This is so true. Hermione was so obnoxious in the first book imo. Annabeth was super cool.

Just finished the first PJ book so I can confirm. Hermione was way more uppity and snobbish. Annabeth is way more chill and generally has less self-doubt. Really the only similarities the two have are that they’re the “smart girl friend” of their respective friend-groups.

Annabeth is honestly really impulsive sometimes and I'm totally here for it. She's also really witty, which is NOT Hermione.

sally was initially against the idea of doing that, until he came in asking for bean dip. then she got enough funds to kickstart her writer career :D

They live in different moral than normal human, and selly has becoke part of it. Karma is real, if it was in mythologic world, gabe would get his karma soon or later. Percy see it as to punish evil human, and let her mother live in peace. He see it as to protect himself and his mom. When he's on adventure and probably would never comeback doing some dangerous quest his mother would be alone with bastard gabe. I would do the same tho, i will take my punishment from making him vanish later - that maybe what percy thought. Selly also become part of peecy's world as well. Though at first she againts the idea, but she also knew things like this happen in the ancient times when we as human can gave punishment to another human who is evil. She take the chance. I might do the same if i was her.

If anything the government is the roman's organisation...

They aren't the government, but they do represent the highest level of authority, so the comparison holds up

EXACTLY, thank you!

They explain about the dating between cousin things in the first book actually? Don't you think so? As long as i remember they have told us in the first book, that god don't have dna, and demigod can date each other, despite their brother/sister from same house. It told that no one would date or even think about their brother/sister in the same house as an atractive figure bcs that is disgusting. But they don't have any connection between another demigod from another house so that's fine.

Honestly, I feel like in general Riordan has a really good mix of humor and serious scenes. Like, At almost all of the points where Percy made a Joke I was like "Yeah, id do the same in that situation". Also, to this day probably the best written teenagers I ever read. They actually behave like Teenagers, as seen in Lighning Thief where they sometimes are really just Kids (Lotus Hotel) and they just dont know how the world works. I think thats a great thing and the Reason why those Books are so relatable to many Children/Teenagers even though it is about literal Demigods killing MOnsters.

You guys remember when Frank Zhang suggested doing the "Wakanda thing"?

Yep, and he doesn't reveal a character's queerness 20 YEARS AFTER THE BOOKS CONCLUDED

Unlike JK who turned out to be a raving transphobe.

This shouldnt be high praise but i respect the fact that he basically went "I am sorry for the lack of racial diversity in my book. I will add more in future books because that is the obvious thing to do." so much

and he has such casual disability representation too. like, he took a guy in a wheelchair and went, this character is not going to sit on the sides, he's going to fight like anyone else, but in a unique way and the inclusion of disabled people who aren't magically made better is just so good its so rare

@@alienbird5624alright I think I’m dumb I’ve read daughter of the deep but what is the full form of ULL

Depends on how you're comparing it. If it's the movie Harry and Hermione then I agree, it was very awkward. However, the book does 10x better job so I'll have to disagree there. The main reason a lot of people ship Harry and Hermione is because they like Daniel and Emma together, but Hermione was never meant to be as good looking as Emma.

@@eatcheesekobe We're talking about Ginny and Harry, not Harry and Hermione...

I liked Ginney and Harry a lot in the books they were terrible in the film

@@jacobgrimstad7423 I can't say I do. It may be because I never finished the books, as for whatever reason Percy Jackson and Co hooked me in a way Harry Potter. Couldn't, but I wasn't a fan of the pairing. Harry and his best friends fangirl younger sister, at least that's how it starts and they don't really have much of a friendship till later. Annabeth and Percy, on the other hand, have a slight rivalry due to their parentage, and Annabeths own flaws with pride and her sort of know it all attitude, while Percy was hurt due to how he was introduced to the Greek world and how rash he could be. Over the course of five books with a lot of bumps in the road they develop a relationship I'd been waiting for since book 3, suspecting since book 2, and happy with throughout book 5 and onwards. And there's some parallels you can make, but even then they feel more meaningful for PJO. For example, in Chamber of Secrets, Harry goes to kill the basilisk and rescue Ginny from its clutches, due to her being his best friends little sister and simply because it was the right thing to do. Percy goes on a quest to rescue Artemis from the titans, but his main reason for going is saving Annabeth, his best friend who he refuses to give up on. The entire point of the quest for him is to save her, going so far as to put aside his own pride and hold the sky so Artemis can fight and keep all his friends alive. I'm not saying Ginny and Harry is BAD, I'm just saying I prefer Percy and Annabeth in every single way.

@@BlazeDupree1525 I'm happy for you :) I'm considered the brave leader for.some gods forsaken reason considering I watch marble hornets and other horrors and jump at the scares so brave is not the word that comes to mind

feeding him blue food is most important tho

The fact that no one brings that series up makes me sad:/ they’re in the same universe as the other series too

@@ooin_otaku4282 the crossover is lit

@@fizzles4393 ngl i completely forgot about that lmao

@@fizzles4393 especially after it. In the Brooklyn House companion book, there are so many references to them being friends and using each Annabeth’s book to fool Setne or something like that. I don’t really remember though lol

I was always confused on how to pronounce 'Apophis'. I though it was like 'Uh-pof-es' but it sounded kind of weird. That being said, those books were always my favorite.

Demeter probably would be a communist though tbh. Lol

Lmao i remember this line in The Hidden Oracle 🤣

Gets me everytime

YES

Meg macaffrey my dear

I havent finished it but didnt he just become human? But with some knowledge of the greek world

no he's just an above average mortal when it comes to knowledge of the mythological world.

...that was written by Rick Riordan also...

anonymous_loki That’s the point!

So like Thor?

That was Magnus.

That could be a reference to the Hinduism gods (who make no sense at all) but with the Abrahamic religions being centered in the Middle East it would be viable.

@@artofthepossible7329 Hindu and Greek mythologies have literally so much in common and yet the former makes no sense to you while the latter does?

@@vidhugugnani339 You could be a athiest Hindu, a monothiest Hindu and a polythiest Hindu and all are legitimate views of Hinduism. While in the Greek world it's polytheism only and in the Abrahamic religions, the monotheism is heavily emphasized.

I mean, Jesus is also a historical figure tbf

@@vidhugugnani339 I think he means that Hinduism is too confusing even for a hindu

Yeah, both Harry Potter and PJO didn't have much diversity, but Riordan wrote new series and introduced a lot more diverse characters, whereas JK Rowling just tried to retroactively claim that characters from the Harry Potter books were gay/jewish etc. to seem progressive.

@@lisa-3373 Rather than tweeting and bending his story afterward to seem more diverse, his books becomes more and more diverse as it goes. It was written in an organic way too since he draws a lot from time when he was a middle school teacher and meet all kinds of kids!

Does diversity even matter. The diversity is organic until you get to MC GoA

who the f and why does he cares... this diversity shit is going out of control. and what if it doesnt have diversity? someone is going to die? when i read something i'm not searching for different colors or different sexual orientations or whatever. i'm searching for great characters. i don't care if they happen to be "diverse" or not. this search for diversity is ruining both books and movies. the whole entertainment industry is suffering because of it. just follow the story. if something make sense then it make sense. and i guess if a lot of people read my comment they would say "i bet he is white". you know what, yes i am white. but i'm also easter european, i'm slavic, i'm Bulgarian. we are not represented a lot in media. and i don't care. when a Bulgarian character appeared in Harry Potter, i was like "ha" and moved on. Not having a bulgarian, or even slavic, character in a story doesn't bother me one bit. do you know what would bother me? having a bulgarian main character when there is no reason. that nowadays we always have to have at least one black, one asian, one jewish, one gay, and one bi (or whatever else sexual preference) character in a story. and if the main character can be one of those, it's even better. it's annoying. for me needing "to have specific race for the sake of diversity" is more racist that just not having it, especially when it's not needed by the story.

Suncho okay I guess you're right on one thing a diverse cast doesn't make something better. But I disagree on your other points. I guess what I'm saying is it's not important for one story to have diversity but stories about other races, other sexualities, etc. need to exist because those people exist.

Hahah THE ONLY GOOD PART 😂

alenight99 girl same I'm 22 and I can read the series like again and again. For harry potter, well I just enjoy it and finish reading it, it's amazing but that just it. I prefer to just watch the movie rather reading the book again

Omg were the same age and read the book at the same time! And I felt the same way, until I read Rangers Apprentice, my new favourite series, which is just better(that was very hard for me to admit to myself originally), it's so good! you should give it a chance

Percy turned 26 last August

Also I’ve never loved a series more and It’s characters

I only read the first one but I liked it solid 4 stars.

Several people who have been working in the chocolate factory.

That's a shame, 'cause I'd happily pay to see a fight where Thor is just throwing lighting while Jesus is multiplying some breads

Magnus Chase is great! After finishing PJO, HoO and the Kane Chronicles in a year and a half, I was like, "Huh, guess it's over." And then, bam! I found Magnus Chase and absolutely love it.

@@platyperri i guess you have read the trials of apollo? the 4th one was amazing

I can't wait for the 5th book

Moses exists too: he's the only non-member to ever defeat a member of the House of Life in a duel. Then there's spin-off series by other authors like Storm Runner and Aru Shah, which don't technically take place in the same universe but some of the series are similar enough that I sort of clump them (the latter is Hindu-based, but includes Greek and Irish mythology in the first book alone). At this point, I basically figure all religions, ancient and modern, are to some degree true in the Riordanverse.

Riordan: I'm about to end this woman's whole career...

Uncle Rick: allow me to introduce myself

lol HP diverse?

Percy Jackson is literally the Iron Man of the Riordanverse: he started it all, and absolutely everyone loves him.

yes

@@zacharygilmore1075 he's the Spider-Man. Wise-cracking, sarcastic in the face of death, fights for his friends, will die to save his friends, could have had, like 4 different girlfriends (Spider-Man had a whole-ass harem, but same thing), and Spider-Man started the MCU, not Iron Man. Sure, the Toby ones aren't matched up with curremt MCU and avengers, but it was the start of the MCU. He's even gonna be canon with the new movie.

Dude mcu is super overrated now

oh zoe nightshade....I would have loved to see thalia and zoe as hunters together...

The Last Olympian?

Don't you hate it when that happens

Percy: Aw shit here we go again

Godness Luna Lovegood doesn't even exist right.

Who?, Luna canonically marries and has two sons later in life.

@@fizzycolapop362 That's not in the story though, she pass the entire saga single.

Who?, She still got married and had kids. The Hunters, who, for the great most part, literally swear off men for oftentimes millennia, enforce that it’s okay to not want or “need” to be with someone.

@@fizzycolapop362 Ow, I'm not talking about it, I'm just saying to anyone who just read the books, Luna and some various characters didn't end up married, so the message is there (casual readers don't brother to search for extra information honestly) Also, people change their minds about things, an unbreakable promise just incinerates this fact, so it's definitely not a good example of this massage (it's a good trap to catch young soldiers though).

Why can't my romance be like that
