In the midst of Harry Potter fever every studio was looking for their own potential young adult franchise to bring to the big screen. In 2010 20th Century Fox settled on Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, beginning with Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. They even brought on board Christopher Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter movies. Sadly the magic wasn't replicated and what we got was a muddled half hearted attempt of an adaptation that fell short in almost every way minus the incredible cast of barely trying known names.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravana Garbage where we're taking a look at a franchise that didn't take off. But they're trying again? They're trying again and that seems to be working, but it's TV, so it doesn't count because TV's not real and Disney Plus is ruining everything for everybody and Marvel is dead. And we're dead inside and outside. That's right. Congratulations, Mason. You're a ghost. That's cool, I think. I think so. I can do ghost stuff. |

| 0:50.4 | Please leave a like because we're talking about Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and the Philosopher's Stoke. What is it again? Sometimes it's Percy Jackson and Lightning Thief. Sometimes they call it Percy Jackson and the Olympians colon, the Lightning Thief. I don't know which it is. It's that one. Is it? Yes. Huh. The book is only called The Lightning Thief. Is this based on a book I never would have known? It's based on a book? It's based on a book. Mason, it's based on a series of books. There's five books that started in 2005. Sorry, there were five before this movie came out. Okay. And as you probably realize, this is just Harry Potter. It's Harry Potter. It's Twilight. They're trying to find a new thing.

But yeah, this is just, they're just looking for the new thing and they were like, all right, demi-gods. People just frantically going through old books of just myth and folklore and whatever |
