THE END OF THE BEGINNING | Percy Jackson and the Olympians Reaction Episode 8 | Season Finale

Enjoy this reaction to the season finale of Percy Jackson and the Olympians episode 8!

[@Noxiddar]

**WARNING** EMOTIONALLY RAW REACTION at the end of the video. I just wanted to give a heads up for anyone that may find that a little intense since it's not my usual reaction and would otherwise be unprepared for it. Thank you to this incredible community for embracing me on this journey into your beloved world, that I am now so happy to say is becoming a part of mine! I look forward to the many adventures that await us all! For now, enjoy the reaction!

[@conmanay4563]

In the books, Zeus always wore a suit, so that’s actually correct. I honestly shed a tear when he teleported away, knowing that was the last we’d see of Lance

[@grachisol8236]

There’s a behind the scenes documentary called a hero's journey. It’s super fun to watch especially right after the finale.

[@Noxiddar]

I saw that! I definitely think I'll check it out at some point! Part of me wants to save until after the first book or two before doing any kind of reaction to it! But we'll see!

[@augustbrown9711]

@@Noxiddar Awesome! I would totally understand if you would prefer to read the books before watching the documentary! It may even make it more impactful! 💙

[@witchy.business]

Lance’s passing is so tragic, but what a legendary final performance as king of the gods

[@Noxiddar]

Absolutely, this is really how I felt. What an amazing performance!

[@grachisol8236]

Rick the author mentioned that Lance had a certain gravitas and I strongly agree. He was phenomenal.

[@typo1345]

The looks in Luke and Percy's eyes during the betrayal scene, just... wow. You can see just pure raw pain in Percy's eyes, he genuinely looks like the world has been pulled out from under his feet. And Luke looks just as hurt to SEE Percy like that, hence his quick "I AM your friend. None of this was meant to hurt you" and trying to explain himself. and then Luke's horrified "Annabeth?" when she took off her cap. Percy lost a friend, Annabeth lost a brother, and Luke lost both. All while the fireworks for Percy's victory go off in the back. What a scene. I'm almost surprised to say this, but the show handled the scene better than the book by MILES.

[@Noxiddar]

I really enjoyed the emotional payoff of that scene, too. I'm just starting the books now!

[@heyitsmira17]

As per usual, I came here looking for a fun time and ended up with so much more. I really can't express how much I appreciate the way you express yourself and your thoughts, and I continue to be impressed by the beautiful way in which you see the world. Percy Jackson to me was what you described. A call for adventure, something that made a little greek mythology nerd like me to feel like I belonged. Many friends that I have today, I knew because of Percy Jackson. And I owe a lot of who I am to those books. Going through this journey again has been keeping me going in a time when my mental health honestly is at a very low point. Even though I'm an adult now and I've known this story and these characters for idk how many years, it still moves me and embraces me, and I'm glad you get to feel it too. Really glad I found your channel. You seem to have a beautiful soul. Here's to more adventures!

[@Noxiddar]

This is the highest praise, coming from a fan of the books. It means so much to me to have been included in this community. To be guided through its rich and vibrant storytelling instead of guarded against it. I always think of that meme where it says something like *every boy picking up a stick* and then it shows Aragorn at Helm's Deep holding that boy's blade saying "This is a good sword". I think that meme is the manifestation of my own personality. I'm travel-worn, physically and emotionally weary. My heart has known peaks and valleys, deepest love, and the chasm of despair and isolation. The one thing that has helped me through it all, so much like the words of Poseidon, is that I do not like to be restrained. In moments of my greatest trials and tribulations, I often have to recognize that the cage I feel trapped in is largely of my own making. The key can take on many shapes, whether it be time itself, words of affirmation, encouragement from a friend or loved one, or the stubbornness to never yield. Thank you for the companionship along this reaction journey! I've appreciated it every step of the way! I'd learned to navigate life as a lonewolf years ago. Reactions are teaching me to navigate with questing companions in tow! I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you, and let's make today an adventure. Like the opening lyrics to Curious George says: "You never do know what's around the bend. A big adventure, or a brand new friend..." Have a good day today, tomorrow, and every day that the sun chases opposite horizons, and the moon shines her silver light!

[@helenpetersen447]

As a book fan of 11 years and a fellow Washingtonian, at the age of 22, I have absolutely loved taking this journey with you. It's been a genuine joy to check in with you every week and hear your thoughts as the story progressed. The books were an integral part of my adolescence (I read them quite literally from the age of 12 to 18, when the last main series book came out) and were such a big part of shaping me as a person, my sense of humor, and the values that I hold. It was my biggest hope when the series was announced that it would inspire that same spark to seek adventure and a feeling of belonging in new people, and I'm just so happy that it was able to touch you in that way. Stars and sun light your path

[@helenpetersen447]

P.S. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, delighted to have you join us!

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey I am on and for rediscovering that childlike joy with me as well! I can not say enough how cathartic it is to work through all these emotions I've really suppressed. I had to finish a school year out and be the brave face for fellow students that were hurting. I used to be the guy that craved adventure. I moved to Japan without really knowing any of the language. I felt like Indiana Jones (even dawning a fedora and khakis to explore temples and remote areas around my city of Matsue🤣) and I felt like I'd lost that part of me a long while back. Not unlike Bilbo I'd felt a growing restlessness living my quaint existence in the Shires of the Midwest. I've needed these adventures, and it is bittersweet that I should go on these adventures carrying the spirit of one who had made every day an adventure with me. I'm honestly humbled and so appreciative of the larger worlds I have stepped into, whether fantastical or otherwise. This will always be a beloved memory of mine. Thank you for being part of that chapter of this story. I look forward to the next, and for more adventures with Percy Jackson! May the seas of this life grant you safe passage. And may the tempest calm before you out of respect for the path you take. 💙🔱 Thank you for the warm welcome to Camp Half-Blood!

[@justinsimons4125]

As another kid that grew up in the forests of Washington with no one my age closer than 30 minutes away I absolutely loved this book series as a kid. The movies sucked but starved of a true live action remake I watched them but this series as imperfect as it is I absolutely loved every episode. I hope we get a season for every book but if this is all we get I will treasure it and it will hold a special in my heart. Thanks to the cast, the writers and the whole crew for this show that gives vindication for my favorite book series. Also decided to reread the whole series because of the first 2 episodes.

[@Noxiddar]

I think it certainly would have been mine were I younger when they came out. The Redwall series by Brian Jacques was my jam back in the 90s! Have you ever read those books? I highly recommend them, and they more than hold up even today! I'm far from the home where I grew up, but you'll still catch me wearing that navy and live action green of my Seahawks. Though, truth be told, I was always Mariners fan first and foremost! Thank you for joining me on this journey. It is good to know I have a kindred spirit who has walked some of the steps that I myself have taken. Until the next great adventure! 💙🔱

[@Mugetsu2021]

I love your sincerity and really understanding characters, looking forward to your reading of the book.

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you! I've got the first book ready to go with a notebook beside me ready for today. Good thing I work at a school, they'll all be none the wiser!

[@KaitheKnightly]

I can't wait for you to read the books. I'm rereading them and reading the ones I've missed. So can't wait for more from you going forward.

[@tinaaikaa77]

I am so excited to hear your thoughts on the books! Im reading the first one now myself and its even more than I expected! You will get your adventure there for sure and so much more character development and world building ❤ To your comment on Percys sass, thats one of the reasons why big 3 kids are forbidden. They feel their power and no matter how humble and lovely they would be, the god part of them does come out more or less and can even be dangerous if they cant learn to control it. Annabeth gave us that little clue about Thalia also: She knew she was a forbidden child, but she just didnt care (translated from disney language to normal, She just didnt give a f*ck 😂)

[@Noxiddar]

That does make so much sense! I am definitely prepared to dove into the book world of Percy Jackson! I'll likely be writing my thoughts down beforehand and sharing them with a loose script instead of off the cuff. So that'll be a relief to my nerves. Haha 🤣

[@rodan9769]

I'm so proud of all the young actors in this cast. I remember watching Charlie Bushnell (who plays Luke) in a project a few years ago and just seeing him now a little older and the sheer skill and emotions in his performance is a privilege. All the young actors were brilliant and clearly found their footing throughout. Walker Scobell was just so phenomenonal, the scene with his reunion with Sally where you can just see him break a little while looking at her and how absolutely tough this has been for Percy that he hasn't allowed himself to really express was such phenomenonal acting in one facial expression. He's going to have a bright career in the future (although it is already very bright with all three of his projects being leading roles). All the adult actors were brilliant ofc as well. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I deeply admire your openness at the end!

[@Noxiddar]

This entire production really is to be commended for how much love, passion, and professionalism went into it. So many times, Hollywood churns out a product and it can be so hard to see the art and craftsmanship that went into it, because it was made devoid of love and passion. But not here. I'm looking forward to season 2 and watching how the younger cast grows in their craft and storytelling capabilities! Thank you for being a part of this journey and adventure with me. It's not truly an ending, but a beginning of sorts. And I'm glad that you have become a part of that story that we are in the middle of telling!

[@calebpayne1892]

Im so glad im able to follow along with your journey and your story I know it can be hard for people to open up and speak about their past or experiences in life good and bad this is somthing I tend to strugle with so its almost refreshing to hear thank you for not giving up and continuing to seek adventure in my experience it can be a hard choice to make

[@Noxiddar]

Maybe some day I'll dust off the video I made in June when I decided to give up being a streamer, and just how defeated I was emotionally. I guarantee you wouldn't even believe it is the same person from these videos. It is no small matter to say that reactions, and more importantly, the communities and stories around them, have saved my life. In life, we are always given a choice. Let the force of the tide pull us to our inevitable oblivion, or we can embrace adventure and let that same tide pull us deep into the mystery of the unknown. My hope is that in these experiences people can find a chance to reflect and resolve, like Percy, to be brave (and full of bravado!) Thank you for being a part of this journey. I have immensely enjoyed sharing thoughts and encouragement with you. This was only a small chapter in my life, but a huge climax in the exciting story that is my life. I'm grateful you have chosen to spend your time with me on that journey. Thank you! 🔱

[@mletart7017]

I've loved getting to watch these reactions and hearing your thoughts and insights! I really enjoy your appreciation for the sense of adventure and your positivity! I'm really looking forward to you reacting to the books!

[@Noxiddar]

I really appreciate the kind words! This was such an incredible adventure. It's a perfect first series to complete (for now) on the channel. I'm working on a script for the beginning chapters of PJO: The Lightning Thief! It's already really surprised me. It's going to be fun to share those thoughts (soon)! Thank you for taking the time to be part of this adventure alongside me!

[@DisneyFan16672]

Thanks for sharing your story buddy. I’m so glad these stories have been there for you when you needed them most. Looking forward to your thoughts on the original novels that started it all, and great reaction as always. Take care and God bless. 😊

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for the kind words and the companionship and fellowship on this journey (so far)! I truly do believe that being able to share these reactions with the community has more than enhanced the experience I would have gotten otherwise. Many thanks to you, and onto the next adventure!

[@dsmiles7146]

I just wanted to say how much I love to see your videos, the way that you talk about adventures with so much passion, even in a hard time... how you're open to show your perspectives... It's so fun to know that are others that can go that deep into those stories and talk about how we enter into wonderful worlds, how we experience it, we feel about it... I don't know if you did understand what I'm trying to say, but, for someone that sometimes feels awkward about going too deep emotionally into stories, especially books, and feels that can't really relate to no one around, your videos are really special. know that you reached someone in Brazil lol

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for that honesty. It is a bravery all of its own. I always figure that most other reaction channels will share what they think, and it's always been my goal to share how the experience makes me feel, and that can take me to some unexpected, and downright difficult places, but it's always worth it in the end to go through with it. My journey has always been about appreciation, and while it can be difficult at times to summon the words in the middle of those heavy emotional feels, it's always worth it, even the times I wish I could forget. Deep appreciation isn't always about just the good times. Sometimes, it's about recognizing your place and how you've grown from the bad ones, too. I hope you may always find peace in the appreciation that you have grown in strength and bravery from every event, both good and bad, that make you YOU. I appreciate you. And I thank you for taking the time to be vulnerable here in your own comment, too. We are just getting started in our adventures, and I'm so glad you are here! 🔱

[@shaunessyfeeney]

I know I am late but I am so glad that I found you and I can’t wait to continue watching your videos

[@audreyyanne]

thank you so much for this reaction series, i've enjoyed hearing your insight and stories sm!! you have such a kind and intelligent soul im so glad i found your channel

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for these amazing words. Their power aline at 5 am is worth more than 10 cups of coffee to help start this day! I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to share my thoughts on this reaction journey. I am thankful to have been receptive enough to answer that call to adventure. And incredibly thankful to have had the best people rally around the channel and the videos to enhance this whole experience. That is my thanks for you, and for giving your time and energy to help have shaped and made this such an unforgettable experience for me. Thank you. May the calm seas keep you, and the travel winds always be at your back, to carry you and sustain you until the next great adventure. Which my hope is will be coming soon!

[@nicoleterego]

As usual another great reaction from you. It was nice watching your journey to the percy jackson universe and I'm very excited for the future adventure that awaits you. I really appreaciate your channel being the breath of fresh air from mindless critic I've been seeing about the show. This story is also very personal to me and so seeing other people not appreaciate the story they told through this show kinda breaks my heart a little. But, it doesn't matter. I enjoy the show nonetheless. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It's very brave of you to be able to talk about that with us. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure they are very proud of you for continuing. And I'm glad this show made you feel that way. As for me, the show ending brought me to tears because it started to sink in that the books I dearly love finally have a proper adaptation it deserves. And just like you, this show found me at the right time. It has been a long time since I read the books and so I almost completely forgot how much it made me feel. And now, watching it as an adult, with more experience and have deeper understanding of its themes made me feel so many emotions. They did specially well representing Percy's ADHD, which I was diagnosed only as an adult. Growing up, I was like Percy too struggling to fit in but the difference is that he knows he has adhd growing up. And so the first few episode about him feeling "broken" resonated so much with me. Hearing Sally Jackson's line comforting Percy (even just the hug) feels like healing ny inner child. I really appreciate the show for putting importance to that aspect of him. Anyway, welcome to camp halfblood! Looking forward to your future pjo reactions! ❤ I'm really grateful I found your channel throughout this journey. Hope you can watch/react to the behind the scene making of the show also in Disney+. You'll get to see how much passion and love they put out into making this show a reality.

[@Noxiddar]

I had such a blast watching this story come to life, and to be able to share that same excitement week to week with book fans and non fans alike. I know exactly what you mean about critics and nitpicking. It's part of why I wanted to do reactions my way, without really watching anyone else. My goal is to appreciate. I know there are hundreds and thousands of channels that have dedicated themselves to telling audiences what they think. But in an age of social media, anyone can tell you what they think. I want to tell people how things FEEL. And the best way to do that, in my opinion, is from appreciation that is rooted in authenticity and humility. I've learned a lot in this journey. About what moves me, where I notice my thoughts going, and how those thoughts shape the experience I'm having. My hope is that those ideas I try to manifest into words help elevate the art for all else who can appreciate it. Thank you for being a part of that journey. There are still many more to come (already scripting chapter one reaction/appreciation). It'll be interesting sharing my thoughts through my reading voice, instead of my brain fog impromptu thoughts. The only thing I have on the channel that's like that at the moment is my One Piece Live Action Review. Looking forward to many, many adventures!

[@Timister0902]

Heres my attempt at my thoughts of the show There is a LOT this show did well, this finale stuck the landing on basically everything for me, My few thoughts on what happened throughout, The first reunion with his mom I think thats what actually happened, and it was a genuine reunion, it meant so much to Percy that he was dreaming about it when he got home That scene shows just how much Walker grew during filming, go rewatch the minotaur scene in episode 1, you can tell just how much taller he got Toby Stephens and Lance Reddick were perfectly done, with 5 minutes of screen time you could tell everything they were about. Both fight scenes were done well, and while I wish the Ares fight had 30 more seconds of actual combat, what was there was well done. Lastly, I already watched the hero's journey documentary and thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm not asking for a reaction to it, but I'd really like to hear your thoughts on it in some way, it adds so much personality to everyone.

[@Noxiddar]

I noticed that BTS when I went onto the app. I may consider it, but I may also make a mental bookmark to check it out before the second season too, after I've had a book or two under my belt! I noticed his voice cracks stopped sometime around episode 6 🤣 But I also noticed he had matured in his face considerably in this last episode. He really did grow up fast!

[@annagiambona5211]

The books are so good!! I am sure that you will like them! Great video as always. I hope that a second season will come!

[@Noxiddar]

I'm definitely looking forward to reading them!

[@tialandry172]

I've been looking forward to your reactions every week since you posted the first one. Everything about your videos, your demeanor, your insight, your anecdotes, (and yes, your tangents!) have been such a breath of fresh air. It's also just not easy to be vulnerable online and I'm so amazed at your ability to talk about hard shit with so much grace. Looking forward the chapter reviews, I have a feeling you're gonna love the book :) 💙🔱

[@Noxiddar]

I am truly blown away by your kindness. Gratitude for sticking through my rambling tangents! 🤣 I always aim to bring authenticity to my reaction. I can only get there through appreciation and humility. Sometimes, in that journey of finding appreciation, I have to see the reflection of how I got to where I am, and what difficulty there was along the way. Everything certainly rushed at me all at once there at the end. But I do mean every word of it. It's no small thing to admit that the community's embrace of my journey into Percy Jackson, other stories, and reactions as a whole has been life changing. Comments like yours have sustained me all along the way, and I hope you know just how important it is to me that you share those thoughts. I appreciate you and the time you have taken to be a part of my journey. And I am so grateful the journey does not stop here, this was simply the end of the beginning, now onto new adventures altogether! 💙🔱

Haha, to be fair, I actually watched it after I stopped recording!

Watching you react has been a journey, love watching people interact with a piece I love so much for the first time and understanding it and putting your own experience and feelings to it! 💖✨ subscribe very fast and I will be watching more! As a writer myself I love your perspective on things✨wish you the best, blessings!🙏🏽

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for the wonderful thoughts and encouragement! I've really needed these adventures, and I'll certainly be needing more after that incredible season finale! I've been reading through the first book and jotting notes as I go, so I really look forward to being able to share what pops out to me at some point! I'm excited for the future and all the paths that are opening to me. Thank you for meeting me and traveling with me upon the path. It's an honor to be able to share my appreciation with others and have that appreciation reciprocated from the various communities I've come across! Thank you again. Until the next adventure!

[@galenthom]

You also missed the scene of Percy waking up and saying he had a dream of his grandpa and Sally says not to call Chronos that.

[@Noxiddar]

I actually didn't. I just made some heavy cuts in the edit. I don't show the entire episode... did you miss that?

[@galenthom]

@@Noxiddar yes I did. I found it quite funny and really wanted to see your reaction to it.

[@raulgarcia5090]

I love your videos and they make me so happy and I hope you don't quit anytime soon because you're one of my favorite

[@raulgarcia5090]

Percy Jackson was one of my favorite book series since I am autistic and I love these videos cuz it reminds me of a child that I had when I was younger reading these books to escape from the pain and suffering and I felt when I was younger because my parents will alcohol look at a druggie I'm happy that you made these videos because you're one of my favorite KZbinrs now so thank you

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We reached the end of season one of Percy Jackson, but our adventures in the Percy Jackson universe are only just beginning! It is a tremendous honor to know that not only do you enjoy the videos, but they have resonated with you on some level. I look forward to the many adventures that await us! I'm not quitting anytime soon!

[@faithtrustandpixidust]

thank you so much for your in-depth thoughts on the series, and for sharing the application to your personal journey. i’ve loved watching your reactions! you’ve shown how insightful you are in reflecting on the deeper messages, appreciating all its ups and downs, and commenting on the amazing work from actors and producers that went into it. even as someone who has read the books and already knew the story, every moment hit so hard for me as well. i wonder, did you already predict the twist with luke (or were you spoiled) ? i thought the show handled that particular situation incredibly well, even though how it went down in the books is a bit different. you’ll notice the changes when reading, but if you’re anything like me you’ll be able to appreciate the reasoning behind those changes in terms of improving the pacing and optimizing emotional pay-offs. i look forward to your book break downs and how it measures up to the show for you. agreed with everything else you had to say in all these reactions as well, the casting choices and performances were so good, especially considering more than half of them are still kids and developing their skills. the script writers knew what they were doing and carried out a clear vision, and i love that you can tell Rick had a big role in everything. that spirit of adventure and call to action carried throughout, and i know i will be rewatching this show all year as we wait for season 2! (sorry this comment is all over the place lol, i’m commenting as i watch) thanks again for sharing your thoughts and reactions, i look forward to watching them again for the next season!

[@Noxiddar]

Thank you so much for sharing all of these thoughts! I'm absolutely looking forward to the chapter analysis. Mostly because I have no idea what I'm doing. I probably won't watch anyone else do a chapter analysis either, so my format will probably be all over the place (which I'm sure you've noticed my reactions are too!) Thankfully enough, I didn't have Luke's involvement spoiled for me! But I do think that Luke being in Chiron's office and how quick everyone jumped at Clarisse without proof. Harry Potter taught me better than that. Anytime the finger points to a suspect early on, it's usually a misdirection. But I still appreciated the build-up to the reveal! I didn't want to seem too obnoxious that I'd figured it out. Nobody is watching to pat me on the back for that. 🤣 Sometimes, it's more fun to let things play out the way the storyteller intends. And I think this was such a case. The misty eyes Luke had when Percy finally accused him of being the lightning thief was SOO well done. I'd probably have stopped to talk more about it had I not just rambled on earlier about how the eyes convey so much in acting, and how acting from the eyes enhances the performance so much more. This cast and this story, well, the ENTIRE production really felt like such a cohesive package. And I don't think you arrive at a production like this unless it starts from love, extends to passion, and ultimately fun at the surface. This show embodied all three from the very first episode. I'm so impressed, and it certainly served its purpose to bring in even more general audiences into this imaginative world! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's honestly my favorite part about the KZbin reaction journey. Watching things and saying how I feel is fun, and seeing views and likes are all good and well, but I thoroughly enjoy the vicarious experiences I get to have as I, for a handful of words at a time, get to view the wirld from another perspective. Comments like this make the experience so special. I can't thank you enough, but I'll sure try! 🔱 - Nox

[@faithtrustandpixidust]

@@Noxiddar yeah agreed on all of it! i’ve seen a few non-book reader reactors who were completely shocked, but i knew not everyone would be. heard on the harry potter comparison lol, i can see why that would make u more wary. i’m glad you didn’t give away that you already knew early on since some ppl watching your previous videos might not have predicted it yet. the acting was incredible, and yes, the eyes say it all! walker does that so well in all his scenes! i’ll definitely be tuning in for the chapter reviews, chaos and all!

[@julienaruse1721]

Seeing a god's true from in mythology is lethal for humans. Their power in true form is so uge it would desintegrate an human being.

[@Noxiddar]

That makes sense. Like how they'd tie ropes to priests in temples that would enter the "holy of holies" inner sanctum and be struck dead to look upon the countenance of God. It's quite crazy to think about and to imagine! I'm sure there's an Amcient Aliens episode that explains this. 🤣

[@bitobytebot5622]

I whimpered when I heard the commander 😢

Eyes up, Guardian. He was power personified that elevated his beautiful soul. Fitting, he should be given god-like status before the end. 💙 Zeus. King of the gods no less!

The Book? Really? PLEASE DO DO DO!

[@megangoodrich3838]

Im 31 and reading the books for the first time (minus the first, i read it in hs). I love them so much, currently in 3 and its my fav so far. Ive been annotating them cuz the srory is so fun. Lmk if you wanna do something together with the books. Reguardless, super excited for the chapter annalysis vids.

[@Noxiddar]

I am curious to see which part of me wins over more in the analysis. The educator who finds a new understanding in the students that have been so excited by the books and series, or will the young adventurer growing up in the forests of Washington state win over? After all, every stick is a sword, and ever step an adventure for the young at heart, and as I wander into the sunset of my 30s, I know deep under that grown exterior, there is still a flash of a younger, wilder, and more free-spirited Nox waiting for the permission to set off on the journey. With any luck, aspects of both will come out, so I can show the whole breadth of my appreciation for a good story. Please keep me posted on your journeys as well!

[@megangoodrich3838]

@Noxiddar Yes! For me it has been thoroughly enjoying the adventure, heart, and complexes that come full circle. I briefly wished I had stuck with the series when I was in hs but I am glad that I get to full on fan girl about it now and consume the book and show at the same time. Rick Riordan has definitely become a favorite author of mine.

[@meganherrly8817]

Whats the song at the end during the raw emotion talk? Its beautiful

[@Noxiddar]

I had to go deep into my music folders to find it, but I did! The song is "I See You" by Hampus Naeselius. I found it going through the music library on Epidemic Sound. It really is such an epic concluding song!

[@galenthom]

You missed the after credits scene of Gabe.

[@Noxiddar]

I caught that after I stopped recording. I did see it, though!

[@galenthom]

@@Noxiddar I found that Gabe really deserved that. He was such an annoying person.

[@penguin50279]

one thing i hate that they left out is how abusive Gabe was physically and emotionally.

[@Noxiddar]

I'm definitely interested to see these characters as they exist in the books, for sure!

[@KaitheKnightly]

I blame Disney, they don't like those sort of things.

[@Andjelka99]

​@@KaitheKnightly Rick too. He felt like actually seeing it live action might be too much. But he might be just saying that
