Some corrections!
Grover is actually supposed to look slightly older than Percy. I missed this at first because it's only subtly alluded to, but Percy did suspect him of being held back a couple years in school due to his acne and facial hair. Chiron also later reveals that Grover is 28 years old, but looks younger because satyrs age at half the rate of humans, which would make him look around 14.
It's revealed in the third Magnus Chase book, The Ship of the Dead, that Riptide's pronouns are actually she/her. I deeply apologize for misgendering her, and will do better in the future.
In addition to having the wrong hair color, Annabeth in this movie has the wrong eye color, blue instead of gray. I don't know if there was some issue with the video file I was using, or if I just went colorblind for a second, but while I was working on this, I genuinely thought her eyes looked gray, but they're definitely blue.
Technically, the cabins weren't all built when Camp Half-Blood was founded. According to Camp Half-Blood Confidential, campers originally slept in the Big House. It wasn't until the camp got more crowded that Chiron divided the campers into family groups and had them build cabins. The idea that Poseidon built a cabin specifically for Percy is still inaccurate, but my explanation was mistaken. Also, if we really want to be technical, some of the cabins were destroyed and rebuilt at least once during the camp's lifetime, as alluded to by Zoë and Artemis in The Titan's Curse.
Medusa actually is implied to have some level of hypnotic power during the fight with her in the book. I should not have sinned that scene.
In this video, I claim that the gift Poseidon gave the Athenians to rival Athena's olive tree was the saltwater spring. That is accurate to how Annabeth tells the story in The Lightning Thief, but in the account of the competition Percy gives in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, Poseidon's gift for the competition was the horse, with the creation of the saltwater spring being a separate event. I can't seem to find anything to suggest either version of the story is correct or incorrect, so I'm just going to leave this at "I only quoted one version of the story, and failed to acknowledge other equally valid versions."
More of an excuse than a correction, but it has since occurred to me that this movie came out before The Mark of Athena, the first appearance of the Athena Parthenos statue in the Riordanverse canon. So at least from the perspective of the books, it's only an inaccuracy in retrospect, which isn't entirely fair. Of course, had they followed the book and not included the Parthenon scene, they wouldn't have opened themselves up to retroactive inaccuracies like this. And this doesn't solve the issue of them blatantly misrepresenting a real piece of classical artwork, but that's a whole other thing.
My pronunciation of Thalia is different from how Rick Riordan pronounces it. He uses a short A in the middle (Thah-lia), I used a long A (Thay-lia). I believe I first got that pronunciation from the audiobooks, which are not always great about correct pronunciation. In my defense, various online sources do list Thay-lia as a valid alternative pronunciation, but from what I can tell, it's not the one the author intended.
While Persephone's affair with Adonis is not mentioned in the mainline books, Percy does give an account of that story in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods. So it did still canonically happen, it just never comes up in Percy's own story.
Persephone does, in fact, have some control over the forces of the Underworld. In The Sword of Hades, she manipulates shadows to transport Nico and Thalia to New York City, and splits the earth open to drop them and Percy into her garden. She is not just a nature goddess.
It's five thrones on either side, not ten. Clearly, I forgot to make my customary sacrifice to Athena before doing the math for that sin.
Artemis's preferred hair color is auburn, not black.

the fact that this video is like half the length of the movie says a lot about the adaptation

Hades was never banished, he got the short straw in picking where to rule and was just never really invited to Olympus, he can leave whenever he likes

i can’t believe the Lightning Thief Musical is more accurate than the movie

Now that you mention it, unless I'm mistaken there is no blue food in either movie. This is truly the biggest sin of them all.

Also, for Poseidon coming out of the sea at the beginning of the movie, the fisherman shouldn't even be able to see him because of the mist.

You forgot to mention that Hades was angry over being accused of wanting to raise an army of the dead, as it's mentioned over the series that the Underworld is rather crowded BECAUSE there's too many dead souls coming into the Underworld


Throughout the series, Percy has never actually managed to beat Luke. Thalia was the only demigod character in the series to have actually defeated Luke in battle. But in every battle Percy had against Luke, he was more or less on the losing end

They made Sally so tame in the movie and I hate it, Movie Sally definitely would not pick up a shotgun in the battle of Manhattan.

36:20 This movie made the SAME BLOODY MISTAKE that Disney's Hercules made, by turning Hades into an outright villain

"In this video, I use the word 'sin' to mean any difference between the book and movie. This is purely stylistic. Inaccurate does not mean bad."














Though in this movie's case, it does

God i hate to imagine what would they have done too Nico and Jason if they continued the films

What's ironic about Hades, is that given that he's charged with ruling over the most miserable place in existence, and has the most motivation to be a villain,he's actually one of the most moral and honorable gods in mythology. Loves his wife, has a code of honor, and can be moved to charity with a simple love story. Compared to other gods like Hera who have everything, but still will lie, plot, cheat and murder for her own selfish gain.

Hades has a complicated relationship with his siblings as he's been charged with ruling over all of the souls in a world of people who are constantly dying, but it's completely understandable. He still doesn't hate them for it.

Side note that the movie missed that I loved in the book. The main reason the underworld was depressing is that the dead got exactly what they deserved, but for most of humanity, that was wandering aimlessly in a dreary field devoid of pleasure or pain, as they were content in life to accomplish nothing.

As someone who doesn’t read books I feel very informed and a little sad with how much they took out of the movies. Th original adventure sound far more interesting, the movie now feels rushed and cut in half.

17:02 I actually have a theory that this was a crappy attempt at foreshadowing. Basically, the idea was that, since monsters are attracted to Wi-Fi signals, this was supposed to be Luke setting up a beacon for where camp is. Unfortunately, it’s only able to be taken as foreshadowing if you know that, and since it wasn’t explained in the movie, you’d have had to have read the book, and therefore KNOW THE TWIST, to catch the foreshadowing. It doesn’t make the movie better, and in fact, if I’m right, that makes the movie even worse.
36:04 BANISHED? BANISHED? THIS IS BEYOND INANE! The three brothers cast lots to determine who ruled what. Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got water, and Hades got the underworld. In the Camp Half-Blood Series in particular, Zeus even had to convince Hades to take the underworld as his domain, as stated in Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods.

Fun fact: here in Brazil there is this really famous singer called Zé Ramalho, and he looks exactly like this movie Hades, in the Portuguese dub of this movies Grover outright screams to him to “Stay in the Zé Ramalho vibe” (in Portuguese he says “Fica na pegada do Zé Ramalho”), and is genuinely the only joke with him that made me laugh in the two movies

Another fun fact: the guy who does Grover’s voice in the dub version(Wendel Bezerra) also dubs Goku and SpongeBob(he’s so talented you don’t even recognize the difference unless you pay attention)

So thanks to the dub version for making this movie 0000,01% better

I actually don't mind the "x character was blond in the books" differences because the appearance of characters rarelly influence plot... it's just that everything else was so wrong it's annowing they didn't even bother to get that right

I blame Disney's Hercules for a lot of the inaccuracies in this movie. Think about some of the biggest inaccuracies and then look to Disney's Hercules:
-not understanding the difference between Hades and the pop culture version of Satan and the pure vilification of Hades (let's be real, there is no understanding of either among most people)
-the Hydra scene is an insert from Disney's Hercules
-use of Christian termonology and visuals (Hell being the underworld/Hercules praying)

Point is, a lot of paralells can be drawn. And now we just need to hope that the same company gets it right? To be fair given who is involved with the Disney+ series I do believe it will be good. It is ironic that we need to trust the studio that created this mess in the first place to fix it though.

The weirdest thing was how this movie changed the whole message of "the gods are awful and neglectful parents and need to do better" to "they are very loving, actually, they just can't be there" when really they just don't care as much

“5 sins for turning Hades into Satan” MAKE IT TEN. I have only watched the the movie adaptation of SoM because my teacher put it on despite various complaints from classmates (this is before I read the PJ books), so I was PISSED when I saw that scene here.

I didn’t understand why people hated the movies when I watched SoM with zero context, book or movie, but I do now. If it were its own thing, it’d have been fine. As an adaptation? It’s shit. Actually horrific.

Percy’s mother is still called Jackson, she’s listed as such in the end credits.
The newsreader clearly just assumed that she’d changed her name when she married Gabe, just like she assumed that Percy was Gabe’s biological son.
