* MagnificentBastard: [[BigBad Luke Castellan]], son of Hermes, became disillusioned with the gods following the death of his friend, Thalia, and them abandoning their children. Luke steals Zeus' lighting bolt and frames the son of Poseidon, [[Characters/TheCampHalfBloodSeriesPercyJackson Percy Jackson]], to start a war between the gods. Befriending Percy when he arrives at Camp Half-blood, Luke tricks him into delivering the bolt to Hades by hiding it in the shield that he gives him. Though seemingly defeated, Luke returns and plans to use the Golden Fleece to raise Kronos from the dead. Using a spy to poison Thalia's tree, and putting the camp in danger, Luke kidnaps Grover and chases the heroes through the Sea of Monsters, at one point seemingly killing Percy's half brother Tyson, eventually managing to use the Fleece to raise Kronos. [[DeadpanSnarker Always having a quip at hand]], and constantly keeping Percy on the defensive, Luke proves to be as smart as his book counterpart.

* EstrogenBrigade: Yes, ''Percy Jackson'' was originally marketed to preteen boys, but a large number of girls and adult women love Rick Riordan's books (and male characters) too. Then again, Uncle Rick kinda set this up to happen by saying Percy had the body of a Roman god, showing Luke in a wet shirt, and don't get us started on Nico di Angelo...

** The entire encounter with Procrustes in ''The Lightning Thief'' is basically immediately forgotten after Percy slays him; it's essentially an avenue to tell Percy the location of the Underworld's entrance, and has been omitted in every adaptation... except the TV series, where he ''is'' set to appear.

* CaptainObviousReveal: Aunty Em's Gnome Emporium is covered with incredibly detailed stone statues, and "Aunty Em" herself has her entire body covered, is accompanied by a hissing sound, and wants to "take a picture" of Percy without having a camera. It is so absurdly and immediately obvious that this woman is Medusa that you're baffled as to how the characters are even remotely falling for it.

Even in-universe, Percy is a little embarrassed by how long it took him to put it all together.

** Chiron. Is he a good trainer that wants the best for every single one of his students or is he a very flawed person that plays favorites. In the first book he gaslights Percy, dismisses his trauma and valid concerns. Does not let him watch the orienation film, which causes Percy to be very confused around camp and an easy target for mockery. In the second book is is very quick to exploit Percy's talents to clear his name. But once Talia is de transformed from the pine tree Chiron quickly starts to ignore Percy in favour of Talia. Talia does not miss the chance to rub it in Percy's face and blame Percy for everything that goes wrong, which is actually Talia's own fault and Annabeth's fault. Chiron allows this to continue.
