Although the scene is n’t an emotional or protracted one , it would ’ve added to Percy and Zeus ' moral force .

The larger potential narrative issue is in maintaining Zeus ' powerful presence , throw the more sympathetic angle season 1 has takenwith many of its gods . Zeus ' scenes are already expect to be limited free-base on the book series ' events , so it ’s even more crucial to ensure his continuous wroth strength is n’t entirely diminish by this variety .
Percy Jackson and the Olympians ’ season 1 conclusion solve the quest for Zeus ’ Master Bolt , though still allow for several questions unanswered .
Additionally , if thePercy Jacksonshow steers too far from the flawed side of the Supreme Being , it runs the peril of reinventing the dynamic between god and demigods too much . This could humanize them in a room that could undermine the rigor of the villains ' arguments and Percy hold them accountable in the case ofThe Last Olympian . Although assert a more good-hearted view of the gods align with the directionPercy Jackson and the Olympianstakes in season 1 , the future of the gods ' depiction should touch on their defect to help maintain the overarching story ’s poignancy .
