Added DiffLines:

* DemotedToExtra: Gabe using the media to label Percy as a dangerous criminal is a major subplot in the book that impedes their quest. Here, it's only given a single mention, thus Gabe's presence in the story is only truly at the beginning and end of the season.

* KingIncognito: Zeus first appears as a man at the desk in the Empire State Building lobby. Percy doesn't realize who he is until he arrives on Olympus and sees the same guy.



* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed to make the show more appealing to younger audiences. He's still very much the same world-class {{Jerkass}} as in the books, especially towards Percy, but cuts the Jacksons some slack and allows them to take their yearly trip to Montauk. He's still shown emotionally abusive towards his stepson, though, and still brands him a fugitive for his own personal gain.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: After the "death" of Sally Jackson, he learns from the Cloven Council that Sally may still be alive and held captive by Hades. Chiron and Mr. D strictly tell him not to say anything to Percy, believing it'd be too risky for his safety. Growing sick and tired of lying to his best friend, he bravely disregards their orders and tells Percy the truth about his mother, which was enough to motivate him to accept his quest.
