Glad to see people who actually read the books reacting to the series. Most of the people reacting to it that I’ve seen so far have only seen the 2010 movie and think this is an adaptation of that and don’t even know about the books 😭😭
Literally 10 straight videos of losers who didn’t actually read the books offering opinions
Its so frustrating
C'mon now let's not gatekeep the show. The more people watch, thehigher chances of getting more seasons
IT'S SOO ANNOYING 😭
That hurts 😢
I actually don’t mind the change in Sally. I think they had to show very quickly that sally doesn’t like or respect Gabe and that she is there by her choice for some reason (which we find out later). I think her moment in the rain was a moment to get away from everything before the shit hits the fan and she has to send her son away (and the rain might remind her of Percy’s dad). Overall it seems like they’re showing a little more what it must have been like for sally to hold all the weight and responsibility of keeping Percy’s secret and keeping him safe all on her own.
literally!! sally feels so much more…complex? especially getting to see her through the lens of percy: her oddly sitting in the rain, tolerating gabe yet not letting him run over her, crying when percy woke up in the car, etc. just one of the characters im most excited to see develop as the series continues
Not only that but guys there will be flashbacks of sally and Poseidon and sadly gabe so they will explore that as well
i totally agree, i'm enjoying the slight changes they are making to her character, I think it sets her story and personality up really well for people who maybe havent read the books, or havent for a long time. I do think they should have made gabe look and act grosser though, haha
@@actuallymack complex is exactly it! Idk, maybe cause i'm older now, but i find myself so interested in her character exploration this go around.
@@zee5060 right? you couldn't quite smell him through the screen lol
Rick Riordan himself made all the changes in this, this is how HE envisioned it should be adapted into video format. I also feel some changes are meh not a huge fan of grover betraying percy to get him expelled. But this isn't supposed to be the book copied onto screen it's still an adaptation that is meant for 8 episodes a book.
This show is going to be so good just based on these first two episodes! Can’t wait!!
agreed!!
It's great now I'm waiting for episode 3and 4when is it coming out
it's much more enjoyable to sit and just not compare everything to the books because despite it being based from the books; it's without a doubt gonna have differences "but in the books this happened" but what bookworms fail to realize is that it's not the books its an ADAPTATION
Agreed, I think you set yourself up to fail really, if you keep comparing everything to the source material, the best way to enjoy any adaptation is to let go of the desire of wanting everything to be a carbon copy..it´s hard, but it can be done and makes the experience much more fun ...also, if you haven´t read the book just watch the show/ movie first, that also helps 😅
My only issue was Gabe he was way more ruthless in the book to sally, but I figured they wanted to keep it a little light hearted but I do think that was important to keep in, however compared to the 2 eps this is minuscule and i’m so glad they did not make Percy kill the minotaur with Riptide because him killing it with his bare hands showed how physically strong a demigod is.
My thoughts exactly. I mean spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't read book one, but Gabe is an abusive douche. Their relationship is so abusive that Sally has no issue turning him into a freaking statue by the end of book one. This Gabe is a bit of a prick too, but he doesn't seem like a terrible person overall. It instead seems more like a mutually benefitial relationship where he gets to bum around and drink beer while Sally get a smelly bloke to mask Percy's scent.
I agree. Gabe needs to be an abusive prick or I really can't get behind Sally just murdering him at the end of book one. With this version of Gabe so far, he is just a bum. Like kick him to the curb yes, but turn him to stone no.
@@quincyjohnson8806 They're clearly making changes, so that could be what they're going for. I mean I remember being pretty shocked that Sally straight up offed him, not surprised, just shocked. It was pretty fucked up after all, again not surprising he deserved it, but still.
Exactly. He's just not as despicable as he is in the books. His character is not that memorable so far..Like, it wouldn't be as satisfying if Sally were to turn him into a statue in the end. Like she did in the books.
I think there might still be flashbacks so hopefully we’ll see more of Gabe and Sally’s earlier relationship. Also I’m pretty sure Percy learns Gabe hits hits mom after his quest so we might see a hint of that near the end
Well, he weakened the horn with a sword blow as the Minotaur passed, which explains how he could snap it off with his hands...which makes sense.
And it was raining, water..sooo
Riordan wrote the first episode so the changes were made by him & i really liked them tbh
Walker's chemistry with both Aryan & Virginia is insanely good (THIS SALLY JUS FEELS...more complex)
im sure the Gabe releated shit will be expanded when he's on the news ig?
5:26 the hero's & monsters line (*cough* luke)
This is my favorite reaction of it so far! I love the dynamic of someone who knows a really good amount of the books watching it with someone with a fresher view of it all!
I can't wait for the next episode :)
There are a total of eight episodes and all of them are named after chapters within the first book
sorta spoilers:
on the part with gabe, i hope they let him show the narcissistic part of his character more when he shows up on the news and accuses percy of killing his mom
just a little easter egg, rick is the dude sitting in the back left of his expulsion scene at yancy!
Love this reaction video. I also just re read the books so hearing your little sister’s knowledge is welcomed cuz that’s exactly how I sounded watching it with someone. What they changed and didn’t change I’m mentioning 😂
this has potential to be a long running series.
Percy Jackson: 5 seasons
Heroes of Olympus: 5 seasons
3 spinoff series: kane Chronicles, magnus chase and the trials of apollo. And all this is just what I remember
Apparently Netflix has the rights to the Kane chronicles
In the books Sally is very soft spoken, barely changes her tone even when she's being pushed around by Gabe. Which is a real big part of why we readers symphatize so much for her..
Oh hey, it's the sister we've heard so much about! You two are adorable.
So far the only thing I'm not a fan of is Gabe. I dont mind how Sally is but I think if they dont hint at how Gabe treats Sally later his fate isn't going to be justified.
I don’t think he will end that way. They probably did consider it. Only thing I didn’t like was that the pace was fast.
@@Kbax3614I hope they do, otherwise just another horrible change regarding something I liked.
@@chaotic7cam In all fairness, in the original book, PERCY HIMSELF didn’t find out the full truth/extent of how Gabe treated his mom until closer to the end. So it might not be a stretch to have Gabe’s full depravity (or whatever word you think is more appropriate) be revealed closer to the end of the season (possibly even in the final episode).
I’m so excited for this! I don’t know anything about Percy Jackson, but I’m really rooting for the team of Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz, and Daphne Olive, based on the work they did on my all-time favorite show Black Sails.
Anyone else at first think that Grover was about to swear on the river styx?
I kind of wanted to see the scene when percy saw the 3 old ladies knitting the sock (i think?)
'The Lightning Thief' came out in 2006, I believe. Back then, an abused spouse appeasing her abuser by saying, 'Oh, just let us go on this trip, I'll make you bean dip with the works!', like what Sally said in the book, might have seemed sound, but I think in a post-#MeToo world - which I know was about sexual abuse specifically - it does seem rather icky to have the abused roll over like that and show her belly, so to speak. Sally may have got with Gabe to keep Percy safe, but that doesn't mean she has to stand for his shit. She can do both: help Percy and stand up to Gabe. Further reason to do the latter would be because she is scared of him deep down, since he hits her. But of course, fear naturally brings the fight response in some people over flight. Sally being girlboss makes sense.
I agree, but the problem is
Spoilers
that now they have to change the ending because this version of Gabe does not deserve death
@@Noremac_the_Negligible I guess we'll just have to wait and see, though. Happy New Year, stranger x
I really liked the changes in Sally
Sua reação é muito boa de acompanhar, parabéns pelo canal. :3
Yo, I'm enjoying your reactions and the people commenting made me feel soooo relieved, because a lot of the fans are nagging about how the show is not word by word adapted and plus other aesthetic differences, and honesyit makes me very sad so seeing these comments makes me feels good about our fandom hehe we can see the differences, but as long as they make sense for the new format and keeps the heart of the series, that's fine.
E acho muito foda saber w tu é do Brasil hehe vou me inscrever pra acompanhar a serie com vcs. Tamo junto🇧🇷✌🏾💙
Great reaction!
Ugh we get it it's not a 100 percent like the book you damn perfectionist
domi i've been watching your buffy reactions lately and i just read your youtube descrption and realized you're brazilian lol adoro seus vídeos kinga!! animada pra ver suas reactions de pjo
preciso q vc saiba q ri mto com o kingo!!!! OBRIGADA KINGA!!!!
great reaction
Rick is changing the story of Medusa and therefore gabe isn’t going to be as bad I think😂😊
19:45 Movies and shows always do this stupid monologue stuff where people spend 2 minutes talking in the middle of a life or death situation. If Percy and Grover just ran and Sally drove away (somehow the car is there after rolling) they would've been totally fine. She could've talked to him in the morning with an iris message.
This show has been so amazing! My one nitpick thing is I wish they'd given Annabeth's actress some grey contact lenses just because Annabeth's grey eyes are important to her because they remind her of her mother. But I don't know the morality of putting child actors in prosthetics though, so I digress.
They gave little Percy's actor contacts and dyed his hair to make him match Walker.
I've only read the books The Lightning Thief and Sea of Monsters like once or twice years ago back in middle school and then I saw the movie adaptation in theaters when it came out 2010 when I was 16 and I thought the movie was awesome and I thought all the other book fans thought so too but it wasn't until years later when I found out Oh No the book fans do not like the movie they hate the movie with a passion 😂😂, so I'm glad this TV show exists so we can have a more faithful adaptation and this was a damn great adaptation from what I've seen so far 🤘🔥
I actually kinda like the 1st movie (I just separate it from the books at this point).
But the 2nd was just total shit...
8:20 “ There is no war in Ba Sing Se”
If I'm not mistaken Mrs Dodds lore's Percy Jackson away from the group as she's going to yell or punish him and then that's when she attacked him. If I'm remembering the book correctly
Nancy actually spoke to mrs dodds, so I guess Nancy could see through the mist.
C’mon Percy beat his A-
Was so funny😂
Edit1: I though GABES LAST NAME WAS PRONOUNCED ugly-nalgo
I LOVE how you pointed out the same flaws/difference I saw! No sugarcoat whatsoever. The episode was good but kinda lackluster compared to the first few chapters of the book. Episode 2 was better lol
I think the reason they did that was because Disney maybe wanted it to make it more kid friendly ? Like the series clearly discrybes gabe as an abuser and here he’s softer.
Give them some slack lol. Every episode just kept getting better anyway.
When Sally asked Grover to swear to protect Percy, I really wanted her to let him swear on the River Styx.
Because swearing on the River Styx is a huge deal as it is a unbreakable oath and promise, even gods honor it. Which would have made the stakes higher in the series
No, that would honestly have been a bit cruel, especially given that Grover's a child and Sally's a mother. She wouldn't have wanted to risk placing hardship on Grover like that. She knew the two are best friends, and that they'd look after each other.
The Episode 1
I’m surprised after watching people see it that they haven’t realized it’s Kronos talking
Most of the changes so far are fine to me and approved by uncle Rick so it’s okay
My tier on Patreon didn't allow me to watch your reaction to this, and I haven't read the book this is based on, so I was only able to watch the beginning of your RUclips video. Just know that I watched enough (I hope) for it to register on the algorithm. I also gave you a like of course.
I heard they changed Salkt because they didn't want to trigger any of their audience.
They were _not_ aiming Sally to be "girlboss" 😭. They just didn't want to be too explicit with the abuse
Hey great reactions, I love Sabrina’s Piper look glad to see someone reacting that’s read the books. Most of them have just seen the movies what? Who would be your godparent? Do you think?
Thank you for noticing gabe wasn't UGLYano enough lol
3:43 what is this thing? It looks like a colchis bull but in a rhino version.. maybe a hephaestus' automaton or smth, i guess
Cool, if you didn’t reading it in 2010 you pretty much be able to read them all without having to stop for a new release. I’m pretty sure
I am really enjoying the show. I came to have FUN sharing the series, but your friend killed that vibe. I am sorry she is disappointed but she is a killjoy on this one
I came into this reaction thinking sweet, it'll be good to have a fellow book readers perspective. By the end however it was kinda annoying to hear the nit-picking over every single change from the book.
Exactly. People need to understand that not everything will be the same. Also, the story is from Percy’s POV. The is not. Everything they’ve changed, I’ve understood and can see why. They only have 8 episodes. You have to cut somethings and leave others. People are mad it going to fast but you could spend the first two episodes just at home, Yancy and the cabin. You don’t have the time for that. If they went ahead and changed major things, then yeah I’d be upset. The show is really good. People have to remember that the show is made for a younger audience. Can’t wait for the whole season
Omg you cannot copy book onto 30-40minute episodes ofc there will be changes! We don’t have Percy’s internal monologue so Rick had to show some thing’s differently.. also the books have been out since the early 2000s real fans have read it over and over again so making a carbon copy just wouldn’t be interesting
Becky is Rick's wife since 1985
Rebecca is his wife
i noticed all the diffrrent things to sally should have had a character arc becoming girl boss
and gabe isnt disgusting enouggh
2013
Love the reaction but I think it’s best if we come in and not compare the books to the show because of course it might not be as outstanding as the books but just base it on the quality of the show itself but amazing hearing y’all’s side of what yall think
exactly I felt like I was alone in that
I really think the first episode could potentially be the worst of the show (not saying it's bad, more saying everything is up from here potentially.) It has sooo much set up to do and episode 1 and 2 are 40% of the first book... that's so much to cover. After these 2 it will slow down and not feel as rushed (especially aware of this cause I'm watching it with a friend who knows nothing about the books or movies before and it felt a bit rushed to her.)
Really not bad for a difficult start.
It's better to watch it without always comparing everything to the books. "In the books" this, "in the books" that That's what you'll end up saying for the rest of the show.
Im assuming the gabe stuff will be expanded upon in future episodes because.... well. we know how it goes at the end. It has to be justified.
also love you guys' reaction!
I like it a hundred percent better than the first movie, but they still have the tone just a little off, especially the treacly stuff with Sally.
I agree with Sabrina: it's not like the book. The problem is that they have changed some important stuff. An example is Gabe's smell, where is it? It's very important. And I can imagine the Minotaur waiting for Sally to greet Percy and ask Grover to swear (she forget to ask to swear on Styx). The fight vs Doods it's very weak and Chiron gave him a pen like "I don't know what to do, just take a pen". Gabe is not real Gabe, Sally is showing her strong attitude to soon and it ruins the character. And what about Grover selling Percy with the headmaster? C'mon, it's very cheap! And why is Sally sitting under the rain? My personal opinion is that this series it's good to the ones that are new to Percy Jackson and, unfortunately, not very good for book's fans. Best part of your video? When Sabrina said "at least in the book". The best reaction everyone who read the book can have
Just found your channel loving your reactions, but please do not bring up the movies I like to think they never existed they're just a figment of our imaginations terrible imaginations
As a book lover I was so disappointed. It’s like they took away everything that reeled me in in the first few chapters and threw it away. I thought it would be more faithful and canon-based since it’s a TV show with more time, but no! I mean what even was that scene with Mrs. Dodds? The freaking movie did that better. Then Grover being a snitch. Completely doing away with the bus scene and the old ladies/the fates. Just so many unnecessary and infuriating changes I could barely get through the first episode.
i really liked these episodes anyway but i understand how they felt kind of rushed. i think the pacing will get better now that we are at camp, they needed to fit the first chapters all in one thing. also grover was a snitch 'cause he had to keep percy believing mrs. dodds didn't exist. obviously it made percy upset but i don't think it's a deviation from his character and what he was supposed to do
@@demitwiceI get it in hindsight, I just wish they’d kept more things in. Hopefully the second episode will be better.
@@demitwiceOkay the second episode was WAY better, I really enjoyed it.
THIS new percy show is TRASH... DID you read the books? The characters look NOTHING like they are described in the books just TERRIBLE CASTING it looks bad on screen dont waste your time if your a REAL fan of the original story and normal characters they COULD have stuck to the books description but of course disney got involved with an AGENDA and ruined it Cant we just get back to regular movies that stick to the story we know
You're*
