Writers and especially Disney, understand this, as Percy Jackson fans, we read the books in our preteens, and now we're in either senior year of high school or early college. You guys need to grow with your audience; a lot of the jokes miss extremely hard and tons of scenes are insanely cringe worthy and felt like they were directed towards eight year olds. I try not to be that guy, but every single casting was terrible. I think they could be all amazing actors and actresses, but not for the role they were given. The CGI is incredibly terrible. I cannot believe a movie made in 2010 had beyond better CGI than a high budget show created in 2023. In the first film Mrs. Dodds looked amazing in the first movie, Grover's walk and legs looked amazing, Hades looked amazing, healing sequences looked amazing, Chiron didn't look bad either... but this? The CGI has been nothing but low quality MCU show CGI (Loki not included, that show was stupendous).
