PART 2! SEA OF MONSTERS REVIEW -> ua-cam.com/video/XKfHNqwwopI/v-deo.html
@Movieflame i saw this movie when was 9 or 10 and i almost forgot it after a week i remembered basic plot points and that scene where hades looks like a demon that form that he takes looks cool but doesn't fit him at all it looks like it belongs in dark souls video game or god of war video game
Movieflame I love ur videos you can always explain things I on,y watched the harry potter films and the Percy Jackson films but now I know what the canon is and you make me see movies in a different way
I read all the books and I hate the movies too.
Fate - The Winx Saga please can you review this book can you make a video reviewing this book can you tell us what you think about Fate - The Winx Saga
Thankyou
Yeah the movie was “Peter Johnson and the thunder stealer”

Omg... lol 😂
I remember this quote but I forgot where it's from, plz help xD

Damnn thats hilarious 🤣
Hahaha
Luke’s betrayal in the book: Tricks Percy into coming into the woods with him, expresses disillusionment with Camp Half-Blood and the gods themselves, puts a scorpion on Percy, monologues pretty realistically about how he’s been let down time after time, then disappears like a badass and leaves Percy to die.
Luke’s betrayal in the movie: HAHA TWAS ME ALL ALONG *shoots lightning and makes big kaboom*
That’s so true also in the book he won while in the movie he lost
He literally says “I’m the lightning thief” just how all the memes say stuff like “I am the Morb” or “I am breaking bad”
@@Woopor my favorite part of the movie was when luke said "PERCY, I AM PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF!"
Luke in the movie be like(HI IT WAS ME I DID IT TIME TO DIE BECAUSE BAD WRITING FROM THE SCREEN WRITER SAID SO)
Done as average 2010’s Hollywood
the screen writers: **reading TLT** "I'm Percy Jackson."
the screen writers: WELL, THATS ALL THE INFORMATION WE NEED! LETS BEGIN MAKING THE _PETER JOHNSON_ MOVIES
Best comment on this video
Would make sense that Mr D. was a screen writer XD
Soooo true 😂😂😂
Mr. D has entered the chat
Yup
Gods in the movies: Oh we’re so sad we’re forbidden to speak to our kids but we’re going to cause we love them
Gods in the books: We have kids?
Literally all unclaimed demigods in the books:wimps
Yeah they tried to make the gods the good guys instead of the lesser of two levels in the books
I remember that moment in the fifth book when Percy had to tell Zeus and the gods to stop being a bitch and recognize all their demigod children and I thought Zeus was gonna lighting strike him then and there lol
This made me spit out my soda thank you 😭
LoL facts
Rick: I don’t know if you read past the lightning thief
The screen writers: bold of you to assume we even read the lightning thief
Lol 😂
Lmao🤣
I’m quite sure that they didn’t read anything more than the blurb on the back of the book
😂😂😂😂
I subbed to u cause ur right
One of my favourite parts of the book is that Hades is not only terrifying but funny. For most of the book he’s a big bad dark grim reaper type villain. But when Percy gets there he just complains that the underworld’s bureaucracy is too complex. It’s amazing and I love it.
Absolutely, my favourite was when Hades was lamenting and Percy just bursts Out "Charon wants a raise"
@theLegolist Me That might be the best moment in the entire book and that says something. I basically worship the books and have done so since I was 8 that is more than 10 years ago.
@@thelegolistme3250I love that upon hearing that Hades just straight up went like "Oh Charon now too, that's great, he and his STUPID ITALIAN SUITS are bankrupting me"
He was a fantastic bait and switch that played with how many stories have Hades as The Big Bad while ignoring the myths
Yeah and giving Ares no air time esp his part in the whole fiasco ita almost as frustrating as him getting off Scott free in the books and appollo getting punished. But I would not care to be along for the ride with Ares as I did for Apollo
"More security ghouls," he moaned. "Traffic problems at the judgment pavilion. Double overtime for staff. I used to be a rich god, percy jackson. I control all the precious metals under the earth. But my expenses!"
"Charon wants a raise," I blurted, just remembering the fact. As soon as I said it, I wished I could sew up my mouth.
"Don't get me started on Charon!" Hades yelled.
"Hes been impossible ever since he discovered Italian suits! Problems everywhere, and I've got to handle them all personally. The commute time alone from the palace to the gates is enough to drive me insane! And the dead just keep on arriving. No, godling. I need no help getting subjects! I did not ask for this war"
-hades: the lightning theif, chapter 19 page 311-312
Another thing you learn about Hades is that he was the best father of all the Gods, truly loving Nico and Bianca and even trying to protect their mother. He cursed the Oracle and fell out with his brothers again. I hate the way that almost every film that features Hades makes him out to be the Devil when he is far from it.
Haven't read the books in a while but I remember even Percy thinking he's a chill guy lmao
@@diip-ali1228 yeah but what they did to him and Persephone is as dirty as Disney's old Hercules animated film. Persephone is shown to be a b*tch who hate living with Hades; and when his back is turned, she just zap him
@@longphan7656True. To be sure she wasn't exactly fond of Hades even in the actual myths but she had great compassion for the spirits of the underworld which is why she returned every six months.
That's untrue in Greek mythology Hades and Persephone by far had the best marrige.
@@Bryan198026 Persephone loved Hadies, and he loved her in return, and even though he did have extramarital relationships with other women, she remained loyal and never complained about the other women. (Though she did try to keep Adonis.)
in an interview someone asked the cast about blue food and they just said “that’s not really related to percy jackson but whatever” LIKE IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH PERCY JACKSON
WHAT!?
It was because his mom loved blue and wanted everything to be blue right?
It's only been a few months since I finished both the PJ and HOH series and I already forgot.
THAT PISSED ME OFF 1000 TIMES OFF THE CHART
LIKE WHY?! HAVE THE ACTORS ATLEAST READ THE BOOKS?!
of course they haven't lol
@Drew actually it was Grover. His stepdad came later in the series.
I saw that interview and at one point the guy who played Tyson in Sea of Monsters actually said that he read the book(SoM) and said that the movie follows the book like what?! I'm actually so disgusted.
Rick Riordon: Did you even read the books?
Screen Writers: There are books?
LMAO SO TRUE
lmao
FRRR THO
I actually think this happened tho
ua-cam.com/video/lhckuhUxcgA/v-deo.html
Loyalty is literally Percy’s fatal flaw, and how they made him into this narcissistic, arrogant character who doesn’t care about his friends just mystifies me.
Plus, Mount Olympus’ being turned to this dark mysterious place is brought to a whole new level of disrespect when in the Trials of Apollo it is actually reviewed why Mount Olympus was dazzlingly white - as a counter to Kronos’ palace which is all dark and evil themed.
To quote: “… reminding me a bit too much of Kronos’s palace. (He and his Titans had been all about black marble. That was one reason Zeus insisted on Mount Olympus’s strict building codes that kept everything blinding white.)”
Basically they made him a jock percy is so kind and giving and they completely ruined his character in movie.
Not mystifies, repulses
Dude and they even got what Annabeth and Grover looked like which is so messed up. Also, bro, the book said Ares was thee lighting thief but in the movie they said it Luke.
😤😐
This isn’t just said in TOA, its mentioned many many times through out the entire Camp Half-Blood Chronicles and multiple times in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods. It just amazes me how they just completely pretended this didn’t exist and went on with their plans even when Rick told them to change it may times. Fuck Fox Studios for making this sooooooooooo terrible. The Disney adaptation will me infinitely better.
Well let's hope that Percy Jackson and the Olympians which will be released on Disney Plus in 2 years does Justice to the books I'm really excited and our young Walker will do incredible and he is age appropriate to Percy's character
Part of the reason the Percy Jackson novels work so well is that it’s strongly character-driven, where the story moves forward because of everyone’s distinct personalities and motivations. The movie version turns everyone into flat Hollywood stereotypes: Percy is the dull uber-masculine hero, Annabeth is the so-called action girl, Grover is the Black Best Friend (TM), and Luke is blatantly obvious baddie. The story simply doesn’t work with them.
You forget to mention the part where Persephone wasn't even supposed to be there. Cause it takes place in the summer, when she's with her mom.
and she never was stuck with Hades either, as she complained, there was actual rule about her spending time with Demeter
I noticed this too!
Current media : "Gonna make hades as evil as possible!! He is literal satan!!!"
@@rezazorro00 My biggest trigger as a Greek Mythology nerd
@@JoshtheOverlander same not nerd but i get triggered everytime they do that
Can you believe they left out the most iconic line, "You drool when you sleep." They filmed it and had the AUDACITY to delete it?
I was so pissed off when I found out the only accurate scene was cut off
those HETHANS shall pay dearly
EXACTLY, ITS UNACCEPTABLE
studio execs: “hmm... too accurate”
*UNACCEPTABLE*
As someone who has seen the movie first, all I can say is that it pushed me to read the book. And you were absolutely right, they were totally disrespectful. Also, the scene where Percy holds his breath underwater isn't just useless, it's also inaccurate because Percy can literally breathe underwater
The Percy Jackson films were definitely created by Dionysus and Tantalus. I’m honestly surprised that the first one isn’t called Peter Johnson and the goblet of wine.
Omg that’s so funny

Not much luckier tho. Imagine rick riordan saying that arachne and athena had sex.
*Cough * goblet of fire *cough *
@@malcolmjenkins3585 Not much luckier? The changes made to HP are nowhere near as severe as in PJO. It’s got all of the “bad” changes of HP and many of its own.
In HP it’s various scenes and characters cut or limited. And while some characters like ron and snape (and probably others that I can’t recall) got changed a bit it’s no where near as bad as in PJO where so few characters were done right.
In the first movie they don’t even mention the main villian...or the secondary villian either or Percy’s bullies Nancy and Clarrise. Then in the second film they blew their load prematurely. The completely ignored the story and characters of this series.
All of this plus mediocre dialogue and action. Get out of here with this “not much luckier” crap, y’all got some of the best damn adaptations. Your changes are minor and annoying, unlike in PJO where the source material was so thoroughly ignored and insulted.
@@Cytomicc "DiD yOu PuT yOuR nAmE iN tHe GoBlEt Of FiRe"
@@OmegaMemeBoss dumbledore said calmly
One of the worst things they cut from the movie for me is that Percy just immediately gets his own cabin. Percy spending time in Hermes cabin is what made Luke’s betrayal hit as hard as it did.
in the books, we talk about how immortals, demi gods, humans ect have fatal flaws. Percy's one is that he is too loyal. He would constantly chose the ones he love over him, protecting them from dangerous situation more than once. This flaw is one of the things that made him who he is, he is humble and kind and would save a stranger's life even if it meant giving up his own. In the movie, they got rid of this. Percy is just this huge jerk who doesn't care and would probably kill an innocent to save his life, something the real Percy would never do. This flaw is also his greatest quality and taking that away is just nonsense.
"apparently Chris Columbus thought that having a 12 year old swing a sword would look weird"
Chamber of secrets: *"AM I A JOKE TO YOU??!!!??"*
Yeah, lol, it’s weird to have twelve-year-old swing a sword, but he had no problem with it in CoS, but it “feels weird” in Percy Jackson, like I can’t believe it.
Imagine the bullshit reason was because he was older or that he only use the sword for a short amount of time for Harry Potter
Exactly
I remember hearing once he was less than happy with the kids performances at the time so he aged up Percy's characters to avoid that headache again.
but it feels more weird watching fully grown kids acting like idiots and idiots and idiots...
He must have been great at writing essays in school
Lol
dislikes are prob the 10 alts of the makers of this movie xDDDD
A+ he would
Yeah he is really good. But it is way easier to write an essay about a topic you have a big interest in.
Only at things he likes
One thing that enrages me and makes the movie unforgivably bad is that the didn’t make Annabeth say “You drool when you sleep!”
I also hate how they left the “ I said hello to the poodle so you need to say hi to the poodle” as well as the entire zoo truck scene.
@@tatum8083 and the enchilada scene
@@tatum8083 Exactly!
@@tatum8083and the water park scene (super important to the Percabeth development, and cut out Cerberus and how that adds to Annabeth’s character and relationship with her family 😔)
About your comment on them making Percy seem selfish and the fact that his selflessness is such an important point of his character. In The Sea of Monsters, Annabeth discusses the fatal flaws of heroes and at the time, Percy doesn't know what his is, but Athena later points out that his flaw is he cares too much and wants to save everyone. Making him seem selfish completely ruins his fatal flaw.
TRUEEEE
No no no no no. They made him ‘shellfish.’ Get it? Shellfish? I DID THE JOKE!!!!!!!!!
It’s funny because when I met Rick Riordan 4 years ago he tried telling me he’s never seen the adaptations of his books. He said he refuses to watch them because of how disappointing he knows they are. Lmao
Lucky boi
Good lord.
I don’t blame him, I wouldn’t watch it either.
@@teetheminx5096 I watched it before the book :(
@@notme_ytx1076 it’s okay. I have the book I just didn’t get to read it but I wish I read it before the movie
Percy Jackson fans: There are no Percy Jackson movies, we only know the Peter Johnson movies.
Avatar fans: There is no movie in Ba Sing Se.
That is an excellent comment.
Both fandoms are in denial
Not to mention they came out the same year, thank god I didn't see this movie in theaters like Airbender, because I can't think of many more times in my life where I was as disappointed as I was then lol
Don't forget full metal alchemist an attack on Titan there live actions were trash
@@kanataslover wait aot has a live action? Oh gods no. Also the death note adaptation was absolutely horrible as well
What REALLY pisses me off is I’m SURE they heard complaints from the first movie and instead of being like, “Yeah, okay, maybe Rick was right. Maybe we should bring him on to assist more before we destroy this franchise”, they just continued to do their own thing. bUt ThEy ChAnGeD aNnAbEtH’s EyEs - I don’t care. They had the perfect cast and they still fumbled the bag.
Look,the eyes of the characters are a symbol of who their parents are.Percy's are green,because his dad is the god of sea.Annabeth's are grey,because her mother has the same eye colour.Her blond hair also is a part of her personality.In the HoO Series we found out that because she is blond,she always thought she has to prove that she is not dumb and weak.BUT I wouldn't mind,if they did her character justice.
But it is not as bad as removing Nancy when she got soaked by Percy it was the best scene ever
Let’s not forget how Grover stayed behind so Percy could save his mom. Which takes away Percy’s relationship with his mom, and his relationship with Annabeth and Grover!! In the book he was so touched as they both volunteered to stay behind, and Percy knew that his mom would never be happy with that conclusion. So he sacrificed the ONE thing he went on the quest for (his mom) to keep his friends safe. This is a big choice and big moment in Percy’s character ark. And the movie writers messed that up too! Literally the only way Grover got those horns in the movie was cause of how horny he was.
There is no Percy Jackson movies, it's just a trick of the Mist.
Edit: Nobody will know how I got likes.
Bigger edit: Oh wait no-body
Yep
They’re the Peter Johnson movies
“There is no war in Ba Sing Se”
@@larkisalive9819 huh
There's only one thing I'm thankful of the Movies for: That they made me go read the books.
I was reading the books frist and during reading the second book I was exited to watch the 1st movie and then I saw a hate vid and I was like: Never mind.
I can get behind this sentiment. Been a long while since I read the books and seeing videos like these just makes me want to go read them again
i watched half the first movie after finishing all of heroes of olympus
i hate the movie, every bit i watched
sameee
one more good thing is the incredible soundtrack
Imagine if in the Harry Potter Movies, Harry just hears the traits of a Gryffindor and says "Yup, that's me" instead of having the Sorting Hat ritual. That's basically what they did with Percy's claiming in the movie
Your point about Annabeth and Clarisse was spot on. The first time I watched that scene I was expecting her to turn and start bullying Percy and was absolutely shocked to learn that it’s not Clarisse
Clarissa is not even in the movie
@@kanishkpandey6068 which is a shame because she is what really grounds Percy. Would have been a great way to show that he's a powerful demi-god but still just a kid, and a bit of an outcast too
@@kanishkpandey6068 she's in the equally terrible sequel, bc they realised they needed her to exist for the plot of the sea of monsters to work - and honestly, percy literally has more chemistry with clarisse than he does with annabeth, his ACTUAL love interest. like, i shouldn't be wanting to ship percy with clarisse? it's so dumb.
The films are so bad that they aren't even Percy Jackson films, they're Peter Johnson films.
*We don’t talk about the Peter Johnson incident*
@@Blueturtle1 They arent Percy Jackson films, they are Percy Jackson movies.
@@levislens776 how am I related to your reply

Lol Dionysus is that you?
they pretty much made annabeth useless.
annabeth: "I've never lost a fight"
also annabeth: immediately loses to percy, who just came to camp and has no training whatsoever
also also annabeth: "you need me for this quest"
ughhh annabeth was my favorite in the books and they completely ruined her
Ikr, she's so badass in the books
SHE DIDNT EVEN HAVE HER INVISIBILITY CAP OR HALS DAGGER LIKE WHY EVEN HAVE HER IN THE MOVIE
also they immidately tried to get annabeth and percy to be interested at the very start (its obvious)is also so bad because what made their relationship special was all the buildup they had and stuff like I hate it
@@vivianarickert8230 YESSS espesially with the quote I have feelings for you I just dont know if they are good or bad yet, like to me that just ruined their whole relashionship while in Sea of Monsters litterally Percy and Clarisse have more of a percabeth relashionship than Percy and Annabeth
@@charlzker SHE DOSENT AND IS PRACTICALY USELES😭 *cries in Annabeth stan*
The percy vs ares fight on the beach is one of my favorite moments in the books, it would have been so cool to have it adapted in the movie.
They actually did make Annabeth into Clarisse. If they had introduced the same actress in the same way, and just made her Clarisse daughter of Ares instead of Annabeth daughter of Athena it would have been perfect and set her up exactly the way she was in the books. Looks, personality, and the way other characters treat her are almost the same between movie Annabeth and Clarisse.
The first time I watched the movie I literally thought she was Clarisse!😂
Until they said her name and showed how he was watching her
The shade Rick has thrown at the movie is incredible
Yup, it such a wonderful feeling knowing the CREATOR of the series himself hates it more than we do
Rick is soooo badass
@@finnick_odair_he_is1785 Yeah same. It makes sense tho they messed up his life work I would be pissed off as well. I love Rick he’s such a good role model
Reading the emails he sent have been an absolute experience. I love that the fandom is united in hate at the Peter Johnson movies XD. Really strengthens that sense of community, especially with Rick at the helm. I am so so glad the movies never made it to Titan's Curse, as well. (on a side note aaaaa fellow fansie! hii!!)
This movie had the full Hollywood Woke treatment. No wonder why it failed. Not every black character has to be a cool and confident ladies man and not all female leads have to be strong and dominating. There is such a thing as being vulnerable to grow as a character.
honestly, if you told me chris columbus, the man who brought us the magic of the harry potter universe, who was by far the most faithful to the source material out of all the directors, would completely destroy one of the greatest fantasy series of our time by disregarding the source material, i’d probably burst out laughing.
it wasnt his fault. it was mostly the screen writers. its literally in the video
@@icey4643 yes..but a director like him, who gave jo so much love and care, allowing this to be such a disaster...
Yeah but he didn´t do anything about it personally I think its because he´s not a fan of Percy Jackson which was the opposite for Harry Potter
Ikr
Well it not his fault so we can't even blame him.
One little detail I think would’ve been cool to see in a movie is Percy telling a giant great white shark to go away and it does. Also Persephone being in the underworld doesn’t make sense for the obvious reason on her (pretty well known) mythology dictating she wouldn’t be there in the summer, but also that fact is specifically brought up in the book, Percy wishing she /was/ there because he heard she made hades more reasonable
I remember watching the movie when I was around 12 without reading the books, and actually thinking it was good. My friends were so offended that they forced me to read the first book. I have never changed my opinion on something so fast 💀
Same we watched it in class then read the book this year and have never been more mad at a movie
The worst part is how easily They could’ve wrote in Annabeth calling him seaweed brain which could’ve saved the whole movie
Yaah idk what this writer was thinking

Annabeth is the hero of my childhood. As a blonde girl that loved to read and study she was a great inspiration to the point where I would wear a silver owl with black eyes as a necklace every day. The moment I saw her in this movie I was so disappointed i almost cried 😂😅

@@LeftlineJumperAnd…she’s a brunette again….

Why lol. She would’ve been amazing as a blonde girl too, but this new iteration of her seems cool as long as the actress can pull it off
@@LeftlineJumper oh, do be quiet and leave that poor girl alone. it's really not that big of a deal. rick riordan himself chose leah to be annabeth. leah will be amazing, trust. the storyline of annabeth having to feel like she can prove herself bc she's blonde can 100% work just as well, if not more, with a black girl. the smart blonde trope is honestly overdone in media and is honestly, just not relevant anymore. young black girls get to see a badass main character who looks like them and that's amazing.
My favotite part in the book that they cut out of the movie was Annabeth draging Percy and Grover onto the arch and getting all extctied talking about the architecture. It was such a wholesome scene that added so much to her character because it showed us how much being a year-rounder at camp half-blood for 7 years has isolated her from the outside world, and this was her only way to feel normal. 💔
To give any Harry Potter fans who haven’t read Percy Jackson imagine if in Sorcerer’s Stone Harry went into the room with the mirror of Erised and standing there was Severus Snape. That’s just one example of how they mess things up
I mean, it's worse. It's as if Harry Potter was already wielding the elder wand and went around bullying students while calling them mudblood.
@@00Sunburn00 And drinking in roxmorts from the money, he got for killing Sirius Black
That is exactly it. One of my favorite things about the first book was how it broke away from that "evil god of death" stereo-type.
The messed up BAD. like, imagine if Harry called Draco his best friend,then proceeded to kiss Voldemort. THEN slaughtering the entire school with the killing curse and laughing like a maniac. That,but 1000 times worse. Like Harry slaughtering everyone in the wizarding world,every muggle,and plot twist,he murdered his parents.
Dumbledore would slam Harry's head into a wall and ask him CALMLY.
Also, adding on, Percy talked in the book about how Latin class is the only class he takes seriously, while in the movie, he walks around carelessly with headphones in not listening.
yep
Latin is the most useless class ever!!! Why you need to learn a language that is dead and rarely speaken

HONESTLY THE BOOKS ARE ONLY GOOD NEVER WATCH THE MOVIE
Not me rewatching this 2 years later when the great show came out to tell all you in the past one day we will get an amazing adaptation of Peter Johansson 😂❤.
Actually it's Perry Johansson
The crazy thing is that in 5th grade, we had to read this book and would be graded on it. I decided to watch the movie before reading the entire book with my dad. I noticed changes, but I didn't really mind them and I had this evil little grin on my face when I realized that Luke was the bad guy and most of my classmates didn't.
When I finished the movie, I remembered liking it, but I noticed all of the changes and even started questioning them while I continued to read the book. The changes made less and less sense to me and I started to get a little annoyed with them.
I was really invested in the book and instead of being a little annoyed, I started to get angry. I mean, seeing how truly botched the story and characters really were just made me upset. It makes me appreciate the Harry Potter movies so much more because even though there were changes made, I will always see them as great source material adaptations. It shows me what Harry Potter could have been if nobody cared about the source material.
There are huge things that were cut out and my goodness, it really ruined the story and characters. Believe it or not, but when I saw the movie Annabeth, I thought that Grover was going to say she was Clarice and my jaw dropped when I was told she was Annabeth. Yes, changes and cuts can and should be made, but the changes and cuts in Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief were so bad, that I really thought to myself..."How did I once like this movie?"
I am very upset that this movie franchise was done so badly because it could have been something great or miraculous. It could have been just as good if not better than the Harry Potter films if genuine care was put into everything.
Actually, I do and will prefer the Harry Potter movies....."Always".
Book: Percy, Annabeth and Grover go on a quest to the underworld where Percy appreciates and respects his companions and we are able to root for him.
Film: Peter, Bethany and Oscar go across the states to find pearls where Peter acts like an overconfident jerk, Oscar is obsessed with girls and Bethany flirts with Peter.

You forgot the blatant fact that the book ties back to mythology a lot the movie doesn't. They added the pantheon in Nashville to make up for that. The screenwriters were like " hey look we did our homework we sent them to the pantheon. We put something Greek mythological in there! "
They even messed up the Parthenon. You don’t enter through the front doors, you go through the museum under the Parthenon before seeing the Athena Parthenos. Also, Athena is supposed to have gold armor, a gold shield, a snake hiding behind her shield, and a statue of Nike in her right palm
This movie is a terrible adaptation: I am a middle school English teacher. One of the traditions kids look forward to is watching the movie after finishing a book. I’ve done this with The Giver, A Raisin in the Sun, etc. When I taught Percy Jackson, I told the kids that we should skip the tradition this time. They begged me to show them the movie anyway. I caved and showed them. My students never questioned me again for the rest of the year.
Lmaoo this has me cracking up, they just had to know for themselves 😂
I loved the Giver book but the movie was also really bad
@@noellegonzalerson4402 The Giver movie is better than the Percy Jacksons. But the movie spoils the twist that the world is in black and white at the beginning.
@@JonCom3dy agreed
One of the most annoying and worst change is that annabeth charges on luke in the movies whereas in the books she always had a soft spot for luke and never admits that luke is completely bad,the fact that she charged at luke with the cursed blade is like the whole point of the prophecy is gone.
Oh no. That's NOT the cursed blade. Riptide is. Jk that's movie logic. Which means it isnt logical. Annabeth having the cursed blade is so poetic and how THAT was what killed Luke in the end is just an amazing story
The most annoying and worst change is the movie. Just, why did the movie have to change SO MUCH WHYSXUIJIDNICJENINCE
Movie 2 is basically the worst movie adaptation i've ever seen, based on book 2 and 4(?)/5(?) or whatever that fight with a meatball named after the titan of time wanted to be
Rian Johnson took notes.
Imagine if harry was aged up to 17 when he went to hogwarts
WTFFFFF
That NGL would be very funny
That would make so many plot holes:
He maybe defeats Quirell at this year but..
How would he stop Tom riddle?
What'll happen with Sirius?
How will Voldemort return without the Triwizard tournament?
**predenting that Voldemort returned:**
How would he go with Ron Hermione Neville Ginny and Luna to the department of mysteries?
How will he know, find, and destroy the horcruxes???
And most importantly...
How will be survive *SIXTEEN YEARS* at the Dursleys?
@@TM-tb4di Thats impossible without going insane
Ok he is what I think would happen if he did the Dursley’s would disown Harry then dumbledoor would have died so then even worse that then snape would become headmaster and then Voldemort would take over the school and then Harry would die becuase he would only be year two then snape would confront Voldemort and then Voldemort would kill snape.
Plus Harry would be an adult at that time
I am literally offended with how they potreyed Chiron he is shown unique in the book so the movie really let me down
Grover he is a sweet unconfident and down to earth satyr the way they potreyed him makes me sick
Annabeth she is the daughter of Athena wich means she is wise smart and strategic
Percy he isn't a rude selfish jerk
He is a courageous selfless greatful and loving person
Luke he is a good looking charming
Manipulator wich is why him being the villan is surprising
Dude! Exactly!
Never gonna forgive them for butchering Luke.
Luke in movie is just gamer
It gets me so mad how they took out Clarisse and the part where he got claimed literally I was waiting to see that. But Chiron just straight up told him I got so mad
Clarisse did not play a huge role in the first book so I think it’s okay that they cut her out.
@@jadenchamoun6785 actually it’s important for her to be in the lightning thief because that way she’s more introduce in the sea of monsters when she goes on the quest
No she isn’t. Even Riordan says he was fine with it in his emails
The cabins themselves were just doo dodo. Like I thought theyd be like ACTUAL cabins not just glorified tents
You know what's more impressive than holding your breath underwater? Being able to breath water. Which I don't think I should have to tell you, but Percy can. Almost all children of Poseidon can.
they didn't even make him talk to horses what a let down
@@christopherbzowski4346 blackjack is easily one of the best comedic characters from the books and this means he wouldn't be in it
The worst part is it’s 1 minute and 40 seconds first that is possible in the real world and it possible for longer and it’s not the world record so he’s doing nothing impressive
Yo......why tf did I never notice that 🤣🤣 it never clicked that he wasn't breathing
@@mightbeapersonmaybe8379 my personal favorite interactions lol. Percy and the horses
Percy Jackson would probably have been as famous as Harry Potter if they had made the movies as good as the movie for the Harry Potter series
Edit:Thank you so much for the likes!!!!
I also agree.
Ur not wrong they are amazing books and complex just like Harry Potter but Harry Potter will always be my favorite
Exactly like when the HP movies were made Hogwarts became an iconic pop-culture place and if the percy Jackson movies were good camp half blood would be just as iconic
HP was made 20 years ago, when society wasn’t as broken
Id have to agree. It's clear that the writers made A LOT of small errors that added up to detract harshly from the film.
Thank you for making this. I actually saw the movie first. I thought the movie was alright. And then I got a copy of the first book. I read it. And as I read it. The whole time I was saying to myself "Why did they take that out.".
Kudos for calling the screenwriter out.
Movies: Hades is the villian
Books: Hades is sad and emo someone get him a friend pls
Also can we talk about how it’s supposed to be the middle of summer but Persephone is in the underworld?!?!
Thank you. I mean the movie is terrible and it totally ignored the books but that is ok when you watch it at school and didn't read the books before. But they ignored mythology with this film is supposed to teach. I mean really how can you do the film about Greek mythology ignoring Greek mythology. I think this is one of the worst of all changes.
The second film is even worse. When they show how Kronos ate his children they tell the story like not just Zeus, but Poseidon and Hades too were saved by Rhea (edit: sry, they wasnt even saved, they escaped somehow) and only this three fought against the Titans, and they even forget to mention their siblings, so if you never read mythology, it looks like every other god, is this trios descendant
@@marshallneff1631 I have not seen the second and I am happy I haven’t I was drawing the entire time I was watching the first and still suffered
bruh that didn't even click in my head until I read this. Wow that movie just got even worse.
Yeah and I remember reading her mythology story and the fact that she calls the UNDERWORLD HELL🤦♀️ for god sake they’re NOT THE SAME
The thing I love the most about the books is that it’s one of the few pieces of media that portrayed hades how he actually is in Greek mythology
I agree tho hades in the Disney movie Hercules was fun. But nothing will ever compare to the Percy Jackson series imo
@@temirab.5891 _zuko voice_ Disney always lies. Disney always lies.
After seeing the Disney series adaptation last night, this video ages very well.
"And it honestly just made the audience get the wrong idea about Hades as a character" I know right? He's not supposed to look like Satan, or some other generic flaming devil
That's Disney Hades for you.
Lol did anyone else think Annabeth literally was Clarisse when she first appeared? I was shocked when she was revealed to be Annabeth. Can’t believe the screenwriters messed up so badly.
Yeah. The actress would have been perfect for Clarisse thought
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE 😭 I thought “oh they’re introducing clarrise” and then he said “Nah,that’s Annabeth.”
That was my first thought when I watched it too 😂😂
I thought Annabeth was Clarisse as well I mean come on besides no camo or very muscular dead what I imagined Clarisse looking like
the actress who played Clarisse had blonde hair in the hunger games movie and it suited her so well. Would have been better if they switched the actresses
them not showing Percy being claimed by his father pissed me off so much
samee
that was one of my favourite parts of the book and i was so annoyed when they didnt include in the movie :(
I FRICKIN WANTED TO SEE THAT TRIDENT ON TOP OF HIS FRICKIN HEAD!
ikr! >:( I remember when I was reading it and being like: *woah dude* 😳
Ahhhh ikr
Words literally can not describe how good this movie was
But numbers can: -512/10

Also about them cutting out the Ares bit, they really didn't think ahead. Considering that Ares puts a curse on Percy at the end of their fight, which comes in place in The Titans Curse (third book of the series), and is a very important part of the book. Since that's the main reason Percy took the sky and freed Artemis.
I’m just glad uncle Rick is making a Disney plus adaptation series of PJO
Really?
@@dabirdelin7961 yeah, if ratings are good. It’ll span the 5 books.

**Looks at the movie**
It scares me
Grover: “No I-I ain’t talkin’ about that movie! All right? ...It’s not here, is it? How do I get this thing off!?”
Annabeth: “One shudders to imagine what inhumane thoughts lie behind that mask....what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty...”

@@MrWill9002 the giants have been added as back up
"i dont know who my father is"
also percy: 7 minutes under water
in books Ares gives Percy a tiny quest, sneaks the lighting bot into his backpack because he said he would give them supplies for this mini quest so Percy doesn't know about Luke till the end of the book
It makes me so sad that Logan Lerman is the perfect role for Percy, just 5 years too old
Tbh I think that he is a really good actor to play percy I'm just sad the movie had such a bad script
i would love him to cameo as poseidon in the upcoming series or something xD

@@sarahbosch9660 idk that would be pretty cool but give him a beard or sum to make him look old
@@ozellerickson370 yeah, i can imagine that! =D
Percy's biggest weakness is literally caring to much about his friends and family, and the movies were like: oh why not make him selfish?
I like Percy's selflessness and how much he cares for his family and friends and I really hope that they depict those things about his character in the series that were never seen in the movies
@@juanitamorgan5475 yea me too♡, i really hope the show remembers to highlight this part of his personality
I'm so happy they didn't get to make a The Titan's Curse movie because that is my favorite book of the five, and they would have ABSOLUTELY BUTCHERED Nico, Bianca and the Hunters. And I would never have forgiven them for doing Zoe dirty, so thank the gods Sea of Monsters failed.
i agree,once i finished reading the books someone told me there was movies so i watched the first one and was so angry at how much they cut out and all the important details gone
Percy is also only sad for like five minutes after he hears his mom is dead
"Mom noo- So anyway, who's the hot girl?"
@@stansman5461 😂
@@stansman5461 thats another thing they ruined is the relationship between Percy and Annabeth, it does not just happen over a few weeks like it does in the movies, it takes time. A big reason why it takes a while is because their parents Poseidon and Athena don't like each other, and Percy and Annabeth try to be different from their parents in the books.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 All while simultaneously ruining the relationship between Percy and Sally. In the books Percy is lowkey planning on breaking into the underworld to rescue his mother as soon as he finds out that underworld is a thing. It's a deciding factor as to why he took the quest in the first place, his goal wasn't saving the world, it was saving his mother.
@@vibhutiverma664 another relationship they ruined was Hades and Persephone, I think they got her confused with Aphrodite. The fact that they tried (and failed horribly ) to compress five books into just two movies, also skips over the relationship between Grover and Juniper, that one is really nice. And yet another relationship they ruined is when Percy's mother finds a boyfriend, and rather then be skeptic about it, Percy is actually happy about it.
I remember when I first saw this movie I literally thought Anabeth was Clarisse because of how they changed her character.
All because 2OTH CENTURY FOX Trusted the Person who wrote SCOOBY-DOO!
same lol
Same lmao
Same
Me too kid
Unfortunately, most fantasy shows and movies disrespect the hell out of their wonderful source material and makes them look bad :(
I love how the way he feels about the percy jackson movies is the same as how he feels about cursed child in harry potter.
Also, they said that they had to journey for the pearls, when in the book, Poseidon told a Nereid to give them to Percy, showing that Poseidon cared enough to help his son, but not enough to show his face. This also shows off his powers to talk to sea creatures and breathe underwater.
I feel like he was ashamed for abandoning him and all that. He's a really sweet and gentle and nice etc God (can't say the same for most of them) that's why Poseidon is the only God I have respect and love for
And they didn't even mention the school girl who made fun of Percy(I don't remember her name)and The god of war.
@@leonessie8971 her name was Nancy
@@masonambrose1093 Yeah Nancy Bobofit
Oh yeah I noticed that
They were trying to make Percy “edgy” and “cool”. That’s the entire point of aging them up.
But Percy is already cool just the way he is
But the point is that it didn’t work
The makers of harry potter tried to make him more decent and selfless than he was in the book
Cz they didn't want to make him look bad as hero
Movie harry wasnt a jerk
Where percy jackson makers tried to make percy more selfish and jerk in the movies than he was in the book
I think a reason for the age is also so they can somehow slap a romance in there, because duh, of course there has to be a romance and a kissing scene
@@jumper2149 aging them up is a huge and horrible mistake
We feel pity for percy cz he was only 11 when he had to deal with these stuffs
Where in the movie he was edgy teen
And also prophecy and other stuffs were ruined bcz of aging them up
a mindset of 11 y/o and a mindset of 16y/o aren't same
Comparing to original percy's age he is really mature and selfless where in movie he's trash
as a teen I hated this movie so much and loved the books so much
My anger for this movie never dies be glad they stopped on the second movie
Percy Jackson movies :We're bad movies.
Majority of recent movies: Hold my beer.
Satyrs in the mythos were known for their mirth and lust so I guess that is why they gave those attributes to Grover. Hell is not Hades either. Hades is not Satan. Not even Hell is Hel.
I'm guessing Hades killed Satan, absorbed Satan, and conquered Hell in the movie verse and changed the name. He needed more space for the dead after all.... Lol.
I think the screenwriters just looked at the cover and went:
“Oh yeah! Now we know what to do!”
Ferb: i know what to do today
They really said: *dam..the cover looks like it has a kid and some lighting around it..PERFECT! I KNOW EVERYTHING NOW!*
I think this could actually be true because they changed literally the hole plot
I agree completely
I wrote one of my college essays about this series and I got into UCLA. that’s how much of a profound impact this series had on my childhood development
That's impressive and awesome Summers! Congratulations! Definitely those books teach you more than you expect. I love them too
I read this when I was 8. I'm 14 now and this is still one of my favorite books.
@@Isai314 oh man I read the heroes of Olympus when I was 7 and I’m now 18. You make me feel old :/
Well Done 👏👏
@@Isai314 i reread the series last yr when i was 14 i remember the first time i read it i was 9 or 10.
Also, something you forgot to mention is that the first chapter is called "I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-algebra Teacher" so when in the movie Mrs.Dodd's got away it makes the whole first chapter different
A.d how Ms Dodds was the maths teacher, but in the movie it shows she was the English teacher
At first when I saw the movie, after reading the first book I saw the fight between Percy and Luke and I immediately thought “Wasn’t Percy allowed in the sky?!”
Why TF they didn't put Clarisse in the story if she's very important for next book I guess the rumors are right on how bad is the movie.
She was in the second movie actually
@@greeninja5991 Sorry I didn't know that I just read the books put they should've include it in the first movie tho.
@@alexmarquez2639 totally agree
Lol the first scene in the second movie we see is basically Clarisse vs Percy. They should've at least mentioned her in the 1st one
They where like ''Humm, this characters doesn't seem to do a lot outside being the main threat to Percy inside the camp and a reflection of bullies, something the average kid would relate to. I don't think it's important, let's just give Anabeth some of her characteristics, I don't see a problem here. OH IT TURNS OUT IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERS IN BOOK 2, LET'S JUST SAY SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE AND WE DIDN'T SHE HER BEFORE BECAUSE (insert reason here)
I’m surprised he was able to keep his cool the whole time like I was half screaming while watching the movies-
Lol I was so triggered when the movies first came out 😂
I just shouted at the screen
Same but I was swearing most of the time
I was crying inside when watching it. It was so triggering
My mom and I watched the movie together. But she left half way because she was so tired of me screaming cuss words at the screen
To me, i felt like they was trying to recreate the magic of Harry Potter (the dynamic trio, the rival, the unknown world around us....) But they also trying to not do that, because it had been done before. As the results, we got this chaotic mess.
If I was writing this screenplay for I actually would of doubled down harder on how apathetic gods could be towards their demi god children and use it to contrast traits important to mortal humanity in comparison to the traits important to immortal gods.
There’s a lot of media where the heroes are allowed to thrive and be self actualized despite dead parents but not a lot where they are allowed to reach this potential despite absentee/apathetic/unconcerned parents. It’s important children without good parents be able to picture themselves thriving in life even if they never obtain proper validation from their parents.
You could also at least try to make Grover’s change in a ladies man make some sense. Like, it’s more accurate to Greek Mythology, but the movie just screwed it up
Also another thing, Luke stealing from Hermes? I get Luke is a really good thief, but stealing from his father, the god of thieves and the guy who likely has every defense measure possible against this sort of thing from ever happening? Luke wouldn't get past the front door.
hermes probally let luke steal them
ahem, the demigod diaries
@@StrangerJayden ? could you expand on that?
@@bitbook2000 the staff of hermes, hermes got his staff stolen
@@StrangerJayden The Staff of Hermes was stolen from the giant Hippolytus, bane of Hermes. Luke would never have stood a chance of stealing from the god of thieves himself
We fans wear Camp Halfblood tshirts more than any person in the movie xD
for some reason, one of the biggest things that annoys me is that in the movie they say to use the flying shoes you just have to break into a run, but in the book you must shout Maia for it to work idk why that annoys me so much
Taking away the reveal that Percy was one of the big threes children is the equivalent of taking away the scene of Hagrid telling Harry hes a wizard lol. I completely agree with you on all of this and was so disappointed when watching this movie in theaters.
Imagine how many Monster Donut shops Percy accidentaly opened just because of that Hydra... Even in the books, he only chopped off three of its many heads...
Exactly
Ikr
I forgot how monster doughnut shops are made. Care to educate me?
@@rawcookiedough7518 you cut off a hydra head and I’m pretty sure a shop opens up (I might be wrong it’s been a while and I’m just going off memory)
@@sophiegomez5302 yeah apparently some hydra nests are connected to chain restaurants so if a head is cut only for it to grow back, that opens another monster doughnut
IF the Chris and the screen writers took more time to actually read the books and sit and discuss to how everything would be then, the movies would have been a masterpiece
Dw there’s a show coming out where he’s gonna have lots of influence, gonna be great.
To be fair, it isn’t Chris Columbus’s job to read the books.
@Matthew Wu How do you adapt anything without researching the source material?
@@jomz2058 because he wasn’t the person that is responsible for researching. I forgot what the role for it is called, but it’s addressing in the video
It was a chance for a Harry Potter-type megafranchise, but no...... a couple people were too lazy to do a couple hours of reading.
when I was little, I watched this and was yelling at the tv every time the movie got obvious information wrong, when grover said he hadn't gotten his horns yet I visibly cringed and proceeded to yell "THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS-" at the tv... needless to say, my parents were confused.
