Yeah im pretty sure Percy has used it to see in the dark if I can remember correctly so the glow is definitely a nice touch

Wait but didn't he fight Minotaur with bear hands? He didn't have the riptide at that time.

@@nithyaekanayake This is a change from the books, I'm curious why he has Riptide in this point when we finally watch it.

I also remember him describing it having a faint glow that helped him in the dark a lot, so yeah the glow seemed cool

I also liked the bit where Percy made fun of Henry's funnel for being small

Clicky pen go click click Demigod brain go: ooh cool! Accidentally stabs their desk when taking a test This has happened more than once

​@@fantasyshadows3207this is definitely why I still want the existence of a clicky pen turning into celestial bronze tho 😅

Yeah, I’m happy they made it into an actual capped pen.

Also with a clicky pen, there isn't a way to turn it back

​@@lcc2348 First, I don't think there was an indication for it in the movies but I'm pretty sure that there's probably a way for Percy to turn his sword back into a pen. Second, if it's a pen that can click then I'm pretty sure there may indention on the pen. That way Percy could press that and it can return back into its normal form without anyone noticing what it was. Third, if you have to click it to turn it into a sword. I'm pretty sure there's a way to reverse the effect to turn it back into a writing utensil lmao. False, because wouldn't it make sense for you to do the exact same thing that you did to turn it into a sword but to turn it back into a pen? Fifth, I did like that change in the movie however, I disliked most of the movie only because of how the director directed the movies. If you paid attention to the movie you would know that everyone in the movie new Percy was a son of Poseidon except for him. Sixth, I'm curious on someone's explanation on how that makes sense when he never knew who his father was until he got to Camp Half-Blood.

More? Try at all

Luke was shown in the trailer, he was the one leading the camper in capture the flag.

He’s in there for like a half second, where the blue team is running in the bridge, he’s right in front.

I think Lyke is in star wars.

They're not showing much of Luke 'cause i think they're holding for the final plot, and people don't suspect him by being an ""important character""

It's also a foreshadowing

Yes I was thinking the same thing. Ofc a few things will change but I don’t mind as long as they are true to most of the story 😀 I can’t wait. IT LOOKS AMAZHANG

I was confused about the Mrs Dodds scene, because from what I remember, she only changed in front of Percy when they were in the museum alone, whereas in these shots, it looks like people are around them. But that makes so much sense, and honestly, that would be a really good change, and a great way to explain the Mist!

That actually makes sense and I could see it working like that in the show

Oh yes they totally listen to him a little bit too hard because he changed everything is sold out to the corporations just so his book can get adapted and changed all the characters for no reason

@@eluayLGMsame, since the actors can play the characters well I don’t care if they’re purple lmao

@@wolfbane7497 "I don't give a damn if he's blue green or yellow."

⁠@@wolfbane7497They were cast because they embodied the characters the best Rick said, so I think it’ll be easy to imagine them as the characters after seeing them in action/their personality. I’d honestly rather want actors who are talented and knows how to play the characters, than bad actors who can’t play the characters but look more accurate (it’s impossible to get them that accurate too cuz it’s rare with grey eyes and green eyes and they can’t have contacts. And wigs or dying hair is not good for the kids. But if it helps, I see that Walker gets darker hair as he ages, like many blonde people do, so maybe he has much darker hair in the end). And Annabeth and Grover already looks like 1000000x better compared to the movies version, in the movies Annebeth was almost an airhead and Clarisse was more like Annabeth, and Grover was more confident and funny guy, but in this adaptation we see Grover look like the nervous bullied sweet kid he was described in the book, and Annabeth seems more like her personality in the way she stands tough and looks at Percy curiously and how she interacts with him.

Narnia is?

​@@gbrow1604yes

​@@gbrow1604yea, Greta Gerwig was asked to direct the remake

Harry Potter does not need a frickin remake. Nothing but a big cash grab. The movies were already perfect. The funny part is I remember in Twitter how the guy who basically runs Max said they don't do remakes and dissed them, then they turn around and make a Harry Potter remake.

@@chanelmapendo3761 From what I know, that doesn't seem like a very good match.

Don't get me started because it's stupid

I haven’t thought of that but yeah you’re right

Luke and Percy also technically swapped hair colors

Guess we are waiting on Will and Nico

@@fantasyshadows3207 Maybe, we haven't seen any shots of Luke yet

When did he film his parts

@@kingofmiami2749 Good question, I gonna assume that this was during his WWE contract which is he's out of right now.

@@kimicrewe4443 That's gonna very interesting on how they do that. I wonder if they will change how the fight plays out.

@@brmawe hopefully not, Percy beating the god of war in combat at age 12 was like a major thing in the book. And its what gets Zoe killed in Titans Curse

@@ludvig7473 Never say never.

@@isaiahgrey2831 It wont happen mate, there is 0% chance of it. Be happy if this gets to book 4...

Another of the reason is that the cap is what turns the sword back to a pen, having a click pen doesn't make sense because there is no way to turn back Anaklusmos to a pen

​@@joaquinvera4406I mean they could've just had a button on the bottom of the hilt so he can just click it back

Lance is Riordan's best casting choice for the show in my opinion. I personally had Josh Brolin as my choice for Zeus, but Lance is fantastic as well. Honestly the only god casting choice I don't like is Jay Duplass as Hades. He comes off as a goofball not the lord of the dead. A much better option for Hades would have been Walton Goggins.

I do hope they pay tribute to the legend himself just like what John Wick did

Indeed.

Wait what that makes sense!!!

Most likely. Riordan stated in the past that while the movies butchered his story, they had some parts that he thought were really cool

Nope, I made that mistake once

Me 🖐️

they made Grover Indian for no reason

@@wolfbane7497 Cope.

​@@wolfbane7497Who cares? It truly doesn't matter as long as the actors who the Author of the books and Writer/Director of the show thinks they are the best picks.

@@movielover7565 it does matter because you're adapting your book your story and you should stick to your guns about. what the character look like and how they should be portrayed not change things willy-nilly and be a sell-out. You wrote the book so obviously you had a lot of time to think about. What your characters wanted to look like how they move how they think everything. And that should be preserved and adapted to the film not changed to suit whatever the studio should feel. If they're willing to change the nationalities of the characters it makes me. Skeptical of what else they change yeah the trailer looks good all trailers look good. They're supposed to look good to entice you to watch the show but a good trailer can also reveal a terrible show. And the fact that Rick Riordan commissioned art official art that he put in his data books. About the characters of what they supposed to look like and how he blatantly went against his own source material. To sell out to the studios just so they would make his show I don't respect. Rick Riordan because he sell out he didn't stick by what he wrote and he didn't stick by his story.

@@wolfbane7497 no it really doesn't. They were chosen because they embodied the character way more then the others who auditioned. Looks aren't what makes the characters good. It's the writing and performance.

He does though. In the titans curse, they ask Bianca what the last president of the US was, and she says FDR. They tell her that was about 70 years ago. That dates the books to a time period. Plus, we know Hazel, Bianca, and Nico are characters that transcend time. In a few years it'll be very obvious how dated the books are based on the descriptions of when they were first alive to the Time period they traveled to and the differences. The books are indeed set in a certain time period

Yep, in book 5 it even mentioned blackberry, pretty sure it's been a decade since people using it.

@yoru8815 exactly! Not mentioning tomes doesn't matter, cause of the Reference he uses to older tech, time skips, era Reference, etc. It's obvious when it's set in

I guess they realized that the title matters. Percy Jackson were the first two words for it and it got more clicks

Honesty this trailers si mode jam Packed with information and was more pleasing to watch compared to the other trailers

Because the last trailer was poorly optimized and kind of reads like a featurette or BTS video

It’s definitely in there, episode 6 is called we take a zebra to Vegas.

YESSS I LOVED THAT SCENE BC GROVER TALKED TO THEM LMAO@@grachisol8236

​@@grachisol8236where do we see the episode titles?

@@leonamvinoy3008 IMDb

it was the first scene annabeth opened up about her family to percy

lol I never visited the arch, but I saw photos on Google and was suspicious that there really is no way to fall into the water lol

I mean, he does get supernatural help from a god so who knows

yess rick himself said he wrote the book first and then realized the saint luis arch was way more afar from the river

@@rafaellachereque5976 I feel like he did that but just went with it

Luckily, his dad is the god of the seas and in the book his dad actually sends a Neried to help him, so I’m thinking they might have the water kind of “grab” Percy and drag him into the water

Reddick is my favorite casting in this show by far, absolutely brilliant choice. However, I am not a fan of the Jay Duplass as Hades choice. I don't recall Hades being gleefully evil in the book, I thought he was more cold and cunning. Duplass fits King Minos a lot better in my opinion. Walton Goggins would have been a better choice for Hades.

Maybe after the fight with Mrs. Dodds, when Percy tries to return Riptide to "Mr. Brunner", he will tell him to keep it and _not lose it_

But isn’t that kinda the whole point??? To show that he was overpowered because of his lineage??? Hell in the books, rick riordan always emphasize about the BIG THREE like they’re on a different spectrum than anyone else so of course their children will also be on a different level than anyone. Nico only been in the demigod world for 3 years and he’s already the best of the best, same as hazel

@merlinrecon7528 Kind of, but I always read it as more specific to their powers. Nico trained with some really dangerous people so it makes sense he would become really good with a sword but also his sword taps into his abilities so that has to contribute in some way. The Big Three kids always have crazy skills and strength but it always seems to be relating to their powers rather than physical strength. At least in my mind, I can't remember how specific the books get. I just feel like Percy having his sword with the Minatour makes for a more grounded start to his story. I'm not actively against him winning the same way he does in the books though, it's more of a personal preference, I guess.

@@jjdracula I mean nico’s strength isn’t really with his sword, it’s always with his underworld power. I’m not saying nico swordman is bad but it’s not really comparable to some of the best weapon master in the books (percy, jason, annabeth, thalia, and clarisse). What I’m talking about is how in just 3 short years his power has grown to the level that the fandom always puts him in the top 3 strongest demigod with him and percy interchangeable in the rankings. Because the fact is big three kids are just given unfair advantage of power that has only ever been rival by immortal, another big three kids, or piper (tho piper charmspeak kinda smell like plot mcguffin). I mean the fact that clarisse with blessing of ares still took down way less monster than percy with curse of achillies should’ve told you about how broken the big three kids power are. Hell it’s one of the main reason that they use the world war as an excuse to have the oath because their kids are too destructive

​@DeuzFazbear he can't lose it, it returns to his pocket if dropped.

honestly I pictured it as one of those matte black pens in every office with the silver plastic cap, except instead of silver, a gold color

When I first read the books, my favourite pen was Butterfly. So that image stuck.

if it was a click pen then it would click to extend and click to retract like a normal click pen

but riptide transforms fully into a sword, and when the cap came into contact with the tip of the sword it turned back. where would the click part be on the sword if it was a click pen?@@heyimjaytee

@@typo1345 I imagine it as a nice dark wood with bronze

The handguard would protect him from that. The handguard will push away his fingers below and out of range of the nlade

@@Snzn18 The hand-guard was be sprung out so fast it might bend your thumb backwards. No.

Another reason for the cap is that you can write with it and close the sword with the cap on the blade.

Please tell me the pun was intentional. But yes it does. These books got me through middle and high school.

@charliecomer6001 yeah, the pun was indeed intentional. These books got me through some rough times, I am forever thankful for Rick Riordan and all his characters and stories. They even helped me with my own writing.

I read the books so much as a kid I know all of this information too. He probably just remembers it

@@brandonhicks9926 I find that to be impressive

YES! I too am disappointed with the negating of the character descriptions. I think Jay Duplass is the least of our problems, though he could have been a bit more Ozzy Osbourne :)

Yeah the appearances really bothered me. They were also really easy fixes. Colored contacts (Annabeths gray eyes ;-;) and temporary black dye won't damage them

@@filip_aleksander_moen I just don't recall Hades being gleefully evil and cheerful which is how Duplass plays him in the trailer. I thought he was cold and cunning, they probably didnt have the budget to afford him (at least not yet) but Mads Mikkelson would have been perfection. Another great option would have been the immensely talented Walton Goggins. I think Duplass fits King Minos better.

Yes it just seemed silly to me to not go all in on the characters. Anything less than perfection seems like a disservice to the characters. Walker with a black wig and green eyes (through cgi not contacts) would have been amazing. @@tea_b4052

@@apluscast Agreed, Mads Mikkelson would have been AMAZING. Here's to hoping it will be good anyways!

Bro, a normal thirteen year old kid can't do that sure. But these are demigods, and they're waaay stronger and tougher. Personally, I'm a bit worried that we won't really get a sense for how powerful they are like in the books, and I'm hoping demigod fights don't play by normal human rules. I mean, the trailer looks really good, and I'm super stoked, just worried everybody's going to be fighting with normal human speed and strength. Where's the speed that blocks bullets with a sword? The strength that can rip a horn from a monsters head? Hopefully he actually loses the sword in the fight and it can go the way it went in the books.

@@danielpatrick6791 book 3 is when he blocks a bullet,so he shouldn't be that fast in Season one.

Medusa's not completely black, she's just a bit darker skinned in the books

yeah, it seems like i was wrong. i checked the book and aunty Em appears to be a middle eastern woman, not a black woman as i always imagined. i think i didnt pay attention to this part when i was reading 😂. it's ok though. but i would still like to see a black medusa in some movie or tv series 🥲

@@danp_oliveira People see characters differently. When i read the books I personally imagined Eva Green as Medusa, but if you wanted a black medusa Naomie Harris would have been an amazing choice. I also hope (and i doubt it will happen) but Angela Bassett would be a fantastic Athena for Leah's Annabeth.

They might’ve changed it for the show but in the first book, Hades didn’t have a cabin so it’s probably Ares.

@@Oldladylili3573That is very true, now you mention it, I forgot about him not having one lmao

hades doesnt have one until the last olympian

Someone above made a good point, which is that maybe that fight is outside to introduce the idea of the mist better, which makes sense. Also you never know, he may still end up killing him with the horn. Maybe he just has the sword for some other reason that they needed him to have it for. Always remember, in book to show adaptations often small details change for various reasons, and they can have mini ripple effect that affect other details, so maybe this is one of those. Overall, with Rick at the top I’m sure it will be as faithful as it can possibly be. I’m with you on the fates scene though, I really hope that’s in there too. It’s so insanely mysterious and feels so important yet you don’t know why for so long

They very well may keep how Percy kills the Minotaur. Maybe he gets the sword knocked out of his hands and then has to use the horn. Then finds the pen in his pocket when he wakes up in CHB

I believe they did somthing similar in the movies
