I'm kind off suprised actually. I was thought this discussion was ended by now. But it wasn't end, and here goes the pain,

First, Percy wasn't defeat Ares. I mean, how many times this has been said? Ares was just playing with him. If he were acting seriously, Percy could've been destroyed. Percy stabbed Ares in the heel; yes. But Poseidon helped him secretly too, (this fight happened near the sea, so come and tell me Poseidon didn't ever help Percy there, if you believe that really. Even Percy somehow felt that he was not alone when he was fighting with Ares.) After Percy stabbed Ares, Ares tried to attack Percy again in a fit of rage, but Kronos prevented him. If Kronos wasn't prevented, he would've destroy Percy out of rage. In the series, Ares portrayed as stupid, yes. But he was not that stupid to beating by a twelve years old kid. If he didn't take this fight as a joke, Percy would've die.

Defeating and injuring Polyphemus...do you know that he was not alone in there, right? Mostly, Annabeth and Tyson were distracting Poly, this is the reason Percy got the chance to defeat him. I'm not saying his sword skills not that good or something like that, I'm saying he was not alone there. By the way, did you guys ever thought this is so weird? I mean, Poseidon made Odysseus’s  life misareble because of he stabbed Poly’s on of the eyes, but in this series, Poseidon didn’t do anything about this at all. So Poseidon... Percy, your another son and his pretty friend Annabeth did the same thing to your son Poly like what Odysseus did, but it was fine when they did it, cause Percy is your another son and he was not a cyclop, monster or something like that so you didn’t care about that, this time? You didn’t even bother to stop your sons to fighting with each other? Well…

I don't remember about Anateus scene with details, so I can't talk about that. But about Phobos, I thought, when Percy defeated Akhyls a.k.a Goddess and Personification of Poison and Pain itself with controlling poison and choke her with posion (her own eleement), it was huge joke. But I gotta admit that Phobos thing is almost funny as that sh*t. God of Fear, afraid of Percy...Yeah. Sure why not? I mean Percy is a huge Stu after all, as much as I hate to use this term, it is kind off necessary in this situation. ''*And remember, both Kronos and Percy had The Curse of Achilles, so this was a very fair fight. I realize that Kronos was not at his strongest, and Percy was, but compared to the others, including Krios, the Titans looked like babies compared to Kronos).''  Actually, i never thought Kronos was that a good and scary villain. Comperad to others, maybe, yes. But actually he was a huge joke too. And do you realize this thing, too; Kronos never was in his full strength and power, because he was inside of Luke's body. Kronos even usually saying that when he was inside of the Luke's body, in a human body, he can't use his powers always because this is exhaust him, he can not fighting that much with his true and actual power, not because he was not that powerfull to beating Percy, but because he was in Luke's, a mortal's body. And Curse of Achilles or not, that didn't change this. Kronos couldn't control his true powers when he was inside of the Luke's body.

And about,  Otis and Ephialtes, the twin ballet giants, seriosly? They were most stupid, jokable villains in the series. These giants are just there, dancing around. They can grace your dreams with their absurd dances so when you wake up, you can dream about it all day. So ridiculous, seriously. Percy did defeat Thoon? I don't really remember, fresh my memories, please. And Hades, seriously? Again? That was after Curse of Achilles. And don't get me start on Hercules... What was that maybe demigods can't control gods but they can control themselves thing? I wonder really, did Riordan try so hard to portay Hercules as a real jerk in MoA? Yes, maybe he is not a saint, but at least he is someting. And, these villains, giants and others, are all portrayed as weak, dim-witted, stupid characters. So why bother? I really hate all villains in the HoO series, including supposedly evil, scary Gaea and her giants. Gaea graced my dreams with her ponies and her soft singing lullaby song. Like, what did she do, actually and considaribly any evil thing to the Seven? Here is the answer; Nothing. About Tartarus, I did say about Percy's controlling poison thing was a Mary-Stuish (Yes, again this term). And somebody said to me that; since Tartarus was not a logical place, Percy somehow could control it. I wish it is true, but Achlys were not just a goddess, she was also a personification, How, Percy choking a personification of poison, is make sense still really? And you need to remember something about Nico. Nico was always alone, he has no friends with him mostly and he was alone under Tartarus, he was captured maybe but at least He managed to survivedon his own in there. (There are much more things he has overcome but this writing becomes too long.) Nico's mental and self strenght, his sword-fighting skills, resilience, durabilty and resistince more better than Percy's
