Check out my BREAKDOWN/REVIEW of episode 7: ruclips.net/video/VQ86V0t8FVs/видео.htmlsi=sAH7ckQyKP3EgBl5
Poseidon stayed out of Percy's life cause he listened to Percy's moms wish for him to know himself before knowing him and his family
It all fits so perfectly 😭 He respected her and listened to her. This show has added so much depth to Percy and Poseidon's relationship before they've even met. It's just so good!
And also he couldn’t really be near him anyway because of how powerful of a demigod his kids are
Ima need to see a hurricane behind Percy for the ares fight , because look at the size of edge. That’s not fair.
@@Qwalls4325 there is no question as to whether Poseidon will help. I doubt he's sending a hurricane but the tidal wave Percy used to beat Ares in the book will most certainly have a bit of extra oomph from dad
let’s not 😭 he’s an abscent father, he was an abscent father before sally told him that
I really like this new portrayal of Hades with him deciding to boycott the family gatherings because toxic grudges lol instead of the typical dark and brooding description
He is like: I didn't need drama.
Lemme just chillin' with my wifey❤
It's the most accurate portrayal of Hades so far. Hollywood likes to vilify him..make him look like a power hungry monster
Hades is like me skipping family Christmas last year lmaoo ☠️
I think he’s kind of an I quit not fired attitude. I think he’s banished but he’s Blasé about it 😂😊
He really comes across as the ‘noble god’ offering Percy and co sanctuary
And I can really see this Hades trying to forge a new symbol of power behind the other Olympians’ backs.
The flashback scenes in this episode are SO GOOD! The part where young Percy asks Sally "Why are you trying to get rid of me? I would never do this to you." had to be such a gut punch for Sally to hear, especially when she's just trying to keep her son safe. I truly felt for both of them. 😭💔
Also, even though we only got to see him for a few minutes, I love Jay Duplass's portrayal of Hades already! The way he so casually just says things like "Okey-doke.", "I see you.", and "You know, typically, getting crushed by a minotaur is a terminal diagnosis." is so funny to me! 😂
I am in favour of Hades being shown as a regular friendly guy honestly
@nickankhazali2995 oh, for sure. I feel like Hades always gets a bad rap, just for his associations with the dead and the underworld.
For me it was “why would I want that?!” 😂
his "Huh??" killed me XD
guess that's why he's the lord of the dead lol
I’m so confused as to why sally didn’t try to comfort him or tell him that’s not what’s going on and she that she loves him like why did she just get up and leave him there, that would make me feel so unwanted if I said that and then my mam got up and left me there for a good like ten minutes
The main praise i have for this episode is the structure, like the emotional flashbacks in the mids of action and many great lines from sally leading to an ending that has you on the tip of your seat for the finale - exactly what they need to achieve.
One thing I noticed in the episode is when Poseidon said "no yet" to Sally when she asks if he wants to meet Percy and hear his voice, you can hear the thunder which is such a nice way to show Zeus's threat over him and why he is not meeting Percy right at that moment.
Isn't storms kinda Poseidon's whole thing though? That always confused me, cuz there's definitely some overlap there
@@cm4n63 I think storm are, he is the storm bringer but lightning is definitely Zeus's so... I'm assuming thunder would maybe fall under Zeus ? (Also the symbolism works better if it's Zeus)
yes!! i noticed that
@@albanegauran4283 i think it might be Zues is lightning which would also go with thunder as they go together and then Poseidon might be more like hurricanes and tsunamis and earthquakes like more natural disaster type storms
They are being creative with how they combine scenes. I was impressed with the Cerebus scenes
annabeth was READY to fight this episode shes waiting for her moment
SPOILERS ok i loved this episode but holy there’s a lot to fit in to next weeks. i have 0 clue how they’re gonna fit in them, returning the helm, getting Percy’s mom, flying back to Olympus, talking to Poseidon and then going back to camp and finding out about Luke. but i’m so ready for it:)
edit: I f***ing hate book purists I think they are dumb and don’t understand how shows work. I think that this show is doing an excellent job at getting the story across while adding some awesome plot points that we didn’t get in the book.
I'm wondering if the last episode is gonna be longer than the others
@@seansilence2697 thats what I’m thinking especially bc the others have been pretty short so they might make the finale longer for impact
As long as they get everything in in a way that feels good I’ll be happy
I read online that the next episode is going to be about 40 minutes so similar length to this episode so things are gonna be moving really fast probably and honestly that kinda makes sense for it to be moving so fast because its realistic like they are on a time crunch and are stressed and also its the finale so fast paced makes sense with that too
Percy sends the helm through the furies. And Sally is returned. Percy doesn't have to go personally.
@@AbhijeetdReddevil still that’s a lot to explain…
This was a fantastic episode, great Hades. I cant wait to see this Hades someday interact with Nico.
If Nico is cast as well as the rest, it'll be amazing.
I HATE Nico!
@@who-ny5oeyou’re in the minority on that one 😂😂😂😂
@@EddieMunsonLover34 It is just my opinion.
@@who-ny5oe and ur opinion is not needed as Nico is a notable fan favorite
I really enjoyed this episode!!! Love the changes they made, even though it's different from the books it still makes sense
and of course SUPER excited for the finale next week :)))))
edit: also I know people are upset bc Percy knows who all of these mythical people are but like...he's not stupid. All of them have read these myths before because they've had to, so to me it makes sense that they would be able to tell that Aunty Em is Medusa and stuff. And even if he didn't know who Crusty was, Annabeth definitely would, and would let Percy know who he's facing
Hermes may be the one who told Percy off-screen where the secret entrance is. Because they clearly planned it all.
@hikari9262 To me it's implied that Hermes told them about Krusty's in the letter he left them last episode.
See, it never made a bit of sense to me that they were completely oblivious about the myths in the books. It was literally my only major complaint about the books. So I vastly prefer the way they've handled that in the show
@@seansilence2697 I understand book Percy being oblivious to greek myths bc Sally didn't teach him about it there and neither did Grover (with Mythomagic), but book Annabeth spent 7 years at camp, is a daughter of Athena, reads a lot and knows a lot... yet she didn't know about those creatures at all? 😅😅 made no sense indeed.
That being said, I know some ppl complain about telling, not showing, but honestly Percy is told the majority of the stories in the books bc he (and the audience) are still being educated abt myths. It's not that different from the books in that sense (plus they have less time to waste on stuff like Crusty lmao I didn't even think they'd include it at all)
I don't like that they know everything because it cuts suspense. Like I think it's fine that they guess some of the stuff but not all of it.
I really love this episode ❤️. Someone on tiktok complained about the flashbacks but to be honest, for me personally, the flashbacks are fitting to the storyline. It showed us more of what Percy might be feeling with his mom basically putting him in boarding school and then we see how it pains Sally that she’s hurting her son like this because she needs to protect him. It showed that both Sally and Poseidon are struggling with Percy. They both don’t want to hurt him like this. Poseidon wants to talk to him, to be near him but he can’t because of the pact he made with Zeus and Hades. Sally wants to ease Percy’s troubles and just tell him the truth about everything because she knows how hurt he is with what she’s doing to him.
Poseidon comforting Sally and giving her advice, even acknowledging that Sally is doing an amazing job as Percy’s mom, was really comforting. Sally needed that. Percy’s life is in danger and she needed the encouragement that she’s doing the best thing for Percy.
Annabeth was right. Sally was preparing Percy all along, so when he got to them, he’ll be different than all of the common problems with the gods and the creatures and being a demigod. And Sally did. She had prepared Percy. He’s just navigating everything now on his own and learning more and understanding more but he’s still the Percy that she took care of. Someone who sees both right and wrong, and has a heart of gold. Who wears his heart on his sleeves. Percy is different. And that’s what makes him amazing. Sally did an amazing job.
People fail to realize that in the books Percy gushes over his mom CONSTANTLY in his thoughts but you can't really do that in a show - they have to build out WHY/HOW she did these things especially since the show is focusing far more on the parental dynamics. The gods are supposed to be a stark contrast to how Percy's mom raised him and cared for him/struggled for him in comparison and I think its great they SHOW that since they can't necessarily 'show' the gods being neglectful since they're more in the background > this logically pushes Sally's relationship with her son to the forefront to make you wonder 'wow wtf are the gods doing/been doing? they're GODS, don't they have time for their kids at SOME point?'
@@skylerfreeman1173 true. Correct me if I’m wrong (pretty sure I am wrong). The thing with Percy, from what I’ve noticed, is that because he views his mom in such a positive light, he doesn’t really realize how hurt he must have felt during the times that Sally had to do everything she can to keep him away for his own safety. He loves his mom that much that he doesn’t really focus on his own feelings whether his hurt or not. As long as the people he cares about is alive, safe, and happy, what he feels doesn’t matter
@cleopatradizon2042 yup that's almost the entire point of his character. Self sacrifice , he comes last to the point sometimes he won't even notice himself until it's too late
I was again surprised by the hades and poseidon actors performances. I liked it
The Poseidon speech at the end was strong. That fight scene will be epic next episode…. Hopefully.
I really like the conversation between Poseidon and Sally. Poseidon knowing without her saying it that she doesn't want Percy at camp. Him realizing that she needs a person to talk to, and being there, focusing just on what she has to say and helping her figure things out. And her just being able to open up and confide in him, knowing that he is there for her right now and listens. That in this moment, she can talk to someone about the monsters she knows are there, but has to deny in front of everyone else.
I like Sally (props to Virginia Kull's acting) a lot in this show. That scene in the cafe, when Percy thinks she wants to get rid of him, almost made me tear up.
I think the changes have been fun for book readers who know the story so well
Yeah, it's like a fun little surprise every episode. I really like how they did it this season
Yeah, I always love when a favorite childhood book gets butchered for profit and the faithful adaptation that was promised just completely destroys the source material and provides zero suspense. I'm bitter. This is neither the adaptation we wanted nor the one we deserved
@@stratoskaras786who’s we? We love this show. It’s just u who doesn’t
I *loved* that we got that flashback between Sally and Poseidon.
grover was picking at his horns before they went in the underworld bc he was nervous 😢
The last episode had better be 50 minutes long because hooww are they going to fit everything in? This episode was PEAK. Definitely in the top 3 for me so far. Sally gets me emotional every time and I'm superbly happy about the development for the relationships between Sally, Percy and Poseidon.
It’s just over 40
Next we get that fight with Ares, the conclusion of the quest, HOPEFULLY Sally disposing of Smelly Gabe and Percy's confrontation with the true Lightning Thief. All of the clues are there already to the Thief's true identity.
@@ThomasMees do those 40+minutes include the recap and credits?
I have so much (good) to say about this episode but all I wanna say rn is yes, isn't walker's acting just so good? i believe every word, every emotion, hes so good.
It’s so nice to see people excited and enjoying the show and even the changes being made and added because so many people are being so negative and it makes me sad because the cast and crew and Rick have done an amazing job so far! If you don’t like the show of course that’s fine! But there seems to be a lot of people watching it just to complain so it’s nice to see a community of people discussing the changes and what they liked!
Same, I personally am not a huge fan of the show but I am glad to see some people can enjoy it
I don’t know if you noticed or not but Percy is wearing Annabeth’s necklace when he goes to Olympus and I’m not ready emotionally for what next week’s episode will do, Poseidon’s voiceover at the end gave me chills
In the book, she gave it to him as a sign that she was standing with him when Percy fought Ares. She and Grover are just fine, don't worry about that. We get that fight, the conclusion of the quest, HOPEFULLY Sally disposing of Smelly Gabe and Percy's confrontation with the true Lightning Thief. All of the clues are there already to the Thief's true identity.
@@WarGrowlmon18 I know all of that, but when Percy goes to Olympus in the books I don’t think he’s still wearing her necklace, I could be wrong because I finished rereading TLT like a week and a half ago and I’m on HoO currently but it’s pretty clear Annabeth isn’t going to give him the necklace before he fights Ares unless the next episode there’s a break before Percy charges at him but based on how they cut the episode it doesn’t look like that’ll be how it goes. I’m still not emotionally ready for next week, after the ending voiceover and that flashback who knows what dialogue they’ll add into the finale as a gut punch for all of us
Maybe it's changed so that she gives it to him before he goes to Olympus instead. Which book are you on by the way???
@@WarGrowlmon18 that was my thought, so that way Athena is standing with him on Olympus facing Zeus, I already know it’s going to make me emotional. I’m currently on The Lost Hero, my friend has been reading it to me because I don’t own anything past the original 5 books
Oh that's a good one!!! Gaea's the main bad guy of that series while the main heroes are Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Piper and the friends that Percy makes at the Roman camp, Frank and Hazel. Frank's a son of Mars, Ares' Roman form and he's also a descendant of Poseidon with the family gift of Shapeshifting. Hazel's the daughter of Hades' Roman aspect Pluto. She died in the 1940s but Nico di Angelo resurrected her between the first two series. It's a crazy series and the best book of it involves Percy and Annabeth falling into Tartarus.😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Even I would’ve loved for the Procrustes part to be longer/more accurate they definitely did it so that they could spend more of the episode with the main conflict/big moment of going to the underworld and all that drama. If they had included all of the Crusty stuff it might cut time away from the underworld scenew
Julian Richings (Crusty) was the ferryman in the Percy Jackson movie.
He was also Death in Supernatural!!
Supernatural is such a good show
I know the show isn’t perfect but it’s so good. And I think a lot of peoples complaining had to do with budget and episode length more than any other favors and that’s not in the creators. Of course it’s not perfect
Tell me your favorite part of the episode!!
If you're wondering why the audio sounds different at different points of the video, its mostly because of copy right reasons!! I'm wondering... Would you guys be interested in me posting my FULL reactions on Patreon so you guys can watch the entire show with me?? Let me know if that's something y'all would be into!
Ok my favourite part would probably be the part where flashbacks occur and we get to see Poseidon/Toby!
Favourite part is showing that Percy had no choice but to leave Sally behind.
SALLY & POSEIDON SCENE FTW!!!!
Percy saving Grover and them realising the bolt is in their backpack
okay so I know our queen Annabeth didn't get a lot of scenes here but,
All Hail Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena, Tamer of Cerberus!!!
(and can we appreciate the fact that there are cliffhangers as exciting as the book?)😩
I loved u saying interesting over and over again It reminded me of Kronos witnessing Percabeth😂
Haha yessss! 😂
not entirely sure how i feel about crustys being merged into DOA records and the scene being cut a lot but if they didn’t have the time to do all of that i can see why 😭
DOA is not replaced as it is explained that Crusty’s is a secret entrance to the underworld. DOA is the main normal entrance for real dead people.
@@drivingahead1796 i mean yeah sure, they could explain that crustys is also one but they don’t mention DOA records at all and Charon is clearly not there so it probably doesn’t exist in this universe. it also replaces DOA records in the book is mainly what i’m trying to say
That could be the case. I just am happy to see Charon and I just assumed that all those people came from DOA and the boat ride on the River Styx.
@@drivingahead1796 they were waiting in that line to cross the styx in the beginning of the episode
Ok well I’ll have to rewatch I might be wrong lol.
Walker is an amazing actor. His facial expressions are amazing, they portray exactly what he’s thinking and feeling. Just brilliant
IM ACTUALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SEREIS!!AND EVERYONE IN IT !!IM SO EXITED FOR THE LAST EPISODE AND THE REST OF THE SEASONS❤❤❤
Excited to be so early. Another great episode. It's been really fun to watch these with you. You're a great reactor and I am glad to get the benefit of your Percy Jackson expertise.
Sally is just so amazing, virginia is killing it she's so good
The budget for the next season has to be largely increased, if they have to show things like Sirens, Scylla, Charybdis, Cyclops, Lestrygonians and of course the heroes in the boat all the time and sea setting. It would be a challenge, judging from what we already saw in S1.
And most of those monsters are Percy's relatives too!!!🤣🤣🤣
Almost everybody is Percy's relative.@@WarGrowlmon18
While I personally prefer the chapters it is based on rather than the episode, I feel that the changes that were made are better for the middle school aged audience this show is designed for.
If Hades had offered me sanctuary, I would have taken it to be honest!
The beginning had me nervous..bc the jump straight into knowing Procrustus was like whaaaa noo! but the rest of the ep??? MASTERPEICE
Hermes probably included his name in the information on the secret entrance and Annabeth would've then known all about the myths surrounding Percy's evil half brother.
@@WarGrowlmon18 Could be. but, when watching the person doesn’t wanna go “MAYBE, off screen somewhere, some time, when we weren’t looking, this could have happened”
@@aricahawkins9959It's honestly such a minor detail. Plus, Percy said something about his mom telling him all about these myths when they were in the Tunnel of Love. PLUS, Crusty is his brother.
@@WarGrowlmon18 Yes, he knows lots of myths. However he wouldn’t magically alr know every one of his brothers that exists lol, nor would be know exactly who or what something was immediately, no deciphering, no clues, and also remember he found out about his parentage not that long ago. it is a very small detail, but in my opinion it was a pretty poor decision. no set up, no suspense. Crustys actor did fantastic however. The start could have been better but the rest of the episode was absolutely amazing.
actually was waiting for your reaction!!!! can’t wait to watch this video!
I feel Percy knowing who a lot of the villains are makes sense. In a book, it's important to have a main character that learns things alongside the reader as you spend time inside the head of the main character with their thoughts and so it's more engaging if you are both new to the crux of the story. In a tv show this can lead to characters looking slow witted, especially after the first few times. The pace also needs to be picked up a tad to fit everything in to 8 episodes whereas a book can be as long as it needs to be.
A lot of them are also related to him in some way. Poor guy.😒😒😒
this ep got me in rollercoasters
When Poseidon said "tell me why", I just thought of that line up from Brooklyn Nine Nine, don't ask me why.
My favourite time of the day!!! Been waiting for this one! I love this episode
I'm going to watch the last episode eating macaroni and cheese and blue candys. i´m very anxious for that episode
Fun fact: Toby Stephens (Poseidon) is Maggie Smith's (McGonagall) son. 😊😂 just wanted to put it out there
Omg that’s insane😲
The end of the chapter was incredible. Poseidon talking about Percy while Ares appears... omg, just epic. I can´t wait for next week
This was definitely my favorite episode so far
Great episode!
The kingdom of hell is beautiful!
Hades and Poseidon were characterized well as characters!
I'm liking all the gods introduced in the series!
this ep was the strongest episode, i was sobbing
I didn't know what the deal was with the match in the ice cream but you made me realize
I am morning the loss of DOA recording studio because of how funny it is but thats another location that we didn't have time for. If it was a choice between Crusty and that I am glad we got Crusty because we still get to see Charon. ALSO I love the actor playing him. You're right he was also in the movie. I don't feel like googling to make sure but I am 99% that he was Hades. He was also Death in Supernatural.
Edit: NO WAIT HE WAS CHARON! Thats even better but tbh I wouldn't be suprised if he played Hades in something else. He is just the best actor for creepy stuff
The Cerberus chase was so scaary I was literally tremblinggg
Congratulation Hades 🎉🎉 finally something in the media did you justice! Enough with the villanous crap
I mean.. he's not exactly a good guy in th book either. Threatens percy to stop death, crack th earth n unleash a fkn global zombie apocalypse to turn human cities into a nightmare. Furthermore, it's said by grover that it's he who enjoys devising all th tortures of th punishment camps
@@Gradestar10 welp, he's not a 100% nice guy in the show either, he does want the master bolt once he realizes Kronos is the real issue (which foreshadows decisions and fights he has with Nico further down the line, around book 5). But that's basically the same as the regular god out there. The issue with Hades in the media is that they protray him to be the antagonist, the villain, because they associate the Underworld with Hell and Hades with the Devil, which is more of a christian/catholic centric view of the world and doesn't do justice to the greek god presented in myths. The stuff he does may or may not be as bad as what others gods do sometimes, and his relationship with his kids has its ups and downs, but ultimately (especially after the sun and the star), it's clear that he's just... kinda trying his best there.
He's also fair. If he gets his helm back, then Sally is back too. No traps or unnecessary pettiness there, be it in the books or (I believe) in the show.
@@Gradestar10To be fair, Hades was justified in how angry he was, he was just angry at the wrong person. And Zeus really did him wrong in the book series if you ask me.
@@WarGrowlmon18 i know, but still he wanted to unleash a fkn zombie apocalypse across th world. Even in real mythology he wasn't rlly a sweetheart, i mean.. he fed piritous to his pet, he gave th green light to th furies to hang that trojan princess n he even threatened zeus to free th titans frm th underworld on earth if he didn't gave him what he wanted. He may not be exactly like satan, but he certainly isn't a saint either
Never said that he was, Hades has a temper and his fatal flaw is grudges just like Percy's is personal loyalty. He also basically told Nico that he should've died instead of Bianca. But both Zeus and Poseidon have done terrible things too. But Hades is better than Zeus in a lot of ways, including the fact that he actually cares about his kids.
I really like how the underworld looks and it’s more like the book and myths where there’s different places to the underworld. Also posidens monlouge literal chills and nice touch is when he enters the room rain and thunder is heard as well.
ive been waiting for this.
8:02 literally! These kids are doing so awesome💅👏🏼I'm really impressed
When I started PJO as a reader, I was Percy's age and relating to him. As a mother now, I cry every time Sally cries because I can almost feel it myself. I find myself relating as a mother just trying to figure it all out
Many scene that different from original novel,
Like where is my funny security in Italian suit charon, and my cool and more angry Hades (at least i love how the actor make Hades look more charismatic is his kingdom, like a king always be)
But other scene good,
I like how they show interaction of Sally and Poseidon, also the scene of cute three-head puppy that chasing the red ball 😂😂 not accurate but still funny
My question is did Annabeth and Ares stand the whole time one the beach waiting for Percy and Grover to show up.
Annabeth probably, Ares doubtful
Poseidon would have talked to percy, but the thunder was Zeus warning him.
The short moments where they did the "show, not tell" were the key moments of this series, most of them are not from the books and are closer looks at details that have been missed in the books.
No one pointing out how genius Annabeth is when dealing with Cerberus. Also is figuring out all these mythical people coz hes hanging out with one of the smartest people alive
If you didn't know, the music that we are hearing at the Crusty's entrance is the France National Anthem (yes, I was born in France 😅) I don't know why they've chosen this music btw 😂
You kind of look like a younger Sally Jackson!
Idk who else noticed it but at 15:04, when sally asks Poseidon to talk to percy, theres a thunder in the background, kinda like Zeus warning him not to do it.
Idk if its intentional or i am looking too much into it.
That’s what I thought too!!
Except if Zeus knew that Percy existed he'd have almost certainly killed him. That could be a reaction to Poseidon's own emotions: he is the Stormbringer after all.
@@WarGrowlmon18 Zeus def. knows percy exists, you think medusa knew a forbidden child was claimed and Zeus didn’t?
Zeus is the one to spread rumours that Percy has stolen the bolt and is using that to wage a war like ares mentioned 2 episodes back.
No Zeus was tricked too by Kronos and Ares. Ares was the one who convinced him that Poseidon had Percy steal it in order to kick off a war, that was in the book too. But Zeus didn't know for sure about Percy until Poseidon claimed him. Zeus didn't know about him at all during the flashback.
@@WarGrowlmon18 yeah, your point makes sense, i forgot it was a flashback and not the present timeline.
I thought this was a great episode. A lot of other book readers are seriously starting to annoy me, and I can tell they’re annoying you lol. It’s totally fine to have criticisms ofc- I know the show isn’t perfect- but it seems like they are only mad because it’s different. Like, Hermes left them with a detailed note about going into the underworld, of course he’s going to warn them about Crusty. The guy knows everything. Anyway, always love your reactions. Regardless of a few flaws, I adore this show, and I think they’ve captured something really special here. I will be soooo sad if it doesn’t get renewed.
Yes and the criticism is really pushed to the forefront by many fans. I saw a tiktok from a fan after the first 10 Min. of the Episode, how disappointed she is about the Crusty-thing. In the comments she mentioned that she actuallly loved the rest of the episode. Why not make a video about the good and bad after the episode? 😅
Like I agree with a lot of the criticism, but i've enjoyed every episode and a lot of my problems could be solved by longer episodes. It Just feels like the Talk about the Show changed so much after Episode 6 and I really really don't wan't that to be the reason we don't get a second season or a action-packed Percy-Jackson-Fight-Series.
@@florence_black Me too! Like, if I wanted to read the books again, I'd read the books. As an writer myself, if I ever get the incredible good fortune to have a crack at adapting my material 10 years after I published it, I would be absolutely miserable not changing anything about it. I am happy for Rick, tbh. I think the show needs longer episodes, sure. But this is the only adaptation we're ever getting, and it would be a DAM shame if we don't get more of it because book purists complain louder than the people who like the show. Anger sells better than love or levelheadedness, and I wonder. if that's why some reactors are so upset, esp. in their thumbnails.
@@isabellp.5730 YES, i saw a reaction and the title made it sound ike he didn't like the episode, but he actuallly did like it??!
@@isabellp.5730 Exactly! Honestly if I were adapting my own work to television, I wouldn't really see the point unless I was going to make some changes which, in my opinion, have been mostly improvements.
I spent half of this thinking you were the actress that plays percy's mom😂
He is gonna be there where he belongs...
Annabeth shows up...
He belongs with her❤❤❤❤❤
The problem with the show is time and budget. The acting is so good. And the changes aren't bad. Some are really good. They just don't have sufficient time for doing justice to some things. I really really love the trio actors. I hope they increase the time and budget in the next season so the trio gets to do their best.
Don't know if Cam will see this, but a fun little fact about the show that I just learned today is that Toby Stephens (the guy who plays Poseidon) is actually the son of Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter)
I'm a little hesitant on the changes to hades but otherwise I liked it for the most part
Next we get that fight with Ares, the conclusion of the quest, HOPEFULLY Sally disposing of Smelly Gabe and Percy's confrontation with the true Lightning Thief. All of the clues are there already to the Thief's true identity.
yeah Procrustes is played by the actor who played Charon in the movie
i feel like you look a lot like sally jackson haha 🫶
I love how Hades is so calm at first, but when he hears Kronos is involved, his tone changes, his air of confidence is starting to break, I’m watching it and I’m like, Hades is seriously scared. He was okay with not getting the bolt, but when having the bombshell of his father being dropped, he is just trying to barely keep it together. It really makes you feel that this is a BIG deal if Hades is scared. I read the books and I’m loving how this series is adapting them. It’s close enough that book readers will like seeing some of their favorite parts, but distinct enough that it is its own thing without reinventing the wheel.
I mean Daddy Dearest DID eat him!!!
@@WarGrowlmon18 yeah, I imagine that kind of trauma would make anyone irrational when the source of it shows up.
My father left my family when I was 7, and would show up to some of my siblings when he wanted to, hoping he could make them sympathetic to him. When my sister was in college, he showed up at her college dorm, so when she called my mother, she was rather frantic.
So seeing Hades switch like that is very interesting to me especially, because you can see that his entire thought process switches to preservation and survival, because of how scared he is now that the source of his trauma is returning.
Most of the Gods in the series aren't all that great personality wise, but Hades is actually one of the better gods despite that. The best gods in the series I'd say are Poseidon, Hades, Hestia (who got a whole book named after her!!!), Hermes and Apollo. The really not so good ones are Zeus, Hera, and Ares.
@@WarGrowlmon18 yeah, those last three aren’t the greatest, and I think it may be because they still believe things are okay as it is. The status quo might not be ideal, but it’s what they’re used to, and it usually works fine for them. The former gods are portrayed a lot better because I think they see the problems with the way things work and while they might not be able to change the whole system, they try in their own ways to help the children they care about. It’s not perfect and there are times where their kids might misunderstand, but they still love them. When you’re in a toxic environment like the gods are, it’s easier to believe that things will always be the same and there’s no point in changing things. That’s the way I see things at least.
Sally and Poseidon. I die.
14:20 sally is straight up giving bars
Why is everyone so confused by the "cut of your jib" line? It's not that obscure of a phrase.
I don’t mind the changes from the book. If anything the episodes offer an expansion from the book. Plus, Rick Riordan I believe has creative control, so you know any changes wouldn’t come without his say so.
Riordan once said in an interview that his greatest struggle as a writer is after finishing a book and time passes there are moments where he wishes he could’ve gone back in time and added some things or changed some things.
I was really impressed by Sally Jackson’s portrayal as a mortal living in a world of god and monsters while raising a demigod son and the portrayal of the Underworld! ❤❤
Sally jackson cosplay when?
Honeslty, I think people are used to origin stories where the main character is thrust into a world they know nothing about and despite being special/"the chosen one" they still have to bumble their way through. The Percy Jackson Tv show isn't that. Annabeth has been at camp training for a quest for years ( I think 5, right?) and Grover's job is to be a Protector. Even with Percy, he didn't know he was a demigod but his mother knew and told him stories about Olympus. Personally, I think trio using their knowledge/common sense throughout the quest is an improvement from the books.
The problem I have with the Crusty’s opening is how random it is, it’s very jarring if you haven’t read the book and Percy immediately knowing who he is and saying it straight away feels like he’s jumping the gun since Crusty is a mortal enough name and we don’t see any indication before as to why they would be there. How did they know the entrence would be there anyway? It’s just a bit too out if the blue and could have used a bit more lead up so that the audience doesn’t have to infer so much, I wish they polished a bit more so that it made a bit more sense
This episode started out a bit slow for me but I really loved the second half of it. I'm really looking forward to the finale but am a bit concerned because I feel like there's a lot that needs to happen in that episode for the length of it.
You kind of look like Sally Jackson 😅
crusty was in the movie!!! he was the ferry man
I honestly feel a bit torn about the kids knowing stuff. On the one hand it makes complete sense for them to know the lore since they’ve been taught them since they were younger. On the other hand i still just wanna see certain scenes acted out and brought to life. Like i wanna see them play the games at the casino. I want to see them on the water beds stretched. I understand though so i won’t hate on it like a lot of people seem to be doing
But i do like the additional sally scenes which is why im assuming they cut some other stuff. While sally is a sweet mom it would be hard raising a demigod so i get wanting to show that side too
Annabeth has been preparing to go on a quest since she was 7 and she's the daughter of Athena, awlays seeking more knowledge and wisdom. It was actually strange in the books how often they ran into things while completely clueless. It is more engaging for a kid in a children's book format where you'd figure it out alongside them throught the surprises and solutions but from a writing perspective it reflected poorly on our main characters. I honestly just think the show makes it work better. Also it's probably partly a choice to cut down on runtime due to budget constraints. But they make it make perfect sense within the story so hey, I like it.
It's so important to get this Sally-Poseidon-Percy stuff. They've already built so much background for Percy and his dad and they haven't even met yet. It's more complex, more bittersweet. Percy often thought about how awesome his mom is and without those bits in the internal dialogue it's nice to get all that conveyed with flashbacks.
Yeah, I think it would make sense for Annabeth to know Medusa/Lotus etc. But they could make her not now the lesser known myths.
By far my favorite episode with episode 5, on the other hand I am disgusted to know that there is only 1 episode left is way too short. I hope that for the next seasons, that they will do 40-minute episodes in 20 episodes minimum, that would be the best.
Have you watched the trailer of Avatar: The Last Airbender which will be released on February 22nd, I can't wait
Procrustes was Charon in the movie!!
Cam the GOAT 😅❤👍🏿
You kind of favour sally
I have a shitty mom. I wish I had Sally Jackson as my mom 😂
My only complain up to this point is how Gabe was written ..but I understand the reason for toning it down. I admit that the amount of times Percy said 'I know' is a little off putting as a book reader.. hahaha... One of the things I like about him is that even when he has no idea what was happening he always comes up with either clever or stupid ideas to execute Annabeth's plan.I am however constantly impressed by Walker, he still feels like Percy even with all the changes they make at least for me.
I still enjoy this episode though...and the show as a whole. Can't wait for the finale.
This might be weird but you look like you could play a younger sally, or a younger teen sally ❤
We so back!!! I think episode 6 was kinda a let down. This episode was fire!!!!. This Season is going out with a bang
At the beginning I was disappointed that ep 6 was weaker (They really should have let them have fun. It would have been a great contrast to this Episode!), but in retropersective I have to say: Because of the critisism of ep 6 (and therefore some issuses of the whole show: pacing, Info-dumping, Episode lenght etc.) they'll hopefully improve that Things in season 2 (manifesting one)
Next we get that fight with Ares, the conclusion of the quest, HOPEFULLY Sally disposing of Smelly Gabe and Percy's confrontation with the true Lightning Thief. All of the clues are there already to the Thief's true identity.
@@WarGrowlmon18 yeah Ik I've read the books
This is a good ep! my only complaint is that (again) they cut the action scene short, the scene with crusty tho i wish its longer and the scene where they enter a place where charon just stands there bored with so many dead ppl who can’t get in to the underworld i kinda wanted to see that but never mind. Oh and i wish hades was more scary tho 😂 and like not just stand there watching them gone with the pearls i kinda wish he would go angry at some point that would be cool lol. And i thought they would address that the furries were sent to catch them on hades’s order because he thought his helmet was with them.
The sally and poseidon talks my favourite scene.
It's kinda inferred that Hades sent them for the Helm. I'm OK with Crusty being a quick move. And this Hades fits. He has an entire empire, and really couldn't stand his family. I also like that Persephone wasn't there because it's summer, she's with her mother. But Hades wouldn't want them to leave, as long as he has Sally, the most powerful demigod at Camp halfblood will get his helm back
The one thing i dont like about this show is how there is no surprise for the audience. I know it makes sense that the characters would know about this but it also makes it kinda boring because there are no shocking reveals for places 😒
I was really enjoying this show, some hiccups here and there, but I have to admit…I’m actually really disappointed with this episode. 😢 they really fumbled one of the crucial events in my opinion. They rushed to Percy finding the bolt in his bag and they rushed to him figuring out it was Kronos. I’d much rather see Percy trick Procrustes or Charon to see how smart Percy is rather than have him figure out major plot points in seemingly seconds
Not me who this finished this episode at all. 😳😂
Oh man… what did they do to Hades… disappointed
I personally really liked this episode. It's probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite episode of the season. That Sally and Poseidon scene was everything!
Procrustes is the worst big brother ever, lol
Polyphemus is worse. And Chrysaor. And Anateus.
