Character Analysis: Why is Jason Grace So Hated?

Jason Grace is a character from the Heroes of Olympus and the Trials of Apollo. Out of all the characters in the Riordanverse, Jason is by far one of the most hated and despised characters and I decided to make this video to dig deeper into this and answer the question: Why is Jason Grace so hated?

Jason didn't deserve the hate from the fandom. He's my favorite character, even over Nico, Percy, Annabeth, and many others. Spoiler warning from Trials of Apollo Book 3: Jason's death really shocked me and was the first death that I cried over. Reading the Lost Hero, I loved reading Jason's POV chapters since I loved that his life was such a huge mystery when he lost his memories. Percy's loss of memories was less interesting since I had already read all about Percy for 5 books. Like I said, Jason didn't deserve the amount of hate that he got.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I love how you got more interested instead of annoyed of Jason's amnesia plotline because that's a different perspective i haven't really heard of. Alsoo nice to see another person who likes Jason as a character! ❤️

4:44 THIS IS WHAT I'M THINKING!! yes, jason's past was finally mentioned in the blood of olympus but it was kinda just brushed over in 15 pages, while the other characters were constantly thrown into flashbacks throughout all the heroes of olympus books. in this way, his character is definitely underdeveloped compared to the others, so there he loses much interesting characteristic. he can be a great character otherwise, which is why i think he deserves some sort of prequel book featuring reyna, it would really help us understand his backstory and actually feel something toward it. that's my opinion on it :)

@YceSy 23 күн бұрын

Dangg a Jason prequel book sounds great! Thanks for suggesting it! Alsoo yeahh as I mentioned in the video, it's true. Jason's backstory is pretty much thrown under the bus as there's not that much we can get from him until the last book which is almost too late to connect with him.

I like Jason, but comparing him to Percy in a sense is unfair, because we got five individual books of Percy's character development. And well Percy in my opinion has a better personality and is more appealing to read. Percy is my personal favourite, but Jason is still a well written character.

@YceSy 22 күн бұрын

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Yess, I agree. Comparing Percy to Jason is pretty harsh on Jason’s part because Jason didn’t have five books to grow and establish himself as a character whereas Percy had that through the PJO books. Alsoo I do agree that Percy has a better personality but I’m glad to see there’s another fan who doesn’t hate Jason! ❤️

I think my reason was in the lost hero I was just like “where’s Percy? Percy gonna be found any time now……is that Percy!?! No….. No Percy = bad book” keep in mind I was a child then, but I’m sure it has some effect on me

@YceSy 23 күн бұрын

Yess! That’s what I felt too when reading The Lost Hero. Percy’s absence was shocking and it made me question who the heck was Jason and why is he in this book

I really enjoyed Jason as a character from the moment I read his first chapter. I haven't grown up with the Percy Jackson books and started reading them about 2 years ago. Right after I finished The Last Olympian, I bought The Lost Hero on Audible and Jason was my favorite character in that book because of the fact that he was clearly not a son of Zeus, but rather Jupiter, and his amnesia aspect made me want to find out everything I could about him. I was disapointed to find out his backstory so late, but he still deserves way more credit.

He was the easiest to kill off I stand by the sentiment and I expected it he was not a fan favorite unlike nico and Leo when first introduced and felt like he was riding on Percy rival wave his confrontation with Percy lack excitement compare to Percy vs Thalia in the first series plus in the last Olympian Thalia was just cool and had a better design Jason came across as all American Boy Scout and Rick did a lot of tell not show with Jason I’m supposed to believe he cool based only on vibes no actual action

@YceSy 19 сағат бұрын

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree. Jason wasn't as interesting as the rest of the characters and as you mentioned, it is because Rick didn't develop him so much and instead, Rick did more "tell" instead of "show" which made us not connect with Jason's character.

I am fully aware that Jason is the equivalent of white bread. But I mean so is Zeus/Jupiter so you can’t really fault him for that. Leave my white bread alone!! 😂
