Yeah. I was kind of busy from a young age dealing with family turmoil and monsters, so I missed a lot of key things. Running away from home at 7 and staying at a camp year-round for demigods doesn't really leave much time for movie going.
No. They aren't. I had to go to my cousin's recently [...] only then it turned out he wasn't actually dead. Well [...] he was, but he wasn't. He's a son of Frey. Demigods run in the family, apparently. Only he's Norse and I'm Greek.
Weapons are easier. Unless you're a child of Ares. In which case, you might be really good at throwing a punch. Understandable. It's a lot with powered people.
