Near the end of Percy Jackson and the Olympians' first episode, the title character quizzically notes that the Minotaur is wearing his underwear. The observation happens as the mytholgical beast pursues Percy, his mom and his friend Grover Underwood. Watching the bus-sized monster charge right at them, trying to run young Percy off the road, is a tense scene. There's an inherent goofiness to it when when viewers realize the Minotaur's pulling off this assault in just his tighty-whities, but that doesn't make it any less suspenseful.
