History Film / PercyJacksonandTheOlympians

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Athena appears to get this treatment. In the book, she was mentioned as being the only one of the Olympians who had taken Zeus's side in the conflict instead of Poseidon's, presumably due to the mutual grudge between them affecting her common sense. Whereas in the film, she is seen urging Zeus to think rationally so that they can settle things without starting an unnecessary war.

While both films were financially successful, they recieved widespread criticism from fans and professional critics, and Creator/RickRiordan himself publicly disowned them. A third film was planned but never made before [[Series/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians2023 the series would be rebooted for streaming television in 2023]].

** Hermes (Creator/NathanFillion) gives Percy powerful winds in a thermos from a Hercules-themed TV show that he describes as being "the best show ever...which means it's canceled". A good number of people may say the same regarding a [[{{Series/Firefly}} show]] that Fillion became well known for. He also tells Percy and Annabeth, [[{{Series/Castle}} "It's cute how you finish each other's sentences."]]

A sequel, titled ''Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters'', which was based on the second book in the ''Percy Jackson'' series, was released in 2013, with most of the cast returning to their roles. Thor Freudenthal directed the film, replacing Chris Columbus.
