Much better Luke then films overly villainous version, but I do miss the book Luke in parts, like how the only time he gets actually angry is when Percy brings up Thalia, like it’s a switch, which would be genuinely terrifying to see for a 12 year old, this 19 year old master swordsman and a chill dude who you looked up to suddenly being so angry, like when Banner shouts to see Romanoff’s reaction.
@@skyleague9844 Because that was in the script for him to be goofy but he was well casted. Atleast was true to the novel's description except the scar. But nothing on this actor, I'll try to put this as gently as I can, imo his face doesn't support intense expressions other than disappointment and guilt and as a reader of pjo and heroes of olympus, I don't think Luke has been casted well and some of the other main characters as well.
the show definitely kept parts of that, the only times he really snapped was when his mom or dad were mentioned which I think is honestly better because in the books we barely got any buildup to Luke’s backstory, it was like an afterthought but now it’s more intertwined in the story
This version of the scene was much more impactful than the book in my opinion. You can see that Luke doesn’t want to kill Percy, and we all know the pain he has gone through. And Percy apologizing for slicing Luke (loyalty is his fatal flaw), and Annabeth finding out was pretty sad. I find it much better than just the scorpion pit.
True. However, I do think the scorpion was a more brutal betrayal. Percy was literally left to die alone in the middle of the woods and in pain. For a 12 year old kid this would have been shattering and heartbreaking. Had it not been for the nymphs and Percy's cries for help he would have died. Luke's betrayal in the book showed how far he was willing to go for his ambitions. He was done DONE. Done with camp. Done with quests. Done with the gods. DONE. He knew of the the prophecy and the best way for Kronos' victory was to get rid of any child of the big three. He was dead set in changing the god's ways no matter what, and was pushed so far by them he was willing to do something so cruel. It's what makes Luke such a compelling character and such a great threat. He was loved by everyone at camp, so for him to snap and do something so unthinkable made his betrayal so impactful in the books as well.
I feel like Luke's betrayal in the series was sadder, but his betrayal in the books was way scarier. "There is a new Golden Age coming and you won't be a part of it" absolutely terrifying for a 12 year old Percy. And Luke in general was a lot scarier in the books. I do like a lot of the changes in the series though
I feel like Luke really did care about Percy that I actually started liking their friendship you know his little brother and for him to find out that Luke is the traitor that hurts
Luke stole the bolt and helm for Kronos during the winter solstice trip. He was halfway across New Jersey when they discovered his theft since Zeus had sent all the gods to look for the items. Ares caught Luke who dueled Ares who disarmed him, took the items, and threatened to take them back to Olympus and burn Luke alive. However Luke told Ares through the words of Kronos that if the items weren't returned there would be a war between the gods. Ares was fascinated by this and so he let Luke go and kept the items. Luke returned to Olympus before the other demigods discovered his absence. Luke was punished by Kronos with nightmares and Luke promised to never fail him again. When Percy arrived Luke realized that he could use Percy to get the items to Kronos. Luke befriended Percy and welcomed him into the camp. During Capture the Flag Luke summoned a hellhound to attack Percy in order to make Chiron think that the camp wasn't safe for Percy. Before Percy left on his quest with Annabeth and Grover Luke gave him the flying shoes which were actually cursed and they were also supposed to drag Percy and the backpack which had the bolt into Tartarus where Kronos would get it. Percy gave them to Grover which wasn't part of Luke's plan. Percy was supposed to die because if he did Poseidon and Zeus would get angry at Hades whose helm of darkness was also missing. Luke then tried to kill Percy with a pit scorpion but the latter was saved by Chiron. Luke joined Kronos who used Luke's anger to corrupt him. Luke's fatal flaw was his excessive anger/wrath and he let it blind him to the point where was willing to betray his friends and join Kronos and the Titans!!!!!
Ok this scene is awesome! It fits so well to the story and to this context, I love that they had luke want to reclute Percy instead of...you know.... Objectively its so much better than the scorpion thing, It humanized Luke so much and leaves room for an amazing character development HOWEVER, after seeing the trio figure everything out the whole season, like, every single moster, and the hotel, who krusty was, EVERYTHING, at least let them be naive about this! , let luke have his own reveal!. I hate that it was percy who figured it out WHY THE HELL DO THEY HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING. It pissed me off so much the entire season 😢 (And I did miss the scorpion low key tho😂, I was just curious about how Walker and Charlie would have pulled that off) but still this was better. JUST LET THEM BE MORE NAIVE NEXT TIME, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE 12, LET THEM BE 12 THANK YOU❤
Okay maybe we should change up that title Luke was never intended to betray or backstab them he always wanted to be understood because of his dad and his big argument and he got tricked so it would not be fair to call him traitor call him Luke not traitor Luke, kid, leader of Hermes, or just even a friend who needs to be understood
Clarice or Percy steals no such Zeus's lightning. It was Luke all along, he's a fraud to do such a thing to steal his lightning and frame innocent Percy, secretly.
So, he can open portals into camp using backbiter? How is that going to work going forward, because in BotL the entire point is the Labyrinth is the way the invasion force is supposed to enter camp. If he can just open a portal, it defeats the entire purpose.
He literally does this in the book too. "he slashed his sword in an arc and disappeared in a ripple of darkness." Straight from the pages. It doesn't describe it further than that, but I always pictured it pretty much as it played out in the show. I think they did it well, though I wouldve liked them to keep in the scorpion.

Fr, nothing against the actor but Luke in the movies was just too outwardly douchey, too obvious of a bad guy

"What are you doing? … Don’t walk on my roof." - Luke Castellan (Movie Version)
the show definitely kept parts of that, the only times he really snapped was when his mom or dad were mentioned which I think is honestly better because in the books we barely got any buildup to Luke’s backstory, it was like an afterthought but now it’s more intertwined in the story
He really nailed his role as luke.
Yeah, but I wish he was blonde and had a more noticeable scar.
"this isn't you" 😭😭
that line made me cry because he cried in the scene
Anyone else notice that Luke’s eye flashes gold
What? When? I didn't see and now i'm watching close but i don't see it

Yeah, this version was a little too similar to the musical.
"We can stay on the run as long as it takes."
Bruh. That hurt. He wanted Percy to go with him. 😭

Everyone talks about how Luke is on Percy's side and saw him as a little brother but if so why would he send him to his imminent death in Tartarus 😭
He is so evil but so hotttt
IVE NEVER AGREED WITH A STATEMENT MORE:
Ok this scene is awesome! It fits so well to the story and to this context, I love that they had luke want to reclute Percy instead of...you know....

His official title in the book is "the traitor" such as later there is a character known as "the spy"
Except calling him the Traitor is entirely accurate. He was a traitor to the camp
Is that why they got rid of the pit scorpion?
Clarice or Percy steals no such Zeus's lightning. It was Luke all along, he's a fraud to do such a thing to steal his lightning and frame innocent Percy, secretly.
You brought your sword out so that means you do want to fight, 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡⚔️
Why this show is so dark😭😭😭
0:00-2:01!❤😂😊😊😊
So, he can open portals into camp using backbiter?
How is that going to work going forward, because in BotL the entire point is the Labyrinth is the way the invasion force is supposed to enter camp. If he can just open a portal, it defeats the entire purpose.
Or he can only open portals from inside the camp, not from the outside
He literally does this in the book too. "he slashed his sword in an arc and disappeared in a ripple of darkness." Straight from the pages. It doesn't describe it further than that, but I always pictured it pretty much as it played out in the show. I think they did it well, though I wouldve liked them to keep in the scorpion.
@@Dashersacctbut it was said he ran into the maze
I mean it wouldn’t change anything, he can’t trasport an entire army of monsters of different sizes so he will still need the labyrinth entrance
We'll see how they manage that, but I'm confident they'll pull it out. :)
This needed better music.
Too much music would make the scene less impactful
Stop saying we Luke there is no weed not anymore Perseus and Luke are there more we are not friends anymore no more 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Don’t smoke weed it’s bad
The way Percy said stop saying we the anger and sadness in his voice man walker is amazing as an actor
Poseidon ♎
