So so not really enjoy much and hope it get better with a season 2 if not cancelled in the first place by Disney.
Absolutely fantastic season 1. Episode 8 is probably my favorite episode with 5 close behind.
The Show is better and more accurate than the movies but it's pacing is way too fast and the show doesn't process things at all. Also the characters were a bit altered and so was the story and plot.
@@TJColeman-qs3gd Of course the pacing is fast, we only have 8 episodes to cover the 1st book (damn Disney).
When you say "the show doesn't process things at all" which things are you referring to?
Rick literally said he updated the story to "modern times" so I expected things to be slightly different.
The only change I'm not sure about is Hades personality. But otherwise I love every single change they made!
Hades never broke the promise you got your information wrong both his children were born before the promise they were just kept in the Lotus casino after Alecto check them to the River Lethe and erase their memories
It’s been a while since I read the books so correct me if I’m wrong but Nico di Angelo is a child of Hades right and younger then Percy
@@coasttocoast2011yes Nico appears to be younger than Percy and based on appearance and behaviour he is. But in reality he and his sister Bianca are a lot older than Percy as they were born in the 1930. They just didn't age because they stayed in the Lotus casino.
@@ki_leeg Ah, that’s who misty meant. I definitely need to re-read the books again
@@ki_leeg yes their memory was erased. It’s all in the third book The Titans Curse.
They actually talk about it and discuss how they’re not like Percy and Thalia, but they were born before the promise
Hazel from Heroes of Olympus is also a child of Hades (technically Saturn). From the 1920s if I remember correctly. She was brought back to life by Nico while searching for his sister. A lot of humans were coming to life in that series since the Doors of Death were opened.
What I didn't like about the movies was that they portrayed Hades as abusive monster. Which isn't true at all. If anything, Zeus was more abusive than Hades.
I think it was the reverse for the Lucifer tv series; the book has it wrong but the tv series got it right.
@@beck86bro the frick
@@beck86uhhh.. lucifer was based on a character by Neil Gaiman in the sandman series, the Lucifer TV series got it very wrong. Lucifer in the Sandman series is more accurate to what Niel Gaiman wrote.
I loved when he was claimed by Poseidon in the series. It was missing in the movie
I was laughing hilariously watching Percy try to get out of the parking garage in the cab. Then they showed the exit and played dramatic music. 😂
This series made interrsted in checking out the books. That's how well written and well adapted this series is
Agree
Yes after i watched Percy Jackson series i read the book and now im getting into the next book 2
That's because the new tv show had direct involvement with the author himself. He was involved in all aspects of the show, the producers made sure of it.
I really enjoyed this series, the characters felt more like their book counterparts, and the child actors were wonderful across the board. I hope that it receives a second season.
Number 1 should be, that they got the correct villain. In movies that made Hades look like the Big baddie and omitted Ares completely. Here they finally showed Ares and their battle!!
My one pet peeve about the disney+ series is that he hasn't said Riptide's name yet. COME ON!!
Also one of my favorite memes is
Chiron: This is a save place for demigods
Satyr: What about the shirts sir?
Chiron: Make them BRIGHT Orange.
They even said the name of Luke’s sword! Backbiter gets a call out but not Ridetide?!?
Yes I wanted that too. But then I thought they might introduce it in Titan's curse with the whole back story.
Having Rick Riordan involved with the TV series made a big difference. The TV series is more faithful to the books. Aiming for a family friendly audience is also good.
"Are you stalking me Annabeth?"
"Yes"
the casualness in her voice
I like that it isn't rushed and it lets us dive in this beautiful and magical univerese. Happy tuesday afternoon, Emily. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
Nope; it’s disappointing. A cartoon would’ve been better; they’d have no excuse to mess up and the humor would be better.
@@BenE8844 I agree
@@BenE8844Even if it was animated, they’d still black wash Annabeth and Grover. Haven’t we forgotten what they did to my by Jimmy from My Adventures with Superman (I mainly watch it for Tomboy Lois Lane)
@@enderethan144 Yeah, Disney and most studios change characters if they’re important and white. The only exceptions are when they’re already a non white race. Like Mark Grayson; he’s already Asian, so no need to change that. Ugh, Rick Riordan is a sellout; I’ve lost all respect and admiration I ever had for his work.
@@enderethan144It was stated that the actors were chosen by how well they match the personalities of the characters. Annabeth being black does not have any impact on her as a character aside from her visual appearance. The same applies to every other main character whose appearance is changed.
I loved this show! The fans finally have a good adaptation!!! The actors were well picked. Rick Riordan definitely knew what he was doing. I honestly don't get why people are still upset about the actress that plays Annabeth. I mean come on she did great and she's just a kid. Some people just need to grow up
Since I don't have Disney +, I can't judgue it for myself
Thank you for that comment.
Nope. Demigods aren’t suppose to use tech, like cellphones, because they attract monsters. In the books, Annabeth does under the radar in one of the books.
I was watching the show with my brother (we’re both fans) and the more we watched the better. We started singing when Percy was claimed in the same way in the book.
Walker was 13 1/2 when filming of the series began and turned 14 only right at the very end of filming
Only Zeus and Poseidon broke the vow, Hades never broke the vow
Yeah, I already put that on there. Also I think they’re thinking he broke it because he does have the two children but they were born beforehand
Next do a video on the differences between the show and the book
So much better than the other adaptations…
What do you mean adaptations? I mean, there was a Broadway musical to adapt the first book, but it's not like there were movies.
@@Bahr-im7pn exactly
Love the show so much, every character is on point, and yeah a lot of race swap but I don't mind it tbh. Leah is amazing as Annabeth, same as Grover and Clarisse. As for the episodes I loved every single one, however it was dissapointing that they changed the spiders to the golden throne, but I get why when it comes to a Budgeting standpoint, but it was a really good change in my oppinion. And as for the Lotus Casino... I hate to admit it, but the movie did it better, kind of. But asides that, super good show. Hope they announce the second season asap!
Love the background music
I love how they protrai Hades in the show. We get Ares... love him. The show is incredible! Love it
Festus wasn’t actually in the first Percy Jackson book. Yes, he built the trap at the waterpark, but he doesn’t actually make an appearance. Not complaining that he was in the show though. I actually really love that scene where Annabeth talks to Festus and convinces him to let Percy go. Leah Jeffries really shown in that scene!🌟
Love the Percy Jackson Series, Its in my opinion way better than the movie. Love the cast along with the episodes. Hopefully the show gets renewed for a second season
This series is a masterpiece, far better then the two Percy jackson movies.
You mean...the Peter Johnson movies
the series maybe better than the movies but it’s definitely not a masterpiece
Well no movie or series is without mistankes
I did feel like the pacing wasn't bad, but I definitely feel like Eight Episodes wasn't enough to adapt the full story. They did get the point across, and it was definitely better than the movie. I'm happy to see at least a decent adaptation of one of my favorite series is ever!
Can't wait for top 104728256 rewritten plot points
One thing I loved about the show was Percy himself. Walker Scobell is literally perfect for the role.
Please do Top 10 Percy Jackson Differences from Movie to Tv show.
Can we please not mention the train wreck that the movies were. The first was fine for the most part, but in the second movie , why were they trying to combine elements from the other books into the second movie
Yuck. 🤮
THIS
I may be one of the few who actually enjoyed the movie series and was hoping for a proper closure of a third film.
I thought Hephaestus didnt appear in the first book, am i miss remembering the book?
You're not misremembering. He didn't appear in the first book at all.
He didn’t appear physically but he did set up a trap for Ares in the first book (somewhat like what happened in the series)
Awesome!
The fact that Percy battle with ares wasn't even mentioned when in movies it was replaced with a battle between Percy and Luke
Thanks!
Thank you for continuing to support our channel!
@@MsMojo 𝕐𝕠𝕦'𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖!
They still omitted the scary bus scene with the old women cutting a thread. That's one of the iconic scenes that's part of the plot
Medusa is my favorite moment. I disagree with #10. After all, Walker may’ve been 14 and Percy is 12; but come on, you can’t have actors b exactly the same age as their characters. They just have to look and match the part. Same thing goes with nationality, e.g. ancient Greek movies must have Greek born actors or heritage. Being the same all the way through is asking/demanding too much. Just looked the part for age, and pull off a good accent.
The series is sooo good! I love Grover 😂
i don't know this things because i have never read the books or see the movie so thank you
It's not rushed, oh but it is, they speedrun everything to get to the underworld by episode 7
It's these changes that make me excited for season 2!! Really hoping they actually make those camp t-shirts!! 😆
Hephaestus was not in the book, it's just said he built the theme park. The chair scene and all wasn't in the book either
For number one, it may not have been as rushed as the movie, but I still felt the TV show was a bit rushed as well.
The book has 22 chapters, but there’s only eight episodes. I was hoping it would be a chapter an episode, so they could flush out the entire chapter
But it seems like they shove 2 to 3 chapters per episode
The season only having eight episodes seems very short
But keep in mind, I’m used to having like 22 episodes per season
The season ended like two months after it premiered
Especially with the episodes only being like an average of half an hour long, whole thing could be watched in four hours
Book series always make better television than films, unless the source material is very concise.
Still don’t get how they messed up the protagonist and deuteragonist hair color. Like how does that happen?!
They messed up. I HATE Disney more (I didn’t think it was possible) for ruining it with their stupid woke agenda. I’ve also lost any respect and admiration I ever had for Riordan.
I hate that neither of those two characters look the way they’re supposed to look like. It’s some BULLSHIT.
FINALLY TWO GUYS WHO ARE NOT BRAINWASHED. Honestly I don’t think words are enough to describe how annoying and infuriating this Race swapping habit has become for Hollywood.
Who the hell cares? Get over it.
@@TeamCap623How about you go to a hospital and have your brain checked?
@@TeamCap623 idk man Percy’s an easy fix. Dye his hair dark brown/black.
But Annabeth is blonde…
"The Chronicles of Narnia" deserves a reboot!
There’s rumors that Netflix is gonna be doing a Narnia show
@adahharris943 what a surprise
@@adahharris943 oh no, not Netflix! They'll make one season and then cancel it!
Trust me, it’s not as bad as the new ScottPilgrim anime
Did you people even read the books
Mr D was actually in the movie or maybe I’m thinking of the second movie
I would argue number 1 is the inclusion of Ares
You put Tim Omundson in a show and I will watch it.
My favorite has to be the Area Fight that's gonna happen tonight.
I watched the 2010 Percy Jackson for 6th grade social studies and saw the second one in theaters
Btw. Clearly it's set after Zach Wilson is drafted as a New York jet, from the scene with Gabe in ep 1
Walker is 13 during filming of season 1.
Hopefully, Tui T. Sutherland's "Wings of Fire" will be adapted just as properly.
Wait is it getting an adaptation too?
Netflix was making one but cancelled it.
oh, well thats a shame
@@berengerdietiker22
Indeed. Maybe someone else will revive and finish it.
Why can’t we get this for DC animated show or action show?
The person who wrote the story Disney plus hired the author that makes so much more sense
Leah was the correct age being 12 at the time of filming.
I STILL WISH they had made the third Percy Jackson movie, because they left it on a huge cliffhanger on what happened and how the next part of the story would go with Thalia 💢
They couldn't make a third movie becasue not only were the actors too old...but they had percy fight Kronos at the end of the second film and that doesn't happen until book five...so how could they possibly continue when they screwed up the plot so badly in so many ways
Okay. #3 should be Ares instead of Hephaestus. He doesn't show up in the first book either. In fact, Hephaestus doesn't show up in a speaking capacity until the third book, if I remember correctly. But Ares plays a big role in the first book (and series) and is totally left out in the movie. And Hades never broke the promise. Both of his children in the series were technically born before the promise (and prophecy) was made.
The only thing the show has done wrong so far is give everyone 5 beads on their chords, yes it probably makes it easier to give out but damn does it throw me for a loop
Big disagree of including Hephaestus on a list of things the show got right. The trio doesn’t meet him until book 3? 4 maybe? I’m glad the Waterworld sidequest was included compared to the movie, but even that was done poorly.
It is a fantastic show overall and this list highlights most of those great moments.
Cool
I honestly dont care about the changes in ethnicities as long as they do justice to the stories and characters (which they are imo). Also cant wait for the amount of hate i get for this comment because god forbid we can all nicely agree to disagree like adults instead of cussing each other out🙄
Yup, lots of thinly/not-so-thinly veiled racism in the comments.
I loved this series so much better than the movies
He definitely wasn’t 14 during filming. lol isn’t he like 14-15 now??
They had all of that budget just to have a long verbatim dialogues
Hephaestus wasnt in the first book...a better example of charwcters who were left out of the move would be ares....he is integral to the story and didnt appear at all in the film. We finally get ares in the series.
I like the movie and I hope I like the tv show
Correct me if I am wrong but Mr D was in the movies, wasn't he? I feel like I clearly remember him but maybe I'm wrong😂
Mr D was in the second movie, but not the first.
The show got the pearls wrong too, to be fair
Show is definitely 1000x better than movies.
I HATED the movie adapation of these books and I am excited to watch the series!
Oh it was rushed alright. I mean, didn’t you guys see episode 8? Percy took out Ares quickly. I mean, Ares is the frickin’ God of war!!! Not to mention Luke’s so called betrayal, was disappointed he didn’t try to kill Percy. This should have made us hate him and would be consistent in the next books.
For me, the movie adaptation felt rushed with too many jokes. But the series went the opposite direction: it was dragging, the action scenes felt cheap, and I truly missed the fun factor. This Percy was waaay to serious (compaired to the book Percy), and Grover and Annabeth here were forgetable. After the series, I started to appreciate the movie so much more. I'd say both adaptations have their advantages, but neither one is truly good.
Prison orange shirts… very telling. The demigods are prisoners to their Godly parents and their quests.
Sadly, they are doing a great job. I just wish they could do the same thing for the Witcher on Netflix because of them not going through the book on the Witcher. That is why Henry Cavill is leaving. 😠
Not sure why they changed Annabeth's skin color, or Percy's hair, but I don't really mind.
Rick didn't set out to purposefully cast actors who didn't look like the characters of the books. He ultimately decided that personalities were more important than looks, so he went for a blind casting approach so he could find the actors he thought were best for the roles, no matter what they looked like.
@@fictional-girl_05 I figured it was something like that.
The kid who plays Grover is perfect.
Annabeth was meant to be blonde though
No offense 10 ways Percy Jackson actually got the source material wrong and it keeps annoying me
Amazing video ms mojo of the difference between Percy Jackson movies and tv show,fantastic job. Somewhat kind of enjoy the series but feels something off about the series hurt to point my finger on,likes it woke or something. Not give hope that this series will get a second season or not because of Disney track record of cancellation stuff that fit in there boat.
The books are perfect and well adapted in my mind. I hate Disney projects. Since they bought MARVEL, LUCASFILM, and FOX, and ruined their animated movie which horrible remakes; this show has no expetites for me.
While I don't love that they race swapped a lot of characters and got some looks wrong I'm willing to put that aside for an overall more accurate adaptation of the books. I thought it was a great series I hope that they make more seasons. I do hope that the humor improves though it was meh in the first season
The show felt kind of rushed
So a Sea Nymph gives him The Perals to escape The Underworld and you think that is better then it being Hadeses actual Wife....alrighty then.
It’s a pearl which makes you return to the SEA. Of course it’s a sea creature who gives it to him.
@@nikolajhallengren4279 But it also helps you escape The Underworld but it puts you in The Ocean hmm i guess it could work both ways.
@@rodan9773 Yeah. I guess it could
Me personally, I was pretty disappointed with this series. I love the books, but I felt they weren't near as faithful to the source material as they claimed. It may have been a little bit more faithful than the movies, but it definitely wasn't as accurate as it should've been. They changed so many things from the book that felt completely unnecessary. They added a lot of storylines and plot points that weren't in the book, which made zero sense. I was pretty bored watching during almost every episode. There were so many moments from the book that I loved and was so excited to see them in the show. But they severely changed pretty much all of the them and it honestly ruined the show for me. The ending was unsatisfying for me, overall this did not feel like a proper adaptation of the book. I really tried to like it, but I feel it wasn't near as good as it could've been. I would rate this series 5/10.
Crazy how they replaced Percy with a mini-Apollo and Annabeth with a black girl.
Grover actor would have been a better Percy Jackson.
That is not Percy Jackson and Annabeth, that is JASON GRACE AND HAZEL LEVESQUE.
You're not a Percy Jackson fan, you're a racist.
I did not like this show at all. My biggest issue is that the acting wasn't good, and the writing/dialogue is sometimes hella cringey
I’m not trying to be that guy, but Annabeth is a white girl not a black girl, but I’m just gonna leave it at that big fan of the book series. I personally like the movies the second one was kind of garbage though.
She can be both.
Where is she required to be white in the book?
@@Uncle_SmidgeAnnabeth is described as “almost exactly what I thought a stereotypical California girl would look like”. I believe the original intent was for Annabeth to be a white blonde girl with intimidating grey eyes.
Not to say Leah Sava Jeffries isn’t doing a good job as Annabeth because she is but she doesn’t fit how Percy describes Annabeth’s looks.
May as well complain about percy not being a brunette with sea green eyes
It's series is not so good 😢
The movies are way better! Biggest reason : the casting. The movies had way more star power and were also a better fit to the characters. In the series, most casting was so cringe and forced woke. Poseidon got an old duchebag actor, Zeus is black and Hades casting was so dull and boring compared to Steeve Coogan. It would been way better if there was a 3rd. and 4th. Percy movie then to have this unnecessary Disney cash grab series ruined by the cursed woke Zeitgeist.
First… of all, yuck. Hope they don’t renew it for a second season. Disney ruins everything, and I no longer like Rick Riordan. The casting has made me realize that a cartoon would’ve been better, because the humor would work MUCH better, not to mention the fact that they’d have no reason to not make the characters look the way they’re supposed to. It’s FUCKING BULLSHIT.
They changed SO MUCH from the book
@@ellesce I hated it. I don’t care. Rick Riordan is a sell out. This isn’t Percy Jackson and the Olympians, it’s JASON GRACE and the Olympians, either his love interest Hazel Levesque.
I hope it doesn’t get renewed and we get a cartoon reboot instead. Unlikely, but I’d rather have that chance than this GARBAGE getting a second season.
This series was close to perfection. Honestly who gives a fuck about hair color and skin color? SERIOUSLY GROW UP!!!
@@BenE8844 They can still fuck it up in animation
@@TeamCap623 HOW about you leave us alone.
Pull the plug, it’s the crappier than the movies. They just had to blackwash Annabeth and Grover. Why do they always have to race swap certain characters??? Rick is really disrespecting his own source material.
Rick is worst than a fool, he’s a fool…ish sellout. Disney ruined this book series. I no longer like nor respect him anymore. Percy is NOT blonde and blue eyed, and Annabeth is NOT black; that’s just a FACT. Not to mention Grover (to be fair though, I though Brandon T Jackson in the crappy film was highlight; he was comedic, cockier, and I liked him better than the book character), Chiron, and Clarrise.
Ugh. What’s next? White Beckendorf? Hispanic Selena? White Leo? Will Hazel be the opposite of Sarah and be WHITE WITH BLONDE HAIR?
A cartoon would’ve been better.
@@BenE8844FACTS 💯. Rick has disrespected his own source material what a joke. Keep in mind this is what the Harry Potter movies could’ve been like if the author didn’t respect their own source material.
@@enderethan144 Yuck, JK Rowling did something similar, remember? Also? They’re remaking the HP series on HBO. Ugh, I don’t even read or watch the adaptations, but I can tell that it’s unnecessary. 🤦♂️
Some things wrong i agree. But it is still a much better adaptation than the movies.
Oh, WAAAAAAH.
FUCKING. WAAAAAAH.
Cope. They're his characters and he can update them all he likes.
