Whoever decided to use that song is a genius. Gives me chills with how epic it sounds in these trailers. I’m hyped. They’ve shown so many things that are true to the book

When grover was being pulled away, it could have been in the underworld when the shoes were trying to drag him to tartarus

The trailer looks so good! With Rick adding things he did not put in the books, I would love to see in The Last Olympian during the battle when the characters come across a sleeping Nancy because it would show just how much Percy had grown as a character at that point.

Firstly, I have high expectations for this season being epic and exciting to bring the book to life for me and everyone who are fans of the books.

Something else to notice. Is how in the beginning Sally said "Against all odds" which can be a wink or nod to the part of the Prophecy with the, "Shall reach 16 AGAINST ALL ODDS"

I hope we will see Nico and Bianca in the background somewhere in the Lotus Casino scene

The guy in the hotel is Lin Manuel Miranda who is playing Hermes in the show. Interesting that they have him there in the show since he didn't show up there in the book. I'm excited to see the changes they make in the adaptation, and we can rest assured that it cannot be worse than the movie was.

I’m so hyped for this series. However I wish they hadn’t given Riptide to Percy for the Minitour fight because it was way more meaningful when we he killed it with his bare hands.

If we get the Battle in New York against the Titans…I wanna see the front desk guy reading one of the Harry Potter novels. Percy even mentions how the guy barely pays them any attention because he’s reading a book with a boy wizard on the cover. 😂 That’s a crossover. It counts!

Christmas this year is on 20. December I'm so looking forward to the series and to seeing my childhood on film After the trailer, I no longer have any doubts that the series will fulfil my already high expectations The series is going to be so epic

The moment I knew this adaptation was gonna be good was when Sally mentioned that a big reason why she named him Perseus was because Perseus got a happy ending, something that was not too common with hero and she wanted the name to give him that luck or something like that

This show is gonna be epic. I had some struggles figuring out when the trailer would drop here but then it finally did and I was blown away

I LOVE the new trailer!!! So excited Also the person you thought was running the casino was Hermes

This looks so much better than the first trailer. I am really hyped now. The casting seems great and just by the clips they behave like their characters. I just hope people stop saying "Who asked for this?", "We don't need this" and give this a chance so that we can have more seasons since this is the one time that an adaptation seems faithful to the books for once and we haven't had that in a while.

The minotaur having the tightie whities is where I was won. I LOVE THAT THEY INCLUDED THE DETAILS FROM THE BOOK TO THAT DEGREE!

Annabeth speaking gave me confirmation that it was a good choice. Also, I think Luke giving Percy the tour is better because it strengthens their relationship more, making the betrayal worse

I know that flashback scene was not in the first book but I think it was mentioned by Rick in some later books that why Percy's mom named him after Perseus because he was the only Greek hero who lived a long life and had an happy ending. I think it was mentioned in the Greek Heroes book in the Perseus chapter by Percy himself.

13:30 it’s a hydra! I love this detail, cos shooting a hydra in the chest is one of the only ways to kill it (since chopping its heads off does NOT help)

That last line is so walker as percy. It just shows his talent that he can come across as so vibrant in such short clips. I had my doubts, but I know that this will be an amazing show.

I think it makes sense to have Luke be the one to give Percy the tour of camp, especially if they want to drive home what happens at the end of the lightning thief.

“the movies cut that completely” is something you could say a lot

Cool little detail how the arrow for the poseidon cabin is worn down and not upkept like the other signs because no one has ever been part of that cabin.

I’m glad seeing Lin Manuel Miranda as Hermes. He’s proven that he can be an actor on occasion and for the sake of argument this’ll redeem him for the scuttlebutt from little mermaid 2023.

I really hope this is a fateful adaptation. And I don't ruin it like the movies did.

That is Hermes, the guy you thought was welcoming them to the casino.

Just putting this out there for people unaware of this but Ares is being played by WWE Legend and current All Elite Wrestler Adam Copeland aka Edge, it is nice for more professional wrestlers other than the Rock and John Cena be cast for these big budget films or tv shows, showcasing their ability to act and peform stunts themselves where other actors wouldn't dare to

I got the impression young Percy WAS being played by Walker. The resemblance is uncanny, but his movements are a little too fluid, and his features seem very smooth. Usually tell-tale signs of effects being used. If it is Walker then the effects are incredibly impressive.

I really hope the series goes well and all 5 books are covered. Maybe we'll also get Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo.

It is a Yankees cap! I’ve seen the capture the flag scene, it’s just like the book.

🎉 Uncle Rick deserves his crown, it's his time to shine now! 🧡

15:09 No that’s Hermes it was confirmed casting, but I think Percy won’t know his name until Season 2

this looks incredible! ohhh, and the theme/song riptide is just sooooooo perfect.

Poseidon is played by the actor that played captain flint in black sails. I love that!

“That’s one of my favorite parts of the series … the bullying” The villain arc has BEGUN 😈

10:05 I think the reason that they are not close to the water in this scene is that they will make the scene longer. Clarisse and her friends will ambush Percy in the woods, they then chase him to the river bank and that’s the shot we see of Percy running is him behind chased by Clarisse. Which then leads into the fight at the river bank

I can't wait for the series to air. I have read the books several times and love everything about it, and the trailer looks to good and accurate to the books.

Trailer was sick but I would’ve loved to see some footage of his powers

I love percy jackson so much. Im so excited for this.

When he called Lin the guy that runs the casino I went full on Hamilton fan and flung my phone across the room. I’m sorry… but this man is the great Lin Manuel Miranda. You may not call him the dam casino guy

Me and my friends who loves the series are really excited for it. I just hope it doesn't let us down.

2:11 i think thats actually his dream about the sky and the sea fighting, where he saw an eagle and a horse fight on a beach. it looks like a dream sequence to me, with the thunder and slo-mo

Cerberus reminds me of Fluffy from Harry Potter

when annabeth is fighting she has echidna behind her so she is probably stabbing the chimera

This is TV series is gonna be awesome. My favorite scene in this trailer was when Percy was fighting Ares, just like in the book.

I like how in olympus instead of having it in the middle they have Hestias fire in the place of another throne as a call back that she had her throne there once until she gave up her place as one of the 12.

Can't wait for this come out and can't wait to see what else Riordan has planned for us! Thanks for doing this reaction and can't wait for more videos from this universe! Also, side-note, the person that says "Demigods, welcome!" is actually Hermes, played by Lin-Manuel Miranda, so excited to see him.

I love how Rick is staying accurate to the book while also making enough changes/additions so that it feels like its own thing as well. I think it'll be a great way to both reintroduce fans of the book and introduce new people who didn't read the books to this world.

I’m so excited for this now. Even if it doesn’t get multiple seasons I’m still going to treasure it for a while. I usually don’t find things cute like a lot of people do, but the young Percy is the most adorable thing

I don’t hate the movies, they are how I found the books. It’s a great universe, so I’m pretty happy to see it again.

Some people are crazy! CRAZY! How can anyone watch this trailer and say they're still on the fence and expecting something on the same level as the films, expecting the series to be a flop? Are we watching the same thing? And this only comes from people who scream "THIS IS WOKE" for any type of inclusion of minorities. How are people still complaining about the cast when we have a trailer that is so faithful to the events of the book? Again, ARE WE WATCHING THE SAME THING? Crazy!!!!

A month back they revealed the episode titles and how long it runs for. Here is my prediction based off the episode titles and the book chapters. Epusode 1 - Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher (Ch 1 to 5) Episode 2 - I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom (ch 6 to 10) Episode 3 - We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium (ch 11 and 12) Episode 4 - I Plunge to My Death (ch 13 and 14) Episode 5 - A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers (ch 15) Episode 6 - We Take a Zebra to Vegas (ch 16 to 18) Episode 7 - We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of (ch 19 to 21) Episode 8 - The Prophecy Comes True (ch 22)

This trailer if not is one of the most hyped up thing for the entire Rick Riordan series.

15:15 is Hermes. Actor is called Lin-Manuel Miranda - officially cast as hermes

Thank you for the breakdown Morgan, love your work

When Ares shows up it would be so cool if they played Metalingus since that's Adam Copeland's wrestling theme as Edge.

Been waiting so long for this!

I know these are changes Rick wanted but it seems they didn't include Grover telling Percy about Thalia or maybe they do include the scene and it's just not in the trailer. I just think it's so important on Luke's past.

I think the Pegasus is blackjack from the books but we don't meet blackjack till the 2nd book, and don't hear him talk till the 3rd book

I'm SO excited for this series. 20 december is actually my birthday, so it's also a birthday present for me

So excited for this. It's close enough to the original that it's recognizable while adding enough positive stuff to make it feel like its own thing. I definitely like the addition of a younger Percy.

I still remember the first time I read the books all those years ago. Thus seriously makes me exited to watch the show. It's pretty accurate so far to the book

The pen that Chiron hands Percy in the trailer isn’t riptide - the cap is golden on riptide, and the body is silver. Chiron’s regular pen is just black and clear.

I’m looking forward to this! It honestly looks amazing!

Let me tell you something. I recently bought the Percy Jackson books (at the moment I am in book 3). After finishing reading books 1 & 2 despite how bad I understood the movies are I decided to watch them for the first time. Right after I asked myself "Why did I just torture myself?" I took hairs out of my head in fury. But I am excited for the new show this will be awesome! I am sure of it. And I must say I am jealous Morgan that you are about to become 28. I feel like a big brother almost because I am 37 I am an old bastard🙂

Awesome! I myself am very excited to see the Percy Jackson series the way its suppose to be in the books. Even though I only read book 1. But still Hyped for this show!❤🎉😅

Make these Riordanverse videos: 1.) What The Characters’ Bogarts Are Ex: Percy: Alecto Annabeth: Arachne Grover: Polyphemus Nico: Cupid Luke: May Castellan Clarisse: Ares Thalia: The Sun Chariot 2.) A Character Design Video Ex: Percy: male / teenager / black hair / sea green eyes / olive skin / silly Annabeth: female / teenager / curly blonde hair / stern / tan skin / grey eyes / princess face / athletic

I’m so dang excited for this series. After this trailer came out, I’ve watched it so many times. I love how I always notice something new when watching it. Recently when rewatching the trailer, I noticed Medusa and Cerberus. You know the show is really accurate when you recognize everything and know what scene is which. Since the release of the second teaser, I’ve noticed that whenever I see Percy’s eyes, especially when it’s a close up of his eyes, they’re sea green. I don’t know if I’m the only one who’s noticed this. But I think it’s pretty cool.

I thought this trailer was amazing and I genuinely hope we get more series from the Rick Riordan Universe because it’s so good and has so much potential

The creature on the roof wasn't Dodds. It was Blackjack.

5:49 he has a stick or something and throws it and then Annabeth is the one that had the red ball I do believe Percy never had it because I know Annabeth had it

Percy mentions that his mom told him why she called him Perseus in the books I don't remember which one, so the scene with sally in the beginning of the trailer has a canon basis, just not from the first book, nd I think that's a great choice, it shows that rick is really doing his thing

I was waiting for you to react to this fr

Demigods have the invisibility cap.. 🧢 The Potterheads have the invisibility cloak..🪄 Which would you choose?

It is her Yankees cap. In a clip of her on set during her birthday, you can see the same cap with a Yankees print on it.

Happy birthday Morgan!

I liked the trailer. I'm super excited for this series to be done rigjt.

Edge is a one of my favorite wrestlers. Him as Aries so is perfect casting

I eagerly await for your videos, like if we were long distance friends! Love your content!

I cannot wait for this show

Luke was also the villain too He stole the bolt

Looking forward to this now!

the guy as you said "welcoming them in" is Lin Manuel Miranda who plays Hermes @MovieFlame

Looks really cool. I don't actually know the source material but it looks like it's going to be a cool series.

I think that shot that you weren't too sure about at that thing in the ocean towards the beginning, that you thought was a bunch of fish, you can see a face and long hair, so I think it was the Neraid. Also, what you thought was Mrs. Dodds being on that roof, is actually a black pegasus, which lots of people, including myself, think is Blackjack.

You should get Percy Jackson characters according to the books into the AI.

Mega hyped!!

Yep, I am going to have a blast this year...

These trailer breakdowns actually made me watch it and I regret nothing

I never understood how bad the movie's were until i started reading the books this last 2 months but this trailer is better then both of the movie's combined

1:40 I think this is where Grover was being pulled into the Underworld/Tartarus (forgot which one it was ) by the shoes with wings that Luke gave them.

I’m pretty sure they did give Annabeth a Yankee’s cap. It’s the same color as the ones they make these days plus you can vaguely see the MLB logo if you look close enough

My birthday is December 23, so this will be an early b-day present for me, too!! I'm really optimistic for this series!!

The hair colours are all different then the books 😂 Great trailer though 👍

They way I screamed "OFC LIN MANUEL MIRANDA IS IN THIS" 🤣

Yesssss he knows his PJ books! Love to see it 👏🏼👏🏼

Disney also released a bunch of promotional pictures, including a closer look at Mr.D (leopard shirt included) and Gabe in his apartment (with a Zach Wilson shirt on the wall for whatever reason) PS: Apparently Bear McCreary's main theme for the show is a banger, since he got nominated for an award already

Can’t wait to see it

Im hyped. Plain and simple

The fight with Percy and Ares 🙌🏽

Grover being pulled at the beginning has to be where a certain pair of shoes start acting up...
