right like can they stop asking her that please. It’s been done and discussed she’s there. Asks her fun stuff

But we don't want her to change anything from the character, and we don't want them to change it so it can fit her, we dont want to see leah's Annabeth. We want to see the Annabeth from the books, doesn't matter if she is white , if she can give us that, I'm totally gonna be pleased, but so far they don't seem to be promoting it as such.

@@YopjoI don’t want “Annabeth from the books” I want Annabeth. I want a girl who is brave and tough and kind and vulnerable and open to learning and who accepts her mistakes and becomes a better hero, friend and person along the way. It doesn’t matter to who she is in her heart if she’s blonde or brown haired. What matters is who she is. And so many people, including Rick, have said that she is Annabeth in alll of the way that matters. Just like Rick says, if you can’t get over how someone looks then you clearly didn’t read the books hard enough.

I gotta say I’m not a fan of changing a characters appearance from books (and I wasn’t at the start of this show either) however I have definitely turned around due to the fact Rick vouched for her and I’m excited to see how she portrays annabeth. I still wish they could’ve at least dyed her hair blonde and gave walker black hair as well.

​​@@chadhiggins6884the adults probably wouldn't have wanted to have young kids constantly bleaching and dying their hair, which is completely fair, since this is a TV show and will continue a lot longer than just a movie. as for changing the appearance of a character from the book, disney holds open call auditions, so as long as the race of the original character has nothing to do with the character's story or plot line, it is up for anyone.

Lol fr

her hair is incredible

Also, her dress choices? *chef kiss*

She is a literal goddess 😭

I didn't noticed before that we had a curly trio haha, it's very cute to see them all together!

Right??? I thought I was the only one who noticed this😅

Fr

No fr it's actually so infuriating

he didn’t defeat them but the books explain it

@@gabiiiiiiiii.k I mean, Why was he Soo good without training :)

@@gabiiiiiiiii.k I have read the book. I just thought it was stupid that they cut out the part when Lucas trained him.

@@mikew4022 ohh ok sorry! Ikr I wish the show showed his training because I love that part

The show did show his training it was just later in their series (like a flashback yk) lol

Right there lol. Leah Sava Jeffries

not funny. she’s literally right there

Have u read the books

Babbyyyy read the book

You haven’t even read the books. Bet. You just want something to complain about typical dudebro

Are you even literate lmao mf

If you're racist just say that

@@edgarlopez8986 let's say they finally remake black panther and they hired the actor as an Asian/white. Besides an African American to fill the role, what then?

@@edgarlopez8986 btw me criticizing the living shit on the fact, that they changed appearances! On the casting due to the characters from the book, GMFU. You obviously hadn't read all the series, and not even past 5 books. You neanderthal. I have a feeling Rick had no say in casting, money rules the world nowadays not talent or authentication.

⁠@@Rogue.818Annabeths race/ethnicity isn’t important to the story. Black Panthers race/ethnicity is. You’re comparing apples to oranges

@@IActuallyDoGoHerefr what are they talking about 🤦🏾‍♀️

Just a thought that I had - the reason people were so upset by the movies was because of the sheer neglect that they showed towards the original books. If it were only appearance, and Alexandra Daddario was perfect as Annabeth in every other way then I doubt people would have complained. But the fact is that they butchered every aspect of her personality and not to mention the point of the book. They simply didn't even care enough about the books to REALISE that she was blonde and made her blonde as an afterthought in the 2nd movie with no explanation. That is so not the case with this series because so much care went into that casting and the plot and the characters. The author was directly involved and so far, from all the clips I've seen of this show, the casting is so perfect for every character because it feels like I'm just reading the books again. Truly, it's a surreal moment and I'm very excited to have such a faithful adaptation

You could've just said "I'm racist"

The books weren't about race they were about found family friendship and love. Someone's illiterate and racist 😂

Here’s a dumbed down translation for u guys: “me want annabeth to be white cuz black girls can’t be strong and smart the old movies were better cuz annabeth was white😡🤬”

it's giving "i'm racist but i don't wanna be called a racist" instead of watching the series you go and bashe it? What for stupid mf does that bffr.

How? The author wanted to give his book a respectful adaption. Don't blame it on Hollywood being out of ideas

It's not a remake and the book was always "woke". U will be fine cuz the author of said books wants to correct the mistakes of the Fox movies of Percy Jackson by Fox executives that didn't care about the story from the source material

then piss off. why are you here

Have you not read the books? The author of the series, Rick Riordan himself added in gay, lesbian, trans, and bisexual main characters in his original books. The series was also written to diversify neurodivergent representation in media. Riordan also owns a fucking imprint to diversify stories based off of other cultures he wanted to write about, but he didn't want to appropriate. It's always been "woke" by conservative standards. Why did you not expect it this time?

@@audiobooksforfree7857 The books are one thing, the films are another thing.

You don't have to comment if it's not for you.

Just say you’re racist next time.

Nothing racist in wanting characters as described.

​@@Music_Of_PhilosophyU will be fine and they are not a diversity hire. The author picked these kids to play his characters, move on

Y'all are crying because they didn't care about race nor facial features/physical appearance from the books when picking these kids and only care about the story, their personalities, and many details from the books at hand. U will be fine and the show is already finding success
