Phantom Roxas Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I've read the entire series and I've been hoping for a movie ever since but.... Percy is only 12 in the books he looks like he's 16 in the movie>.>. Wich messes up the whole point of most of the series.P.S. Did anyone see the DS game? It's total Fail XD As with all adaptations' date=' things are subject to change. I've never read the story, so I don't know the significance of age in it, but it's a lot easier to market a 16-year-old than a 12-year-old. Unless your name is Harry Potter, of course.[/quote'] There is a prophecy established in the second book about how a child of the Big Three will have to make a choice when they are sixteen, and Percy isn't sixteen until the last book.

Meh, change it to 18 and all the problems are solved. It makes more sense in a modern context as well since 18 is considered the age where you enter into adulthood.

::тǿρħєя:: Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm lucky, we just read the book through school, so the movie was a class trip. Plus some kid bought me a $4 box of candy :D The book was better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
