Actually, guys, the "retro shopping music" was La Marseillese, the national anthem of France. ☺ I guess it was a nod towards the French's habit to chop off people's heads during thr revolution, which is what Prokrustes did in the book.
I’m hoping the fight with Ares is going to be much longer than the other fights, and maybe they were giving themselves space for later, because Percy is still very young and he’s going to grow into one of the best fighters in the whole franchise. If the fights start out super complex and epic there’s nowhere for them to go from there. Th final book is a multi day series of battles almost nonstop. They’ll get to the big fight scenes when it’s worth the screentime.
I hope so too but when I think of all the things they'll have to fit into the episode (the fight, returning the bolt, percy talking to his dad, Gabe, his mom. returning to camp, Annabeth and her Dad conversation, the manhunt for Percy ending and dealing with the thief) I'm really wondering how they're going to fit it all in one episode
Yeah, Last Olympian will be very big and grandiose. They had to film a full war going on, with alot of CGI monsters. It's like endgame, but with greek mythology stuff. Lol. Can't wait for them to adapt it.
The reason Poseidon can’t be with or see Percy is due to the pact he made with Zeus and Hades. Their children were largely responsible for WW2, and after the devastation they caused the world they realized their children were too powerful. If Poseidon had spent time with Percy, the other gods would have found out and it probably would have started a war right there and Zeus at the very least would have tried to kill Percy
Isn't the WW2 plot a reveal of the third season/book? Would be fine if you just left it out, unless that can be a spoiler of some sort. For how they showed it in this season, I'd go with Poseidon respecting Sally's request and their pact.
I loved your thoughts at the end there!! I adore the character and relationship development in the show. On the surface, this is a story about gods, demigods, and monsters - but deep down it's a story about the complexities of *family.* I'm so glad you are connecting with that 💛 I love Sally. She was truly going through it in this episode. The actor is incredible!!
Thank you!!! While I agree with some of the critisism of the show (pacing, Episode lenght, Tension) , I really wouldn't like a super action-Percy-Jackson-Show. I feel like people want everything to be GOT this day, why can't a adventure-show just be that: a adventure-show for kids. And I think it really beautifully shows the kids emotions/journey and the value of friendship and has the books heart in it. (I'm seeing many people upset that it isn't a 1:1 book-adaption and I think a adaptation that feels like the books makes so much more sense).
I fully agree. A lot of the magic of Percy Jackson is honestly in the creative/weird/silly ways the characters deal with the trouble they get into. Sometimes the solution is a red ball, not a grand battle with Cerberus
Tbh producers thinking they have to listen to the audience and have action packed episodes everyday in detriment to the plot and flow of the story is what made GOT tank in the first place, first seasons were the best and also way more chill than the following ones
GOT was boring in the first 2 seasons, with battles happening off screen, because of budget reasons. When it exploded we got them on screen. I really hope Percy Jackson gets renewed for all 5 seasons.
@@hikari9262 yes but also i don’t want this show to be just action without character growth. Until season 5 and by that time we are so invested in the characters. Irs a budget thing and tbh it’s still a kids show, it won’t be graphic
The sand represents a time turner. Kronos/Saturn/Grim Reaper/Father Time is in pieces to represent the division of time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. The fact Percy has already run out of time because of the passing of the solstice points to the fact that Kronos has already won, even if only in some small way.
They had to show Ares on the beach in every trailer to show that the biggest omission screw up of the movie was not being repeated. Percy's fight against Ares is one of the biggest moments in the entire book series, as well as the climax of book one, and the movie deleted it. It's sort of the defining moment of the movie being a terrible adaptation, not to mention failing to mention Kronos even once.
you are spot on with saying that the action has been supplemented with character development! one of the reasons the percy jackson books is so loved is because of the characters and specifically the relationship within annabeth, percy, and grover. yes, the show goes through certain scenes fairly quickly, especially when compared to the "action" parts of the book however, i think they're really focusing on building these characters up for first time watchers. i'm sure they'll be able to add onto this as the show develops and the seasons take on more serious source material.
I know I'm late, but as a mom of kids with special needs, I related so much to Sally's struggles. I'm glad I finally found a channel who could see that, too.
Words cannot describe how much that means to us. I was a sick kid growing up so as an adult I completely understand how hard it was for my parents and how much they sacrificed. A parent's job is never easy, know we understand.
That pit is the entrance to Tartarus, the deepest part of the underworld that the Titans and the worst monsters are imprisoned in. It's deadly to just step in there.
OH MY GOD THE POST EPiSODE BREAKDOWNS ARE SO GOOD THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH SHARiNG YOUR THOUGHTS SO OPENLY YOU GUYS ARE SO EMOTiONALLY iNTELLiGENT AND COMPASSiONATE ♥️♥️♥️ everytime i watch your breakdowns/reactions it makes me enjoy the show more than i already did cause you help me notice things i haven't before ♥️♥️♥️ GO TEAM SAVE SALLY JACKSON 💪🏼😤♥️
Awesome video ‼️💯 your PJO reaction videos are amazing and definitely a favourite of mine. I am following along with the books and I have theory that these books and now the series main theme is friendships as well as understanding that if one has adhd it doesn’t mean that one is limited. Also living with adhd makes making and keeping friends super difficult. Also Percy’s fatal flaw is excessive loyalty which is why he keeps sacrificing himself. Annabeth’s fatal flaw is hubris. Imho fatal flaws are supposed to represent specific adhd traits. Also I love Hades and all the gods in the series they are all amazing 💯‼️ also Hades’ palace in the underworld is modelled after the opposite of Olympus because he is considered to be the black sheep of the gods.
omg youre so right about character development vs fight choreo...mind you percy is a great fighter, but he isnt that type of action hero yet. so season 1 was going to be light on action regardless!
i think that they spoiled the percy and ares fight for the book readers 😭 because it is like THE scene in the book and we’ve been waiting to see it in live action since the failure that were the movies and rick KNOWS THIS
I feel like if you watch the show first before reading the book you’ll love it but if you read the book before watching the show you’re not gonna like the show that much. Well doesn’t mean that the show is bad but It’s like the lightning thief 2.0 ver and i’m gonna stick with the original ver. The books still superior. It happened to me with harry potter as well tho, I watched the movies before i read the books and i like the movies but after i read the books i realized that the movies weren’t good enough.

In case you guys didn't notice, there was a clap of thunder when Posiden was about to turn and look at Percy. That was a warning from Zues.
yes, I heard it, too. Zeus is such a jerk.
I heard it as well. But that would imply Zeus knew for a bit about Poseidons forbidden kid.
Actually, guys, the "retro shopping music" was La Marseillese, the national anthem of France. ☺ I guess it was a nod towards the French's habit to chop off people's heads during thr revolution, which is what Prokrustes did in the book.
Oh wow, what a trivia.

They’ll get to the big fight scenes when it’s worth the screentime.
to be fair the fights in the books aren’t really that long 😭
@@unknownunion-u2jbut they are technical. Percy was said to be one of the best fighters skill wise in the second book already.
@@Kbax3614 but we’re in the first season…soo
I hope so too but when I think of all the things they'll have to fit into the episode (the fight, returning the bolt, percy talking to his dad, Gabe, his mom. returning to camp, Annabeth and her Dad conversation, the manhunt for Percy ending and dealing with the thief) I'm really wondering how they're going to fit it all in one episode

@@matchababy8485 I mean they may make that reveal for later but we find that out relatively early in the books
Grover was picking at his horns like how his mom mentioned in episode 2. She gave him the ball to focus on something else. Stress ball
yes, I love how they keep coming back to some of these seemingly insignificant details.
Zeus didn’t allow him to get close with Percy. You hear the lightning. It was a warning and he is in danger

Sally Jackson fans assemble!!
Oh my god I'm French... and I just realized this was La Marseillaise playing in the background when they enter Crusty's shop T_T
Off with his head 😂
Fun fact: Toby Stephens (Poseidon) is Maggie Smith's (McGonagall) son. 😊😂 just wanted to put it out there
It’s awesome that the guy that plays Poseidon is Maggie Smiths son. Also in one of the greatest tv shows ever Black Sails.

Dog whistle! I didn't realize that's why it didn't seem to make so much noise. Never heard a dog whistle in my life but that makes sense.
I love seeing asphodel because it becomes a key location for some of my favorite characters.
That pit is the entrance to Tartarus, the deepest part of the underworld that the Titans and the worst monsters are imprisoned in. It's deadly to just step in there.
Great episode!
The kingdom of the underworld is beautiful!
Hades and Poseidon were characterized well!
I love all the gods introduced in this series!
This was such a crazy episode
9:53 lol yes glad you noticed that now it’s important 😂

"Death from Supernatural" was 100% my first reaction when I saw him pop out
BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!

Satyrs age slower than humans or demigods. Even though Grover is 24 years old, in satyr terms, he is still a teenager.
Awesome reaction 😃

The gods are banned to be close with their kids and, most of the time, the don't care, don't know why, they never explain if i remember
