Clarisse is a daughter of Ares god of war. The gods very rarely would give gifts to their children so that spear was probably the only thing she owned that was part of her father
That makes so much sense!! I thought it had to be special to her. That’s actually so sad that Percy accidentally broke it! I hope they can maybe fix it? Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤍
Fun fact Dior's scream actually scared Walker in real life, he really thought she was going to hurt him. When you go back and watch the scene you can see real fear in his eyes when she screamed and grabbed him.
Woahhhh for real?? That’s crazy but I would also 100% be scared if someone screamed like that at me 🤣 It was sooo powerful!!! Thanks so much for watching! 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns In a few interviews Walker mentioned. I would tell you which ones but some of the videos contains spoilers.Your welcome enjoyed your reaction.
Man that scream made the episode for me. The sheer rage and pain?? She is definitely not playing this as some one-dimensional bully and I cannot wait to see more of her in this role
@@salamandertoast You should see one of Dior's interview. She studied Clarisse so well and knows her stuff. I can't wait to see her in Sea of Monsters.
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns yeah the scream was improvised by Dior and you can see the other actor behind her suddenly turn around in surprise, none of them expected that but it's so perfect for Clarisse.
Luke does indeed know what Percy's going through. He definitely has some family issues, but he did lose someone important to him on that same exact hill, you'll find out about it in I think the next episode
Oh wow that’s so sad!! The way Luke said “believe me” definitely made me think he has a sad past. I hope I find out soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns oh you will. It becomes very relevant to the plot later. And they do bring it up in the next episode. All I'll say, is that single pine tree on the hill has to do with it. And if you choose to read the books at some point, you'll see what I mean about it having relevance later
Walker is KILLING IT in this role. That look of resigned determination when he says "When do we leave?" ?!?!? INCREDIBLE. His ability to emote has me getting choked up every episode.
OMG seriously!!! I’m blown away by the acting in this show and for them to be kids so young is so amazing! Walker especially, you can see everything he’s thinking as Percy. It’s so cool! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I don't know if someone else already commented this or not, but Aryan (the actor who plays Grover) learned/trained himself to walk on the balls of his feet and did it for 10 months while they filmed and would even walk that way off set. He said Walker and Leah had to keep reminding him he didn't need to walk funny when they weren't filming and that it was hard for him to adjust to walking normally again when they wrapped filming lol
Walking on the balls of our feet is actually the most natural way we can walk. Babies begin that way. Shoes and cultural expectations teach us as kids to walk on our heels. I used to tiptoe till I hit high school (that’s a really long time compared to normal people). Squeaky shoes sounded even squeakier on me. 😅
Wow seriously?? That’s so interesting that he had to learn and train and everything! It looks so great on the show. Lol I love that Walker and Leah would remind him he didn’t need to keep doing it 😂 I’ve seen some interviews of the three of them and LOVE their trio! I love fun facts like this. Thanks so much for watching and letting me know!! 🤍
@@mrs.manrique7411walking on the balls of your feet can actually affect the way your foot grows. There are very specific shoes these days that can help if a child does 24/7 walk on the balls of their feet... It's very common for autistic children to do this and so I really only seen autistic children have these types of shoes online... It's like a shoe but also a brace so that they don't walk that way... So no, I wouldn't say that it's "the most natural way to walk" as it can fuck your feet and tendons and muscles up pretty significantly. But yeah you are right a lot of kids do START walking this way but they do eventually grow out of it before it can become an issue.
In the book Mr. D doesn't even want to deal with having a forbidden child in camp and literally threatens Percy to leave for the quest or be turned into a dolphin and sent to his father. Because he didn't want to deal with the surge of monsters that would appear close to camp because of Percy's existence there being claimed. Dionysus in mythos created dolphins. So he could do that. He even states that the second option is the more merciful option. Because he thinks if Percy went on the quest he won't come back alive.
Wowwww I really don’t like Mr. D!!! Is it really so hard to have empathy for Percy, a traumatized kid?! Ugh I hate how mean Mr. D is to him and I get the feeling he’s like that with all the kids. I’m just glad Percy has Grover to be nice to him and be his friend!
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesignsyeah, Mr D's kind of an asshole in the books... But I guess if I was the GOD of wine and partying and I was punished for an indeterminate amount of time to not be able to touch alcohol and forced to hang around kids... I would kind of be cranky too. But he is also a pretty funny character which they have managed to capture in the show as well... Very good casting IMO. But yeah ...he's a dick. 🤣
HAHAHA I love that he said that 😂 I’m avoiding behind-the-scenes videos to avoid spoilers but thanks for letting me know this fun fact!! That’s so interesting and I can’t wait to watch the bts vids!
Also the reason Annabeth pushes Percy into the water, is because she had a theory he was the son of either Zeus or Poseidon. Being a daughter of Athena the goddess of Wisdom she is all about figuring stuff out and making strategies and theories. Putting him in the water was a quick way to see if he would have water powers giving her an answer. Because in the bathroom scene with Clarisse she wasn't completely sure yet. And as you can see the water healed him. Now that he is claimed he will uncover more about himself as a son of the sea god.
I LOVE Annabeth and how brilliant she is!!! It is such cool representation to have her figure everything out before it’s revealed and for her to be the powerful, fierce, smart leader. The details of how she figured out Percy is son of Poseidon is amazing. I can’t wait to see more from her! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 😊
Mr. D might not be the kindest man, but there’s one throwaway line in later books outside of the main series that tells readers that he is objectively the best godly parent. Most readers miss it because it’s only one line, if I remember correctly, but it makes me laugh whenever people try to start discussions on what it would feel like to be a Dionysus kid in camp. His twin boys actually grew up very loved by both parents lol…
Your question about Clarisse's initiation of Percy is interesting cause the answer varies from book to show. In the book, she's very transparent about the fact that she does this to all the newbies. Annabeth, who is showing Percy around camp (in the daytime) when she drags him off to the bathroom, pulls and kicks at her to try to slow her down, but Clarisse is too strong. In the show, Clarisse seems to be intimidated by Percy's run-in with the Minotaur and is insecure about the glory it'll bring him (a concept that wasn't as big a deal in the books). She does have that line about how "every kid comes here and thinks they're special," so I assume she's given other newbies special treatment before, but it seems to be more on an individual basis, depending on how threatened she feels by them. At least that's my interpretation!
That’s so interesting!!! I hate that the camp allows her to mistreat new kids like that. And I hate that she’s a real bully but from what I’ve heard hopefully she’ll get a little better. I love her actress and would love to see Clarisse and Percy team up some time! Thanks so much for letting me know!!
One of my favorite things about her is that shes an antagonist currently in the story, but shes not a villain. If a monster had shown up, she and Percy would have teamed up to kick its ass in a heartbeat because they are both heroes. Like shes a schoolyard bully, but they are ultimately on the same side and the idea of them fighting together is very cool
Chiron isn't actually CGI in centaur form, he rode a real horse and then they edited out the horse head and shifted his torso over. And yes, Aryan, Grover's actor, had to learn how to walk like a goat in the show, he talks about it in a bunch of interviews. Also, Annabeth adjusting his armor strap was also improv. People not being excited about Percy being a forbidden child is because there are bad things that comes with that. Percy exists because his dad broke a sacred oath to not have more demigod children, and in the books this means Percy tends to attract more monsters and more dangerous monsters, as if the fates are trying to punish his dad through him since they can't kill an immortal god. And in regards to Clarisse, the spear was a gift from her Dad. I won't say much, but if they greenlight a second season you'll be seeing a lot more of her :)
Wait seriously? That’s so creative bc Chiron looked so real! I can’t wait to watch all the interviews after season 1. I LOVED Annabeth fixing Percy’s armor so the fact that she improvised that is brilliant. I can’t wait to see more of Clarisse! I love learning about these fun facts 🤩 Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
HAHA OMG I love all of this!!! “I’m a little confused but I’ve got the spirit” is officially my new catchphrase 🤣 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤩
Persassy was a big theme in the books, and I am glad that it translated into the series. Also, A Very Potter Musical is my life, and I rewatch it every couple of months because it is just one of the most amazing creations ever.
Hahaha I love “Persassy” so much 🤣 It’s one of my favorite things about his character. And OMG ME TOO!!!! I love AVPM so freakin much. It makes me so happy and I watch it all the time. At this point I think I know the lines better than the actual Harry Potter movies lol 🤩
5:52 They're already posting small snippets of behind the scenes per episode but I think they said they're going to release a sort of like documentary of the whole filming process after the finale, around the end of January. Can't wait for it! 9:46 I love that you're already seeing this reoccuring theme throughout the whole series early. Percy questioning the system. The writers really planted seeds of things that will be brought up in future seasons. This will be a big part of Percy's motivations and how he will choose to act on it is one of his heroe's journey. 12:18 It's because Apollo kids are naturally gifted in archery so they already know he's not Apollo's just from one try.
Oh that’s so cool!!! I’m avoiding behind the scenes videos bc of spoilers but I can’t wait to watch them after season 1! I love Percy questioning the system and not just being a robot who does what everyone tells him to do. It’s so powerful for him to think for himself!! HAHA that’s so funny that after one archery shot they’re like, “nope not an Apollo kid” 😂 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! 😊
I'd go for archery. Also to answer your question about age and when you end up at camp. It all depends on when a half-blood is found by monsters and then realizes that the monsters are after them specifically. Realizing you aren't normal is the big beacon for monsters. And camp is the only place you are safe. A satyr will guide you there but there isn't any real say if all demigods make it to camp, most likely not. In the books it's plainly stated that Percy sees kids ranging from as young as 7 to as old as 16. The writer wanted to emphizes that these are children, who are forced into a hero role. By fate and by godly intervention, or sabotage. Also because the greek gods are very fickle and glory obsessed. It's very apparent that being a demi-god isn't ideal. Just like how Percy talks about in the starting scene of episode 1. "If you think you are a half-blood, turn away now. While you can." Unlike being a wizard in Harry's world. You aren't supposed to see half-bloods as lucky. They have a lot to live up to. Some strive to be seen by their godly parents, and some have complicated relationships. But all have no choice but to fight for their lives in some way. For instance, the reason Clarisse yells after the spear is broken by Percy. She does so because that spear was given to her by her father Ares. It's one of the few possessions from him she has. And much like Annabeth she cherishes that. It also explains her need to be the best camper in order to try to get Ares attention. Percy coming in as a new exciting addition, is a threat to her keeping her father's attention in her mind. But yeah you can still hate her for being so mean.
Great explanation on the demigods. They are all alike but they all feel different on their relationships. Hopefully we see more of that in other future characters
OMG I almost said Clarisse gave me major Draco vibes!! I hope that means she does kinda turn good and fight for good in the end and doesn’t always stay a villain. That would be so cool! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊🤍
i’m absolutely loving your reactions to this show!! i’ve been a pjo fan for years and seeing you get introduced to it for the first time is so fun!! i have a feeling you’re really gonna love ep 3, lots of good quotes!
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I’m seriously having SO much fun so far and i can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
18:00 These kids are getting hurt all the time. There is very little, if any, safety nets or procedures. They just get thrown in to the deep end. Also in the books, there are two climbing walls that shake, drop boulders, smash together, and spew lava. They do have magic ways of healing them, and kids rarely die while in camp, but they are constantly getting injured, and that's just normal there.
Remember to comment ALL your thoughts on Percy Jackson episode 2!! 🤩 Percy discovering camp half-blood for the first time and meeting Annabeth, Luke, and Clarisse was sooo exciting! I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction 🥰
Yet again, I love your reactions and I'm excited to see more! I'm not going to spoil character arcs/how to feel about characters cause they are very plot important. I love how Luke and Clarisse are being portrayed in this show, it's very much like how they are in the books. the following is a 10 things i comment on lol. 1. ok they don't really explain Chirons wheelchair in the show but it's one of my things! It's a magical item, think of those tents in HP where it's bigger on the inside! i only watch the movies cause of my sister so i don't really know all that much about it lol. 2. Is grover in a cult, haahah. That's the council of cloven elders, they are like the rulers of the satyrs and in charge of their like quests and stuff. 3.sally being blipped. Spoilers :D 4.the freaky voice, you're not wrong........ idk if they'll explore it, it's been a while since i've read the books but who that is is something more for the later books. 5.Glory = parental recognition. All these kids have mommy and daddy issues! 6. aaah the burning candy scene is one of my fav changes from the book, i love how the changed his relationship with his parents 7. I love the bathroom scene so much, in both the book and the show! 8. there's no real age limit for demigods, although most get there around tweens you can be older or younger. they do get hurt, a lot. but that's part of being a demigod, most don't get a happy ending. 9. I love what they did with capture the flag so much. It's slightly different from the books but gets the vibes right. Clarisse is an amazing character, she has some really cool scenes in the later books. the electric spear was a gift from her father Ares, the god of war. 10. I like how they are adapting Percy's opinions of the gods, in the books a bit more of a fanboy for his dad, at least at the start hahah. i love the I'm Sally Jacksons son line soooo much.
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!!! 🤩 Yeah I still don’t totally get Chiron’s wheelchair but the Harry Potter tent metaphor makes sense! Ohhhh I didn’t know the council was in charge of satyrs and quests. That makes wayyy more sense than him being in a cult 😂 I loved Percy burning the candy for his mom! Capture the flag was so fun. I can’t wait to see more of Clarisse! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Of course we welcome you and everyone in to the fandom. We have been waiting SO long for this that we just love the fact that we can actually share it with you💙
THAT IS SO AMAZING!!! There are so many fandoms where the fans try to gatekeep it from new fans so I love your mindset! I’m so grateful for the welcome and am so excited to be a part of the Percy Jackson fandom 🤩
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns I am so happy you welcome because you absolutely are. I am (compared to how old the books actually are) pretty new to the franchise too. Only started reading them a few years ago and I am telling you it is one of the most welcoming and inclusive fandoms I have ever been a part of. I really hope you like it here... especially because now that you are in... no one is going to let you leave again. muhahaha XD
I love that your first description of Mr D was that he reminded you of Gabe, because in the book that was also Percy's first thought, along with roasting the guy Same thing with you saying Clarisse reminded you of Nancy, that's one of Percy's first thoughts as well. Luke really does give big brother energy. I also definitely think a part of why Percy being a Big 3 kid hits Luke even harder than most people because of his history with the last forbidden child. Your enthusiasm is so infectious, and judging from the things you've said so far, I think you're going to have a lot of fun with the rest of the series. Welcome to the dam fandom! 💙
That makes me so happy!! I love Agents of SHIELD soooo much and that scene is one of my favorite scenes for Fitz and Daisy ever. I reacted to it a couple months ago! Chloe and Iain’s acting was so beautiful. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
The whole point of gaining glory for the children at camp half blood is not so that they can gloat it over each other so much is that it gets their parents attention. Clarisse is so mad that Percy has already defeated monsters because her father gave her that spear and then has never talk to her since.
Another amazing reaction. You are just have the most positive vibes and I love watching your videos! 8:18- Yes, we do meet “the dementor” eventually, although it’s not until Books 4-5/Seasons 4-5 that he really becomes a threat. And he does fight it. It actually turns out that “the dementor” is one of the biggest threats in all of Greek Mythology. And Luke is an *interesting* character. I’ll just leave that there. You’ll see what I mean towards the end of the season, but he’s *interesting* ,so don’t solidify your opinions just yet. Also, going off of your remarks at 24:55, this is a recurring theme, but the gods are *the most dysfunctional family ever* . They *suck* at communicating, especially like *adults* . This will be shown especially when you get to Ep. 5 that just aired yesterday. Also, being claimed by Poseidon is kind of a bad thing because they’re in *tons* more danger than everyone else. Since Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades have their pact to not have kids, the monsters that want to kill most demigods REALLY want them dead.
Awww thank you so much, that means so much to me!!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my videos 😊 Woahhhh I can’t wait for the Percy/dementor battle!!! Yeah I get really bad vibes from the gods and how the whole “family” works. I can’t wait to watch episode 5! Oh I guess Luke’s face when Percy was claimed could’ve just been worry that he’s a forbidden child. This is all so cool! I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 🤍
I really enjoy you visibly falling in love with the Percy Jackson World. It is such an good series! I might like the following series (Heroes of Olympus) even more, so theres much to explore for a new fan! Also i was thinking of that in your first reaction too: TEEN WOLF IS SO GOOD! Stiles is the best, and the scene you referenced just one of many examples of how funny he can be xD
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoyed my reaction!! 🤩 Watching Percy Jackson not knowing anything is so fascinating and I’m loving it so much so far!! And OMG I LOOOVE TEEN WOLF!!! Stiles is the most special part of it to me bc he’s so sweet and funny but I love all the characters! I wanna do more Teen Wolf reactions soon so if you have any episode recommendations let me know!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns Ooooh I didn't know you reacted to Teen Wolf, that's definitely something I am gonna watch soon! Although for me reactions are the most fun when the reactor doesn't know the content already. I know it's a hot take, but my favourite Characters are Parrish and Theo!
Oh man I just watched your first reaction earlier tonight!! Great timing haha Super excited to see your reaction to this episode!! It's fun seeing a non-book reader reacting to the show =} Editing while I watch: I love you just calling Chiron Dumbledore haha And, about what skill I'd pick up on if I were in percy jackson, I've always liked archery and rock climbing!! I'm actually surprisingly good at archery I think - though I'd probably take a bit to get used to using a different kinda bow than what I've used in the past And, rock climbing is really fun!! I'm not like fantastic at it but I enjoy it anyway lol Edit 2: Annabeth joined camp when she was 7, actually!! And you can join camp at any age - it's usually around 11 or 12 but some campers show up earlier and some show up later. Depends on how well they fare in the mortal world and if/when they get scouted by the camp! If that makes sense! Some demigods give off more powerful auras(?) and attract more monsters, while others can escape notice for much longer Edit 3: the little lizard Percy pets during capture the flag is a crested gecko! Not important or anything, but hey one of your questions I can answer lol Edit 4: the gods claiming their child by putting their symbol over their heads is, I think, one of tje more common ways of doing it, yes! Not gonna spoil but that's not the only way demigods get claimed by their parents =} Final edit: this is so fun!! I love seeing all your reactions to things =} super excited to see your reaction to episode 3!!!
I also think the same thing although i have not used a bow much as it was a sport in my boarding school but was removed in a month, but then maybe it will help as the bow they use work completely differently than a recurve bow so maybe it will be better to not know much about the recurve bow
@@arnavkhetan076ah yeah that's fair!! Bummer your school removed it, archery is fun! My school, I took a class that had a marksmanship unit and I scored the highest out of everyone in archery that year =} So I think with a bit of practice on different kinds of bows I could absolutely get pretty good at it!
OMG I’m so glad you enjoyed my reactions! Thank you so much for watching and answering all my questions! Haha Chiron gives major Dumbledore vibes but I’ll remember his name eventually! 😆 Rock climbing would be an AWESOME skill to pick up on! I didn’t even think of that. That would make for such awesome action scenes if it was in a tv show. That’s so cool you actually know archery! I hope to learn someday. That’s so crazy Annabeth was only 7?!?! That makes a lot of sense about what age they get recruited for camp though. The gecko and Percy scene was adorable lol I can’t wait to find out how else gods can claim their kids! That’s gonna be so interesting. Thank you so much for watching!! I’m already editing my episode 3 reaction and can’t wait to upload it 🥰 It was sooo fun to film!!
I am loving your reactions so much! As a Mr.D fan (he is my favourite character in the books), yeah he is an ass 😂 he gets a little better later and is shown multiple times that he actually cares about the campers, so I hope that if the show gets more seasons, they get to show that part of him in more detail. But up to book 3, he is a pos with them, specially with Percy.
OMG thank you so much!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions 🥰 That would be super interesting to see that side of Mr. D! I’d love to see how all their characters grow and change throughout the series. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 🤍
I love her first guesses about the camp. "Do the gods just walk around and say 'hey, kids'? Do they have family dinners here?" Hahaha yeah no. Excellent ideas for improvements though.
Just watched your reaction for the first episode too; I love how enthusiastic you are and how much you're loving it so far, it just keeps getting better! I'll be waiting for the next episodes reactions :) Also, welcome to the family!!
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I’m seriously having SO much fun so far and I can’t wait to upload my other episode reactions so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
I am loving your reactions to this show! I think this series is a fantastic adaptation and I'm glad you're loving it as much as I am! This episode is such a good introduction to a lot of great characters! Annabeth is amazing, of course. When it comes to the other campers like Luke and Clarisse and even Chris (that's Luke's friend), I was worried that their characters might get watered down since they're not part of the ~Main Trio~ and that sometimes happens in book-to-screen adaptations. But they were written and casted SO WELL, they still play an important part and those actors are really putting their hearts into these roles, it really helps bring this world to life! Grover is SUCH a sweetheart and I love that he broke the rules to tell Percy the truth about his mom. Percy found out a little differently in the books but I'm glad they did it this way, it shows what a true friend Grover is 🥰 Also I gotta say, I love Mr. D! Or at least, I love to hate him, like with Clarisse. Like yeah, he's a huge jerk to Percy, but he's so funny about it 😂
Omg thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re loving my reactions!! I’m having SO much fun 🤩 That’s so cool that the side characters like Luke, Clarisse, and Chris are still featured well and portrayed true to the books!! So many times it’s the side characters that make the story flow so well. I’m SO proud Grover followed his gut and told Percy about his mom! He’s the best!! Lol I totally get what you mean about Mr. D! I hate him but he is super hilarious 😂 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction soon! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
I love watching your reactions! I've been a fan for a long time, so it's hard to know how well they explain/foreshadow/set up the world in just the show. Your reactions are priceless!! Also, amazing that you sussed out Annabeth's past before they told you, even though they hold capture the flag games weekly, basically. But she's been there for a long time
Omg thank you so much, I’m so glad!! 🤩 Lol I don’t know why I was thinking they play capture the flag once a year 😂 But I’m glad my theory about Annabeth joining camp younger was true! She’s such an awesome character!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Since you mentioned the Harry Potter Musical, you should check out the Percy Jackson Musical (The lightning thief) after you finished the series. It also covers the events of the first book, but some of the songs give so much insight to their struggels and trauma. Like Percy just trying to be a good son to his mom, but feeling like he constantly fails her. (Sally would never say that or make him feel like that, but he still does) Or Annabeths who wants to go on a quest and get the attention of her mom. Or Grovers trauma after what happend to Thalia that he still feels guilty for... so good
Monsters are basically sort of immortal in a way. That is, when they are killed they go to tartarus (the deepest pits of hell), but they can come back after a few centuries. That's why they evaporate and not actually "die".
There’s actually also a Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief the musical. The music is incredible and the comedy is one point. It’s hilarious. If you want to watch it you could probably find a recording somewhere UA-cam. But you should wait till the end of the season before you look into it because you would get spoiled for some major stuff later on. Also the Agents of Shield line is my favorite line in the show. It really hit different for me and helped me a lot through a pretty difficult time. I actually have your shirt with that quote on it and I wear it like all the time. Great video, and have fun reacting to the rest of the season.
I relaly love your reaction, people have already answer your answer then i can't say much lmao. Also, if you love clarise in this you'll gonna love her more!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! 🤩 And that’s so exciting that Clarisse will be in it more bc I really do love her and find her character sooo interesting! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Omg thank you!! That’s so sweet and I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
The capture the flag fight is a bit different as Percy actually fights all of them standing in the water, not on the beach. The rest is basically the same, he breaks the sword, blue team wins, annabeth notice a cut on his arm fades then tell him to step out of the water where he feels tired. This is where it switches again. A Hellhound get through the boundary and attacks/almost kills Percy. The campers kill the hellhound, and annabeth then tells Percy to get into water. His wounds heal and the trident appears. I’m guessing they thought the Hellhound would be to gory/violent for PG. Also it shows that someone had to summon it inside, monster can only enter with permission.
Aryan (the actor who plays Grover) did have to learn how to walk like a Goat! He had to learn how to do sad goat walk and stuff!! You should watch the interviews when you finish the show
love the harrypotter references to help follow the riordan verse ...smart!! and mr.D aka jason manzoutkas is a comedic powerhouse on red bull. he is too good and playing jerks lol.. and its wild the impact this book has years later like maze runner divergent and hunger games.. unreal and fantastic
OMG thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
There is a reason why Chiron and Mr D didn't want Percy to know his mom was in Hades. Because the master bolt search has a deadline. They need finding the master bolt to be Percy's MAIN priority because he only has a week to do it... And they know that if Percy knew his mother was still alive ...Saving his mother would be his first priority...not the masterbolt. So yeah Grover technically did do the morally right thing as a friend of Percy's ...but he kind of fucked up their "find the master bolt before a week is up so the entire world doesn't end" plan.
It’s sooo practical!!! Lol the amount of times something has been barely out of reach and I’ve wished I could just use the accio spell to make it float towards me is getting excessive 😂
i love these reaction videos so much 😭 ep 2 was SO SO GOOD and it just gets better as you go!! happy watching and i can’t wait to see more of your reactions and theories
Omg thank you so much!! 🤩 I’m seriously having SO much fun so far!! Episode 2 was amazingggg and I’ll be uploading my episode 3 reaction so soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
So, you seem to like fun (non-spoilery) facts, so here goes: Mr. D, or Dionysus, is serving a century long banishment to camp for getting a little too close to a nymph Zeus had declared off limits. As the god of wine, the sobriety is leaving him perpetually grumpy and irritated. Allegedly he is the camp director, but Chiron’s the one actually running things. Demigods being able to circumvent his prohibition and him tricking Percy into thinking he’s his dad to get Percy to fetch wine is show-original, but not out of line, and sets up the plot point that demigods can do things gods can’t (like steal lightning bolts). Luke Castellan’s mom isn’t dead, but she did cross the wrong god and ended up with a fate worse than death. She was cursed, and occasionally has mad fits that understandably freaked the shit out of young Luke, so he ran away at a young age. As far as he’s concerned, Annabeth is the only family he has left, so he sympathizes with Percy losing everyone. Blue food is a running joke between Percy and his mom. It’s his favorite color, and at one point Gabe gets into an argument with her that blue food doesn’t exist. So she went out of her way to get all the blue food she could for percy - blue pancakes, blue cookies, blue birthday cakes, blue candy - everything blue she could. Also, funny you call Sally a queen. Poseidon also called her a queen among mortals - and offered to build her an underwater palace. She declined, because she didn’t want to be given everything in life - she wanted to earn it. But she did ask for a child, and Poseidon broke his oath not to father more children for her (it’s implied it wasn’t a normal pregnancy. Met at summer cabin, short affair, Percy’s birthday in August…) That voice in Percy’s nightmare is described in the book as sounding “like a knife scraping over stone”. I think the show did an excellent job portraying the chilling voice. That dryad (tree nymph) that Grover interacts with is show original. Even I don’t know who it is - possibly his mother (satyrs are male counterparts to nymphs), but confirmed to not be his girlfriend (he has a thing for a particular Juniper). Clarisse La Rue is the daughter of Ares the god of war, who we get to see later on in quite possibly my favorite episode yet. She inherited a lot of his tough attitude, but also has a lot of expectations going for her. Breaking her electric spear - which you correctly guessed was a gift from her dad - made her understandably pissed because Ares does not look kindly on weakness. Later books expand on her insecurities having to constantly prove herself to him and always being derogatorily compared to his sons (Ares is a bit of a sexist jerk like that). Percy being claimed now, by Poseidon, at a time when Zeus suspects Poseidon of having stolen the master bolt is a pretty big deal likely to infuriate Zeus. It’s understandable people are giving him strange looks over this. Your guesses continue to be on point on a lot of things - a credit both to you for being clever and the show for being clear.
Ohhhhh I’m so excited about that!!! I have a feeling it’s the real villain of the story like how Voldemort was in Harry’s head. I can’t wait if they have a fight scene!!! Thanks so much for watching 😊
I think if i would pick up a skill it would be archery as i have done it a little a different bow but yeah, but i think i would also be great at sword fighting although the show didn't show the sword fight area of the camp i have always thought that i will be great at it
That’s so cool that you know archery!! It looks so fun and I hope to learn someday. Sword fighting would be an AWESOME skill to pick up on 🤩 That’d be so badass too! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
percy isnt the only child of poseiden (King trident and Ursula are also his children but that more in the disneyverse than the riordanverse) hes the only one at camp half blood.
“do they have family diners orrr” This was my reaction: oh no their family is crazy you’ll learn soon enough Oh and you’ll learn to have a love-hate relationship with Mr.d
One of the things that I like about this story is how the Arthur Rick Riordan explains how the Greek Gods and stuff are still around today and how it all fits into today's world. Sorry, I'm not going to spoil it for you lol. If you want to find it all out in more detail then you'll have to read the books and stuff. lol
personally I have a theory that he care a lot more then he lets on ( there are a few events in the books that show this in my opinion). Also as far as mythology goes Dionysus was himself a demigod at one point who became a god, and therefor knows far better than any of the other gods just how dangerous their lives are, so I personally feel like he intentionally messes up their names ( which we know is the case as the there’s the occasional times where he does use their proper names) and treats them that way to keep them at a distance so that he won’t be as affected if anything happens to them. 😁
I have a theory about why Mr. D is so dismissive of Percy's mortal parent: Dionysus never knew his own mother, the mortal woman Semele, so he probably considers his fellow gods the only parent that matters to the demigods at camp.
DO NOT GET ATTACHED TO LUKE! (Not to yell at you tho) also fun fact mr. D is the the god of madness too (madness as in insanity!) I’ve just watched this and the first episode that you’ve watched but I already love your content!
Hopefully ppl don’t spoil in the comments but when Luke says we feel for you. All these kids in camp have gone through hell just like Percy. In the books, people don’t tell Percy or others the full truth because it makes things worse. You have to let fate happen. In an interview, Grover said he had to learn how to walk like a goat. Also, being a son of Poseidon he is naturally good with a sword. Plus he is by water making him stronger. Clarice…I won’t get into her much cuz they might talk more about her so I don’t want to spoil. But yes, the spear is a gift from her father. These kids don’t see their godly parent much. They want to be seen by them so any present is special to them. The quest will be explained more. Glad you dislike Mr. D. He’s not really supposed to be liked. He’s at a camp and is the head guy. He’s been punished by Zeus to be there for like 100 years or so. He also can’t drink/party or anything he is a god of. He was caught ummmm “frolicking” with some tree nymph and caught by Zeus. Also, after this season check out the podcast The Newest Olympian. He read the books and breaks down the chapters if you don’t want to read the books. He also currently is uploading interviews with the cast and producers of the show. They might be spoilery tho. Loved your reaction!
OMG of course!!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my reactions. I’ll be uploading my episode 3 reaction so soon and can’t wait to do the other episodes too! Thanks so much for watching 😊
I also think Clarisse is like that because yeah her father is the god of war (Ares) but imagine trying to win a little bit of your father's attention though glory and working hard all those years (yes she got a magic spear as a gift from him but that's it) just to see a younger kid k*lling a minotaur his very first day and reciving all that attention, I would be mad too
fun fact hermes cabin has more unclaimed children than children of hermes which is kinda sad because we've seen just how little effort on the gods part claiming children takes
That’s awful!! That’s basically the gods saying “I’m not proud to be your parent enough to claim you” so that’s sooo annoying. I do love that the hermes house lets unclaimed kids live with them though. I think that’s sweet. 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns I mean the unclaimed children also account for the demigods from the gods that are not the main 12.... There are only 12 cabins 4 the main 12 Olympian gods. But there are other Greek gods that do have children... So like there are some gods that just can't claim their kids bc there no cabin for them, IIRC. So yeah, there's quite a few unclaimed children as a result.
I am a huge fan of the books and I am super excited to see new people experienceing something that's so special to me and so many others for the first time. I will say I'm always surprised when people expect the Gods to be sympathetic with the demigods. That kind of empathy or understanding is expected from other characters, so it makes sense to be wanting that from these characters as well, but I'm always super surprised to find that people expect the same high standard for empathy from the Gods as they do with the other characters. I mean, they're immortal and "all powerful"; so, they don't care about people's feelings, they don't have time to be friendly or empathetic, and they won't claim responsibility for their actions (AKA: their kids) unless it benifits them. It's explained more in depth in the books, but demigods generally deal with their parents being callused because they're Gods and generally deserve respect due to their power over everything. But if they aren't treated like the Gods they are, then they will go out of their way to make their kid's lives more difficult then they already are. For example, in the Odyssey, Odysseus blinded Posiden's son polyphemus, and polyphemus prayed to Poseiden, cursing Odysseus, and so Poseidon made sure that he made Odysseus' journy home to Ithica a thousand times more difficult. That's not the best example for the Gods ignoring their children, but it is a good example of the Gods not tolerating disrespect. It sucks that they kind of suck, but they truly believe they're entitled to anything and deserve only the utmost respect - because they kind if are, and they kind of do - that's also why I think everyone else doesn't bother questioning them because they're scared of making them upset. This is another reason why I and so many people love Percy Jackson so much, because he's not afraid to ask incriminating questions about the Gods, and he's not afraid to challenge the God's authority and go against what is expected of him, to stand up for what he believes in. I don't know if this answered any questions you had, but I wanted to give you my opinion on why the Gods act like that. I am really loving you're first time reactions to the Percy Jackson series, and I love to hear new fan's first impressions and theories about where the story will go. It's super fun and really refreshing to see the excitement and love for this series develop for a new fan! I can't wait to see you're reactions to episodes 3, 4, and 5!
Did you now that in the book, after he breaks clarisse’s weapon, the camp is attacked by a dog from h3ll, and after that he’s claimed. Then everybody start ignoring him cause they think is percy’s fault that the camp is not safe anymore cause they use to say no monsters could enter the camp. Then finally, they offer him a quest. LOOOOOOVEEEEEEE your videos btw!
Wow seriously?! That’s so crazy they left all that out! I would’ve loved to see that but I guess it would’ve taken too long for the show maybe. I do LOVE the scene the way they did it!! And thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!!! 🤩 I’ll be uploading my episode 3 reaction so soon🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns totally agree, like in the book it just seems like they’re just making the chapter longer and in the series it just feels like the begging of everything and of percy and annabeth relation.
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns oiii, eu acabei de descobrir seus vídeos, mas vc é um amor, e parece gostar de tanta coisa que eu tenho interesse, suas reações são ótimas
The age they join the camp depends. i forgot if they said it in the show but in the books, Grover says, "they never get past 6th grade." meaning that he has tried to get a lot of different kids to camp too, and they don't get past the age 12 usually. The kids of the big three (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades) are more likely to attract the monsters while other kids who don't attract them, like Aphrodite's kids, can last much longer alone in the living world. I might be wrong, it's been a while since i read the books. I am already training archery and a while ago i won a teen tournament! this isn't relevant but i js wanted to share it. also, i love how Luke is shown like a big brother figure but he is definitely.... something. We will see further in the show. i hope this helped! i also love your reactions, its perfect
Ohh that’s so interesting, so nearly every kid who comes to the camp is an actual kid younger than 12. Is Percy supposed to be 12? That with the fact that he’s a forbidden child makes sense why he was attracting so much danger before going to camp! That’s SO COOL you won an archery tournament!! I wanna learn so bad and hopefully will someday. It looks so fun! Haha I have my suspicions of Luke but love him right now. Can’t wait to find out more about him though! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Okay, I have so much to say, I want to make huge, essay-like comment but i can't rn. I'll definitely comeback to do it later) Also, I thought, maybe I can write a short introduction to 12 main gods for you? Just so you know little bit more?
I commented a list of mentioned gods so far with short summaries of what they rule over but it appears as though UA-cam might have swallowed it up 😭 If it’s not just an error on my end making my comment invisible and you’d like that list I could retype it though!
Annabeth has been at camp since she was SIX YEARS OLD…. The beads on the camper’s necklaces represent every summer they’ve spent at camp. She, along with most demigods, has had a very rough past.
WOAH WHAT?? That’s crazy, but I love that she’s been such a great fighter since 6 years old!! That’s such a cool detail about the necklace beads! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know!! 😊
HAHAHA is it really?? I seriously know nothing lol but that’s part of why watching Percy Jackson for the first time is so exciting and new!! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesignsyes it’s the hydra! It’s is in the actual mythos. If I remember correctly the more u try to cut off any of its heads, it grows more
Clarisse is a daughter of Ares god of war. The gods very rarely would give gifts to their children so that spear was probably the only thing she owned that was part of her father
That makes so much sense!! I thought it had to be special to her. That’s actually so sad that Percy accidentally broke it! I hope they can maybe fix it? Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns Not a spoiler but they don't fix it, once broken always broken.
@@pinguimalfaro5349 Awww that’s so sad for Clarisse! I totally get why she’d be so upset 🥺
She will get a new one tho 🎉
The way Annabeth just left Percy as bait 💀 I love her
Edit: Also Sally and Percy are THE mother-son duo! I love how much of a mama’s boy he is
Lol seriously and she just watched the whole fight 😂 At least she fixed his cuts with the water, she’s sooo smart for figuring that out!
Fun fact Dior's scream actually scared Walker in real life, he really thought she was going to hurt him. When you go back and watch the scene you can see real fear in his eyes when she screamed and grabbed him.
Woahhhh for real?? That’s crazy but I would also 100% be scared if someone screamed like that at me 🤣 It was sooo powerful!!! Thanks so much for watching! 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns In a few interviews Walker mentioned. I would tell you which ones but some of the videos contains spoilers.Your welcome enjoyed your reaction.
Man that scream made the episode for me. The sheer rage and pain?? She is definitely not playing this as some one-dimensional bully and I cannot wait to see more of her in this role
@@salamandertoast You should see one of Dior's interview. She studied Clarisse so well and knows her stuff. I can't wait to see her in Sea of Monsters.
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns yeah the scream was improvised by Dior and you can see the other actor behind her suddenly turn around in surprise, none of them expected that but it's so perfect for Clarisse.
Fun fact most gods do actually claim their kids by making their symbols appear above them but aphroditi claims hers by giving them magic makeovers
Whaaaat?? Omg that’s so interesting!! I love learning about all these details from the books. Thanks so much for watching and letting me know! 😊
Luke does indeed know what Percy's going through. He definitely has some family issues, but he did lose someone important to him on that same exact hill, you'll find out about it in I think the next episode
Oh wow that’s so sad!! The way Luke said “believe me” definitely made me think he has a sad past. I hope I find out soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns oh you will. It becomes very relevant to the plot later. And they do bring it up in the next episode. All I'll say, is that single pine tree on the hill has to do with it. And if you choose to read the books at some point, you'll see what I mean about it having relevance later
Walker is KILLING IT in this role. That look of resigned determination when he says "When do we leave?" ?!?!? INCREDIBLE. His ability to emote has me getting choked up every episode.
OMG seriously!!! I’m blown away by the acting in this show and for them to be kids so young is so amazing! Walker especially, you can see everything he’s thinking as Percy. It’s so cool! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I don't know if someone else already commented this or not, but Aryan (the actor who plays Grover) learned/trained himself to walk on the balls of his feet and did it for 10 months while they filmed and would even walk that way off set. He said Walker and Leah had to keep reminding him he didn't need to walk funny when they weren't filming and that it was hard for him to adjust to walking normally again when they wrapped filming lol
Walking on the balls of our feet is actually the most natural way we can walk. Babies begin that way. Shoes and cultural expectations teach us as kids to walk on our heels.
I used to tiptoe till I hit high school (that’s a really long time compared to normal people). Squeaky shoes sounded even squeakier on me. 😅
Wow seriously?? That’s so interesting that he had to learn and train and everything! It looks so great on the show. Lol I love that Walker and Leah would remind him he didn’t need to keep doing it 😂 I’ve seen some interviews of the three of them and LOVE their trio! I love fun facts like this. Thanks so much for watching and letting me know!! 🤍
@@mrs.manrique7411walking on the balls of your feet can actually affect the way your foot grows. There are very specific shoes these days that can help if a child does 24/7 walk on the balls of their feet... It's very common for autistic children to do this and so I really only seen autistic children have these types of shoes online... It's like a shoe but also a brace so that they don't walk that way... So no, I wouldn't say that it's "the most natural way to walk" as it can fuck your feet and tendons and muscles up pretty significantly. But yeah you are right a lot of kids do START walking this way but they do eventually grow out of it before it can become an issue.
In the book Mr. D doesn't even want to deal with having a forbidden child in camp and literally threatens Percy to leave for the quest or be turned into a dolphin and sent to his father. Because he didn't want to deal with the surge of monsters that would appear close to camp because of Percy's existence there being claimed. Dionysus in mythos created dolphins. So he could do that. He even states that the second option is the more merciful option. Because he thinks if Percy went on the quest he won't come back alive.
Wowwww I really don’t like Mr. D!!! Is it really so hard to have empathy for Percy, a traumatized kid?! Ugh I hate how mean Mr. D is to him and I get the feeling he’s like that with all the kids. I’m just glad Percy has Grover to be nice to him and be his friend!
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesignsyeah, Mr D's kind of an asshole in the books... But I guess if I was the GOD of wine and partying and I was punished for an indeterminate amount of time to not be able to touch alcohol and forced to hang around kids... I would kind of be cranky too. But he is also a pretty funny character which they have managed to capture in the show as well... Very good casting IMO. But yeah
...he's a dick. 🤣
"Did he have to walk weird while they were filming this?" Yes, and now he has calves of steel (his words, not mine).
HAHAHA I love that he said that 😂 I’m avoiding behind-the-scenes videos to avoid spoilers but thanks for letting me know this fun fact!! That’s so interesting and I can’t wait to watch the bts vids!
Also the reason Annabeth pushes Percy into the water, is because she had a theory he was the son of either Zeus or Poseidon. Being a daughter of Athena the goddess of Wisdom she is all about figuring stuff out and making strategies and theories. Putting him in the water was a quick way to see if he would have water powers giving her an answer. Because in the bathroom scene with Clarisse she wasn't completely sure yet. And as you can see the water healed him. Now that he is claimed he will uncover more about himself as a son of the sea god.
I LOVE Annabeth and how brilliant she is!!! It is such cool representation to have her figure everything out before it’s revealed and for her to be the powerful, fierce, smart leader. The details of how she figured out Percy is son of Poseidon is amazing. I can’t wait to see more from her! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 😊
Mr. D might not be the kindest man, but there’s one throwaway line in later books outside of the main series that tells readers that he is objectively the best godly parent. Most readers miss it because it’s only one line, if I remember correctly, but it makes me laugh whenever people try to start discussions on what it would feel like to be a Dionysus kid in camp. His twin boys actually grew up very loved by both parents lol…
Oh wow really?? Okay I love that he’s a good parent!! That’s kinda surprising to me. I do wish that he was nicer to the other kids like Percy though
"Is that how they claim them, they just put their emoji above their head" WAS SO FUNNY COZ I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY 😭
Some background about why Percy is suspected of the theft: the gods can't steal each other's symbol of power; only demigods can.
Ohhh I can see then why they might jump to conclusions about it being taken by a forbidden child. Thanks for letting me know! 😊
Your question about Clarisse's initiation of Percy is interesting cause the answer varies from book to show. In the book, she's very transparent about the fact that she does this to all the newbies. Annabeth, who is showing Percy around camp (in the daytime) when she drags him off to the bathroom, pulls and kicks at her to try to slow her down, but Clarisse is too strong. In the show, Clarisse seems to be intimidated by Percy's run-in with the Minotaur and is insecure about the glory it'll bring him (a concept that wasn't as big a deal in the books). She does have that line about how "every kid comes here and thinks they're special," so I assume she's given other newbies special treatment before, but it seems to be more on an individual basis, depending on how threatened she feels by them. At least that's my interpretation!
That’s so interesting!!! I hate that the camp allows her to mistreat new kids like that. And I hate that she’s a real bully but from what I’ve heard hopefully she’ll get a little better. I love her actress and would love to see Clarisse and Percy team up some time! Thanks so much for letting me know!!
The you droll in your sleep line so really iconic
HAHA I thought that was so hilarious and random 😂
Clarisse is huge in book 2, season 2 of the show is gonna be AWESOME
OMG really?! I LOVE her so far and her actress is incredible. Season 2 is gonna be so fun to react to!!!! 🤩
One of my favorite things about her is that shes an antagonist currently in the story, but shes not a villain. If a monster had shown up, she and Percy would have teamed up to kick its ass in a heartbeat because they are both heroes. Like shes a schoolyard bully, but they are ultimately on the same side and the idea of them fighting together is very cool
Chiron isn't actually CGI in centaur form, he rode a real horse and then they edited out the horse head and shifted his torso over. And yes, Aryan, Grover's actor, had to learn how to walk like a goat in the show, he talks about it in a bunch of interviews. Also, Annabeth adjusting his armor strap was also improv. People not being excited about Percy being a forbidden child is because there are bad things that comes with that. Percy exists because his dad broke a sacred oath to not have more demigod children, and in the books this means Percy tends to attract more monsters and more dangerous monsters, as if the fates are trying to punish his dad through him since they can't kill an immortal god.
And in regards to Clarisse, the spear was a gift from her Dad. I won't say much, but if they greenlight a second season you'll be seeing a lot more of her :)
Wait seriously? That’s so creative bc Chiron looked so real! I can’t wait to watch all the interviews after season 1. I LOVED Annabeth fixing Percy’s armor so the fact that she improvised that is brilliant. I can’t wait to see more of Clarisse! I love learning about these fun facts 🤩 Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
AYYY SO EXCITED FOR THIS PART TWO
HAHA OMG I love all of this!!! “I’m a little confused but I’ve got the spirit” is officially my new catchphrase 🤣 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤩
Persassy was a big theme in the books, and I am glad that it translated into the series. Also, A Very Potter Musical is my life, and I rewatch it every couple of months because it is just one of the most amazing creations ever.
Hahaha I love “Persassy” so much 🤣 It’s one of my favorite things about his character. And OMG ME TOO!!!! I love AVPM so freakin much. It makes me so happy and I watch it all the time. At this point I think I know the lines better than the actual Harry Potter movies lol 🤩
one of the requirments during casting for percy was he had to be funny and sassy and im so happy they did its awsome
9:48 that’s actually a very big part of the books. Percy is constantly calling out the Gods for how they treat their children
5:52 They're already posting small snippets of behind the scenes per episode but I think they said they're going to release a sort of like documentary of the whole filming process after the finale, around the end of January. Can't wait for it!
9:46 I love that you're already seeing this reoccuring theme throughout the whole series early. Percy questioning the system. The writers really planted seeds of things that will be brought up in future seasons. This will be a big part of Percy's motivations and how he will choose to act on it is one of his heroe's journey.
12:18 It's because Apollo kids are naturally gifted in archery so they already know he's not Apollo's just from one try.
Oh that’s so cool!!! I’m avoiding behind the scenes videos bc of spoilers but I can’t wait to watch them after season 1!
I love Percy questioning the system and not just being a robot who does what everyone tells him to do. It’s so powerful for him to think for himself!!
HAHA that’s so funny that after one archery shot they’re like, “nope not an Apollo kid” 😂 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! 😊
I'd go for archery.
Also to answer your question about age and when you end up at camp. It all depends on when a half-blood is found by monsters and then realizes that the monsters are after them specifically. Realizing you aren't normal is the big beacon for monsters. And camp is the only place you are safe. A satyr will guide you there but there isn't any real say if all demigods make it to camp, most likely not. In the books it's plainly stated that Percy sees kids ranging from as young as 7 to as old as 16. The writer wanted to emphizes that these are children, who are forced into a hero role. By fate and by godly intervention, or sabotage.
Also because the greek gods are very fickle and glory obsessed. It's very apparent that being a demi-god isn't ideal. Just like how Percy talks about in the starting scene of episode 1. "If you think you are a half-blood, turn away now. While you can."
Unlike being a wizard in Harry's world. You aren't supposed to see half-bloods as lucky. They have a lot to live up to. Some strive to be seen by their godly parents, and some have complicated relationships. But all have no choice but to fight for their lives in some way.
For instance, the reason Clarisse yells after the spear is broken by Percy. She does so because that spear was given to her by her father Ares. It's one of the few possessions from him she has. And much like Annabeth she cherishes that. It also explains her need to be the best camper in order to try to get Ares attention. Percy coming in as a new exciting addition, is a threat to her keeping her father's attention in her mind. But yeah you can still hate her for being so mean.
Great explanation on the demigods. They are all alike but they all feel different on their relationships. Hopefully we see more of that in other future characters
Clarrise is my favourite character in the books. She reminds me a lot of Draco Malfoy (who is also my favourite character from Harry Potter)
OMG I almost said Clarisse gave me major Draco vibes!! I hope that means she does kinda turn good and fight for good in the end and doesn’t always stay a villain. That would be so cool! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesignsClarrise becomes honorable much earlier than Draco did,Her arc is better.
i’m absolutely loving your reactions to this show!! i’ve been a pjo fan for years and seeing you get introduced to it for the first time is so fun!! i have a feeling you’re really gonna love ep 3, lots of good quotes!
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I’m seriously having SO much fun so far and i can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Fun fact
Rick’s kid has adhd and dyslexia so he created this world where having adhd and dyslexia is normal.
I LOVE THAT SOOO MUCH!!! 👏👏👏 We need to normalize those and I love that the Percy Jackson world does that!
18:00 These kids are getting hurt all the time. There is very little, if any, safety nets or procedures. They just get thrown in to the deep end. Also in the books, there are two climbing walls that shake, drop boulders, smash together, and spew lava. They do have magic ways of healing them, and kids rarely die while in camp, but they are constantly getting injured, and that's just normal there.
Remember to comment ALL your thoughts on Percy Jackson episode 2!! 🤩 Percy discovering camp half-blood for the first time and meeting Annabeth, Luke, and Clarisse was sooo exciting! I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction 🥰
16:23. Genuinely love the laugh 🩵🩵 the vibes are amazing. I love how much you enjoyed this.
Hahaha thank you 😆 I seriously LOVE this show so much and the acting is soooo amazing 🤍
Yet again, I love your reactions and I'm excited to see more! I'm not going to spoil character arcs/how to feel about characters cause they are very plot important. I love how Luke and Clarisse are being portrayed in this show, it's very much like how they are in the books. the following is a 10 things i comment on lol.
1. ok they don't really explain Chirons wheelchair in the show but it's one of my things! It's a magical item, think of those tents in HP where it's bigger on the inside! i only watch the movies cause of my sister so i don't really know all that much about it lol.
2. Is grover in a cult, haahah. That's the council of cloven elders, they are like the rulers of the satyrs and in charge of their like quests and stuff.
3.sally being blipped. Spoilers :D
4.the freaky voice, you're not wrong........ idk if they'll explore it, it's been a while since i've read the books but who that is is something more for the later books.
5.Glory = parental recognition. All these kids have mommy and daddy issues!
6. aaah the burning candy scene is one of my fav changes from the book, i love how the changed his relationship with his parents
7. I love the bathroom scene so much, in both the book and the show!
8. there's no real age limit for demigods, although most get there around tweens you can be older or younger. they do get hurt, a lot. but that's part of being a demigod, most don't get a happy ending.
9. I love what they did with capture the flag so much. It's slightly different from the books but gets the vibes right. Clarisse is an amazing character, she has some really cool scenes in the later books. the electric spear was a gift from her father Ares, the god of war.
10. I like how they are adapting Percy's opinions of the gods, in the books a bit more of a fanboy for his dad, at least at the start hahah. i love the I'm Sally Jacksons son line soooo much.
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!!! 🤩 Yeah I still don’t totally get Chiron’s wheelchair but the Harry Potter tent metaphor makes sense! Ohhhh I didn’t know the council was in charge of satyrs and quests. That makes wayyy more sense than him being in a cult 😂 I loved Percy burning the candy for his mom! Capture the flag was so fun. I can’t wait to see more of Clarisse! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Of course we welcome you and everyone in to the fandom. We have been waiting SO long for this that we just love the fact that we can actually share it with you💙
THAT IS SO AMAZING!!! There are so many fandoms where the fans try to gatekeep it from new fans so I love your mindset! I’m so grateful for the welcome and am so excited to be a part of the Percy Jackson fandom 🤩
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns
I am so happy you welcome because you absolutely are. I am (compared to how old the books actually are) pretty new to the franchise too. Only started reading them a few years ago and I am telling you it is one of the most welcoming and inclusive fandoms I have ever been a part of. I really hope you like it here... especially because now that you are in... no one is going to let you leave again. muhahaha XD
You should TOTALLY do the who's your godly parent quiz
OMG didn’t know that existed!! 😂 On my way to do it right now 🤩
I took one and got Hephaestus.
@@calebray1834 Hephaestus is awesome honestly. I took one for the first time in ages yesterday and got Athena
Hahaha I loveee Mr. D hahaha the actor is killing it
The totally careless but godly presence he has amazes me
I really love your reactions! Im really looking forward for the next episodes.
Clarisse is so good! That scream! She said she felt ok
That’s so kind of you!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. And YES I love Clarrise! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🤩
I love that your first description of Mr D was that he reminded you of Gabe, because in the book that was also Percy's first thought, along with roasting the guy
Same thing with you saying Clarisse reminded you of Nancy, that's one of Percy's first thoughts as well.
Luke really does give big brother energy. I also definitely think a part of why Percy being a Big 3 kid hits Luke even harder than most people because of his history with the last forbidden child.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious, and judging from the things you've said so far, I think you're going to have a lot of fun with the rest of the series.
Welcome to the dam fandom! 💙
Love an Agents of Shield reference. Iain and Chloe killed that scene
That makes me so happy!! I love Agents of SHIELD soooo much and that scene is one of my favorite scenes for Fitz and Daisy ever. I reacted to it a couple months ago! Chloe and Iain’s acting was so beautiful. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
The Starkid reference 😂 and then a Teen Wolf reference 😂
LOL I LOOOVE those two fandoms so much!! I’ll take any opportunity to bring them up 🤣 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! ❣️
The whole point of gaining glory for the children at camp half blood is not so that they can gloat it over each other so much is that it gets their parents attention. Clarisse is so mad that Percy has already defeated monsters because her father gave her that spear and then has never talk to her since.
Another amazing reaction. You are just have the most positive vibes and I love watching your videos!
8:18- Yes, we do meet “the dementor” eventually, although it’s not until Books 4-5/Seasons 4-5 that he really becomes a threat. And he does fight it. It actually turns out that “the dementor” is one of the biggest threats in all of Greek Mythology.
And Luke is an *interesting* character. I’ll just leave that there. You’ll see what I mean towards the end of the season, but he’s *interesting* ,so don’t solidify your opinions just yet.
Also, going off of your remarks at 24:55, this is a recurring theme, but the gods are *the most dysfunctional family ever* . They *suck* at communicating, especially like *adults* . This will be shown especially when you get to Ep. 5 that just aired yesterday.
Also, being claimed by Poseidon is kind of a bad thing because they’re in *tons* more danger than everyone else. Since Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades have their pact to not have kids, the monsters that want to kill most demigods REALLY want them dead.
Awww thank you so much, that means so much to me!!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my videos 😊
Woahhhh I can’t wait for the Percy/dementor battle!!!
Yeah I get really bad vibes from the gods and how the whole “family” works. I can’t wait to watch episode 5!
Oh I guess Luke’s face when Percy was claimed could’ve just been worry that he’s a forbidden child.
This is all so cool! I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 🤍
This is nice but you kinda gave vague spoilers. 😅 It would be better if you she can discover things for herself.
I really enjoy you visibly falling in love with the Percy Jackson World. It is such an good series! I might like the following series (Heroes of Olympus) even more, so theres much to explore for a new fan!
Also i was thinking of that in your first reaction too: TEEN WOLF IS SO GOOD! Stiles is the best, and the scene you referenced just one of many examples of how funny he can be xD
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoyed my reaction!! 🤩 Watching Percy Jackson not knowing anything is so fascinating and I’m loving it so much so far!! And OMG I LOOOVE TEEN WOLF!!! Stiles is the most special part of it to me bc he’s so sweet and funny but I love all the characters! I wanna do more Teen Wolf reactions soon so if you have any episode recommendations let me know!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns Ooooh I didn't know you reacted to Teen Wolf, that's definitely something I am gonna watch soon! Although for me reactions are the most fun when the reactor doesn't know the content already.
I know it's a hot take, but my favourite Characters are Parrish and Theo!
Oh man I just watched your first reaction earlier tonight!! Great timing haha
Super excited to see your reaction to this episode!! It's fun seeing a non-book reader reacting to the show =}
Editing while I watch: I love you just calling Chiron Dumbledore haha
And, about what skill I'd pick up on if I were in percy jackson, I've always liked archery and rock climbing!!
I'm actually surprisingly good at archery I think - though I'd probably take a bit to get used to using a different kinda bow than what I've used in the past
And, rock climbing is really fun!! I'm not like fantastic at it but I enjoy it anyway lol
Edit 2: Annabeth joined camp when she was 7, actually!!
And you can join camp at any age - it's usually around 11 or 12 but some campers show up earlier and some show up later. Depends on how well they fare in the mortal world and if/when they get scouted by the camp! If that makes sense!
Some demigods give off more powerful auras(?) and attract more monsters, while others can escape notice for much longer
Edit 3: the little lizard Percy pets during capture the flag is a crested gecko! Not important or anything, but hey one of your questions I can answer lol
Edit 4: the gods claiming their child by putting their symbol over their heads is, I think, one of tje more common ways of doing it, yes! Not gonna spoil but that's not the only way demigods get claimed by their parents =}
Final edit: this is so fun!! I love seeing all your reactions to things =} super excited to see your reaction to episode 3!!!
I also think the same thing although i have not used a bow much as it was a sport in my boarding school but was removed in a month, but then maybe it will help as the bow they use work completely differently than a recurve bow so maybe it will be better to not know much about the recurve bow
@@arnavkhetan076ah yeah that's fair!! Bummer your school removed it, archery is fun!
My school, I took a class that had a marksmanship unit and I scored the highest out of everyone in archery that year =}
So I think with a bit of practice on different kinds of bows I could absolutely get pretty good at it!
OMG I’m so glad you enjoyed my reactions! Thank you so much for watching and answering all my questions!
Haha Chiron gives major Dumbledore vibes but I’ll remember his name eventually! 😆
Rock climbing would be an AWESOME skill to pick up on! I didn’t even think of that. That would make for such awesome action scenes if it was in a tv show. That’s so cool you actually know archery! I hope to learn someday.
That’s so crazy Annabeth was only 7?!?! That makes a lot of sense about what age they get recruited for camp though.
The gecko and Percy scene was adorable lol
I can’t wait to find out how else gods can claim their kids! That’s gonna be so interesting.
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m already editing my episode 3 reaction and can’t wait to upload it 🥰 It was sooo fun to film!!
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND SOMEONE WHO IS ALSO AS HYPE ABOUT CLARISSE' ACTRESS. SHE WAS SO GOOD
I am loving your reactions so much!
As a Mr.D fan (he is my favourite character in the books), yeah he is an ass 😂 he gets a little better later and is shown multiple times that he actually cares about the campers, so I hope that if the show gets more seasons, they get to show that part of him in more detail. But up to book 3, he is a pos with them, specially with Percy.
OMG thank you so much!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions 🥰 That would be super interesting to see that side of Mr. D! I’d love to see how all their characters grow and change throughout the series. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 🤍
I love her first guesses about the camp.
"Do the gods just walk around and say 'hey, kids'? Do they have family dinners here?" Hahaha yeah no. Excellent ideas for improvements though.
HAHAHA I had no idea what to expect 😂
Just watched your reaction for the first episode too; I love how enthusiastic you are and how much you're loving it so far, it just keeps getting better! I'll be waiting for the next episodes reactions :) Also, welcome to the family!!
Omg thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I’m seriously having SO much fun so far and I can’t wait to upload my other episode reactions so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
I am loving your reactions to this show! I think this series is a fantastic adaptation and I'm glad you're loving it as much as I am!
This episode is such a good introduction to a lot of great characters! Annabeth is amazing, of course. When it comes to the other campers like Luke and Clarisse and even Chris (that's Luke's friend), I was worried that their characters might get watered down since they're not part of the ~Main Trio~ and that sometimes happens in book-to-screen adaptations. But they were written and casted SO WELL, they still play an important part and those actors are really putting their hearts into these roles, it really helps bring this world to life!
Grover is SUCH a sweetheart and I love that he broke the rules to tell Percy the truth about his mom. Percy found out a little differently in the books but I'm glad they did it this way, it shows what a true friend Grover is 🥰
Also I gotta say, I love Mr. D! Or at least, I love to hate him, like with Clarisse. Like yeah, he's a huge jerk to Percy, but he's so funny about it 😂
Omg thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re loving my reactions!! I’m having SO much fun 🤩 That’s so cool that the side characters like Luke, Clarisse, and Chris are still featured well and portrayed true to the books!! So many times it’s the side characters that make the story flow so well. I’m SO proud Grover followed his gut and told Percy about his mom! He’s the best!! Lol I totally get what you mean about Mr. D! I hate him but he is super hilarious 😂 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction soon! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
I love watching your reactions! I've been a fan for a long time, so it's hard to know how well they explain/foreshadow/set up the world in just the show. Your reactions are priceless!!
Also, amazing that you sussed out Annabeth's past before they told you, even though they hold capture the flag games weekly, basically. But she's been there for a long time
Omg thank you so much, I’m so glad!! 🤩 Lol I don’t know why I was thinking they play capture the flag once a year 😂 But I’m glad my theory about Annabeth joining camp younger was true! She’s such an awesome character!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
Since you mentioned the Harry Potter Musical, you should check out the Percy Jackson Musical (The lightning thief) after you finished the series. It also covers the events of the first book, but some of the songs give so much insight to their struggels and trauma.
Like Percy just trying to be a good son to his mom, but feeling like he constantly fails her. (Sally would never say that or make him feel like that, but he still does)
Or Annabeths who wants to go on a quest and get the attention of her mom.
Or Grovers trauma after what happend to Thalia that he still feels guilty for... so good
Monsters are basically sort of immortal in a way. That is, when they are killed they go to tartarus (the deepest pits of hell), but they can come back after a few centuries. That's why they evaporate and not actually "die".
There’s actually also a Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief the musical. The music is incredible and the comedy is one point. It’s hilarious. If you want to watch it you could probably find a recording somewhere UA-cam. But you should wait till the end of the season before you look into it because you would get spoiled for some major stuff later on.
Also the Agents of Shield line is my favorite line in the show. It really hit different for me and helped me a lot through a pretty difficult time. I actually have your shirt with that quote on it and I wear it like all the time.
Great video, and have fun reacting to the rest of the season.
Also Stiles Stilinski and Percy Jackson are pretty much the same person. You’ll realize that more and more as the series progresses.
Great Reaction! Fun fact: this show was filmed in my hometown of Vancouver, BC up in Canada.
Thank you so much!! 😊 That’s so cool it was filmed in your hometown! It looks SO PRETTY there! 😍
Oh btw they never clarify this and idk why but one of the reason Luke is so welcoming is bc he's the cabin leader of the Hermes cabin.
I relaly love your reaction, people have already answer your answer then i can't say much lmao.
Also, if you love clarise in this you'll gonna love her more!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! 🤩 And that’s so exciting that Clarisse will be in it more bc I really do love her and find her character sooo interesting! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
You are an absolute delight. I love your personality, and I'm so glad we get to watch this amazing show together!!!
Omg thank you!! That’s so sweet and I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
The capture the flag fight is a bit different as Percy actually fights all of them standing in the water, not on the beach. The rest is basically the same, he breaks the sword, blue team wins, annabeth notice a cut on his arm fades then tell him to step out of the water where he feels tired. This is where it switches again. A Hellhound get through the boundary and attacks/almost kills Percy. The campers kill the hellhound, and annabeth then tells Percy to get into water. His wounds heal and the trident appears. I’m guessing they thought the Hellhound would be to gory/violent for PG. Also it shows that someone had to summon it inside, monster can only enter with permission.
OH WOWWW that’s all crazy!! I kinda wish they left the Hellhound fight scene in bc that sounds awesome but I LOVE how they did the entire episode!!!
Aryan (the actor who plays Grover) did have to learn how to walk like a Goat! He had to learn how to do sad goat walk and stuff!! You should watch the interviews when you finish the show
love the harrypotter references to help follow the riordan verse ...smart!! and mr.D aka jason manzoutkas is a comedic powerhouse on red bull. he is too good and playing jerks lol.. and its wild the impact this book has years later like maze runner divergent and hunger games.. unreal and fantastic
Omgg! I was waiting for this! So excited for your episode 3 reaction. ❤
OMG thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
if you think percy has beef with Mr. D wait until you meet Ares 😂
There is a reason why Chiron and Mr D didn't want Percy to know his mom was in Hades. Because the master bolt search has a deadline. They need finding the master bolt to be Percy's MAIN priority because he only has a week to do it... And they know that if Percy knew his mother was still alive ...Saving his mother would be his first priority...not the masterbolt. So yeah Grover technically did do the morally right thing as a friend of Percy's ...but he kind of fucked up their "find the master bolt before a week is up so the entire world doesn't end" plan.
Accio is one of the best spells ever.
It’s sooo practical!!! Lol the amount of times something has been barely out of reach and I’ve wished I could just use the accio spell to make it float towards me is getting excessive 😂
i love these reaction videos so much 😭 ep 2 was SO SO GOOD and it just gets better as you go!! happy watching and i can’t wait to see more of your reactions and theories
Omg thank you so much!! 🤩 I’m seriously having SO much fun so far!! Episode 2 was amazingggg and I’ll be uploading my episode 3 reaction so soon! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
So, you seem to like fun (non-spoilery) facts, so here goes:
Mr. D, or Dionysus, is serving a century long banishment to camp for getting a little too close to a nymph Zeus had declared off limits. As the god of wine, the sobriety is leaving him perpetually grumpy and irritated. Allegedly he is the camp director, but Chiron’s the one actually running things. Demigods being able to circumvent his prohibition and him tricking Percy into thinking he’s his dad to get Percy to fetch wine is show-original, but not out of line, and sets up the plot point that demigods can do things gods can’t (like steal lightning bolts).
Luke Castellan’s mom isn’t dead, but she did cross the wrong god and ended up with a fate worse than death. She was cursed, and occasionally has mad fits that understandably freaked the shit out of young Luke, so he ran away at a young age. As far as he’s concerned, Annabeth is the only family he has left, so he sympathizes with Percy losing everyone.
Blue food is a running joke between Percy and his mom. It’s his favorite color, and at one point Gabe gets into an argument with her that blue food doesn’t exist. So she went out of her way to get all the blue food she could for percy - blue pancakes, blue cookies, blue birthday cakes, blue candy - everything blue she could.
Also, funny you call Sally a queen. Poseidon also called her a queen among mortals - and offered to build her an underwater palace. She declined, because she didn’t want to be given everything in life - she wanted to earn it. But she did ask for a child, and Poseidon broke his oath not to father more children for her (it’s implied it wasn’t a normal pregnancy. Met at summer cabin, short affair, Percy’s birthday in August…)
That voice in Percy’s nightmare is described in the book as sounding “like a knife scraping over stone”. I think the show did an excellent job portraying the chilling voice.
That dryad (tree nymph) that Grover interacts with is show original. Even I don’t know who it is - possibly his mother (satyrs are male counterparts to nymphs), but confirmed to not be his girlfriend (he has a thing for a particular Juniper).
Clarisse La Rue is the daughter of Ares the god of war, who we get to see later on in quite possibly my favorite episode yet. She inherited a lot of his tough attitude, but also has a lot of expectations going for her. Breaking her electric spear - which you correctly guessed was a gift from her dad - made her understandably pissed because Ares does not look kindly on weakness. Later books expand on her insecurities having to constantly prove herself to him and always being derogatorily compared to his sons (Ares is a bit of a sexist jerk like that).
Percy being claimed now, by Poseidon, at a time when Zeus suspects Poseidon of having stolen the master bolt is a pretty big deal likely to infuriate Zeus. It’s understandable people are giving him strange looks over this.
Your guesses continue to be on point on a lot of things - a credit both to you for being clever and the show for being clear.
Bro, slow down with the spoilers? She might want to read the books and you already told her about May Castellan. 😅
We are going to meet the dark figure in Percy's head eventually.
Ohhhhh I’m so excited about that!!! I have a feeling it’s the real villain of the story like how Voldemort was in Harry’s head. I can’t wait if they have a fight scene!!! Thanks so much for watching 😊
I think if i would pick up a skill it would be archery as i have done it a little a different bow but yeah, but i think i would also be great at sword fighting although the show didn't show the sword fight area of the camp i have always thought that i will be great at it
That’s so cool that you know archery!! It looks so fun and I hope to learn someday. Sword fighting would be an AWESOME skill to pick up on 🤩 That’d be so badass too! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤍
you’ll like mr d eventually 😭 like yeah he can be an asshole but he’s actually not that bad, even better than the other gods
percy isnt the only child of poseiden (King trident and Ursula are also his children but that more in the disneyverse than the riordanverse) hes the only one at camp half blood.
the comments section is just amazing that if anyone is reading this book in school a plus guaranteed ahah
“do they have family diners orrr”
This was my reaction: oh no their family is crazy you’ll learn soon enough
Oh and you’ll learn to have a love-hate relationship with Mr.d
One of the things that I like about this story is how the Arthur Rick Riordan explains how the Greek Gods and stuff are still around today and how it all fits into today's world. Sorry, I'm not going to spoil it for you lol. If you want to find it all out in more detail then you'll have to read the books and stuff. lol
personally I have a theory that he care a lot more then he lets on ( there are a few events in the books that show this in my opinion). Also as far as mythology goes Dionysus was himself a demigod at one point who became a god, and therefor knows far better than any of the other gods just how dangerous their lives are, so I personally feel like he intentionally messes up their names ( which we know is the case as the there’s the occasional times where he does use their proper names) and treats them that way to keep them at a distance so that he won’t be as affected if anything happens to them. 😁
I have a theory about why Mr. D is so dismissive of Percy's mortal parent: Dionysus never knew his own mother, the mortal woman Semele, so he probably considers his fellow gods the only parent that matters to the demigods at camp.
That is sooo interesting and makes so much sense!! That’s such a cool theory. Mr. D definitely prioritizes the gods so that perfectly explains why.
DO NOT GET ATTACHED TO LUKE! (Not to yell at you tho) also fun fact mr. D is the the god of madness too (madness as in insanity!) I’ve just watched this and the first episode that you’ve watched but I already love your content!
Hopefully ppl don’t spoil in the comments but when Luke says we feel for you. All these kids in camp have gone through hell just like Percy. In the books, people don’t tell Percy or others the full truth because it makes things worse. You have to let fate happen. In an interview, Grover said he had to learn how to walk like a goat. Also, being a son of Poseidon he is naturally good with a sword. Plus he is by water making him stronger.
Clarice…I won’t get into her much cuz they might talk more about her so I don’t want to spoil. But yes, the spear is a gift from her father. These kids don’t see their godly parent much. They want to be seen by them so any present is special to them. The quest will be explained more.
Glad you dislike Mr. D. He’s not really supposed to be liked. He’s at a camp and is the head guy. He’s been punished by Zeus to be there for like 100 years or so. He also can’t drink/party or anything he is a god of. He was caught ummmm “frolicking” with some tree nymph and caught by Zeus.
Also, after this season check out the podcast The Newest Olympian. He read the books and breaks down the chapters if you don’t want to read the books. He also currently is uploading interviews with the cast and producers of the show. They might be spoilery tho.
Loved your reaction!
In an interview with Clarice, she yelled so loud it scared Percy’s actor. She also hurt her voice/throat too. Great acting on her part.
PLEASE DO MORE!
OMG of course!!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my reactions. I’ll be uploading my episode 3 reaction so soon and can’t wait to do the other episodes too! Thanks so much for watching 😊
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns omg I can't wait. Your reactions to this series are literally my fave.
I also think Clarisse is like that because yeah her father is the god of war (Ares) but imagine trying to win a little bit of your father's attention though glory and working hard all those years (yes she got a magic spear as a gift from him but that's it) just to see a younger kid k*lling a minotaur his very first day and reciving all that attention, I would be mad too
fun fact hermes cabin has more unclaimed children than children of hermes which is kinda sad because we've seen just how little effort on the gods part claiming children takes
That’s awful!! That’s basically the gods saying “I’m not proud to be your parent enough to claim you” so that’s sooo annoying. I do love that the hermes house lets unclaimed kids live with them though. I think that’s sweet. 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns I mean the unclaimed children also account for the demigods from the gods that are not the main 12.... There are only 12 cabins 4 the main 12 Olympian gods. But there are other Greek gods that do have children... So like there are some gods that just can't claim their kids bc there no cabin for them, IIRC. So yeah, there's quite a few unclaimed children as a result.
I am a huge fan of the books and I am super excited to see new people experienceing something that's so special to me and so many others for the first time. I will say I'm always surprised when people expect the Gods to be sympathetic with the demigods. That kind of empathy or understanding is expected from other characters, so it makes sense to be wanting that from these characters as well, but I'm always super surprised to find that people expect the same high standard for empathy from the Gods as they do with the other characters. I mean, they're immortal and "all powerful"; so, they don't care about people's feelings, they don't have time to be friendly or empathetic, and they won't claim responsibility for their actions (AKA: their kids) unless it benifits them. It's explained more in depth in the books, but demigods generally deal with their parents being callused because they're Gods and generally deserve respect due to their power over everything. But if they aren't treated like the Gods they are, then they will go out of their way to make their kid's lives more difficult then they already are. For example, in the Odyssey, Odysseus blinded Posiden's son polyphemus, and polyphemus prayed to Poseiden, cursing Odysseus, and so Poseidon made sure that he made Odysseus' journy home to Ithica a thousand times more difficult. That's not the best example for the Gods ignoring their children, but it is a good example of the Gods not tolerating disrespect. It sucks that they kind of suck, but they truly believe they're entitled to anything and deserve only the utmost respect - because they kind if are, and they kind of do - that's also why I think everyone else doesn't bother questioning them because they're scared of making them upset. This is another reason why I and so many people love Percy Jackson so much, because he's not afraid to ask incriminating questions about the Gods, and he's not afraid to challenge the God's authority and go against what is expected of him, to stand up for what he believes in. I don't know if this answered any questions you had, but I wanted to give you my opinion on why the Gods act like that. I am really loving you're first time reactions to the Percy Jackson series, and I love to hear new fan's first impressions and theories about where the story will go. It's super fun and really refreshing to see the excitement and love for this series develop for a new fan! I can't wait to see you're reactions to episodes 3, 4, and 5!
Did you now that in the book, after he breaks clarisse’s weapon, the camp is attacked by a dog from h3ll, and after that he’s claimed. Then everybody start ignoring him cause they think is percy’s fault that the camp is not safe anymore cause they use to say no monsters could enter the camp. Then finally, they offer him a quest. LOOOOOOVEEEEEEE your videos btw!
Wow seriously?! That’s so crazy they left all that out! I would’ve loved to see that but I guess it would’ve taken too long for the show maybe. I do LOVE the scene the way they did it!! And thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!!! 🤩 I’ll be uploading my episode 3 reaction so soon🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns totally agree, like in the book it just seems like they’re just making the chapter longer and in the series it just feels like the begging of everything and of percy and annabeth relation.
amando suas reações sem saber nada das coisas
Thank you so much!!! It’s been soooo fun so far and I can’t wait to react to all of season 1 😍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns oiii, eu acabei de descobrir seus vídeos, mas vc é um amor, e parece gostar de tanta coisa que eu tenho interesse, suas reações são ótimas
The age they join the camp depends. i forgot if they said it in the show but in the books, Grover says, "they never get past 6th grade." meaning that he has tried to get a lot of different kids to camp too, and they don't get past the age 12 usually. The kids of the big three (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades) are more likely to attract the monsters while other kids who don't attract them, like Aphrodite's kids, can last much longer alone in the living world. I might be wrong, it's been a while since i read the books.
I am already training archery and a while ago i won a teen tournament! this isn't relevant but i js wanted to share it.
also, i love how Luke is shown like a big brother figure but he is definitely.... something. We will see further in the show.
i hope this helped! i also love your reactions, its perfect
Ohh that’s so interesting, so nearly every kid who comes to the camp is an actual kid younger than 12. Is Percy supposed to be 12? That with the fact that he’s a forbidden child makes sense why he was attracting so much danger before going to camp!
That’s SO COOL you won an archery tournament!! I wanna learn so bad and hopefully will someday. It looks so fun!
Haha I have my suspicions of Luke but love him right now. Can’t wait to find out more about him though!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying my reactions!! 🤩 I can’t wait to upload my episode 3 reaction so soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤍
@@WeCouldBeHeroesDesigns yes most of them are around 12 and percy is 12.

Okay, I have so much to say, I want to make huge, essay-like comment but i can't rn. I'll definitely comeback to do it later)
Also, I thought, maybe I can write a short introduction to 12 main gods for you? Just so you know little bit more?
I commented a list of mentioned gods so far with short summaries of what they rule over but it appears as though UA-cam might have swallowed it up 😭

Hello, have you seen the movie Tarzan The Fearless?
Annabeth has been at camp since she was SIX YEARS OLD…. The beads on the camper’s necklaces represent every summer they’ve spent at camp. She, along with most demigods, has had a very rough past.
WOAH WHAT?? That’s crazy, but I love that she’s been such a great fighter since 6 years old!! That’s such a cool detail about the necklace beads! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know!! 😊
“Is that another creature from the Percy Jackson world?” Girl you mean Greek mythology??? Lol love how much you love this show already tho ❤❤
HAHAHA is it really?? I seriously know nothing lol but that’s part of why watching Percy Jackson for the first time is so exciting and new!! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
