The cast is actually the right age. As the seasons goes on, it's gonna awesome to see Percy and other demigods grow up and develop. After all, It is a coming-of-age story to its core. They changed some stuff but overall it's pretty accurate so I love this episode. I'm just so happy they kept all the important scenes like the opening monologue being the first page of the book.

Yeah if they do this then they may not do the whole Medusa head thing. I think that was like the funniest joke in the book. Just how sassy Percy was and how like he stood up and kinda made a fool out of the gods

Grover was always like this, I’m so glad they did this because it leaves room for development like in the books.

My favorite things about these adaptations are the details you can notice as a fan of the original material. Example: In the book, Sally works for a stars-and-stripes themed candy store, and Gabe had an argument with her one time about whether or not blue food exists, so she made it a point from then on to make all of Percy’s birthday cakes and food-related gifts blue. In the show, she gives Percy blue candy as a present, and just seeing that brought this indescribably dorky smile to my face.

I HAVE to point out how accurate they were when they used a common pen for Riptide.

Love your reaction!!! And can we just say, SALLY JACKSON = BADASS

I love that they kept the humor. The humor is like, one of the most iconic things from the books for me and I was so scared that they were gonna make it too serious or dark and I’m so glad that they kept the humor

He’s perfect

People saying Gabe should be more outwardly abusive clearly haven't read the books in a while. Percy had NO IDEA that his mom is being physically abused until the end of the book, and he's not an idiot, so clearly Gabe was at least trying to keep up appearances when Percy was home (like 3 months of the year). Also abusive people usually don't broadcast the fact they're abusing someone to their family.

I’m 27 and very much enjoying the fact that the main character is 12, to me the age range reminds me of the first Harry Potter film. So it gives me nastalga there. Percy Jackson books were actually very silly but also had its serious moments.

Too Goofy? Nah, you just let that inner child die. All those moments of "I don't remember that in the books." Nah, it's there. The movies are shite. You're better off forgetting everything you know from them. They are nothing like the actual source material

Rick riordan said walkers voice was perfect for percy

One thing to remember, Grover’s species ages a lot slower than humans. Although he’s 24, he has the mind of someone around Percy’s age.

igli only remembering the gabe detail is so funny idk why LMAO it's so random.

Percy is 12 in the first book his age is correct for the books. It wasn't done to appeal to kids these days, it was because that's how old the character is. Logan Lerman played a 16 year old Percy because Hollywood made the terrible decision to age him up so they could do the romance sooner. I love Logan. But not as Percy when he first starts out. He's perfect for an older teenage Percy, like 16-18, the Percy we see in the second series. But not Percy for the first few books where he's a kid. It's not till the last book of the first series that he turns 16 so for the entire first series of books, Logan was too old to play Percy.

I loved the first two episodes. I’m looking forward to seeing your reaction to episode 2. The art during the credits reminds me of a Diego Rivera mural.

I’ve been a fan of the books for over a decade now. After this series being overlooked, mocked, and constantly being compared to Harry Potter, to see my fav reacting channels reacting to one of my favorite franchises and giving it the respect and love it deserved warms my heart.

I actually love seeing people who haven’t read the source material react to show adaptions! So I’m very excited for this!

A reminder for Blake, SPOILER! The minotaur didn't kill Sally, she was transported to the underworld because Hades took her as a hostage

The first movie was completely different from the books. The only thing that was really from the books that they got right was the Casino hotel That they get stuck in And maybe Medusa. Besides that, there was nothing in the first movie that I could remember that was actually in the first book. And as I recall, they don't end up facing the Hydra until the sea of monsters. And they need a Clarissa's iron clad to blow it up if I Remember correctly. So far. I am living for this series. The first 2 episodes were great.

Walker is Literally Percy As a huge fan of the Riordan books im happy af with these two episodes THEY WERE PERFECT Especially the second epiosde i jus found the editing a lil goofy

Grover is 24 but he age slower than demigods.

After reading the first book, I did watch the movie immediately and I agree to a certain point that the actor in the movie was good but I think that similar to HP, age does matter when it comes to casting for Percy Jackson.

The first movie changed too much as well. Just the fact that the actors were way too old for it to make sense to make 5 or more movies. This TV series seems to be so much better I'm really enjoying it so far.

"Are you saying there's gonna be a Percy Jackson Fortnite collab?" Maybe not officially, but earlier today I caught a Twitch stream of Walker Scobell and Brady Noon playing Fortnite together.

Almost 8 min in and be nice to Igli!! That was a cute thing to remember. I read the books too but it’s been sooooo long I forgot most of the details but this show is so much different than the first movie was.

Still i think there are somethings that could lead to changes from the book a lot like 1.Sally is not portrayed as a victim like in the books and (2.) Gabe is shown as a better person than in the books... Makes her sacrifice less difficult in the eyes of the viewers. 3. Sally not teaching Percy how to defend against the minotaur 4. A good change but can we PLEASE take Sally saying "Not all monsters are bad" in a way of the show overshadowing Bob the Titan

the first movie of percy from the get go they changed the main key factor of the story which is their age! i dont wanna spoil anything to those who havent read it but the age has something to do with the story! so the movie turning casts into 17 years old already killed the whole franchise

What a shame man the action and loss really picks up after the titans curse Battle of the Labyrinth has great action and crazy moral conundrum And OMFG THE LAST OLYMPIAN? so good man the siege of Manhattan so great

Oh so I’m older than you guys cuz I was a sophomore in high school when the first one came out. I thought you were all older than me. Lol And yeah I read all the books loved it and I was like oh shit this I think is better than Harry Potter and ik that’s blasphemous. lol I mean I even have a tattoo of the Slytherin snake. So but I was like oh my god this series is so fucking good. I was so pissed when they did the movies dirty. I was like this is literally neck and neck with Harry Potter. But I didn’t like comparing them cuz it hurt my heart but I’d say there’s way more action and adventure in this which makes this series so fun and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Harry Potter is more dramatic and slower paced which is fine. It just depends on peoples preferences but I love them both sooooo much. So I hope they finally do this justice. I’m praying crossing my fingers. I’m also thinking of reading the whole series again. Cuz I own only some of the books. And I’ve only read Percy Jackson and Harry books all the way through only once. But I freaking love Greek&Roman Mythology too. And this made me fall even more so in love. ❤❤❤

I was obsessed with Harry Potter growing up, and then Percy Jackson came along and joined that place in my heart. Now, as an adult writer, I can confidently say the Percy Jackson series is far better written, but no shade to anyone who prefers the former. And hey, at least the author of PJ is a genuinely good and progressive guy, meanwhile JKR is.... despicable. Heartbreaking to find out, but makes sense in hindsight. PJO deserved SO much more attention and the movies killed that potential for mainstream audiences to get into the books. I'm so SO thrilled Rick gets to write/direct this show to finally make his story come alive in his vision :D

They cut so much from both movies and changed the second one I wanted to scream. The books are so good the people that worked on the movies should never touch movies or shows adapted from books. Same goes for the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini. Those books were fantastic, and the movie cut and changed a lot that the fans had the same reaction to Percy Jackson movies. While I normally would recommend watching a movie to make your opinion on it not in this case. Just read/listen to the books and forgo the movie Eragon.

22:43 I agree! I personally do think it’s a bit childish, and if it had been made 6-8 years ago, I’m sure my opinion would be different. Despite that, I’m really loving it so far. Many lines said were straight from the book, and they even showed the Pegasus in the first ep. It gives me a lotttt of hope for this series. I also really really loved Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson, I thought he was amazing for the role and seemed very genuine. Kid Percy I feel misses some tones in his lines that should be there. It just really sucks that the movies went so wrong, so we never got more of Logan’s Percy. Sometimes I wish the movies had never been made purely so that I’d have nothing to compare this series to. I just am so cautious of loving this series, the movies hurt with how jumbled they were, and I don’t want to love this show and it not be renewed. Anywho. I’m so sorry for the essay. Just wanted to share my thoughts! I loved the video, thanks again for posting it!!

I couldn’t even get through the second episode, way too many inaccuracies and the only characters who look anything like how they are described in the books are Percy and sally. The entire reason the movies failed is because they tried way too hard to be relevant to pop culture and changed so much that they were unrecognizable from the books. They’re doing the SAME THING AGAIN. I gave up on the entire series halfway through episode 2, the clunky dialogue and terrible animation also make it nearly impossible to watch.
