Hey will you guys be reacting to the Godzilla series on Apple TV called Monarch Legacy of Monsters??
@@nerdwatch1017yes. From january 19
Annabeth would push Percy down the stairs because it is necessary for the quest. Clarissa would just push him down the stairs to start a fight.
The original Perseus decapitated Medusa and she is alive here, so she can definitely still come back.
Also lightning doesn't always hit the ground, sometimes it goes between clouds or within a cloud.
Well in the books they come back to life in like a couple years to a couple hundred, just depends, but in the book series she never is seen again sadly.
I absolutely love this portrayal of Medusa. Her design is great, and Jessica Parker's acting is perfect. And the battle with her was so much better than in the movie. I just wish they'd kept Grover's "That's for Uncle Ferdinand" line when he flies at her.
The silence and rapt attention during Medusa’s story speaks volumes of Jessica Parker Kennedy’s performance. She’s wonderful. And her ability to hint at Poseidon assaulting Medusa without saying it out loud, so the show stays child appropriate, is such a hard balance to capture, but she does it.
The way she says Poseidon "broke her silence" is super powerful language, really great way to stay PG but say what they mean
The Percy Jackson franchise follows the second version of the myths, where she was a priestess and vowed chastity but had an affair with Poseidon. You're thinking of Ovid's version, where Poseidon forces himself on her and Athena curses her instead of helping her.
Any time a decent adult actor interacts with the trio, the difference in quality is so jarring. Percy is not bad but the other two just seen like they're reciting lines in their school play
Nah bro, Grover was a bit weak in the first 2 but has stepped up. Annabeth is great, Percy is perfect. @@hs-ti4fr
In the original myth Medusa was one of three gorgon sisters that also fell in love with Poseidon. In their first version Gorgons were nothing more than monsters.
Second version of the myth is that she had sex in Athena's temple and so Athena punished her. The author (forgot his name) of this version was also very much a misogynist.
The third version of the myth came from Ovid iirc. He was very anti-authoritarian and it was reflected in his stories that shows the Gods in a bad light. In his version, Poseidon forced himself on Medusa and when Medusa asked Athena for help she was punished.
This is one thing people don’t really understand about the myths but for nigh almost all of them there are varying tellings of the myths. Especially since they were written at different times by different people and cultures. It happens to all religious texts.
I've also heard a variation of the second version where she was one of Athena's priestesses, who vowed chastity. When she had an affair with Poseidon, Athena punished her for breaking her vow. That's kind of where I think the show pulled from.
I've also heard some people interpreting Athena's actions as secretly being a gift/apology to Medusa! Although it would seem like a curse to other humans/gods/creatures, her ability to turn people to stone just by looking at them would actually benefit her in the sense that she would be able to defend herself against any future attacks. Personally, I really like this version because it makes Athena's decision seem like a clever maneuver out of the situation rather than a rash, unjust punishment.
@@anniemae4449except then she cant be around people at all. No one will hurt her but she will be eternally isolated from others except the gorgons. No it seems to be a straight up punishement.
@@tylerrussell9926 she can be around people so long as they dont make eye contact (as we see in the show) :~)
Someone should let Aaron know that boats don't travel at highway speeds, so even by the shortest route, it would take nearly a month to go from NYC to LA. They only have a week.
Aaron "you gotta pay the troll toll" 😂
I like Janci being a part of these, but since she's somewhat new to reacting the guys may need to have a discussion about when to fill in the blanks of certain things. Like let things happen in the show before explaining them.
Yeah, I think it's nice to have someone who knows the books, so they can expand more on the stuff that already happened, but it's not really fun to explain the world before the characters in the story can do it. I'm not saying anything that wasn't said in the show is a spoiler, but I feel like Janci is giving a bit too much information. Some of it are pretty serious spoilers (I'm not gonna say which one, because that would also be spoiling, but it's something she said closer to the end of the video).
Gotta express the same sentiment. She's got great energy and it makes her really fun to watch, but she really needs to learn to hold her tongue with potential spoilers (especially when they're major ones like today's video).
@@mangoh8er I mean, technically anything not said in the show IS a spoiler. It's just a matter of what level of spoiler people are okay with. Some people don't mind minor spoilers for background info and stuff, and others want literally no spoilers whatsoever, including something as minor as "I can't wait until you get to episode X".
The problem is that everyone has a different level of what they personally consider a spoiler, and then they all all just assume that everyone else shares the same exact definition. Generally it's best to just avoid every single kind of potential spoiler unless you've had a conversation with someone and know what kinds of spoilers they're fine with.
I agree and appreciate you putting it so nicely bc there’s a lot of people in the comments being really mean about their criticism of the way Janci reacts.
@@deshaunfortune912 Are they just deleting negative comments or something, then? Because personally, I've only seen max 3 or 4 comments (including the one I made on the first episode) that even criticize her at all, and the rest about her that I see are just saying that they love her and her enthusiasm.
It's in Los Angeles because it's a) the city of the angels, and b) the entrance to the Underworld was described as being in the far west in the original Greek myths.
Camp Half Blood is located in Long Island, NY near Montauk where the cabin is.
I didn't even recognize Jessica Parker Kennedy at first, she's amazing as Medusa.
Speaking of Medusa, she's a way more complex character than in the books and I love that change!
The Oracle also has a great design!
PS: Rick Riordan and his wife got statues made of them and you can see them in the basement.
That's true, altho I think I would've preferred the way they kill her in the books rather than the show since it shows a bit more of Percy's strength
I may just be misremembering since it's been a while but I think Percy kills her by himself in the books using reflections
In the book, Annebeth picks up a glass sphere and tells Percy to use the reflections. And then he cuts Medusa's head off. It really is a group effort. Same in the TV show, but they basically replaced the sphere with the cap. @@itsyvonblitz6819
@@itsyvonblitz6819 In the books, Annabeth gives Percy the item he uses to look at Medusa's reflection, so it's very similar in that Annabeth gives him the method and he swings the sword. But in the book, Grover actually lands a few solid hits with a tree branch as a distraction, so I'd say Percy got more help there
Hades' kingdom isn't hell, it's the underworld. And it is not inherantly evil, we just think it is in modern times because of bad greek translations of the Bible using the world Hades (which is not only the name of the god but also of his kingdom) to refer to what we call Hell. Tbh Hades is one of the chillest gods as far as Olympians go. Much better than Zeus and Poseidon at any rate
I was going to comment on the same thing. The Underworld isn't hell. All souls go there after death and, based on the lives they lived, are then placed on different "levels" of the Underworld
I wouldn't say Chill for Hades. He is extremely strict when it comes to who enters the underworld, who gets out. There's a reason why the Greeks avoided invoking his name as much as possible. Hades is simply a fair and just ruler, that doesn't mean chill or kind.
Agreed. Justice for Hades.
@@RaixsOreh Plus Zeus gets a bad rep. Yeah he's a rapey man slut but so is nearly every God. He's also a pretty good king in terms of keeping the other Gods in check, stopping too much interference with the mortal realm (like the Troijan War where he kept having to stop Gods from fighting) and keeping laws of nature in balance, like when Helios's son nearly incinerated the earth by joyriding in his chariot.
He takes his responsibility as King of the Gods seriously. Great example is when Typhon was running about. Hades is described as "trembling where he rules over the dead below" while Zeus no hesitation goes out to stop the rampaging monster.
Shitty guy, as with all Gods, but a responsible king.
bro Hades was NOT chill at all wtf were you reading
Sending Medusa’s head to Olympus. Chefs kiss! My favourite moment!
The only thing I mourn from the movies is not getting more Nathan Fillion as Hermes, that was absolutely perfect casting. I'm curious where they go with Lin Manuel Miranda, I really enjoyed him in His dark materials.
And Stanley Tucci as Mr D.
Nathan Fillion is who my husband wants as Nathan Drake.
I like how this episode really shows the preoccupation with betrayal Percy had due to the prophecy
Yeah as I remember in the books Percy's fear on that line just goes away after the Medusa fight
13:54 they regenerate fully in Tartarus, so she will have a head and the Minotaur will have both horns
If I remember correctly, one version of the mythos is, Medusa was a priestess of Athena, and Poseidon 'defiled' her in Athenas temple. Which was one of the reasons for her ire., and subsequent punishment Which makes it even more tragic that she was punished and not Poseidon. there are two interpretations. 1 being that Athena punished her for breaking her vows [priestesses were supposed to be chaste], the other that Athena gave her the ability to never be taken advantage of by men ever again.
This is a Janci appreciation comment. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her smile makes my day better. Girl is having the time of her life watching this show and i am here for it.
I agree!
Jessica Parker Kennedy is just magnificent had me feeling some kinda way about Medusa
I loved her when she was XS but maaaan 🥵😮💨
I did NOT know it was JPK! Holy crap, how did I miss that? Granted, I was high out of my mind when i watched it, but still. She was incredible ❤️
13:53. Chiron explains it in th books. Monsters are 'archetypes', born frm th chaos n barbarism that alw exists beneath western civilization/th human world.This means that they are purely abstract entities. Monsters will merely reform in tartarus, th lowest region of th greek underworld, n come back whenever their physical forms are destroyed. 1 example is when percy kills asterion on his 1^ day realizing he is a half-blood. 4 years later, he sees th minotaur again. This proves to be an ordeal for heroes, for after a monster is killed it can reappear n attack again, in any time period btw days, weeks n hundreds of years. When killed, they usually turn to golden dust, yellow vapor or crumble to ashes. They forgot to explain it on th show, just like they forgot to explain why th greek Gods are in america
Medusa is the daughter of Keto (Goddess of Sea Monsters) and Phorcys (God of the Hidden Dangers of the Deep). She is also the mother of Pegasus and Chrysaor with Poseidon.
Medusa's body did make a dusting sound. I heard it clearly when watching with you guys, listen closely 🖖😎👍
This is the episode that really sold the series for me - I found myself really liking the acting more, and felt really drawn into the atmosphere. I also just love how the whole scene with Medusa was basically a mini-psychological horror film, with it just being full of an unsettling aura that really drew me in.
EDIT: Word choice.
My roommate and I have made blue cookies every Tuesday for each new episode. Words cannot express how much I am enjoying this show
Goals
I really wish they'd check His Dark Materials though, but Percy Jackson is nice in the meantime. ^^
I really loved His Dark Materials! Such a good HBO series. And Lin Manuel was in that too!
my second favorite episode of the series, first comes the new episode that just came out, which is great!
In fact, I had a lot of fun with your reactions. keep going!!
So hyped for this!
One more!! I love you guys reactions. It's weird cause one of my favorite scenes is him sending the head to Olympus 😂
Looking up the Medusa actress is when I found out Jessica Parker Kennedy played both Max and Nora.
the camp is on long island
Aaron mentioning the Panama Canal made me so happy! Love you guys, big fan from Panama 🇵🇦 🇵🇦 🇵🇦
The camp is in Long Island New York
Fun fact regarding medusas implied morality. The first statue in her basement is a woman w her hands extended as if to lift up a veil. a victim of the curse rather than a victim of medusas intentional murder. It's a bit of a mixed bag, a grey area even.
idk if it’s been said yet but some of the writers and the show runner are from black sails and they brought in bear mccreary to compose as well as some cast members so it’s safe to say this series is in GREAT hands
6:11 Actually, no; Medusa is supposed to be ugly: skin of scales, boar tusks, yellow eyes, sometimes a pair of wings and/or tail. Plus, in the original Greek version she was always considered a monster (the only mortal Gorgon, which she was compensated for with the petrifying gaze). The entire shift from that to 'disgraced priestess of Medusa seduced by/assaulted by Poseidon' was actually a Roman invention by Ovid, who hated government and projected that onto the gods in his stories. That being said, in that version, post-transformation Medusa is also considered ugly but for a different reason: so that no man or god looking (indirectly) at her would ever want to approach her again with ill intentions.
I think they meant Medusa was beautiful *before* being turned to a gorgon which is true
I’m gonna jump on this with my own “um actually” and point out that *wasn’t* the reason she became ugly in the Roman version, the idea of the curse actually protecting her is a very modern (and much better) idea- Metamorphoses does list Athena’s curse as “vengeance.” With Ovids anti-authoritarian stance, we are (debatably) supposed to sympathize with Medusa and dislike Athena. It would not make sense in that context for Athena to be trying to protect her from men with ill-intent.
@@PhantomForge1963 Alright, I'll take that ammendment. Thank you
I want to recommend the new AMC show Interview With The Vampire it's so amazing I would love to see Blind Wave react to it🥰
Medusa was a PRIESTESS of Athena in old Athens.
Janci repping California, let's go 😎🤟
Janci is so cute, I've already watched multiple reactions but I'll watch it again with you guys just for her lol
i like how they portrayed medusa
The role reversal between heroes and monsters is a massive spoiler for both the end of the first book and someone that shows up in the second, so that's not going to get explained right away. Being a book reader I got what they were trying to foreshadow but to say more would ruin a whole lot about the story lol
Also I think that line has a lot to do with the theme of generational trauma/breaking bad family cycles that they're going for. Just because the gods are their parents doesn't automatically make them the good guys. It's behavior and choices that ultimately determine whether you're more monster or hero, not what you look like or what you were born into. I liked that they used Medusa as a cautionary tale for what Percy could become if he chooses a certain path - both of them were wronged by the gods but Medusa chose to use the trauma as an excuse to hurt people, whereas Percy can still choose to act differently. If he doesn't, there's a possibility he could become just as bad as his relatives, and again, that whole idea of cyclical behavior is a very big hint towards something later
Camp Half Blood is in eastern Long Island.
Medusa is not a monster, she is a survivor !
Just a curiosity for you guys:
The story of Poseidon taking advantage of medusa and then the punishment from Athena is not true! Or at least, not entirely true. xD
The first historical evidence of medusa being mentioned in greek mythology is from Hesiod's theogony, in which it is told that she was already born a gorgon along with her two immortal sisters (she was the only mortal of them). And there is no mention of a relationship between her and Poseidon in this story.
So in classical greek mythology she was always a monster and was never punished by Athena because of something Poseidon did.
Now, the story from "modern greek mythology" we all know today where she was abused by Poseidon and later turned into a gorgon by Athena is believed to be created by the romans, possibly in an attempt to defame the image of the greek gods (as if it was necessary to defame even more LOL xD)
There is also the (most likely) possibility that because her story had little background information, these events were added along with time, as the story was told by different people and cultures.
I guess we'll never know how the story came to be the way we know today, but I think it is fun to also know the true origin of Medusa xD
It's really cool to have Janci's perspective on this! (Since she has tead the books)
Echidna and Medusa got together and created weeping angels.
5:51 NORA!!!!!😍😍😍
Hey guys will we See a Reaction to the official the Ones who live Trailer that came out today ? I would love that
nice
“Oh my god she’s hot” my reaction to seeing Jessica Parker Kennedy as Medusa.
The discussion towards the end about if Zeus could get him on the ground. Genuine question, since he doesn't have the master bolt, can he even produce lightning?
I just noticed that since Percy is a child of the big three (forbidden child), that means all the campers are his first cousins once removed. Luke and Annabeth are and Mr. D, Athena, and Clarices' father Ares are his Cousins
none of the campers are related by dna
@@penguin50279 actually some especially those born from a Godwould be blood related. They may be half-siblings but Blood nonetheless
@@eragon400 the gods don’t pass on dna so if we’re gonna get technical, no one at camp is related by blood. the kids just don’t date from the same cabin because it’s weird
in book 5 of the series during the battle of manhattan youll get your answer to the minotaur dusting question
"he should've chosen luke" they clearly havent read the books 🤣
Why would she say “Hermes” when we saw Lin Manuel?! Was that obvious for everyone that he was Hermes? Because I didn’t get that until the casino ep
Medusa: Alecto, haven't we already played this scene?
I didnt know Jessica Parker, the actress who played Nora West Allen on The Flash was Medusa! That's awesome
Imo the reason why the Underworld is in LA is cause of all the earthquakes, so it makes sense that something would be just under the surface. That's what's implied in the books.
Actually, chiron says that th entrance to th underworld has alw been in th west, in mythological times it was beyond th pillars of hercules, along th banks of th world-river, today it's in LA. It's all symbolic, olympus which represents th power of life is to th east, where th sun rises, while th kingdom of death is on th opposite side, to th west. It's like this in many mythologies, even amos in th 'th kane chronicles' trilogy tells th grandparents of th protagonists that th west side of th nile is th land of th dead, while th east side is reserved for th living
@@Gradestar10 Yes that's true, but they could've picked any city that's in the west based off that. So for picking a specific city based on that precedent of needing something on the west cost of the country, it makes sense that Rick picked one that's famous for earthquakes. I won't spoil anything in case there's any non-book readers reading this, but towards the end of the book Percy mentions as the ground shakes that this feels like just another normal occurrence to the mortals living in LA. So western location + known for earthquakes = a perfect spot for the Underworld.
2:48: Long Island Sound
If I remember correctly Medusa is considered a titan (?)
eric gotta focus on those reactions and not the post reaction activities :P lol but was another fun reaction!~
please also watch the blind series, pleaseee
It's been a while since I read the books. It seems mostly accurate tho I wish they added in Annabeths crush on Luke.
Not a vital point, but California does make a heck ton of wine.
Love Janci on these reactions.
Well done, no other notes.
Is there such a thing as a master bait? Fishing is funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have no idea they changed the sequence of events from book to show. In the book they don’t willingly go into Medusa’s lair because they don’t know who it is. Here they realize it’s dangerous and figure it out before even seeing Medusa but go on in anyway to avoid Alecto? They’ve killed Alecto and her sister with very little issue up until now. Also why is Percy gazing around manhattan like he’s never seen it before
they’re in new jersey which he’s presumably never been to before.
@@penguin50279 I’m referring to when they are in the cab driving to the bus terminal. Regardless a 12 year old spent all his life in New York hasn’t been to jersey?
@@jonwoodall881 maybe he just wants to look around? maybe he didn’t live in that part of new york it’s not that deep. and some people who live in one place don’t see the surrounding cities and towns lmao . i’ve lived in FL my entire life and never been to tallahassee and most of the surrounding cities
Medusa was some kind of priestess of Athena, she and posiedon got caught doing greek things in Athena's temple and Athena punished her and her sisters
Monsters regenerate in Tartarus, that's why they get dusted. Once regenerated they escape Tartarus to hades then go to the mortal realm to get a life.
Aaron thinking about looting Goat Cheese from a Goat he killed, Skyrim style...
Please react to saltburn!!!
If they like Nathan Fillion, they should watch Castle if they haven’t
Mosters usually turn to sulfur dust and regenerate in hell. So i think anyone turned to stone is not able to be regenerated
For people complaining that she spoiled Lin playing Hermes:
He is the delivery man for Hermes Delivery, knows where the gods live and can access them, and seems to be on friendly terms with them. It’s not that hard to figure out.
He is literally the messenger of the gods. Yeah he would be the only one to deliver a package to the 600th floor. And she didn't actual spoil that. I heard Aaron ask.
I mean, it is still spoiling, especially for people less familiar with the world or Greek mythology. Granted, this is hardly the most egregious spoiler she's given, and the show itself spoiled that review in the subtitles as well.
"LA is nice" 💀💀💀💀
Ummmmmmm.... Medusa not being defeated by an iPhone?????
It's clear that the only one of you guys that have read the books is Janci and probably the only reason why you guys are reacting to this, but I feel things would be a lot better if Janci didn't constantly spoil stuff seconds before it's about to happen.
Yeah I don’t understand how none of them read these but your correct she is ruining these
I'm pretty sure they started reacting to this because it has a lot of fame now and they assumed that if they start reacting to it, they will get a lot of new viewers/subscribers. Which is smart. And Aaron also watched the movies, but I don't think he read the books. But yeah, luckily I know the books and I know what's going on, but Janci spoiling stuff seconds before they happen (or just spoil something that will be revealed in the future, like Lin Manuel playing Hermes, which wasn't said in the show) is frustrating and I would be furious if I didn't know the story. Love her enthusiasm, but damn, it should be stopped before she'll say something really important.
How is she spoiling stuff? She’s filling in things that already have been explained that point in the books and adds more info. She doesn’t spoil the stuff before it happens
I love her and love the discussions after the episodes but yeah saying the things as they are about to happen kinda kills the surprises
What did she spoil in this episode? Read your comment first and was looking out for it but there wasn't anything lol.
6:08 NO, exactly the opposite!! that's why you'd turn to stone....
It feels like you guys are talking a lot more during the percy jackson reactions than other reactions
i was just thinking this. they’re missing so much info because of talking
@penguin50279 right? And it's so weird to me to see them act like the normies. They balance way better the watching with talking. But idk what's happening with these PCJO reactions
Okay... Medusa is not a Demi-god, she lived in the time where Greek gods were worshipped that's how she knew about Athena. But she's not a half blood because regardless of who her parent would be, Poseidon being with her would almost be like an uncle sleeping with his niece... so no
React on Bahubali movie
I find so weird that they hinted so heavily that Medusa was a sympathetic character just to have her actually be an evil monster.
She’s not just an evil monster. She offered Percy her help and would have genuinely helped him because she saw they shared similar circumstances being abandoned by Poseidon. She clearly felt sympathy for Percy, Sally, and even Annabeth. She recognized that Annabeth was also wronged by Athena. However her resentment got the better of her and she of course took it too far. That doesn’t make her a monster, it makes her a sympathetic and tragic character.
She can be sympathetic and monstrous at the same time. Two things can be true at once, which I think is the point. She’s an excellent example as to why people need to process their trauma and emotions.
media literacy is in the shitter. we are so doomed lmao
@@wishteria_ but wasn’t she petrifying innocent people alongside monsters, regarles of her personal stance to Percy I don’t think there was a moral reason to petrify Ferdinand.
@@Isshindzahul She seemed to be bitter and volatile. It's possible those people started off as guests but did something to upset her!
Maybe Zeus can't do shit without his masterbolt
The Underworld is not Hell
Medusa story is a bad one. She had 2 other sisters but her part was she was a maiden in Athena temple but Poseidon forced him self on in the temple. Here a better explain on it But why was Medusa cursed? A woman of notable beauty, Medusa was pursued by the sea god Poseidon. Medusa fled from Poseidon and arrived at a shrine to Athena, but Poseidon entered anyway and violated the woman. Athena blamed Medusa for her own suffering and for violating the sacred space by turning her into a monster.
Are you gonna continue Kung fu Panda?
Day 1 asking you guys to react to Alice in Borderlands (S tier series, better than squid game)
Walking dead trailer reaction?
LA isn't nice. The traffic is horrible there's no public Transit and way too hot in the summer. Also, I think the gods have a sense of irony and putting "hell" in a city named the angels. 🤣🤣
Very third world. Homelessness rate is ridiculous. Everything is super expensive (gas prices were at $7.99 at one point) and the air is disgustingly foul smelling with an exorbitant amount of vape and drugs that triggers my asthma and old fashioned values. I can’t go anywhere without smelling it. 🤮 I also prefer east coast culture and history, the dense wooded wilderness. The old town vibes in so many cities. And yeah driving sucks in LA.
There is public transit in LA I live there for 7 months with no car.
FIRST
Why are these so short 😫
because they watched the first 4 episodes in a day. So short discussion . So maybe after episode 5 or 6 it will be long
stop saying grover betrayed percy my godddddddddd

still subbed, really enjoying the videos, just an interesting subject
Well thats kinda weird take tbh...
@@asiimov16 dont remember where I asked
@@thomasroark7984 its above my comment. The thing with 1like and now 4 commments.
So far, this episode has been my least favourite, the books version is just a lot better.
As blasphemous as this may be I think the Medusa sequence is one of the exceedingly few sequences the movie did better 💀using the phone as a replacement for the mirror shield of Perseus was fun (even if yeah, its product placement) and though the intentions are admirable the Medusa "i was always the victim" narrative didn't get the breathing room I think it needed to get into the more screwed up implications of it (also strange its following Ovid's Roman take on the story rather than the Ancient Greek one 🤔). The actress did a great job and I loved her costume however so good for her :)
you mean the scene where he kills medusa with an … ipod 🧍🏾♀️
@@user-gg1on7xc6v yeah again, product placement i know but it did fit the whole "Ancient myths clashing with the modern world" gimmick
+ them not instantly realizing what they walked in to fit better in the movie imo
Except that sequence in the movie goes totally against established book lore, even if it was fun to watch. If I recall correctly, demigods couldn't carry or use electronic devices because that was luring in more monsters to them. That's why throughout the books they never use a regular phone, they only call through Iris. I am honestly curious how will they handle that in TV show, since they didn't mention it up till now. Same with ambrosia and nectar. Although they might finally mention them because I was a bit sceptical that there was no talk of celestial bronze either but the newest episode touched upon that fortunatelly.
@@annafirnen4815 fair but Annabeth putting the invisibility cap on Medusa pre-decapitation and them instantly figuring out Auntie Em was Medusa wasn't in the book either. That being said it is a good point, the constant use of electronics in that movie (Luke had a whole ass gamer pad 😭) was very strange
One of the true stories of Medusa is kinda sad actually, she was praying to Athena when Poseiden SA'ed her in Athena's temple, Athena was in love with Poseidon I think, and it happened in Athena's sacred temple, Athena decided that Medusa was more beautiful than her, otherwise why would he want to be with Medusa and not her, she also believed that Medusa had dishonored her in the temple she decided to curse her and told her it was for her own protection so no man would lay a hand on her ever again.
That's one story. Most myths have different versions (and those versions go on to have many different interpretations), so calling this the "true story" isn't really accurate
Thats my prefered one, but its not the true story, there are so many versions of the myth
That is not the "true" story. Far from it actually. It's the Roman version. Romans hated the Greeks so they made their own myths, or tweaked existing ones, that shamed the Greek gods and framed them as bad. It's one version of the myth.
In the actual Greek myths (not Roman) she was always a monster, born to Phorcys and Keto.
In th books th relationship btw medusa n poseidon was consensual, w/ her feeling honored to have attracted th attentions of a man like him. Athena cursed her cause she was her priestess who took a vow of casitity, but then instead she had sex w/ poseidon on her altar
This is the most average bullshit Netflix show Disney put out so far.
this is the episode where i was like.. alright
And then proceeded to take 3 separate days to finish the episode. Medusa scenes felt so.. not correct and or forced
Everything about this show looks aesthetically right but feels wrong. They don’t act like their book counterparts, and the scenes just don’t hit like they should.
@@symbuhh7651 I first thought it was the actors that made me feel this way, due to most of them being relatively new, but the more I watched, the more I realized it was actually the dialogue that made everything feel off and disingenuous. It feels stilted, and 99% of the characters talking are just dumping world-building. Like, we can see it rather than it being spoon-fed into our mouths by the characters, you know? Even for non-book readers. Even Walker (Percy), who I think is a great actor and has appeared next to the greats like Ryan Reynolds, is struggling a bit with the dialogue given to him.
@@Circiely yeah i completely agree. the writing is so compressed and it 70% of it is exposition (ep5 today frustrated me so much because of this every dialogue was literally exposition) and a lot of it is to be blamed on direction as well at times.
what the person you replied to said about characters not feeling like their book counterparts tho i disagree with. they do, but yes a lot gets lost in "translation." for one the books were percy's pov so there were more quips and humor, they felt like a 12+ year old talking. here, apart from a couple scenes of fortnight dancing and choosing candies, they dont really act much like 12y/o. i get that they have a lot on their shoulders and they are a bit mature for their age in certain aspects but the book still made sure to make a point that they were literal pre-teens. them being unaware of their surroundings, being unable to recognize medusa and getting manipulated by her, throwing random remarks here and there kept that childlike spirit alive. here, someone could easily suspect them to atleast be 14-15 if they didnt know about their supposed age within the show (really doesnt help that walker looks older than 12 already)
but all in all, the show is hella running thru storylines just to tick boxes for book readers. and that is when they''re lucking their world-building knowledge isn't all that new and is largely based on actual greek mythos. still big kudos to these kids for pulling it off
@@Circielyya know, you're on to something. It's a ton of world building, and even tho we still have a bunch more still to go, I think it's being a little rushed. The majority of the plot has been simply explaining the mechanics and the lore rather than actual plot. For people who have already read the books, it's alright because we know this stuff and we're just sitting like "oh yeah, that's important to know for later", while everyone else who hasn't read the books are being blasted by tons of info and they don't know what to do with it. Both viewer povs are being hindered from fully enjoying this live action phenomenon.
@@alkavonstra5479 And the thing is, while we both agree on everything being rushed I STILL don’t feel the urgency that yknow- Zeus is gonna unleash war within the week. A war that’s gonna basically be the apocalypse…there’s no sense of urgency- hell even the movies nail the panic the characters, and viewers, are supposed to feel. On the first episode when Sally and Percy were saying their goodbyes they just stood there for like- 5 minutes in the rain after being attacked with the minotaur roaring menacingly in the background. Hell- he might of even been waiting for them to finish up their long winded emotional talk.
I still utterly despise the changes they made to Anabeth and Percy’s characters. Anabeth is supposed to be smart and caring but the show made her a complete uncaring soulless b***h with zero redeeming qualities. Percy is supposed to be funny, and cares about friends above all else but this show makes him stupid and treats his “friends” terribly. And Grover they butchered in the first episode when he betrayed Percy immediately.
If you read the book again, you will realize that Percy is actually a very reserved/quiet person. He's only "funny" in the book because of the thoughts he has. Everything that happens is from his perspective, as he is the narrator. Also, Annabeth and Percy argued a lot in the book too, they didn't become friends overnight
You must have not seen the latest episodes or payed attention if you think Annabeth is just cold, and not sweet, in this 3rd episode she even tries finding candy they would like so they would like her, and in the 4th and 5th episode it shows her really opening up to Percy. She's only cold in beginning like the books because her childhood friend got turned into a tree, she ran away from her dad and stepmom when she was 7, and she can't trust anyone except Luke, she only has Luke. She's mature for her age because of what she had to endure and she's even the cabin leader even tho she is just 12. In the beginning of The Lightning Thief book, Annabeth is shown to dislike Percy when she discovers that Percy is the hero of the prophecy. She thinks he is weak and unable to complete his mission, and is influenced by the rivalry between her mother, so the show really shows this well. Also it helps to showcase the slow build up of Percy and Annabeth's relationship through the 5 books.
