Disney dropped the third episode of Percy Jackson today December 26th. The show is available on both Disney+ and Hulu as the apps plan their merge. Week 3 picks up right where we left off. Percy has been claimed as the son of Poseidon and as such is in a cabin by himself. His lonely living quarters are due to the main 3 making a pact to stop procreating with humans (a pact that was clearly broken) and now Percy has been sent on his first quest. I am loving the show so far, the first two episodes are extremely well paced and I am in love with the adorable bundle of sass that is Percy Jackson and I am excited to see how Percy’s first quest goes.
So far the show is paced extremely well. In just a half an hour we are getting a ton of story and character development. Now without book knowledge I can not tell if this is a chapter by chapter story or if the writing is just finding natural story beats to end on. The episodes could be longer especially if there is only going to be 8 of them but the storytelling is currently very effective. I absolutley love Annabeth, she is so badass and such a wonderful character. I am so glad that the next generation gets a badass woman to watch, it really is super important. Percy’s first quest is also obviously made up of subquests and I appreciate the mythological accuracy that we got to see this week.
