Percy Jackson author says the Disney+ series will "fix" the problem of the movies

Deadline

Rick Riordan made clear in a series of tweets Monday that he is no fan of the movie series based on his YA fantasy books. Last month, Disney+ announced it is developing a Percy Jackson series. “I still have not seen the movies, and don’t plan on ever doing so,” Riordan tweeted. “I judge them from having read the scripts, because I care most about the story. I certainly have nothing against the very talented actors. Not their fault. I’m just sorry they got dragged into that mess. Well, to you guys, it’s a couple hours’ entertainment. To me, it’s my life’s work going through a meat grinder when I pleaded with them not to do it. So yeah. But it’s fine. All fine. We’re gonna fix it soon.”
