It actually bugs me how they kept trying to make greek mythology more modern. Especially in The Lightning Thief, when Percy pulled out a freaking iPod to look at Medusa's reflection? That was completely unnecessary in my opinion. I get that they're trying to get other audiences to relate and all that, but in my opinion, if the series is good enough that they're making movies out of the books, then just stick to the books! If they already have such a large fanbase, why even bother to try and change it up? I don't know, that's just me. I personally wish they would stick to the book 100% (except for things that they just absolutely could not pull off), because that would benefit everyone. It would obviously benefit the fans because they would be beyond content that the movie actually resembles the books that they fell in love with to begin with, and the people that are barely even hearing about Percy Jackson for the first time because if they decide to proceed to read the books afterwards, they won't be disappointed in the movie. Sorry about my ramble, this tends to happen when I get to talking about Percy Jackson. xD
