Eric pointing at his "I eat kids" shirt at the mention of Kronos 😂
Omg I didn't connect this in my head, I just thought why is he pointing at that character from Gravity Falls. And it's even worse considering that I read the books. 😅😂
The Percy Jackson series has always been my favourite interpretation of Hades. Most series' just conclude "We'll he's the greek version of Satan so he must be evil as shit" and have him want to conquer the world or something. But in reality Hades is actually supposed to be super content in the underworld and doesn't really care about what happens outside of his domain, and why should he? He governs the dead, and everyone will end up in his realm eventually
Percy Jackon hades in the books was hardly content, he is bitter and brooding because of reasons
he is endlessly annoyed by the ammount of work he has to do
@@FlyingwithFire He is bitter and broody because he is actually kinda chill but everyone treats him like the devil lol that and the endless paper work since the underworld theoretically has way more people than the entire planet so just imagine the amount of burocracy. The impression ive had of him in the first book was just that he was tired of everything, not necessarily jealous of his brothers
@@FlyingwithFireBook Hades in a nutshell ”Why would I want war?? Think of the paperwork!!”
@@gabrieldossantos1116 He also specifically dislikes Percy because Zeus and Poseidon gave him shit for not sending his kids to Camp Half Blood when they made the vow not have more children, to the point where they tried to have the kids killed and actually did kill their mother.
So you can see why Hades would be a tad pissed that when Zeus and Poseidon break their vows, suddenly their children must be protected.
Generally speaking, the reason Hades is bitter is because he's been treated like shit by his relatives.
I always prefer the Jim Butcher version, where he is basically the only Greek gods that cares about his job, and it's basically what he is doing even in most mythological depiction. The only 'bad' thing associate with him is the thing with Persephone. And that's just angry mother-in-law bad mouthing him because she disapprove of their relationship.
And finally Hades is described as he is supposed to be, dignified and in distaste of te family drama and power games.
Not the typical mustache twirling villain.
Imo his characterisation differs too much from the book, which hinders some storylines in later books
@@fab647 I mean not really, at least i dont think so. I dont remember the first book very well but the impression I've always had of Hades in the books is that he is just tired of everything which ya know its kinda fair. Here he is just a bit more lively. I'm curious, why do you think he is so different?
in the books hes described as the first god that felt and looked like one, this guy did not lmao. in the books hes 10 feet tall has a terrifying cloak, actually commands respect and acttually speaks about killed them all and would never just make a deal like this guy did. Hes really a different character @@gabrieldossantos1116
I found this version of Hades pretty accurate. He's done with all the random stuff with his brothers, and a bargaining man. Which is why he didn't give a crap about the bolt, he just wanted what was his returnee, and he'd give Percy his mom back. As he said, "quid pro quo"
Too bad they omitted his rant about how much the bureaucracy of his realm (paperwork, constantly having to expand for new residents) is enough of a headache without the throne of Olympus. Just because it’s both funny and characterising of him as above (most of) his family’s petty squabbles, especially Zeus the tantrum-throwing brat of a younger (youngest? I don’t remember if Hades or Poseidon was the eldest brother in PJ-verse, but it’s inconsistent even in the canon…) brother.
Ah, well; I still really like him. And I know Rick Riordan was involved so it’s a given, but… it’s still kind of surreal that ANY Disney-distributed project would actually depict Hades as he actually was in the myths - not popular and distrusted by mortals, but pretty laid back overall.
Fun fact: Toby Stephens (Poseidon) is Maggie Smith's (McGonagall) son. 😊😂 just wanted to put it out there. Also s1 only covers the 1st book. They're hoping for one season per book (5)
Whhaaaattttt??? That’s awesome! Thank you! 🤩
That's DAME Maggie Smith. We respect that title. She earned it.
The only thing I’m worried about is how old these kids are gonna be by season 5 🙃
Believe me, the guys know all about Toby Stephens already 😂
@@my5headI figured 😂 considering their deep love of black sails. It was also for PJO fans who are only discovering him now. When he got cast as poseidon, I was so happy to see him on screen again.
toby stephens as poseidon is just *chefs kiss*
Agreed!! Great casting
Now we need Zach McGowan as Zeus
Fun fact..
Julian Richings, who plays Procrustos here actually played Charon the Ferryman in the first Percy Jackson movie
And played Death in Supernatural.
And was in the first “Doom Patrol” season as the Nazi scientist who gave Mr. Nobody his powers.
I found this interesting with how vehemently Rick wanted nothing to remind anyone of the movies~
He also played death in supernatural
@@toriecarter2711well, i don’t think most people would remember (i didn’t, even tho I’m a long time fan of the books, i recognized him from supernatural mostly (also fun fact i started watching spn because i heard jake abel was in it after seing the pjo movie)) while on the other hand he’s a good actor, experienced and well liked. I was kind of wary when i saw they were doing krusty rather than DOA because that guy has quite the vibe that could be weird depending on the actor but was instantly relieved when i saw him. He was the perfect choice.
The satyr protectors aren't assigned to specific children. They are sort of just moving around different schools and seeing if they pick up the aura or scent of a demigod. Grover sensed that Percy is a powerful demigod and asked Chiron to come to the school for help/backup. He must have been very worried about protecting another powerful demigod after what happened to Thalia
Yeah. Grover actually found all of the Greek Big Three Children: Thalia, Percy, Nico and Bianca were all found by him.
@@WarGrowlmon18
spoilers!!!
wait!!! grover found nico and bianca??? aren’t they from the 70s tho? or do you mean just finding them again after they left lotus? i haven’t read the books in a long while but i really want to again.
@@john.c.munoz04 spoilers!!!
Grover, along with Thalia, Annabeth, and Percy found Bianca and Nico at a boarding school in Maine after they had been taken out of the casino. They're born in the late 20s, went into the casino in the early 40s - where they stayed for 60-70 years.
@@ser132 spoilers
shit you’re right! they were trapped there for like 70 years but born in the 20s. man, i really wanna reread the books.
i hope they can work out these stories fast so we can also get heroes of olympus and see jason and the others. i saw an interview and the cast already looks so mature.
38:36 in the books, the gods has the ability to be in multiple places at once by splitting their essence and consciousness, so one part of poseidons essence could be talking to sally, the other could be at the beach surfing, the other could be by a river fishing, the other could be just sitting on his under water palace and so on
Spoilers:
and as you find out in Heroes of Olympus, another one could be posing as their Roman counterpart
yep, he could be hanging out with his wife at the same time he's talking to Sally.
PJO SPOILERS
12:12
Calvin: Well, whose were they to begin with?
Aaron: They were Hermes', right?
Me: So close, guys, so close it's painful
I know, Aaron even said his name
to begin with, not just before 🤣
Fun fact: Satyrs don't have souls, so instead of going to the Underworld when they die they get reincarnated! I think specifically they reincarnate into plants.
That begs the question though...if Grover died inside Cerberus, would there just be a cute little flower sticking out his ass?
💀💀💀
Kronos (Father Time, Saturn, Grim Reaper) is associated with sand because it is found in time turners. Kronos in pieces represents the division of time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. Kronos eats his children just as time eats away our lives. Percy runs out of time, in the show, in order to show that Kronos has already won, at least in some small way.
Haven't thought of that but yes it does
Very interesting considering his position as an Agricultural God too.
@@sloganreadet1151there’s a time for sowing and a time for reaping…💯
Toby Stephens going from Sea Captain to Sea God is just perfect!
The thing about the gods in PJO... well, the book is about Percy Jackson, not the gods. So it makes sense that they'd be more like cameos. Also, although I loved the way Hades was played, the left out something from the book which was when they accuse him of wanting a war to get more people and power and Hades is like "MORE dead souls? Why would I want that? Where do you think I would put them? We are at MAX capacity!"
i do love hades being frustrated with logistics and not caring a bit about the family drama
THAT part and the line about the bathtub really should've been there. instead we got a dumb joke about buying a new whistle.
Not Eric pointing at his shirt the moment they say Kronos!
Eric's instinct about using the lightning bolt on ares is kind of hilarious tbh. The what-if scenario we deserve
What first drew me to the Riordanverse is that it depicted Hades as a psychopomp and not a Satanic Archetype which is how he should be. I despise how so many pagan death gods are depicted as being akin to Satan in popular culture. Hades is one of the most noble of the Greek Gods. I think only Hestia is more noble than Hades. I can completely understand why Riordan depicts Hades as darker and more bitter thanks to thousands of years of mistreatment by his family and mortals. It's realistic and yet Riordan didn't use it as an excuse to vilify Hades. If anything, Zeus is more vilified than Hades by Riordan which is very rare in Greek Myth adaptations which tend to heroify Zeus and Heracles despite them being some of the most vile rapists, adulterers and murderers ever depicted.
I always like the Jim Butcher version, where he is basically the only Greek gods that cares about his job, and it's basically what he is doing even in most mythological depiction. The only 'bad' thing associate with him is the thing with Persephone. And that's just angry mother-in-law bad mouthing him because she disapprove of their relationship.
The storm was Poseidon as well, he’s stormbringer
Good to know. I was confused why the god of the seas would have control over rain. I think the thunder was probably Zeus though, since that was when Sally asked Poseidon to see Percy.
Yeah Percy's got that power too. He created a hurricane while fighting Hyperion during the Battle of Manhattan and a small scale one while fighting the ghosts on the Alaskan Glacier in The Son of Neptune. Percy and Thalia's brother Jason Grace also combined their powers to create a storm once.
Fun fact: Poseidon is also the causer of earthquakes! Stormbringer, Earthshaker, God of the Sea. He wears a lot of hats.
@@delightfullymischievous9684Yep. Percy once erupted Mount Saint Helens by accident!!!
imagine not reading the books and then reading this. like who did what where when?@@WarGrowlmon18
So far I think hades and hephaestus are my two favorite Olympians they don't want to be involved with the family drama
If I had ever written a self-insert fanfic for PJO, I would have chosen Hephaestus no question; I always empathised with him, his character is pretty likeable, and the powers would be cool.
That, and the ones I’d have otherwise picked would be Gary Stu quality… because Hera, Artemis and Hestia breaking their marriage/celibacy vows is inconceivable to me.
@kokopium8003...he is mostly good in PJO. Originally? His predatory antics could give his father a run for his money, so I personally wouldn't rank him highly
I don’t recognize Toby Stephens from anything but his voice is very fitting for Poseidon.
He was Captain Flint on Black Sails, a phenomenal but underrated show, and Stephens was extraordinary in it. One of the best villainous protagonists ever on screen.
@@my5head (Minor Spoilers) But, he's not really that villainous, i mean the show clearly portrays his and madi's actions as justified while silver stands apart from them based on his flaw of personal loyalty (very percy coded of him). He's definitely morally questionable but his function never really strays into villainy, only flirts with it.
@@rhaenatargaryen8061 I've seen the show 10+ times and just about every Black Sails character is a villain. Flint killed pirates and innocents alike, but you're supposed to turn a blind eye because he's the protagonist. Nonetheless, he's still a villain.
I first watched him in Lost in Space. He was a great father character there, as soon as they cast him I just knew he was gonna be perfect as Poseidon!
@@laylammoraisoh I loved that show. Very underrated Netflix series. He was also the main villain in a bollywood movie mangal Pandey the rising.
The Underworld was divided into three regions: Elysium, a paradise for the heroes whom the gods conferred immortality were sent; Tartarus, a black pit/Prison for the mortals who have angered the gods, or who were considered to be impious were sent Including the Titans.; and the Asphodel Meadows, which is the Place for the normal people.
There's also the Fields of Punishment, which is the place for the bad people.
@@poisonxivy8602Yep. Tartarus is the Special section of the Fields of Punishment. Elysium has its own special section too, the Isle of the Blessed.
When I was first reading I remember that I wasn't actually very sold on the story until the whole Hades thing happened right by the end. I've never personally liked most interpretations of Hades as a villain (except Hercules, that Hades is fire) because he was literally the most chill and least problematic out of all greek gods. Hades having nothing to do with the Master Bolt but getting framed because even the other gods and demigods were weary of him was the most impressive plot twist ever for little kid me lol
It’s confounding how the movies looked at the book with its clever twist, and decided, “Nah we’re just gonna do the Hollywood thing”… And between that and the next film they made a Surprised Pikachu face when fans hated it.
Yeah, Disney’s “Hercules” is so audaciously it’s own thing that I just don’t mind at that point, even if it’s a terrible representative of the myths (except the self-fulfilling prophecy part, that’s so Greek…) And while I don’t care for James Woods as a person, the fact he made the character unique as opposed to a bog-standard villain (it was him who went the “sleazy car salesman” characterization) and to this day is passionate enough to reprise the role WHENEVER he’s asked, is something I absolutely respect about him as a performer and artist… Ah; I miss the truly great Disney villains.
Both hades isn’t accurate to book
eric's giddiness over poseidon before he's revealed is so relatable lmao man, i've missed seeing toby stephens in something after my black sails binge a few years ago. the man knows how to command a scene like very few others can. he does so much with so little time and i just always want more of him. what perfect casting, so thankful we have the black sails creators at the helm of this story and that they're bringing along more black sails alums in like jessica and toby. fingers crossed for a luke arnold appearance in future seasons idc who he plays i just miss him lol
the thunder when poseidon considers talking to percy is so!!! i loved that little touch so much!! ZEUS MIND UR OWN BUSINESS DAMN!! and ares about to throw hands with a 12 year old sir grow up!!
and yes janci!! definitely watch black sails! be aware of the triggers esp in the first season but i cannot recommend it enough. it's one of the best completed stories i've ever seen a series tell and toby stephens is just so incredible in it he's mesmerizing. the man can do a monologue!!
and bear mccreary does the score for pjo and he also did it for black sails (and aos!!) so u know that poseidon coming down with his trident while black sails music plays could actually happen lol
also sidenote--kinda love that the underworld looks like the upside down lmao
The guy who plays Crusty isn't just death from Supernatural, but he was also in the original Percy Jackson movie as Charon/ the ferryman to the underworld!
Ah, knew I recognized him from something related to this. I wish they adapted the whole scene, he’s a great actor.
I’m so excited for them to see next week. There were several comments in their reaction that made me giddy for their reaction.
37:22 it wasnt mentioned in the series but in the books, grover was already at yancy on a lookout for new demigods when he discovered that percy was a demigod, he wasnt sure who percys godly parent was but he knew that percy was special and powerful. Chiron only do "house calls" as they called it or only shows up in person if the demigod is truly special and powerful. So to answer your question, stayrs are usually sent to schools on a scouting mission to find new demigods and chiron only shows up when a powerful or special demigod is spotted/found by the satyrs. The same reason why grover was the same satyr who found thalia. When grover found thalia and found out that she is a daughter of zeus he got strict orders to camp immediately. Thats all ill say since the rest will most likely be explained in the future
I’m actually on season 3 of Black Sails right now because you guys recommended it when you were watching the Ahsoka series because of Ray Stevenson. It’s one of my new favorite shows for sure.
Just one more episode to go, wasn’t expecting the series to be this great.
My one big peeve with this show, is how thats the 3rd time they've walked in somewhere and immediately gone "i know exactly who you are and what i need to do to get past you"
It’s a way to get the exposition out the way because it can’t be read like in a book.
Maybe it would be better if they didn’t monologue it and just had a conversation, but I get it.
It's done alot better in the books..as Percy often says he knows who everyone is because his mom has told him all the Greek mythology stories over and over since he was really young.
@@ElleKayGeeit also gets tiring week after week just being “the trio goes to a new place. The trio walks into a place unsuspecting of danger. They discover that it’s a trap and they’ve been tricked. The trio beat the monster then get out.” Like Medusa, the arch, Lotus Casino, and Procrustes just get tiring week after week especially because the trio just goes there without a reason.
The show does it better because the same events still play out, but the trio have a reason to be there that’s just not “we came across this place randomly and decided to check it out.” They go to Medusa’s bc they’re trying to escape Alecto, they go to the arch for sanctuary, they go to the casino for Hermes and directions, and they go to Procrustes for the entrance. Each place is unique and has a reason for being part of the story instead of “the trio are dumb and don’t learn from their mistakes and get tricked again.”
@@ElleKayGee I wish they struggled more. Like I was ok with them immediately knowing Medusa, because that's obvious. But walking into the Lotus Casino and immediately going "this is the Lotus Casino, where they trap people with brainwashing". Then this time when they went to Crustys and went "you trap travellers with your beds". Like I want them to EXPERIENCE the traps, not just point them out immediately.
Well Percy's mom has been telling him stories and Grover and Annabeth are already familiar with that world and are able to pick up the context clues a lot quicker. Plus, that is so messed up to think that Mr. Crusty is Percy's half brother.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Percy Jackson And The Olympians!!!!😊😊😊😊
This was prob my favorite episode so far :D With all the backstory and the info we got :D Just a great episode that felt like it was 1,5 hour long even do it was shorter :D
Bear Mccreary (guy who did the music on Black Sails among other things) was just in a hollywood records video explaining all the themes he constructed for this show. It's so nice to be in such amazing hands for this series and continuing on to future books hopefully.
Best episode so far!!!
I watched black sails once I found out they would be doing Percy Jackson and I really see the touch they are bringing to this show. they are really good at adding more perspective to an already established story and I think they are doing that here as well. there's this great video essay that talks about all the things that the black sails writers can bring to Percy Jackson as well as character comparisons... (it's what caused me to watch black sails! Did not regret it one bit!)
another fun reaction, thanks guys!~
This show is fun, I wish more people could be happy with the whimsy
This was my favorite episode so far. There was a permanent tension and sadness, that felt in perfect tone with the fact that they where in the underworld. Greetings from Chile🥰
This episode was so good
Funny i'm coming from your reaction-video :D
The actor playing Procusto is the same one who portrayed Charon The Ferryman in the movie adaptation of the book.
And here I thought Rick swore off any references to the movies
@@chaossalad3243I think he just fit the bill really well so it’s most likely a one time thing. Procrustes is a real slimy guy in the books and the old Charon actor sells the look.
@@sloganreadet1151 probably just auditioned and got the role
I'm pretty sure Rick said he didn't even see the movie after reading the script
The "he's made of water" "we're all made of water" exchange made me laugh so much ekdhkdhekdje
As a long time fan of the Books and someone who saw both movies when they released (and hated them), I'm REALLY happy with how faithful this adaptation has been. I was worried they'd lose the heart and humor of the story as ultimately, that's what sets it apart for me. Really looking forward to the end of this season and (hopefully) the next 4 seasons (and maybe Heroes of Olympus after that).
The guy who played crusty was actually Charon the boat guy in the underworld in the original lightning thief movie
I can't believe that they ended the episode there! Now I have to wait a whole week to see their fight, which is my favorite part of the first book. Also there's a sequel series Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus..so this show could technically be 10 seasons long.
It was obvious that they are gonna end this episode there. I even said to myself at the beginning of this episode that it's gonna end there. Rick is a big time lover of cliffhangers literally if you know you know. 🤫 (Maybe in the 8th season, or the second series third season I hope)
I have to say that I was a bit nervous after the change from the book at the end of episode 6, but now I know to trust Uncle Rick's process, this episode was so good!!!! and it got me PUMPED for the finale :))))
the logisics of perl and dog poop section got me dying!! 🤣
"Go watch Black Sails."
YES ! :)
Best Episode yet. Great backstory and the main story was well written
the shirt is so perfect!!! 😂😂
Great episode!
The kingdom of hell is beautiful!
Hades and Poseidon were characterized well as characters.
I'm liking all the gods introduced in the series!
It's been 15 years since I read the books so maybe I'm just not remembering something. But was anyone else extremely confused when the story jumped from "Get hit by car, appear on beach, talk to water spirit" to "walk into a mattress store"?
Fun that you would post this on the 10th anniversary of the start of black sails :D
Just so you know, the last episode has a post credits scene that’s fun to watch!
Fun fact: Julian richings (procrustus) played Charon in the Percy Jackson movie. Nice Easter egg
This show makes me want to replay Hades and God Of War
Love how you're still thinking the bathroom scene was in the movie
Toby Stephens was also in Netflix's Lost In Space reboot (an underrated gem imo), where he played the dad, John Robinson. He's just really good at these tortured estranged father roles lol. I absolutely loved his scene with Sally, I thought that was the hands-down the best scene in the whole show
This episode was great,I really like how they portrayed Hades and his realm :)
I see someone is a fan of Fourth Wing!! 😉 nice shirt, Jancy!!
Eric how have you not watched Black Sails with Janci yet?
40:49: As I remember, Asphodel is like a gladiator field that’s sad and not cool.youre just wandering there.
There’s Asphodel, fields of punishment, Elysium and Isles of the Blessed.
I was today years old when I found out Toby Stephens is Maggie Smith’s son.
I swear, if Annabeth's regret had anything to do with Magnus, I'm gonna flip my lid
Also, the PTSD flashbacks from a) seeing the pit of Tartarus and b) seeing Annabeth hanging onto the side of the wall
Magnus is the same age as Annabeth right? (Spoiler) doesn't happen until he's 14 and his book series starts when he's 16. so at this point he should be fine, unless I'm forgetting something that happened earlier? I'm guessing Annabeth's regret is about her dad.
@@rebecca019 I'm just referring to the fact that Magnus was one of her family members that she actually had a good relationship with and then she never saw him again. Realistically the regret is about her dad but there's an off-chance
Point of order: there are 17 books, with 2 more on the way.
Plus the other series set in the same world, but about Egyptian and Norse mythology.
The Egyptian ones are good!!!
the underworld has 5 places, the isles of the blessed which is where you go after 3 times elysium, elysium which is where you go if youve lived a good life and you can choose to get reborn for the isles of the blessed, asphodel which is where normal people go and its very crowded, the fields of torture where bad people go and tartarus which is where monsters and powerful entities like kronos go. also in the books hades is pretty upset with getting the underworld and he isnt evil but he isnt very nice either, they say something like they have met 3 gods but hades was the first one who actually felt like one with a very threating pressence
Percy would blow up from using the master bolt
Captain Flint is so perfect!
💙💙💙
I'm not fully on-board with Percy immediately realizing that the pit was Tartarus and it was Kronos trying to pull him in, even just one line after Grover was saved, calling that pit Tartarus or something, and I would've been fine with it
I also believe Bear McCreary is doing the music as well
I like a lot of his work, but sadly not a big fan of the soundtrack here. Or at least the main theme
@@chaossalad3243 same it's not his best. But the end theme isn't all that bad it's just not worth listening to on its own
Crusty's beds are all six feet exactly. if you're too big, he lops off the extra. too small, he stretches you out to fit, like a torture rack.
for Cerberus, it's not the stomach(s) that are important. the taste buds are in the mouths. so it's important for him which head eats the treat for the taste of it. after that the dog is fed, it just depends on the head who enjoys the food.
for the next poll you should do a caviate that the show might diviate from the books and the movies so they should give their own theories to why and let janci sive through the spoilery comments
If y'all haven't yet, you really need to react to Lost in Space.
Iirc are the episode titles the same as the chapters in the books?
The Crusty scene was a nod to the book where they cut off crusty's head
Would love a HEEL Blind Wave channel hahaha
This was the 2nd Supernatural actor to show up. Fingers crossed Felicia Day shows up soon.
This reaction released later than usual for me, it's almost midnight after watching the video.
"we take a Zebra to Vegas" is the title of last weeks episode. Where did you get riding from? lol
The design of the underworld is incredible, it's so dark and creepy.
The music is fantastic, the acting is on point, Cerberus is very cool. An almost perfect episode.
I just wish Hades was more menacing. He doesn't have that Godly presence.
Also, did not expect to see Poseidon this episode, that was a good surprise. I love Toby Stephen already as the God of the Seas. I haven't watched Black Sails yet (it's on my list), I did watch Lost In Space and loved him in it.
Oh Aaron, if only you knew.
I have an idea of what Annabeth's regret might be but I'm not sure. Maybe she'll say what it is next episode. Speaking of which, I can't believe next week is the season finale. It makes me sad just thinking about it. 8 episodes is not enough, that's for sure.
The conversation about Cerberus' poop LMAO
PS: To Janci: You're only mad because you know, like me, what is coming. Don't worry, we'll see it next episode.
I don't know if the show is gonna cover it, but in the book, I think Chiron and Grover were at Yancy for a year.
Hades also explicitly said he’s not kahooting with Ares, so the poll might as well just be is he lying or not.
He's not. Hades is completely innocent in all of this.
@@WarGrowlmon18 Kindly rewatch 42:40 and reread my comment, and reevaluate the relevance of your statement.
Slight Spoiler:
40:47 Earth is actually Hades’ domain according to later books (if I remember correctly) while the Wikipedia says: “[…] with the solid earth (long the province of Gaia) available to all three concurrently.”
Actually, what lies beneath* th earth is th domain of hades, both in books n in actual mythology. Th earth belongs equally to all th big 3
Is Janci wearing a fourth wing shirt???
Pretty sure she is!
So I‘m not the only one who noticed?
Oh that is so cool!
Do Blue Eye Samurai
Technically you have to buy your way into Hades, you must pay the ferryman to cross, so thats not unreasonable at all in my mind. I read the books so I know what happens there regardless of where the show goes
Y’all NEVER stick around for the post credits scene. 😬
You guys should check out the new Halo season 2 trailer
Eric do a Jancie reaction watching Black Sails
I rarely like adaptations for books I love, so I'm kind of in the middle on this one. I don't love it but I certainly don't hate it either, it's just kind of fine, to me, but like I said I'm a harsh judge. I still hope it does really well and they make all 5 seasons. It also might grow on me, the HP movies did. (Plus I thought they got better, and this show could too.)
People who read the book knows who the real Lightning thief is
It's Luke. He has a lot of anger and bitterness towards the gods, his father in particular and Kronos took advantage of that. Luke and Kronos are the main antagonists of the first five books. In the book, Camp Half-Blood was on Olympus on a field trip during the Winter Solstice, the one day of the year that Hades is allowed there. The gods symbols of power were unguarded in the throne room (Zeus has TERRIBLE security, Percy once snuck into Zeus' brunch with a bunch of minor gods, half of the Olympian Council and Zeus' mom Rhea without Zeus ever realizing that he was there and it was in Zeus' own palace!!!) so Luke snuck in and stole the Helm and the Bolt. Hades kept quiet because he didn't think that anyone would care enough to offer him justice and Hades believed that admitting to the theft would leave him too vulnerable.
Zeus sent his children to find the Bolt and Ares caught Luke, but Kronos convinced the God of War that it would be better to use it to trigger the biggest war ever. Ares took possession of the items and told Zeus and Poseidon his "suspicions" about who actually stole the Bolt, igniting the war tensions. The backpack is actually the Bolt's sheath, Ares put an enchantment on it similar to the one on Riptide so that the Bolt returned to its sheath when it entered the Underworld/got close to Tartarus. The shoes were supposed to take Percy and the Bolt into Tartarus to Kronos, but Percy gave them to Grover instead because Zeus would quite literally probably kill him for flying. The shoes never fit Grover properly because of his hooves which is why they came off and it saved him.

@@metalcorian I thought that WAS a question
I'm flash😏
Mild spoilers for the rest of the book
As a kid, I loved the reveal that Hades wasn't the villain. I wasn't really into Greek mythology, and from pop culture, I "knew" that Hades is supposed to be the bad guy, so I didn't even question it while reading. The fact that Rick subverts this and portrays Hades much closer to his usual interpretations in myths worked on so many levels, not to mention the scene where it happens is written so well
i´m disappionted in how they did charon. i really liked him in the books. made me laugh
aaron seems surprised he didnt remember toby sevens from the trailer. Since when does aaron remember anything from trailers??
I feel like if you watch the show first before reading the book you’ll love it but if you read the book before watching the show you’re not gonna like the show that much. Well doesn’t mean that the show is bad but It’s like the lightning thief 2.0 ver and i’m gonna stick with the original ver. The books still superior.
It happened to me with harry potter as well tho, I watched the movies before i read the books and i like the movies but after i read the books i realized that the movies weren’t good enough.
40:24: earth shaker.
Better not talk about who rules the earth. 👀
I have some questions for people who have read the books, did the first book had action? And Percy exploring his powers throughout the journey? Or was it as this season has been, barely any action and Percy basically never exploring his powers?
I do know that apparently the fight against Ares is the first time Percy fully uses his powers against a full on god, and I’ve seen from alot of people who’ve read the books that the Percy/Ares fight is amazing in the books, really hope Rick does the fight justice in the series next episode 🤞🏼
The first book had action, but it was mainly abt establishing the Percy/Annabeth/Grover trio, Percy learns abt his powers mainly through accidents (Falling into the water at the Arch, Annabeth pushing him in water, Clarisse and co. trying to swirly him). In later books he does explore his powers purposefully and yes the Percy/Ares fight is awesome.
@@MarleyGompel Alright then, I can calm down then😂Cuz it’s been annoying me that there’s barely been any action and Percy basically not using his powers, but if the books were similar, ight then...But I really hope they nail that Percy and Ares fight tho🤞🏼
The first book had action, but it was mostly a few monster fights: Alecto (twice), the Minotaur, Medusa and Procrustes mostly. Percy did have some powers moments, including in the book version of the Tunnel of Love scene (that was completely different to the way that it went in the show), but his one really big use of them in the first book is during his fight with Ares which is gonna be in the finale. It's not until the subsequent books that Percy really starts to learn about his powers and can do big things with them.
@@WarGrowlmon18 ight then...Man they better not disappoint with that Ares fight then🤞🏼
Hopefully not!!! Percy's seriously powerful. I mean in later books he's created a couple of hurricanes and once he caused Mt. Saint Helen's to erupt BY ACCIDENT with him inside of it. Which he survived. Long story, but Percy's friends thought that he died and Percy ended up crashing his own funeral!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hope they watch the movie after the season is over lol. It'd be fun to see them compare
I watched the second movie Yesterday and was shocked. I didn't think it would be that bad. What did they do to Annabeth? 💔
Most of them have already seen it
@@ketchup016 they’ve done reactions where only one person hadn’t seen the movie, so that argument is invalid
Just me or did this episode start kinda abrupt. I had to check i didn't skip an ep
In the future do not put I watched the movie as a choice for the poll. The movie is nothing like the book and any information someone has from the movie is almost definitely incorrect/invalid.
19:36 "It's not like Luke....Betrayed him." ......Hmm.....
Janci has really forgotten the books
Who could blame her, they change so much from the book that even some other boom readers reactors don’t know what gonna happen in the series, they even need to double check the books for details sometimes, Jancy is not doing that plus I don’t think she’s the equivalent of “Potterhead” in the fandom aka the fans who remembers and knows every single thing.
Plus I think she also try not to spoil the story, like some of their other reactions when 1 of them already watch the show and know how everything goes, they still participate in discussions and throw in random guesses/theories just to confuse them, basically not confirming or denying any of their theories.
@@BluePeach0214 She's definitely trying to avoid spoilers, but you can tell when she remembers things and when she doesn't. I wasn't talking about the minor things, she's forgetting some major stuff and also mixing in some stuff from the movie.
