Again, you're wrong. As much as l love him, TMOA proved Percy hadn't grown as a swordsman. So to say he's better than Luke is a flat out lie.

Luke isn't a idiot for joining Kronos. He just had a different outlook on life then Percy. And of course, a deeper hatred for the Olympians. I'm not going to admit I'm wrong, because I know I'm not. After making that comment, I asked my sister, a die hard Percy Jackson fan, to make sure I was right, and she agreed with me. She said that was how Luke survived the fall. So clearly, I'm not the only one who believes this.

And I don't think Percy is better than Luke -- I think they'd just be more evenly matched later on.

I never said Luke was an idiot. I just said he wasn't intelligent. As Annabeth said, in The Battle of the Labyrinth, there is a difference between cleverness and wisdom. If Luke hadn't unwisely let his emotions rule his decisions, he would have seen what Kronos's conquest would cause. Percy is wiser in that aspect.
