The gods interacting with their children is NOT forbidden, that was only a thing in the movies. In the show, the gods don't interact with their kids because they just don't want to.
the thing is poseidon actually can't do it rn because it would incriminate him and percy even further so that's why he actually can't
For most of them yes. In this case it absolutely makes sense that Poseidon can’t really talk to Percy. First off-Percy isn’t supposed to exist under the pact and in the books Poseidon claiming him inflamed things even more. Second with all the tension any interaction between them would give Zeus more reason to believe that Poseidon had approached Percy before the bolt was stolen.
Not entirely but also yes. Just like everything with the gods lol
Its also said that its hard on them as well. For a lot of them, the more kids they connect with the more ones they will lose. Imagine centuries of this.
It's for their roman counterparts, mars says so in 'th son of neptune' that jupiter doesn't like th gods meddling too often in th affairs of mortals n demigods. Their original greek forms have more freedom in this regard
ngl grover manipulating the god of war was one of the most fun parts of the episode
Every time PJOTV changes smth I'm like 🤨 and 5 minute later I'm 🤯🤯
further proof that satyrs are fey in all franchises/mythology i'd say
Ares being an under-appreciated director did it for me
i cant wait to see him manipulate Polyphemus next iykyk
@@lilbrownbear Nobody's going to do that...
One thing I appreciate about this series is that Percy, Annabeth, and Grover all have different types of intelligence. Percy has the street smarts, Annabeth is the strategist, and Grover has emotional intelligence. The reaction to "What Is Love" was perfect! Also, hi Lassie!
grover's the heart, annabeth is the brains, and percy is just pure audacity.
@kokopium8003 bro be like "do you get fall damage here?" and jumps before anybody answers
@@lilbrownbearPercy has enough audacity for the three of them lmao 😂
Lassie? Finally another fan of psych
Adam Copeland as Ares might be one of the best castings of the show
I spent 5 mins just saying edge is ares I couldn't comphrend it for so long it's perfect
The cast is very good
I wanted Jon Bernthal and was disappointed when the casting news came out but i'm 100% on board with Edge now lol
No he's not, Edge is
They definitely should look at jon for future seasons
Fun fact: the lobster war was a diplomatic conflict between France and Brazil because some french fisherman were catching lobster on Brazilian waters. It wasn't a real war and as far as I know no one died. So Grover having his history nerd moment and kinda fumbling it but Ares just being too thick to realize was really funny to me lol
And now thinking about it if anything a diplomatic conflict should be Athena's thing right? Lol
It was a conflict so it counts. And people not dying makes it even better.
Grovers are peaceful beings that love nature. Makes total sense
I guess it could count as a cold war type of thing without any actual battles. But Brazil did end up winning and earning themselves an extra 200 miles on their nautical territory. But as a history nerd myself, I kinda like that they brought up those three random "wars"
Nah it would count for Ares I think. Ares is thriving on Twitter and its not as if people are dying on that battlefield either.
Percy pushing the gods and everyone freaking out around him is my favorite thing
He is begging someone to smite him, very Gen Z of him
grover really said “oh the kids aren’t here? i don’t have to be a good role model? GREAT time to gaslight gatekeep girlboss”
i love this episode because not only was ares fantastic but i feel like the kids really settled into their roles this episode. the emotional scenes with percy and annabeth and the parts with grover and ares were sooo good! i was really interested with the changes they made from the book
Some things are still a bit awkward but it's nothing serious or incriminating to me bc they have their own strengths for when it matters and don't really need to be perfect, they're kids after all. There's a charm to that. And as you said, they _really_ shine with the heavier, emotional parts. Those are really admirable. The way the argument went for the seat? Whew. Natural and real. I felt that.
Personally, I feel the cast has been strong from the beginning, and it's the writing and other support that has improved. The cringey moments in the beginning, at least for me, was because they weren't being given enough to work with and/or how the scenes played out. All things considered, they did their best with what they were given. These later episodes, though, prove they have the acting chops and can deliver if given the proper support. Most Disney+ shows I've found this has been a particular frustration of mine, with the rare exception of Andor. The casting/acting is rarely the problem, even with a young cast. But now that the strikes are over, hopefully, that will be less of an issue. Regardless, we all agree the show is moving in the right direction, and I continue to be especially impressed with the talent and chemistry of the main 3, plus of course all the awesome cameos.
@@sanasinnersanctum I agree! I think the cast is insanely talented and from the first couple episodes it was clear to me that they were the perfect embodiments of the characters. As the story progresses and we get farther into the season, I think it just becomes more clear how much chemistry they all have together and I think it really shined through in this episode particularly. you’re spot on with your comment on how the dialogue improved this episode and how that guided them into great performances. I don’t think anyone could have handled the scenes that were a bit more cringy or awkward than this cast honestly. they’re so great on screen that I don’t even think it bothered me as much. They’re still so young and I’m incredibly impressed by what they’ve pulled off so far
Speaking of the kids, was anyone else surprised at how much Dior Goodjohn embodied Clarisse La Rue? Not that I thought she’d be bad, but the contrast in appearance is striking enough that you’d be forgiven for thinking she might not have the same brutish intensity… but she does. I really hope that the SOM adaptation does her justice as she gets more depth explored from there (and also TLO eventually…)
Aaron: Big cousin?
Calvin: Ares.
Percy: Cousin?
Annabeth: Ares.
I really appreciate that they cast a disabled actor to play Hephaestus!!
I didn't even realize that! That is sooo amazing!
Cast. The past tense of "Cast" is still "Cast".
@@smashbrandiscootch719we still understood what they were saying. It doesn’t matter.
@@smashbrandiscootch719 I'll edit it lol. The English language is a nightmare
@@pinsandneedles3 Oh! You aren't a native speaker! I apologize!!!
This episode really highlighted how good of an actor Walker Scobell who plays Percy is. They all are, but the scene where he was turning to gold was so well done.
The Mist isn't equally effective on all mortals. Percy's mother knew about Poseidon and could see the Minotaur just fine. Celestial bronze's inability to harm mortals is unrelated to being able to perceive it or not, even if a mortal could see the blade it would just pass straight through them.
(SPOILERS)
I imagine they'll figure it out before we (hopefully) get there, but Rachel Elizabeth Dare's scene will clarify that haha
This is kinda sorta a spoiler.
@@QuibbleTrouble it is but i dont think it matters much. we're way too far from rachel showing up and the show explaining that part so its fine that op dropped this info
Speaking of which, does anyone else hope that Season 3 onwards have 10 episodes each? I get it for Season 1 given the pace and smaller central cast, and Season 2 will adapt a more focused plot, but after that there’s more characters and plot threads to develop and we’ll need more time. The younger actors will also be older, so hopefully they can do a bit more by then (both logistically and ethically).
@@borjankosarac3645 I think we all wish there was more, but if you think about it, 4-5 hours is pretty good considering how short the books are if you just compare it to movie adaptions of anything else.
"It can't be undone" yeah by anyone who didn't build it.
Literally in the episode they tell you. Hela was in the chair and Hephaestus undid it when Aphrodite agreed to marry him
Timothy Omundson played Detective Carlton Lassiter on Psych and Cain on Supernatural.
Omundson was best known in Psych and for deep cuts, he was the villain in Disney Channel’s Luck of the Irish.
For me he's from Supernatural first Galavant the second 😂
@@Andjelka99 yes! Plus Eli from Xena
I'm really surprised Aaron failed to mention Psych considering how big a fan he is. Maybe he just knows the others haven't seen it.
If you want an even deeper cut, he was in the awful Woody Woodpecker movie.
Honestly! Psych is a series I always wanted them to watch.
The fact that we have Edge(Adam Copeland) and Lin in this show as Greek Gods, makes me happy.
Adam Copeland is killing it in AEW and I very much enjoyed him in this episode. I think he’s a great casting. 🔥
Celestial Bronze doesn't kill mortals because they're "simply not important enough to kill," according to the books. All demigod weapons are made of it unless specified otherwise, so Percy's sword, Annabeth's knife, and Clarisse's spear are all made of it!
The way Calvin bobbed his head during the tunnel song a was the best part of this reaction.
To me Edge as Ares is one of the top 3 casting choices of the show so far. I just hope they give him the fiery eyes like he has in the book in the future.
I'm from Brazil. The Lobster War was when France stole our lobsters 😡🤬
No one died though, so it was more of a diplomatic thing 😂
I loved reading this hah Thank you for sharing
I apologise on behalf of my nation. I don’t even like Lobster, can’t account for the trespass it was shameful.
I can imagine the petty arguments during that time 😂 I'm also from Brazil and I have never eaten lobster anyway 🤭
Fala, BRs!
And Calvin said he thought France would win. 🤔😬
Wow, Calvin can really neck jam to "What is Love" 😂
I love the Percabeth moments in this episode 😭👌 and their acting is sooo great in those scenes
I loved Jancy participation in this episode!!! She kept the things to her self and explained when it was necessary but letting openings, great reaction! It would be cool if you guys made a test to see what would be your godly parent i percy jackson too
The Lobster War was a war between France and Brazil in the 60's over fishing rights.
Thank you, I didn't know even if I am french (shame on me)
What? How I (a brazilian) didn't know that???
@@FelipeCRC I feel less lonely...
We learn things from Percy Jackson :)
Percy: "You think you know who i am?
Edge: "You think you know me?" (Edge intro plays) On this day... 😂
Janici's "oh god" at Aaron's ending button smash killed me lololol
it looked an awful lot like grover's jumpscare when ares thanked him for shading his sister XD
In the book he doesn't spend that much time at camp either, like a week, mostly training with Luke. The show cut that out, which I don't mind, as they only have 8 episodes.
This is the episode where I went from "liking" Grover to "loving" him. Such a smart move to boost Ares' ego and trick him into revealing some information! Amazing detective work on his part!
Everyone just vibing to "What is Love" is hilarious, I did the same thing haha
The animation to tell Hephaestus story is so cool! We don't meet him in the 1st book so that was unexpected.
The whole Waterland sequence is different but I really love it! Walker's & Leah's acting is freaking incredible, they are perfect for Percy & Annabeth! Made my heart so happy to see their relationship develop.
Adam Copeland as Ares is perfect casting, he's amazing as the God of War! Interesting theories on who the Lightning Thief is.
Janci is right Gods chose their appearance, it has nothing to do with the Mist.
The Fates scene is in chapter 2 of the book. I was sad they didn't include in the 1st episode but they changed a bunch of stuff so it makes sense they didn't included it then. I'm very happy they included it now because it's a very important scene!
"I become a known fugitive" is the title of the chapter right before this one. So I'm very happy Percy actually becomes a fugitive because it makes sense.
Gabe's interview had me laughing so hard! He's a loser so of course he didn't move from his chair.
It might be explained further in the next episodes so all I'm gonna say is celestial bronze can't harm humans, period.
Can't believe you are caught up now, these reactions have been awesome! See you next week guys 💙
the thing is tho, that week is still written in a good amount of detail. we really do get to sit with him going through the changes from being bullied at schools to making friends at camp and then sitting alone at the feast tables cause theres no one to share his cabin. i understand tho that the show couldnt do all that cause of the time limit but i wish they atleast made it more clear how much time had passed since he showed up ther. cause it really felt like he popped into camp one night, strolled around with like net morning, hosed down clarisse at night and by next afternoon he was already off to the oracle preparing for the quest.
@@lilbrownbeardid he not say in the last episode he’s been a demigod since last saturday or was i hearing things..
True.
But the show skipped a bunch of stuff, almost whole chapters at times, or reworked/rearranged the structure of the events while still remaining faithful to the book and keeping A LOT of crucial scenes and that's what is most important. To me, at least.
I do find it strange we didn't have a single mention of ambrosia or nectar.
Percy does say "last Saturday" but I get what you are saying and I agree, that is not a clear amount of time. We don't even know how long he was at camp. It felt like 2 days.
Maybe Percy tried other activities at camp, other than archery and weapon smithing but we just didn't see it?
Like a sword lesson with Luke or a Greek lesson with Annabeth.
Would have loved to see either or both!
Anyway, I do hope we get more time at camp before the end of the season, hopefully in episode 8, fingers crossed
@@lilbrownbear
@@EverShy_there is only so much you can fit in for 40 min lol.
I will say though, I wonder how they’re going to end the season. Are they going to split the book into multiple seasons or do each season a book?
The later seems….too incredibly short to me personally
I know. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the runtime. And I agree because the runtimes have been all over the place. Episode 4 was less than 30 minutes. If they made all episodes around 45 minutes, they could have added more scenes.
They already confirmed that season 1 is Book 1. @@peterwilliams2887
Hephaestus is one of my favorite greek gods. Loved to see him here.
i never cared for him until they introduced him in book 3 and omg did i instantly love him!!!
Bucket War, Football War, and Pig War are some of my favorite obscure wars in history to learn about
If you haven’t watched the channel Oversimplified yet, you should
@@calbewetzel3722 Yeah, that's the reference there lol. Great channel, but damn, I've been waiting for a video from them for a while
one of my favourites is the Whiskey War between Canada and Denmark
@@ser132 Yeah that's a good one too
YESSSS I've found my people.I watched this episode with my friends and the minute "what is love" started playing i was head bobbing and my friends were so confused. Then I watch you guys reatc just like I did LMAO.
This is my favorite episode so far
If they watched Psych, they would know that was Dt. Carlton Lassiter (later police chief). It doesn't matter what I see Timothy in. He will always be Lassie.
I really hope this becomes successful so we get more seasons. One season per book would be ideal. Maybe two seasons for book 4 and 5. I love both Percy and HP series, but percy and camp half blood has a special place in my heart. Here's me praying we ger more seasons.
At 12:18 Percy basically said to Edge(Ares) "You think you know me"
The fact that Ares regularly causes arguments on Twitter warms my cold heart, for some reason. XD
Edit: also, I burst out laughing when “What Is Love” came on.😂😂
I LOVE ARES IN THIS SO MUCH
This was the best episode of the season so far, IMO. It answered some questions from the earlier episodes and included some bits left out in the earlier episodes (like the Fates), and it kept all the major points from the book while also expanding upon the world and arguably making it better. If the last three episodes continue to do this or even build upon it further, it's going to go down as a steller adaptation.
The collective bopping of heads to What is Love is such a precious moment.
Grover and Ares being kindred souls is honestly one of the best things ever.
The Fates have different lengths of thread to represent the lifelines of individuals.
I love that everyone started head bobbing when "What Is Love" came on. I did the same watching the episode. 🤣🤣🤣
just a friendly reminder Disney's Hercules is the most inaccurate, surface-level adaptation in history. They basically turned him into Jesus (with his uncle mischaracterized as the devil, and his supposed mother being the goddess his father cheated on in the myth)!
this is my favorite episode of the season so far i think!! that ares casting is crazy good like he showed up and i was like omg that's exactly how i pictured him and i didn't even know i pictured him at all lmao the casting all around has been pretty spot on for me in terms of the gods since i'm more familiar with their stories than this series
also obsessed with the millenial and older instinct to do the night at the roxbury head bob when what is love comes on lmaoooo i died
that percy and anna beth stuff in the tunnel made me cry and i was not expecting it lol those kids are too talented for their own good
One of the creators/writers of this show was also one of the creators/writers of Black Sails (which I know Blind Wave loved)
I'm here for Aaron's deep dive into the history of lobsters as a delicacy. It's what I would have been doing too.
every now and then aaron does things that makes my adhd feel SEEN. cause i cant carry on with my life until i fully research and deep dive into an obscure fact i might have randomly come across.
Yes Timothy Omundson was in This Is Us and Supernatural and Psych but if y'all have never seen him in Galavant you need to fix that! Galavant was a medieval musical comedy series that aired on ABC for two yrs. With songs from Alan Menken. It's amazing. It's on Hulu atm.
Galavant was a masterpiece and I'm still mad it got cancelled
I'm ashamed and proud to say I was bobbing my head in the exact same manner as you guys were when what is love came on.
Timothy Omundson who plays Haphestus also played Detective Carlton Lassiter on a show called Psych, which y'all should definitely watch
i am loving the casting of all the gods so far!
omundson was also in disney channel’s luck of the irish! amazing talent ❤
We need a Psych series reaction from the blind wave squad!!
Not including Seaweed Brain in the edit is a crime against humanity.
I didnt know Timophy was in this show even if it was more of a cameo. I love him in Psych.
this has been my favorite episode so far and I can't wait for next week and what's to come. I love that y'all are reacting to this series!!
7:54 I love the neuron activation that happens as soon as what is love plays and everyone starts doing the head bop.
I loved seeing everyones heads just move in unison the second what is love started playing🤣
GALAVANT!! Aaron is a man of culture, I see.
Timothy Omundson played Cain in Supernatural and cameod as "god" Johnson on Lucifer
The actor y'all were discussing for Hephaestus, he also plays Cain in Supernatural. That is where I knew him from.
Yea the episode was cool but honestly….St Louis Archers would be a sick name for a professional sports team
I wonder how many people did the head nod thing when What is Love started playing, bc my husband and I sure did too lol
Definitely my favorite episode since ep 2
9:14: Percy is a water boy in a water land hahaha
Timothy also played Cain in SUPERNATURAL Aaron :D!
I’m so sad they didn’t recognize Timothy from Psych! 😭 I know some of them have watched it. He was also Cain in Supernatural. I love the actor.
I wonder if that bird cry when they first show the throne was an Easter egg to the old Hercules show that always had that sound whenever Hera was involved.
another fun one, just a great episode ^.^ i really enjoyed Edge as Ares
For the sports-challenged, the Vikings are Minnesota's NFL team and the Rams used to be based in St. Louis but moved back to Los Angeles, where they had originally been based, in the last decade.
Timothy Omundson played Cain in Supernatural.
This is why I watch Blind Wave. I read the Percy Jackson books for the first time 20 years ago, and not once have I ever pondered the question "could a mortal pick up Riptide/is the hilt also celestial bronze?" I love it
Only th blade is made of celestial bronze, th hilt is made of leather. In fact, it's not that a mortal can't touch th celestial bronze, can't be hurt by it, it's different. Chiron brought riptide to his classes at school n let his students touch it, not just percy
Yessssss you guys are caught up! Can't wait to watch this every week with you.
The lobster war, I found out later, was a war between Brasil and France over lobster fishing skhssjdjkshdjs (crazy that I didn't know that cause I'm Brazilian myself 😂)
07:25
The lobster war was a dispute between France and Brazil over fishing rights in the 60s. It had no casualties. France was fishing lobsters in Brazilian territorial waters. There was a lot of tension and both countries sent ships to intimidate each other and France backed down and left.
omg galavant name drop 😭 thank you aaron 😭😭😭😭😭
I hate the people saying the fight scene’s are bad, my guy Percy just found out what he was he’s not gonna immediately know how to fight and swing a sword so realistically Percy should be having trouble and not just be flying around destroying everything
Yes Aaron they were NFL fans and following the Rams from their old home in St Louis to their new one in LA. 😃
Hephaestus didnt make Zeus's bolt. Hte master bolt, Poseidon's trident and Hades's spear/fork were forged bt the original Cyclopses. They were given to the big 3 to kill Kronos
Actually, in 'pj n th greek gods' it's said that th 3 elderly cyclopes built th helmet of darkness/kunèe for hades, not his bident
Timothy Omundson was in Supernatural. He played Cain
“ AREEEEEEESSSS “
I’m going to assume a god didn’t steal the bolt for no reason other than ‘it would be to obvious’ the Olympians probably watch each other like hawks. I’m going to assume it wasn’t a human because of whatever the mist is. The humans don’t seem to be able see or interact with anything. Except Percy’s mum for some reason…
So I’ll say it was a Demi-god. It would be a fucking huge twist if the Hermès’ son stole it. He’s a likeable character to me and maybe he has speed like his father (?), which is the only way I can imagine being able to take the bolt.
Pretty sure Ares is responsible for starting the Great Stanley Cup War of 2024 😂
Also please watch Galavant! It's basically Alan Menken getting to score a more adult, parody version of a Disney musical and it's hilarious
2:43 that is actually a common misconception. The fates, and the Gray sisters are two different groups. The Fates (as seen here) cut the string to determine the fate of someone. The Gray Sisters are the ones that share the one eye and one tooth. The Hercules movie combined them.
Ares: God of flame wars
Yes i love that both reaction channels i watched knew to bob there head when what is love came one!!! Love night at the roxbury!!
This is only the start of Percy's very colorful rapsheet
I was about to comment that you should include an option for those that either read the books first or watched the movies first because I'm sure they will also want to take part in the poll 😅. Glad you guys came to the same conclusion. It'll be interesting to know what percentage of your viewers are new to the series and who has prior experience. Admittedly, I was concerned after the first two episodes because of the writing, not the acting. But episode 3 felt like a turning point for the better and episode 5 for me has been the strongest yet. Love the main 3 cast both on/off screen and loving all the cameos. Really looking forward to Lin Manuel's appearance in the next episode too.
Notice how much Ares lit up at Grover mentioning his “deep cuts.” Ares is the God of War, whereas Athena is the Goddess of things like strategy and battle plans. Ares’ apparent disdain for Saving Private Ryan is for a reason; Ares gets glory for the entirety of WW2, but the D-Day invasion very specifically glorifies Athena. Whereas the Lobster War, a conflict without real strategy and no casualties, ONLY glorifies Ares and NOT Athena. Ares feels like Athena is stepping on his toes, so wars that exclusively glorify him and not Athena are his favorites.
He was Lassider in Psych. Best show ever.
Rams used to be in St Louis, the St Louis Cardinals are still there tho (mlb team)
It's funny to me how Grover in the movie has full on facial hair, like they were definitely not children lol
Timonthy Odmunson you mean THE Detective Lassiter from Psych!
Who currently has the bolt at the end of ep 5 is so hilarious all things considered. If you know you know.
y'all should watch Galavant! cancelled too soon but the casting for Ares and Hephaestus is so good in this
Keep in mind, when lobsters were fed to prisoners and slaves, that was not fresh lobster. That was old, ammonia-filled lobster
Edge (Adam Copeland) is absolutely PERFECT as Ares! Out of every WWE superstar that I grew up watching in the mid 00’s Edge absolutely suits the god of war!
15 year old me also would’ve casted Triple H as Zeus, Batista as Poseidon, and of course The Undertaker as Hades.
i cant believe when they were talking about the actor who played hephaestus, they didnt bring up that he is lassiter from psych?
If I may put on my sports guy cap for a moment!
To Aaron: your hunch serves you well. Saint Louis once upon a time had an NFL team and it was in fact the Rams. They won the Super Bowl back in 1999, and lost another to Tom Brady a couple years later. But that team packed up and moved to Los Angeles back in 2015.
For the super sports nerds out there, Saint Louis is home to the newly branded United Football League’s Battlehawks. The UFL has Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as one of its Owners.
And back to your regularly scheduled programming!
The rams used to be in St. Louis but they’re in LA now😂
I love how they shout he is still in his chair with Percy's awful step father😂. Also the what if loce song was way to perfect
Took me 5 episodes, but the show finally convinced me. I'll invest.
I'm not sure I want to read the book though. I like the series for representing the gods as actually flawed and even toxic (and monstruous, depending on the myth's version you believe in). I hear the books don't really have that.
What do you guys think ?
