The opening monologue is actually directly ripped from the opening of the book. Halfbloods do have ADHD and Dyslexia (battle reflexes and their minds are wired for Greek), and the story was written for uncle rick's son who has both of those. The stories actually started a bedtime stories for said son, before rick started writing them down. The movies really do not do the books justice, and the show looks like it is finally going to give us the adaptation we deserve!

It makes absolute sense that the opening monologue was ripped from the book! It just has that vibe lol. But it's really cool that Riordan included things like ADHD and dyslexia for the characters, since I feel like those are things that probably easy to overlook that certainly need representation as well. I'm glad to hear most fans seem to be happy with it so far! I'm certainly enjoying it 😊

Me too! I know its not okay for spoilers for the people who haven't read them, but for us readers who have read them and I know are analyzing every second of the show for Easter eggs or looking for special scenes that are in the book, its something that we all get scream and talk about, while the non-readers don't know unless they read them! It sounds mean and sounds like its only for us readers (WHICH IT ISN'T), but it feels a little special to us and is close to our hearts that another book that we love is getting to the big screen if done right!❤

Also, the trailers show that they included the Tunnel of Love of Doom, which I'm very much looking forward to!

Also when he was fighting clarisse hes supposed to be pretty bad at fighting until he gets into the water. After that he gets a power boost and he kicks their asses. Im assuming they changed that so for one, percy looks like a capable fighter without training, and so annabeth will look smarter as shes the one who figures out his parent before everyone else. I think in the book she had a strong suspicion. Also percy leaving grover at a bus station, but honestly this is small stuff to be picky about and i dont think the changed were detrimental to the plot at all.

I am actually so happy with this adaptation, the series is what I wanted, a actual adaptation to the books, as someone with adhd I had struggled with it, I hated myself so much for it, but when I started reading the Percy Jackson book series it changed me and made me who I am today, this books are so special to me and I am happy to finally have a good adaptations to the books, as funny as the movies can be they still felt too different from what I loved about Percy Jackson, watching this series made me felt like how I felt when I was 12 and read Percy Jackson for the first time

You saying, “What in the Grim Reaper!” is an excellent observation on your part. The original imagery of the Grim Reaper (sands of time draining away toward death/skulls/sun dials and shadows, the decrepit side to aging, not the honorable side) came from this particular villain in the Percy Jackson series.

As a big fan of the books I loved these two episodes, camp half-blood is exactly how rick riordan describes it in the book. It's nothing like the Logan lerman adaptation, no hate towards the actors but it was a mess, I think a tv show is a lot better to portray this story and do it justice (and they already are, barely two episodes in). Also, Rick started writing these books because his son has ADHD and dyslexia and he wanted to give him a character he could relate to and faced some of the same struggles which makes it even more amazing. I loved the books when I was younger and later found out I have ADHD myself and having this story helped me so much with not feeling so alien to everyone else. I hope you continue watching and I have to warn you that these incredibly cute kids are about to go through a lot so get ready 🙃

They are using (commercial edits) because all of the streaming services are going to a tiered paywall. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney + are all going to offer a base service with commercials.

From what I’ve seen others say, the cuts to black are the changing of chapter to chapter from the book, could be mistaken though

34:14 this moment where he does the floss is the funniest part of the entire show yet it is not even is in the books (I wish it was)

There are commercials if you pay for the less expensive subscription to Disney+, so that’s where the harsh cuts to black come from! :)

I don’t know if someone already said this but the reason they didn’t want Percy to know his mom was in the underworld is because they knew he’d go looking for her. He’s untrained and doesn’t much at all about the magical world and would be playing with powerful forces he knows nothing about. And it would distract from the quest, they can’t be sure he wouldn’t choose saving his mom over saving the world if it came down to that

I stopped watching this reaction and watched the two episodes. Even though these type of fantasy stories aren't my usual cup of tea I really enjoyed it, in spite of the obvious Harry Potter influence. Most of the copycats feel like all they did was put a new skin on the cut-and-paste plot, but Percy Jackson feels much more like its own fleshed out world, with some obviously personal influences sprinkled in. I've been a fan of Walker Scobell since I saw him in The Adam Project. SO good.

Finally, someone agrees that dyslexia is the worlds most evil word. It was obviously not made with any thought of the people with the condition in mind.
