@@sadisticwinter8354 right?! The acting is outstanding and the emotional stuff is handled finely. But the monster fights have been so low energy. Hopefully with more budget and time, they'll improve upon that in future seasons.
@@juliana-fu8hi My comment had nothing to do with the budget. I’m saying this is why the episodes are so short. Not because child actors are expensive, but because they filmed less. Percy Jackson already had 50 fewer filming days than GOT. That becomes even less when you factor in the smaller amount of time that child actors are actually able to work. I’m saying that I’ve seen fans accuse Disney of not allowing the writers to write longer episodes, when I think it’s more likely that they were made this short to accommodate for what they would actually be able to film in the time they were allotted. Admittedly, I’ve never worked in TV before, so I could be talking out my ass. I just think it’s a bit unfair to demand that the episodes be longer when they likely only had a limited time to film.
@@ninakrishnamurthy6674its got nothing to do with them being child actors it is 110% because disney dont want to do longer episodes….. sure if you only look at percy jackson you may have that opinion but when you look at every single show released on disney+ since the service launched you see a pattern that every single one regardless of whether theres child actors or not have the same problem of short episodes. Whether it be percy jackson, marvel, star wars or anything else they do EVERY SINGLE ONE has the same problem
I commented on another PJO interview video that maybe we could just suspend disbelief and say demigods go through growth spurts faster as an innate survival mechanism to be physically stronger to fight off monsters, via the Mist responding to their subconscious desire to be stronger faster. I feel like that may be a reasonable explanation given Hazel's realisation of how to manipulate the Mist.
Next four season, your kiding, I want a whole RCU (Riordan Cinematic Universe) with the Hoo, Magnus Chase, Trials and Apollo and every things ( maybe not kane chronicles cause Netflix already on the job)
I really hope they allow longer episodes for the next seasons. I'm loving the show, but some more minutes per episode would really help improving its overall pace. That being sad, one of the things I loved the most was the addition of flashbacks. This week's made me tear up with Poseidon and Sally, and little Percy feeling rejected.
I think a big reason why the episodes are so short is because they're working with child actors. Child labor laws prevent child actors from working more than a certain amount, and it would take even longer for the show to come out if the episodes were longer.

So glad for Rick Riordan, hope they get a bigger budget for future seasons, the show is allowing old fans to re experience the story with a fresh perspective
This has been a great adaptation into eight episodes. They all kept each episode internally consistent and wrapped up nicely, they incorporate the most iconic scenes from the book more intimately and directly related to their quest, and we get to understand why the bad guy does what he does by the time the twist is revealed at the end! Also some other things were improved, like making Annabeth and Clarisse more obviously suspects and Grover a little more savvy. I am also glad they are keeping this show PG so that I can watch it with my babies right next to me. 😅
@@TheIndianDeity Actually i like the cliffhanger because the episode was short and that fight needs time to see it properly and If they have done it in the time they had left maybe a minute this would have been a really big disappointment.
@@PetarNNenkovski Yeah, but the last episode needs to include the Ares fight, meeting Poseidon in Olympus, returning to camp and the fight with Luke, and then the ending with his mom. Most episodes have included 1 or 2 chapters. The last episode needs to include about 4 chapters. I hope it gets a longer runtime, or I'm worried it will all feel rushed.
@@benjaminfast5496 Well, according to a post Rick made on Instagram, the pearls actually teleported the trio to Montauk, not Santa Monica Bay. So that cuts out the scene of them scrambling to get a plane ticket and flying out of desperation. Of course your mileage may vary on that change, but IMO if something had to be cut, I’m more okay with that than something else. Also, in the book Percy doesn’t “fight” Luke. They go into the woods and then Luke starts ranting before siccing a monster on Percy and running away.
@ninakrishnamurthy6674 Yeah, little choices like that to save time are fine with me, lol. Regarding Luke, you're right, I guess I should have said "encounter." LOL.
i wachted the movies before knowing about the books and I know I would´ve def riot if I had created Grover, basically a nature character with an unwavering faith, and changed him to someone who only dreams of being with Aphrodite's daughters.
I love this series as much as rick love to produce it 10 years grow up with percy jackson book franchise and 10 years to wait this perfect adaptation is worth
Rick, I have no idea if you're reading this, but if you are I need you to know that your books changed my life. They brought my life into definition in so many ways when I was Percy's age that I don't even know where I'd be today without them. Or you. I would not have the same friends, I wouldn't've made the same choices, and I wouldn't have all the same moral convictions without getting to love Percy and all of his friends. And then, as if that weren't enough, you gave us Alex Fierro. I had never before in my life seen another genderfluid person like me in fiction. To meet her, and to see her be a part of the stories that I had loved for so long by that point, to see clearly that she was created with so much love and care and respect......I had to take a break from writing this to cry. I will never forget where I was or how I felt when I met her. Thank you for recording these bedtime stories which you told to Haley, thank you for caring so much about your young readers, and thank you for pouring your time and love into these books. I'll cherish them forever.
Nice to hear some of Rick's stories again. It's been ages since I heard about the orange food! Completely forgot about it. Also, not sure I've seen one of TV Insider's videos before, but the style of having occasional "behind-the-scenes" shots that revealed more of how it was being filmed... that was fascinating to see. Thank you!
I´ll never understand the people who prefer the movie to the series, Grover in the movie barely gets to be the "cool boy" that the only goal he shows is to be with the daughters of Aphrodite. Imagine creating a character of nature explaining how man destroys it and then being that same example of man that they put to play the character. Demolishing My Character it´s enough motive for me to dismiss the movie entirely, even worse if they do it to one of the main characters.
Rick’s close collaboration on the series and the casting decisions really make the series sing! BUT, they really should’ve gone for a twofer and shot the second book right after because of how quickly Walker and Leah have grown up. It’s a risk casting early adolescent children, Walker was 12 when he auditioned whilst filming The Adam Project and if you look at him in TAP, he’s a small squirly 12 year old and sometimes boys mature late giving directors the ability to use them in a child/early teen role like PJ in the first books even into their mid teens. That didn’t happen with Walker. By filming he was an average 13 year old starting to mature and by the end of filming, he was 6” taller and a deeper voice and by the time of the launch at almost 15, he’s now almost adult height with a man’s voice. By the time they begin to film season 2, he will be 16 and even older looking and literally too old for the role of PJ which is a tragedy as he’s a fabulous actor who has aced this role magnificently.
The show is good, definitely need longer episodes. I'm not sure whether or not I love or hate how it is straying from the books, sure there is good scenes but also because of it, there are bad scenes. Longer episodes for season 2, bigger budget would be an added bonus, would be really good and nice to have.
Its definitely going both ways with the changes theres some positive ones like all the extra story for sally jackson, leaving bread trails for future romance between a certain 2 characters but theres also some negative ones like removing the whole DOA scene with percy bribing charon and charon wanting a raise then percy asking hades to give him a raise (this may seem small but personally i found it one of the funniest moments in the first book) and some if the stuff there doing with grover really doesnt sit right with me the way he has been this entire season how on earth is that guy meant to go out and search for pan himself? My guy wouldnt make it off half blood hill alone All in all its a mixed bag imo certainly some great moments but some poor ones too
My concern is the aging of the actors. Walker was 13 when this was filmed, he just turned 15!! He not only looks older, but has grown taller and his voice has changed. Rick complained about the aging-up of the actors for the movie, but by the time this gets done filming, the actors are going to be in the 20's too! They really need to film all seasons back to back to get this done, otherwise, it's going to be a disaster.
I honestly think they can pull off having a 20yo play a 15-16yo, if they take much longer it might be a bit awkward for book 2 and 3, though. Walker already aged so much in season 1 lol. Regardless I will watch and love every season I am sure
I saw Walker (Percy's actor) in the Kids Choice awards 2024 interviewed for Best Male Child Actor or smth and guess what me n my bro said WHY THE H3LL HE SOUND LIKE DAT?!?!? so different 😮😊
As much as I love Percy jacksonu, the first season was underwhelming. The pacing was the worst part, but also the way they handled Hades really disappointed me. Hades is a nice god, yet he’s supposed to be a sad, tragic character, who has suffered loss. However, in this show he’s just a comedic character who does nothing but make jokes. Still am hopeful for a season two, just hope it’s handled better.
Remember when authors cared about their reputations? Now it’s cash out while u still can. I really hope those teams of writers mutilating his work for esg scores is worth it. Fr how fulfilling must that be for an actual success artist to take claim for ideas coming out of people with a combined 10 projects under their belts the most experienced writer was some draft editor from the invisible man (2000) but I do get it now pay off the dude with all the credibility to take the blame for all the bad decisions then you can barely pay the easily controlled fresh grads to write all the garbage you want in the show.
Rick kinda ruined this series. It’s not gonna make it to season 5 if they keep changing all the stuff and having the kids basically be omnipotent knowing every monster ever
@@ADarkloreno. I don't accept that as an answer. there is no reason why they couldn't fit the same basic story beats as the books in the runtime they have. they add a bunch of useless side stuff that ultimately goes nowhere and feels like filler, and a show with supposedly so little time should not be wasting it on filler! there is no reason why they can't let the characters discover things for themselves. there is no reason why every time an obstacle comes along, the characters immediately know everything about it and how to beat it. there is no reason to do it like that. they are removing all tension from the story so the main characters can seem... smarter? better? I really don't know what they were going for but all it did was make the story immensely boring. they are wasting time, you don't get to make the excuse that they have too little when they actively waste it.
Keep in mind, it's a show based on a middle school book series made in the early 2000s. There were changes, sure, however they made the story more believable/ filled in a lot of the plot holes not addresses in the book.
My favorite book series of all time, and yet the movies were better. The movies were still bad, but still had a so bad its good quality to them and the show just had awkward and cringy acting that was just bad. And yes I know everyone is harping on this, but the fact that the characters don't look like the book counterparts took me completely out of it and made it feel like an even less faithful adaptation than the movies. I adore the books so much and keep getting let down by the film adaptations
Please disney increase their budget for season two and give us longer episodes.
SERIOUSLY. 30-34 minutes is so heartbreaking😭

@@LeonardoMenezes03 6 is my least favorite too, but I still loved it a lot, especially with Hermes in it.
Rick's comments at the 5min 16 sec mark is so aggravating. He really thinks this show is the best thing ever doesn't he 😂
You f*cked up Rick!
Remember when authors cared about their reputations? Now it’s cash out while u still can. I really hope those teams of writers mutilating his work for esg scores is worth it. Fr how fulfilling must that be for an actual success artist to take claim for ideas coming out of people with a combined 10 projects under their belts the most experienced writer was some draft editor from the invisible man (2000) but I do get it now pay off the dude with all the credibility to take the blame for all the bad decisions then you can barely pay the easily controlled fresh grads to write all the garbage you want in the show.
I feel like rick might be a little bias here🤔🤔🤔🤔
Way too many changes. Such a dissapointment, Rick.
Rick kinda ruined this series. It’s not gonna make it to season 5 if they keep changing all the stuff and having the kids basically be omnipotent knowing every monster ever
The changes are fine and fit the TV series medium and runtime that they're allowed.
@@ADarkloreno. I don't accept that as an answer. there is no reason why they couldn't fit the same basic story beats as the books in the runtime they have. they add a bunch of useless side stuff that ultimately goes nowhere and feels like filler, and a show with supposedly so little time should not be wasting it on filler! there is no reason why they can't let the characters discover things for themselves. there is no reason why every time an obstacle comes along, the characters immediately know everything about it and how to beat it. there is no reason to do it like that. they are removing all tension from the story so the main characters can seem... smarter? better? I really don't know what they were going for but all it did was make the story immensely boring. they are wasting time, you don't get to make the excuse that they have too little when they actively waste it.
Ik!
I totally hope there would be no S2
Such a Dishonor to a Great Book Series 💀
It's just not doing it for me
I hope season 2 is better than the hot garbage that was season 1. very dissapointed. Glad its coming out, but still
Dog sht show hbo should have taken over
You are a goofy Rick
And I’m sure those questions aren’t real if they haven’t asked you why is this show booty lbs😅
Here’s my question: why is it so bad?
I mean it’s not for everyone and a lot of people didn’t like it so you’re not alone
Fax
PJO fans are overrating the show 💀

@@ToyStoryboy2009 May be , But My Guess : The Movies was terrible and the series is the only hope of L/A Percy Jackson
Keep in mind, it's a show based on a middle school book series made in the early 2000s. There were changes, sure, however they made the story more believable/ filled in a lot of the plot holes not addresses in the book.
Mid show so far, especially cause of him.
My favorite book series of all time, and yet the movies were better. The movies were still bad, but still had a so bad its good quality to them and the show just had awkward and cringy acting that was just bad. And yes I know everyone is harping on this, but the fact that the characters don't look like the book counterparts took me completely out of it and made it feel like an even less faithful adaptation than the movies. I adore the books so much and keep getting let down by the film adaptations
normalize bad show erasure
Bro sucks at making shows
