Ramble: Percy Jackson

This is extremely tangential but I noticed a neat thing and I don't know where else I would share it. I think Riordan chose the name Luke for the lightning thief because the words Luke and light both derive from the Proto-Indo-European root lewk which meant bright. Lucifer is a Latin derivation of that same root which means light-bearer. And before the name Lucifer appeared in the Latin translation of the Bible, it referred to a grandson of Pluto (Hades).

Listening to all the issues Jenny has with Whedon's writing it kinda makes sense that he's allegedly toxic, creepy weirdo.

jenny a lightning thief the musical video is evergreen

This is probably the first ramble that had a lot of edits that cut to the subject matter. Felt like it could have been released on the main channel. I hope this level of effort continues for other rambles because it definitely feels like a main channel video which i love.

How did you feel about the disney+ remake, I really enjoyed it and the use of practical effects. the kids were super talented.

Update?

I realized I was gay when I read these books and had a crush on, of all people, Clarisse.

I had read the Percy Jackson books a lot as a kid and absolutely hated the first movie (I never even bothered to watch the second). It is nice to hear from someone who didn't read the books and thought the movies were terrible (good to know its not just my bias from loving the books). The movies really got so divorced from the source material it barely felt like it was the same story, like all they did was read the dust jacket. The author of the books had even come out and said they had refused to take his advice on their movie script, which explains a lot.

the funniest/most frustrating thing about this video is that all the parts of the movies you dont like are the parts that diverge from the book lmfao. most of the time youre suggestions actually are part of the books like clarisse going on the second quest, grover having his own storyline, the roadtrip portion is less pointless and the pearls dont exist, the camp is better and more diverse/less jock centric, luke being dynamic and likeable, etc etc etc

It's fun to be a Patron and see these videos now!

Percy didn't stay at camp in the books @ your question. Just another weird change the movies did over the books. There was also not the weird "oh Percy I totally wanted to be there for you yeahhh" moment from his dad that you noticed lol. Percy in the books pointedly has moments of resenting him for never being around.

The actor for Percy looked almost exactly how the books described him just with blue eyes instead green

I would kill for you to do a whole video on the musical. And I'm so curious what you'd think of the books. I remember thinking they were masterpieces but I was also in middle school

Okay I've just started the PJ section and i'm so intrigued to see how you felt about the musical. I enjoyed it as a fun silly thing but I thought if someone hadn't read the books it would make no sense.

I can confirm that in the novel, Percy Jackson returns to the real world, and lives with his mother for most of the year.

Thank you for beanie baby video

Looks like it’s working? Hopefully this is the full video!

oh shit it’s up

The FEDS absolutely refuse to leave Jenny alone

Jenny, bitchute could be a good alternative to explore as well.

Sometimes those types of long unfixed bugs are because your browser ad blockers or whatever are automatically blocking something and it's hard for YT devs reproduce. Or YT has just lost it.

Buffy is shaking her head dejectedly.

How annoying!!! But it will be worth the wait...

Can't you post it on like, Dailymotion? It's not as if you needed the visibility since it's a patreon exclusive...

But isn't this an unlisted video? How did they even get to it? Wait, are they Hate-Patreoning you?!

I want to punch youtube in its dumb fat face

Legit crazy that anyone would try to block this. Can you use a different video platform for the patreon stuff?

Wondering how things would have transpired if Buffy the vampire Slayer had won the ramble poll... (I voted for Percy)

Fox is afraid of the TRUTH

Sending positive energies to this ramble
