All book-to-film adaptations undergo changes to better fit the new medium, but the Percy Jackson movies take huge liberties with Rick Riordan's books.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While all book-to-movie adaptations are subject to plot and character alterations, the Percy Jackson movies take massive liberties when it comes to their source material. Based on Rick Riordan's young adult fantasy series Percy Jackson & the Olympians, 2010's The Lightning Thief and its 2013 sequel Sea of Monsters make significant changes to the author's beloved characters and their thrilling adventures.
10 Logan Lerman's Percy Jackson Is Older Than He Should Be It's no secret that Hollywood loves casting 20-somethings as teenagers. For some series, it works out just fine, but that's not quite the case with the Percy Jackson and the Olympians movies. A fundamental component of Rick Riordan's first book, The Lightning Thief, is Percy's age. The demi-god middle schooler is 12 years old when the series begins.
Moreover, the leaders of Camp Half-Blood are quick to inform Percy Jackson that he's the son of Poseidon — one of the "big three" Olympians — and the other campers immediately treat him like a prophetic hero. In Riordan's books, Percy doesn't know the truth about his parentage until the "claiming" — a process by which a deity confirms who their demi-god child is by sending a symbol of their power.
6 The God Of War Is Cut From The Movie In Riordan's book, Percy and his pals, Annabeth and Grover, make their way to Los Angeles to visit the realm of Hades. Given the God of the Underworld's long-standing feud with his brother Zeus, he's the prime suspect in the stolen lightning bolt caper. After weathering attacks from the Furies, Medusa, and other mythological beasts, the trio helps Ares out.
4 Percy's Quest To The Underworld Is Totally Different While both the book and movie versions of The Lightning Thief see Percy, Annabeth, and Grover squaring off with creatures like the Gorgon Medusa on their quest to Hades' Los Angeles-based realm, the film adds in some new complications. Luke provides the trio with a map that leads to the location of three pearls; the magical gems belong to Persephone and have the power to teleport them out of the realm.
