I see a lot of people talking about the duel between Luke and Percy, and while a lot of people are correctly interpreting the moment where Percy cuts Luke and immediately apologizes and lowers his guard as another moment revealing Percy's fatal flaw --loyalty and love for his friends, an inability to contemplate betrayal and a habit of giving mercy/redemption to those people-- I think a lot of people are misinterpreting, or glossing over the next moment--when Luke retaliates
people seems to be reading the moment where Luke strikes Percy back, knocking him to the ground and drawing blood as a comment on Luke's cruelty and violence,(in contrast with Percy's loyalty and mercy) and while i don't think that's wrong, I think a better way to look at the moment is that Luke's reaction reveals his fatal flaw.
its never explicitly stated in the books, But Rick Riordan mentioned it after The Last Olympian in interviews. Lukes fatal flaw is Wrath. he is angry, blindingly, overwhelmingly angry at the gods, and Kronos is able to manipulate and twist that anger until things go so far Luke is forced to destroy himself to save the world
The duel between Luke and Percy is such a brillant scene, yes because Luke and Percy are foils, yes we see Percy's fatal flaw in Crystal clarity. but we see Luke's too--he reacts in a surge of anger knocking Percy to the ground, making him bleed, ignoring Percys apology because in the moment he doesn't care about reconciliation only revenge, he hesitates only just before killing Percy, his rage taking over. Luke doesn't make Percy bleed in this scene in a moment of cold or calculated cruelty. its swift burning and unthinking anger. its his doom. because the next moment Annabeth reveals herself, sides with Percy, and Luke runs off, isolated, where, if you've read the books, he becomes even more tragically isolated from his friends and vulnerable to Kronos' manipulation
Loyalty and Wrath cost them both in that fight. their fatal flaws indeed.

"percy manipulated bob" "percy manipulated charon" i think the thing we all need to focus on more is the fact that he accidentally manipulated the whole of the pjo fandom into seeing him as dumb and stupid when he was just insecure as hell

Okay but the parallels of Luke and Percy singing “Good Kid” in the musical are exquisite
It really highlights the ways Percy and Luke are so similar and how easy it would be for Percy to join Luke
As much as I enjoyed the reveal in the show and as much as the book has a special place in my heart, I truly think the musical did it best

I felt really represented in episode three of Percy Jackson, like I really saw myself (<- played The Statue Of Uncle Ferdinand in the lightning thief musical)

”oh they changed the entire tunnel of love scene in the show!!”
the scene that they replaced involved spiders. A lot. budget aside, don’t you think children watching thousands of fucking spiders fill a pool would freak them the fuck out?
#percy jackson#the lightning theif#pjo spoilers#pjo series#I’m honestly kinda glad that they changed it

I don’t want to go too into detail on spoilers for this episode bc I want to give people the change to watch it before I open my mouth. That being said, I have some shit to get off my chest. spoilers for episode eight under the cut.
Actually going so insane from the Luke and Percy parallels. We had the good kid x last day of summer parallel in the musical, and now we have episode one “look, I didn’t ask to be a halfblood” and episode eight “look, you didn’t ask to be a halfblood” im physically fucking ILL!!!!
