What was your favorite part of the episode??? Medusa stole the show for me!
Actress for Medusa was incredible! I honestly wish we got to see her for longer
The trio's conversation at the end of the episode! That kinda got me a bit, ngl
grover has been my fav every episode
The scene where Medusa told the kids her tragic backstory is a real highlight for me. Kudos to the screenwriters to use some of the historical accounts that she is a victim of rape (which is only vaguely implied in the book since it's based on Percy's POV), making her more of a nuanced, sympathtic character than an outright villain (I'm looking at you, Uma Thurman).
Def Grover 😂😂
I felt that using Anabeth's hat was a nice touch to conceal the decapatation for Disney+.
Cool? it was ridiculous, the series didn't have a real conflict, the medusa just walked and didn't even want to show the decapitation, shameful
womp womp @@Leo-ds3rb
@@Leo-ds3rbtroll
@@Leo-ds3rb please tell me that was sarcasm, if not then I think you should watch something else other than a show meant for young teens.
@@Leo-ds3rbthey did it so they didn’t need to look at medusa
1. Percy singing Grover’s song at the end was hilarious
2. Idc what anyone says, I love Lin in the show
3. Grover was so funny
4. Annabeth and Percy were beefing hardcore
question, why is their hate towards Lin? I don't really pay attention to the criticism at all, and the only thing I know about Lin is that he's in Hamilton and in Wish. I just need a clear answer cause I don't get it 😃
Honestly, Lin being here might seem like a miscast but HAVE YOU SEEN THE HAMILTON PROSHOT!?
Spoilers
.
The way Hermes was acting over Luke and the state Alexander was in after Philip’s death? Lin already proved he can play the grieving father FANTASTICALLY, and he’s got enough of a fun uncle vibe to play regular Hermes. He’ll do great, imo. Just give him some time to stretch his legs.
@@Random-pv5fx i think people generally just make fun of lin, thinks it might be a bit funny or weird to have him play Hermes. I disagree with those people though because Lin has proven himself worthy of a role like this
@@Kirferyan yesss as a fan of Hamilton and the Percy books, I think Lin will do amazing
@@user-vs5mi8bk1f that’s so weird cause I honestly never even had a preferred preference for Hermes😃, who ever gets casted, gets casted🤷🏽♀️
I honestly love the telling of Medusa’s story. More modern retellings of the story show Medusa as a victim of sexual assault but the show keeps it more in line with how Poseidon acts in most myths. Sexual assault is Zeus’s main thing, Poseidon is more of the “seduce and then immediately leave once he gets what he wants”. But I do love they still portray her as a victim of the gods
Yeah, there's a trend among survivors of SA to have a Medusa's head tattoo as a symbol of inner strength.
Right, I agree with that hardcore. And it also keeps it more kid friendly for Disney+ 😂 really enjoyed this episode.
I so love the bits of changes.
1. It's better that they immediately know is was Medusa's place, Annabeth is smart, it doesn't make sense that she wouldn't realize it was Medusa's place, with all the statues.
2. That talk at the last part is so well done. The acting and the emotion was on point. It was necessary for their relationship.
I mean.. it's not like medusa is th only 1 in greco-roman mythology who is connected to petrifying things. It could also have been the home of aix, or even of hermes
@@Gradestar10 Yeah, but Annabeth didn't fail to see the name of the place, "Aunty Em's"?
Loved this episode, best one yet!
1. Percy with the oracle was hilarious
2. Annabeth and Percy’s arguments were on point
3. I love Grover
4. Medusa was amazing, but I really want to know what they mean by “Athena said I embarrassed her” I have my own theory but I would like an explanation
5. 🎶CONSENSUS🎶
6. I love Lin in this show and I cannot wait till episode 6 to see more of him (the man is still a bit of a jumpscare)
It goes back to the Greek tale of Medusa and how she was a high priestess to Athena that not only allowed herself to be seduced by Athena's rival but to allow it to happen in a temple dedicated to her.
The episode gives the child friendly version of what Poseidon did. Some sources say it was consensual, some say it wasn't, but most sources agree that Poseidon and Medusa made love in Athena's temple and Athena wasn't a fan of that.
@@cerberus01 In greek mythos Medusa was never a high priestess of anything nor was she human. She was born a gorgon alongside her two sisters.
What you're talking about is the Ovid myth, a roman poet known to have problems with authority. His personal version became popular online and people mistook it as an "original greek myth" when that was never the case
@@phoenixcoffee9343 "all sources" no??? ONE roman myth states she had been taken by Neptune and ended up cursed by Minerva, originally she was born a gorgon.
@@vodkamutini3979 I do like how the creators chose this version though. Medusa today represents this in our society, for some r*pe survivors she's even a symbol of strength and resistence. And since the PJO world reflects how entities are seen in current society, it's nice that they took it in this direction.
They really made the episode better, kid friendly but still Percy Jackson sass. I can't wait for ep. 4 and for them to green light Season 2
Season 2 will be so weird though. Cause this was filmed like 4 years ago lol.
@@Iautocorrect they will make it work
@@Iautocorrectit was filmed about a year and a half ago? It was summer of 2022
I could not stop smiling when I heard Grover singing, genuinely felt perfect for him
I'm really loving the more interesting character dynamics that they have tweeked a bit from the books I think it really adds a lot to their stories. I think the only thing I'm a little sad about is there wasn't as much action this episode. I would have loved to see Annabeth fight a little more with her dagger.
But Grover's little song was SO CUTE and using Annabeth's hat to defeat Medusa was brilliant!
I get the action complaint, but honestly i think im okay with it just because they’re so new to all of this as Demi gods! I wouldn’t expect them to be perfect yet. I think the big big fight scene will be ares
@@cameronsilas they didn't blow up a bus, but they fought the furies. Easing us into the real drama.
Based on the trailers, we will see more dagger action from Annabeth in the next episode.
We’re getting so many Medusa cosplays in 2024. Bring on the tragic snake hair mommy videos!
Man I love this show.
I’m absolutely loving the changes they’re making in the show. It’s all for the better and preserves the feel of the books. It’s great. Do wish for a tab bit more action this episode but is okay
Next episode should be plenty but k think we have enough. We need to develop the relationships foremost
Honestly these episodes are flat and without any action. The books are so much better
At first I was a little disappointed that we weren’t going to get the slow build up of suspense of finding out that it was Medusa, but I like how they added nuance to her character and didn’t just stick to the “this character is an evil woman just because” narrative that is so prevalent in Greek mythology
@@chri371I mean its only been 3 episodes and plus film adaptations of books are almost never good. This one is a pretty good one tbh, prolly the best we can get rn.
@@whistlebane5280 and they have to stretch out a budget over eight 30 to 40 minute episodes. Hopefully there is plenty good action scenes coming up soon
Jessica Parker Kennedy was great Medusa she actually made me feel so bad for her even though I knew she was gonna go evil AF eventually Lol , also why did my dumbass self actually think we were gonna see Olympus at the end of this episode when we are only on episode 3 😂
This episode was literally perfect 🔥, for the first 2 episodes i wasn’t convinced with Leah and Aryan’s acting, it looked like they were nervous (and rightly so), but this episode really proved this trio can act. The humour was great. 🤣
I am genuinely shocked at how perfectly cast and hilarious this show is, it's the funniest show I've seen in a while; Percy's deadpan comedy is killer.
Jessica Parker Kennedy aka Medusa was awesome in The Flash and Black Sails. Grover’s song is also very adorable.
I loved This episode I thought it was pretty good! But omg I was TERRIFIED when it didn’t show the entire prophecy at the same time and for a second was so scared that they we’re going to leave out the “you shall be betrayed by one who calls you friend, and fail to save what matters most in the end” but was so relieved when it happened. Also the way I screamed when they did the impertinent quote I think my neighbors heard me scream 😅. Also Grover sing that song was the most adorable Grover thing ever!
Same, I was so happy when the impertinent quote came up XD
"I am impertinent!" Yes you are, Percy and we love you for that
@@margaretconnor5623 very true! Lol
The gabe thing kind of ruined the tone, I know that he appeared in the book too but the oracle was speaking through him and when gabe started talking it just felt off
Best episode so far! I’m so excited
Fun fact: the idea of Medusa as a sympathetic figure is relatively recent. It was brought about by the poet Ovid, who was exiled from Rome and, as retribution, began writing poems that portrayed the gods as asshats and the mortals as their victims. Hence the tragic tale of Medusa, a priestess of Athena who had sworn to celibacy and was assaulted by Poseidon, and then Athena did the classic victim-blaming.
I have Metamorphoses now, do you think I should read Homer and Virgil first or does it matter?
@@Makaneek5060 Honestly, I prefer reading the Greeks first and the Romans second. But that's just me.
I'm pretty sure there's an even more modern version where Athena actually blesses medusa so that no man can ever come close to her again, i swear i've heard about it before. It's personally my favourite version
I know some people wil lcomplain that it happened too fast, but honestly, it never made sense to me that Annabeth didn't realize immediately that Aunt Em was Medusa. She's been hearing Greek myths her whole life. So I'm glad they made the change here
I mean.. it's not like medusa is th only 1 character in greco-roman mythology to have a connection w/ petrifying things. That could also have been th home of aix, hermes, of a pack of catobleps or th lair of some basilisk n cockatrice 2
The percabeth is already fantastic as hell
The hate for this episode, I've read every single book at least seven times and I loved the hell out of this episode. Medusa does not seem to properly get a lot of love and is needlessly blamed for being a monster. She is a person who was hurt by one god and mistreated by the other. I loved her. Not to mention , in the book, all of the children were very stupid about Ms identity. I loved the twist of them being pursed Alecto and her sister.
I really love this episode, the argument of Annabeth and Percy are on point imo
This show just keeps getting better and better
The thing with Medusa is interesting, considering the most famous version of her story is not Greek. The whole context/backstory of Medusa being a disgraced priestess of Athena and/or an assault victim was made up by the Romans, more specifically Ovid. In the original Greek sources, she was always a monster.
The banter in this one was on point! I loved the depth and care they gave Medusa's story! I always found her performance in the original movies to be good for a vengeful monster but this one really showcased how Medusa's wasn't always that, she was simply a woman who felt betrayed by both of the people she cared about. Amazing episode overall and thank you for your wonderful reaction
I like that Percy is shown to be smart and calculating in this adaptation. in the first series he's easily mistaken as naive and stupid. We only get to his wit in HOO..and while I love the goofy Percy in the pjo series I find HOO Percy to be more compelling
Percy to Annabeth: I chose u because I never imagined that we could be friends
Me screaming at my screen: Percy that your future girlfriend Ur talking about how dare u
This episode was so good. The acting between those three. Soo good!!
this is my way of watching the episode without having disney+ or Hulu
Lowkey pointless since 20-30 min of the episode is cut out😭
absolutely loving this show! Read the first book when I was 12 and have waited 13 years for this amazing adaptation, literally over half my life. Also when I look at your chair I get vibes for the Venom suit from Spider-Man 3 and I can't unsee it
Oh my gosh, I’ve been falling in love with this series lately!! I love all of the characters so far, Percy is sassier than I remembered, Anabeth being so calm and witty and Grover, oh Grover is just a ray of sunshine☀️For this episode, Medusa is what I imagine she would be like, elegant and yet deadly💕🐍
My fave part was 100% the fact lin is already in the show. Like I saw him in the trailer and practically died like omg I've watched hamilton abt 5 times now and I still fan girl over the guy🤣 best show ever
Im pretty sure I heard an avalanche nearby when percy started singing
/s
I understood this reference
The Thalia disrespect in this episode is real
You’re my favorite person to watch the reactions for this series after I watch it!
Man, Thalia was catching all those strays this episode.
She sitting there, in her piney glory, like, "What the fuck did *I* do??" 😂
Great episode!! Love seeing these reactions!!
absolutely loved this episode!!!
💗This is my favorite episode. I saw it 3 times, 2 in Spanish because I'm from Argentina and we speak this language and 1 in English. I cried at minute 13:37 as the cast manages to convey the feelings of their respective characters, it is wonderful
THIS VIDEO’S THE REASON I KNEW THE EPISODE WAS OUT THANK YOU XD
Such a great episode!!! this show is so awesome!❤ 🥹
Happy birthday Cam, love your videos❤
goated episode
Respect and love to the page
what a medusa performance !!!
Such a great episode💙🩵
Medusa performance was really good it made me feel for her even more, even though we know it’s close to the actual mythological story. I do wish we had a little more action which would have made the episode about an hour but maybe that’s how it happened in the books? Idk I never read them so idk but I have heard the comparison at the museum
It not at all close to the mythos?? She was never human????
@@vodkamutini3979You realise there's no one single cannon myth right? Yes this version of the story was made way later but what else is mythology then just a story made up by someone?
Medusa. That's it. She is great!
I love watching the episodes again with you. You're my favorite reactor for this series.
The oracle having gabe speak was kinda weird to me tbh. I’m interested to know why they went with that creative decision. I loved Annaberh saying “sorry you feel that way” 😭
Gabe speaking is actually something that happens with the books but even then it’s still confusing
@@Kylie_h yeah in the books its Gabe and his poker buddies.
The oracle using gabe is exactly how it happens in the books!
it happened in the books. the movie just completely got rid of everything
No wayyy you guys i completely forgot that then because I reread the books earlier this year 💀 my bad y’all thank you
I like the change.
I'm obsessed with Medusa oh my gods 😍😍😍
2:58:Canadian. Reminds me of the cannibal giants in the next book,and a certain Hero of Olympus.
Using the hat 🎩 was smart
You know, that Medusa sequence looks just like the one in the 1981 Clash of the Titans movie. I think that’s a little nod to it.
Persy said the name of Annabeth so spontaneous it was I would say both a strategic choice but also quite in the romantic sense even if it's early enough for that because he said with so much conviction and then given what the oracle said of course he chose her but it's the fact that he put so much energy he didn't even wait for Chiron to finish speaking in fact and then he could have chosen to say Grover's name first since it's Grover that he accompanies until now but in fact no he said the name of a girl who has known like two episodes so for me, there is clearly romance
I'm still loving it but they really changes Grover
Like I cant imagine this actor balling snot dripping down his face like a child lol
Still liking it tho
The changes they've made have improved the story for television and without RR working on it they definitely would have messed it up
Only bad thing is we have to wait another 4 years and a month for the rest of the series xD
Lin at the end fs
amazing
1) I freaked out when I found out that Medusa was Miss Nora West Allen herself🤗⚡️
2) Medusa was giving me Lady D from RE vibes. Anyone else??
Funniest episode so far
1. Jessica Parker Kennedy as Medusa? *Chef's kiss*
2. In my opinion, this Medusa is leagues better than movie Medusa.
When I watch this episode at the end, I was like That chin Looks like Lin-Manuel WHAT THE F**K WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE !!!! I
Where can I watch this episode except for Disney and Hulu
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
YES
My only question after this episode is that they didn't grab their bags when they fled the train and while they may backtrack, there is kind of something important in there that none of them notice and its supposed to be he had it with him the whole time.
If you mean the lightening bolt, percy gets that in a backpack from Ares later on.
everyone is coming for thalia's neck this episode😭
The only thing I didn’t like in this episode is the bus fight. In the books it was such an action packed sequence and here it was honestly very anticlimactic.
My thoughts exactly
It’s prolly due with the budget. Tbh, I forgot how the scene went in the book anyway. Wasn’t one of my favorites. So many more scenes I want to see
i loved it smsmmsm
That's my favorite épisode i love medusa
When Percy said he would trust Medusa and told Annabeth and Grover to do whatever and then Grover chose to go with Percy, that already explained whose side Grover was on lol sorry annabeth 😂 (well i get it he’s hungry okay!)
Ep 3 was cool but I wish there were more action scenes than talking, the book does a better job of how they found medusa's place, how they were fooled by her and how they defeated her. also the way percy sends medusa's head to olympus feels more savage and impertinent in the books. (Its more like percy in a way).
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don’t give me wrong I love seeing Lin-Manuel Miranda. I thought if he was going to be in this series, he would definitely be Apollo.
I get it because of the musical theatre aspect but he doesn't give Apollo vibes. That guy is supposed to look like young and hot. Lin feels much more right for Hermes
For Medusa's snakes, I wanted them to look more like 2010's Clash of the Titans Medusa's snakes.
More longer and more terrifying if they spread out and hissed when she uses the stare
Do we know/have any guesses about why **that** was how the oracle chose to
appear to Percy? Is there anything I'm not realizing? Because I was confused...
it happened that way in the books as well, but with said person and his buddies
@@brendanparker4605 Oh my gods, I had completely forgotten! That's so smelly!
15:30 What is the name of this song?
This episode highlights why i think it was a bad idea to alter Gabe from truely horrible, to a bit of a jerk. The gods can be monsters, what Poseiden did to Medusa was monsteous, what Athena did was even worse. But for a demigod? Well they know Medusa the gorgon, she gets slayed by heroes, thats the point, thats who she is, its easy to hear her tell her story and say "youre lying"
What Poseiden did to Sally Jackson is monstrous. He broke the pact with no thought for anyone but himself and then abandoned her with a young baby. Sally suffered through Gabe and that relationship to protect Percy whilst Poseiden did nothing. He called her a "queen amongst women" to Percy and did nothing to help her. The gods can be monsters and Percy understanding that through Sally is the only thing that could make him 100% believe and understand it.
This is my least favorite episode, but still a good one! Loving the show so far!
Really? This was my favorite. Funny how ppl can different opinions lol. Love the show so far
@Michganfanatic yes! I think they're rushing the fight scenes! When we are getting excited for the "battle" it ends so fast! I feel like it doesn't have a climax.
I really enjoy the show, I think they could have done 50 min/1 hour episodes.
@@Michganfanatic doesn't have any climax. It was so flat. U could not tell the difference between an "action scene" and a normal one lol
I thought the books described Medusa to be wearing middle eastern veiling, that covered everything but her hands. I also thought the food that she fed Percy and Grover is supposed to make them hazy and stop them from thinking for themselves. In the books, they didn't know that Medusa was really Medusa until she tried to kill them. In the series, they knew from the beginning.
She’s pretending she hasn’t seen it already even though she has
I bet this was recorded the first time she watched it, when she got it early, and she just didn't upload it until now
Within this recording, she hasn't. Remember, she has a screener for the 1st 4 episodes.
Every content creator with remote access to press episodes, is going to record their reactions at that moment
I see what they were trying to do, but I unfortunately have really mixed feelings about this episode. I understand deviating from the books a bit, but this episode was really NOTHING like the books? What was the whole discussion with Alecto and Medusa? What was the whole “Percy choosing annabeth because he can never see them being friends” dynamic? The gnome emporium wasn’t anything like I imagined (why was Alecto there??), and the interaction/fight with Medusa was completely different and felt a little bit cheesy to me. I’m honestly left feeling really confused, because this scene was as book inaccurate as the movies and this was supposed to be a “book accurate” adaptation. I’m .. hoping that they don’t continue to stray from the books like this because this episode definitely fell flat for me :/
To each their own and that's ok. It's as book accurate as I imagine it as an adaption 1st and foremost.
Not everything is 1 to 1. Changes are made that still will make sense like in the books
i like it. i think they had alecto there because they needed some reason for staying since they made the kids know that it was medusa which also makes sense because they are smart especially annabeth she definetly would have figured it out. and i think the percy choosing annabeth because he cant see them being friends adds more to their relationship and will show how much it changes over time
Medusa was so mysterious and charming, with her deceptively kind and soothing voice. Loved her.
I don't mind the changes. I like the book version more, but it's okay.
My only problem is, I'm not enjoying Annabeth in this. I try, and the actress is beautiful, but her acting weirds me out. I don't want to be too demanding, considering she's a child and all, but I hope they give her at least one or two emotional scenes to showcase her acting spectrum a little bit.
Keep in mind, at this point in the book Annabeth was still pretty closed off. She doesn't really open up to Percy for real until the ride to Vegas
@@fashionablechangeling1988 Yeah, I know. I just don't connect with how Leah Jeffries portraits Annabeth in this adaptation, and it's not just about lack of emotion. Her acting is not for my taste, I guess.
@@alexie5201You just said it was about emotion in your original post? But, to each their own.
@@ricky7321 I'd like to see more diverse acting, that is what I meant.
Anyway, I haven't seen people complaining about Annabeth, which means she's doing as well as can be expected.
Unfortunately I am not convinced yet :( 6/10 from me
I can’t stand this Annabeth. Maybe I’m wrong for it idk lol. She irkes me. I remember as bad as both movies were I really liked Clarisse in the Sea of Monsters movie, and Annabeth in both movies way better. He picked the wrong actress. Both Grover and Percy are great honestly though!
I have some mixed feelings. I think the series is not what I thought it was going to be. What I thought it was going to be was an exact copy of the book which I was rlly hoping for. This version seems more fantasy and little kiddish but it still isn’t bad. My main issues are Chiron wasn’t talked to enough and annabeth needs to like Luke that’s pretty much the whole point of the first series besides that it’s alright I guess I just wish it was excalty like the book
why would u want an exact copy? lameeee also its supposed to be kiddish there 12! and u never know annabeth might still like luke they just didnt show it when they were leaving camp
well it cant be eaxactly like the book because this is a show and writing is much different than producing. also you need to realize that the book is infact a kids/teens book so its not going to be all action all the time. the show is also being shown on disney channel where any age (mainly kids) will be watching so it does have to be age appropriate. I do want to know which parts you where more kiddish and fantasy (even though this is a fantasy book/show). also i do wish we saw more of annabeth liking luke aswell.
@@zoeyneish no they aren't doing that luke/annabeth thing, Luke said annabeth is his little sister, and the show is focusing more on percabeth in the beginning rather than annabeth having a crush on luke in the beginning
I understand what youre saying, but i almost feel like its a little ignant for anyone to expect a tit-for-tat adaptation of any book to movie/tv series. If you want an exact version of the book, why not just re-read the book? Again, no disrespect. Ive just gotten tired of people saying they wanted a 100% book accurate adaptation. That sort of thing is basically impossible no matter how you spin it
I guess you haven't been looking at interviews, 1. they can't make it EXACTLY like the book, that's just not possible because of runtime/money/production and it would be boring if they made it exactly like it. 2. They are focusing more on percabeth that's why they made Luke and Annabeth more like siblings 3. they are 12 ofc their going to act like children
what a terrible reaction vid great job managing to say absolutely nothing in this entire 16 min video🎉
