[quote] Nico also has a greater variety to his powers than either Percy (only hydrokinesis, along with  limited  aerokinesis,  limited  geokinesis, and  limited  cryokinesis) or Jason (only aerokinesis and electrokinesis)--Nico can manipulate earth and rocks (geokinesis)[/quote]

1) I wouldn't consider the hability of Percy as limited concerning the geokinesis. I remember well enough Chiron (or someone else, whatever) stating after that he had powers over earthquakes from his father... I think it's well explained. 2) Uh, where does the hability of Nico over earth and rocks come from ? I don't remember that AT ALL. Could you provide any quote or something to prove it ? And if he has such habilities, wouldn't you think he'd use them more often ? :P (Yes, I'm reusing your previous argument about Percy's power, mainly because I think it's a ridiculous one.) 3) Variety means nothing. Nothing at all. I can be able to create butterflies with my breath, to spit rainbows and to make flowers grow, and yet, I'm sure I would be crushed by someone able to use water as it pleases him. ;)

But I don't think this is a debate about this. 8th Heroe of Olympus has the right to have her own opinions (even if they're quite always against the majorité :P) and I believe we should get back to the main topic.

Concerning the giants : yes, they were an huge deception. I mean, during 4 books, we were told about how stronger they were compared to the Titans, how powerful, how great they were, and about how Gaea was the ultimate vilain, and yet, both her and her children seemed like a satire to me. They were stupid, senseless, clueless... And weak. The gods had difficulties fighting Typhon, who, even if he was the strongest, was ONE giant... I would have expected his siblings to be a little bit more like him, to be real bad characters, not caricatures... (I'm still not over the fact of how the plans of Gaea, apparently extremely complicated and with many layers, got destroyed and crushed in 2 damn chapters. Kronos was a way better antagonist.)
