I hate the movies and love the books like every true fan.

Obviously the best thing to come out of the Percy Jackson movies was the Poker Face scene at the Lotus Casino. Clearly it's what the Poker Face music vid should've been. It's so much of an acid trip of a masterpiece that it belongs in the Louvre. The scene lives in my head rent-free

If there's one thing they got right in the movie, it was the Lotus Casino. They really showed how the place puts you in a state where you completely lose track of time and never want to leave.

Percy forming a trident out of water at the end of the movie is really cool, and it's a shame he never did it in the books.

Although the acting is somewhat wooden, I actually like the casting, especially the main trio. Despite the age gap with their literary counterparts, I think they’re all pretty endearing. I kinda hope that they’ll be involved in the new Disney+ show in some way. They deserve better scripts.

I did like those moments that you listed, but I was expecting to see Percy seeing map lines on top of the water. In the books, they only say that Percy knows where they are, but they don’t explain how very well. Aside from that, the Sea of Monsters film was almost as bad as the cursed child .

Are we not gonna talk about how amazing and creative they made Percy's sword riptide's transformation from pen to the sword. I know it's different from the books, but the movie version really was pretty nice.

I’m one of those that only heard of the story thx to the films 🎥. While the movies didn’t do so good, there were more parts I personally liked I can list. 1) Percy healing others through water that wasn’t in book. 2) The humor in the motel, “Guys, I can’t pee with her watching me”. 3) When they go to the Underworld, “What will u do! I’m already in Hell”. And 4) The cgi in both films was good too.

also Logan Lehram emerged as a solid actor especially in perks of being a wallflower

Here's a #8 for you: There is no way in Tartarus that Rick Riordan is EVER going to once again sign the same sort of rights deal that gives all the power and creative control over his intellectual property to a bunch of execs who didn't have to listen to his input. And who think they know better than the author. Thanks to the Peter Johnson movies, you KNOW that Rick is in the driver's seat for the upcoming "...and the Olympians" show.

There was also one small good moment you mentioned in one of your videos about the films. When Percy sees those lines in the sea, showing that he’s able to read it like a map

The best thing about the movies is my anticipation and excitement for the Percy Jackson adaptation. I am so eagerly waiting for the series. If the Peter Johnson movies didn't fail so badly, I may not have been as excited. Anyways my heartiest regards to the movies for doing some good.

2 more things that I liked in the movies was the adaptation of the underworld that houses everyone’s lost hopes and dreams. I also liked how when riptide changed into a sword it came out all mechanically instead of just popping into a sword.

Although these movies are absolutely atrocious adaptations, they are not bad as standalone movies. I really liked some parts like what they did with persephone’s pearls in the first movie. It gave the film direction and kept the characters moving from one place to another, unlike in the book where their only directions were “go west”.

I actually enjoy the first one quite a bit, partially because I saw it before the books and it was actually what made me read the books so it’s got a special place in my heart. The second one can go to hell.

I have some additional things that I liked about the movies 1. The Colchis Bull fight scene in Sea of Monsters. Despite how much the movie changed about the way the fight went down, I still think that the action was well was well directed and that the bull itself was well-animated. 2. Some of the jokes. While the jokes in the films are pretty hit-or-miss, you can't deny that lines like "this is a pen" and "those are working-class Americans" are comedy gold 🤣 3. Some of the actors. The main half-bloods were obviously way too old, but the gods and monsters were pretty well cast. Stanley Tucci was especially great as Dionysus, and Nathan Fillion gave a good performance as Hermes too. Ron Perlman wasn't bad as Polyphemus either. 4. The way Kronos is animated. Kronos appearing in the second movie was a pretty bad decision, but if it's any consolation, he was at least cool-looking. I did admittedly like the whole thing where he's slowly reassembling, and his legs disassemble when he raises them and reassemble when he lowers them

I love Percy Jackson, it’s one of my comfort book series, and these movies did not do justice. I’m excited for the Disney+ adaptation, maybe you could make a video on things you’re excited about with the new adaptation!!

The first movie might be a bad adaptation, but it's still a nice movie when you see it as an original story loosely based on the book.

I will also say the same that I knew about Percy Jackson's series from the adaptation movie. At first I thought the movie is great, but later I understand why people really despise the adaptation.

I watched the movie first, and it what introduced me to the books. And while the movie was okay, I remember really liking the soundtrack.

I heard about the first movie saw it, saw that it was a book, got confused by all the differences, learned that there were more and then I got really into the books in 8th grade. Really looking forward to the TV series.

Also the Lotus Eaters actually eating Lotus shaped food was pretty clever. I have to say I’m a reaally big fan of Rick Riordan‘s works and if it weren’t for the movie I would never have heard of the books. Horrible adaptations but actually pretty decent stand alone movies and a great eye catcher for future fans

Theres so much adventure and urgency in the books, which just inst present in the films

i liked the change where instead of percy removing the cap of the pen he clicks it a small detail but i thought it was worth mentioning

I would like to request a video essay on Avatar the Last Airbender’s legacy, specifically, on how the show helped influenced other cartoon shows like The Dragon Prince, ATLA’s spiritual successor on Netflix and Arcane, the ATLA of the 2020’s

I knew about the books wayyyy before the movies and I gotta say I'm glad that I do because it allowed me to experience the awesomeness that is the Percy Jackson series through the original source material

I'll admit I did like the mid-credits scene because it has Gabe's death be the result of his own stupidity instead of Sally just dropping the head on the table. I always love it when bad characters (as in characters who are bad people) are their own undoing.

I think that they did Mr. D pretty good too

I am obsessed with Percy Jackson and I was very disappointed when the movies were almost nothing like the books 🙁 but the actors are amazing 🤩

MovieFlame: 7 GOOD Things That Came Out of the Percy Jackson Films Percy Jackson fans: *You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!* People may criticize us all they want for censoring things from our citizens, but we are in the right for not letting them watch these horrendous movies

I like how Riptide is a click pen rather then a capped pen, seems more cinematic and you can do more interesting stuff with it. Like when he threw it in the mechanical bull as it was transforming

Finally a Percy Jackson video can you talk more about the upcoming show there is SO MUCH updates

Even though I’ve only read the first book, I’m so hooked. Thank you MovieFlame for introducing me to the seris

Can’t wait to see the upcoming Walker Scobell led and Rick Riordan involved Disney+ series.

Imagine seeing Medusa in your fridge 😆

I originally subscribed to you for harry potter content but then u started posting Percy Jackson and i started loving your channel more. Percy Jackson is my favorite and first book series keep doing the good work

Being an older guy, I never knew these were based on books until 4 or 5 years ago. I saw both movies on HBO, and I greatly entertained by the first movie, but the 2nd one was somewhat disappointing. In a way, I think the criticism I heard about these movies is the same criticism I heard, and felt, about the Harry Potter movie Prisoner of Azkaban for many years, which I only started appreciating more about 4 years ago.

Ah yes smth about percy jackson

I was introduced to this series by your videos

Tbh i saw the first movie before i had even heard of a book series. So in my young eyes, it was really good (due to loving mythology). Cant wait to see how the upcoming Series will look like.

The performances in the movies where decent enough, but I wished that they'd kept the characters as twelve year olds, rather than trying to age them up to 16-17, especially when it was clear that Alexandra and Brandon were already in their twenties by then.

Can yo make an update on the series great content though keep it up morgan

I never really planned on reading the books, but now I think I will.

Your comparing Harry Potter and Percy Jackson video actually introduced me to Percy Jackson so thank you cus now its easily my favourite books

The "this is a pen, THIS IS A PEN" line was pretty funny

I think you could add the comedy aspect as well. I mean my friend literally wants me to repeat that scene with annabeth where they say "I always win." Annabell. "And i always loose." Prissy. And the "The living are not permitted die and come back." was funny. And grover saying the joke about knowing some dead people and showing cash was funny.

I really think the way camp half blood was made in the films was pretty cool, except from the lightning thief where there is a archery range next to the infirmary, I think archery is really cool but coming from both parents who studied nursing, I feel like it's a safety hazard, and I actually am disgusted on how they made Hades a bad guy in the films when he's one of the gods who never even caused harm in earth, I really want someone who makes a greek mythology movie where Hades isn't a horrible man, but I did enjoy the movie but it was before my mom got me the whole collection of Harry Potter books that did made me realize that there are differences in both books and movies, but I won't hold it against people who like the movies, cause it's their opinion not mine.

Do a video explaining the 20 cabins of Camp Half-Blood and its campers.

Let’s go more Percy Jackson content but please please make a the life of Jason Grace video I’ve been asking for months

Even though the movies were terrible some of the things you mentioned in the video were some of the coolest parts from them. Personally, and I can't believe you didn't talk about it, one of my favorite parts of The Lightning Thief was the beginning with Poseidon rising out of the sea and his interaction with Zeus on the Empire State Building. Either way, great video and I can't wait to see you do more for Percy Jackson, like a video listing all the Demigods from the series as some of them were famous historical figures like Blackbeard.

Totally agree with everything. Especially about exposure

I was introduced to the series after watching your video

I know it disrespected the book series but still I think it's underrated and it's good in its own ways - if there was no book it was based upon I would like it tbh Also, seeing Gabe being petrified and Medusa's head in the freezer nearly gave me a heart attack I hadn't seen that part of the film

I have a nostalgic soft spot for these because I watched them YEARS before I read the first book. I only read the first book like a month ago, I listened to the audiobook because it is a way I can finish a whole book without just stopping for some reason and never coming back. I liked it. It was good but I did not love it honestly, definitely not my favorite book ever made or anything or even in my top 50, but it was good, and I think that movies are garbage when compared to the book. But again I have a soft spot 🙂

Let’s hope the new Disney+ series has more than 7 good things lol

I think apollo should be ryan Reynolds, in the 3rd season of the Disney series

You really did this to us book fans. 😢

Congo !! for completing 10 yrs on yt...😍

i cant hate the movies that much, since the brought me to the francise, one week the first movie was on tv on saturday and the second was on sunday, after watching both movies i thought thats cool lets pick up the books

What about riding on a wave and Percy pointing out the coordinates in the water

I’m so early! Love how u couldn’t even find ten good things

Great video!

Wow, never thought I'd see this! But it makes sense

i still recal those 2 films 7 the many books & comics on this 7 still love it to this this BTW long time no see movieflame!!

Were there Percy jackson movies I thought they were Peter Johnson movie ?

There was a Broadway show adaptation that Not only was faithful was actually a lot better than the movies

I watched the movies and they interested me in the books. Once I read the books I immediately realized how awful and wrong they were, but, they did introduce me to the series which I am grateful for

I like that they made riperide into a “klickpen” instead of it having a lid

you should make a video on the percy jackson musical :D

Please please please do a video of what the movies left out of the hunger games books!!!

I like that one scene in the second movie when Dionysus said “you know the christians have someone who can do this in reverse” I thought that was a good addition

Yo love ur vids

i love the scene of the three sisters cab in the second movie i think it was also very true to the books, if you ignore that they call it inside the camp instead of in the streets of ny, the effects look amazing

Yes, definitely! This movies introduced us to the books. I watched them when i was 10 and made me fall in love with mythology

I thought this was a April fools joke in August by seeing the thumbnail.

YES MORE PJO CONTENT

One of my teachers put on Percy Jackson and the lighting thief on in my school in the junior high

I like how in the movies riptide works by clicking the pen instead of uncapping

I agreee......the best thing from these movies is the exposure...i read the novels after watching the first movie

Yeees to the last one! I'm also an example of that. I had heard of the books before watching the movie, but I didn't actually get interested in them until I watched the first movie! Granted, it doesn't do justice to the books at all, but it did work as a way to introduce people to the books, and for that I'll be forever thankful that they exist. (at least the first one, the second one i don't care lol)

Don’t you love it when he makes an entire episode about the few good things in the films, but there’s only 5 minutes and 7 good things😂

Apparently they already cast the new Annabeth and Grover. I kinda wanted you to make a video about that too

I appreciate you making a video talking about the good parts of the movies despite your distain for them. I saw the Lightening Thief long before I read the books, and yes, the books are way better, but separating the movies from the books, I enjoyed the Lightening Thief as a nice light movie. I haven't actually seen it since I read the books. It's funny, I thought Brom and Murtagh were the only characters close to the books in the Eragon movie. The mentor and the rival were done well in both bad movies, that's funny.

“don’t walk on my roof” is iconic. i need it in the show

I am a Percy Jackson fan❤. And I also loved the books📚 far more than the movies. And I agree that the movie scenes📽 that you mentioned were good. But I think that there was another scene that should be mentioned "The scene where percy sees the latitudinal and longitudinal lines on the sea surface in the 2nd movie" It was great. 🌊🌊

When I saw the title I expected the video to just say APRIL FOOLS!!!

Can you read keeper of the Lost cities

Before I became a percy jackson fan me and my brother watched this. I remember this as a fun movie, only when I read the book I realized it was so difrent. And btw grover got a nickname goaty-man-thinhi from my Lil brother. The nickname still sticks today.

Omg I can’t believe I never realised Brosnan was Chairon in film 1 makes me wonder y he was recast Brosnan was brilliant with what he was given

I’m intrigued

You should watch the musical The Lightning Thief. It really stays true to the book the lightning thief

I have never read the books And honestly, my favorite Scene was in the second Film when Percy's Centeur-Half-Brother told His story about saying "Hi" to some Kids in the Woods while smiling and them running away in Terror. It was the only time in These movies that a Scene had brought geuine emotion out of me

I love how we're looking at (the most thinnest) silver lining for a very very dark cloud. And also it's one of Morgan's shortest videos

You should do a good things about the cursed child video 😂

Ngl the title made me giggle lol

I will say, the book scenes that made me imagine Percy Jackson as a tv show or a movie were the flashbacks of Luke, Annabeth, Thalia, and eventually Grover. The second movie did a pretty good job with that, agreed.

Hey ive read all percy Jackson books i love them very much and im looking forward to watching the movies and after i do so im ganna watch this (btw im a huge fan from the hp videos)

The scene where Percy throws Riptide in to the bull is so badass

0:42 This was my EXACT reaction after reading the title of this video three times.

Yeah the movies definitely got exposure, I still remember seeing the movie for the first time in a tv screen in a classroom in school, I thought it was ok, but the premise was cool, later I found from a friend that there were books and then I found out they were on my school library, the rest is history.
