its not there
Says Full length video is unavailable fyi.
"Man, Grover got old, how long have we been here?" Has to be the most Percy line ever.
like he didn't even question that he changed race........is honestly very Percy
@@Ismaring007sh I didn’t notice that lol
"not to change the subject but...im gonna" COMEDIANS ARE JOBLESS
Percy also mistook Blackjack for a mare the first time he saw him in the books, so the series is on-point with how Percy would view things@@Ismaring007
Whoever said they think the lightning theft is just about Zeus misplacing the master bolt like one would a TV remote... thank you. I cackled
This is more thor's stuff, losing ur magical electric weapon through carelessness
@@Gradestar10 to be fair, he doesn’t misplace it often, people just love stealing it 😭
@@phoebusapollo8365 as of 'th sword of summer', mjolnir has been lost 3 times, but in th 'hammer of thor', jack states that mjolnir is alw getting misplaced
I keep on forgetting thor is actually from a mythology and not marvel
fun fact: in the book, grover was also playing a VR game, but it was a hunting game, only wild animals in the game were swapped with humans LMAO. he got really really into it at one point
Omggg memories I always wanted that game
I’m surprised it was still a VR game. I don’t remember that.
I'm really hoping we get full five seasons to cover the whole series, Percy Jackson is just so awesome!
We need the full five seasons of PJO, more 5 of Heroes of Olympus, 5 of Apollo series and then 10 more for the spin-offs lmao
And then another series to finish the second series of books, and then a third series to finish the story arc and background characters, and then....
I believe Rick Riordan said a season per book is the plan. That's of course if disney doesn't cancel it :(
@@FelipeCRC I would settle for just PJO and HOO tbh but the more we get the better
an animated series would be the way to go.
12:52 Left side: Discussions of all the different eras of cars and its implications
Right side: Preferences on how to park
There's an almost imperceptible Easter egg in this episode for the book readers. (It's spoilers for people who haven't read the book.) It's in the scene where Grover is talking to the other satyr.
"Bianca! BIANCA!"
@@gardenagnostic4138 Yep. That's the one!
@@Gestrid who's Bianca?
I missed this @@gardenagnostic4138
I hadn't even noticed before this comment, but that's awesome.
I think Percy dreamed in his old principal’s office because it was the last place where he felt both powerlessness from an authority and betrayal (When Grover say that Percy push Nancy on purpose).
I was one of those kids who grew up with these books. Like every single one to even when they were covering a character like Jason Grace and Piper in the Lost Heroes of Olympus. Truth be told I don't remember a single thing from them, but as I watch this show, the more I do like how it straight up is a kids show for the fans of the books. I am really hoping it progresses more to where it can get a Harry Potter like following and we get more seasons covering the other books.
This
I'm in a similar field, it's been so long since I read the books and sequel books.
I however do remember a lot big things and a lot of niche things but not the things you'd think you'd remember or should remember.
I agree, but no Harry Potter though. JK Rowling doesn't deserve to have anything more than what she already got. Rock Riordan is the true based king of YA novels, he is the one that deserves all the laurels (pun very much intended)
@@NankitaBR lol I guess you get what I mean in the sense that Harry Potter is a franchise for young people that really took ahold of them because of the books. Take her out of the conversation the IP still means a lot to people.
Really disappointed Percy didn't interact with the zebra. I didn't even notice the zebra until someone pointed it out, it's on the screen for like 2 seconds.
As a book reader, I was honestly so shocked when they mentioned Luke's mom May because it's very early in the story. But it does give non-readers the information that some humans have the ability to see through the Mist, which we talked about in a previous episode.
In The Lightning Thief, the trio uses a spray gun at a car wash to make a rainbow. In the sequel series, Heroes of Olympus, someone uses a prism to make a rainbow. So basically, all you need is a rainbow and any valuable object (golden drachmas, diamonds, etc) to make a video call.
The 1st time Percy calls her "Wise Girl", I was waiting to hear it!
All I'm gonna say is that there is something bigger going on, the war is only the beginning.
I do believe that is The Voice. In his own dreams he's the principal of Yancy for some weird reason.
Ares said "Hermes hangs out " at the Casino last episode. I love Lin-Manuel Miranda, he's awesome as Hermes! It's interesting that he exists beyond "space and time", he doesn't have that in the book but teleportation. And yes, Hermes dad is Zeus.
Overall, as a book reader, I think it's an okay episode. I think it's entertaining enough if I forget about the book. This is my least favorite of the season so far.
PS: Don't know how the TV show is gonna handle this so... Based on the book, all demigods have Superhuman abilities: strength, speed, agility, stamina, durability, senses and reflexes. And based on who their godly parents are, they get more abilities like controlling water.
Also (possible spoiler) people in the casino don't age.
You could argue that all the gods exist outside space and time with how they are connected to western civilization.
not my favourite episode is an understatement. i was frankly disappointed. like ok, theres nothing inherently wrong with it on a technical or storytelling perspective. BUT, as a book reader this was SO UNDERWHELMING. i liked hermes's inclusion and how that draws in Luke's arc, but it took away from what the casino side quest was supposed to be about. the vibes for the casino just weren't there. the compulsion the characters felt for wanting to stay just wasn't there. percabeth, especially annabeth, were way too aware and conscious of the situation. i absolutely hated the fact that they just ended the deadline to the solstice. the tension we got in the books of going from (0) oh theres enough days to get this done to (100) shit we've been here daysss and now theres just one evening left to complete the quest was what made that part interesting. it was also very reminiscent of the fact that us adhd folks procrastinate all tasks until 5 minutes from deadline and then get it done to perfection. here, the deadlines already passed, the stakes are high but theres no tension to tag along with it.
and to your point of the zebra (I'll be honest i dont remember that part from the books its been a while) the episode is literally titled after the zebra why did they not include that!!!!
honestly, if it wasnt for the "wise girl" "old married couple" and "bianca!" parts, this episode would rank the lowest (idk which ep holds that rank currently tbh)
I rewatched the episode and I agree. I'm torn because I want this to be a good episode, and there are really good stuff they included like the whole conversation with Hermes, Percabeth moments, May, Percy driving the taxi (absolutely hilarious), even Grover playing a VR game.
But on the other hand, as a book reader, I'm not happy with the writers. No interaction with the zebra, no hotel room scene, barely saw the arcade (that part really bothers me as we spent a lot of time there in the book). Maybe it's just me, but I thought Hermes would help them, I thought he didn't want a war.
Also, I don't understand why they removed the deadline. It is interesting but I don't know if I like this change or not.
I guess we'll see after the last 2 episodes. @@lilbrownbear
@@EverShy_ yeah... most of the stuff i/you mentioned im willing to overlook but the deadline thing really bothers me. im sure they're gonna work the story just fine up ahead but it really kinda cheapened the stakes for me idk
@@lilbrownbear There's been an underlying feeling that Rick Riordan's trying to tell a slightly different story than from the books, and this is the episode where it takes a massive step further. Also dunno what you mean about killing tension, instead of racing to complete the quest before the Solstice it's now racing to complete the quest before Zeus and Poseidon finish gathering their armies and fight each other. Still tension. The fact that the show is surprising book readers is a good thing imo.
This show has really been healing my inner child. Percy Jackson and it's fandom got me through my teen years. I met life-long friends through these books. The movies came out and felt like a betrayal, this tv show is bringing me such joy.
I wonder if janci heard the easter
Egg of certain siblings in this episode😂
"With what? Your feet?"
If you go back to the part where you were talking over the dialogue, you'll catch her saying she used the cap
Also as she exits the room, you see her pull out the cap. I saw that as I was watching and was like, "huh I wonder why she's gonna go invisible" and then got up and made some food and completely forgot about it until I came back and she revealed she'd stolen his keys 💀
I really liked this episode and how there's that almost meeting between Percy and Poseidon. Poseidon's message was my favorite part as well as Hermes/poseidon explaining how hard it is to be powerless to help your child as a god.
A comment to say hi to the 70% of book readers watching these reactions 💙
love the little sneak peek on the "JESUS WEPT!!!"😁
STOP SAYING "JESUS WEPT"!
I'm happy their added the Iris messages, it looks so cool on screen
Yeah, I was looking forward to it too! It's too bad they don't show it with the hose like in the book, I was looking forward to how cool that would look, but it's ok, maybe they'll throw it in one day
I love you guys for referencing Community 😂 Dean Pelton would've been trapped in that casino playing VR games for eternity
So glad you guys powered through to catch up
As you mentioned how good the casting was for Younger Percy, the kid actor’s actually not as much of a lookalike as you think. He’s said on his Instagram that they CG Walker Scobell’s face onto his and sort of blend the two together. I’m guessing it’s similar to what they do on Star Wars whenever Young Luke shows up and they have to put a deepfaked Mark Hamill onto another actor.
Wow I couldn’t tell!! That’s so good!!
BOOK SPOILERS
32:03 I like how Aaron’s idea is the closest to what actually happens in the book, and Janci says in response “these theories are getting more and more ridiculous”
God, I really like Janci! She has such a nice and bubbly presence :) would love to see her in more reactions :D
This episode was a little trippy for me and it went by super fast. 🔥
Yeah I wish it was a 40 min ep not a 33 min one and we got more do the hotel but it’s fine still
Eric having an existential crisis about nachos... "I've been wrong my whole life!"
LOL JANCY your FLAWLESS poker face when one of the guys literally predicted the plot of the series... I laughed fully out loud and did a rewind to rewatch that lol, Oscar nom for you girl ZERO facial reaction 👏👏👏
The community reference for an episode that is months away from youtube lol
12:50 in the episode you can hear "bianca" called out ❤
I thought it was 12:30
@@roguevirgo902 it is! I just checked thanks to you. Oh my... little dark boi
I was today years old when I realized the mirror of erised was desire backwards 🤦♀😆
My husband almost peed laughing when Eric said “that’s a lie! I’d NEVER give anybody my sausage.” 😂😂
22:30 in the books, the game Grover is playing is a hunting game, but reversed, where the animals go hunting people 😅🤣 Just an interesting fact, idk if Janci mentions it later on 😅
Janci’s so smart
She's also read the books
She’s forgotten a lot of it from what I’ve seen
The National Building Museum in DC (as a 20 year resident of the area, that was my favorite) had an exhibit once about the evolution of parking garages. I was reminded of it when y'all talked about getting lost in one.
I think it's the same person/entity in Percy's dream this episode as the previous dreams. It's just that now they appear as someone familiar, in a familiar environment. Maybe that's because now Percy infiltrated their mind, whereas before they were the ones who infiltrated Percy's dreams.
Yeah, that's Kronos, he's the true mastermind behind all of this. In the book, the dreams all take place at the edge of Tartarus with Kronos' voice coming from it while the Lightning Thief is invisible to Percy.
This show just keeps getting better and better! As a fan of Greek mythology I love how many deep cuts to the lore are part of the main story.
Also I’d love to see The Odessey adapted to live action one day.
I’m loving this show so far. I have some complaints for sure, but it feels like it’ll only get better as it goes on. I’ve never read the books, but I love the potential this has.
Oh yeah it's great!!!
Cool episode,I like that we got mor information about Luke and Hermes's reliationship and that last scene was great :)
VEGAS BABY HELL YEAH
Wow RUclips notifications actually working, that's a new one.
The pearls are obviously a suppository, guys 😅
final episode for a bit (gotta jump on discordy stuff) but ill be back!~
Janci scanning the background for any Italian kids
If there was any, she could've really spotted them I guess. I've never noticed the cars were from different eras until I heard her pointing it out.
15:35 Pearls, do in fact, _not_ shatter lol. They're not crystals. And it's difficult to crack them with just your own body strength. But they are prone to scratches and impurities and require delicate care, no airtight places since they need moisture - which the lack of is what can crack it.
It's how it worked it worked in the book version.
@@WarGrowlmon18 Well yeah , but he stated it like a fact so I assumed he was talking abt real pearls.
Having an existential crisis over nachos… 😂
Casino note. Hermes invented is also the patron of gamblers. Hermes covers a lot.
Hermes is the patron of
-Thieves
-Travellers
-Athletes
He's also the god of commerce, trade, hospitality, trickery, language and writing, astrology, astronomy, sleep, sports, and was a protector of livestock (cattle and sheep).
The voice talking to the supposed lightning thief is in the same place where percy was last betrayed by a friend
I really like the discussion about the demi-gods
Considering how well this show has been doing, I’m still baffled how His Dark Materials didn’t do well outside of the U.K.
Have you ever heard of walking nachos? it's chips with nacho toppings in a chip bag. They used to serve them in my school cafeteria. That must be what Augustus is eating.
Nice! I heard them called walking tacos! Same thing basically but with Fridos
BIANCA!!!!!!!!!!
Calvin saying “it was better when it was the book” to mock us book lovers but you know what (and i say this as an adaptation hater), this is a good one. I can’t even complain about the change so far, they all seem pretty well justified to me.
Man these episodes are way too short...And this is not a Percy Jackson issue, this is a D+ issue, like do they not understand that the less episodes your series/season has, the longer the episodes should be, like dude this episode was literally 28 minutes, not even breaking 30mins, like you want to do 6-10 episodes hell 6-8 cuz they don’t even do 10, you want to do 6-8 episodes then should be 45-50min-1 hour episodes, and actually that runtime without the credits and shit😂, like man even network show that have like 20 episodes give you 40 minute episodes, and you’re out here giving an 8 episode season and having one of the episodes be 28 mins, nah Disney gtfo😂
For 15 million an episode, each episode should be 50-70 minutes long and the lighting should be better.
I'm not surprised there are so many book readers watching your reaction. Just because they've read the books doesn't mean they don't still enjoy seeing your reactions and joining in on the conversation sans spoilers. I haven't read the books (yet). I was introduced to Percy via the movies, and I thought the movies were good. I was bummed to hear they wouldn't make the third installment. Then, I learned about how the author and books fans were so disrespected. I can understand why they're upset. When I heard a tv series was in the works, and the author was directly involved, I was curious. And the more I learn about how off the movies were, the more I'm rooting for the show to do well. The challenge has been and will continue to be how to translate the book format to tv format. The author himself acknowledged this is a struggle. This week, I was left a little disappointed, it felt like we took a step back. It could have benefited from some additional scenes, in my opinion. They could have utilised Lin Manuel more. They left Percy with the job of explaining what was happening to them at the Lotus casino and I get the book is from his perspective/thoughts, but I don't feel it worked as well as it could have. Lin Manuel being such a larger than life character, you could have added a few extra scenes of him manipulating time. It would've added to the disorientation of being in the casino and he could've ultimately revealed that time works differently there, vs just tapping his watch and Percy reacting abruptly and then it been explained to us by him afterwards. I also didn't get why Grovers uncle runs away from Percy and Annabeth when they're trying to question him. I get he's forgotten who he is and all, but that's a weird angle to play. It makes him look guilty or as if he's switched sides and he hasn't. He's a victim just like them. And then he's forgotten about. It would've been nice if Grover said he'd come back for him one day. Idk. Some things feel like head scratchers so until I read the books, I don't know exactly what the issue is, but i absolutely don't blame the actors. Children or not, they are doing an amazing job with what they're being given.
The books handle the reveal of the time dilation a lot better, so don’t worry abt that
That wasn’t Grover’s uncle, just a friend who knows Grover’s family, he’s also just jittery and ran away from Grover too, so it’s not a one time thing he did
It did leave a lot out and I was also disappointed with this episode, I feel like it has to do a lot with the run time which is unfortunate. The show has a decent budget too, so I don’t understand why it has to be so short
Lin-Manuel has a sing-song voice and a strong presence on screen. Please watch His Dark Materials, he was awesome in that too.
Actor's kids promoting their parents to take roles..also happened to Matthew Lillard for fnaf movie
Janci so smart!
i am so annoyed at disney for making the episodes so short. i wanted episodes of 1 hour minimum
💙
Im loving the show, but just gonna say it, the Lotus scene was better in the movie.
SAME like so far i love the show its a great adaptation but the casino scenes were so much grander, and the stakes of losing the time for their quest felt greater in the movie.
The problem is that episodes are too short. They are fastlining everything. I hope season 2 will be different.
I feel incredibly called out about the I read the books comment, because yes it's true
Fun Fact: Stuart Townsend was originally cast as Aragorn.
A few minor corrections/clarifications (NO SPOILERS):
- Iris Messages: They need a rainbow to make an Iris Message (Annabeth calls her the Goddess of Rainbows here) not specifically water. Here they used a prism and the sun. In the book they used a spray/mist of water and the sun. Either works as long as it makes a rainbow to call to Iris.
- Ares said the truck was going to the Lotus Casino in Vegas and that Hermes hangs out there. So, while he didn't warn them about the casino, he did send them directly to Hermes.
- They didn't want to eat the lotus flowers because of the story of the lotus-eaters (not Persephone's story, though the outcome has some similarities). Grover references The Odyssey which talks about the lotus flower's impact on the eater's mind/memories and desire to stay.
- Augustus does say, "nacho chips" not just "nachos," so Eric was sort of right while also being...wrong? lol
In terms of powers (vaguely), like Janci pointed out in ep. 2, when Luke was taking Percy around camp to see what he was good at, they were also sort of testing him to see if he have any innate talents from his godly parent. If you're really good at an obvious talent (like archery for Apollo or blacksmithing for Hephaestus) then they can have a better idea of who your godly parent likely is (still not guaranteed which is why they wait for an official claiming). So, there are some traits that are often passed down from god to demigod (not always the same one, like one kid of Apollo might be more musically inclined while another kid of Apollo might be better at archery), but also some of the powers don't really translate as obviously as sea/water powers do (like wisdom, music, harvesting, etc.).
Interestingly, in the book, Percy notes that the only activity he excelled at during his activities tour was canoeing. But his father being Poseidon was sort of unthinkable considering the pact the Big Three made and how angry Zeus would be even though Zeus already broke the pact by having Thalia. As a demigod, you also didn't want to indirectly accuse a god of breaking their oaths by suggesting they had a forbidden child. Gods don't really like that, and you don't really want a god as an enemy.
Love that you guys are reacting to this show even though it's geared a little younger and you don't have a connection to the books. Also, Janci, you're doing a great job as the person at the table who already knows what's going to happen!
I believe you mean they were sent to a lovely beach upstate at 13:59.
I personally think the movie portrayed the lotus casino better than this show did but I think it ultimately comes down to needing to wrap up the show as it nears the finale
how did the movie do it better if it didn’t follow the original source at all … all they did was get high and dance to poker face like oml
@@user-gg1on7xc6v this show didn’t follow the original source at all either aside from the lotus being in the air instead of in cookies. In the movie the group still get distracted having fun unaware of the lotus eaters trap until Percy starts to wake up and realize people inside are from different time periods. In the show they walk in already aware of the trap and don’t actually get distracted at all.
@@user-gg1on7xc6vyou know the show doesn’t do that either right lmao the cope
Any form of rainbow can be used as an iris message that misty spray water couls be considered a spoiler
full length says video unavailable, anyone else have this problem?
JANCI IS SO SMART!
4 pearls! Does this mean Grover isn't going to have to stay behind and sleep with Persephone? Thank god because that was effed up in the movie.
the fact that the movie wasn't even just innaccurate to the book, but mythology overall as well
why was Persephone in the underworld during summer?
@@bluflavouredpudding in th 5th book she n her mom remain in th underworld w/ hades, even tho it's summer, to protect themselves frm th xfire of th surface clash btw th other gods n kronus n typhoon. Even tho not much of it is explicitly explained in th film it's probably for th same reason, given that at that moment a war was hb to break out btw zeus n poseidon that would almost certainly have destroyed th world. It's called sense of self-preservation. Btw, even riordan's books on certain greek stuff aren't exactly mythologically accurate, n that alrdy frm th 1st book
@@Gradestar10 i don't think the movie was thinking about that, as it didn't think most things through, it was probably just an excuse to have Rosario Dawson be hot
Oh god that was just unique to the movie!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 In the books, Percy makes the difficult choice not to save Sally, but Hades later releases her himself once the Helm of Darkness is returned and Percy is exonerated.
This weeks poll: do nachos have to have cheese?
The show isn't book accurate so we still need to watch it. Last episode changed the ride of love scene. We should have seen thousands of gold spiders and should have had ares mocking them as it was streamed for all olympus to see
"sometimes thats what parenting is. its very hard for a god to feel powerless, i guess we're all just doing the best we can." meanwhile poseidon, the person who gave that advice, is waiting at santa monica and hermes is wasting their time to reach him. Love that, he's such a mess
In Las Vegas, it is very illegal for casino owners to gamble in their own establishment. Same usually goes for their employees as well. It's kinda like insider trading. There's too many ways an owner could abuse their power over the games to give themselves an advantage.
Honestly, we thought this episode was a bit weak. This show is very good for those who have read the book, but not great for those who haven't. The pacing is slow with a few episodes having little point to the overall story.
The pacing is super weird
I love the episode I just feel they need 45 minutes in ep and not 30
I hate how short each episodes is
I still don't know if this or poker face was better.
Also can grover be affected by the mist as a satyr?
Yes, in th books it's said that if particularly thick/powerful th mist can also have an effect on mythological creatures 2
20:08 apologies to Matt Damon we ran out of time
What ?
@@TessaxMusic95 jimmy kimmel joke
"Why are you watching [if you read the books]?! You already know how it goes!"
Not really, anyone who says this is a faithful adaptation is either lying or doesn't know what the word "faithful" means. The kids and the acting and the sets are great -the script leaves A LOT to be desired.
If you mean by adapting the themes and heart of the story and characters then yeah I’d say it’s a good adaptation. If you mean a scene for scene and word for adaption then no.
@@islasullivan3463 No, you don't need it scene for scene, but you can't cut shit like the heart-to-heart in the zoo truck or Annabeth's obsession with architecture or add Hermes supposedly "willing to do anything to win back Luke" and still have something that honors the book. Or Annabeth being stupid enough to 1) Try to pick the pocket of THE GOD OF PICKPOCKETERS and 2) THINK SHE SUCCEEDED.
The stuff with Grover was great. A+. Love them emphasizing the Pan stuff this early.
This spoiler for book readers it is in the back ground you can here a name been called I watched interview wit the people does said there is a person they we will meet later on.
Yeah it's 12 and a half minutes in as Grover and Augustus are discussing Pan.
Wow, this series has become a lot different from the books. The only part I really didn't like was the car driving thing. Driving an automatic isn't as difficult as they were making it out to be. There have been 5-year-olds caught driving their parents' cars around the block. Percy couldn't even point the car in the right direction. The rest of the changes, I don't mind. The driving was a bit much for me.
Also percys dreams aren't always literal don't get too caught up on the physical identity of the man speaking. just the words being said and the implications.
I've read the books like more than 10 years ago and I totally forgot everything in there. It's also been like 10 years since watching movies for the last time. I remember something but I'm not sure from which book the scene is (mostly I remember things happening from later books) and after watching the series some memories have been unlocked and now I think I know who stole it but am not sure. From the beginning I thought it was Grover, because I remember that I hated him in the movies for some reason. But I love him in the series and I don't want him to be a thief. And I don't think it's him anymore.
Gonna start reading the books again next week after the season's finale. I want to be surprised and feeling the mystery while I can, so definitely didn't want to read them again before the show or during. Also gonna to rewatch the movies, because it's so weird to see photos of Nathan Fillion and Pierce Brosnan in PJO after watching the series. I hope you guys will react to the movies after this season.
So note.... They sent Medusas head to the gods with her cap on that make her invisable.... So how the F did she turn invisable here to snatch his keys??
They didn't send the head with the hat. Grover gave a whole speech on why they couldn't send the hat. The head wasn't invisible when they sent it.
@@zoejnobaptiste3332 Ahhhh okey totaly missed that then. I felt that I must have missed something since no one reacted to it
@@Afropalmen Yeah Percy decided not to send it since Grover said it was the only gift Annabeth had from her Mom but I guess it was kind of quick so it could be missed.
She took the cap back before they sent it.
@@zoejnobaptiste3332Athena sucks. When she gets angry at Annabeth, she takes the cap's power away from her and only returns it when the world is at stake. In The Chalice of the Gods, Percy realizes that the thing is actually uncomfortable to use and it's revealed that its powers are limited: it doesn't work on the gods for example, at most making Percy seem uninteresting to them. It also didn't work on Zeus' kitchen staff. It definitely didn't work on Athena herself, but luckily for Percy, she decided to cover for him instead of exposing Percy's presence to Zeus.
full reaction ? not workin
You know, it would have been cool if they could've given us a glimpse of two future characters this episode. I think they would've been in the area. Of course, its probably too early for them to have even been cast yet. Maybe they did it and I missed it.
It’s very quick (I don’t think I would have noticed it unless it was pointed out to me) but minor spoilers.
When Grover is talking to Augustus in front of the vr gaming place, in the background you can hear Nico yelling “Bianca! Bianca!”
I definitely heard someone shouting Bianca, when we pan to Grover playing VR. The few seconds you just see Grover playing VR before Percy barges in, there is definitely Bianca being shouted in background
the half blood dont necessary have "active" powers like Percy but they inherit traits and abilities from their god parents like Annabeth being wise and rational, Clarisse as a daughter of Ares would be a natural fighter the Hepshaetus kids are excellent smiths etc. children of the big three are more powerful than the rest which is why they decided not to have more of them. Percy have some water manipulation powers it stands to reason that Thalia before the whole tree had some air and/or lighting powers.
Oh she did. And you're right: the children of Athena's powers are mostly increased intelligence. Ares get battle and strategy related powers and maybe increased strength. Frank Zhang, the son of Ares' Roman aspect Mars, is a Shapeshifter, but that power actually comes from him also being a descendant of Poseidon: Poseidon had granted that power to his grandson, Frank's ancestor. Children of Hephaestus are good at forging and usually are immune to fire to some degree. Leo Valdez in the later books is pyrokinetic, but that's a very rare power for children of Hephaestus. Some children of Aphrodite have the power of Charmspeak, a sort of Siren's song type hypnotism. Apollo's kids are the most diverse with healing, music, and archery powers being the most common. Will Solace in the later books is able to make himself glow and even weaponize it to an extent.
Children of the Big Three are the most powerful with the most diverse powers, and even amongst the ones seen in the series, Percy is depicted as the most powerful of them all. Thalia has lightning and air related powers, but she seems to rely mostly on her fighting skills. She's also, ironically, afraid of heights. Her brother Jason Grace has similar abilities, but Jason tends to use a more diverse array of them: he can also fly, control storm spirits, create his own storms (in one cool scene Jason and Percy combined their storm powers together, but they don't need to do that as they both have storm powers), etc. Nico di Angelo can control the dead to a VAST extent and teleport through shadows. Hazel Levezque, the daughter of Hades' Roman counterpart Pluto, is more connected to his domain of precious metals, but she also has strong natural magical powers as noted by Hecate, the Goddess of Magic.
@@WarGrowlmon18 I know all of this since I have read all the books, but I was kinda trying to make my comment spoiler free since a majority of the crew have not read any of the of books.
21:13 "nachos" are just the chips, not the chips with sauce. So much so that you can have many different sauces with nachos. And doritos were created to reseble nachos.
Hot take, but the movie did this sequence a bit better.
I have to say, this episode has been the most disappointing for me so far. Having them figure out the deal with the casino at the very beginning is kinda underwhelming, it would have been so cool for them to hint that something wrong, that the characters are missing something very important. It seems like the show is pretty bad at showing and not telling straight up. Cutting the Annabeth-Percy talk and the zebra is also a bit upsetting. And then changing the end to have them miss the deadline? And why doesn't the war start then, what's stopping Zeus from just smiting Percy? The gods are not as scary and mysterious here, I got to say. And them just walking calmly after finding out....
I understand that the adaptation can't be a perfect copy of the books, but a lot of changes are not the best. It seems like their making it more kid-friendly and simple, which is weird, because the books were also for the kids. I think most people read them when they were 10-13, and absolutely loved them.
I hope we get a second season with more budget, more episodes (or longer ones), and that the story will get progressively more mature with time.
I'm actually fine with them realizing exactly what the hotel is. As demigods, they should know a good number of the myths since it could literally save their lives. So it at least makes sense that Annabeth and Grover should know what the hotel is just based on the name.
Some people's powers are more subtle than others and not necessarily active powers like Percy's. The children of Athena's powers are mostly increased intelligence. Ares' get battle and strategy related powers and maybe increased strength. Frank Zhang, the son of Ares' Roman aspect Mars, is a Shapeshifter, but that power actually comes from him also being a descendant of Poseidon: Poseidon had granted that power to his grandson, Frank's ancestor.

I was really excited to watch this show, but I’ve gotta say it’s been underwhelming for me and has fallen flat so far. Just hasn’t been that entertaining to watch and it isn’t really interesting.
the use of levitating to kinda recreate the vibe of the og casino scene is just so painful for me. its the one thing the movies did exceptionally well imo
This series has far exceeded my expectation but their presentation of the lotus hotel was very underwhelming. Also the car was not a stick shift so whats with all those shenanigan's?
If you don’t like different opinions don’t read……….this show is so bad that pacing, the decision that they are making story wise. The chemistry of all the characters it’s just not there this episode was the nail in the coffin like God Awful
the random laughs are so weird
people kept telling me the show is just like the book, but that was not the case for me, this show skipped or lefted out, or in some cases completely changed the story, like when percy is getting expelled, grover didnt snitch on him and the never had a falling out, him and grover rode the bus back to the city together and saw the three old women knitting a sock and percy ditched grover and went back home to find his stepdad playing poker, the tv show sucks ass
Gotta say, the talking over key dialogue is annoying.
Booo Calvin!
Wrong casting for young percy js not spot on. Where are the dark hair and green eyes
Ryan Reynolds better play the father of Percy Jackson in this show lol
I would've found it cool because of the Walker-Ryan connection. But the casting for that was revealed a while ago.... Spoiler: he doesn't.
Really disappointed in this episode. In the books is so much better, it has a mood to it that just makes you smile because you see the characters playing videogames and just enjoying themselfs wich is really sad because thats what they really should be doing as 12 years olds and not risking their lifes for some stupid gods... And is hard to say, but even the movie got the vibe better than the tv series. Really hope the last 2 episodes are better than this because with this last episode the series can be considered mediocre at best...
Movie's casino scene was definitely better. The exposition dumping in this show is out of control, there is no tension in anything
i think you might have to reread the books peep, bc the lotus scene in the books is incredibly short lol, you might just be weirdly influenced by the movie
it doesnt matter if its short, in the books it has a totally different meaning. They are kids enjoying being kids, even if its for a short period of time. The movie got that right, reinterpreting it with that a teenager would consider fun like poker, but they still got the mood... Here? Just a disappointing 20 minutes of pointless dialoge that leads nowhere an consequantially just strips the lotus casino part of his meaning...@@i.v.2065
This is wrong and dumb. Read the books again. You're thinking the movie, which is a fail in and of itself. Be better.
The books have a charm to them in this chapter. It’s not a big part of the book or super important. But there’s a youthful excitement at the casino that isn’t captured here. Plus more urgency!
