Top 5 Saddest Moments in Percy Jackson

[@pjoworld]

How many times did you cry when reading these scenes😅

[@ДаниилАз-я3т]

A lot

[@devonj6144]

All of these scenes hurt. I could feel it in my heart, and it hurt, a lot.💔😭

[@pelicandictator6139]

A scene that I honestly cried multiple times was during the House of Hades in tartarus when Percy fights the curses and apologizes to Bob about keeping a secret that Bob was actually Iapetus. There was so much build up and a lot of it exploded during that scene

[@pjoworld]

@@pelicandictator6139 Totally! That scene made Percy face all of his mistakes and showed us everything he felt guilty of. I should've added that in the video but I guess I forgot lol

[@sonofhades9349]

I cried many times, out of these i cried at least once except the 4th one.

[@poseidons_child.]

Lines that’s hit me: “Promise me one thing. Whatever happens, when you return to Olympus, when you become a god again. Promise me that you will remember what’s it’s like to be human.” -Jason “GO! REMEMBER!” -Jason “I can see the stars again m’lady.” -Zoe “Hey. Where’s…where’s my sister?” -Nico “Where’s Jason?” -Leo “Family, Luke. You promised.” -Annabeth “Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood.” -Percy “Tell the stars and sun I said Hello.” -Bob “Bob says hello.” -Percy “I had a crush Percy Jackson! That’s the truth! That’s the big secret!” -Nico “Hey. I told you I had a plan. When are you guys going to trust me? And by the way-I love you guys.” -Leo Hope y’all enjoyed crying.

[@pjoworld]

Oh wow! these are so good. if I ever make a video about the top 10 quotes or something I’m definitely using this lol

[@poseidons_child.]

@@pjoworld Ngl, I whipped out BoO and HoH when I was writing some of these.

[@ok14793]

"You want secrets?, here" -Nico

[@shahishnusureshkumar248]

Hazel and Leo talking about Sammy was also good

[@milowestmoreland8281]

I always felt like Percy and Nico worked better as cousins like how they’re depicted in fanfics including Thalia too

[@suckitgreenboiiiii1921]

​@•”Eve”• how come? Poseidon and Hades are brothers tho?

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

"Bob says hello." "The memory of her smile was already fading." "You're not getting away from me. Never again." + "As long as we're together." "I can see the stars again my lady." + "Stars."

[@karmankaur6243]

I feel that the death of the god Pan is underrated. Dang was that scene sad.

[@solangelo_shipper2630]

I know!!!! As someone who rarely ever cries while reading things, I felt myself tearing up reading this scene, Zoe's death, and Nico getting outed

[@lostcitieseditz4044]

I'm only on battle of the labyrinth, just finished, and so far Bianca/zoë's death were the saddest for me. The last Olympian will break me... won't it?

[@-._.-What-Is-Up-._.-]

@@lostcitieseditz4044 Just Read HOO and TOA series too, it has really sad moments than PJO

[@avareid7283]

Leos story always hits me hard. The quote " Humor was a good way to hide the pain" Will always make me close to tears

[@epicremixer76]

What book is that quote from? I can't find it.

[@puppies3330]

I think it was lost hero

[@trxd4r]

@@epicremixer76 the beginning of the lost hero. find the chapter where he’s getting shown around his cabin, it’s probably the first chapter in his POV, but yeah, it’s close to the end of that one.

[@joaopedrodurand5325]

Hot take but the whole scene with Caligula saying ''This isnt a game Apollo'' and killing Jason is in the top 10 moments in Riordanverse for me. And what really got me was the scene of Piper crying and cursing Apollo while holding Jason's body. What a great book !!

[@pjoworld]

And Leo’s reaction really got me too. That was so sad

[@Fantasy.28.doitallagain]

@@pjoworld Leo's reaction got me crying for like 10 min straight

[@poseidons_child.]

[@sp3ctre238]

I always found killing Jason to be useless, but is was a great book

[@IAmBored654]

@@sp3ctre238 if u read the tower of Nero u would understand

[@kalpanaravishankar8037]

The fact that Piper and Leo never got to say goodbye to Jason honestly killed me

[@pjoworld]

Even worse is the fact that Leo never even got to see Jason again after he died in the Blood of Olympus

[@kalpanaravishankar8037]

Exactly!! 😭😭😭

[@Moonlit-Demon]

Read Percy Jackson, they said. It's a fun and light-hearted book, they said.

[@sweetggls]

😭

[@luanpablo8809]

I'm Brazilian, when I started reading Percy Jackson I was 12 years old and internally I cried a lot when Zoe died, she was one of my favorite characters along with Calypso, Rachel, Piper, Reyna, Hazel and Annabeth

[@pramitiagarwal3270]

I think the part where Hazel and Leo have that Sammy flashback is really sad as she finds out how Sammy had felt after her disappearence and she relives it all

[@nikkiekrenkova7264]

There is even more sad about Percy his abusing step father beating his beloved mother. That Thalia lost Jason when their starting get to know each other after their reunion she grew up thinking her mother killed Jason as baby. Jason seeing his future with Piper having grandkids. Nico losing his mother his sister loving someone that never be his, being gay and growing up in 1940 Italy... Or for me that Jason died but Frank survived.... SO UNFAIR

[@Woahwhoisthis712]

They’re all so sad, I can’t choose

[@cameronsitton501]

I don't think Frank deserved to die, and I certainly wouldn't have liked it, but narratively (especially after Jason's death) it would have been narratively sound.

[@luigiygo8602]

Kinda an hot take but Jason's death was my favorite scene in the whole riordanverse. It's a perfect ending for Jason's arc and it shows that Caligula ain't just a showman, someone who likes to have fun. As Apollo said he doesn't pretend to kill. And people just hate on Jason for not having enough development but I think most do not understand how much pain he endured. He was Hera's toy for all his life, he had all his memories deleted and was put into an environment where everyone thought they knew him. He had to build a relation with Piper basically from 0 after she thought he loved her. And after all he suffered in HoO (he also thought Leo died at the end), he managed to have an happy life with Piper for some time, only to lose everything again. He couldn't keep his relationship with Piper for Hera's fault, since she created all these memories and manipulated him from the beginning, and then he died.

[@epicremixer76]

It was your WHAT scene?

[@-._.-What-Is-Up-._.-]

I think actually Besides Hera/Zeus , Piper was the character who made him both Happy and Really Sad

[@ThatRandomBookNerd]

No. No. No. This made me cry- my eyes were watering the whole time and then the end- WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME THAT JASON NEVER SAW LEO AGAIN- AND HE DIDN'T SAY GOODBYE- 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

[@kingofparrots_]

😭 this is so sad and it brings back so many memories come back

[@SamairaPuri-h8j]

percabeth falling in to tartarus is the saddest scene for me I JUST- AGSDFGFDSDFGFCXSERFTRFTFT

[@tagentnormal6850]

Jason death didn't strike me as hard as Zoe's death. I think the reason is his character arc is missing. His internal struggle and conflict was not written good enough for me to cry for his death. I always cry when I revisit the part that percy has to give up his mother probably because the arc is so natural and complete. I think Rick didn't do Jason justice. He didn't write him well enough before he killed him and this make me sad.

[@pjoworld]

Honestly for me Jason's death was the only scene that made me cry, but I get what youre saying. I think it was hard to give Jason enough screen time to fully develop his character because Rick was constantly switching between multiple character's perspectives in the Heroes of Olympus and Jason was only a side character in ToA

[@notyou.3741]

For me thats why its so sad. It shows how he mever fot to live a full life, and how he was all just a toy for Hera, wich she trows away. He never recovered his memories completely, and bcus of Hera's plan, never got to experience real love. What he had with Piper was love, but only in time of war, and bcus Hera forced it on them. He was the biggest wictim of Hera's plan, bcus he never got to live whitout it.

[@bruhda7469]

Agreed

[@badkitty73]

The moment when Percy said that he was crying and calling for his mother shattered my heart into pieces

[@jah2017]

I see everyne telling when they cried during the series and now I feel like an emotionless fool because I never cried during this series.💀 Great video anyways and if you notice some day you don't have any ideas for videos, here is one: best quotes from every main character and the most important side characters. My personal favorite is: "Shoot, i love nature. nature means big things killing and eating little things! and when you’re a -you know- vertically challenged satyr like me, you get in good shape, you carry a big stick, and you don’t take nothing from no one! that’s nature." As a pretty short person this actually inspired me to start working out, although I haven't found the big stick to carry yet...😂

[@pjoworld]

Don’t worry I didn’t cry for most of them either. And thanks for the video idea! I’ll definitely keep it in mind if I run out of vids to make

[@Fantasy.28.doitallagain]

I didn't cry like at all except reading the part with Zoe

[@jah2017]

Ya I was just joking but it's weird that I've lost the ability to be sad about somethong that happened in a book.

[@Fantasy.28.doitallagain]

@@jah2017 yeah. My sister cry's at all DreamWorks movies and I don't and she's like how the heck are you not Crying?

[@karencrane4214]

Wow just Wow, wish I had more words, hiding behind memories, smiles and tears

[@ufuksnmez98]

I cried the most reading Titan's Curse.

[@speedyman5276]

In my opinion nico had the saddest story, his mother died, than his sister died and for so long he had to live with the pain until Jason became his friend but when Jason died in trials of Apollo, nico was probably back to stage 1

[@bloomleaf8310]

honestly jasons death probably affected him but i don't think it would have as much as the others, he is probably the only one that might ever get to have any closure with him, he did see beckondorf after he died who he was not nearly as close to

[@Stormtrooper165]

Percy and Leo, both use humor to cover up the pain. They both experienced.

[@kristinahristova4972]

This is so sad. I cried at everyone's death. Also, there's something I've always wondered. Ik it's a stupid question but are Percy and Nico friends. Ik that Nico felt betrayed and stuff and he had a crush on Percy but does Nico now actually consider him a friend or am I being biased towards Percy a bit too much?

[@pjoworld]

Nico forgave Percy in the Heroes of Olympus, so they are definitely friends now. But before that, there was a quote that Nico said which went something like, "I hated Percy Jackson. I hated myself". I think he said it in the House of Hades, so he probably didnt consider Percy a friend for some time

[@kristinahristova4972]

Thanks

[@novakajsa2556]

I don't know.. I think Nico forgave Percy in the The Last Olympian. Like Nico's character arc was to forgive him after Bianca's death. And in the end of the last book they reached that stage and they became friends. That's a whole other story what happened in hoo because in that series Nico got reset in to his fourth book self. (the labirynth thingy I don't know what the english title is) So yeah, like this is my opinion, and sorry for grammar mistakes my native language is not english

[@solangelo_shipper2630]

@@novakajsa2556 nah, your grammar is a lot better than most native English speakers, good job

[@doctorh6112]

I think they are friends but not really close. People portray them very close on fanfics but I think Nico is a closer friend of Apollo than Percy and Percy is closer friend of Grover than Nico. Same with Thalia and the Hunters. They are family but don’t enjoy spending time together

Jason's Death :

[@tommytom8255]

😢

[@arnewengertsmann9111]

These books always make me remember the quote (not sure who said it): Gods (or here rather the Gods) only excuse is, that he doesn't exist. I think it fits as well for the ancient greek gods. They are the cumulative agregate of human nature. The good and the bad. So I would probably have some choice words for them, if I ever met them. Because if there is something bad in such power that will always prove catastrophic. As it always did in Greek mythology.

To be honest, although I like the Percy Jackson world I don't like how Rick portraits Hercules. I understand he wanted to make Percy a more modern hero but to make him that much of an asshole was too much in my opinion.

[@MC_Guy]

That's kinda how they were in the mythology though. They weren't meant to be noble

[@jimkol8799]

@@MC_Guy, yes because Greek mythical characters are very anthropomorphic. So they can be virtuous on one occasion but unethical on an other. In fact, there is a legend which most people tend to ignore. Hercules was tested by Kakia, the spirit of vice, and Arete, the spirit of virtue. The two offered him a peaceful death but forgotten or die horribly but forever remembered. He chose the 2nd. I don't say he was a Saint, but he always admitted that he had help in some of his labors.
