Personally I was a little dissatisfied with Annabethâs characterization. I donât think they really captured her softer more vulnerable side, which I think is important to remind you that she isnât actually a perfectly smart, super badass warrior, sheâs really just a kid under all that.Â
The reveal with Luke at the end was the biggest sin. Book Annabeth wouldâve been an emotional wreck, probably still in denial, but show Annabeth just kind of⌠seems a little disappointed but accepts it? And then it doesnât seem like it really affects her at all after that? Her and Lukeâs relationship in the show was just lacking in general tbh

i think in the case of grover i never really got that sense of how cowardly he is in the books, he often felt like the showrunners forgot him which is a shame
i also think that rick was chatting WAY too much shit about the movies for this series to be the way it is

This should have been an animated show. It baffles me how nobody realised this.

I was genuinely baffled how many times I caught myself thinking âmaybe the filmmakers knew what they were doingâ

A lot of movies and shows now feel like long trailers for the work instead of actually delivering on the ideas đ

Am I the only one who thought Chiron felt really off in this adaptation? He felt really flat and stern, and nothing like the kind-hearted camp counselor from the books, or even the movies. He felt like he was there to do a job, not because he wanted to support the kids.

I think it was ok, but it seemed like Rick decided to make sure it was utterly different to the previous adaptation and made larger changes, while also speedrunning the story at the same time. The show just felt strange in terms of pacing, and that really hurt the show.

the lack of this is cool, really hurts the show and thanks for putting it in to words.
Watching it with kids who havent read the books, we didn't get passed episode 2 because they were so bored and didn't care because the show seems to entirely depend on 'look the scene from the book word for word' to engage adult book fans but for kids, that just doesn't catch them and if the world felt cool, if percy was awed by the lore not just shrugging and going yeah I know, maybe the kids would care too? and thats not a percy's actor thing, it's the whole shows approach of yeah, lack of remembering its cool. Only us adults got to the end, the kids just checked out.

I have a question for modern tv writers is it too much to ask character based filler episodic serialised shows anymore? Some of my favourite shows from early 90s to early 2010s used this to not only get audiences familiar with the characters but also for the writers themselves to know what kind of show they want. Nowadays writers think filler bad or not prestigious. Imagine if a Chef hates making sandwich because it has some filler in it and just wants customers to eat meat it's great and filling but the customer will forget but if you get simple yet effective filler with a good meat its memorable forever for the customers.

Oh yes, I like Percy Jackson and have LOTS of opinions, so Iâm glad to see your opinion on it.
On my part, I think the shows main sin is thatâŚ.it is boring. And if feels like that bc of the problems you listed. Weird, rushed pacing, short episodes with weird cuts and underwhelming visuals and worldbuilding.
I didnât fell in love with the story, nor itâs world. It all felt incredibly mundane, and I think for a fantasy kids show, thatâs kinda of unforgivable. Where is the sense of wonder or adventure?
Other than that, although I love the cast (ironically, I think Grover was my favorite), I donât think the direction let them shine as much as they could, especially Walker. Itâs just, they spend so much time being very serious kids, concerned about the mission or whateverâŚthey donât quite feel like kids or like a group of friends. One of the highlights was the car scene at Cassino Lotus. That was fun and silly and something kids would do. I just needed more, WAY MORE of that. But I do love the cast. In interviews especially, you can see their chemistry, how in tune they are, I just wished we couldâve seen more of their energy on the actual show. I hope we get a season 2 for them only.
And to finish this, ppl shit on the movies bc they are bad, but as least they are fun and knew how to sell the sense of wonder of that fantasy world. And that is WAY more important than being faithful to the source material.

The last episode should have been called âThe Lightning Thiefâ

I felt really sad about how many times I found myself thinking that the show was at the same level of the movie in regards to quality and storytelling, even thinking that the movie did some things BETTER than the show (the Lotus hotel for example). The characters just know everything that is happening, they know about Medusa, they already know about the hotel so it doesn't affect them, Percy already knows about Crusty's mattress store, etc. They're never surprised by anything because they already know everything, there's no stakes, they never feel like they're in danger and to me nothing really feels earned, the show was just hitting plot points from the book because it had to do it, but everything just ends so fast. I LOVE Percy Jackson and I want to support anything that comes out about this franchise, but this first season disappointed me a lot.

im very glad I didnât give up on this show because I think it really stuck the landing at the end - the cast was great and it was genuinely very touching in places! - but I honestly donât know if I would have got that far if I didnât adore those books when I was twelve đ
the story was a lot more exposition-y than I picked up on as a kid (hazards of adaptation tbf) and it got very slow in the middle đ
but the main three are just perfect (especially Walker and Leah!) and i think they got the feel of the world just right!
I really hope we get s2 so they get the chance to iron out any issues from the first season and get to the really good bits of this story!

Shouldâve been an animated show with longer and more episodes. Sad that either the author or the studio blatantly lied to us about the show being a fully faithful adaptation. Iâd even say I kinda prefer the movies in some ways.

i still think the show should've been animated, Walker talking about his eyes burning after two days of filming underwater, in relation to his anxiousness for filiming scenes in Sea of Monsters, has made this undeniable to me.

lol, you pretty much summarized my thoughts exactly around this show. I loved the cast, and they nailed the finale (for me) but the middle parts were a little too fast and too much for us to really appreciate what's happening in this world and to these characters. i hope future seasons are a lil slower in pace and longer in duration. this story deserves breathing room! great video from a fellow rian johnson/reylo stan!

I recently listened to all 5 books last week and I enjoyed the show. I have some issues, but it's tv. There are going to be issues. I do think 10 episodes, an hour long each would be better. But the children were like 12 when they started filming. The kids are a little older now, so maybe it's possible

joe, i honestly have no interest in percy jackson whatsoever. but your discussions are such a positive breath of fresh air that i just decided to watch this video anyway. keep doing what you do my dude <3

Very much agree on the pacing and exposition issues, but also definitely feel that the show begins to find its feet in those last few episodes. Fingers crossed that in the future seasons thereâs a bigger sense of wonder and more character moments.
