      I know! I’ve always loved Luke’s character he has reasons for what he does. He doesn’t want destruction he wants everyone to be happy. In his mind that can’t be achieved with the gods.

      The moment when i heared Percy say Luke I was like oh no

    • @therealnarnia5117
      @therealnarnia5117 6 років тому +82

      it was probably because of the reprise of 'Good Son'. That, along with the parallels, really gets to you. The fact that you can actually hear emotion in their voices, rather than just reading it off a page, adds to that too.

    • @novaistired6974
      @novaistired6974 5 років тому +19

      I think a lot about how the betrayal could have been both ways, because Luke probably also felt betrayed. How he knew that Percy was tired of being tossed around and spat on by life in general and he believed so much that he might yet (in his eyes) still be able to save him. How the traitor was also the betrayed.
      And then I cry.

  • @flyingbeagle6371
    @flyingbeagle6371 7 років тому +3219

    I feel like this song alone shows how much the musical understands the book. Luke isn't just this whiny douche and Percy a naive dumbass, they're actually really similar in their attitude and experiences yet they mirror one another. This song being an exact reversal of Good Kid, the song displaying all of Percy's feelings and emotions, simply plays tribute to the mirror between the two characters. I'm impressed.

      Steven Grossman Sometimes this thing happens where I'm scrolling through comments on my phone and accidentally click on a comment, which forces me to reply. This is one of those times. There's no option to click out and cancel the reply, so I usually write a letter, post it and then delete it.

      Steven Grossman same and honestly it’s a beautiful piece as Percy and Luke are supposed to be parallels of each other they both had sad bad lives bc of their dads except Percy chose the righteous path while Luke took the Dark one

    @friendlyneighborhoodgoth 7 років тому +3382

    Luke is one of those characters where you can't completely categorize as a villain. I mean even in the books there were moments where Percy could understand luke and those who joined him. Luke felt hurt, betrayed and abandoned especially with how his mom was; Kronos took all those feelings used them manipulated them and amplified them. The gods were assholes, and I'm rereading the books and I can see how these kids would do anything. It's actually quite heartbreaking.

      Yeah now that I think of it I would probably be manipulated into doing something like Selena or ethan until I realize what's really going on
      Because I'd be hurt because the gods are so neglectful and they use us too if I were promised that I could be free of them and be allowed to make our own life I'd do it

    • @emmawiley2452
      @emmawiley2452 5 років тому +114

      Heck, in Heroes of Olympus, we sort of see Percy... fall into a ‘Luke’ like personality. Someone bitter and fed up with being screwed over. He understands how Luke was the way he was. Percy hates the gods, because they see him as something disposable. And he doesn’t like it. He GETS why Luke was trying to do what he was trying to do. Percy just handles it slightly better.

    I feel like theres a weird type of foreshadowing when Luke says "I dont care if I hurt anyone" because in the last book (SPOILERS) him not wanting to hurt Annabeth (physically or emotionally) is what makes him sacrifice himself

      I feel like it is so that you can see that a sliver of the old Luke is still there, the Luke that cares about his friends and family. He was manipulated as all hell and didn't realize which is why he sacraficed himself in the last book. I feel like what he was doing absolutely pained him but he was so determined that he couldn't abandon his quest he forged for himself

    I love how this song firmly puts Percy and Luke on opposite sides while showing them as fighting the same demons and coming to different conclusions. They both want the same things but Luke believes he has to punish the world to take them and Percy believes he has to help the world to save them. It's so well done, how it Luke does it by throwing Percy's own words back into his face. Ugh it's amazing.

    What do you do when the quest has ended?
    What do you do when the battle's won?
    So many questions left unanswered
    So many things still left undone
    What do you do
    When it's up to you to choose:
    Has something ended or begun?
    Stay or go? Pick one
    Do I stay because it's safer?
    Back to the home I left behind?
    I could stay and train for a piece of the action
    But what about peace of mind?
    Ugh! What's my deal?

    So I'll do anything
    I don't care if I hurt anyone
    It doesn't pay to be a good kid,
    A good kid, a good son
    The gods were never on our side
    So I think it's time we watch them fall
    And soon you'll see what I did
    Soon they'll be no gods at all!

    2:48 That line is so gut-wrenching. Luke is so angry and frustrated at the gods and how he feels mistreated that we is fully willing to sacrifice his freedom for a taste of his version of justice.

    Can we take a moment to appreciate Luke's part? I know we all are, but you *really* need to appreciate it. It's so freaking good. The epic guitar before he goes into the Good Kid tune.
    The Good Kid song being reused.
    All of us can agree that is freaking genius. Showing the similarities of Luke and Percy that way. Because that's a big thing. How similar Percy and Luke are. Luke just wanted to be important to someone. He wanted a chance to be a hero and he never got it. He feels abandoned like most demigods do. You can truly see where he's coming from in all this.
    Percy is the same way. He just wants to do good. He does so much for the Gods yet he doesn't really get the appreciation he deserves from them.
    Luke wants revenge. He's bitter and angry at the Gods for ignoring him and their kids. He doesn't care if Kronus is using him because, in the end, he feels he'll still be getting the revenge he wants. He isn't aware of his actions or even cares about them.
    Percy, on the other hand, is also bitter over being ignored by the Gods and his dad, but he doesn't want revenge. He has his friends and his mom. He wants to do right by them. He wants to be a good kid because he knows it's the right thing to do.
    The difference between Percy and Luke is that Luke felt alone and ignored while Percy knew he had people who cared about him. Percy did his quest for good. Luke feels like he did his quest for nothing.
    So I'll do anything (I never meant to do anything)
    I don't care if I hurt anyone (I never meant to hurt anyone)
    It doesn't pay to be a good kid (I try, I try to be a good kid)
    A good kid, a good son (a good kid, a good son)
    The Gods were never on our side (but no one is ever on my side)
    So I think it's time to watch them fall (all I ever do is take the fall)
    And soon you'll see what I did (I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid)
    Soon they'll be no Gods at all (Guess I'm good for nothing at all)
    Luke isn't a bad kid. He just wants to be good for something. Good enough for someone. When you feel alone, ignored, and abandoned all your life, can you really blame him?

    • @jazminharris285
      @jazminharris285 7 років тому +5

      Daily Dose Of Stupid I don't agree. As much as Luke doesn't seem like a bad kid, he still does horrible things. Everyone seems to forget that at the start of the second book he poisons the Thalia tree to shatter the barrier at the START of summer. When the camp has the most kids. What would have happened had the fleece never come? How many children would he have killed? How many siblings? He was willing to sacrifice Tahlia's tree, which in return hurts Annabeth. He really doesn't care if he hurts anyone, even someone who loves him and considers him family. No one talks much of Luke later on, but I've never forgotten the scenes where she was just grieving over Luke and then she had to kill him herself. A sixteen year old girl had to kill someone closer to her than her own family. And then months later, the next person she fell for disappeared. I personally think that Annabeth has the worst luck in the series.

    • @willis1383
      @willis1383 5 років тому +3

    @nerdiedreams 5 років тому +30

    Lowkey, if I was a demigod, I'd probably join Luke. I know he's the supposed antagonist, but I honestly feel for him. He has been there since he was 14, and somewhere in between he became the head counselor to not only his siblings, but all of the unclaimed/the children of minor gods. He had one chance to prove himself, and yet someone else had already done it. He felt like he has been used again and again. And he has.
    We know for a fact that Percy felt/feels the same. Percy has been used again and again for almost 6 years. He's been in the deepest part. But he has survived.
    Luke could have been one of the greats( in my eyes he's one of the greats) Luke had so much potential, but because of his mom's insanity, and because of the the gods neglecting their children, Luke was manipulated. Kronos manipulated Luke, Selina, Ethan, and all of the other demigods.
    All Luke wanted was to have a family. He wanted to be wanted.
    (Sorry for my rant, I could've done an essay on him, but I need to read fanfics)

  • @august1837
    @august1837 4 роки тому +9

    1:02, “Perry Johansson”. Ok, I said this after every single song, but this is solid proof that writers of this musical didn’t only thoroughly study the first book. I’m pretty sure Mr. D calls Percy Perry Johansson only once in the entire series, and that was either in the Titan’s Curse or The Battle of the Labyrinth. I can’t remember exactly, but this is proof that the writers read the entire series, more than once. This is not the only reference from other books. There are even a couple from Hero’s of Olympus.

    @felineleijon8065 6 років тому +10

    I remember reading The Lightening Thief in 8th grade and bursting into tears because I was so in love with Luke and he turned out so _evil_ . This song just brings out those emotions again, and now I'm sitting on the bed crying because I love Luke so much, he was much a well written character and spoke to me (at that point I'd never seen a character with Daddy Issues™ that was super vengeful and didn't forgive).
    Also Luke's fucked up reprise of 'Good Kid' spoke levels to me because THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO PERCY. When Luke was 17, his bitterness and rage to the gods escalated after all the shit he'd been through. During Hero's of Olympus, Percy expresses similar rage about the gods manipulation and neglect towards their kids. Luke was probably once as sweet and kind as Percy until he fell to Kronos (which I suspect happened on his quest for the Golden Apples) and I HAVE LOTS OF EMOTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO LUKE CASTELLAN. BRB I'm going to cry some more.

I remember when performances were still happening and while I didn't get to go, I kept up with it as much as possible and it was great to hear all of the amazing reviews on it. The music and the show in general, capture the books and the characters in such a refreshing and authentic way that I appreciate because it's not a 1 dimensional look on everything. This song reflects that the most and I couldn't have asked for a better adaptation for Percy Jackson.

    Remember children: a memorable and well written antagonist should be a mirror of the protagonist. The dark “what if?” or path they could’ve taken if things had gone differently or they’d made different choices.
