A Hilarious Homage To The Sea Of Monsters Book

Disney revealed the titles of each Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 episodes–and book fans will be very happy by this announcement. Rick Riordan, who wrote the Percy Jackson book series, is very involved in the TV show adaptation as an executive producer.

Aside from excelling at epic fantasy stories, the author is known for adding plenty of humor to his books, which was evident in the episode titles during the first season.

Now, with the second season of Percy Jackson just weeks away from premiering, the episode titles have been revealed, continuing the trend of hilarious phrases to get fans invested in the characters and storylines.

The Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 premiere will be called “I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals.” The remaining episodes have the following comedic titles: “Demon Pigeons Attack” (episode 2), “We Board the Princess Andromeda” (episode 3), “Clarisse Blows Up Everything” (episode 4), “We Check In to CC’s Spa & Resort” (episode 5), “Nobody Gets the Fleece” (episode 6), “I Go Down with the Ship” (episode 7) and “The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well” (episode 8).

Fans of Rick Riordan’s books know that these hilarious episode titles are pulled directly from the chapter titles of The Sea of ​​Monstersthe second book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Episodes from the first season were similarly named after chapter titles from the first book, The Lightning Thief.

Season 1 episode titles include “I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher,” “I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom,” “We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium,” “I Plunge to My Death,” “A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers,” “We Take a Zebra to Vegas,” “We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of” and “The Prophecy Comes True.”

“I Ruin a Perfectly Good Bus,” “We Get Advice from a Poodle,” “I Become a Known Fugitive,” “We Shop for Water Beds,” “Annabeth Does Obedience School,” “I Battle My Jerk Relative” and “I Settle My Tab” are other chapter titles from The Lightning Thief.

Percy Jackson tells the story of the titular character who learns he’s a demigod and the son of Poseidon. Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Dior Goodjohn, and Charlie Bushnell are among the cast members on Percy Jacksonwhich returns in December with an adaptation of The Sea of ​​Monsters.

Two Percy Jackson films directed by Chris Columbus and Thor Freudenthal were released in 2010 and 2013, but fans criticized the filmmakers for not being faithful to the books. Riordan was not involved with the movies and has distanced himself from those adaptations. However, the Disney+ TV show is everyone’s chance to start over and finally create a faithful adaptation of this beloved series.

So far, it’s working, with the TV show earning a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. By comparison, the two films received “rotten” scores of 48% and 42%, respectively.

Assuming Disney keeps renewing Percy Jacksonfans should expect the hilarious episode titles to continue for years to come alongside even more exciting and action-packed seasons of storytelling.
