Tbf not too many people hate the first movie. It's a horrible adaptation and a mediocre movie at best but it's so goofy that we all love it in some way lmao. In no way better than the Series but it doesn't need to be. We all love Logan as Percy even if bro acted like he overslept after finding out his mom died😂😂 the second movie is a different story though, it's not charming at all and doesn't have any iconic moments besides "Don't walk on my roof" which also doesn't have a delivery as funny as "This is a pen"

They are both The Chosen Ones who didn't know they were wizard and demigod, respectively; hence they are half-magical. They both have dark hair and green eyes. Their best friends are a girl and a boy. Harry and Percy go to a magical place to learn more about their magical world and their powers. Their paternal figures are negligent and mean and so on ...

That's actually a common formula, it's called "heroes journey", it's always about a guy that lives his simple life and than discovers he's supposed to be special and save the world, so him and his friends go on an adventure to fight evil. Not only Percy Jackson and Harry Potter use this, but also Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and many more

The books are soo good, pure nostalgia. Our Latin teacher actually showed us the film before I read the books, so back then I though the film was good but oh boy! The books are so much fun and so much better than the films. I can recommend them - even though they are written for teens, they are so much fun and there's so much good stuff about Greek Mythology in there, it's awesome. :) So, after watching your reaction, I have to say I'm so happy you liked the film but honestly, from your comments on it, I feel like you'd looove the books. I feel like your thoughts and Percy's inner monologue would match up quite often 😂

there are a few versions of Medua, but the two most popular ones go as followed: Medua was a priestess in the temple of athena, but was persued by poseidon who (as most male gods) wouldn't take no for an answer. After he violated her there are two main roades the story goes. one goes that Athena cursed her into the monster she became to punish her for "sleeping" with her enemy (yes Athena and Poseidon weren't friends, they hated each other), the other goes that she turned medusa to protect her from any more bodily harm from men.

11:45 actually i think Athena would praise Anabeth. In myhts Athena and Posideon have had beef for centuries. If im correct zeus had got it on in a shrine that was made for athena which is super disrespectful, and since she couldnt really do anything to posideon she instead cursed the girl he was with. And thats how we got Medusa! And they also were at each others necks because they were both gunning for the patronage of the city of Athens. The real medusa myth is a little more messed up and i cant say it all on yt tho.

The people who say this is bad live in an echo chamber. As far as adaptations go, it isn’t the best but the new series takes just as many liberties and so do pretty much all book adaptations ever. Regardless, I understand the complaints but simple fact is, you show this to people who haven’t read the books and they love it and as for me, it was my favorite series growing up and I still liked it. I think the second one dropped the ball though but still enjoyable to me. Would’ve loved to see how this universe would’ve continued.

Except this movie took too many liberties. Of course you can't literally adapt a book to TV. But there's no reason to change the characters. Harry Potter wouldn't have worked if they had cast the 3 main characters as grown up teens/20-somethings and there is no reason to. It actually takes away from the story. Unless you want to reach a different audience than the ones who read the book. In which case I would say: write an original story. Liberties will be taken when adapting a story, but there are limits to that, which this movie blatantly crossed. Is that bias? Yes. But what's wrong with that? Everybody is biased on something. Take, for instance, The Shining. It is a great movie, one of the classics, with a great cast. As a book adaptation, though, it is absolutely horrible. Good for people they can watch the PJ movies without being bothered by the deviation from the source material. But it is an objective fact that these movies deviate far from the books. Nothing anyone says will change that fact. Are there deviations in the TV show? Sure. Can't be avoided, as we've established. But when those deviations are greenlit by the original creator it carries a lot more weight than some Hollywood producer who doesn't care about the story wanting to create a box office success.

The hate makes sense,The movie makes Hades as evil and abusive as possible while the book deconstructs the trope. Hades being evil is just Christianity pretending to be Greek mythology,in Greek mythology Zeus and Hera are the real villians.

In mythology, Medusa was a priestess of Athena she spoke for her at her Temple. People would come to see Medusa because it was said she was beautiful. Athena grew jealous. Poseidon wanted Medusa but she refused because as a priestess she was supposed to be celibate. Poseidon ended up forcing himself on Medusa in the temple of Athena, and so Athena punished Medusa for "allowing this to happen"

Actually medusa were not the only Gorgons in Greek Mythology. She had 2 sisters Euryale and Stheno and Medusa was the mortal of the 3. But the mythology never really gave more clues on if they were the only ones but we assume they were not.

I think one of the biggest inaccuracies that gets me a bit angry is the fact that they use so much technology. Like Luke having multiple computers and Percy with the iPod considering one of the big things in the book is if a demigod uses a phone it basically sends a signal to monsters telling them where they are. Now I don't remember if the phone thing extends to things like computers cuz i know Annabeth has one in the later books but it's also a special magic computer.

I just watched the Disney show they made of it, & I get why the author didn’t love these movies. They aged them up by about 5 yrs, and there is much more mythology, explanations: for instance the 3 Zeus, Posidon & Hades all agreed to not have more half bloods cuz their kids were just too damn OP. So Percy was kept a secret & out of camp until the other gods found out about him. Also, the little kid Percy has a lot more agency & the quest to find the holt get to underworld etc, is much longer. I didn’t read the books, but enjoyed the movie- but really loved the new series. I think you’ll have a blast with it after next two movies are done. Also… Hades wasn’t a bad guy in greek mythos, he was a more mellow god. He was all about neutrality & protecting the souls in his realms. Poseidon was always at war with Zeus, & the battle that kills most of the gods was instigated by Poseidon- just as in Clash of the Titans the Kraken is a beast of the water- and Aphrodite was Posiedon’s child, so when the queen & king said their daughter was more beautiful than the goddess Poseidon told them to sacrifice her to the Kraken or the whole city would be destroyed. It wasn’t Hade’s making trouble. But christian values have been overlaid over the old greek & roman myths, & they merged their evil Devil, with Hades. So now in hollywood, it’s always Hade’s who’s the ‘bad’ god.
