It is explained in this episode that monsters can come back from the dead. It’s how monsters that were killed in mythology exist in the current day and it’s how Mrs Dodds (the teacher Percy killed in the first episode, aka Alecto) came back in this episode. Normally it takes longer than a few days tho and I don’t think Medusa makes another appearance in the series. That being said, Percy Jackson explores a lot of Greek myths and monsters that you may not even know about.
The way Medusa is portrayed in the show is actually an improvement from the books, in the books she's portrayed as just a spiteful villain whereas in the show even with little time with her it still took it to show she is not a monster or inherently evil with a more complex and sympathetic background than in book
she's definitely still sinister and a villain, esp shown how she has petrified monsters in her front yard so that it seems like she uses her power for "good", but her basement is HUGE and filled with the innocent/mortal victims. i do like that they gave her a more solid backstory that dives into the complicated history with both athena and poseidon. it really shows how percy and annabeth are with their parents: annabeth who idolizes athena and doesn't accept criticism of her that much yet vs percy who knows poseidon isn't all that BUT isn't a monster either bec he trusts sally jackson's judgment
In the books Annabeth is Blonde which I think would annoy people but personally I don’t give a shit about it. The actress who plays Annabeth does an amazing job and she really feels like the classic Annabeth from the books.
Yeah the only relevance of her being blonde was how she felt looked down on and not taken seriously for it. Something just as relevant, if not moreso, for a young woman of colour
People forget that book 1 Annabeth is different than later books Annabeth. We should see her elolve more as the season goes on. She maybe a bit more standoffish/cold than the books but I’m here for it. Can’t wait to see her character arc!
2:37 not a boom mic, its a flag in the wind! i thought the same thing. also, the human/ "mortals" cant see annabeth going invisible, monsters, gods, etc etc. The Mist is a magical veil that hides the world of gods and demigods from mortal eyes and changes it into something they can understand. For example, if percy whips out his sword, they might just see a baseball bat or something. if they see annabeth go invisible, their brain will probably reset and will forget she was there in the first place (kind of like mrs dodds at the field trip)
Someone probably commented about this already, but these monsters don't truly die. When their physical forms are destroyed, they go to Tartarus, and are later reformed. There is no science to how long it takes for them to show up again - it can be days, weeks, years, even centuries. That's how we are able to see Medusa and the Minotaur in Percy's time despite the existing ancient myths of them being defeated and killed. I don't think this bit of lore comes across super well in the show so I totally understand the confusion!! Percy killing Medusa mirrors the statue of Perseus holding Medusa's severed head that we saw in the first episode. That was pretty neat. Anyway, I'm super excited to watch the show with you!! I grew up with the books but it's been like a decade since I re-read them. It's going to be fun to see this story on the TV screen and it's also really interesting to watch someone new to Percy Jackson reacting to it. So, thanks for the videos!! I hope you have been having a great holiday season ❄️✨
Percy had a right to be mad. He had no idea what was going on because he immediately jumped into a quest and nobody was giving him any info and they just expected him to be up to speed.
The Annabeth casting complaints are mostly just people giving a lot of reasons as to why they don't like the casting to avoid saying that they actually can't see Leah (the actress) as Annabeth because she's black. Like you said, the character isn't real. At the end of the day, what matters the most, is that her essence and personality are correctly portrayed on screen.
i was hoping medusa would meet a separate fate than she did in the books as well... but her death is much more clever here with the use of annabeth's hat.
Like in the books and here, Percy is naive. He doesn’t fully grasp the whole world being out to get to him just yet. The Grover singing part is a reference to Grover’s ability to play music and songs. Don’t spoil too much there if they go into more detail. Yes, Medusa really isn’t that strong. Besides her eyes she’s not powerful. In the books it was a pretty quick fight that people are forgetting. Most fights in the 1st book are quick. Percy’s sword is made of a material that can disintegrate monsters with one slash. Just like Annabeth’s dagger. Being a child of Poseidon also makes you good with a sword. I think this season the fights will be a little less desired just because of the budget. Hopefully next season, if it’s renewed, will have a bigger budget and a little longer episodes. There will be more flashbacks to Medusa supposedly so we will see more of her. No idea in what capacity tho. Loved the reaction and can’t wait to see what happens next!
a usefull thing to know. monsters are not dead dead. they come back after a certain amount of time. it can be days weeks or years but they come back. thats why you saw he teacher that he killed again this episode
The tension arround that table, the class, this episode is beautiful. And the music ! I enjoyed seeing you begging Medusa to take you in her collection. Don't worry, monsters come back to life, so she will eventually return on earth one day :) The fight was short but they gave a lot of time to develop her character. In the book it is shorter actually. But don't worry there will be a lot of interesting characters on the journey.
the explained in the first episode that humans can’t see anything mystical which includes annabeth’s hat and her turning invisible:). also Percy has known Grover for years so ofc he trusts him.
@@TrophyReacts is most like they see her. then she become invisible and thats too much for the human mind so the mortals simply forget there was a girl in the first place
@@TrophyReacts ok, here's th thing. In th books there's this thing called 'mist'; th mist (also known as th 'duat' in egyptian mythology or 'glamour' in norse mythology) is a supernatural force controlled by th greco-roman goddess hecate that twists a mortal's sight frm seeing monsters, gods, titans n other supernatural occurrences by replacing them w/ things th human mind knows hb n can comprehend. Some mortals can see through th mist as well, including th parents of some demigods such as sally jackson n may castellan. Demigods n mythical creatures can all see through th mist at most times, though sometimes th mist is strong enough to fool even demigods. It's possible to gain th ability to see through th mist, as demonstrated by loki, who removed it frm th eyes of mr. fierro n his wife. For some unspecified reason th mist doesn't completely hide some of th physical features of satyrs n centaurs, leading them to find numerous ways to disguise themselves in th human world. It's heavily implied in th books that mortal children can see through th mist w/out problems, as their young minds accept th fantastic much more easily than an adult
Actually, some humans can do it, like sally jackson n may castellan. It's also heavily implied in th books that all mortal children can see through th mist w/out any problems, as their young minds accept th supernatural n fantastical much more easily than adults
Honestly I'm already excited for season 2 Hopfully they take what everyone is saying seriously and make the episodes 60mins even and slow tf down Plus they should have SOOOO much more money next season Honestly if they haven't shot the second half of season 1 they should reshoot it with longer episodes and more money xD its proven itself
Disney doesn't have 1 hour long episodes not even for their Marvel shows, they won't do it. We could ask for more episodes though. They've already shot everything, and it would be hard to bring the kids back for a reshoot bc they've grown absurdly from the s1 shoot to nowadays. I just hope it gets greenlit quickly for them to get s2 started already, they're growing too fast aaaaah!
Yeah, they usually either talk their way out of a battle or finish it with their wits instead of direct combat. The celestial bronze vaporizing monsters instantly is quite op, and monsters dont usually fight with swords anyways. Fights between demigods, gods and huge amouts of monstersis where it'sat.
The only reason that I think is legit to be upset about the black annabeth is if you grew up reading these books and YOU where personally a blonde girl fighting the dumb blonde stereotype Honestly I love this annabeth she definitely looks and feels like one of the most feared demigods still alive Even if that line was a little dumb
Honestly, I don't care about her being black (if in 2005 she was white blonde to combat the "dumb blonde" stereotype, in 2023, having her black is very important). I was just disappointed that she didn't have blonde braids or gray/blue eyes (since it's something so memorable from the books and that Percy always said) and blonde-haired Percy with blue eyes also left me disappointed, he's more like Will than Percy, (and he is so white, like, they could have sent it to the beach two weeks before filming started or something, and there are hair dyes that aren't harmful😭). I grew up reading these books, so having the author discard these details that he himself emphasized for so long makes me kind of sad. It would be the same as if they made an adaptation of The Selection, and America wasn't red hair. Would it change history? Ofc no, but I bet it would make a lot of people who care about that detail sad. But despite everything, I'm loving it, the only thing that has really bothered me is more related to the issues of image direction and soundtrack. Also, Gabe not being like in the books, It's good to have Sally being empowered from the beginning, but I bet that means Gabe in the series won't have the same ending as in the books, since they're not the same (Which sucks, because when I saw the actor that was cast, I was like "omg, he's perfect for Gabe! I can't wait to see his end on the show!!")
The backstory for Medusa in the Percy Jackson universe pulls from the Ovin myth, where Poseidon seduced Medusa on the floor of Athena’s temple and Athena cursed Medusa as punishment. What Rick changed to make it more kid friendly was that in the original myth, Poseidon raped Medusa. In the Percy universe, it was consensual. Either way, it shows that Medusa was wrongly cursed and was a victim that became the villain
Thats not true. In the orgininal myth Medusa was always an moster and never had anything to do with pseidon. The other myth is that medusa seduced poseidon. The rape story is compleatly new and not an actual myth
so the reason why humans didn’t see Annabeth turn invisible is because of the Mist. They explained it in Episode 1 in the car on the way to camp. It’s like a veil that hides the magical world from the human world so instead of monsters or magic they see something else
@@TrophyReacts sorry!! I doubt more Medusa will come through bc of the books. She’s more of a phase/level of the adventure during the first book rather than an actual character. If anything, they developed her character more and made it more complicated on the show by going with her roman story rather than the greek. In the books she’s just a monster (which is the greek myth).
I know you prob got an answer already. But in this setting people can do magics and fight monsters in front of "muggles"/normal folk because of "the mist" which clouds the mortal world from seeing anything that has to do with the strangeness of the gods or anything they do.
12:36 it was actually a gift, Poseidon challenged Athena and lost the city of Athens to her so he took it out on her high priestess Medusa by R-wording her, knowing that by the rules of the pantheon she would be punished, and because he is a god and brother of Zeus Athena didn't have the power or authority to punish him. Knowing that after her punishment Medusa would be casted out and would be vulnerable to men who would hurt her the same way Poseidon did Athena bless her and gave her power so that no man could ever hurt her again and that any that tried to do so would be turned to stone.
I think the reason why we don't really see as much bonding between annabeth & Percy with grover personally is because grover is already very close to the both of them, having known Annabeth since she was seven and becoming best friends with Percy early on. As opposed to Annabeth and Percy's dynamic where its all very new and you have annabeth who is so in-tune with the world and just knows everything and Percy who's so new and doesn't know the rules yet, which makes their relationship more engaging. Also if you know Athena and Poseidon lore, Percy and Annabeth kind of clashing in terms of personality is something that's kind of connected to their parents even though Annabeth and Percy become close and besties regardless.
Athena is definitely not a girls girl (punishing Medusa for Poseidon's actions and Annabeth because of Percy's??) and knowing she was created from Zeus' mind, are we surprised? At least Poseidon is the overcompensating dead-beat parent who provides some help when Percy is near water, she only interferes with Annabeth and her children (who mind you, she willingly brings into the world by consciously creating them) to basically let her know she doesn't gaf about her unless she achieves great things like Annabeth is her employee and not her daughter.
I'm huge fan of the books and from the point of adaptation, the series is great, close to the original, has canonic details when it comes to the world of Riordanverse, But... It's a pity that such amazing and interesting events are shown so... boring. Every fight feels too quick and anticlimactic (except mb the minotaur one), jokes are very few and majority of screentime is just talking and giving exposition. Even in movie adaptation, which is not very good to say the least, there is some kind of action, jokes and it feels enjoyable and fun. This tv series lacks fun. I appreciate accuracy and heart that was put in the show, but I really, really hope they improve action, jokes, fight choreography and make it to the 2nd season. Fingers crossed.
yeah I think that's where more screentime would be really useful, to make the big and important scenes longer and more impactful and then also have time over for those small (but important) character-building moments showing the chemistry and personality etc. I think they've done a good job considering the length of the episodes as they are, but another 10-15 mins would be really really great
Honestly don't remember much from the books but honestly I found this episode disappointing overall. Not really feeling the stakes or the characters for now.

the Annabeth outrage is so stupid. people forget her mother is a eternal vergin. she makes her kids with her mind.

They come back because there's a specific type of metal that can actually kill them, don't remember which
@@marirezende8478I think you're talking about celestial bronze, it's the only metal that can "kill" them, but they do come back to life still

Kind off he uses a mirror to chop her head off in the book.
Should clarify that he chops her head of with the sword, but he is looking at a mirror to see where she is.

I'm huge fan of the books and from the point of adaptation, the series is great, close to the original, has canonic details when it comes to the world of Riordanverse,
But...
It's a pity that such amazing and interesting events are shown so... boring. Every fight feels too quick and anticlimactic (except mb the minotaur one), jokes are very few and majority of screentime is just talking and giving exposition. Even in movie adaptation, which is not very good to say the least, there is some kind of action, jokes and it feels enjoyable and fun.

The exposition will die down as we get further it’s just unfortunately sort of necessary. Right now: it will die down eventually
I agree. I'm hoping it'll get better further on in the series.
I think every start of a new series needs exposition, so I'm hoping it's gonna get better later.
Yeah I agree about the action, I just feel is Disney watering down stuff unfortunately
Honestly don't remember much from the books but honestly I found this episode disappointing overall. Not really feeling the stakes or the characters for now.
