In another show of fidelity , Percy Jackson and the Olympiansepisode 1 ’s terrific Minotaur is strangely wear out a duet of underclothes .

The Minotaur’s Underwear Fixes Another Mistake From The Percy Jackson Movies
While the Minotaur ’s underwear will seem insignificant to those not familiar with Riordan ’s book , the case of faithfulness is welcome . The reason for this stems from the unnecessary changes made to thePercy Jacksonstory in the movie starring Logan Lerman . Some aspect of the 2010Percy Jacksonfilm - the dramatis personae included - were excellent , though its biggest issue was the lack of fidelity to the original booksby Riordan .
All book - to - film adaptations undergo changes to better fit the new spiritualist , but the Percy Jackson moving-picture show take Brobdingnagian liberties with Rick Riordan ’s books .
This was something that Riordan andPercy Jackson and the Olympianscreator Jonathan E. Steinberg wanted to rectify with the Disney+ show . As a answer of this concert effort to faithfulness , the Minotaur wearing a pair of white underclothing oddly becomes significant . IfPercy Jackson and the Olympiansepisodes 1 and 2 are anything to go by , this increase effort at fidelity was successful , proving the Disney+ show to be the adaptationPercy Jacksonfans have daydream of for decades .
