For me reviving Jason, my thoughts are a couple things. Only 2 demigods were turned into god through merit alone ( Hercules and Dionysus) and the rest where just consolation prize from having a tragic death between two gods. Zeus doesn’t give favor to any of his kids so consolidation prize is out, so the only way he could be ascended is through his merits. It’s pretty much established that you have to do some pretty nutty stuff in order to be a god and the only person offered it was Percy for his feats in the battle of Manhattan. Since we know little to nothing concrete about Jason’s backstory really standout, we would have point towards his feats during HOO and how the gods literally brushed off the aftermath of the Giant war makes me think that that would be reason enough. Also I really don’t like hades bringing him back. If it was just so easy to trade an eye for an eye why would hades do it himself (or his son or another hero if you want to argue the god neutrality) when hazel or Nico’s mother died?

The Reyna thing is probably more of a personally thing to me tho. It was really weird when they introduced Venus into it. This character literally actively worked against a prophecy she was supporting, and knew she was getting tricked, just to get her son Aeneas matchmade. And she hates the Hunters. So throwing her into the fold just kinda feels like a plot point missing ( cuz I can assure you 100% it was not her endgame to have Reyna to join the Hunters) and overall makes me curious where this story might go next
