But they may be siding with the author on this one: Rick Riordan, the author of the Percy Jackson series, took to social media on Monday to slam the movies adapted from his books. The conversation arose when a fan tweeted him asking if a scene in 2010's Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief had been censored for streaming. (A sequel, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was released in 2013.) To me, it's my life's work going through a meat grinder when I pleaded with them not to do it. https://t.co/YFuk55kGJU Rick Riordan (@rickriordan) June 8, 2020Finally, I still have not seen the movies, and don't plan on ever doing so.
