However, in the end, a lack of coolness will be worth it in order for the series to make more sense with its characters' ages, and also, to keep with book accuracy. Clearly, this is a much less cool version of events. According to the book, Percy, Grover, and Annabeth get sucked into a bout of addictive video games, which is not only less controversial, but also explains how they lose track of so much time during their quest.

Ultimately, Disney will have to come to terms with the fact that nothing will compare. It is both fun and exciting, while also being inaccurate to the books and defined by its actors and specific shots. In a sense, it is the type of scene that simply can't be recreated. The casino scene has remained iconic, even as the Percy Jackson movie has faded from popular culture, and so the show will definitely have big shoes to fill.
It seems unlikely that Disney's Percy Jackson and the Olympianswill be able to live up to the movie's casino scene, especially because they have to change major elements of it.
