I love how she starts her videos with a memory verse.
☺️
@@LakiaJaiTVI'm so glad you reacted to this! I didn't get to finish it I only got to I think the 5th or 6th one. Love you❤ also I like the movie better than the show but both are great 💕
Yes. It's the little things like this. Praise God 🙌
It always reminds me to read the bible
@@c_asuq1597 me too
Btw! The gods don't claim random kids, it's actually their kid but they have to claim them for it to confirmed to the other gods that that kid is theirs. Kind of like if you find a lost kid at a grocery store and the parent comes to claim them like "Oh that one is mine"😂
I'm excited to see the rest of your reactions! 💕
“Give me Jesus any day” IS REAL 😭❤️
100%!!!!!💯💕🙏🙏🤗💯❤️💯❤️💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕
SEASON TWO HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hopefully it's not a snooze fest like the first season
@@NK-dt1kpHater detected solution: shut ur fcking mouth
@@NK-dt1kphopefully people like you will shut the fvck up!! 🤭 peace and love!! ✌️🫶
@@NK-dt1kpI dunno about you but I really enjoyed the first season 💀
@@NK-dt1kpI enjoyed the first season I think it’s just needs a better pacing😭
@LaikaJaiTV
Something funny about the books with the chimera scene, is that Percy had actually JUMPED from the Arch to the river. This was because Rick Riordan had genuinely thought that the river was closer to the arch, when it is actually at least 50 feet pr more away. That is why in the show the water grabbed him out the air, because even though he is a demigod, there is no way a 12 year old is making that jump
First chapter knowledge is so REAL🤣🤣💀
you’re honestly never gonna enjoy the show if you compare it to the movies because they’re essentially two different stories
like “they’re so young” yeah they’re supposed to be the movies aged them up for no reason😭
@@maria-ie6zdit wasn’t for no reason, it was to target bigger audience, esp when the movies came out when dystopian movies with a main character who was 16 were thriving. No adults or teens would be going to see a kids movie back then
@@airetasuminaite7730and it was a shitty decision to make. also it’s crazy that even with older actors and characters they still fucked up the romance horrendously and had two pre teens do it better😭
Nah the show is not that good standing on its own. The writing is really weird and so is the production. They just tell us everything that’s happening instead of showing. Also the effects were not that good. I think it would’ve been better if it was on a different platform. Disney kinda ruined it even tho the books are disney
I think the show was pretty good. I enjoyed the ending stuff im a non book reader of Percy Jackson. I remember watching the first movie when I was little. It was really good. I gave this a 9 out of 10
As someone who read the books from middle school, I didn’t mind the show being different. I liked the changes they did in it but them explaining everything did get annoying at times. However I can understand it was for non readers and who don’t look into Greek mythology. I can’t wait for S2 & how they’ll improve it
The episodes needed to be longer, that was the only drawback to this series cause it felt like some scenes weren't given the weight they needed.
I was so excited seeing this and as a book reader, it's pretty great. Yes, there are flaws but I am still able to enjoy it. Hopefully, any issues they had will be fixed in season 2. The first Percy Jackson movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's not exactly book-accurate but it really warms my heart.
i enjoyed every single episode of the show regardless of the criticisms they might have. its a great adaptation overall so i am so happy we got a season 2!
As another non-book reader, this show is so good! It took me a few episodes before I got really into it. There are valid criticisms (like the rushed pacing), but imo it's more than made up for in character and heart🤗 I'm so invested in these children lol and the season 1 finale is awesome. I can't wait for season 2! 💕
the thing that annoys me as a book reader is how they know all the traps and monsters before hand where as in the books its way unexpected
Please continue this series. You will love it!!!
I’ve read the books. Honestly I think the show improved on a lot of the things on the book but fell short on certain things like Percy and Luke training, and the ares fight
lmfao so as a book fan to answer some questions:
1) theyre calling percy a forbidden child cuz hes a child of the big three, zeus posiedon and hades. they made a pact many years ago that they wouldnt have any more halfblood children because they were too dangerous and powerful. (clearly it didnt work cuz none of them stuck to the pact)
2) humans cant see monsters or the fights or anything because of the mist which distorts reality to make everything seem normal to mortals
Except Hades because he's the best out of the three
@@Royally_Wonderfulnico and Bianca
@@kickyourhead1910 they were born before the pact was made
@@Royally_Wonderful true true cuz he hid them in the lotus casino
@@Royally_Wonderful and hazel too
I thought it was a decent adaptation but it needs to really find its footing next season. The pacing and some of the changes they decided to make just didn't make sense at times (and make the episodes longer). I'm hoping it might have just suffered a bit under the writer's strike but maybe that's just wishful thinking
PART 2! Of this pleas!!!❤
You’re editing is hilarious! 😂 I’ll subscribe! And yes, that scene with Mrs. Dodds had more action in the books
Always so excited to see you react girly 💕
🫶🏾
cant wait for the rest of the show!!
OMG YESSS I LOVE PERCY JACKSON AND YOU CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR THOUGHTS ❤️❤️
Yay I’m so happy you watch Percy Jackson ❤🎉
a lot of people complained about this show, and even though some complaints were valid to a certain extent, i dont think its that serious. it was good for a first season and they can build in future seasons. also fun fact the author despises the movies 😭 he said we need to normalise bad movie erasure, because for a book adaptation, they were bad
IVE BEEN WAITING AND IT FINALLY HAPPENED
I never read the books either I only watched the movies i just finished season 1 on disney + afterwards i purchased the first book on audible i plan to get all the audio books😊
The way I tried not to scream when I saw thiS!!! I'm so excited omg
i was waiting for you to do this since December omggg 😭😭
They are their kids it’s just they claim them to confirm it
I think she got that by the end actually, but I forgot to add that in my comment
I’M SO UP FOR THIS REACTION!!!
I'm so excited for you to watch this!
Literally ever since was the show like four weeks ago I wanted you to react to it like what!.?😂❤
Your hair looks so cute today Lakia. I have my frap and snacks for todays video
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO WATCH THIS
Yeah my biggest complaint was how fastttt the action sequences were. The fights were over immediately and it kinda killed the suspense. Hopefully that was just a season 1 budget thing.
And I believe this was in production during the strikes as well as Covid.
They had one of the biggest budgets for a Disney+ show, I don’t know where they went wrong with the action sequences but it wasn’t money
I was looking through ur comments when i read a comment that said react to percy jackson tv show and then i got this notification lol
Love seeing the stuff from the Bible also I think you should watch The Outsiders it's a good movie I also think you'd like the book as well
Your going to love it
Did you know? there is acc two different versions of medusas storie the one where Poseidon r*pes her and Athena turns her into a gorgon ; the version where she is born into one with her two other sisters being gorgons too
I believe the one where she’s born as a Gorgon is the Greek version and the other two where Poseidon is involved are the Roman versions.
Lakia, I too have only seen the movies and never read the books, and I really liked the Percy Jackson movies too, despite what other people say about them.
You are so hilarious and relatable I was laughing and saying that u reacted exactly as I did when I had watched the episodes
OH MY GOD MY LIFE HAS PURPOSE ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH
You are my new favorite channel
GIRLIE I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!! didn't read the books til the show started and i got so hooked i don't even care that it wasn't that good.. lots of fun anyway
love the reaction! Also- please react to Bridgerton, I think you would love it!
I needed this review as a non book reader 😂❤
Hi Lakia Jai, first let me say I love for ur videos, so funny, ur reactions r hilarious. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to make movie reaction videos. From the editing, from the copyright on the movie or video, from recording yourself and the screen. It would be so great if you could.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS… THE WAY I GASPEDDDD
🤣 that "glory to glory" interlude lol
We love a classic Fred Hammond bop
I haven’t read the books but I’ve seen the movies and the series and now I’m going back to books to see what I’m missing 😭
YES SHES WATCHING PERCY JACKSONNNN
I love both the series and the movies! I feel like the series (obviously) has a more accurate portrayal of the books, and the movies just have a good early-2000’s vibe. Like if the movie wasn’t based off the books, it’d be good on its own. I was reading the first book as I was going through the first season, and I’m currently on the fourth book from the Heroes of Olympus series. But I started out as a non-reader too 😂 luckily I was able to get the first five books and read the first one before the season ended
i love your videos soo much
Love that you started watching the Percy Jackson series, it's great🫶
Loved the reaction! 👍
I was wondering if you’d ever heard of the blue sky and 20th century Fox movie “Epic”? It’s seriously underrated and definitely deserves more love!
I highly recommend it!
I love ur videoss 😍 theyre so good they always make me smile ur so funny 🫶🏽
as someone who grew up having read the books then watched the movies, i’ll definitely say that the show is more accurate to the books but they have made some changes that improve what happened in the books. i did have some issues with script (annabeth’s lines in particular but that stops being a problem after episode 4 and one scene in 5). episode 5 was my favourite one. i loved the movies even though they’re barely anything like the books and logan was 17/18 instead of 12 but yeah i’m hoping it get even better in season 2. also you don’t have to have read the entire series before each season seeing as each book corresponds with a book. so you can read 1 and 2 before season 2 which i think they’re hoping to release in december this year or early next year?
More Percy jackson pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@LakiaJaiTV will you be reacting to the other half of the show? my opinion is that it gets better throughout the episodes, and it is completely different from the movie because Rick Riordan didn’t do the movie, but he did do the show!
HEY GIRLLL THIS IS MY FAV SHOW EVERRRRR (first)
Literally what I’ve been waiting for as a book reader lol
Can you watch Fear Street trilogy plsss
I read them in school and watched the movies. I watched some of the show.
I'm a watch this in a few, but I'm happy because I'm a mythology nerd, and I love percy jackson it can't beat the original, but when will you finish desendents and sorry for the comments adhd
I LOVEEEE PERCY JACKSON ❤❤❤
Can you please keep reacting to the rest of this show
OHMYGODD YESSS
I’M SO HAPPY YOU’RE WATCHING THISSSSS
The claiming thing is like a bastard situation. You have to be claimed so it’s official who ur parent is. Some children never find out who their parent actually is
This show was definitely good my only issue is that they explain everything without leaving any mystery which takes a lot of fun out of the adventure 😭
when will the reaction to the next episodes be?
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Percy Jackson And The Olympians!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Is this a prediction of the video or...
Two videos in 24h ?!?!?
Hey maybe when you’re done it would inspire you to read the books after.
I thought they were making a third one of the other ones
OMG YES
As a non reader, i think the show did a terrible job of conveying information. It lacks tension, good pacing, interesting dynamics and character building. But i kept watching it because i find the premise very intriguing and Walker Scobell, I've seen him in other projects before and he seems a very promising actor.
I'm with you on that. I liked the movies. I thought I'd be one of the "books are better" types because I usually am but I don't actually like these books. I don't hate them, they just weren't for me. edit: I cannot stand the narration though. In tv or movie format. It's visual media; show, don't tell is always the way to go.
Love it!!! But you have to read the books!!!!
will you be reacting to 5-8?
DOSE ANYBOY KNOWS THE SOUND AT 3:01 I NEED ITTT
What’s your posting schedule???
I haven’t started this series I am so stubborn convinced that the Logan lerman were the best but I have read the books 📖
I LOVE THIS SHOW
I’m living for this “I want to read the books” energy, but the books and the not read them haha. It’s the thought that counts 😂
in terms of book accuracy, the show is better than the movies. neither is completely the same though because it’s a book, not a screenplay, and i think some people have unrealistic expectations of how close a film adaptation can get. as a fan of the books, i think the show is really well done.
i think so too. After LOTR and Harry Potter everyone expected book-to-screen adaptations to be nearly perfect. It's hard for FANTASY books to become almost perfect shows/movies and it's very rare that it's done superbly. I read The Lightning Thief after watching this and it was super accurate. Yes, there were various problems with the show but it's still good. I even liked the ending in the show more than I did the book.
Your in for quite a a wild ride there's a twist at the end and well you'll see
Omg im up
also pls react to the rest of the season!!!
you are right they procreate Demi-gods normally but the godly parent has to acknowledge that the kid is theirs
Hi
Hey
Aaaaaa react to cat and the hat next
let’s gooooooo
Grover’s actor is 17 lol
The movie is trash both as an adaptation and as a movie itself. The books are the best media and the series is very nice and faithful even though it has its problems.
Sally Jackson OP
I hate reading so i havent read the books
the only thing that i was upset abt the show was the non blonde hair annabeth and the non black hair percy i was so sad😭 actors are great tho
I think there’s just ONE problem in this season: it’s too dramatic - the music and the attempted dephtness of some of the dialogue - is too much. The books were irreverent/ funny/ sarcastic most of the time, and we are missing it on the show. Other than that, all perfect. I would give it 8,5/10
this isn’t from percy’s pov though? he’s always using humor to cope in his narration so not having that does change the mood when you see how serious things are
the books only seem like that because they’re from percy’s pov
@@S0LAVELLANHELL yes, but it is the overall feeling we have from the books, it’s one of the reasons I love the books. Also, I'm not saying the story isn’t supposed to be SERIOUS, I'm saying it’s too DRAMATIC, there’s a big difference

So several things: I quite disagree, I will take the Greek gods over Christianity any day thank you😄. At least with them you know what you get and you won't go to hell for every little thing. But as far as the show, a couple of points you may have missed. 1) I suppose from a Christian POV it would be backward that the gods have rules and restrictions and have kids to get around them, but this comes from the idea of Human Free-will. We can choose to obey or break the rules. And 2) Forbidden Children: After WWII, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades all swore not to father any more children because they were too powerful. Here so far Zeus and Poepoe have broken that vow
Well I’m not sure about you and your experiences but I know what I’m getting with Jesus but we’ll have to agree to disagree 🙂
And no disrespect to you but I’m just gonna use this comment to inform anyone who might think otherwise
As far as Christianity goes we are saved by grace through faith, believing and having faith in Jesus, that He died for our sins is the only way to get into Heaven. No amount of “good” or “bad” sends you to Heaven or hell.
There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son John3:18
@@LakiaJaiTV Oh not at all, no offense taken. I could tell from the tone of the video the kind of reactor I was watching & still commented. All I'll say about that particular part of my comment is you do you. It was Not my intent to offend you & I hope I havent. But I am glad to see you watching. Its one of my favorite franchises & I hope you continue to enjoy it
@@BadGamer_OG No worries I wasn’t offended😊 thanks for being kind about it🙂
