Annabeth and Percy wrote: About Annabeth a little bit, yes. But what's with the manipulating part? When has she been that way to anybody other than her enemies? She does that to Percy all the time. She's interested in his power only, why else she'd be with him in the first place? And Annabeth gets scared when Percy becomes more powerful because she's afraid to lose control over him and tries to discourage him.

Back to the debate, the Titans are way better villains than the Giants. Gaia sucks. All she did was send monsters to stop the demigods, and to bore them, sorry, discourage them, she sleep talks to them. Same standard threats like:

"Oh, (insert your name). The gods are jerks. This and that happened to you and you are supposed to be sad. Either join me or run away 'cause I'm insanely powerful and hot and I could destroy you and wake up."

Kronos didn't need to do well in the threats department. He had Luke to do it for him. Kronos had plans within plans and he practically controlled PJO series, including the gods. And he waged the war on a more psychological level, like turning the minor gods and demigods to his side. That is evil.

The Giants on the other hand were more dumb than the Aphrodite kids. They knew that they should destroy Olympus without wasting time, when the gods were looking somewhere, but for what joy were they camping in Athens for 6 MONTHS???!!! They made Zeus look like a genius. There was no need for them to wake their mother when they could destroy Olympus by themselves. Such an easy task.

Stronger than the Titans? Please. The Giants got their butts handed by the Minor Gods and a statue (Terminus). Why the heck were the demigods taking so much trouble to awaken the Olympians when all they could've done was load their arsenal with Terminus heads, load the ballistae and blast the Giants with those. Or merely enlist the help of the minor gods unaffected by the schism. There problem solved.
