Is *Percy Jackson* good??? | Eps 1 & 2 Reaction

[@parzivalkni110]

The reason for Claris's violent reaction to breaking the spear is because it was a gift to her from Aries. Basically the only attention he has ever given her, and Percy broke it after embarrassing her in the bathrooms.

[@logann-mackenziefroste563]

Is it me but Ares gives all his kids the same gift or a similar gift because Frank will receive a similar spear in The Son of Neptune 😅

[@TheIndianDeity]

@@logann-mackenziefroste563well for one I don’t think he cares about them. And for two… I don’t think Ares is the creative type, especially when it comes to gifts

[@seansilence2697]

[@Mcherri]

@@logann-mackenziefroste563ares is a god of war of course all his gifts are going to weapons which is hilarious but also knowing his children could be like him and I think the only reason Percy was able to break the spear was because he is posideons son just as powerful as ares one of the big 3 child.

[@rorybisson756]

Claris's got such a great arc though. Ares does favor her amongst his children in the series but its not like he's the best when it comes to emotional things.

[@parzivalkni110]

The opening monologue is actually directly ripped from the opening of the book. Halfbloods do have ADHD and Dyslexia (battle reflexes and their minds are wired for Greek), and the story was written for uncle rick's son who has both of those. The stories actually started a bedtime stories for said son, before rick started writing them down. The movies really do not do the books justice, and the show looks like it is finally going to give us the adaptation we deserve!

[@logann-mackenziefroste563]

Yes this is what I thought the show finally shows the AdHD and dyslexia and how it is for people which the films just mentioned it and it and then it was like a neurotypical film.

[@midnightbattle4252]

I wish I had reflexes my adhd makes me process thing much slower 😭😭😭😭I also blame it on my horrible math skills (I get numbers confused🥸)

[@movienightwithjacqui]

It makes absolute sense that the opening monologue was ripped from the book! It just has that vibe lol. But it's really cool that Riordan included things like ADHD and dyslexia for the characters, since I feel like those are things that probably easy to overlook that certainly need representation as well. I'm glad to hear most fans seem to be happy with it so far! I'm certainly enjoying it 😊

[@jackcrofts-mullin461]

The book claims Percy’s abilities manifest themselves to look like several learning and living struggles. Demigods has trouble reading English because their brains are hardwired for Ancient Greek and the ADHD are their instinctive battle reflexes. So far I’m really enjoying the show and I hope this does well enough to adapt the rest of the books

Sally Jackson is one of the best moms in modern fiction

[@jonathanmendoza2319]

Me: I Think I'm In Love

[@typo1345]

they didnt want Percy knowing about Sally (at least, just yet) because they didnt want Percy to act impulsively on that news. Cause also, by that time Grover goes to Chiron and Mr. D about that, they didnt know Percy was a child of Poseidon, so he had no reason nor business going to the underworld, and him rushing down into the underworld to confront Hades? Not a good idea

[@sorchamiana]

I'm curious about this. Do we really think Chiron and Mr.D didn't know his dad is Poseidon? Grover saw Percy manipulate water on the Yancy field trip and could have told them about that, plus Percy had no lingering injuries after the minotaur fight (which happened in the rain) so even if Grover said nothing about the water, it's possible that could've been enough for them to at least suspect. (Also they knew a grand quest was coming and a kid who took out a minotaur with no training certainly sounds like a fairly likely quest candidate). I do still think it's possible they didn't know and therefore wouldn't want him running off to the underworld if he had no business being there, but I also think it's possible they either knew or suspected and didn't want him attempting to rescue his mom at the expense of the quest's success. Because even after Percy has been claimed, when they are telling him about the quest, it still seems like they don't want Grover to tell him even then. Just wondering, because I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't know, but I do see why they might've had reason for secrecy either way. 🤷

[@hanshotfirst4214]

I honestly feel bad for clarisse with the spear and her reaction. It was the only thing from her dad. Ares is implied to definitely favor his sons so she feels like she has infinitely more to prove to her dad.

[@EmperorDxD]

I always found that weird because I'm the mythology Ares Daughters was always his favourite all Amazon and all that was always his favourite and he would always spend time with them

I bet the show will make Ares equally douchey to all his kids,because he still respects women more than most male gods.

As a big fan of the books I loved these two episodes, camp half-blood is exactly how rick riordan describes it in the book. It's nothing like the Logan lerman adaptation, no hate towards the actors but it was a mess, I think a tv show is a lot better to portray this story and do it justice (and they already are, barely two episodes in). Also, Rick started writing these books because his son has ADHD and dyslexia and he wanted to give him a character he could relate to and faced some of the same struggles which makes it even more amazing. I loved the books when I was younger and later found out I have ADHD myself and having this story helped me so much with not feeling so alien to everyone else.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mom but, she can't compete with Sally. Oh and there is incredible significance to Percy killing the Minotaur. The last documented hero (Theseus, I think) to perform said task had years of training and was almost twice Percy's age. Not to mention Percy friggin rips the horn off with pure strength, (something that only Heracles should be able to do). If you pay attention to the monsters that Percy encounters and compare them to the old "myths" Percy shouldn't have lived past the Minotaur fight, let alone anything else. His story makes the trials Harry Potter goes through look like a nice vacation in comparison. Later on he makes a journey that makes the Journey through the lands of Mordor look easy.

Having the original creator work on the adaptation is in no way a guarantee of quality and success. Plenty of them, including Stephen King, have completely botched adaptations of their own work. If one of my stories were to be adapted I would have no interest working on it, leaving it to (hopefully) far more talented people in the world of live action entertainment. What matters is how good the people working on them are as storytellers, whether they are the creator of the source material or not. What made The Last of Us so good is that it was based on a game with a strong focus on storytelling to accompany the game play thanks to Neil Druckmann. The other key was Craig Mazon having respect and reverence for the source material, and both understanding when it must be tweaked for live action. We've even seen examples of the adaptation surpassing the original, like Jaws and Arrival, for instance.
