I Know That At Least Some Of Hermes's Monologue Would Have To Be Rooted In The Truth, But Knowing Him,

i know that at least some of Hermes's monologue would have to be rooted in the truth, but knowing him, he was probably using that to justify his absolutely garbage parenting skills and to waste the trio's time to they would miss the solstice and the meeting with Poseidon at Santa Monica

ok but big kudos to Percy "I'm a New Yorker" Jackson for actually pulling off some of the most difficult parts of driving, namely reversing out of a parking space and curved lanes. also road rage is just a requirement for driving a car, you can fight me on this

Percy and Annabeth pointedly looking at Grover when they decide not to eat anything at the Lotus Casino. god i love their dynamics so much

the mild panic in Luke's eyes when they say they know who the lightning thief is

im not trying to hate and i know I'm not alone in this, but i expected more from the Lotus Casino. like i genuinely just wanted to see a full minute's worth of footage of the trio just playing games and having fun because can you imagine two neurodivergent children just ignoring a big ensemble of games that could engage them for a lifetime????
