I’ve decided to challenge myself by listing things I actually liked in the Percy Jackson movies, so, off the top of my head, I enjoyed:
Logan Lerman’s stupid pretty face and his big gentle eyes
the way they showed the letters floating around and the greek translating was nice
Brandon T. Jackson really gave it his all to carry the movie and while he was nothing like book Grover and handled kinda problematic he was pretty funny
UMA THURMAN AS MEDUSA!!! Bitch!!!
the fact that when they were casting Chiron they didn’t know who to look for, and then some guy got bored and drew Pierce Brosnan as a centaur and the director saw and was like ‘he’s so majestic’, and then they essentially just mailed this doodle to Pierce Brosnan with a note saying ‘please’
Alexandra Daddario really made me feel how much Annabeth wanted her mother, tbh I didn’t get that from anyone else in the film
The Lotus Casino scene was iconic let’s be honest here
scaring the maid at that one hotel with Medusa’s head
Persephone shouldn’t have been in the Underworld at all, but, she was being played by Rosario Dawson, and I love her, so I can’t complain
‘you’re just gonna burn that? we’re in a RECESSION!’
Percy making the water form into a trident and then stabbing Luke thru the neck with it…..I do love drama
Stanley Tucci as Dionysus…literally no one will ever be better cast, in anything. honest to God if they try to re-do the series and he doesn’t come back what’s the point
opening the second film with ‘Light ‘Em Up’ blaring as Percy does some complicated demigod obstacle course….for that one moment in time, they really, truly knew what we Wanted
That fucking demigod starbucks scene….honestly that’s EVERYTHING I’ve ever wanted lmao @ rick get one in the books please
Nathan Fillion making a Firefly joke in the year 2013
the fact that they didn’t want to keep animating Tyson’s eye so they had ‘sprayable mist’ was so stupid it was hilarious
the three sister’s taxi scene was good
“What are you doing??? DON’T WALK ON MY ROOF!” why was that line so funny
Percy surfing without a surf board
that one scene on Polyphemus’s island where they’re all in a very slow moving roller coaster car and Percy, Annabeth and Tyson all start singing ‘It’s A Small World After All’ just to annoy Clarisse skshjdjkd
when Kronos just fucking…..ate Luke sjfkdjkdsfkj I’m sorry it was hilarious
anyway that’s all I got right now lmao
