My issue in the changes they are doing to introduce the characters is that it will change how the new fans going blind will see them. Grover betraying Percy and getting him expelled, Sally talking back to Gabe, Gabe being in a way abusive in the show but also lame but in then books we have Percy saying that Gabe would punch him if he doesn’t give him money. Annabeth just staring at Percy with scary lightning in the background. This are the first impressions they will have of the characters and they are not true to their book counterparts and whenever you like it or not, it changes the characters dynamics.
I completely agree and yes it's definitely a reflection of the writers (per your other ask). Im genuinely baffled by the fact they chose to do some of these things and don't really understand what value they thought it was adding (because when an adaptation has deviations, it's usually for a reason...) but im just praying that they're not for nothing. Im praying they add value. Because you're absolutely right that it's skewing the idea of who these characters are at their core (which is why im so up in arms abt sally!!!!) and honestly i think that can lead to misconceptions about a lot of the main values of the series (friendship, loyalty (the thing with grover HELLOW??) understanding things from other's perspectives, family. etc.). Like my 8 year old sister watched it and doesn't like grover and it's like....you just don't get it. And you won't get it because this is your first interaction with the material

while I do like the added dialogue between Sally and Percy in the minotaur scene, namely Sally's speech to Percy telling him to hold fast, I really wish the scene had more of the urgency that it did in the book. Like Grover's heavily injured to the point of incoherency, Sally and Percy literally have to drag him up the hill, and that's when they're overtaken by the minotaur. In the show, having them all come to a grinding standstill and Grover being fully alert like "sorry I know we're being chased by certain death but your mom's human so she can't come :/" was kind of adflksadfjasdf
oh and in the book Percy doesn't immediately pass out. Instead, Percy doesn't let himself until he's hauled Grover over the boundary line and all the way to the big house because he needs help and it's only then does Percy finally collapse. and idk just the imagery of it all -- Percy crying for help, for his mother -- it always stuck with me and I wish they hadn't taken it out.
