Percy Jackson & the Olympians
Summary
There is a good cause that a major role from thePercy Jackson and the Olympiansbooks wo n’t be appear in season 1 . Based onRick Riordan ’s fancy novelsof the same name , thePercy JacksonTV adaptation prognosticate to be more faithful than the original movies thanks to the author ’s direct participation in the development and yield of the show . It plans to tell the taradiddle of Percy and Camp Half - Blood as they sail the struggles of life-time for demigods in the modern world .
alas , one of the major pattern in Camp Half - Blood wo n’t be defecate his debut inPercy Jacksonseason 1 . Due to his appearance potentially constraining the special effects budget , Riordan ’s yield fellowship , Mythomagic Inc , took to Threads to announce that Argus will not be in the show .
The many - eyed Argus would have been a major progeny for the show , which would have had to devote countless hour of vivification to perfecting each of his eyes . Mythomagic compared Argus ' appearance to the Eye Guy fromPower Rangersbefore ruminate whether Argus ' appearance is truly " flagitious " .
Why Was Argus Left Out Of Percy Jackson?
produce bythe Grecian goddess Herato be her servant , Argus has an show that could only have been crafted by the gods . Sent to protect Camp Half - Blood , he serve as a security guard and is often used for his prowess as a warrior , but he also doubles as a chauffeur for any demigod planning to contract a pursuance . With eyes dispel across his body , including his glossa , he is also a figure that often serve up to frighten all freshly arriving half - bloods .
unluckily , Argus ' appearance would be a monumental restraint on the effect budget . Percy Jacksonis already a VFX nightmare , thanks to the fact that so many fictitious character have bizarre appearances or power that can be hard to animate . Percy ’s companion , Grover , has goat legs , which must be meticulously animated in nearly every one of his appearances . Percy ’s mastery over water can also be a hard chemical element for VFX artists , as can the magical item that many characters possess .
Percy Jackson and the Olympians time of year 1 ’s episode titles provide even not bad Bob Hope for Walker Scobell ’s portrayal of Rick Riordan ’s lead character .
Argus was always going to be a problem for the CGI budget . To have a relatively minor character take up such an inordinate amount of the budget would have been a problem that would impact the quality of the quietus of the show . While that means that Argus will not be appearing in anyPercy Jackson and the Olympiansepisode , the promises that the show will be faithful to the books should hopefully give the room access opened for the theatrical role to appear in the planned season 2 .
