Hope yo guys enjoyed this! Here our reaction to episode 2 and our full reactions! EPISODE 2 REACTION th-cam.com/video/2jpVmNj7GzE/w-d-xo.html FULL REACTIONS www.patreon.com/posts/percy-jackson-1-95015208?Link&
One of my favorite things about this show and it’s casting is that Rick had conversations with the kids saying that no matter what anyone else says it doesn’t matter because I picked you. That’s got to mean so much.
I am a book reader and I loved these two episodes a lot! I think a lot of book readers seem to focus on a lot of the details that wasn't included but I do think some things had to be cut out to make it into a tv series, they might have even had more scenes but needed to cut it down. But even if they didn't, I don't think they left anything unimportant out. Unlike the movies
Yeah any changes they made or things they left out Rick approved, or even said was a better idea than what he originally wrote. So I’m not worried at all. In Uncle Rick I trust
saying that listening to matthew go on a ramble about percy jackson makes her happy bc it makes him so happy made ME so happy. i *did* stay on the long intro for the whole time and it's my first time watching you guys bc your dynamic was just really sweet and suppotive and made me smile so much before the reaction even started i'm so curious how non-book readers will feel so this was so much fun XD
Quick note that some people don’t pay for the full version of Hulu or Disney+ so they do have commercial breaks, that’s why they built them into the show.
Percy Jackson is my Harry Potter too! I definitely did become a Potterhead later on, but the Lightning Thief is what made me interested in reading as a kid
I don't think gabe would have the same end as in the boocks he is annoying and kinda bad but not as in the boocks or sally has better grip of herself than in the boocks so maybe leave him not kill him at the end
@@chadhiggins6884totally agree. At first Gabe is just a douche, but it’s what we see from him after Percy and Sally “go missing” that makes him horrible. And the reveal that gave us abusive comes at the end of the book, before that we have no reason to suspect that Gabe is abusive. And Sally Jackson is a woman who picked up a shotgun to battle the army of Kronos, you’re telling me she wouldn’t have fought back against Gabe even a little? Like I get not breaking up w him for his smell, but not even standing up a little bit? Since we don’t have Percy to tell us how Sally stands up to Gabe in her own way, I’m glad the TV show is showing us so we don’t think Sally is just some weak willed woman. There’s a reason Poseidon broke the oath for her.
@@TheIndianDeityAh, is that true? I actually forgot the reveal about the abuse was at the end, I thought he saw her flinch at the beginning. If it was at the end (or if the show depicts that later) then I'll be fine with Gabes character. He was the only thing I havent enjoyed about the show so far but that was because I had it in my mind that they revealed that at the beginning.
@@grice478 obviously we see the books from Percy’s POV so we can see that he doesn’t like Percy a bit more in the books than the show, but the reveal at the end of the book is that Gabe only abuses Sally whenever Percy isn’t around. I was so confused when people complained about a change in Gabe’s character because we aren’t supposed to know him to be abusive yet, just that he is a douche. And honestly there are clues that Sally is being abused. Gabe controls Sally’s phone, he controls Sally’s use of the car, he takes credit for all of the work Sally has done despite the fact he doesn’t have a job, he doesn’t respect Percy at all, he’s yelling at Eddie so loud we can hear him from the outside. Sally has to go outside just to not argue with him, because the second they meet on screen they start yelling at each other. It already seems like an unhealthy relationship to me. You have to remember that most abusive relationships aren’t abusive all the time, sometimes everything seems ok. But then other times is when things go bad. There’s an unrealistic portrayal of abusive relationships in media that they are abusive all the time and the abuse has to be physical to be valid, which just isn’t the case. There are seeds planted, just wait to see what happens in the rest of the show before you write it off as a character change for Gabe. Now there is a slight change to Sally’s character, in that she stands up to Gabe, and people can think of that what they will, but personally I like that she stands up to Gabe a little bit, at least when Percy’s around. It shows you can be a normal person and still be abused, you don’t have to be quite and reserved to validate the fact that you are abused. It also feels like show Sally is wayyy more likely to pick up a shotgun to attack the army of Kronos than TLT Sally is.
First time viewer. Big time percy jackson book fan. Great reaction. Please do rant away as much as you want lol. Especially cause you guys have the OG book reader fan and the blind reactor duo dynamic with great chemistry which is very rare. A small constructive criticism, personally the meme edits atleast for this vid was abit too much, but that's just me nitpicking. Earned a new sub. Excited to watch y'all react to the rest of the series 🙌
I appreciate the criticism! We’ve been experimenting with the edits and the data we review from increased watch time has driven our decisions on the edits, but we will take your criticism into consideration for future videos 👍
I just finished the 5th book and I loved them and I’m so happy with the tv show adaptation so far and can’t wait for the rest of the season I’m starting the heroes of Olympus series soon now too!
Awesome video 💯‼️I just found and subbed to your channel and I love 🧡 this series especially the little details to how it feels to be adhd and dyslexia because the films didn’t show that aspect of the books.
LOVE YOU GUYS ❤ I’m currently at work but wanted to comment to bring it back in a bit when I’m off! Let’s go book reader and no book reader I’m excited to see everyone’s reactions
Are u seriously never gonna review the flash just cus Ezra got accused of certain things that may or may not be true Idk I have not looked into that yet flash is a DC comic character and one of ur favorites so that's why I'm confused you didn't review the flash movie
I just this year read the Percy Jackson books they're good but magical feeling of Harry Potter wasn't reached idk maybe because the Greek gods weren't new to me
i think thats because the wizarding world is completely separate from the muggle world in terms of civilization and culture. but with the pjo world, all of it is incorporated in existing reality. the only difference is only half bloods can see it and normal humans can't. so theres actually nothing "magical" about it technically to begin with. its just another hidden reality so to speak.
Harry Potter has a feeling of escapism to it, sure it's set in the "real world" but there's an entire self-sustaining magical world that you get to escape into. You know if you're a witch or wizard you'd get to run away to Hogwarts and never have to learn Calculus or deal with Health Insurance. Percy Jackson, however, is still very grounded in the real world. Percy says it on page 1 of book 1, you DON'T want to be a half-blood. I love both book series very much, but that magical feeling that comes with stories like Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings or Narnia isn't there in Percy Jackson. On the flipside, however, kids with broken families will find themselves relating to, and healing from, the PJ books more often than the HP books.

ABSOLUTELY!!! If the man himself chose them then nothing else matters!
I am a book reader and I loved these two episodes a lot! I think a lot of book readers seem to focus on a lot of the details that wasn't included but I do think some things had to be cut out to make it into a tv series, they might have even had more scenes but needed to cut it down. But even if they didn't, I don't think they left anything unimportant out. Unlike the movies
I definitely agree!!
Yeah there are changes so far but with Rick riordan’s involvement. I’m not worried about them really cutting out important stuff
Yeah any changes they made or things they left out Rick approved, or even said was a better idea than what he originally wrote. So I’m not worried at all. In Uncle Rick I trust
They captured Percy's sass and Sally's amazingness, that's all I needed.
The way Matthew was completely blank face when she said Percy should push Nancy into the fountain.....pro behavior
😌😌
saying that listening to matthew go on a ramble about percy jackson makes her happy bc it makes him so happy made ME so happy. i *did* stay on the long intro for the whole time and it's my first time watching you guys bc your dynamic was just really sweet and suppotive and made me smile so much before the reaction even started

Awe thank you for your kind words! We are like this on and off screen and my wife is the best. ♥️ - M
Quick note that some people don’t pay for the full version of Hulu or Disney+ so they do have commercial breaks, that’s why they built them into the show.
Yeah I forgot that was a thing
Also, the black screens match book chapter switches
Percy Jackson is my Harry Potter too! I definitely did become a Potterhead later on, but the Lightning Thief is what made me interested in reading as a kid
Same! I couldn’t stop reading those books after lighting thief lol
Book reader here, I am SO HAPPY you're checking this out & I am SO THRILLED this seems to be a VERY faithful adaptation
I don't think gabe would have the same end as in the boocks he is annoying and kinda bad but not as in the boocks or sally has better grip of herself than in the boocks so maybe leave him not kill him at the end
Well in the books he was abusive. And he may be in this as well as Percy doesn’t realize until later in the book.

Nah he can go. His worst bits in the books are still yet to come.

I love the series already, the characters and the story are accurate to the books and the action looks great as well. Way better than the movies too
Couldn't agree more
His face when sally ‘died’ was hilarious
First time viewer. Big time percy jackson book fan.
Great reaction. Please do rant away as much as you want lol. Especially cause you guys have the OG book reader fan and the blind reactor duo dynamic with great chemistry which is very rare. A small constructive criticism, personally the meme edits atleast for this vid was abit too much, but that's just me nitpicking.

The narration style is how it’s done in the books 10:37 🤗

Thank you for supporting Stebie!
New like and subscribe! I loved the ramble
Basically they changed it to where no one could see what was happening with Percy and the teacher. It just looked like he passed out
I am here
Welcome!
edetin is .....
I also don't like the 5-second black screen cuts. They always took me out of the immersion.
Are u seriously never gonna review the flash just cus Ezra got accused of certain things that may or may not be true Idk I have not looked into that yet flash is a DC comic character and one of ur favorites so that's why I'm confused you didn't review the flash movie

@@Matthewvhaynes trash ass channel that can't take criticism

It's different type of magic tho, completely different vibe in the books too
