How The Quest’s Missed Deadline Changes Percy Jackson’s Story

Percy and his friends miss the deadline to return the Bolt in episode 6 , when too much time pass at the Lotus Hotel and Casino . Even so , they tug on to the Underworld , pick up that Hades had nothing to do with the object being steal , and that a big terror in Kronos is underway . Despite the risk to his life , Percy decide to go to Mount Olympus to return the point to Zeus , even though he has the selection not to .

By havingPercy Jacksonseason 1 endwith this choice made , it let out the responsibility Percy feels toward keeping peace between the Gods . The series illustrates how the Greek deities often do n’t take accountability for their actions , something Percy does the opposite of by deliver the Bolt beyond the deadline . This emphasize the virtue he has as a hero , something even some of the Gods do not own .

It ’s possible similar change will occur inPercy Jackson and the Olympiansseason 2 , using small change to further character development . However , much like the change to the deadline , it ’s unlikely to impact the overall story beats the show make . Even though this part of the source material was castrate , the reasoning behind it still provide for deeper exploration of Percy in a TV format .
