I remember reading the books in 2012 at the library and it made the school years less lonely. I literally can't remember details of the plot now but the feeling of having read the first and second series will always be one of my best memories. Hope the show gains the immense success it deserves, as well as being an adaptation that does the stories justice.
Never read these books but your comment reminds me of going to the library after school in the 80's and doing the same thing for probably the same reasons. I wish I could enjoy the library in that way again!
Thank God someone else has the same experience as me. I felt a little bit bad. Maybe 5 years ago I could recount the first 5 books and The Heroes of Olympus word for word like I read them yesterday but it's been awhile and a lot of things have happened in my life since then and now they've finally brought it back to live action and I'm just hoping it will all come back to me as I watch the show and see all the set pieces I used to only be able to imagine
I saw the thought process but the song choice just didn't work for this trailer. The footage looks good but the track just sucks so much energy out of it.
not every franchise has to be stretched thin its tiring to see all this old stuff everything is a franchise nowadays there arent many good standalone series that dont get milked to death anymore when was the last time disney did something completely new?
It means it has the potential to be popular. OR it COULD be disney+'s nest big flop. I LOVED the series in middle school when I read it with friends. The books were fantastic. This does have more promise than the movie tho.
@@ginajones3992Or is it because the original books had a large fan base that is still alive to this day and that we were waiting for a proper adaptation of the books?
i don't know why but the "you're gonna have to be brave now" line just sends shivers down my spine because, as someone who read the entire riordanverse, i can say that percy goes through so much in each book and it's making me emotional
Hearing Riptide in the beginning is everything I have been listening to that song thinking about the sword for a lot of my life and finally seeing them both together is incredibly cathartic.
This means something to me man. I've reread the books countless times. Easily my favourite teen series. This trailer does the books so much justice. I know it seems like the bare minimum, but they actually have all the locations from the books, unlike a certain movie. Seeing the beach house, Gateway Arch scene, the love boat, Ares. I cannot wait for this series to come
THIS ONE TIME IN A STORE WHEN I JUST FINSIHED PERCY JACKSON LIKE IN 4TH OR 3RD GRADE RIPTIDE CAME ON AND THE LYRICS ARE LIKE “lady running down to the riptide taken away to the darkside” AND IT MADE ME THINK THAT THE LADY WAS ANNABETH AND SHE WAS LIKE GOING TO THE DARKSIDE AND RIPTIDE IS THE NAME OF PERCYS Sword SO IT MADE SENSE AND I GOT NOSTALGIC AND NOW ITS IN THE TRAILER
I love seeing all the comments of people expressing how much Percy Jackson means to them, and I am so excited for all the kids that are going to come to this amazing story through the TV show. I have so much faith in both Rick Riordan and Jonathan Steinberg - this show is going to be epic! This teaser gave me goosebumps, I can't wait
"I do not make films for children... or, at least, not primarily for children." "You're dead if you aim for kids." "We design the films to appeal to ourselves." "The adults have the money; ... children don't have any money." - Walt Disney
I thought the same, on the other teaser youcan see the gates of the underworld, and ares coming close to percyon abeach for the final battle just as in the book
When I read books I have different voices for different characters, and my own voice for the narration. Percy's voice was the exact voice that was in my mind, when I read the books. And, let me tell you I am pumped this Christmas.
@@ToyStoryboy2009 well we are getting a Kane Chronicles animated series on Netflix and Riordan has said that if all five books of the original PJO books are adapted he will do the HoO series. Just means we gotta support it by any means necessary.
As much as I'd love that, the changes they're making will make it harder to do the second series. Like Percy being blonde. Jason's whole deal is kinda being the opposite of Percy and "the Golden Boy". Especially since the entire premise of the series was "book accuracy"
The characters being the right ages make this story 100000% better. As a kid I connected to them being my age on wild, brave adventures and it inspired me. Now I watch as an adult and I'm like holy shit they're so small and that monster is giant. It reminds me of Stranger Things and how putting the kids right in the action makes the stakes of the story way better.
I think the actors are older than the characters in the book by a couple years, and by the end of the run of the show they will be way older probably. Still closer in age than the movie series though.
The Percy Jackson books have been my all time favorite books for a long time now, I’m really hoping this holds up to my expectations. Riordan’s written a lot in the years since the Peter Johnson movies were released, plenty of content to adapt
There's something about the color scheme, the song and the overall vibe of the show that's familiar and in turn, comforting. I read Percy Jackson when I was younger and it's so nice to be able to experience that childhood comfort of the books again through this series. I'm so excited for it to come out!
Why should we support someone who clearly cares so little for his stories that his own fans have to remind him what his characters look like? You really think he'll be able to accurately conjure the stories and other details? Its gonna be more attacks and gaslighting from a creator who stop caring about the stories that gave us escapism from this miserable world we live and the immense impact they had on us. Ill stick with the books. They wont abandon or hate me for caring.
I was a very lonely in middle/high school and reading these books brought me a lot of joy. They made me feel like I was going on insane adventure with the coolest kids ever. I’m so glad to see it being adapted!!!
I am SOO excited. I loved and still love all of these stories from my childhood, but with time, I can't help thinking: "You were heroes" "We were children! We didn't need to be brave; we needed to be protected!"
I grew up in a pretty bad household, didn’t know who my father was and stuff wasn’t much better at school. Percy Jackson gave me an escape to a fantasy world where I would have the answers to the mysteries surrounding my childhood. I’m so happy to see this series and the way it’s so accurately representing the books. I hope the series is as good as the trailer and we get to see more. Thank you Rick riordan and everyone involved in the making of this adaptation of the book.
I grew up with a mostly absent father and lots of problems in school, so I get that too. I was actually expelled in grade 3, due to symptoms of undiagnosed ADHD and behavioral issues resulting from my parents separating. Percy makes me feel normal. Like even though I'm not some hero, I don't feel so bad about being kicked out of school. I don't feel so stupid when I see Percy, because he's so dynamic. Immature and ridiculous and dumb, and also serious, unexpectedly smart, and skilled beyond measure. But Nico was the one who made me feel like I could have the future I wanted. I'll never be able to thank Rick enough for these books ❤
I’m lucky to not grow up in bad household even though my parents skip they still are friends. So I happy that the series made u feel good and happy as if you belong. Much love to u❤❤❤
I am a History teacher. I watched the film at theater and then I read the books! I was so happy when one of my students started growing a taste for reading, for History and for Greek Mythology (among others) through Percy Jackson! Other students followed a similar path. I remember getting emotional on how people - children, teenagers - could really improve themselves, connect to each other and change despite how hard life had been hitting them. At least in those pages and many others the could have the world and also think about different lessons and perspectives for their lives! I feel happy for you, too!
Ikr! Idk how but its like they got the whole set for Camp Half Blood from my imagination!! Honestly, all credits go to uncle Rick. He just wrote the books so beautifully that we can imagine the whole surrounding so accurately.
I was in middle school when i first read this series and now I've graduated college, so seeing this book finally come to life on screen in a faithful adaptation actually brings tears to my eyes, and makes me realize just how much I've grown since then. And yet I still have never grown out of my Percy Jackson phase, and with 5 seasons of this I probably never will!
Same! We’re the same age, and I remember watching the movie in my 7th grade class - so it’s so weird to see kids their actual age acting (which is how it SHOULD be)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians was the second book series I ever read. It and Harry Potter is what inspired my love for reading, and that love has never stopped, and it never will. I got full body chills when I watched this trailer and I can already tell that this will be a faithful adaptation. The song in the background, the altered "Riptide" by Vance Joy, is a perfect addition to both the series and the trailer. I've always thought the music chosen for tv shows and movies has a huge impact on the viewer and what they feel and experience, and it was proven once again to be true. Aside from that, I hope that this goes on to educate and entertain new watchers and readers about the world of Half-bloods and demigods. Also, I hope it continues for the full 5 seasons, or even more with the Heroes of Olympus series. I couldn't be more excited to watch these talented young actors grow up with these characters and bring them to life. I can't wait.
I really love that the characters seem to have been cast to reflect their book-accurate age. If this show is done well, the kids will grow into their characters, similarly to how the Harry Potter kids grew into their characters.
And now wb discovery will reboot the Harry Potter franchise as a series. I loved the movies but they did took out several important elements from the books.
I have been waiting for a good adaptation of these books since I was a little kid! These books meant so much to me growing up with autism and feeling different and alone. The show looks great, I teared up a little at the end there. So excited to watch!
i’m crossing my fingers that this show gets to be as big as Stranger Things or Wednesday. The book series is absolutely phenomenal and I have high hopes for the show.
@@puterboy2 The Harry Potter books were set in the 90s but the movies used the time when they were released (2000s). Honestly, I think that’s the intent. For Percy Jackson to be the new Stranger Things. Tween characters going on a fantastical adventure with emotions building and themes of growing up and finding your place in the world.
The Percy Jackson series has helped me so much. After a tough day in school, after exams, nothing really quite matches the feeling of coming home and reading the books. Still remains one of my favorite books of all time. Very excited for this series!!!
I am bawling my eyes out over this. This is so perfect and I’m so proud of Leah, Aryan and Walker for playing the roles of a book series that also means so much to them. Having a faithful adaptation of a book series that shaped me as a person is too much for me to handle.
@@Arrowflight ha ha ha as if I didn’t grow up on the series and read it a million times. If you think the adaptation is so bad, then *don’t watch the show*. The books are right there for u
this series was legitimately 50% of my childhood, this series seems to have taken a much more authentic approach to the books than the old movies thankfully
@@mnomadvfxthat and this whole "hes the hero so he gets the girl" thing. Not only is that a trope run over too much but it just made the whole plot feel tacky. I love how with this series they are actually drawing from the book. The scene where Percy and his mom get away from Gabe and go to the becah house was really great and I'm glad we actualy get to see that this time
@@hamburgerdog25annabeth looks nothing like the book description, in a universe where diversity is alive and well they didn’t cast the one FMC to fit her looks. It’s like casting Brad Pitt to play black panther or Michael b Jordan to be Rocky’s kid not creeds kid. Just a missed opportunity tbh I don’t doubt the actress is good just doesn’t look like annabeth
As long as they let Riordan have his creative and the dialogue isn't bad (which is sadly a big if) input I don't see this show going downhill. The actors are all super talented and I can't wait to watch this with my friends. Also, might I add that the use of a dark-sounding Riptide by Vance Joy was a friggin brilliant easter egg for fans of the books! Very excited!!!!
I mean true, but the length wasn't really the biggest problem with the movie. Removing the main villain and some of the most iconic scenes was much worse, and made the plot rather more generic.
@Percy-nr9hzHonestly I myself imagined Chiron to be somewhat brown always but Annabeth and Zeus' details I remember like the back of my hand, and black skin tone just doesn't fit. Grover however could have used a darker tone. It's not about racism, it's about characters being true to the book. I look at the girl and think that they couldn't have chosen a more different Annabeth.
The fact that Ares is actually a part of this show makes it 1000 times better than the movies. The cast look phenomenal, and I am so excited for this show!!!!!
Yeah, I didn't hate the movie, but not having Ares was such a huge mistake. It made the plot so much more generic, while also ruining the setup for the rest of the series.
I'm gonna start crying because of how BEAUTIFUL this looks😭 My childhood is getting the adaptation it deserves, and I can't wait to watch the whole thing with my family😢
It is interesting but in Turkish translate of book, his sword's name is Dalgakıran what means breakwater.But it is makes more sense in our language. It is cooler. One info for any day😉
@@spore4893hopefully his portrayal of Zeus will pay off in season 1 and hopefully whoever they choose to recast as Zeus will be able to do good as well
@@ToyStoryboy2009 hope so. But there is one thing we know of Greek Gods, they are known to shapeshift and can decide to change their human apperances how ever they please or not
As a fan who wasn't quite impressed by the film adaptations of the books, this show and its cast looks really promising. The first two episodes itself were wonderfully executed and the cinematography is great. Really looking forward to a proper adaptation of Riordan's masterpiece.
@@SyahruliNurQotrunnada well, that might be your opinion. I personally loved all of them and am looking forward to more from the series, but I respect your opinion.
Wow. I am speechless. This gave me chills. As a Percy Jackson, One Piece, and Scott Pilgrim die-hard, I can tell that this fall/winter season is going to be my favorite in TV. Hope the studios will pay their writers, actors, and everyone else so we can continue to get amazing quality entertainment!
No matter how different an actor looks, if their skin or hair color is different, it will always be way better than casting an actor who is 10 years older than their role. And the book would work just as well if the characters’ physical descriptions were changed to the new actors’ appearance. Message, topics, dialogue, humor, character traits, relationships, vibe and character dynamics would still be the same, and that is what’s most important about an adaptation.
@@alexnoyle oh man, yeah. Not to mention, just about all of the Athena kids at camp had blonde hair and grey eyes. If they change that, I actually would be happier, because I was not thrilled about that in the books, not gonna lie. But, if everyone is alright with this change but not the dark hair in the movies, sounds rather hypocritical to me. The changes are alright in one adaptation but not the other? We haven't come that far as a fandom.
@@RoseBaggins For me the reason it would work better in this adaptation is that the way Annabeth was stereotyped as a dumb valley girl also applies to how black women are often perceived. The movie just used a white woman with black hair, with no thematic parallels, to me thats worse. But in either case I would prefer they stick to the book.
@RoseBaggins I'll admit I cared about her hair colour in the movies, but I don't now. I don't see this as hypocritical, but instead as maturing. I was 10 when the movie came out, but I'm 23 now. My opinions have changed in the past 13 years
This was really one of the best book collections I have ever read in my childhood, truly incredible. I hope they will also do the other series from the same universe, like Heroes of Olympia
@@Cardinal_clawThey'll think of something. Seeing as they can't do the "nobody who's met Annabeth Chase ever makes dumb blonde jokes" with this Annabeth, one presumes they'll think up alternatives.
So glad I am now a fan for some reason. While I was in school, we never read Percy Jackson. Most classes did, but mine didn't. Years later, who would know at 19 I would be such a big fan of this show, having watched it twice already and starting to finally read the book, which I’m enjoying. I love these characters as well as the actors playing them. They are truly perfect. I can’t wait for season 2.
Its not the same acter goofys no they show gona be ass they shoulda did another movie with the same dude like harry potter but nope people like you love reboots not new things but reboots yall lame
@@plagues-haze-3987 The movie is also technically a reboot. It's based off a book series, and I'm excited because this is more accurate to the book series. 😐
About 10 years for me too!! Started reading about half a year before The House of Hades came out, and it seemed like forever waiting for Blood of Olympus. Now we have a whole show!! Only a few more MONTHS!
Same! Read them in 2014 (tried reading in 2010, but dropped them after getting lazy and restarted in 2014), then I read Heroes of Olympus from late 2015 - 2016, then Trials of Apollo in 2021. I'm really looking forward to this series.
I've had a copy of The Lightning Thief since 2005, though I didn't get into the series until I saw the movies in 2013. This looks like it'll be a better adaptation than the movies though. And of course there's a brand new Percy Jackson book out tomorrow.
Still remember all my good times back at Camp Half-Blood 😌Back in my day, it was a little more... violent than this 😅 Glad to see things have changed, excited to watch this new reality show of my old camp!
I first read the Percy Jackson books over a decade ago, and they they are still among my favourite books now as an adult. This one and a half min trailer just made me bawl my eyes out - as much as this will be phenomenal for kids today who will grow up with this tv series, it will always mean more to us kids who never grew out of our Percy Jackson phase!
Then I think you're not appreciating the series to its full! There are nuances and levels to it that you will come to better appreciate with age.@@fikcyjna.autroka4
@@sweeper4265 if you find the concept of experiencing of deep emotion from childhood nostalgia a totally foreign concept, then I think YOURE the one who needs the therapist, bud. You’ve got some walls that need breaking down
I’m on the verge of tears. This looks absolutely amazing and after ten years since I picked up this book, I am so happy that this series is getting the adaptation that it truly deserves. 👏😭💕
Percy Jackson’s fans has been waiting for this for years..and now it’s here. I don’t Care if the characters aren’t book related, all I care about is them bringing the characters alive. And I can tell that they’re gonna do it right.
It’s gonna be another cleopatra situation if they decide to start making Greek gods anything other than white or tanned seeing as they are you know, Greek. But seeing as Annabelle is black they will probably make Athena black and maybe make Zeus Asian to get all that diversity they love so much
@@lucasbelmonte2832lmao you can't even say Annabeth's name correctly and is already talking crap 😂 The gods are gods, if you had read the books you'd know the gods can choose any form they prefer. They're not exactly one thing, and they are influenced by the current society they are set in, which is the US. Aphrodite is the biggest example, in the books her form changes every second bc she's the embodiment of beauty and beauty standards are very personal and subjective. And if you're not looking for diversity, PJO is definitely not for you. Maybe consume something else :)
@@EtanoS24it's clearly not what this person means they genuinely don't know or care since they're not even aware that PJO gods don't look like they're greek at all lol
@@G30RG3KA hahhaha less funny than the fact that you go into a trailer for something you clearly won't watch just to try and devalue the opinion of people who are actually excited, and for good reason hahaha
@@AMillionToOne123that’s what I’m saying because why would you bother coming here and saying the show is bad and that anyone who likes it is stupid it’s just pathetic
Everyone was great in the first two episodes Aryan & Walker's chemistry is insanely good & I'm in love with both Dior & that dude who plays Luke 😭 The pilot was incredible,prolly the best book to TV adaption ever
I discovered these books in middle school like most kids. I burned through the first 3 that were in my school library in less than a year, bought book 4, then book 5 when it finally came out the summer before my 8th grade. I got my parents to extend my grounding by 2 weeks AND offered to pay myself to go see the first movie when it came out after I had gotten myself in trouble (was not worth it). Then I read the series to my little sister as a bed time story through most of high school. I was so impressed she could read the word centaur at age 7. My only regret is that I haven't caught up with Heroes of Olympus or Trials of Apollo. Percy and his friends at Camp Half Blood are like family to me. Visiting their world was an escape from a lonely childhood. And Percy himself was always my hero. Not because he was strong or powerful, and not because he lived in a world of wonder I wish I could be a part of, but because he always felt like a screw up, even in spite of all the things he did right. But no matter who talked down to him or how many mistakes he made, he got back up and did his best to fix things. And he found friends, family, and happiness even as the universe itself seemed determined to keep him and his loved ones away from it out of pure spite. I'll be thrilled to see the trio's adventures again, and I hope to tell my kids of true heroes that fought to make the world a better place, even in the face of gods and monsters.
Omg same I was so lonely during my tween/teenage years. These characters felt like friends to me, I used to admire them, and I wanted to be their friends. It provided me with a lot of comfort during those years, and Camp Half Blood is still in my heart after all these years.
@@jigdreldorji7806I really hope they don’t let this flop and let it get all the way to the next series. At the bare minimum we need the first series though I need to see NICO
The fact that they used riptide for the trailer song makes this 100% better! knowing they are somewhat connected to there audience gives me a little hope for this show.
@@letsbereal9850we've been waiting our whole lives for this.we grew up reading the books seeing the failure that was the movies and seeing percy grow with us.why is it sad that we are happy?
I cannot wait for this. The trailer looks so good. Adam Copeland as Ares was such an amazing casting choice. And the music for this trailer really does fit so well.
These books were my childhood. There was a stretch from The Mark of Athena to The Blood of Olympus where each book came out right around my birthday and I would get the new book and just devour it. To see an adaptation that looks so faithful and has Rick's blessing warms my heart and I cannot wait for this show!
I started Percy Jackson in 3rd grade, throughout covid, it was such a relief reading this series, and seeing it all come to life is so amazing, I also love them playing Riptide by Vance Joy in the background
As someone who got into it when I was older, and is now MUCH older, I'm so SO happy to see young fans enjoying the books and getting to grow up with them! I wish Percy Jackson was more popular sooner like it deserves, but now it will have it's rightful place because of this show, finally!! I'm going to try getting my younger siblings and cousins into it too haha!
yeah i randomly saw the hosue of hades in my school library in second grade read that and then found out about all hte other books I kinda read some out of order without knowing but it was an amazing experience of finally liking to read books as a kid
I must congratulate whoever edited the trailers for this show for being a master trailer editor. Despite the fact that the two lead characters don't match the book's descriptions, the editing, music, cinematography, and pretty much everything else gives me chills watching the trailers. I don't know how many times I've watched them at this point.
@@LunrFox This same line is repeated by over 8 accounts that I've seen, copy/paste, on videos about this show. They are bot accounts, paid for by Disney to prop up its videos.
I began to read Percy Jackson in 3rd grade when I found the book in a local library. And this may be a little dramatic, but it changed my life. Greek Mythology was such a ginormous part of my life up until now, and this series has grown close to my heart. When I heard this series was coming out, I was very excited, and I hope that this series doesn’t such. The movies were pure trash, nothing more.
To me, there was this nerdy girl back in junior high that introduced me to the books because I showed her my LOTR books I watched the movies with my friend at the time but I just felt like it felt off and after reading the books, I realized that the movies were pure garbage. I really owed that girl a lot for showing me the real way to enjoy the series Edit: before you ask, no. The girl is not my gf. She's my teacher's daughter and I had a gf back then
I still vividly remember reading the books when I was in elementary and buying the sequel series from the book fair as they released 😂 I’m 20 now and couldn’t be any happier that this is coming out
I'm jumping out of my seat right now pointing at all the adaptations I recognise from the books because they've finally been done justice! Ares finally getting the spotlight he deserves, the chimera battle, the waterpark set up omg it's all there and I'm so happy!
i'm so speechless right now OMGGG this series is what made me want to be a writer. my thesis was a novel heavily inspired by percy and his world. and to think that it's finally going to get an adaptation that's true to the books-- I'M SOBBING. everyone who knows me knows how much percy jackson means to me and everyone who knows me knows just how insufferable i will be once this show is released. i just can't believe it's almost here. i'm word vomiting right now but i don't care, i waited a decade for this. this is a dream come true.
This series was there for me when I needed it most. It continued to be as the time went on, even when I realized I outgrew the writing style. Now to see it as a tv show, that is clearly being made with a lot of effort and passion… damn my heart😭 WE WILL BE THERE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I read the entire Percy Jackson series when I was younger and now rereading it again because of how good it is. Seeing the show coming out makes me ecstatic of what it is in store, although I am hoping it doesn't turn out like the movie adaptations. I have hopes for you Disney!!!
I'm going to continue rewatching this trailer until it reaches a million views maybe even a billion!! Percy Jackson fans including myself have waited too long for a faithful adaptation and I want to do my part as a massive fan to make sure this show does well!!! I can't even begin to describe my hype for this show!! December please come quickly!! 🙏😩😍
ive changed and grown so much since i first read percy jackson, but watching this trailer made me feel like no time has passed. beyond excited for this show. my childhood before my eyes
Man, I love that this looks as dramatic as I remember reading these books as a 12 year old felt. The actors all seem great from this brief snippet-Percy doesn't quite have the sardonic edge I always imagined him with but he still seems really good! And loving everyone else. Now it just has to land the humor!
Yeah, I love the song choice and the set design, but Percy seems too calm/mature. Especially in the first book he was very self-conscious, anxious, and had a lot of struggles. I hope they don’t sweep that under the rug too quickly and easily
Obviously we can't tell from such a small snippet, but going off of his role in The Adam Project and interviews, Walker is going to nail the sarcastic nature of Percy
@@Music365-t4v I think we can see a tiny bit of that self consciousness during the museum work scenes. I think they're trying to save a lot of the more emotional dynamics for a first watch, like how we haven't seen any sneak peeks of him at home with Gabe. I'm anticipating how they portray everything !
I remember reading the books in 2012 at the library and it made the school years less lonely. I literally can't remember details of the plot now but the feeling of having read the first and second series will always be one of my best memories. Hope the show gains the immense success it deserves, as well as being an adaptation that does the stories justice.
I feel this, it sounds like it's about time for a re-read though! 😊
It was exactly the same for me. The nostalgia is actually making me tear up.
Never read these books but your comment reminds me of going to the library after school in the 80's and doing the same thing for probably the same reasons. I wish I could enjoy the library in that way again!
Thank God someone else has the same experience as me. I felt a little bit bad. Maybe 5 years ago I could recount the first 5 books and The Heroes of Olympus word for word like I read them yesterday but it's been awhile and a lot of things have happened in my life since then and now they've finally brought it back to live action and I'm just hoping it will all come back to me as I watch the show and see all the set pieces I used to only be able to imagine
Recommend you give the other books a try
whoever chose Riptide as the song because of Percy's sword needs a raise
A raise? Nah they need to be *_PROMOTED_*
AAAAAHHHHH I JUST REALIZED
so good
I saw the thought process but the song choice just didn't work for this trailer. The footage looks good but the track just sucks so much energy out of it.
You know it might be because he's the son of Poseidon but I'm just throwing that out there
I really hope this show does well. There aren’t many long term series on Disney plus these days but this series looks to be promising.
I feel you. I lost interest in the Mighty Ducks after Season 1. Didn’t feel the same without Bombay
Uhh, it still looking meh
I just wish they stuck to the book better story and cast wise. other than that it looks really good.
not every franchise has to be stretched thin its tiring to see all this old stuff everything is a franchise nowadays there arent many good standalone series that dont get milked to death anymore when was the last time disney did something completely new?
What about this trailer makes you think its deviating from the story of the books?@@isaacdesrosiers3556
The fact that this is the most watched video on the Disney plus channel means that this is going to be a popular show
I’m surprised it’s gotten this much attention but I like it
It means it has the potential to be popular. OR it COULD be disney+'s nest big flop.

Hearing Riptide in the beginning is everything I have been listening to that song thinking about the sword for a lot of my life and finally seeing them both together is incredibly cathartic.
ikr
ME TOO, i was like why have I always associated this song with the memories I've had reading PJO and now seven years later I hear it. Wow so surreal
would you please explain why this song has a connection to this "sword"? I don't know about the story but the comments made me intrigued.
@@looly21 they share a name. Both the song and the sword are called Riptide.
@@looly21 the sword is called Riptide and so that is why it always draws me to the song as it's the same name.
I am back here after seeing the season 2 announcement teaser today and Walker's voice now 😭😭 He grew up so much. He sounds so different there.
right his voice is so different

This means something to me man. I've reread the books countless times. Easily my favourite teen series. This trailer does the books so much justice. I know it seems like the bare minimum, but they actually have all the locations from the books, unlike a certain movie. Seeing the beach house, Gateway Arch scene, the love boat, Ares. I cannot wait for this series to come
what movie

Yeassss I was so excited when I saw waterland! They're actually including locations from the books! Hope they include Crusty's too!
What movie? There is no movie. There is NO movie. : )
Bro, this trailer does the opposite of justice
“I was scared of dentists and the dark” in the beginning still gives me chills every time
it really does
THIS ONE TIME IN A STORE WHEN I JUST FINSIHED PERCY JACKSON LIKE IN 4TH OR 3RD GRADE RIPTIDE CAME ON AND THE LYRICS ARE LIKE
“lady running down to the riptide taken away to the darkside” AND IT MADE ME THINK THAT THE LADY WAS ANNABETH AND SHE WAS LIKE GOING TO THE DARKSIDE AND RIPTIDE IS THE NAME OF PERCYS Sword SO IT MADE SENSE AND I GOT NOSTALGIC
AND NOW ITS IN THE TRAILER
Harika
cmon its just riptide
The end always gives me the chills
I love seeing all the comments of people expressing how much Percy Jackson means to them, and I am so excited for all the kids that are going to come to this amazing story through the TV show. I have so much faith in both Rick Riordan and Jonathan Steinberg - this show is going to be epic! This teaser gave me goosebumps, I can't wait

@@ToyStoryboy2009 well we are getting a Kane Chronicles animated series on Netflix and Riordan has said that if all five books of the original PJO books are adapted he will do the HoO series.
Just means we gotta support it by any means necessary.
As much as I'd love that, the changes they're making will make it harder to do the second series. Like Percy being blonde. Jason's whole deal is kinda being the opposite of Percy and "the Golden Boy". Especially since the entire premise of the series was "book accuracy"
As a Percy Jackson fan I must admit that this show looks so good. I really hope this show becomes as successful as the books were.
So does Rick, he was in on the production of this.
If this succeeds i hope we'll also get another shot at Eragon

The characters being the right ages make this story 100000% better. As a kid I connected to them being my age on wild, brave adventures and it inspired me. Now I watch as an adult and I'm like holy shit they're so small and that monster is giant. It reminds me of Stranger Things and how putting the kids right in the action makes the stakes of the story way better.
I don’t think their age matters much (as long as their young and not above high school age) the only thing that matters is 4 year prophecy
I think the actors are older than the characters in the book by a couple years, and by the end of the run of the show they will be way older probably. Still closer in age than the movie series though.
@@mripwntheworld annabeth , grover and percy's actors are pretty much the same age as the characters
@@chikannnn I think Grover was always old in the books and only said he was 12
Yh but if it took this long for S1 imagine how old they'll be in S5 😭
The Percy Jackson books have been my all time favorite books for a long time now, I’m really hoping this holds up to my expectations. Riordan’s written a lot in the years since the Peter Johnson movies were released, plenty of content to adapt
There's something about the color scheme, the song and the overall vibe of the show that's familiar and in turn, comforting. I read Percy Jackson when I was younger and it's so nice to be able to experience that childhood comfort of the books again through this series. I'm so excited for it to come out!
It reminds me of the original covers. The dark blues and vibrant yellows especially
Oooohh yes and hopefully it gets a little bit darker the further the show progresses😊
Why should we support someone who clearly cares so little for his stories that his own fans have to remind him what his characters look like? You really think he'll be able to accurately conjure the stories and other details? Its gonna be more attacks and gaslighting from a creator who stop caring about the stories that gave us escapism from this miserable world we live and the immense impact they had on us. Ill stick with the books. They wont abandon or hate me for caring.

I was a very lonely in middle/high school and reading these books brought me a lot of joy. They made me feel like I was going on insane adventure with the coolest kids ever.
I’m so glad to see it being adapted!!!

I grew up in a pretty bad household, didn’t know who my father was and stuff wasn’t much better at school. Percy Jackson gave me an escape to a fantasy world where I would have the answers to the mysteries surrounding my childhood. I’m so happy to see this series and the way it’s so accurately representing the books. I hope the series is as good as the trailer and we get to see more. Thank you Rick riordan and everyone involved in the making of this adaptation of the book.
I grew up with a mostly absent father and lots of problems in school, so I get that too. I was actually expelled in grade 3, due to symptoms of undiagnosed ADHD and behavioral issues resulting from my parents separating. Percy makes me feel normal. Like even though I'm not some hero, I don't feel so bad about being kicked out of school. I don't feel so stupid when I see Percy, because he's so dynamic. Immature and ridiculous and dumb, and also serious, unexpectedly smart, and skilled beyond measure. But Nico was the one who made me feel like I could have the future I wanted. I'll never be able to thank Rick enough for these books ❤
I’m lucky to not grow up in bad household even though my parents skip they still are friends. So I happy that the series made u feel good and happy as if you belong. Much love to u❤❤❤
i didn’t ask
@@LaxAndJupiter why the negativity? :(
I am a History teacher. I watched the film at theater and then I read the books! I was so happy when one of my students started growing a taste for reading, for History and for Greek Mythology (among others) through Percy Jackson! Other students followed a similar path. I remember getting emotional on how people - children, teenagers - could really improve themselves, connect to each other and change despite how hard life had been hitting them. At least in those pages and many others the could have the world and also think about different lessons and perspectives for their lives!
I feel happy for you, too!
It is genuinely impressive how well this lines up visually with how I imagined the events in the books years ago. High hopes.
Exactly what I thought!
Precisely, and it really has been years since I read them. Super excited!
Yeah! Camp Half-Blood - as if I saw it before, fitted greatly
RIGHT!?!?
Ikr! Idk how but its like they got the whole set for Camp Half Blood from my imagination!! Honestly, all credits go to uncle Rick. He just wrote the books so beautifully that we can imagine the whole surrounding so accurately.
I was in middle school when i first read this series and now I've graduated college, so seeing this book finally come to life on screen in a faithful adaptation actually brings tears to my eyes, and makes me realize just how much I've grown since then. And yet I still have never grown out of my Percy Jackson phase, and with 5 seasons of this I probably never will!
Same! We’re the same age, and I remember watching the movie in my 7th grade class - so it’s so weird to see kids their actual age acting (which is how it SHOULD be)
Elementary school for me, I’m in college now, kinda crazy to think how long it has been.
faithful adaptation...proceeds to change annabeth entirely
Omg saaaame i first read when i was 11 now im 25 and im crying. Im so excited it feels like im a kid again ❤❤❤
@@rahulsen4942 define "entirely" you n*zi

I wasn’t expecting to cry but here I am. This series meant so so so much to me as a kid.
they changed annabeths whole ass race lol but tell me again how they got it perfect??
@@Arrowflight Annabeth’s race doesn’t matter at all. She could be purple for all I care and the plot would be the same.
@@Arrowflight it's not even her skin it's her not-blonde hair and not-gray eyes
You are not alone. I sobbed hysterically for 10 minutes
looks trash tho
Percy Jackson and the Olympians was the second book series I ever read. It and Harry Potter is what inspired my love for reading, and that love has never stopped, and it never will. I got full body chills when I watched this trailer and I can already tell that this will be a faithful adaptation. The song in the background, the altered "Riptide" by Vance Joy, is a perfect addition to both the series and the trailer. I've always thought the music chosen for tv shows and movies has a huge impact on the viewer and what they feel and experience, and it was proven once again to be true.
Aside from that, I hope that this goes on to educate and entertain new watchers and readers about the world of Half-bloods and demigods. Also, I hope it continues for the full 5 seasons, or even more with the Heroes of Olympus series. I couldn't be more excited to watch these talented young actors grow up with these characters and bring them to life. I can't wait.
Same
Bro I couldn’t agree more, I just hope they do a good enough job so they can go on to heroes of Olympus or at least reach the 5th book

I'm 30 now, worth going back and reading it or is it something I should've read when I was younger? Looking for a new thing to pick up
@@pianist150it’s always worth reading Percy Jackson
I really love that the characters seem to have been cast to reflect their book-accurate age.
If this show is done well, the kids will grow into their characters, similarly to how the Harry Potter kids grew into their characters.
And now wb discovery will reboot the Harry Potter franchise as a series. I loved the movies but they did took out several important elements from the books.
True, though Grover and Annabeth are race-swapped, and Percy has the incorrect hair colour.
We will see. I mean we already see race swapping and different hair colors but if they follow the books story it will be great
@@magmafang Rick casted them because he said they embody the characters very well. Let's just trust that the series will come out well
Something else doesn't seem book accurate.
This show was absolutely beautiful and incredible
I have been waiting for a good adaptation of these books since I was a little kid! These books meant so much to me growing up with autism and feeling different and alone. The show looks great, I teared up a little at the end there. So excited to watch!

i’m crossing my fingers that this show gets to be as big as Stranger Things or Wednesday. The book series is absolutely phenomenal and I have high hopes for the show.
If it was set in the 2000s, which it probably isn't.
You can uncross your fingers now because this will get cancelled after one season.
Uh huh
@@puterboy2
The Harry Potter books were set in the 90s but the movies used the time when they were released (2000s).
Honestly, I think that’s the intent. For Percy Jackson to be the new Stranger Things. Tween characters going on a fantastical adventure with emotions building and themes of growing up and finding your place in the world.

I am bawling my eyes out over this. This is so perfect and I’m so proud of Leah, Aryan and Walker for playing the roles of a book series that also means so much to them. Having a faithful adaptation of a book series that shaped me as a person is too much for me to handle.

this series was legitimately 50% of my childhood, this series seems to have taken a much more authentic approach to the books than the old movies thankfully
The old films tried too hard to appeal to Harry Potter movie fans, even same director as the first HP film.
@@mnomadvfxthat and this whole "hes the hero so he gets the girl" thing. Not only is that a trope run over too much but it just made the whole plot feel tacky. I love how with this series they are actually drawing from the book. The scene where Percy and his mom get away from Gabe and go to the becah house was really great and I'm glad we actualy get to see that this time
But they downgrade Annabeth Chase
@@rockerdude8289 what makes you say that
@@hamburgerdog25annabeth looks nothing like the book description, in a universe where diversity is alive and well they didn’t cast the one FMC to fit her looks. It’s like casting Brad Pitt to play black panther or Michael b Jordan to be Rocky’s kid not creeds kid. Just a missed opportunity tbh I don’t doubt the actress is good just doesn’t look like annabeth
OMG I’VE LITERALLY WATCHED THIS TRAILER A DOZEN TIMES BUT I CAN’T GET ENOUGH. GOOOO PERCY JACKSON
Yes! December 20th here we come!
As long as they let Riordan have his creative and the dialogue isn't bad (which is sadly a big if) input I don't see this show going downhill. The actors are all super talented and I can't wait to watch this with my friends. Also, might I add that the use of a dark-sounding Riptide by Vance Joy was a friggin brilliant easter egg for fans of the books! Very excited!!!!
Rick Riordan is writing the scripts! So it has to be good!
He had the say on the cast for Percy and the others. He has more creative control also
Well we know they at least let him have his freedom!
How do you know that a bunch of no name actors are "super talented"? This looks like it will have no audience by the end of episode 4.
@@Gumblethebear either you're joking, or you really don't pay attention to movies and TV at all.
I definitely think this is better as a series than a movie; it's hard to get all the details you want from the book to fit into 2 hours
ALso the movie was terrible, it was so sad to watch it happen
I mean true, but the length wasn't really the biggest problem with the movie. Removing the main villain and some of the most iconic scenes was much worse, and made the plot rather more generic.
@Percy-nr9hzHonestly I myself imagined Chiron to be somewhat brown always but Annabeth and Zeus' details I remember like the back of my hand, and black skin tone just doesn't fit. Grover however could have used a darker tone. It's not about racism, it's about characters being true to the book. I look at the girl and think that they couldn't have chosen a more different Annabeth.
@@HSingingTreewhat movie? There was Peter Johnson and the Olymians. But that wasn't a Percy Jackson movie
@Percy-nr9hz But whats wrong with that honsetly, if they're good at acting the roles thats what matters.
The fact that Ares is actually a part of this show makes it 1000 times better than the movies. The cast look phenomenal, and I am so excited for this show!!!!!
blackwash agenda. otherwise it looks sick.
Yeah, I didn't hate the movie, but not having Ares was such a huge mistake. It made the plot so much more generic, while also ruining the setup for the rest of the series.
And he is the most bombastic god,instead of making the gods like the rocks they're carved from.@@TheMoonRover

@@juanitamorgan5475 I bought his Percyness so quick as soon as I saw how he reacted to Grover's legs and hooves!
No matter how different an actor looks, if their skin or hair color is different, it will always be way better than casting an actor who is 10 years older than their role.
And the book would work just as well if the characters’ physical descriptions were changed to the new actors’ appearance. Message, topics, dialogue, humor, character traits, relationships, vibe and character dynamics would still be the same, and that is what’s most important about an adaptation.
Thank you for saying this and supporting the show
Yeah but they could have dyed her hair... I mean... it was one of the biggest complaints from fans about the movies.
@@alexnoyle oh man, yeah. Not to mention, just about all of the Athena kids at camp had blonde hair and grey eyes. If they change that, I actually would be happier, because I was not thrilled about that in the books, not gonna lie.
But, if everyone is alright with this change but not the dark hair in the movies, sounds rather hypocritical to me. The changes are alright in one adaptation but not the other? We haven't come that far as a fandom.
@@RoseBaggins For me the reason it would work better in this adaptation is that the way Annabeth was stereotyped as a dumb valley girl also applies to how black women are often perceived. The movie just used a white woman with black hair, with no thematic parallels, to me thats worse. But in either case I would prefer they stick to the book.
@RoseBaggins I'll admit I cared about her hair colour in the movies, but I don't now. I don't see this as hypocritical, but instead as maturing. I was 10 when the movie came out, but I'm 23 now. My opinions have changed in the past 13 years
This was really one of the best book collections I have ever read in my childhood, truly incredible. I hope they will also do the other series from the same universe, like Heroes of Olympia

I'm really looking forward to this series.
It's been that long? I've been reading before the first Olympians books came out in middle school. I'm old lol.
Same. I have probably reread them around 7 times by now.
I've had a copy of The Lightning Thief since 2005, though I didn't get into the series until I saw the movies in 2013. This looks like it'll be a better adaptation than the movies though. And of course there's a brand new Percy Jackson book out tomorrow.

The gods are gods, if you had read the books you'd know the gods can choose any form they prefer. They're not exactly one thing, and they are influenced by the current society they are set in, which is the US. Aphrodite is the biggest example, in the books her form changes every second bc she's the embodiment of beauty and beauty standards are very personal and subjective. And if you're not looking for diversity, PJO is definitely not for you. Maybe consume something else :)
@@heyitsmira17 Anabelle is the name (one of) Mr D calls Annabeth.
@@lucasbelmonte2832 Oh my god bro, you're one of those. Just shhhhhh, you wah wah wahhing all over the place.
@@EtanoS24it's clearly not what this person means they genuinely don't know or care since they're not even aware that PJO gods don't look like they're greek at all lol
That moment when a 90 second teaser was more accurate to the original than an entire 2 movies
Ain’t that the truth
except the cast
@@loremaster77 tell that to Rick who was in charge of casting for the show
@@loremaster77 the casting is perfect I don't know what you're talking about
they are actual kids with really good acting skills to get the job and impress the author of the books. Looks aren't everything @bigsocks999
this looks really amazing honestly, i seriously hope that this show does so well and teaches a new generation
HAHAHAHA good joke mate.
Why is it a joke if he thinks it looks amazing that's his opinion.
@@G30RG3KA hahhaha less funny than the fact that you go into a trailer for something you clearly won't watch just to try and devalue the opinion of people who are actually excited, and for good reason hahaha
New generation? The books are from our generation, they are a mix of the last one and this one
@@AMillionToOne123that’s what I’m saying because why would you bother coming here and saying the show is bad and that anyone who likes it is stupid it’s just pathetic
Everyone was great in the first two episodes
Aryan & Walker's chemistry is insanely good & I'm in love with both Dior & that dude who plays Luke 😭
The pilot was incredible,prolly the best book to TV adaption ever
Virginia’s interactions with Walker legit made me tear up
I discovered these books in middle school like most kids. I burned through the first 3 that were in my school library in less than a year, bought book 4, then book 5 when it finally came out the summer before my 8th grade. I got my parents to extend my grounding by 2 weeks AND offered to pay myself to go see the first movie when it came out after I had gotten myself in trouble (was not worth it). Then I read the series to my little sister as a bed time story through most of high school. I was so impressed she could read the word centaur at age 7. My only regret is that I haven't caught up with Heroes of Olympus or Trials of Apollo.
Percy and his friends at Camp Half Blood are like family to me. Visiting their world was an escape from a lonely childhood. And Percy himself was always my hero. Not because he was strong or powerful, and not because he lived in a world of wonder I wish I could be a part of, but because he always felt like a screw up, even in spite of all the things he did right. But no matter who talked down to him or how many mistakes he made, he got back up and did his best to fix things. And he found friends, family, and happiness even as the universe itself seemed determined to keep him and his loved ones away from it out of pure spite. I'll be thrilled to see the trio's adventures again, and I hope to tell my kids of true heroes that fought to make the world a better place, even in the face of gods and monsters.
Omg same I was so lonely during my tween/teenage years. These characters felt like friends to me, I used to admire them, and I wanted to be their friends. It provided me with a lot of comfort during those years, and Camp Half Blood is still in my heart after all these years.
It looks practically perfect? You can tell a lot of heart went into this show
Y’all ready for Percy Jackson to get the show it deserves?!
I hope that it does. There are still 4 books to go and Disney has cancelled good shows before.
@@ivoryphoenix7and again 5 more after that.
I am but this show wont be it.
@@jigdreldorji7806I really hope they don’t let this flop and let it get all the way to the next series. At the bare minimum we need the first series though I need to see NICO
@@huffnboofert I can’t wait for zoe
Lo chiquito que se ve Percy a lado de Quiron 😭💗
The fact that they used riptide for the trailer song makes this 100% better! knowing they are somewhat connected to there audience gives me a little hope for this show.
I really hope they keep making the series for heroes of Olympus cause I want to see more of Nico and also my boy Leo.
Hopefully we could see Nico in the titans curse! Or even in the Lotus Hotel!
*reyna*
MY BOY LEOO
lets start by making it past the first couple of books
@@puppies3330oh fuck 😭
I am rooting for this show to work long term so much. It already looks really good.
This is honestly the 25th time or so that I'm watching the teaser and it still gives me goosebumps, especially the end fading out with riptide...
Percy Jackson is my favorite childhood series. I’m in tears over how good this looks . Complete emotional nostalgia high. Can’t wait
I AM 23 YEARS OLD AND I ACTUALLY BURST INTO TEARS AT THIS
That’s just sad
Why y'all crying it ain't that big of a deal!!!!
@@letsbereal9850we've been waiting our whole lives for this.we grew up reading the books seeing the failure that was the movies and seeing percy grow with us.why is it sad that we are happy?
@@janettehohl8670 I know right
28 and right along with you😅😢
I cannot wait for this. The trailer looks so good. Adam Copeland as Ares was such an amazing casting choice. And the music for this trailer really does fit so well.
You think you know him?
Riptide is now my official pick for the theme song of Percy Jackson
@@patrickdornoff2735 XD Ah that was some good entrance music for him.
right off the bat his voice is already EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED IT WHEN I READ THE BOOKS 🧎♀️🧎♀️
I imagined it differently but I think his voice works
im glad Lance Reddick finished his scenes here. dudes a legend, rest in peace
These books were my childhood. There was a stretch from The Mark of Athena to The Blood of Olympus where each book came out right around my birthday and I would get the new book and just devour it. To see an adaptation that looks so faithful and has Rick's blessing warms my heart and I cannot wait for this show!
That is so cool that the books came out around your birthday! They would make for great birthday gifts, I’m sure!
Yet Disney failed to perfectly recreate it by casting black Annabeth. The books clearly described her as having blond hair.
@@말랑말랑멍몽이fairly sure Riordan had a say in a lot of the stuff in the series
@@말랑말랑멍몽이 it's just hair bro. She looks like an awesome Annabeth to me.
@@말랑말랑멍몽이 rick chose the cast lmao
I started Percy Jackson in 3rd grade, throughout covid, it was such a relief reading this series, and seeing it all come to life is so amazing, I also love them playing Riptide by Vance Joy in the background
As someone who got into it when I was older, and is now MUCH older, I'm so SO happy to see young fans enjoying the books and getting to grow up with them! I wish Percy Jackson was more popular sooner like it deserves, but now it will have it's rightful place because of this show, finally!! I'm going to try getting my younger siblings and cousins into it too haha!
time*
yeah i randomly saw the hosue of hades in my school library in second grade read that and then found out about all hte other books I kinda read some out of order without knowing but it was an amazing experience of finally liking to read books as a kid
also yeah the song fits it well
There are percy jackson movies out right now. There are actually two that are really good, and for the most part, exactly like this show.
I must congratulate whoever edited the trailers for this show for being a master trailer editor. Despite the fact that the two lead characters don't match the book's descriptions, the editing, music, cinematography, and pretty much everything else gives me chills watching the trailers. I don't know how many times I've watched them at this point.
The actors, especially the main cast, have my whole heart. I just hope the story feels the same way as it does in the books.
Hey look! I found a bot, repeating the same line with different user names. Damn Disney, getting sloppy.
@@Gumblethebear?
@@Gumblethebear the hell are you on about mate?
@@LunrFoxdifferent accounts are commenting this same line so it looks like they're bots idk
@@LunrFox This same line is repeated by over 8 accounts that I've seen, copy/paste, on videos about this show.
They are bot accounts, paid for by Disney to prop up its videos.
I began to read Percy Jackson in 3rd grade when I found the book in a local library. And this may be a little dramatic, but it changed my life. Greek Mythology was such a ginormous part of my life up until now, and this series has grown close to my heart. When I heard this series was coming out, I was very excited, and I hope that this series doesn’t such.
The movies were pure trash, nothing more.
To me, there was this nerdy girl back in junior high that introduced me to the books because I showed her my LOTR books
I watched the movies with my friend at the time but I just felt like it felt off and after reading the books, I realized that the movies were pure garbage. I really owed that girl a lot for showing me the real way to enjoy the series
Edit: before you ask, no. The girl is not my gf. She's my teacher's daughter and I had a gf back then
I could say the same. I was obsessed! I have been looking forward for them to remake and hopefully do the whole books since I was in highschool.
Don’t expect much from the show if you thought the movies were bad
@@ijustbevibin0425why Riordan himself is overseeing the entire project this time. He wasnt involved in the movies.
I still vividly remember reading the books when I was in elementary and buying the sequel series from the book fair as they released 😂 I’m 20 now and couldn’t be any happier that this is coming out
I cannot express how excited i am
Especially for capture the flag
I’m excited for that the St. Louis arch scene and the battle with ares
@@ToyStoryboy2009 Yes samee
0:46 Grover has officially won me over. This is looking very faithful to the book series and that’s adding to my hype 😊
I KNOW! He’s doing so well with his role!
I'm jumping out of my seat right now pointing at all the adaptations I recognise from the books because they've finally been done justice! Ares finally getting the spotlight he deserves, the chimera battle, the waterpark set up omg it's all there and I'm so happy!
i'm so speechless right now OMGGG
this series is what made me want to be a writer. my thesis was a novel heavily inspired by percy and his world. and to think that it's finally going to get an adaptation that's true to the books-- I'M SOBBING. everyone who knows me knows how much percy jackson means to me and everyone who knows me knows just how insufferable i will be once this show is released. i just can't believe it's almost here. i'm word vomiting right now but i don't care, i waited a decade for this. this is a dream come true.
How many times have you watched this?
Me: yes.
I can relate to this
This series was there for me when I needed it most. It continued to be as the time went on, even when I realized I outgrew the writing style.
Now to see it as a tv show, that is clearly being made with a lot of effort and passion… damn my heart😭
WE WILL BE THERE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I read the entire Percy Jackson series when I was younger and now rereading it again because of how good it is. Seeing the show coming out makes me ecstatic of what it is in store, although I am hoping it doesn't turn out like the movie adaptations. I have hopes for you Disney!!!
What movies? Those don't exist, they were just the mist
Just from the trailer, they def already screwed it up lol.
I'm going to continue rewatching this trailer until it reaches a million views maybe even a billion!! Percy Jackson fans including myself have waited too long for a faithful adaptation and I want to do my part as a massive fan to make sure this show does well!!! I can't even begin to describe my hype for this show!! December please come quickly!! 🙏😩😍
No balls 😂
Saw u in movieflames comments (also its at 1.6 million)
p e r f e c t
I’ve watched this so many times it’s insane
I’ve watched it daily since it came out
ive changed and grown so much since i first read percy jackson, but watching this trailer made me feel like no time has passed. beyond excited for this show. my childhood before my eyes
I can't comprehend it. It is just so good, it looks good, the soundtrack the actors. I am so excited for it to finally come out
Man, I love that this looks as dramatic as I remember reading these books as a 12 year old felt. The actors all seem great from this brief snippet-Percy doesn't quite have the sardonic edge I always imagined him with but he still seems really good! And loving everyone else. Now it just has to land the humor!
Yeah, I love the song choice and the set design, but Percy seems too calm/mature. Especially in the first book he was very self-conscious, anxious, and had a lot of struggles. I hope they don’t sweep that under the rug too quickly and easily
Obviously we can't tell from such a small snippet, but going off of his role in The Adam Project and interviews, Walker is going to nail the sarcastic nature of Percy
@@Music365-t4v I think we can see a tiny bit of that self consciousness during the museum work scenes. I think they're trying to save a lot of the more emotional dynamics for a first watch, like how we haven't seen any sneak peeks of him at home with Gabe. I'm anticipating how they portray everything !
@@Music365-t4v did'nt think i'd say this but the movies Percy was absolutely great an in character even though the movies were terrible X")
@@wateringcan5369O M G you are so right! I forgot about that monster himself! 😂I can’t wait to see the conflict as sad as it is
The song for this was so perfect riptide just like his sword is called😭👏🏾
Choosing the “Riptide” song for this teaser after Percy’s sword’s name “Riptide” was genius. Can’t wait for this!
What version of the song is it ? It’s amazing
