I think it’s funny that out of all the Greek gods and figures, Dionysus is the only one played by someone of actual Greek descent.

Given Dionysus was a god who induced madness and his cult members had a ritual of tearing animals and humans apart, he's the last person to be a camp counselor. Although, that would be a testament to how little the Greek gods care about their kids. Given Ares actually cared about his kids, was polite at parties, and got angry if the other gods wronged his kids, he'd make a better camp counselor.

The most accurate portrayal of Dionysus I have ever seen and he’s hilarious.

You should have titled this “Dionysus having beef with Peter Johnson”

Dionysus would totally be a messed up cop after being undercover for so many years

The “But did you!” Delivery was perfect

Anyone who wants to read about why he hate him so much for no reason, read the third book.

Ahh, so this is where Pimento's been hiding nowadays.

"who stole it" "You did😃" "WHAT 🤨😧?" *I cant😭*

I’m looking forward to a ‘Wine Dude’ moment. The book readers among you will understand what I’m on about,

Seeing Jason Mantzoukas like this, really saddens me of how great Close Enough could have been if TBS didn’t cancel it after leaving it in development limbo for so long and then only giving it 3 seasons

YESSSSSS! Pimento is perfect for Mr D. Spot on casting!

1:35 The way they both turn around in sync is amazing. I don't know why. It just is.

Man Jason Mantzoukas is killing it as Dionysus.

This is the perfect actor to play Dionysus.

Did no one realize that he said it’s normal for fathers to talk to their sons only after getting them a drink

funny fact: Chiron is Dionysus's mentor and trainer too, he was a demigod soo

Just wait until Titans Curse...oooh boy its proof he's a force to be reckoned with.

He’s such an ass, but he’s hilarious! The only thing that would’ve made this better is if they included his line from the book about science being “mumbo jumbo,” it was one of the funniest lines in the book.

"The Dad who stepped up" I-😭😭

Dionysus looks like he's gonna make some round tipped nuclear weapons to a certain eccentric middle eastern dictator

This was the 2nd best casting choice in the series, the first being Ares.

Wow Mr D got GROVER's name right. What a good god looking after his satyrs XD

Season finale just ended and he never once threatened to turn Percy into a dolphin. 0/10.

One of the greatest scene ever I died laughing

“Excuse me, Your Highness”

Who do you think they'll get to play Ariadne? I know she was only mentioned once in the third book by Dionysus, referred to once in the fourth book by Theseus (he didn't even say her name), and that we saw her briefly with Dionysus at the end of the third book, but I still think they should include her. I want to see his performance in the scene talking about how another son of Poseidon abandoned the woman who had given up everything to help him and left her on an island to marry her younger sister.

I'd still love to know why Hestia isn't the one in charge of Camp. Dionysius is the last person who should be taking care of traumatized and struggling child soldiers.

"Peter Johnsonn ? .I love his Swords ! ."

This is hilarious, I cannot 😂😭

adrian pimento?

D in Mr. D is not "Dionysius", but Derek.

Oh look, it's the writer guy who looked like a hobo from Close Enough.

I have many, MANY, issues with the casting choices for this show, but this one is absolutely perfect. when I read the books I always pictured Dionysus looing like this.

Damn pimento in b99 was mrD the whole time? 😮

Dionysus having beef with a twelve year old child.

Kinda wish they got Stanley tucci back as Dionysus

Both hilarious and sinister

It's that guy from Brooklyn 99.

Bald guy is Chiron?tf Now I have a beef with how Mr D acts about Percy's quest , kinda ooc.

One friend of mine said they wanted Mr. D to be their grandad or somethin

In terms of acting, Dionysus, Ares, Poseidon and Zeus were played perfectly, as in book. Hades is made too chill and upbeat, he feels rather more like Hermes character blended with his, like deals and him saying cupcakes and rainbows. Hephaestus is a bit meh, he’s not as remote and focused on mechanics as his book self, and he feels once more not like a god should. As for looks wise, Ares good, Poseidon good though could do with more beachtype wear since he is described as such, Zeus apart from a race change and loss of beard looks how I imagine, that sort of cold, ruthless and arrogant CEO vibe, Hades good though a big let down from the epic book description, Dionysus perfect. I do wonder how they will do other gods like Artemis and Apollo, Artemis for instance is gonna be tricky, she is in the form of a 12 year old, but is serious, scary, man hating, and not one to make jokes.She also is slightly manipulative considering how she isolated Bianca to recruit her, and should convey the fact that if Percy makes one wrong move or even looks at her funny she will kill him.

Holy shit that's OG Jesus

He's so cringy I love him 😂

Stopp the part where it went "Now look at me and this opportunity" is my form when we have a sub💀

I feel like this was Riordan's way of saying "aight I was downplaying the gods a bit in the books let me make up for it" and so far he has

Heyyyy wonderful video. Hi. 👏👏👏👏👏

Derrick

When he said who's sally jackson i pictured him bleeding in the ankles because I'm biting his shins

*Peter Johnson

What the heck? It's been forever since I watched the movies but I could've sworn Percy and grover looked ALOT different, and older!

Pimento’s dreams:

What's the point the booze is just gonna turn into water 😂

Is this where pimento went when he had to go into hiding

Ok they got Dionysus right

So, is this Hellenistic period Dionysus, or Bacchae Dionysus?

y u steal the bolt kid?????

Pimento?

dont percy have black hair

Mr.d was a dick to percy and even lied to him about his mother and that's why Mr.d is the worst character ever
