Oh yeah, another episode! You love to see it! This time we meet Medusa, hate on the gods, and see what has changed from book to screen for episode three. Enjoy.

When the oracle gave the prophecy in the book, it created an illusion of Gabe playing poker with his "friends", and each of them spoke a line.
Yeah, but the friends aren’t in this, so give credit that it appears as babe, and not as just the oracle itself/visions. It’s really cool that they did that
Medusa is one of those controversial figures since her origin story can either tell her as a victim or just as guilty as Poseidon. Given that he's her uncle (and another god), it's unsurprising that Athena can't punish him as much as she'd probably like.
Or just a monster
He is an elder Olympian and she's a younger one, the only younger Olympian who beats elder Olympians is Hephaestus (through the power of prep time) maybe if Athena teamed up with Hephaestus.
The original Medusa myth, she and the other gorgons were always monsters never human
@@patrickmcguire7896 true
@@berengustav7714 Honestly, I actually forgot about that myth. I assume you're talking about the myths where Hephaestus traps Hera in her own throne, or when he traps Ares and Aphrodite while they're... wrestling.
BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD
Hades sent the furies to bring Percy to the underworld, and that’s where the trio are going anyway. I think Alecto is just watching making sure Percy is the one who has the helm of darkness, and since he thinks Percy has it he just wants Percy to come to the underworld, so Alecto is just there to get them on track and watch for now. I think that’s why Alecto isn’t attacking the trio and letting them get away.
Alecto was tasked to get the lightning bolt and hades helm of darkness. I don't recall them attacking the trio, I'm pretty sure Hades made explicit order for them to be alive. Hades was depicted more likeable in the books. What he said to percy when asked why he would want war between gods makes him sound like he's just too busy trying to keep order in underworld to care about gaining more power. The only time he's shown to be power hungry is in the final book when he tried to trap percy so that Nico can be the saviour of olympus but it was explained he only did that because he wants respect from the olympians, it's more about respect than power. Even then he came through in the end.
Oh, I thought Annabeth was having dyslexia issues when she was looking over the candy.
Finally! Great review! It’s been challenging finding thoughtful reactions/reviews.
I think she was😂😅
I was genuinely surprised that they portrayed Medusa much closer to the actual myth than the movie did. I mean they still kept out a lot since this is Disney and PG but I hope it's a sign they'll make the characters, especially the gods, more complex.
I wonder if after they kill Medusa her two children will appear, who just so happen to be Percy's half-brothers
@@johanroyce6324Percy getting to interact with Pegasus and Chrysaor would be awesome.
@@johanroyce6324 I would agree, except they both also show up in Heroes of Olympus.
thats not the original myth tho. im pretty sure its considered the newer Medusa myth. theres been plenty, some with her always being a monster, some where she was normal, but has 2 gorgon sisters, one where posiden seduces her, and another wherew she seduces posiden.
@@virtualdominus5504 The myth that I'm aware of is the one where she was a victim of Poseidon's lust and Athena's cruelty. But I understand there are other myths surrounding Medusa. I was just surprised they didn't make it so black and white like they did in the movie.
I really love what they did with Medusa in the show i love the part where she tells annabeth that she loved athena just like her it implies that medusa is a demigod child Athena and i also love the part where medusa says her and Percy's mother are like sisters and that she feels protective over percy and that implies medusa might have met sally which explains why sally defended medusa when she taught percy about Persuas
I think the scene with Annabeth shopping was more that she realized that she couldn’t read the English on the candy’s so she had no plan what she is buying 😅
I thought it was because she was on the run from an early age and didn't get to have a typical childhood. For instance, having a favorite flavor/ color of candy, so she was struggling to pick which would be the best choice.
This episode was great, and I much prefer Medusa's characterisation in this adaptation. I do wonder how they'll go about Percy's jump off the bridge next episode and whether it makes Percy like his dad more or if they are sticking to making the gods seem terrible.
Don’t forget about the fact the Gateway arch is a couple thousand feet away from the Mississippi River, it’s not something one can just jump to, so it’ll be interesting how they show that.
@@TheIndianDeityThis always made me wonder when I read the books, because the arch is so far away from the water. Hopefully the series will make it make sense
@@tri_iris6890 rick apparently said that while writing the book he thought the arch was closer to the water haha, I'm curious how they'll do it too!
@@TheIndianDeityactually, the arch is right next to the river if you look at the map, so he could fall into the river from the arch
@@deadpooldan9862 I know it looks close, and that’s what Rick thought too, but like there’s a mile between, it’s just not possible. Look up a picture and you’ll see what I mean
It seems implied to me that Medusa's true story is unknown, hence the multiple versions. Medusa says one thing, and Annabeth accuses her of lying. Then Medusa claims Athena's version was a lie. Both Medusa and Athena would naturally want to portray themselves as good guys, so for all we know they both could be lying.
I feel like this show is removing or not showing the hard aspects of the series just to make it PG instead of PG-13 like Gabe beating Percy‘s mom and medusa‘s head getting chopped off.
That’s what I think. It doesn’t take away from the story…so far.
I mean he still is obviously abusive and Percy did say that she isn’t safe. Medusa’s head obviously got chopped off, it’s just invisible.
@@KazKindred613actually, I think that was pretty smart, because if you can’t see her, she can’t turn you to stone, so turning her invisible and chopping her head off while she’s distracted is smart
@@deadpooldan9862I’m gonna be honest, when I saw that scene I went “that so much better than what they did in the books!” They just copy what original Perseus did in the books, and the movie has him looking in a reflection anyway. The invisibility cap was much better, a gift of Athena negating a curse of Athena. Plus Percy does the Perseus pose w Medusa’s head anyway so the parallel to the original Perseus wasn’t lost.
They never showed Gabe beating Sally. The whole book is in Percy’s perspective and Percy didn’t even know about it until the end when Gabe raised his hand to Sally and she flinched.
This is the best episode by far. I loved how they talked about monsters as they slowly showed the furies. The whole transition from that to Medusa was beautiful, and that portrayal of Medusa is honestly better than the book. The best part, however, is LIN MANUEL MIRANDA HUMMING ARTHUR’S THEME BY CHRISTOPHER CROSS AND THEN THE OUTRO PLAYING IT IN FULL!!!!
I am literally almost in tears over this as it is one of my most favorite songs from when I was little and it has been especially interesting with me being a gen z teen growing up with and listening to that era of music way more than anything else my generation listens too. In fact, one of the only songs from this past decade I actually listen to is Riptide🤣. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that Christopher cross music would be in Percy Jackson! It makes perfect sense with the elevator playing that style of music both in the books and the show but I am just overjoyed! Now my generation will actually be aware of that song, as I have yet to meet a single person my age that knows who Christopher cross is. But now they will
Yes, the Oracle speaks through an illusion of Gabe in the books as well
1:05 - I'm pretty sure it happened in the book albeit I don't fully remember it. I'm glad Grover and Annabeth noticed and figured out Medusa as it always did annoy me that Percy and Annabeth ignored Grover's warnings that he smelt a monster. I'm digging the new interpretation of Medusa, her story has always given a massive leeway for a different variety of characterizations.
Yeah it was Gabe also in the book (sorry if I spelled the name wrong )
Their judgment was clouded. They were hungry and tired.
The oracle projecting Gabe (or, in this book, "the Poker squad") is one of those weird early book things that never comes back up again. Although, to be fair, several of the PJO prophecies were told off-page to characters other than Percy, so the only other time we get to see the dead oracle tell a Prophecy is in the Titan's Curse when she hobbled out into the forest. Maybe she wasn't feeling so fancy then. Either way, it's a fun inclusion here with full visuals.
I guess once in TTC she was addressing a crowd she didn’t channel anyones specific memories, but I like to think when Annabeth got her prophecy she saw her stepmom (tho it’s never actually mentioned but I like to think that was the case)
I mean the Oracle is a mummified corpse inhabited by a ghost until Rachel assumes the role as host, so I doubt it really mattered much when she was kept
First of all Medusa is an icon and a new fav character of mine. And at the beginning when Percy was supposed to choose his quest buddies it just cracked me up that they were just standing there like npcs
5:28 It's one of those bits in the show that's less explicit, but I think it's implied Percy was told Empire State Builiding = Mt. Olympus during the car ride. The montage synched up a lot of the visuals with Grover's speech (like showing NYC when he mentioned empires) and when he mentioned Olympus, we were shown a reflection of the ESB in the car.
We see it in the end anyway, Hermes goes into the Empire State Building, goes to floor 600 and the elevator voice says “Olympus hallway” or smth similar with Olympus in it.
@swarithchinta4118 True too.
I feel bad for Grover he’s been given the hardest cases back to back First tholya (Zeus’s daughter) and now Percy it completely Unfair
I don’t know if it is spelled differently in other countries, or if you have only seen the show, but her name is spelled “Thalia.”
I’m not trying to be rude, I apologize if it came off that way. I just thought it would be helpful to know when it came to discussing the show/book😊
next he also gets nico and bianca
And they're hades's kids like he's collecting the golden kids @@AleenaZafar-mj1fm
@@Reynbow11037 that’s all good it’s dyslexia and I was too lazy to search it up so I just put Zeus‘s daughter because I knew I was writing it wrong
Hey but it means I’m a demigod let’s go let’s go
he definitely packed those snacks. he just ate them. 😂
1:52 the oracle isn't really a person, it's a spirit that possesses it's corpse when it's needed, she is good where she is lmao
Medusa definitely is one of those controversial figures in mythology mostly depicted as the villain. Also talked about how athena punished her because obviously, he could not do it to her own uncle.
But one could also argue that athena didn’t really meant to punish medusa but gave her something to protect her so that no one could ever take advantage of her. Sorta like a self defense. You could look it in a way that it is either a curse or a gift.
But the way this series highlighted the narrative from medusa is genius. You’ll always go back to what Sally Jackson said at the beginning of the series: “Not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero, and not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster.”
Genius!!!
If you can't hate Athena or the gods in general one time someone walked in Athena while bathing on accident and she blinded him even though it was just an accident. One time Zeus actually had an affair with Persophone his brothers wife and his own daughter.
There was a hunter of Artemis who got cursed by Aphrodite to get pregnant by a bear and Artemis ended up turning her into one after finding out because her hunters can’t have romantic or sexual relationships with anyone. And there’s way too much that Zeus has done that really shouldn’t be said because he’s the worst, and cause almost as many problems as other people fix because he can’t be bothered, and I say almost because people end up fixing more of the problems he causes
In some versions Zeus disguised as Hades to trick Persephone into having sex with him, where Persephone never knew she wasn’t sleeping with her husband…
Artemis ended in a similar situation than Athena but it's worst because instead of blinding him she turn him into an animal that she then hunted with his own dogs, then she keept the dogs
I love the fact that they went full in on the Ovid version of the Medusa, because if they're are going to do that version they might as well not sugar coat it.
I like the original more because its more faithful to the original myths. This Medusa is good for storytelling, considering that ALL the greek stories are supposed to be real, I just think the original is more accurate to the character.
They did a good job setting up the dichotomy between Percy Jackson and Annabeth two demigod children making examples for their godly parents of changing their flaws and becom real parents at the end of the series adapted by the books.
Always good to hear about the deep insight we can get from Annabeth's decision-making scene. I was a bit pre-occupied with BIGOOF itself to be honest, wasn't thinking as hard about it.
No the oracle didn't turn into gabe an amazing change which turns a really serious scene more light-hearted
I was wondering about the black Pegasus, too, but if they are staying true to the books Blackjack won’t be introduced until Percy rescues him from Luke on the Princess Andromeda :)
I would have preferred they have Annabeth make the comment about the empire state building. She would *know* Olympus was there AND itd be great exposition of her wanting to become an architect.
I like how the central conflict of the series is being set up up so much already, it will help making the story as a whole seem more cohesive
The unearned thing bothered me too. I think the reason was that the editing/directing was a bit off. They SHOULD have found Grovers uncle first Percy and Annabeth should have their heart to heart and after thnat they should have come up with a plan to murder Medusa. More tension that way.
Happy New Year, Smarty Pants! ❤😊🎉
5:11 best guess is that Zeus is trying to save his own neck from the prophesy, she can't reach 16 as a tree
for sure looking forword to future episodes
❤ Awesome as always thanks
Give Grover some slack. He found two kids of the trios and brought them to the camp safely. He also brought two ohter kids. 3 out of 4 is really good considering how they were chaised down constantly. Also Thalia decided to stay back and give her friends time to get to safety.
The green smoke from the oracle did portray Gabe in the books too.
10:33 as fans of the books probably know, and doesn't excuse their behaviour, is that the olympians don't have the best relationships with their bastard children. in fact, I'm getting the impression that aside from claiming them most of them just give them a gift and that's that.
I don’t know if the series will change anything, but if they do follow more or less the books: one of the best god parents is hades, no matter if you have him as your favorite or not. And I must admit I share a bit of your posture with Athena
Could you review the animated movie the prince of egypt?
You should really put spoiler warnings when you mention stuff from the book since not everyone has read the books. Loved your analysis though.
Medusa's story does bring up a good point about mortal and god relationships: even if she did consent to sleep with Poseidon, she never really had the option to say no. Poseidon was supposed to be the god of the seas and the earth-shaker. He was known to also have a terrible temper (look at the bs Odysseus was put through after he displeased him). He wasn't very good with rejection either since his wife, Amphitrite, actually refused to marry him, which pissed him off so severely entire islands drowned until Zeus forced her mother to tell her where she went. Given all these factors and that Medusa was a mortal woman living on an island nation versus a god who can drown islands just by being mad enough to do it, there was at least a significant power dynamic that makes any relationship between them...questionable.
Miraculous ladybug question... How did Liyla find out hawkmoth/Monarch is Gabriel Agrest am confused I just watched episode 124 and I never skipped any episode bro
Explain!!!!
2:30 it's like how all the futurama characters are telling fry that what he thought was a post-apocalyptic setting of new new york was just la
Gabe and his poker buddies have Percy his prophecy in the book!!
I don't get why everyone is telling him he needs to warn them of spoilers beforehand, he literally says "book spoilers" in the beginning like c'mon guys, you're spoiling it for yourselves by not clicking off the video.
Miss Peregrine when Bronwen's brother is murdered:
has his body laid his own bed, with the room left as he left it, the door locked off from the rest of the house.
Chiron when the Oracle dies and the spirit doesnt pass on:
idk, just throw her in the attic.
But Chiron, thats a little unceremonious-
Then give her an armchair, idk geez
glad i read the books before watching. PUT A SPOILER WARNING IN THE TITLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVENT IF YOUR GONNA BLAST THE ENDING IN A REVIEW OF THE THIRD EPISODE!!!
It’s amazing! Because Medusa isn’t bad. Yes, she was cursed. She was a victim of the gods playing around, as most of mortals/demigods/creatures in mythology is. The “not everyone who looks like a…” line is the greatest thing they have added into the story so far imo. It’s planting the seeds for Percy’s conflict later. In the books it’s a way more subtle and slow thing how Percy is realizing that the gods aren’t really good, whereas here it’s way more straightforward which I think is great because the gods aren’t good, and if Percy should really struggle with the choice Luke gives him to join his side, the gods need to be actually portrayed that way.
I like how this adaptation is even breaking more of the stereotypes. The book at least redeems Hades, and later on other creatures, but the movie basically plays into every greek mythology stereotype that has ever existed.
I could write a whole essay about why systemically change after such a story is necessary and it’s important to start showing bad things gods do early on, but I don’t have the time
I think he did turn into Gabe in the books but I'm not 100% sure because it's been over a decade since I read them.
I overall enjoyed the episode but i feel like they beat Medusa way to easy. (Non book reader)
Honestly, the fact that Percy beats Medusa at 12 in one chapter in the first book felt unbelievably too easy there too 😅 it’s a fan favorite moment though because of how percy then sends Medusa’s head to Olympus… so it’s more about what happens afterwards and how it establishes his impertinent personality then about the monster in my eyes. I think the author wishes that he made this monster more of a big boss for a later book but he didn’t know the book would be this successful lol
So the chat with Medusa here has a really good payoff on the next episode and I think that very cool.
I hate Athena and u had me rolling😂 I'm not paying child support
It was kinda weird that once she called it a blessing and 10 seconds later a curse
dont you love it when you decide to watch a show, and are excited about it and loving it, but are yet to have a book, then you get 2 major plot points spoiled to you episode 3 when you thought you were just gunna be watching a review and not a "which in the future is revealed to be"?!??!?!? so much fun
No all the gods suck. The “best”
Literally manipulated his mentality ill son when he was vulnerable for personal gain. And he is considering the nicer ones in comparison??? And no I am not considering Apollo cause he loves Meg a thousand more times then he love any of his children. Also he got a whole book to shape him into a decent person, and make him realize the gods suck.
Agree with most your points but I think youve confused Annabeths parents, I really like this but in the book she describes them as horrible but when we meet them in the 3rd theyre awesome. I'm upset Gabes not mean though it was something that helped me as a kid cuz I related to Percy a lot with it.
how did people not see annabeth disappear in front of them?
The Mist (which I think they explained at some point) is supposed to make mortals see unexplainable things in a way that makes sense to them. Basically any monster, god, mythological creature or use of magical powers will either be completely warped in their mind to resemble something normal or will not appear visible at all. The people on the bus are not seeing Annabeth disappear because the Mist is messing up their perception of reality
The one thing that Rick is constantly bad at is geography, the "forests" that are right across from New York city are much further upstream.
Having not read the books I'm enjoying it... I do wish they'd let Percy & the audience figure things out though, rather than having Grover or Annabeth jump is and explain everything
I also find the lack of reaction from the general public to property damage really jarring, is that somehow hidden by the mist too?!
Happy to see some non-book fans enjoying the show! Not sure if this is a spoiler but in the books, Percy tends to be blamed for all property damage that takes place because of monster attacks… the mist really hates him! 😅
This was the best episode so far
Honestly, I didn’t like this change one bit. More specifically, how they really tone down her death.
Not so great. "Aunt Em's Garden Emporium" but they have their confrontation with her in a basement. Nowhere does it say she could control fire. Grover is supposed to smell monsters so he and Annabeth should have already been on edge about who Aunt Em might be. We feel only pity for Uncle Ferdinand. Grover doesn't take it hard, because his uncle's been missing a long time, and presumed dead, so he likely had his grief some time ago.
Athena cannot revenge the desecration of her temple on Poseidon because he's another god. She can't touch him, IOW. So she takes it out on Medusa. But there are several stories of Medusa 1) she was always a monster, 2) she's a cautionary tale about vanity 3) she was a willing partner with Poseidon, 4) she was an unwilling partner of Poseidon, 5) the curse was a gift to protect her from males like Poseidon in the future/the curse was a curse for messing around in Athena's Temple/She always looked like that. Pick your tale. Riordan is going with Ovid's Roman version apparently and not the Greek version - Hesiod?
Im ngl, even when reading the books in middle school, I used to wonder why they were even defending the gods besides being their kids. I think Riordan straight up says at one point that the gods arent good they are just a better alternative than the comically and inherently mustache twirling evil titans and giants. Kinda makes me think that Luke's stance of replacing the gods as the new gen sounds like a better alternative. I didnt like any of the gods in the books besides maybe Hermes, Hephaetus and Hestia because they are atleast self aware of their shiteness and admit it openly. Zeus is just straight up evil, Poseidon from his past and poseidon in the present feel like completely different people because past poseidon is a bad dude and current poseidon is made of marble, Athena is just straight up mean and petty, Apollo is a narcisitic idiot, Ares is even more evil, Hera is actually refreshingly candid about her badness, Artemis is a self righteous misandrist, Aphrodite is a sociopath, Hades is literally Hitler's dad allegedly but during the current day not even close to being the worst olympian I actually never got why hades is bad he just wears black and he rules the underworld which is his job, he actually seems like one of the better ones (ironic that he's the only one who held up the oath for forbidden children), Demeter is an NPC with a mom complex and very petty and cruel, Dionysus is bloody Dionysus. Hermes and Hephaestus seem like the only people i'd like to be around, and im pretty sure Hestia dosent wanna hang around anyone.
Rick confirmed that hitler was not a demigod, so hades was th father of only th other 2 axis leaders, benito mussolini of fascist italy n th emperor hirohito of imperial japan
Hades is not the worst but he is not a saint either: he sent monsters to kill a child who is not responsible of her birth and he is responsible for the oracle's curse
I didn’t really like episode 3 tbh, episode 4 though, I actually really enjoyed, too short though.
Btw you turned off comments for the following vifeo
How was Medusa alive again after the original Perseus beheaded her?
It's explained in th books. Th 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 area of th greek underworld, n come back whenever their physical forms are destroyed. 1 example is when percy kills asterion on his first day realizing he's a half-blood. 4 years later, he sees th minotaur again in kronos' titan army. This proves to be an ordeal for heroes n demigods, for after a monster is killed it can reappear n attack again, in any time period btw weeks n hundreds of years. When killed, they usually turn to golden dust, yellow vapor or crumble to ashes. Every time a monster is defeated it leaves behind a spoil of war, which is a part or parts of a monster's body or an object used by a monster that does not disintegrate when killed, like a minotaur's horn, or th head of medusa
monsters don’t die ,they just regenerate since they don’t have actual souls
bc monsters don’t die they just regenerate
I mean this in a not mean way but how long has it been since you’ve read the books? A lot of things you complain about are plot points in the book and the oracle is dead they tried to transfers her spirit into a living woman (Luke’s mom) and she went insane seeing her son’s horrible fate
That's not why she went insane.
15:04 why do I keep seeing this attitude? Why do people not get it's not the character we feel sorry for but the chracter he's realted to?
BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD
Tbh, I didn’t really like the any they handled the encounter with Medusa in this episode, and I do have a few reasons why. 1: with the way they just had Medusa reveal herself, they completely changed what happened in the book. The whole point of tv adaptations are to recreate what happens in the source material. They’re supposed to bring people’s imaginations to life. Sometimes, they make changes for the betterment of the story, but this one was completely unnecessary. That’s why no one really liked the movie. Imo, it doesn’t really make the story better. For me, it was the opposite. 2: when Medusa blatantly tells Percy and friends who she is, it kinda takes away the suspense of the moment. They already know who she is, so they don’t have to worry about whether she was going to attack them or not, because they already know. Plus, danger impacts more when it comes from someone you thought you could trust. For example, if you found that someone was trying to kill you, but you don’t know who they are at all, of course you’d be scared, but if you were with your friend, and they suddenly try to kill you, it would be even worse. There would be a greater mix of emotions and feelings in your mind, and you would think, “who else have I been wrong to trust?”, or “I was so stupid for trusting this person”. In the book, Percy and Annabeth trust Medusa when she gives them food. They go along with her until the very last minute, when they realize that they were wrong and she couldn’t be trusted. The reveal hits more for the characters when they had previously trusted her. 3: Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are all KIDS. They were lured in by Medusa, and couldn’t help themselves. They hadn’t eaten fried food in a long time (according to the book), so the smell captivated them and they went inside. Kids tend to ignore the dangers of something when they want it really bad. It was the same for them. They were hungry, and there was food at aunty em’s, so they ignored Grover’s strange feelings and went inside anyway. Just because they are children of the gods doesn’t make them any less kids. They’re just kids who just so happen to have special abilities. 4: Medusa is a monster, and as they said in episode 2, monsters have their own powers. In the book, Percy described feeling sleepy and content when eating the food medusa had cooked for them. He also said that while eating, he ignored all the warning signs that pointed to medusa being someone who wanted to bring the trio harm. It was most likely medusa ‘s own abilities. If not for them disregarding all the information they had been given, the trio would have immediately have defeated her rather than given her the slightest chance to get them. It would have been too easy of a victory. In the episode, we barely get a glimpse of her skills and powers. While these are reasons that I think the book is superior, I’m not intending to trash on the show. This is just my opinion, and some people may agree with me, and some may not.
And, don’t be so hard on Grover. Both his assignments were children of the big three, being Thalia and Percy. Being some of the more powerful demigods, monsters would attack them relentlessly, especially the stronger ones, like the furies and the Minotaur. While Thalia got turned into a tree, he still managed to save Annabeth and Luke, who would never had survived on their own. Plus, as stated in both the book and the movie, Thalia wouldn’t listen to Grover, so it was completely out of his hands. Percy’s mom did get taken by hades on his way to camp half blood, but Grover accompanied Percy on his quest and helped him get her back. Grover is a pretty helpful character despite what you said.
The oracle Turing into gabe was in the books, it was actually him and his poker buddies but Disney’s cheap
I like to think that in this version Gabe doesn't have any friends 😁 especially cause he's alone in episide 1.
My guy, you gotta give a warning that this video contains MAJOR spoilers- like, at the start of every Percy review you need to have a quick screen or something that says “this video contains major spoilers for the Percy Jackson story”
You name this episode 3 review but explain everything that will happen this season, at least a spoiler warning would have been nice
Medusa worked better as a creepy and intimidating villain. It’s one of the most memorable parts of the book. Not every villain needs to be sympathetic and misunderstood
I think hermes is the only good dad
Litrely why did u spoil it now I can’t enjoy the series bro wtf
I saw the thumbnail and came to say that's blasphemy.
Like come on man, did you really have to spoil who would betray Percy, bloody hell
Tbf the original novel premiered in **2006,** but imma guess you haven't read the OG PJO series.
@@Boss_Isaac Yeah, I suppose it is unreasonable to not expect spoilers. Was just annoyed by the lack of a spoiler warning before dropping such a big bombshell.
@@Stoffies123I mean to be fair, if I don't want to be spoiled about something I really care about, I don't click on any videos about it until I've seen it.
Sorry you had to see that! I think the Percy Jackson fandom is going to have to get used to now needing to consider new non book fans and not spoil everything for them. For us, the story has been completed years ago so we generally have discussions without worrying but with this new adaptation we’re going to have to remember the new fans when talking about the show
Wow, I didn’t thought Disney, the biggest case of creative and mental bankruptcy in Hollywood, could actually do it, but here we are
So in the show they knew it was medusa and still go into her house as children of the two gods that wrong her for they felt sympaty for her a monster that is one of the dealiset monster in exsistent that kill whit just looking in her eyes. Does the demigods not have there own security in mind beacuse it sound like they go into a death trap in the books it is more understandbly beacuse they just follow the sent to food find her place by mistake and medusa hide her self before she attack
I mean it’s either the fury who would kill you immediately or Medusa who would wait a little bit and offers lunch… they didn’t have a choice.
Also they make much worse decisions down the road…
Did you miss Annabeth being against Percy's decision to go inside Medusa's house? Anyways, if they don't go inside, they would have nowhere else to run to because they were going to get attacked by Alecto.
@@TheIndianDeity it was a fury there as well
Fury= can fly have a wip and already have been killed once in the show
Medusa= have a death glare, snakes hair and probarly enchant strength and she offer lunch.
I honestly think they have a better chanse against the fury then medusa. And medusa does well not have mirrors lying around that can be use to kill her.

Eh they pose an equal threat honestly. The furies can call for backup and can fly, Medusa has the death glare. The important thing is Medusa 100% manipulated them into picking her. If you look at what she does it’s obvious. Medusa presents herself as a safe option: she offers the trio food, says she won’t kill them, and leaves so they can make the decision themselves. In addition, notice how the front of Medusa’s house is full of monster statues and nothing else, making her seem like a protector/savior that protects people from monsters and offers them shelters, this is how she manipulates people into coming into her house, where she turns them into stone in her basement. We as the audience know Medusa is bad because we’ve read the books, but to the kids, they see someone who is offering help and looks like they kill monsters, plus food (they’re really hungry)… Percy was willing to take that chance because he wants to trust monsters. It’s why he trusts Tyson in book 2 when all the other campers don’t and think he’s a spy for Kronos, Percy doesn’t discriminate against monsters, and it’s also why the second Medusa starts talking about being evil he runs away to join the trio. He gave Medusa a chance, and she wasted it.

This is not better then the book
Not gonna lie, most of this was an L take
No It Wasn’t This Was Complete Shit Compared To The Book

I'm gonna admit, I'm also disappointed by this adaptation. When grover sang- I was cringing so hard. Tho It's closer to the book than the previous movies, though the pacing of the show is odd. The movies pacing actually feels like a real movie. I just hope the chimera fight and ares are good, that'd because those are my main favorites.

@MrMythology1316 I'm deeply sorry for making you worry, just thought I'd bring it up as it's bugging me.
