Corrections:
1. No one knew that Percy was the son of Poseidon. Which is why they were trying to figure out what he’s good at. The only person that may have known is Annabeth. She had an idea of who he was.
2. Clarisse hating Percy has nothing to do with his father but more so about glory. She doesn’t like that he came into camp killing a monster and people are talking about it. He stole her thunder and she’s no happy.
3. The fades to black is probably cause there’s a ad version on Disney plus as while as it might be because of the chapters in the books.
4. It wasn’t hades that was speaking to Percy in that weird scary voice, it was Kronos.
Yeah I think I covered everything? Sorry if this reaction is annoying. Kinda feel anxious about it but moving forward I’ll go with these things in mind. Thank you.
Nooo, you're not annoying at all. I enjoyed your genuine reactions and it's okay to mix things up since you haven't read the book for a long time. And since I do not have much recollection of the movies, I like that it's your point of comparison so I can really prove that this is way better than the movies.
just letting you know, you weren't supposed to know about Kronos yet and this persons who told you about the voice spoiled you pretty heavily. Like book wise the mysterious voice we are not meant to know who it is until later on.
I think you should perhaps make it clear you only want to know things that have been explained so far in the tv show or you might get more spoilers for the future and it could spoil the reaction?
@@pipercharms7374 I knew of Kronos before since I did read the books so it was more of like a “OMG I forgot about him” but I do agree that it’s probably better for me to just figure it out as it goes that way I’m not spoiled by something. so I’ll make sure to clarify that for the next one. Thank you!
Girl you’re not annoying at all you made me even more excited for this show and how it will progress more then I already was. I’m also one of those people who wants all the action to be just like the books but seeing you love it how it is made me so much more okay with the changes and just hyped in general. Please don’t worry about being perfect with information at all, that’s the fun in this, different interpretations and stuff as well as learning as the world/story grows. I can’t wait to watch the rest of your reactions to the show ☺️❤. Also you’re literally so funny and genuine you had me laughing the whole time like I loveeeeed this video :)
No you're legit funny 😭 We fr the same person
The casting for Anabeth and Clarisse was perfect, and whoever says otherwise is entitled to their incorrect opinion.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👏
I guess we're just lying for no reason.
I mean, they don't look like they are in the books, but that's OK, they're both great
Idk abt Clarisse, she gives popular mean girl vibes and idk how to feel abt it. I haven’t seen much of Annabeth yet, but she seems pretty good. Only complaint is I feel like Percy wasn’t that funny enough 😭😭 The amount of second hand embarrassment I felt from some lines he had…
If I recall, They did not know that Percy was Poseidons son untill he claimed Percy. I assuming that Annabeth had a suspicion after the toilet thing which is why she pushed him into the water
Thank you! I didn’t recall that! But that totally makes sense. Appreciate not getting mad at me for sounding dumb 😭
@@CaitybTV everyone makes mistakes, I certainly have. 😁👍
30:10 Yeah. That was Annabeth's plan. 😂 She used him as a bait knowing that Clarisse would go for him.
Annabeth was a genius for that ngl 🤣😭👏🏽
i always want more Annabeth (Leah is so good!) but i think that the decision to show more Luke and Percy interaction in episode 2 was very smart
12:05 You're right. Gabe was toned down. Even in the books he was annoying and more abusive. Maybe because this is Disney so they won't show too much of that.
I lowkey hate that because it plays a huge part in why he was in Percy’s and his mom’s life as long as he was 😓
They also toned down Mrs.Dodds Scene … felt kinda lack luster compared to the book or to the movie even but I love how young Percy is and how we actually feel he is an outsider
@@superjoseivanablebecause there spending more time on the quest so they cut a lot of scenes.
It’s was changed by Rick, Rick has been hella hella involved in tweaking their original vision when he Co Created it. I love the additions for the most part! Grover’s acting sorta feels weird at times, but I’m looking past it since it’s only it’s like first two episodes at least!
@@superjoseivanable I agree with Gabe's character. I feel like they won't murder him now since they should show that it was justified first. 🥲 But, I wanted that scene to happen so bad.
I'm okay with the Mrs. Dodds scene, I liked the way they made it seem like just a dream. The gaslighting worked well and I can feel percy's confusion and questioning of reality. I think they also saved the first battle for the minotaur.
@@austinmills1652 hopefully we get a second season tho and Disney can give them a bigger budget for more episodes
“This boy has been through hell and back” yes, quite literally, through hell and back
The fade to black is definitely cuz it’s a tv show. On Disney+ if you get commercials they fit perfectly
I'm pretty sure it's showing chapter breaks
If you wlow down the Nancy scene, you can actually see that the water behind her is bending to pull her into the fountain.
Oooo nice catch!
CANNOT BELIEVE that you are actually reacting to Percy Jacksonnnn like I literally screamed when I saw this. Thank you, Caitlin 🥰🥰
Wooo! Let’s goo!
Clarisse’s hating Percy has nothing to do with his Father. In the episode Luke talks about how Glory is everything and that’s why Clarisse hates him we also have Percy say that he’s going to make his father see him. This basically tells us that the Gods are watching them so that probably angers Clarisse because Percy who knows nothing and isn’t even claimed shows up and is said to defeat a monster with his bare hands and it makes her upset, he’s stealing all the glory.
Thanks for breaking it down for me like that. That does makes sense! I understood the glory part but didn’t connect it to her in that way I guess. Appreciate it!
You also have to remember that Clarisse has to put on the tough act to stand out more to her father Aries, who is very open with that he prefers his sons over his daughter.
Yeah,only in the movie is Poseidon from the beginning revealed to be Percy’s father.This is probably because in the lightning thief’s adaptation,I’m sure Annabeth and Clarisse were combined;as she fights Percy and I’m sure hates him because their parents aren’t that fond of eachother.I heard or read that in the book;the others guessed that Percy parent was one of the big 3 (Zeus,Poseidon and Hades).
@darknorman2914 The first movie did combine Annabeth and Clarisse into one person. That's why her character felt so off. They damage controlled that in the second movie but then majorly changed Clarisse's character. Now she flirted with percy more than hated him and thought it was cool when the camp got attacked. Not like book Clarisse at all. Also, Athena and Poseidon hating each other was never touched on in either of the movies.
When I watched it I really liked how they made Smelly Gabe more of a bum instead of an abuser. I know it’s because ✨Disney✨ but I liked it because it didn’t give me as much of anxiety. Sally Jackson is the love of my life and I hated Gabe so much in the books.
I agree! The show is already tackling complex themes like bullying and abandonment. I also think it would have been much harder to watch because the show casting isn't aged up like the movies.
the movie got it right with ms. dodds cuz they did re-enter the museum. i think they changed it here because they wanna show that the mist was being manipulated heavier so that even mr. brunner and grover didn’t realize that dodds was a fury. i was hoping for something intense too, but it doesn’t really detract much from the story so i don’t mind as much. plus dodds is supposed to come back later on in the books so they might’ve saved the battle for that.
i’m currently rereading through the lightning thief now and i didn’t realize how sad percy was in the books. imagine being abandoned by your father before he was even born. getting kicked out of school for the sixth time after trying his best to stay in. and then losing your mom too. and he was just 12 too. like…percy was going through it, but he overcame everything because of how much he loved his mom. which is why i’m really happy that the show really shows you how much percy and sally care for each other so much.
I'm a 42+ white male, i could care less who they cast as Annabelle, race doesn't mean shit to me. She plays the character well that's all I care about.
YUP! 👏🏽
It's interesting how people like you focus so much on how people were only upset about Annabeth's appearance before the show aired. Basically making it seem that people who didn't like it in the beginning, whether it was your intention or not, are probably racist in some ways. The fact you had to point out that you are a white man is weird and again brings focus to race.To me, race swapping an already existing character of a different appearance seems lazy to me if it's ONLY for the sake of inclusion.
The thing is that it was NOT just Annabeth! It was Grover and even Percy being BLONDE that people talked about before. Annabeth is just one of the examples.
It's not specifically about race. It's fans not liking people changing their beloved characters that already exist in a different form.People in general only got over their appearance because of their ACTING true in character (except for Grover-that's a whole other thing though).
@@TheOMGRamen Where was the outrage over Tom Hardy portraying Bane then? Or people complaining about Ras Al Ghul. Regardless, you just copied and pasted your complaints from a form. Pathetic at best.
@@TheOMGRamen Not to mention the whole Medusa thing which throws your entire concept out.
You think you are going to get applause for saying this? It’s so embarrassing that White people feel like they have to bend backwards to please different races “look at me!! I’m an intellectual person! I only care about the acting🤌” her acting wasn’t even good.
Is SO GOOD, we finally have a good adaptation of Percy Jackson
the episodes come out every wednesday 9pm EST. the first week was the only time they released two at once. also the reason why clarisse screamed like that when her spear broke is because it was the first and only gift her father Ares ever gave her (basically ignored her after), so it was her most treasured possession
To provide context for Percy's relationship with his dad, in the books Poseidon does care but a Gods definition of parental care is a lot different from our own. Percy comes to understand that over the course of several series, but the complexity of that relationship is something i really love about the series! Thats why i dont love the movies take on it because ultimately Poseidon is a God that is too busy and doesnt really care to be there the way Percy thinks a parent should and thats why Luke and many other demigods turn against them and even though Percy disagrees with bringing Kronos back, he understands why they feel abandoned by the gods because they are all very shitty parents
Went into the first episodes with no real expectations and walked away so pleasantly surprised! They captured the feeling of the characters and book so well so far
The vibe of this channel is immaculate, I swear
Thank you so much 🥹💕 - means a lot!
anyone else adopt percy right there and then? 🤣🤣 i’m just as excited as you are about the series!! (it’s been a long time since i read the books so i forgot some things too lol)
great reaction miss ma’am ❤
you're one of my favorite kpop reactors and now you're reacting to an adaptation of my favorite childhood book series! so excited to see where the series goes and watch your reactions
i wasn’t expecting you to do a reaction to the show so this was such a wonderful surprise. i read the books when they were coming out as a kid and loved the percy jackson universe so much. they did such a great job with the casting and i can’t wait for episode three🥹
OMGGGG I had no idea you were reacting to this!!! My favorite reactor of 3 years and my fav books series😭🥰🥰
Caitlin, you never cease to make me happy! Love that you're reacting to this too!
🥹💕
YAAYYY I WAS HOPING YOU'D WATCH THIS!! I always love your k-content, but it's so fun when you do content on other stuff I also enjoy, and Percy Jackson is pretty iconic in my life so I'm happyyyy :D
omg caitlin 😭 i'm so glad you did this reaction! so cool watching someone I like reacting to this show^^ hopefully you'll continue with the show, don't worry about people getting angry, some people are just nitpickers and annoying hahahaha these 2 episodes were more setting up the lore and the characters, so the next ones are going to be even better hopefully! the episodes are going to be released every tuesday night, I think 9pm in the US??
Thank you 🥹💕
Appreciate the kindness! So excited to continue next Tuesday! 🎉
OMG STOP THIS IS A WHOLE CROSSOVER EPISODE FOR ME AAAAAA YESSS THX
If you want to relive the books and get a refresh I recommend The Newest Olympian podcast. 10/10
I think he got invited to the premiere because his podcast got so popular. 🤣
@@carlycchapman he did. He’s been releasing interview snippets with the show runners as well
I just want to say (not targeted to the creator of this video or anyone in particular) but we need to spread good word and good review for this show so that it at least gets greenlit for a season 2 please. Yes there are minor changes from the books and yes we all need to get our opinions out there but if there is no s2 they will never get a chance to improve from s1. Pleeeeeeaaaassseee
I agree but honestly I’m just someone that wanted to share my experience. I did spread good word for this and hopes it gets picked up for another season but I’m not a channel that will dissect it in a technical aspect. There’s other channels for that. movieflame is a good one by the way! Love them!
I honestly don’t think a reaction is going to do that. People just have to want to watch it you know?
I loved the "glory" scene with Luke and Percy. That scene made Percy look like the kids he is, his reasoning is just like a kid would think things through.
So excited to watch this series along with you!! It has been so good already and i just know it will get better and better! Thank you for reacting and please don't worry about not remembering some things or getting others wrong, we're all here to enjoy the ride and have a good time :D anyways thanks again and have a good one
omggg i didn't think you'd react to this! so excited, i love percy jackson sm
Ahhhh I’m so excited you’re covering this series
omggg i didn´t know you were reacting to these so so excited to watch with you!!
THE WAY I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU DID TV REACTIONS AND YOURE DOING PJO OMG
LOL I’ve been trying to tell y’all!
They did an astonishing job with the emotions in this show, they just existed in the movie, but here we really connect to him, maybe even more than in the books, and we get to see so much of Sally as well.
i’ve been following ur kpop vids for so long but i had no idea abt this channel or the fact you’d react to the show OMGG IM SO HAPPYY 😭💗💗
really liked this video! please keep doing it for the rest of the series. I cant find that many interesting creators that are posting videos like this about the series. Looking forward to more!
so excited for this omg :’)) pjo is so special to me and i love watching you talk about things! don’t worry if you don’t remember details perfectly lol just have a good time
Your energy is infections and endearing, can't wait to follow the series with you
Normally I follow your other channel for Kpop stuff but omg Percy Jackson reaction!!!! So excited for this
So excited you're reacting to PJO!!! This video is so good!😂👏🏼 I already follow your kpop channel so I was pleasantly surprised to discover your tv channel with this :) looking forward to more pjo!
Thanks so much for reacting, and love your set with the tiny tree! Happy holidays!
Yess! These episode were like diving back into the books for the first time! It was amazing to share it with my younger brother who hasn't read the books... he's interested in reading them now which is great but it was exciting to experience this world with him.
Okay I am proud to be Greek at times like this..😂😭 I love this series..they did a great job🎉🤍
The dreams aren’t actually Hades, they’re Kronos
OH FUCK you right! Thank you! 😅 damnn
Your excitement makes it fun. THANKSSSS
Awesome reaction!! As someone who grew up reading the books I love all the attention the show is getting! Can't wait to see the rest
Girllll I watch you for your kpop reacts and I just now discovered this channel lol! So excited to see your reactions to my favorite childhood book series🥳
1. Adaptations should be judged on their own storytelling merit, not on how they compare to the source material. Adapting to live action demands changes because it's a very different storytelling structure than literature, graphic novels and comics, video games, and animation. One of the keys is grounding it in reality since we are seeing real people interact in a 'real' world, often with fantastic elements.
2. Having the creator of the source material is not a guarantee of quality. Plenty of creators have been involved, often at a high level and the adaptation still failed as a story. What is important is that whoever is involved is a good storyteller and understands my first point.
I didn't read the books and didn't care for the movies, partly because fantasy centered around magic isn't normally my cup of tea, but this show is pretty good so far.
Yessss! I clicked so fast!!! Thanks Caitlin
Caitlin please do it till the end. My jaw dropped finding you reacted to this. Percy is my top one fav novels 🥹 so im excited too! Thanks!
I’m already making people mad so Idk…but I am excited for more from the show!
I heard people talking bad about this show, and I admit there are some things I would change about it, but watching the movies made me remember how much of an improvement the show is, and coming here and revisiting the first couple of episodes reminds me how much amazing things they put in the show, it is not perfect, but so much is beautiful about it.
I think the fade to blacks are because it’s airing on Hulu too (and next year D+ & Hulu are becoming one) and Hulu has a tier with ads. Also they can air it on the ABC networks with natural breaks.
My favorite youtuber reacting to my favorite show ?!!!!!
What a christmas gift
Omg Caitlin! I can't believe you're watching PJO! Btw you are my favorite reactor for this series. Love youuu
Girlll!!! I was waiting for you to react to something I watch
Yay i loved this reaction thanks so much
Omggg I’m excited for this!!!! From Kpop to Percy. Let’s go!!!!!!
Loved your reaction!
Camp Half-blood looks like Camp Half-blood. Even though the cabins are shaped differently, and there are slight discrepancies, it feels like home, like Percy Jackson.
Caitlin! I didn't realize you were reacting to Percy Jackson until the other day. I haven't read the books (but I watched the first movie) but it's my new favorite show. Thanks for the reaction!
Omg, Caitlin!! I didnt know you have this channel. I love PJO!! Thanks for this! 🫶🏻
caitlyn + pjo ,, what?!?!? omg una mezcla que jamás me imaginé ver
Every "oh the movies did it this way" was painful. Poisedon appearing randomly, talking to percy in his head and the meeting with zeus never happend in the books. That was made for the movie only.your best bet is to forget everything you saw in those movies like they dont exist
I understand. It was just my way of grasping everything I guess cause I didn’t remember the book material. I’ll move forward forgetting everything and just enjoying as if I haven’t read the book or watched the movies. I think I’ll have more fun that way (even tho I was excited in this.) thank you.
I love your enthusiam. This is how I felt as well and btw, Disney shows like this usually do two episodes to start out with and then go to one episode weekly on Wednesdays. Just to let you know. That's how many I've followed have done on this streaming service.
Correction: Tuesdays at 9 pm EST
Caitlin you’re my favorite reactor in all senses, I love your EXO reactions and I did not know that you will react to PERCY! ❤
I think the “Mist” most shows and movies call it a shimmer I think kind of like a veil to disguise things. Also I just started the show and I loved it right away. Also the effects/make up for the furry is badass 😌
I've been looking for this channel since you first mentioned it on your main! So happy the YT algorithm finally recommended it and super excited to view this series reactions. So much to catch up on now! 💛
Yay! Have fun! 💕 hope you enjoy!
Omg your laugh is so contagious 😂😂
Queen of Kpop and YA TV reactions???? YESSSSS
OMG A PERCY JACKSON REACTION OMG OMG
Release are 9pm eastern on Tuesdays
“shouldn’t he try something with water?” no one including him, knows who his father is.
I do like how Annabeth, of course doesn't know, but clearly suspects it and acts on that suspicion
@@omalleycaboose5937 i liked that too!
Yeah like i said…not going off the books cause I don’t remember so maybe that was clear and I just didn’t get that 😅
@@CaitybTV it was very clear. and how would they know who his dad is if he wasn’t claimed? 😭
@@CaitybTV in the movies Chiron just tells him who his dad is by bringing Percy to his cabin because the books aren’t accurate at all. and it doesn’t make sense either why would he know for sure who percy’s dad is? lol
percy didn't fight the minotaur without powers, not exactly. his skills/powers are boosted in water, so the rain was a big help
I read that the cuts to black in the show coincide with chapters ending/starting in the books!
I… I’ve been casually watching you react to Kpop for years now and I just found this?!?
The ending credits foreshadow the rest of the series
Woah I know you from bubbles but this popped up on my recommended BC I love pjo
I was like 'is that the ayo bubbles girl??'
WAIT OMG IS THAT CIX I HEARD IN THE INTRO!!!!!! MA BOISSS
edit: typo
👀👀👀
Hey so I was introduced to Percy Jackson through the movies which inspired my to attempt to read the books but I never could get past 6 or 7 chapters however it never stopped my interest in Greek mythology. Prior to covid I didn't know fans of the book series had grievances with the movies but I lovin the show right now and looking forward to next episode
The cast is amazing! Also age appropriate for once
My fav reaction so far ur so funny and girl dw about mistakes this show isn’t only for mega fans 😭
The fades to black are edited in because there’s an ad supported version of Disney+
For this and &audition I'm ready to become a patron, I'm gonna cry 😭🫶
my fave kpop reactor reacting to percy jackson?!?! A win for me 😭
No in the book Mrs dodds asked him to talked in private.but I like this too because they are introducing the mist already
Girl, I didn't know you have this second channel, and you're reacting to pj??? I'm sat!
one of my fav youtubers is also a percy fan? taste
Gabe was a lil toned down (i actually kind of liked him,his chemistry with Virgina & Walker seemed great)
Ig cuz Disney?? But i hope they keep that “TV news” scene w/ him
I’m absolutely in love with Dior & Charles (as Clarrise & Luke respectively)
Walker is just perfect
You made me watch this
I loved thouse 2 episodes
Question because I am drawing a blank, and can't find it on the episode cast lineup. Who is the tree that Grover is talking to before he meets with the council of Cloven Elders? Is that suppose to be Juniper??
Percy Jackson on top>>>
I’m assuming the fades to black were for commercials (yeah Disney has em now for some tiers) or to symbolize “chapters” ending?
A WIN AFTER WIN AFTER WIN FOR MEEEEE ILYSMMMM
The season I am most excited for right now is Titan's Curse.
11:01 going to rewatch the movies and I’ll be back, because I’m so lost here 😂😂😂 been a long while since I’ve seen the movies
There NEVER was a set of Percy Jackson movies. There WAS, however, a set of Peter Johnson movies (this, from a 45 year old who is a MASSIVE fan of the books)!
If this series goes well I might have to rethink my feelings on them redoing the Harry Potter series as a show. First couple of episodes and I'm all in
