i gotta know where grover learned the consensus song. like, day 1 of satyr protector training did the counsel of cloven elders teach them that? or is this something he conjured up when he realized annabeth and percy were gonna be at each other’s throats. i gotta know.
something about the way that medusa is portrayed in this episode is so special to me. not just the portrayal of misogyny in the real world (and thus, the mythic world) and how the victims in the stories, even when the men were at fault, are always the women. but the parallels between annabeth and medusa. two innocents who prayed to athena and worshipped her, for absolutely nothing in return. they’re just two women!!! who were victims!!!! by the same monster!!!!!! my god!!!!!!!!!
and annabeth’s steadfast trust and support and reverence towards her mom, parallel by medusa’s disdain. it’s kinda like looking at tlt annabeth and hoo annabeth. we get to see how she started, someone who worships her mother, vs how she ends up, someone who resents her mother. as annabeth goes on in her life as a demigod and continues to go on quests, seeing what the gods put everyone else (her and her loved ones included) through, her reverence lessens. and she really becomes more similar to medusa than she is to tlt annabeth/athena.
(also the parallel is not lost on me that medusa fell in love w poseidon and annabeth fell in love with a son of poseidon!!!! but i digress. sorry. just had to add a sprinkle of percabeth in this analysis.)
percy just randomly trusting a MONSTER cause he was hungry. that’s white boy confidence right there
this episode was soooo tlt musical coded. literally lost, killer quest, tree on the hill, in the same boat. grover’s consensus song was literally in the same boat. i want to believe joe tracz (who has 0 say in the script) used his power to add that little nod there
why medusa kinda…
the jumpscare that is lin manuel miranda…
