    People Are Sharing Book Details They Can't Believe The Movie Left Out, And I'm Nodding In Agreement

    Percy Jackson book fans deserve a post-movie helpline.

    In an r/AskReddit thread, user u/suestrong315 asked, " What scene was left out of a movie adaptation of a book that made you say 'WTF, why!?'" Here are some of the most-upvoted responses:

    1. "The scene in The Martian where a man on Earth is wondering what the astronaut stuck on Mars must be thinking out there all alone, and it cuts to the astronaut's log where he's like, 'How can Aquaman control whales? They're mammals.'"

Mowgli gets kidnapped by the bandar-log (monkeys) who are a bunch of curious indecisive morons but have enough numbers to overpower the group. Baloo and Bagheera try to save him but even they get overwhelmed. Then Kaa shows up, apparently the only thing the monkeys fear, and he straight-up hypnotizes them all. Mowgli and his buds escape and Kaa's all like 'I'll catch up with you later,' and it's heavily implied he's about to eat a sh*t-ton of monkeys."
