Percy Jackson and the Olympians RECAP: Season 1

[@kj3105]

Watched all the episodes when they dropped, but since its The Man of Recaps, gotta show support😂❤

[@othnielotuotwumasi1523]

Facts!

[@marlonbascombe3427]

Pure facts

[@charlie603]

Defo

[@salinahonyeugo2490]

Same

[@AbelKessie]

I watched two eps then dropped it

[@kj3105]

You missed the best scene Smelly Gabe turning into stone in the post credits😂

[@donchik26g54]

But like why, the character in the show was just some asshat, not someone that Sally HAD to marry to protect Percy. In the show Gabe is portrayed as someone she CHOSE to marry, not for Percy. Then Gabe is just an asshole, that’s it. Him turning to stone is the death of a man that’s a bit unsavory. He’s a not violent unhinged criminal, but some asshole that’s just killed.

[@en2336]

@@donchik26g54 Well it's different in the books...I agree the show failed...They fail to show that Percy takes note of his mom flinching at Gabe indicating physical abuse. They make him out to be a bum rather than a horrible “father”

[@tahuaroa]

“You’re a wizard Harry” 😂❤❣️

[@JJJBunney001]

Man that scene with his mum dying was just check-list "parent has to die to to unlock some skill or drive"

[@NCRDesertRanger]

That's what happened in the damn book

[@LolSoT]

In the book it makes a bit more sense

[@LKYHGaming]

Typical Disney

[@screamthesecond2nd]

have u heard of the hero's journey archetype?

[@isaacbrown7936]

it was actually raining and water powers him up

This is like, the third recap _this week!_ 2024: Year of The Man of Recaps!

[@spongeyGG]

“And that’s a problem for season 2” 😂

[@Benjamin-z2y6m]

Thank you so much for recapping this the books and this show mean the world to me keep up the good work

[@othnielotuotwumasi1523]

Hey man of recaps. When you have the time, could you do recaps of old series like Merlin/legend of the seeker or even scandal ? I think people who have missed out on these would love this!

[@wolfy6815]

Yes, a recap of Merlin would be fantastic.

[@journeysands2622]

Legend of the seeker was very good imo

[@onuhrita5009]

I would love a legend of the seeker

[@arinleoczko1250]

Medusa being played by Excess, and motherfucking EDGE playing Ares was FANTASTIC.

[@heylookitsliam]

"they don't see eye to eye" YEAH NO JOKE SHES MEDUSA

[@nvv2452]

I am a huge fan of Percy Jackson was ever since I saw the movies as a child. The series is a big part of my childhood and means a lot to me so I was really happy when the TV show got announced. Watched the first season and LOVED IT!❤ And I decided to buy the second book which season 2 will cover, I'm about to read it rn but first I came here to Man of Recaps to refresh my memory so thank you dude I love you ans your content been a fan for years thx for all the hard work you do for us man❤🙏🏼

[@Naruto-rv9mh]

Loved the show especially some added scenes with Percy’s mom and Grover and ares scene.Medusa’s episode was also very brilliant

[@jazzinikki01]

I already watched the show when it came out. But your recaps are so entertaining 👏🏾😂😁

[@queentasty]

I knew this was the only way I was going to watch this show 😂

[@sonofvenus1621]

I agree. I tried to watch it made it to the medusa episode not only because I just didn't have the time but this version of Percy.. and I don't know how to put this any nicer was a winey little bitch every scene. At least in the 2010 version I felt that version of Percy had some confidence. So the man of recaps was the way to go for the rest of it. If he didn't do this breakdown I wouldn't have watched the rest of it.

[@queentasty]

@@sonofvenus1621 Lmao, yes

[@TheSonamuTree]

@@sonofvenus1621i agree. The reason why pjo books were so popular is because of percy's personality. And the show doesnt show it at all

[@pinhead39494]

Awesome series, can't wait for a new season!

[@KnightRaymund]

Punished with dealing with these kids totally sober, lol.

[@MatthewWatson-b2l]

Edge being the god of war makes way more sense than it should

[@surelyshane]

Your vid s as always are on point and always make me laugh. Your awesome dude,and bring back the mutton chips😂

[@Super165i]

That’s Lin Manuel Miranda from the Hamilton as Hermes. He’s wearing tack suit which is what I expected Hermes to suit

[@BP-ef8mr]

Man of Recaps is working his little tushie off! Woo!!

[@Pluto-c4q]

I loved the show, cant wait for a second season!

[@scvzc]

when will it be released?

[@Pluto-c4q]

[@jenng1770]

Awesome recap. ^_^ Now I can go back and understand some of the smaller things.

[@tagus100]

Nothing will beat the first Percy Jackson movie when they go into the casino and Poker Face starts playing.

[@minswagg5929]

Best😌

[@plantyoflove54]

The movie was the best but judging by this recap i think it explains alot of things for me and i like how they brought hades and medusa to justice unlike other greek myth movies

[@IESA-edits]

Like how Hades is just a chill guy

[@phatkiddre]

Great recap!

[@jamescoogan1137]

One correction Luke’s mum isn’t dead. If anything her fate is far worse.

[@anonymousvids2146]

I forgot, what happened?

[@kirared6932]

​@@anonymousvids2146 insanity

[@CrownedFish]

​@@anonymousvids2146 answer to your question (book and potential future season 5 spoilers)... She tried to become an oracle as a mortal (the mortal part is kinda irrelevant tho because most oracles were humans, such as rachel dare or the oracle of delphi) at camp half-blood and became insane after witnessing luke being possessed by kronos.

[@irwinbraithwaite7247]

She went insane because of the Curse Hades put on the Oracle. Plus the fact that she wasn’t a virgin didn’t help either.

[@ignisofficialgaming]

I’m keen to see how they handle it in season 5 since it has the potential to be one of the best storylines in the show

[@rollingbaguette]

I did not expect Edge to have this level of acting skills tbh, not after seeing Money Plane at least

[@owenrigotti6592]

you always make the series/movies actually somewhat watchable. thank you, I was pretty disappointed with this show, especially considering Rick Riordan worked on it.

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

Dosa Zeus even show up in book 2? I only remember that he comes back in book 3 and 5

[@BeSai]

@Melanie-jy2nw oh okay. I haven't read the books so I guess they have a crap ton of time to get the All-State guy

[@michaelr5828]

You work fast. I like it

[@beastlymarek]

5:03 great video, but without spoiling it, Luke’s mother is still alive. Her death is not shown in any of the books, but she did suffer a fate worse than death and Hermes hates himself for it too

[@agentbluedino1396]

I love anything that’s Greek mythology

[@purgejmi]

Besides the casino scene and 90% of the childhood flashbacks, this series was much better then the movies. I hope we get all 5 seasons the show creators want to make.

[@brianbrooks5366]

Can’t lie this definitely makes up for the lightning thief movie they made This series is gonna be good

[@TheJadeDemon]

Question? For casting would Eric Andre as pan be perfect or would it be better if pan is Danny devito? 😊

[@fmradio2099]

Gotta do Xmen the animated series at some point before the Xmen 97 drops.

I hope you do an X-Men: The Animated Series recap before the new sequel series comes out. As someone born after that show ended I don't really want to watch the whole thing. Your recaps are usually the best thing for such stuff. Hope you do one soon.

Yes! Finally,you get around to one of my requests. Although you did get one wrong. In the show and book they NEVER say Luke Mom's dead. Only that she saw something that made her nuts,kay? Love ya bro,but ya gotta check your facts. Actually surprised you didn't mention that Ares's played by WWE Superstar EDGE. Like,really? No Rated R Superstar joke or nothin.

no he was there

[@journeysands2622]

No they didn't. He was just lame. The casting in the film was superior

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

He was there, they played him as more of a loser here as they didn’t want to make a violent abusive asshole more real to the children (something like that). In the end, he turns to stone from Medusa’s head like in the book but this time, it’s entirely his fault.
