[@kepenyesmarcell7174]

Omg I didn't connect this in my head, I just thought why is he pointing at that character from Gravity Falls. And it's even worse considering that I read the books. 😅😂

[@Chimera211x]

The Percy Jackson series has always been my favourite interpretation of Hades. Most series' just conclude "We'll he's the greek version of Satan so he must be evil as shit" and have him want to conquer the world or something. But in reality Hades is actually supposed to be super content in the underworld and doesn't really care about what happens outside of his domain, and why should he? He governs the dead, and everyone will end up in his realm eventually

[@FlyingwithFire]

Percy Jackon hades in the books was hardly content, he is bitter and brooding because of reasons he is endlessly annoyed by the ammount of work he has to do

[@gabrieldossantos1116]

​@@FlyingwithFire He is bitter and broody because he is actually kinda chill but everyone treats him like the devil lol that and the endless paper work since the underworld theoretically has way more people than the entire planet so just imagine the amount of burocracy. The impression ive had of him in the first book was just that he was tired of everything, not necessarily jealous of his brothers

[@opinionberry]

@@FlyingwithFireBook Hades in a nutshell ”Why would I want war?? Think of the paperwork!!”

[@Birthday888]

​​@@gabrieldossantos1116 He also specifically dislikes Percy because Zeus and Poseidon gave him shit for not sending his kids to Camp Half Blood when they made the vow not have more children, to the point where they tried to have the kids killed and actually did kill their mother. So you can see why Hades would be a tad pissed that when Zeus and Poseidon break their vows, suddenly their children must be protected. Generally speaking, the reason Hades is bitter is because he's been treated like shit by his relatives.

[@biocapsule7311]

I always prefer the Jim Butcher version, where he is basically the only Greek gods that cares about his job, and it's basically what he is doing even in most mythological depiction. The only 'bad' thing associate with him is the thing with Persephone. And that's just angry mother-in-law bad mouthing him because she disapprove of their relationship.

[@thehermit8723]

And finally Hades is described as he is supposed to be, dignified and in distaste of te family drama and power games. Not the typical mustache twirling villain.

[@fab647]

Imo his characterisation differs too much from the book, which hinders some storylines in later books

[@gabrieldossantos1116]

​@@fab647 I mean not really, at least i dont think so. I dont remember the first book very well but the impression I've always had of Hades in the books is that he is just tired of everything which ya know its kinda fair. Here he is just a bit more lively. I'm curious, why do you think he is so different?

[@MilesCMedia]

in the books hes described as the first god that felt and looked like one, this guy did not lmao. in the books hes 10 feet tall has a terrifying cloak, actually commands respect and acttually speaks about killed them all and would never just make a deal like this guy did. Hes really a different character @@gabrieldossantos1116

[@pkmntrainerian1092]

I found this version of Hades pretty accurate. He's done with all the random stuff with his brothers, and a bargaining man. Which is why he didn't give a crap about the bolt, he just wanted what was his returnee, and he'd give Percy his mom back. As he said, "quid pro quo"

[@borjankosarac3645]

Too bad they omitted his rant about how much the bureaucracy of his realm (paperwork, constantly having to expand for new residents) is enough of a headache without the throne of Olympus. Just because it’s both funny and characterising of him as above (most of) his family’s petty squabbles, especially Zeus the tantrum-throwing brat of a younger (youngest? I don’t remember if Hades or Poseidon was the eldest brother in PJ-verse, but it’s inconsistent even in the canon…) brother. Ah, well; I still really like him. And I know Rick Riordan was involved so it’s a given, but… it’s still kind of surreal that ANY Disney-distributed project would actually depict Hades as he actually was in the myths - not popular and distrusted by mortals, but pretty laid back overall.

I was kind of wary when i saw they were doing krusty rather than DOA because that guy has quite the vibe that could be weird depending on the actor but was instantly relieved when i saw him. He was the perfect choice.

[@pinsandneedles3]

The satyr protectors aren't assigned to specific children. They are sort of just moving around different schools and seeing if they pick up the aura or scent of a demigod. Grover sensed that Percy is a powerful demigod and asked Chiron to come to the school for help/backup. He must have been very worried about protecting another powerful demigod after what happened to Thalia

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Yeah. Grover actually found all of the Greek Big Three Children: Thalia, Percy, Nico and Bianca were all found by him.

[@AmbieBambie212]

Toby Stephens going from Sea Captain to Sea God is just perfect!

[@mrs.manrique7411]

Kronos (Father Time, Saturn, Grim Reaper) is associated with sand because it is found in time turners. Kronos in pieces represents the division of time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. Kronos eats his children just as time eats away our lives. Percy runs out of time, in the show, in order to show that Kronos has already won, at least in some small way.

[@EverShy_]

Haven't thought of that but yes it does

The thing about the gods in PJO... well, the book is about Percy Jackson, not the gods. So it makes sense that they'd be more like cameos. Also, although I loved the way Hades was played, the left out something from the book which was when they accuse him of wanting a war to get more people and power and Hades is like "MORE dead souls? Why would I want that? Where do you think I would put them? We are at MAX capacity!"

Good to know. I was confused why the god of the seas would have control over rain. I think the thunder was probably Zeus though, since that was when Sally asked Poseidon to see Percy.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Yeah Percy's got that power too. He created a hurricane while fighting Hyperion during the Battle of Manhattan and a small scale one while fighting the ghosts on the Alaskan Glacier in The Son of Neptune. Percy and Thalia's brother Jason Grace also combined their powers to create a storm once.

eric's giddiness over poseidon before he's revealed is so relatable lmao man, i've missed seeing toby stephens in something after my black sails binge a few years ago. the man knows how to command a scene like very few others can. he does so much with so little time and i just always want more of him. what perfect casting, so thankful we have the black sails creators at the helm of this story and that they're bringing along more black sails alums in like jessica and toby. fingers crossed for a luke arnold appearance in future seasons idc who he plays i just miss him lol the thunder when poseidon considers talking to percy is so!!! i loved that little touch so much!! ZEUS MIND UR OWN BUSINESS DAMN!! and ares about to throw hands with a 12 year old sir grow up!! and yes janci!! definitely watch black sails! be aware of the triggers esp in the first season but i cannot recommend it enough. it's one of the best completed stories i've ever seen a series tell and toby stephens is just so incredible in it he's mesmerizing. the man can do a monologue!! and bear mccreary does the score for pjo and he also did it for black sails (and aos!!) so u know that poseidon coming down with his trident while black sails music plays could actually happen lol also sidenote--kinda love that the underworld looks like the upside down lmao

[@jenastorry5919]

The guy who plays Crusty isn't just death from Supernatural, but he was also in the original Percy Jackson movie as Charon/ the ferryman to the underworld!

Ah, knew I recognized him from something related to this. I wish they adapted the whole scene, he’s a great actor.

[@emilylewis5373]

I’m so excited for them to see next week. There were several comments in their reaction that made me giddy for their reaction.

[@rhaenatargaryen8061]

Bear Mccreary (guy who did the music on Black Sails among other things) was just in a hollywood records video explaining all the themes he constructed for this show. It's so nice to be in such amazing hands for this series and continuing on to future books hopefully.

[@joshmanchester5873]

So far I think hades and hephaestus are my two favorite Olympians they don't want to be involved with the family drama

[@borjankosarac3645]

If I had ever written a self-insert fanfic for PJO, I would have chosen Hephaestus no question; I always empathised with him, his character is pretty likeable, and the powers would be cool. That, and the ones I’d have otherwise picked would be Gary Stu quality… because Hera, Artemis and Hestia breaking their marriage/celibacy vows is inconceivable to me.

[@ravenwraith1017]

@kokopium8003...he is mostly good in PJO. Originally? His predatory antics could give his father a run for his money, so I personally wouldn't rank him highly

[@unicornburger16]

I don’t recognize Toby Stephens from anything but his voice is very fitting for Poseidon.

[@my5head]

He was Captain Flint on Black Sails, a phenomenal but underrated show, and Stephens was extraordinary in it. One of the best villainous protagonists ever on screen.

[@rhaenatargaryen8061]

@@my5head (Minor Spoilers) But, he's not really that villainous, i mean the show clearly portrays his and madi's actions as justified while silver stands apart from them based on his flaw of personal loyalty (very percy coded of him). He's definitely morally questionable but his function never really strays into villainy, only flirts with it.

[@my5head]

@@rhaenatargaryen8061 I've seen the show 10+ times and just about every Black Sails character is a villain. Flint killed pirates and innocents alike, but you're supposed to turn a blind eye because he's the protagonist. Nonetheless, he's still a villain.

​@@laylammoraisoh I loved that show. Very underrated Netflix series. He was also the main villain in a bollywood movie mangal Pandey the rising.

[@gabrieldossantos1116]

When I was first reading I remember that I wasn't actually very sold on the story until the whole Hades thing happened right by the end. I've never personally liked most interpretations of Hades as a villain (except Hercules, that Hades is fire) because he was literally the most chill and least problematic out of all greek gods. Hades having nothing to do with the Master Bolt but getting framed because even the other gods and demigods were weary of him was the most impressive plot twist ever for little kid me lol

[@borjankosarac3645]

It’s confounding how the movies looked at the book with its clever twist, and decided, “Nah we’re just gonna do the Hollywood thing”… And between that and the next film they made a Surprised Pikachu face when fans hated it. Yeah, Disney’s “Hercules” is so audaciously it’s own thing that I just don’t mind at that point, even if it’s a terrible representative of the myths (except the self-fulfilling prophecy part, that’s so Greek…) And while I don’t care for James Woods as a person, the fact he made the character unique as opposed to a bog-standard villain (it was him who went the “sleazy car salesman” characterization) and to this day is passionate enough to reprise the role WHENEVER he’s asked, is something I absolutely respect about him as a performer and artist… Ah; I miss the truly great Disney villains.

[@dennis2667]

[@RhyaXP]

I’m actually on season 3 of Black Sails right now because you guys recommended it when you were watching the Ahsoka series because of Ray Stevenson. It’s one of my new favorite shows for sure.

[@ESJDeLeon_21]

37:22 it wasnt mentioned in the series but in the books, grover was already at yancy on a lookout for new demigods when he discovered that percy was a demigod, he wasnt sure who percys godly parent was but he knew that percy was special and powerful. Chiron only do "house calls" as they called it or only shows up in person if the demigod is truly special and powerful. So to answer your question, stayrs are usually sent to schools on a scouting mission to find new demigods and chiron only shows up when a powerful or special demigod is spotted/found by the satyrs. The same reason why grover was the same satyr who found thalia. When grover found thalia and found out that she is a daughter of zeus he got strict orders to camp immediately. Thats all ill say since the rest will most likely be explained in the future

[@TheKing20501]

The Underworld was divided into three regions: Elysium, a paradise for the heroes whom the gods conferred immortality were sent; Tartarus, a black pit/Prison for the mortals who have angered the gods, or who were considered to be impious were sent Including the Titans.; and the Asphodel Meadows, which is the Place for the normal people.

It’s a way to get the exposition out the way because it can’t be read like in a book. Maybe it would be better if they didn’t monologue it and just had a conversation, but I get it.

[@sneakycheeks]

It's done alot better in the books..as Percy often says he knows who everyone is because his mom has told him all the Greek mythology stories over and over since he was really young.

[@TheIndianDeity]

@@ElleKayGeeit also gets tiring week after week just being “the trio goes to a new place. The trio walks into a place unsuspecting of danger. They discover that it’s a trap and they’ve been tricked. The trio beat the monster then get out.” Like Medusa, the arch, Lotus Casino, and Procrustes just get tiring week after week especially because the trio just goes there without a reason. The show does it better because the same events still play out, but the trio have a reason to be there that’s just not “we came across this place randomly and decided to check it out.” They go to Medusa’s bc they’re trying to escape Alecto, they go to the arch for sanctuary, they go to the casino for Hermes and directions, and they go to Procrustes for the entrance. Each place is unique and has a reason for being part of the story instead of “the trio are dumb and don’t learn from their mistakes and get tricked again.”

[@gregmurdoch3809]

@@ElleKayGee I wish they struggled more. Like I was ok with them immediately knowing Medusa, because that's obvious. But walking into the Lotus Casino and immediately going "this is the Lotus Casino, where they trap people with brainwashing". Then this time when they went to Crustys and went "you trap travellers with your beds". Like I want them to EXPERIENCE the traps, not just point them out immediately.

An almost perfect episode. I just wish Hades was more menacing. He doesn't have that Godly presence. Also, did not expect to see Poseidon this episode, that was a good surprise. I love Toby Stephen already as the God of the Seas. I haven't watched Black Sails yet (it's on my list), I did watch Lost In Space and loved him in it. Oh Aaron, if only you knew. I have an idea of what Annabeth's regret might be but I'm not sure. Maybe she'll say what it is next episode. Speaking of which, I can't believe next week is the season finale. It makes me sad just thinking about it. 8 episodes is not enough, that's for sure. The conversation about Cerberus' poop LMAO PS: To Janci: You're only mad because you know, like me, what is coming. Don't worry, we'll see it next episode. I don't know if the show is gonna cover it, but in the book, I think Chiron and Grover were at Yancy for a year.

Hades also explicitly said he’s not kahooting with Ares, so the poll might as well just be is he lying or not.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

He's not. Hades is completely innocent in all of this.

People who read the book knows who the real Lightning thief is

[@WarGrowlmon18]

It's Luke. He has a lot of anger and bitterness towards the gods, his father in particular and Kronos took advantage of that. Luke and Kronos are the main antagonists of the first five books. In the book, Camp Half-Blood was on Olympus on a field trip during the Winter Solstice, the one day of the year that Hades is allowed there. The gods symbols of power were unguarded in the throne room (Zeus has TERRIBLE security, Percy once snuck into Zeus' brunch with a bunch of minor gods, half of the Olympian Council and Zeus' mom Rhea without Zeus ever realizing that he was there and it was in Zeus' own palace!!!) so Luke snuck in and stole the Helm and the Bolt. Hades kept quiet because he didn't think that anyone would care enough to offer him justice and Hades believed that admitting to the theft would leave him too vulnerable. Zeus sent his children to find the Bolt and Ares caught Luke, but Kronos convinced the God of War that it would be better to use it to trigger the biggest war ever. Ares took possession of the items and told Zeus and Poseidon his "suspicions" about who actually stole the Bolt, igniting the war tensions. The backpack is actually the Bolt's sheath, Ares put an enchantment on it similar to the one on Riptide so that the Bolt returned to its sheath when it entered the Underworld/got close to Tartarus. The shoes were supposed to take Percy and the Bolt into Tartarus to Kronos, but Percy gave them to Grover instead because Zeus would quite literally probably kill him for flying. The shoes never fit Grover properly because of his hooves which is why they came off and it saved him.

I rarely like adaptations for books I love, so I'm kind of in the middle on this one. I don't love it but I certainly don't hate it either, it's just kind of fine, to me, but like I said I'm a harsh judge. I still hope it does really well and they make all 5 seasons. It also might grow on me, the HP movies did. (Plus I thought they got better, and this show could too.)

[@BassLineProductionsI]

Technically you have to buy your way into Hades, you must pay the ferryman to cross, so thats not unreasonable at all in my mind. I read the books so I know what happens there regardless of where the show goes

[@DanielGarofalo100]

Eric do a Jancie reaction watching Black Sails

[@mlgnerd13]

Mild spoilers for the rest of the book As a kid, I loved the reveal that Hades wasn't the villain. I wasn't really into Greek mythology, and from pop culture, I "knew" that Hades is supposed to be the bad guy, so I didn't even question it while reading. The fact that Rick subverts this and portrays Hades much closer to his usual interpretations in myths worked on so many levels, not to mention the scene where it happens is written so well

[@Alexa_hope]

I feel like if you watch the show first before reading the book you’ll love it but if you read the book before watching the show you’re not gonna like the show that much. Well doesn’t mean that the show is bad but It’s like the lightning thief 2.0 ver and i’m gonna stick with the original ver. The books still superior. It happened to me with harry potter as well tho, I watched the movies before i read the books and i like the movies but after i read the books i realized that the movies weren’t good enough.

[@YC_001]

I have some questions for people who have read the books, did the first book had action? And Percy exploring his powers throughout the journey? Or was it as this season has been, barely any action and Percy basically never exploring his powers? I do know that apparently the fight against Ares is the first time Percy fully uses his powers against a full on god, and I’ve seen from alot of people who’ve read the books that the Percy/Ares fight is amazing in the books, really hope Rick does the fight justice in the series next episode 🤞🏼

[@MarleyGompel]

The first book had action, but it was mainly abt establishing the Percy/Annabeth/Grover trio, Percy learns abt his powers mainly through accidents (Falling into the water at the Arch, Annabeth pushing him in water, Clarisse and co. trying to swirly him). In later books he does explore his powers purposefully and yes the Percy/Ares fight is awesome.

[@YC_001]

@@MarleyGompel Alright then, I can calm down then😂Cuz it’s been annoying me that there’s barely been any action and Percy basically not using his powers, but if the books were similar, ight then...But I really hope they nail that Percy and Ares fight tho🤞🏼

[@WarGrowlmon18]

The first book had action, but it was mostly a few monster fights: Alecto (twice), the Minotaur, Medusa and Procrustes mostly. Percy did have some powers moments, including in the book version of the Tunnel of Love scene (that was completely different to the way that it went in the show), but his one really big use of them in the first book is during his fight with Ares which is gonna be in the finale. It's not until the subsequent books that Percy really starts to learn about his powers and can do big things with them.

[@YC_001]

@@WarGrowlmon18 ight then...Man they better not disappoint with that Ares fight then🤞🏼

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Hopefully not!!! Percy's seriously powerful. I mean in later books he's created a couple of hurricanes and once he caused Mt. Saint Helen's to erupt BY ACCIDENT with him inside of it. Which he survived. Long story, but Percy's friends thought that he died and Percy ended up crashing his own funeral!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@ketchup016 they’ve done reactions where only one person hadn’t seen the movie, so that argument is invalid

In the future do not put I watched the movie as a choice for the poll. The movie is nothing like the book and any information someone has from the movie is almost definitely incorrect/invalid.

[@JaviiBebe]

Zeus is not the most powerful god... he's the one who took the throne... and call himself "King of the gods"

[@Gradestar10]

Actually, among th olympians yes, he's. Several times in th series zeus is stated to be th most powerful god, w/ th most powerful divine abilities n th most destructive weapon. Even gaia refers to zeus as 'th 1st of th gods'. Only on readriordan is it said that he's probably not as powerful as his father n definitely not as powerful as his grandfather. Both in books n in real greco-roman mythology th only other deity that zeus is afraid of is nyx

Janci has really forgotten the books

[@BluePeach0214]

Who could blame her, they change so much from the book that even some other boom readers reactors don’t know what gonna happen in the series, they even need to double check the books for details sometimes, Jancy is not doing that plus I don’t think she’s the equivalent of “Potterhead” in the fandom aka the fans who remembers and knows every single thing. Plus I think she also try not to spoil the story, like some of their other reactions when 1 of them already watch the show and know how everything goes, they still participate in discussions and throw in random guesses/theories just to confuse them, basically not confirming or denying any of their theories.

[@QuibbleTrouble]

@@BluePeach0214 She's definitely trying to avoid spoilers, but you can tell when she remembers things and when she doesn't. I wasn't talking about the minor things, she's forgetting some major stuff and also mixing in some stuff from the movie.
