quest. (Additionally a terrific second for Percabeth shippers!) Elsewhere, Grover and Percy have gone by quite a bit up to now two episodes, with Grover getting Percy kicked out of Yancy (granted, for his personal security) and revealing that he was Percy’s satyr protector this complete time (once more, for security causes). Any rigidity from these secrets and techniques is lengthy gone, and these two finest buddies are able to tackle the unimaginable.

Episode three: Alecto presents Annabeth a deal.

Thought evil math trainer Mrs. Dodds died in episode 1? Suppose once more! She’s a monster — a Fury, to be extra actual — and monsters cannot really ever die. Her actual identify is Alecto, and she or he and her Fury sisters are again on the hunt for Percy. They discover him and his buddies at a bus cease in New Jersey. Right here, Alecto presents Annabeth a deal: If she lures Percy to the Furies, they’re going to make certain her quest continues unimpeded. However Annabeth is having none of this. Certain, she could disagree with Percy typically, however she’s not going to promote him out to the Furies who killed her pal (and daughter of Zeus) Thalia! She warns Percy and Grover, and so they handle to flee.

Alecto’s proposed deal is totally new to the present. Additionally it is a scene with out Percy’s perspective, marking a departure from the books, that are instructed strictly from his viewpoint. We see this broadening of perspective usually with TV variations, as they take the chance of a brand new medium to discover different characters whose interiority we do not at all times get to see within the supply materials. On this scene’s case, that character is Annabeth.

Annabeth’s dialog with Alecto hints at an attention-grabbing factor from the books: deadly flaws. These are weaknesses demigods should reckon with, as they might result in their tragic undoing. In Riordan’s work, Annabeth’s deadly flaw is hubris, or satisfaction. Alecto’s cut price works to use that flaw, balancing Annabeth’s friendships and sense of obligation towards her want for glory and acknowledgment from Athena. Nevertheless it appears to be like like Annabeth is not able to let her satisfaction be her downfall simply but.

Episode three: A really completely different Medusa

The primary set piece of the third episode is an encounter with Medusa (Jessica Parker Kennedy), she of the snake hair and stony gaze. The Lightning Thief sees our most important trio come upon Aunty Em’s Backyard Gnome Emporium, the place Aunty Em, concealing her actual id as Medusa, plies them with meals earlier than attempting to show them into statues. The present adjustments that solely, and in doing so, opens up some fascinating thematic questions.

In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Annabeth realizes immediately they’re in Medusa’s realm — and why would not she? She’s well-versed in Greek delusion, and since her mom cursed Medusa within the first place, it is sensible she’d be acquainted sufficient along with her legend to the purpose of recognizing her within the wild. Medusa would not sustain any Aunty Em pretenses both. She introduces herself immediately and presents Percy, Annabeth, and Grover shelter from a pursuing Alecto.

As soon as inside, Medusa offers our heroes her facet of her delusion, exhibiting us a very completely different facet of the character we acquired within the ebook. She likens herself to Annabeth: The 2 are devoted worshippers of Athena, even when they hear nothing again from the goddess. So when Poseidon instructed Medusa he beloved her, she felt seen by a god in a manner she by no means had with Athena. Sadly, Athena did see Medusa’s interplay with Poseidon. She blamed her for desecrating her temple and cursed her, although it was all Poseidon’s doing. (Provided that Percy Jackson and the Olympians is supposed for a younger grownup viewers, the present skirts across the sexual violence of the unique delusion. Nevertheless, if you’re conscious of mentioned violence, Medusa’s dialogue with the kids takes on an much more somber high quality.)

Due to her previous relationship with Poseidon, Medusa additionally feels a kinship with Sally Jackson. She tells Percy, “Your mom and I are like sisters, in a manner. Focused by the identical monster.” Her phrases trigger a reckoning, in additional methods than one: Did Poseidon reap the benefits of Sally in the identical manner as he did with Medusa? Ought to Percy proceed on this quest to assist his father clear up his quarrel with Zeus, even after all of the ache he is triggered?

That is the check Medusa poses Percy: Let her eliminate his companions so he can save Sally with out worrying in regards to the quest, or proceed to serve the wrathful, unjust gods. Like Annabeth with Alecto, Percy chooses his buddies and the Medusa struggle ensues, ending — prefer it does within the books — with Medusa’s severed head shipped to Mount Olympus. Nonetheless, the concepts Medusa raises on this iteration of Riordan’s story will reverberate all through the remainder of the sequence. Ought to the demigods actually be serving their dad and mom if all they do is ignore them and mistreat others? And in changing into monster-slaying heroes, are they doomed to repeat their moms’ and fathers’ errors?

Episode 4: Extra time with Echidna

The fourth episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians introduces us to yet one more necessary adversary from Riordan’s books (and Greek mythology, clearly): Echidna (Suzanne Cryer), in any other case often called the Mom of Monsters. Naturally, like each different monster from Hades to Olympus, she’s after Percy Jackson.

Each the ebook and the present variations of Echidna’s pursuit of Percy finish with a confrontation on the prime of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Nevertheless, the buildup to that time varies from web page to display screen. In The Lightning Thief, Echidna takes the type of a vacationer on the Arch, along with her beloved Chimera disguised as a chihuahua.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians introduces Echidna far earlier. She meets Percy, Annabeth, and Grover on a practice, then chases all of them the best way to the Arch. As with Medusa in episode three, this shift from the books permits for an enlargement of Echidna’s character. She spends fairly a little bit of time speaking to Percy, Annabeth, and Grover on the practice. And as sinister as she is, this dialogue clues us into her relationship to her darling kids (aka her brood of terrifying monsters) and the way she trains them to hunt. In any case, she solely lets Percy escape her preliminary clutches so the Chimera can get some follow. These adjustments — like most of Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ shifts from the books up to now — complement our understanding of Echidna as she seems in The Lightning Thief, whereas additionally permitting for enjoyable twists that can shock new and outdated followers alike.

Episode 4: Percy Jackson and the self-sacrificing streak

This is a a lot smaller change between Riordan’s books and the present, however an necessary one nonetheless. In The Lightning Thief, Echidna solely reveals herself to Percy after he will get separated from Grover and Annabeth on the Arch. The separation is not something dramatic, simply that the 2 of them get on a distinct elevator down. Notably, the 2 do not know in regards to the Echidna assault till after the actual fact.

With Echidna and the Chimera searching our most important trio for for much longer in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the explanation for that separation will get tweaked a bit within the present. Annabeth tells Grover and Percy to save lots of themselves whereas she takes on the Chimera within the Arch. However on the final second, Percy shoves her to security and locks her and Grover out of the Arch’s remark deck, all so he can face the Chimera alone.

Keep in mind how Alecto’s provide to Annabeth in episode three hinted at satisfaction being her deadly flaw? Right here, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is hinting at Percy’s personal flaw: He is loyal to a fault. In truth, he is so loyal he’ll danger preventing a monster — whereas poisoned! — in an effort to save his finest buddies. Since we do not formally find out about deadly flaws till The Sea of Monsters, ebook two in Riordan’s ebook sequence, situations like this are a pleasant approach to seed them for future seasons of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Plus, Percabeth followers get one other superior new second to freak out about, with Percy getting Annabeth out of hurt’s manner. It could be a seaweed-brained transfer, nevertheless it’s solely making this ship stronger.

Episode 5: Say hello to the Fates!

Within the fifth episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, our characters have a brush with destiny — sorry, I meant a brush with the Fates. Annabeth spies three outdated girls knitting by the Gateway Arch. One in all them snips a chunk of yarn with foreboding aptitude, which means {that a} member of our most important trio will die quickly. The Lightning Thief incorporates a related scene a lot earlier on, the place Percy sees the Fates on his manner residence from Yancy Academy. In that scene, the yarn snip foreshadows the lack of Sally. Right here, it is hinting at Percy and Annabeth’s disastrous journey to Waterworld, elevating the stakes for the episode.

Episode 5: Percy and Annabeth go to Waterworld.

Talking of Waterworld, let’s get into all of the methods Percy and Annabeth’s facet quest to retrieve Ares’ (Adam Copeland) protect differs from the ebook. The primary conceit is identical: Hephaestus (Timothy Omundson) used the park as a entice to catch his spouse Aphrodite in an affair with Ares. Within the ebook, mentioned entice entails a Tunnel of Love experience, booby-trapped Cupid’s arrows, and a livestream to Mount Olympus. Within the present, solely the Tunnel of Love experience stays, and it poses Percy and Annabeth with a heartbreaking selection: As a way to get the protect, one among them should sit in an inescapable chair designed by Hephaestus. It is nearly as good as a loss of life sentence, and each Percy and Annabeth realize it.

Identical to in St. Louis, Percy is able to sacrifice himself in an effort to save Annabeth so she will be able to proceed with the hunt. However even as soon as she will get the protect, Annabeth is not keen to go away Percy behind, proving simply how deep their friendship has turn into. Her makes an attempt to tinker with the chair’s mechanism summon Hephaestus, who’s so moved by Annabeth’s insistence that Percy is not like the opposite backstabbing Olympians that he releases him. Hephaestus’s look and the dilemma with the chair are all solely new to the sequence, although they’re based mostly in Greek mythology. Nevertheless, all of them serve the episode’s bigger theme of how horrible the familial relationships between the Olympians are — and the way folks like Percy might break free from the gods’ violent, self-destructive patterns.

Episode 5: Bonding time with Grover and Ares

The place was Grover throughout all this drama? Buddying up with the Greek god of struggle, that is what. In a twist from the books, Grover would not truly go to Waterworld. As an alternative, Ares retains him as collateral. A nature-loving satyr would possibly look like the antithesis of all that Ares stands for, however Grover wins him over by citing a few of his “deep cuts,” just like the Turbot Battle and the Lobster Battle. (In traditional satyr style, each are cold conflicts over numerous fishing disputes.)

Grover makes use of Ares’s goodwill to pry for details about Camp Half-Blood’s go to to Mount Olympus on the winter solstice, the day the Grasp Bolt was stolen. As he does, he uncovers some details about Ares’s annoyance with Athena. Based mostly on what he tells Percy and Annabeth on the finish of the episode, it looks as if this dialog clued him into who actually took the Grasp Bolt. However did he actually resolve the thriller? Or is that this one other crimson herring?

Episode six: Is Clarisse the lightning thief?

Grover’s intelligent manipulation of Ares in episode six led him to consider he’d cracked the case of who stole the Grasp Bolt. His guess? None aside from Ares’ daughter (and main Percy hater) Clarisse.

For ebook followers, this twist will come as a shock to the system. Clarisse is barely very briefly a suspect in The Lightning Thief. (Like, one line in a dialog with Ares ranges of transient.) In truth, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover do not discover out about Ares’ connection to the Grasp Bolt till a lot, a lot later of their quest. So apart from being a brand new wrinkle in Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ most important thriller, what different objective does the Clarisse misdirect serve? Now that Annabeth and Percy have instructed their suspicions to Luke, will there be better battle with the Ares children at Camp Half-Blood?

Episode six: Hermes crashes the Lotus Resort and On line casino.

The sixth episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians facilities on one of the vital iconic set items from The Lightning Thief: our heroes’ keep on the Lotus Resort and On line casino. (Let’s be actual, it is also one of the best a part of the beautiful middling Percy Jackson film, thanks largely to using Woman Gaga’s “Poker Face.”) However simply as with each stage of Percy’s quest up to now, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has just a few tweaks to make from the books. For this sequence, that features throwing Hermes (Lin-Manuel Miranda) into the combination.

Percy, Annabeth, and Grover do not simply stumble into the Lotus On line casino within the present the best way they do within the ebook. As an alternative, they’re on a transparent mission to get there and get a experience from Hermes. Not like in The Lightning Thief, they’re already conscious of the on line casino’s connection to the parable of the Lotus Eaters, whose consumption of lotus flowers led them to neglect their lives and dwell in ignorant bliss. The youngsters’ instant comprehension of the brand new threats they’re dealing with — like recognizing Medusa proper off the bat in episode three — creates a sample of constant deviation from the books. These adjustments emphasize simply how a lot these characters perceive the tales that make up their world, but they do not sacrifice an oz of battle. With the Lotus On line casino, for instance, our most important trio decides to not eat any lotus flowers. Little do they know the scent of the flowers is definitely pumped by the vents, which means they nonetheless expertise its results.

Past the creeping dread that Percy, Annabeth, and Grover will neglect their quest, the meat of this episode facilities on Hermes as a father. We be taught extra about his relationship with Luke’s mom, Could, whose potential to see by the Mist that separates the mythic world from the human world led to some painful visions. Luke blames Hermes for it, and though it looks as if Hermes needs to reconnect along with his son, it is clear one thing painful is stopping him.

Right here, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is taking part in the lengthy sport. We could solely be in Season 1, however this complete give attention to Hermes, Could, and Luke is already teasing parts of The Final Olympian, the ultimate ebook within the sequence. Extra instantly, although, it additionally offers us a greater understanding of Luke’s notion of the gods — an understanding that can be essential as we transfer into the later weeks, and be taught that Luke is probably not all he appears. Certain, we could have missed out on among the time-traveling horror of the Lotus On line casino, however we additionally gained worthwhile character growth that lays the groundwork for episodes (and seasons) to come back.

Episode six: Wait, the hunt deadline has handed?

The excellent news: Percy, Annabeth, and Grover escape from the Lotus On line casino and make it to Santa Monica with the assistance of Hermes’ magic cab. The dangerous information: They’re too late. In an enormous shift from The Lightning Thief, the Summer time Solstice deadline for locating the Grasp Bolt has handed. Zeus and Poseidon are formally at struggle.

However is Percy going to surrender? Completely not. He can sense that there is a better menace behind all this Grasp Bolt drama, and he is decided to alert the gods and save his mom. Each targets require him persevering with on to the Underworld. There isn’t any doubt about it: This child is a hero.
