Alternatively: "Does that have any psychological effect on this child?" "Actually he's not a child. We aged him up to a teenager to appeal more to our audience of children." "That is how that works."
And it was plot relevant that he was 12. Due to the prophecy thing about a child of the big 3 making a choice at age 16 that decides the fate of Olympus or something. But nope! Movie ignores that completely.
Theres actually an explanation for the no PTSD thing. PJ Demigods are hardwired to be Heroes. Their brains are rearanged to make them better at surviving monster attacks.

Roaming_Guardian oh yeah that’s right. He got misdiagnosed with ADHD or something similar, but really he was a demigod.
The script as a whole is terrible,” Riordan wrote after naming some of the things he did like about the film. “I don’t simply mean that it deviates from the book, though certainly it does that to point of being almost unrecognizable as the same story. Fans of the books will be angry and disappointed. They will leave the theater in droves and generate horrible word of mouth. That is an absolute given if the script goes forward as it stands now. But the bigger problem is that even if you pretend the book doesn’t exist, this script doesn’t work as a story in its own right.”
I know right. I also envisioned this movie adaptation of Eragon that doesn’t exist that they could make a pitch meeting about. Oh, and then there‘re also possible pitch meetings on non existing Pirates of the Carribean sequels... So many options!

I love how the villain is set up to be Ares in the book but last page turns it into Luke lol. In this they literally were just like yeah Hades seems bad lets go with him 😂
As much as this is a terrible film to any percy Jackson fan, at the very least it led to me making the connection between filmmaking and the entrance to the underworld
We have a contender in the form of HOOT(starring Logan Lerman, and a tough blond), and The Kid Who Would Be King has the spirit, despite being Arthurian.
"This is the story of a kid who is having a hard time at life, but then he realizes he's part of a bigger magical world and he has power and he need to start his training," "Hey wait, that's Harry Potter!" "Really? I was thinking Shazam." "Huh, because Luke Skywalker is what popped into MY mind." "Are you sure? That description screams most of the X-Men to me."
@@dennisbeaman958 Yes a gene that let's them break physics up to and including the conservation of matter and energy. Face it, the X-factor is basically the "magic" gene.
@@ryanward5770 I don't quite think they were trying to pass off the actors as 12 year olds. Still, if Harry Potter could get so many great 12 year old actors, Percy Jackson could do the same.
@Cyrus Dodson-Sands It's the pestilence of our age. You simply cannot make a film adaptation without converting at least one character to black, gay or female. We are one step short of Beth Hur, the black Wright Sisters or Noah with his lifelong partner guy. (They should write something new with whatever setup they want, instead of breaking and ruining well established stories.)
Crotchwhistle Purple we are mad because it deviates from the book so much and is literally something different. I would not be mad if this was its own thing but it did not stay true to books that we percy jackson love.
@@zeromaniac5210 true but any young adults will have some psychological effects if they decapitat someone for the first time unless they have some mental problems
I personally wouldn't have cared that much if the ages of the characters was the biggest change. Sure, it would still lead to some issues later on in the series, but that could be easily fixed just by changing the prophecy a tiny bit. And maybe 12 to 17 was a bit of a huge jump, I think 15 would be better as there are a lot more good 15-year old actors than 12-year old ones.
While I still don't know why they did this(I mean Harry Potter starts when he's 11), I was more upset with the total annihilation of percy's character. He was witty, impulsive, loyal, brave, and kind of a lovable moron in the books. Honestly one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, even more so than Harry Potter. And then they made him into an angsty, boring, emotionless shell of a person. Hell Grover is more like book Percy's character in the movie! And it wasn't just percy, it was literally every single character. The only semi close correct casting was annabeth, but even then they turned her "slightly a know it all" attitude into straight up bitchiness. I really, really hope they get the show right. Percy jackson deserves an excellent adaption.
"There is no war in Ba Sing Se.. Or The Last Air Bender movie.." "There is no Percy Jackson movies in the fandom." "Same thing with the Artemis Fowl movies."
There was another movie he doesn't die... just forgot what it's called something about channing Tatum protecting a princess on earth from his step brother? Lol idk forgot
In case anyone is wondering, Ryan was kind of right why Olympus is on the empire state building. In the books, Olympus moves around the world and it just so happens to be in the west and the empire state building is kind of the center of the west.
Well the reason they all live in America is because in present time America is the most powerful nation and this is the same reason they lived in Greece in ancient times
yeah i wouldn't think too hard about it. They just have similar literature themes, that being the Heroes Journey. Imo tho Percy Jackson is objectively better, and this is coming from a massive Happy Potter stan
@@lucasrfma I disagree personally I just think they both have the same hero’s journey type story that’s been around since ancient times. But everyone is entitled to their opinion I don’t wanna start any beef 😂❤️
„He decapitates her.“ || „Wow, will this have any psychological effect on this child?“ || „Not even a little.“ Almost the very next scene: *Percy decapitates the Hydra three times in a frenzy of violence*

Once I got in though the whole time I was just saying to my mate oh no, this is all wrong, oh no why are they doing that, oh no they forgot this 😂 Bit of a laugh now if I’m honest
I saw the movie when I was 9. I never read the book so when I saw this I thought the book was boring as well. I read the book earlier this year and I was totally wrong. The book was great! The movie did this book so dirty.
SR Executive : So people are gonna subscribe to me? "Yes sir they will" SR Executive : But how? "Sir I'm gonna make them laugh so hard that their Asthma will kick in"
All Teenage Fiction novels share a lot of similarities. PJ and Harry Potter are pretty close but you can find the same themes from them in Hunger Games and Divergent and so on
So, how do they know how to fight Medusa? Well, Percy remembered how Medusa was killed in the myth. Wouldn't that mean that Medusa was already dead? Whoops, oh well.
@@tylerjefferies420 isn't that quite contradictory? I feel like having a soul is pretty essential in being resurrected, and depending on how you define a soul, an intrinsic property of something that can do so.
@@okkoheinio5139 Ask Rick Riordan, I didn't write the books, I assume the soul is what ties people to the real world and its rules so when they die, real people and animals and such stay dead. Their lack of souls removes this tie from the natural order of things, thus making it possible to resurrect. But Rick's explanation might be different, I don't know.
@@tylerjefferies420 I'd imagine it's because souls get collected by Hades and end up in the Underworld. If you don't have a soul, it can't get collected and so you can't go the underworld. It still doesn't explain how they reincarnate, but if they straight up didn't die in the first place then I think it make more sense and explains why Medusa's head can still turn people into stone even while decapitated.
Without getting into soul business, the simple explanation is, the supernatural beings like monsters, gods, titans can’t be killed completely. And when monsters die, they go to a place called Tartarus and they reform there and come back when they are strong enough. So yeah, monsters come back after they’re killed in this world.
you know it took me until this very moment to realize that he made the lotus a casino as a metaphor for how real people get sucked in and waste their time at casinos. I first read this book when i was like 12, i'm 24 now!!! facepalm lol

@Cyrus Dodson-Sands It's the pestilence of our age. You simply cannot make a film adaptation without converting at least one character to black, gay or female. We are one step short of Beth Hur, the black Wright Sisters or Noah with his lifelong partner guy. (They should write something new with whatever setup they want, instead of breaking and ruining well established stories.)

I disagree with one of the best. Even if done perfectly I doubt it would've been top 3, 5 or 10.
But it could've been an amazing movie for sure.

I had a feeling something was off about this movie when they aged up Percy from being 12 to being 17
I could deal with Percy being in high school
those usully happen because it's hard to work with kids.
Thats literally the least offensive bit about it, most kids aged 12 can't act.
I personally wouldn't have cared that much if the ages of the characters was the biggest change. Sure, it would still lead to some issues later on in the series, but that could be easily fixed just by changing the prophecy a tiny bit. And maybe 12 to 17 was a bit of a huge jump, I think 15 would be better as there are a lot more good 15-year old actors than 12-year old ones.
While I still don't know why they did this(I mean Harry Potter starts when he's 11), I was more upset with the total annihilation of percy's character. He was witty, impulsive, loyal, brave, and kind of a lovable moron in the books. Honestly one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, even more so than Harry Potter. And then they made him into an angsty, boring, emotionless shell of a person. Hell Grover is more like book Percy's character in the movie! And it wasn't just percy, it was literally every single character. The only semi close correct casting was annabeth, but even then they turned her "slightly a know it all" attitude into straight up bitchiness.
I really, really hope they get the show right. Percy jackson deserves an excellent adaption.

Hard to find a movie where Sean Bean doesn't die. Kudos to you, folks.
Talking of slaughtering ancient Greek mythology, you should do Troy
Hold up... you are telling me Troy isn’t a faithful recreation of the source material? So does that mean Legolas and Brad Pitt never even fought?
Shame- I actually enjoyed Troy.
Sean Bean has died in about a third of his roles, so there are quite a lot to pick from where he doesn't.
National Treasure... he goes into jail but he doesn't die.
The Martian... he just retires and plays golf.
There was another movie he doesn't die... just forgot what it's called something about channing Tatum protecting a princess on earth from his step brother? Lol idk forgot
In case anyone is wondering, Ryan was kind of right why Olympus is on the empire state building. In the books, Olympus moves around the world and it just so happens to be in the west and the empire state building is kind of the center of the west.
“ Why would the ancient Greek gods put the entrance to Olympus on an American landmark?”
“Beeecause, sir....” 😁 🇺🇸 🎇
Love it
The one thing I hate about the books is that all gods live in america. The Egyptians Norse Greek etc
OH YEAHHHH
Well the reason they all live in America is because in present time America is the most powerful nation and this is the same reason they lived in Greece in ancient times

„He decapitates her.“ || „Wow, will this have any psychological effect on this child?“ || „Not even a little.“

Did you heard of eragon? That is the chrismast special of starwars lvl of bad!!!
These movies weren't as bad as that.
It seems you haven't watched Artemis Fowl yet, I mean at least this movie was entertaining
That title belongs to Artemis Fowl, yuck!
It's funny because Dragonball evolution is even worse than this one.

There are many things in the Eragon movie they can make fun of. LOL
Don’t do it. I loved the Eragon series so much and they destroyed the movie. I can’t take it
OOF.
Another movie that thankfully doesn't exist.
You have to applaud the movie for one thing, Sean Bean is in it and he doesn't die. That has to be a feat on its own
After reading the Books, sitting through this movie was not easy and was definitely a inconvenience.
The only thing that I like about this movie is it inspired me to read the books.
Doctor: You only have a few more minutes to live

its still not even close to a summary, its like they read till Percy got to the camp then said, "enough of that, I can figure out the rest."
I never realized how PJ had such a close relation to Harry Potter until this video. Damn I am blind as hell LOL
It's actually more similar to Lord of The Rings in my opinion, the author did study Lord of The Rings.
Only superficial similarities to Harry Potter.
Y'know, for all the Harry Potter jokes in this video, I'm surprised there's no mention of the fact they got the same director.
All Teenage Fiction novels share a lot of similarities. PJ and Harry Potter are pretty close but you can find the same themes from them in Hunger Games and Divergent and so on

But in this circumstance, we'll allow it
So, how do they know how to fight Medusa? Well, Percy remembered how Medusa was killed in the myth. Wouldn't that mean that Medusa was already dead? Whoops, oh well.
In the book it's explained that monsters are able to come back because they have no soul.
@@tylerjefferies420 isn't that quite contradictory? I feel like having a soul is pretty essential in being resurrected, and depending on how you define a soul, an intrinsic property of something that can do so.
@@okkoheinio5139 Ask Rick Riordan, I didn't write the books, I assume the soul is what ties people to the real world and its rules so when they die, real people and animals and such stay dead. Their lack of souls removes this tie from the natural order of things, thus making it possible to resurrect. But Rick's explanation might be different, I don't know.
@@tylerjefferies420 I'd imagine it's because souls get collected by Hades and end up in the Underworld. If you don't have a soul, it can't get collected and so you can't go the underworld. It still doesn't explain how they reincarnate, but if they straight up didn't die in the first place then I think it make more sense and explains why Medusa's head can still turn people into stone even while decapitated.
Without getting into soul business, the simple explanation is, the supernatural beings like monsters, gods, titans can’t be killed completely. And when monsters die, they go to a place called Tartarus and they reform there and come back when they are strong enough. So yeah, monsters come back after they’re killed in this world.
@1:10 Okay, to be entirely fair... this is totally in character for the Olympians in Greek Mythology.
I would say that is in line with most gods in general. Weird deadlines have been the prefered method of pacing a battle since the ancient times.
