I like that Thalia’s solution to not being the hero of the prophecy was joining Artemis’s group exactly an hour before she turned 16. She literally froze in age at 15 364/365.
One of my favourite things about The Last Olympian was how they used the Great Prophecy to tie the backstory together and how it all began with the Prophecy. Yeah who’d have thought Nico and Luke were actually kind of intertwined in their backstory.
wait, Nico? i mean ik the prophecy made his life a lot more... traumatic but how was Luke intertwined? (like ik he’s the “hero” and stuff, but that doesn’t make them intertwined)
@@saturnisgay69 well, if it weren’t for Zeus attacking Hades for having children, Hades would not have cursed the Oracle, May Castellan’s transfusion would be successful, and that traumatic part of Luke’s backstory would not have taken place
@Freak-Boy yeah man I can go on forever about the parts of the prophecy they got wrong! But the worst part? THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHOW LUKE'S REDEMPTION!!!! AND RIPTIDE AS THE CURSED BLADE? THAT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!
Even after reading Percy Jackson, I gotta give uncle rick a pat on the back for all the prophecy's from Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and Trials of Apollo there just so good
@@tamarakadeishvili7214 IF THISI IS A SPOILER THEN JUST DONT READ ANYMORE BUT NO, HE FALLS INTO TARTARUS WITH ANNABETH AT THE VERY END OF THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS: THE MARK OF ATHENA AND HE SPENDS THE WHOLE OF THE HOUSE OF HADES GETTING OUT WITH HER.
It's like the prophecy tries to fulfill itself. When Hades' hid his kids and they couldn't age, Zues' daughter came. When she was out too, it was Poseidon's turn. Every prophecy finds a way to come true
I like to think that Percy's decision at the End of the Last Olympian also applies to the Prophecy. Percy turned down being immortal and has the gods to swear on the River Styx that they will claim all demigods by the time they turn thirteen, have cabins built for the children of all minor gods and Hades, and give amnesty to innocent Titans and their former allies. Percy also relieves Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades of their oath to not have demigod children. Percy is keeping his promise to Luke by getting rid of a broken system. All the problems that Percy and his friends faced was due to the system and the problems it created. If the system had continued on like that another demigod uprising would have risen and the gods could end up losing and the world would fall into chaos. Percy's decision has prevented future threats like that and has brought a great deal of peace to other demigods.
Percy when he heard the first great prophecy : Oh dam, I either save the world or destroy it! Percy when he heard the second Great Prophecy : So I have to stop the Giants and my great grandmother now?? Percy when Apollo appeared in front of his door : OH MY GOD WHYYY??!

@@thisaccountexists5545 REALLY!?!?!?!?!? wow first person i have heard say pjo is better than hp. a lot of ppl prefer hp (including me) but dont get me wrong, pjo is a great series lol
@@thisaccountexists5545 sameeee, i just love it sm more (part of it is the representation, but a lot is also the characters like my favourite hp character, Luna, has nothing on Nico, literally most of my personality)
@@kategaddis199 reason No.1, we have our representation cannon and not on Twitter years later, also we didn’t kill off our only gay character (if Rick did kill Nico, i would kill him), and we even have more than one!
Olympus may have stayed the same but Percy did make changes for the better. The gods would claim their children on their 12th birthday (thou I could b wrong about the age) and the minor gods were to b given the same level of respect as the major ones. On a side note to that, the minor gods got their own cabins.
Annabeth also helped to preserve Olympus! Don’t forget, she is the one who drew Luke out at the end so that she could remind him of who he was and what he had promised.
Yeah, people think Harry Potter was OP for taking down Voldemort at age 17, this guy fought the actual God of War at age 12 and won... and also a Titan at 16... and won.
@Michael Huang I read them all just two times but the first book and the book when annabeth and persi in tartarus I read SOO mani times couse they both I have in my house
Percy Jackson Finally! Who else was excited when this got posted????Thank the gods for Luke’s choice and Percy for understanding Rachel and figuring it out. Hope everyone stays safe!

Oh my freaking gods! Thank you! Why does nobody else ever notice that! Drives me mad! except except maybe you could see God's as being exclusively masculine, but like still! Freaking demeter!
@@jae5004 it does say gods and not goddesses so that could be one interpretation, although gods referred to both God and goddesses! So I don't know it is very vaguely worded
You didn't tell how Annabeth's knife was cursed This was because when Luke was under Kronos's control he hurted Annabeth. Luke had promised her that he would never let her hurt and he himself (though not in control of himself) hurt her. This made the knife he had given Annabeth a cursed blade.
Man psyched for its upcoming series, using seasons for the number of books is a damn smart decision instead of cramming 2hrs for each book(I mean HP worked out fine but not sure others can handle as good)
A half-blood child of eldest Gods Shall reach sixteen against all odds And to see the world in endless sleep The heroes of soul cursed blade shall reap A single choice shall end his days Olympus to preserve or raze
damn... I remember how much I enjoyed reading this. I finished the series in grade 5, ( + the heroes of Olympus) and two years later I began reading Percy Jackson once again, and re-finished the entire series of Percy Jackson in 5 days. I read about 200 pages each day. I am proud to say that a single choice made me choose to read, reading the books, I chose to heed. thank you peter Johnson
Oh my gosh I’m so happy you posted again you’re one of my favorite RU-vidrs especially since you started posting Percy Jackson books (I am re-reading the first hero of Olympus book) so anyway I’m so happy that you finally posted again and happy early new year Ps aren’t Hera, Hestia, and Demeter the eldest gods?
they are goddesses not gods so it doesn't count but they are as old as Zeus Hades and Poseidon Im pretty sure. and I think Aphrodite is older than them.
Yeah she is because she was born of Kronos is blood so technically she’s the oldest God but actually it depends when was she born but then again she would also be last of Krono’s children children it’s a weird topic but then again so is Greek mythology so... And I guess it is kind of true because yes you did say that she would never have children but she didn’t need to have children only one of them needed to have children but I admit it would be pretty cool if instead of Percy Jackson it was demeters child that would be really cool especially because nobody cares about their siblings they just care about Zeus, Poseidon, Hades
@@joeyberthoud916 I understand why you think that cause hades is the oldest male god. But the order is Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and then Zeus. The reason everyone thinks it’s the other way around is be Kronos regurgitated (that’s sounds so nasty) in the opposite order because when they were born they were eaten. So if Hestia was the eldest she would have been eaten first and regurgitated last.
It was called a cursed blade because Luke made a promise to Annabeth that they would always be family, "family Luke, you promised", Luke broke his promise.
Movie flame thank you for making videos on book series such as Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and the hunger games to name a few. You actually inspired me to start reading more and got me back into reading after being out of it for years. You got me into Harry Potter and because you made a video on the life of Luke you got me into reading Percy Jackson thank you so much. I’m heavily invested in Percy Jackson rn and I’m on book three so I won’t be watching your Percy Jackson videos yet but once I finish the series I will watch every single one of them ;)
I feel like the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series holds a special place in my heart (more than Harry Potter *yikes*) But I felt like I grew up with the Characters when the books were coming out. This series is incredible and recommend anyone to read it ❤ Rick Riordan is an incredible author and he tries to make anyone relate to any of his novels 🤣 I'm still reading them now in my 20's ❤❤❤
Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are both series that hold a very special place in my heart. Although I got late into reading those two sagas, they are already my favourites. The Harry Potter series are a series that everyone can read, regardless of age, in my opinion. Apart from the amazing story, the writing style makes it a lot easier to read, and each book gives one, if not more moral messages. The Percy jackson series got me into greek mythology, and I learned a lot of interesting facts while enjoying reading a fantasy novel. Rick Riordan's writing style is very fun to read, and like the case with Rowling, makes the book easier to read.
Just as I said in your last Percy Jackson video these books were amazing an changed my outlook on reading in general. Such a great series an I literally know so much about it, an you make a great video explain so great points an keys. Keep up the great work an can't wait for the next video!
@@alpha5664 the deal was made between the Greek gods not roman. No prophecy involed both Greek and Roman demigod until the prophecy in the heros of Olympus. The roman gods and their children were not involed with this prophecy. Therefore jason does not count
A Flaw In The Percy Jackson Series:- The Prophecy- "A half blood of the eldest Gods, "Shall reach sixteen against all odds, "And see the world in endless sleep, "A hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap, "A single choice shall end HIS days, "Olympians to preserve or raze" Here it says end HIS days, so obviously Thalia and Bainca couldn't have been the children of the prophecy.
I think it was a gender neutral term, using the word “their” instead may have confused people into thinking it was multiple people. In many cases, such as The Holy Bible and the American constitution, in text they use masculine pronouns to refer to all. “All men are created equal” “God created man in his own image”. I could also be overthinking but I will say that was an impeccable observation, well done!
Movie flame: They’ve gone through hell and back literally Me: (Broken laughing cause I’m not sure if he meant the underworld or the “thing” in mark of athenA)
This book series really started my love for reading, I had always loved to read but this opened that up much more. This first series is by far my favorite out of the three, don’t get me wrong I love HoO but it’s just the characters and love stories feel so rushed unlike the first series were we literally got five years of Percy evolution and same with his and annabeths relationship.
@@Imaperson844 Oof that's really hard but probably I'm gonna choose Sea of Monsters just because I love Tyson so dam much and I feel like out of all of them it's the most feel-good book. What about you?
@@Imaperson844 it’s a close second to sea of monsters the only reason that it’s not first is because of Zoe and Bianca’s deaths for me but I love nico too I swear solangelo is literal perfection.
Percy Jackson series: greek mythology is real and everyone wants me dead because my dad broke a celibacy oath heroes of Olympus: fuck the trees she gonna get your knees, there's Romans now, ROAD TRIP!
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING FOR JASON OR PIPER OR LEO OR FRANK, YOU NEED TO FULLY READ THE TRIALS OF APOLLO SERIES OR YOU WILL MISS STUFF!!! edit: and reyna cos some more stuff happens to her in the trials of apollo! edit: and nico if u wanna understand him more and yea I WILL NEVER FORGIVE U IF U MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT HIM WITHOUT INCLUDING HIME AND WILL’S RELATIONSHIP
frank and reyna and leo are really only minor stuff and for piper it is more about exploring her character wait... by saying that, I have pretty much pointed out who dies, haven’t i? oops
@@samanthaclaire6664 yes let’s just hope that if somehow our luck is within the 0.05% chance that movieflame is reading this, he doesn’t look at replies
I am, and I had to read the WHOLE series to determine that it was my favorite series I've ever read. Once I finished HP, I started Percy Jackson, and I didn't even have to finish THE FIRST BOOK to know it is now my favorite series. Percy Jackson is way better than HP, hands down.
Thank you for making another PJ video! Mabey you could do another one about Nico or Grover. It's sad that Grover was sort of forgotten through out the books.
