@@d0dge407 well they look decently realistic, Viria’s art is what we imagine because we usually assign attractiveness as a trait towards our main character unless stated otherwise. i’m not saying one is better than the other, but i don’t think Antonio’s Art was trying for the attractive look
There is one minor inaccuracy at 7:35. In one of the Riordan Presents series, the Last Fallen Star, it does have a scene where it mentions the Riordanverse. The character gets a cut and uses nectar to heal herself, mentioning that her parents get it from a seller in New York, which is where the Greek gods are based.
As someone who was diagnosed with ADD in 5th grade and also loved greek mythology as a kid, these books were a huge part of my childhood and my life. They gave me so much hope and confidence in myself because in the early 2000s kids with ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia were told that they're brains didn't worked right and that they had "learning disabilities." Personally, I hate that term cause it has such negative effect on kids. In reality, our brains work fine, just differently, and that exactly what Rick Riordan pushes and focuses on in the entire series. It shows kids that there isn't anything wrong with them, they're brains just work differently than other peoples and it isn't their fault they're doing bad in school, its the schools fault because modern schools are not built to help kids learn effectly. I still recommend this series to kids and adults, cause sometimes even adults need to know they aren't broken, just different.
I think I sort of needed to read that…as an adult with adhd at the very least, who often thinks of their brain as broken. Sometimes we all need a little reminder that we’re just different.
@@labaccident2010 you would love it, there are plenty of parts I'm sure you could relate to just in the first book alone. I have read most every main line book except for the Apollo trials, because I haven't been able to find the hard copies yet. But ever single book leaves you hanging on with every word! I learned life lessons that had practical applications in life from those books.
My favorite obscure PJO fact is that Percy's grandma's name was retconned. In the Ultimate Guide, there's a newspaper clipping of the plane crash that killed Sally's parents, and it lists her mother's name as Laura Jackson, and in Ship of the Dead it was retconned to the more well known Estelle.

Jason x brick is great, even when Uncle Rick acknowledged it in Magnus Chase book 2. The chapter name for one was called " I pass out more than Jason Grace (and I don't even know who that is)" 😂
Here's an extra piece of deep lore: Originally, there was going to be a Fox Titan's Curse adaptation. We know this because the actor's contracts were for 3 movies. Given that the actors didn't do any acting for it, the film must have been cancelled early in development. It's still possible that at least part of a script and some other stuff was made and is just sitting in a vault somewhere. I once went looking and the most I could find was someone on the Camp Half Blood subreddit back in like 2015 offhandedly mentioning how the film was in development and that Riordan received material pertaining to it.
Wow, cant believe you found my vid! Thanks so much for making the iceberg, I knew I had to make this as soon as I discovered it. Also thanks so much, you've set up amazing groundwork for this awesome vid! 🤟
Don't worry guys, the three people who disliked, probably disliked that there wasn't some super obscure lore like a spelling error in chapter 4 of the Titan's Curse.
4:30 Jason was knocked out by a brick more than once if I remember correctly. Or he was knocked out somehow multiple times at least (to the point Rick Riordan made a reference in one of the chapter titles of Magnus Chase.)
On a side note, I've seen this fan art of the male members of the Seven wearing Pokémon onesies: Percy with a Squirtle onesie, Jason with a Pikachu onesie, Leo with a Charmander onesie, and Frank with a Ditto onesie.
This was such an interesting video. I’m pretty new to the fandom (read all but TON but I only joined this year). I thought I knew a lot but wow. U must have done a ton of research, good work!
For the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, me and my sister actually got the 10th anniversary covers first, and I didn't know they're not the 'usual' ones until now, so yay, I'm happy!
I have the Percy Jackson DS game and recently replayed it, it's a lot of fun and does require a decent amount of strategizing! It's somehow even more inaccurate than the movies, adding two completely new characters (Isaac, son of Hephaestus and Victoria, daughter of Apollo) and changing the plot significantly, but the visual novel style cutscenes and the gameplay itself are fun and reminiscent of Pokemon with new power ups and abilities as well as items to aid you in your quest. Definitely worth a playthrough!
Having ADHD and liking Greek Mythology was awesome when reading these books tbh. Like... it was cool to read and I was a little TOO into it 😅 even now, years later, at 20 years old, while I don't read the other books after I finished Heroes of Olympus, I do visit it all on some social media every now and then, mostly on Reddit
hi, ive been recently reconnecting w the PJO series lately and im currently reading the books again since i havent since 5th grade. I just wanted to say that this video was amazing and i would not mind a part 2 to this video !
Yeah, this video made me so excited holy crap. The Half Blood amino is a wonderful place, the mods are friendly and during it's busiest days you'd see so much amazing stuff. Unfortunately, Amino is under new management and had caused a lot of users to leave the app, so I'm sorry to say it's not as active as it used to. But by all means please check it out
4:05 Ok so idk if it's a thing only in the Italian Riordan fandom or not. BUT (in the Italian fandom) Jason is not only shipped with a brick (he got hit by one) but also with a stapler (he tried to eat one when he was a kid). This thing got so bad that people even gave names to these ships. like I said before idk if it's only the Italian fandom or not.
dude my theater company is doing the pj musical rn and i was cast as percy and im literally so hyped seriously if you're a pj fan and you don't know this show check it out it's so good
Ill be absolutely honest. The ds gamr was my first experience with the series and i still love it. Mostly from nostalgia tho . And idk how but it still is more faithful yo the books that the movie
Great video! Feel like you should've given a shoutout to the abundance of pj fan fiction available online. Think it's one of the biggest fan fiction communities with tens of thousands of stories written.
even though the movies are the worst but that doesn't mean it killed and destroyed the fanbase. amazing that it took 12 years to get the remake that desperately really need since the story is so amazing!
Weird that there was barely anything about obscure bits of lore, or Rick's break to learn about Gallic mythology, or about the references to other existing mythologies like the Aztec reference in one supporting novel, plus being completely devoid of mention of the Kane and Percy Jackson crossover trilogy
Do you know how we say man in random English sentences, like ‘how are you doing, man’, in Portuguese and Spanish they use tio in the same way even though it technically means uncle
oooo, I thought the Singer of Apollo story would pop up since the demigods and monsters one did. Also, the percy jackson video game may have characters that look close to how they look in the movie, but the actual plot of the game is so different from both the book and the movie.
I have 100%ed the pjo game, and it's like 11 hours max. It's fun to beat the main story but once you get divine strike and a bunch of symbols, you can rip through the god bosses
@@averyfields8183 OOOH well there's a parody book on Amazon you can buy called The Lightning Fart, featuring our titular character Percy Stinkson, a "half-wit" [that's what the book calls them] son of Olympian god #13, Pooseidon. Annabeth is the daughter of Aphrodite in this one and Percy spends the whole time trying to get with her while saving the day with farts and a magic toilet paper roll.
