Hello, and welcome to another video! WE FINALLY HAVE OUR ANNABETH AND GROVER! I can't, I just can't anymore. Rick chooses the most inconvenient moments to reveal such crucial information, so if I fail my presentation tomorrow I'm blaiming it on his bad timing.
I hope you enjoy!

I mourn white Annabeth simply because I'm so used to her but there is no reason for me to not accept Leah Jeffries as her TV version. I just kinda hoped they would give her the eyes, same with basically every character actually, the eyes are always the most important part. But they confirmed the actors won't be wearing any wigs or contacts 🥲

There's a difference between representation and racism/ignorance. Every black character that we see(from white to black or in general) gives representation to people who never saw themselves onscreen at all. Changing those characters to white takes that away. Even now we don't really see black characters in shows/movies just as black characters, they always have to explain their culture to others and that goes for other races as well. This is just an explanation, not to be rude.

Some time after the first Harry Potter movie came out (possibly after the second one came out as well), I saw the 1999 BBC miniseries of David Copperfield starring Daniel Radcliffe and Maggie Smith. I later listened to the full audiobook of David Copperfield and pictured him as the actors I'd seen in that miniseries. And the same happened when I was 11 and actually read the entire book. And yet when I saw the poster for the 2019 movie 'The Personal History of David Copperfield' and saw Dev Patel on the cover, I felt I could still see David Copperfield. That movie made many, MANY changes to the plot line, but I found myself enjoying it in spite of all those changes. And regardless as to the race of the actors, I could still see the characters I'd known for years in their performances. Neither adaptation lessened in my eyes based on either of them. If you don't get stuck on one image of a character and don't get stuck on the fear that you'll be disappointed and might not see the characters in the actors performances, you may find yourself enjoying their performance and believing that they are those characters. Enjoy your mental pictures as if they were actors in an earlier adaptation, and enjoy the performances these teenagers will give in their own adaptation.

It's time already to stop labeling people "racist" just because they don't like who has been casted as a character that has been described for ages totally different from the actors. Yes, it's stupid to blame them and I really hope people don't bully these young actors who are kids!!! BUT, I'm sure they just did this for nowadays pressure to have representation, which I totally support, just not the way they did it. Rick has already written a lot of characters from different backgrounds, they didn't have to change a character we've known for almost 20 years now (I think) just to fit a certain social requirement. Can you imagine if they did the kane chronicles and carter was fair? Or Frank not Asian Canadian? I'd rage!!! It seems like we can't complain about these things without people immediately telling us we're bad people. I really hate that they changed a character I love so much just because they want to seem inclusive when they could've done it any other way with the rest of characters that appear in these books. I was really excited about the show but with this my expectations have lowered. Edit: let this be a space where people can disagree about something without idiots being idiots. If you agree, comment in another comment that agrees with the casting, if not, see you never alligator!!!!

you are very annoying. annabeth's ethnicity and race aren't really relevant for her character as opposed to frank, whose ethnicity and race ARE really relevant for his character so your comparison made 0 sense. annabeth's appearance wasn't "changed to fit a social requirement", rick just chose based on how she was able to portray annabeth, not how she looks, it's clear the girl is really talented. also nobody gives a fuck what you thought about the will smith situation; you are just saying lots of things that are wrong. i'm not calling you racist but this certainly is an odd reaction to have only because its a black girl. as i've said before, annabeth's race, ethnicity and/or looks have never been really relevant to her character, aside from the gray eyes but that's easily fixable, so i don't know why you're so upset about it.

I had a thought that I'd love to discuss considering the discussion currently happening. Annabeth's original look is completely different from the actress that they chose to portray her. I have no doubt in Leah's acting abilities, she is no doubt more than capable, especially with the individual shot of her displaying the personality we all know Annabeth has. The casting of Aryan as Grover didn't stick out to me as much, as I cannot remember the specific details of the original look. My question is within Rick Riordan. When the original Percy Jackson series was published, it had characters that were white and straight (at least in canon) and the token diverse characters. In Heroes of Olympus, there is much more diversity when considering. Then, when we go to the newer series (Kane Chronicles, Trials of Apollo, Magnus Chase), and diversity is obvious and those characters also play important roles. Progress is important, and I'm all for it. But is the amount of diversity now common among the newer books of Rick Riordan and the casting really a sign of progress or simply someone getting the memo of "we need more diverse books" and attempting to answer to that? Tell me what you think, I'm genuinely curious. I'm excited to see where this adaptation goes, however. And remember, no hate towards any of the actors because of the way they look.
@brebee7883

Seeing the research that Riordian did towards his diverse characters, I think its progress. He doesn't include stereotypes, and if he does, he does it in a way that builds and fits with the character's morals and personality: example Samirah having an arranged marriage, but being excited about it and having the character explain why. I think he saw the feedback from the first series, reevaluated, and put in real effort to make sure everyone has someone that they can relate to.

I was happy with the progress from series to series. The growth felt natural and the characters we loved got to join a very diverse group, similar to my own friend group, with people from all over the racial map. Now with this casting, it just feels wrong. The girl they chose for Annabeth looks like Hazel. The boy for Percy looks like Will Solace. I don’t think established characters’ race should be changed in any way. I think we need new characters who are written as diverse to begin with. I say this as a Latin American. Make new characters, write new books, but don’t change the past for shallow diversity. I say dive in head on! Annabeth is a blond white girl from Virginia as much as Hazel is a cinnamon-haired Black girl from New Orleans.

I don’t doubt Leah’s acting ability, but I think the casting choice itself was not the greatest

The attitudes of the characters are so perfect, even though they aren’t absolutely book descriptions, I love them so much!💖 I think the reason more people are going to accept the differences in looks, is for two reasons. The actors have some of the best personalities for the characters, and the plot and other features are going to be overall better. I personally didn’t mind Annabeth’s brown hair until they screwed up the plot and her attitude. I can definitely say that won’t be the case here.

This is one of my all time favorite books series and my standards were set high. It was very specific in the books. I mean, there are so many actors out there that could end up fitting the role.

On one aspect, I did read first 5 books years ago and right away, the books were very descriptive about what characters look like and so forth. So it has been in our book minds of what these characters look like (to each of our own interpretations, slight variations) for years and whom we have grown up with even. As well their personalities over time of the characters gradually changing. So in a way, I think we really can't disregard book readers to just be oh get over with it and such. As I'm pretty sure there was a time when there was a book you loved being adapted into a film medium and not exactly who you envisioned it in your mind. It's going to take some time to get use to. As some book readers (not all of us) will find it hard to adjust with the casting choices for any of the characters. It's a jerk reaction of not expected this and that. However though from another perspective, the actors displaying the characters' personalities is important as well to the point hopefully we'll see oh yeah that's Percy or Annabeth and so forth. And hopefully these young actors are picked for the job because of the potential that the director/directors and writers saw of the character interpretations. With good reasons and not because of a checkbox. I have seen many casting choices of actors being picked for a role only because so and so fit the diverse checkbox and not for the acting ability. Basically only being used and not valuing any actors' abilities. So in some way, it should be a concern, a perspective you can say. As It has happened numerous times and especially these recent years. Not only for their acting skills, it's essential that the main cast actually has a good chemistry to each other from an acting perspective. If there is no good or lack of chemistry, then a show falls apart. Who honestly knows if this show will be good. Just because Rick (he does seem far more happier though and good to see the man be excited for a project he's involved in) is more part of the process and he has more say, doesn't automatically mean the show is in good hands. We need to think and hope everyone involved in this project are not only fans themselves, but have passion for the world and its characters for the show to really work. As it is still very early with the show so far. And I hope that this Percy Jackson show will be close enough to the source materials, the story, the themes, and the characters. Sorry if I said too much.

It's so hard to explain this when characters are race-swapped from caucasian to another ethnicity - The Last Airbender film was railed for portraying asian and Inuit cultures as white, with some even criticizing the Fire Nation's change from Japanese to Indian, but for some reason it's racist here. Maybe try sticking to the source material - if the ethnicity of a character is just never mentioned in the book, then who cares what the audiences preconceived notions were? But Annabeth was specifically portrayed on the cover of House of Hades and described elsewhere as having a particular appearance ("tan skin, grey eyes, and blonde hair"), so why change it? Still excited though, lol

Well since the filming hasn't even started yet we have no way of knowing what their chemistry will be like together or whether or not they'll give a good performance. We would've faced that risk that there would be bad performances or lack of chemistry no matter who they'd casted, because sometimes that happens. This show always had just as much a chance of being disappointing as the movie was regardless of what the actors looked like. But since it hasn't been released yet, we have no way of knowing if it will be bad or not. So maybe we should wait and give the show a go before stating that they may only have been cast to fill a checklist box.

I have no problem with representation in books or movies. But if you have a non-binary character or an Asian character in a book, I imagine them as that. Same with Annabeth, many people have an image of her that's ingrained in their minds and then seeing something completely different is very puzzling and many are going to show resistance to this new Annabeth. I thought when Rick said he was making the adaptation more book appropriate I thought that applied to the characters, but apparently not. My point is, if he had no worries completely changing the main characters then why should we expect he's not going to change other things? It's not entirely because of this new casting, but the concerns I have for the future, that my hype, that was really high before, is definitely fluctuating. I'll just have to wait until the show comes out though.

Why is it so hard to get an actor that resembles the character that is being described in the books in great details? She's the daughter of Athena so this make no sense. I've nothing against the actress she looks very talanted and happy to get the role, and maybe she will change my mind after I see the TV show but can we please stop with the racism card just because we disagree with a casting choice? Diversity is great as long as it servers the story well, and this being about Greek mythology it doesn't make sense in my eyes, especially as the books describe her in great detail that's relevant to her character and origin.

I'm sorry but that is a bit of a tough pill to swallow. I obviously have nothing against the actors themselves and normally it would make no difference to me whether characters are black or white. Literally one of my favourite comedy shows of all time is Family Matters, where most of the characters are black, and it's great. But Annabeth...I just cannot see her black. Grover I can see, but Annabeth, no. Continuity and consistency is very important to me especially when moving a book to media, and this is nothing like how Annabeth is visualized. It is going to be exceptionally hard to adapt to seeing this show as the Percy Jackson universe my subconscious knows so well, and it's going to make getting invested in this show MUCH harder. I'm sure that she's a great actor and my final judgement will be left for the show itself, but...I just really can't accept it.

Not hating but this kinda feels weird ; ( I am brown so plz don't come at me with WP) One of the reasons I think a majority of the fandom was hyped for the show was because of " Book-accurate-portrayal". The hair and the eyes 👁️ : aren't an issue , all one needs is a wig and or contacts which is pretty cool. However, she may be a very bright and potent actor but however I feel the sole issue lies in the fact that Annabeth's traits are very definitive throughout the book and pretty much anyone involved in the fandom has been conditioned to believe that. That being said she does not deserve the racist comments passed. Blonde+Grey eyes + tanned skin + White skin . And frankly I am shocked that Rick has been involved here. Word says that 12000 girls were involved in the auditions and there were frankly more accurate portrayals. Also just asking how do you gauge a persons personality based off a single audition??? They are meant to be actors , personality traits are meant to be secondary not primary when auditioning for a role since well forming false personalities on set is what acting is about. Secondly , god forbid the show ends up like the movies... But if people find it to be lacking , Annabeths casting will be the first one to be attacked by a LOT of trolls ; even if she delivers a once in a lifetime performance : the casting choice will be attacked and the girl could go through some serious confidence issues in that aspect. Lastly I feel that Rick uses inclusion just to sell his books more frankly rather than make an effect. I feel that this recent stunt of his has exposed him cleanly. If he actually cared of inclusivity , he would legit have stuck to the Original char designs instead of pulling a 180 , if character appearances don't matter that much; why did he criticise the casting of the movies??

He could’ve easily provided us with a great actor with a better accurate description of annabeth (what we were conditioned to believe what she looked like in the books) and made a lot of the cast diverse. I personally think that there is a lack of authenticity in Annabeth character if they still try to make her look like she did in the books. If they throw a blond wig on her with the princess curls that Percy describes it would totally ruin the vibes and throw me off. I don’t think it would look right at all for her as a character. I mean maybe once I see it I can accept it but right now I really can’t see her with the blonde wig on having princess curls. Idk I hope this is understandable and not like hateful in anyway. I probably missed something I wanted to say but whatever

For me, finding the right actors has never been about hair color, eye color, skin color, or any other single physical trait, even if they were described a certain way in the books. As many of you know, I flubbed such details myself several times in the series. Thalia’s eyes changed from green to blue. Oops! Annabeth’s hair was curly and then it was straight. Nico was described as olive-skinned, then later as pale. Blackjack even changed from a mare to a stallion over the course of two books. Whelp, not sure what happened there, but too late now! If I may invoke the Movies That Shall Not Be Watched, I know a lot of you cared deeply and were unhappy when Annabeth turned out to be a brunette rather than blonde, but for me, that was never the main issue. What mattered were that those actors, as talented and wonderful as they are, were WAY too old for the parts as I wrote them, and their age was central to the plot. What I want to see are age-appropriate actors who can embody the personalities of the characters, nail their voices and their sense of humor, and make you believe: “Yes, that is Percy. That is Grover. That is Annabeth,” even if they’re not exactly how the characters were described physically in the books. Again, that’s just my personal opinion and my approach. -Rick Riordan

Here we go again with the racist card... Can it just be that we want authentic actors that suits the story, and in this case being based on Greek mythology I'd imagine they would cast someone who is more believable of being the daugther of Athena the godess of wisdom, or you mean to tell me now that Athena was also black? I'm sure these actors are very talented and I wish them all the best and I have nothing against these kids, but would you say the same thing if this was reversed? Having a white person play a black character especially as a main character as well? No the internet would cancel culture this into oblivion. Why the double standards? I'm all for diversity as long as it makes sense for the story, but I don't agree with changing it just for the sake of diversity and not serve the story well like in this case. Anyway, we can't change this and we can only hope that they make it a good TV story but please stop with throwing out the racist card just because people disagree with the casting as it has nothing to do with racism.

Riordan said in his post that he saw Annabeth when he saw her act with Walker and Aryah, and that she is "exactly the way I imagined Annabeth in the books". So no casting bashing. They are young teenagers who already have both the weight and the excitement of being part of a long awaited highly anticipated adaptation of a famous book series, they do not need extra pressure from or for that excitement to be taken away by people complaining about them. Riordan gave them all the ok, he knows the characters better than any of us. And I expect all of us to be there to defend them if they hear of anyone giving them a bad time just because they 'don't look like they did in the books' - but to defend them in a respectful, non-violent, non offensive or abusive way else our defence will loose its value.

I'm so happy we finally have our main trio! I don't know if the casting for Annabeth and Grover are right (In looks) but I won't judge without trying it out. I trust Rick. It he says it's right, i believe him. I'm so excited!! And Happy Birthday, Aryan! 10/10!

Some of these comments are not it😕 I understand many of you guys are disappointed that you won’t get to see a book accurate Annabeth on-screen, and that’s fine. But you just have to have trust in Rick and the casting director that they casted the right girl. As a black girl myself, I was so stoked when I saw Leah as Annabeth. Yeah, she wasn’t how I imagined her from the books, but so what? As long as she gives a great performance as Annabeth, it’s not that big of a deal. Plus, she could always dye her hair or get extensions to be blonde😁.

Exactly. Well, many of us had imagined Annabeth as a fair and blonde girl with stormy grey eyes but that don't only potray the traits we gotta look for Annabeth. Smart, elegant, wise, humorous, loyal, lovable and brave.. that's what we understand when Annabeth walks into the screen. And apart from that, when Riordan is himself ever ecstatic and satisfied with the cast, i can't wait for the series to be aired!

(I’m not tryna be rude) who do white blondes have to look up to and relate to now tho? Also Rick is a hypocrite for getting mad at the movies for giving her brown hair. This is all I’m mad about, other than that I’m sure she’s a great actor and she’ll do good.

@@pinkpastelic5312 A LOT of other characters from other shows and movies. Annabeth not being one won’t kill anyone. And Rick never got mad at Annabeth for not having dark hair, he didn’t care about that. He was mad that she was too old and her personality was all wrong.

The fact that it hasn’t even been a day yet and people are already hating on Leah.. y’all Ik you wanted a book accurate show so did I for a little bit but after a while I honestly didn’t care what they would look like as long as they do good and bring the characters to life! Yes everyone is aloud to have your own opinion on the cast and a right to feel disappointed but we should at least give them a chance since the show isn’t out yet!

Ngl I'm actually glad she's black. Just from the thumbnail she looks so excited! I'm so happy for her. Can't wait to see where she takes this, hopefully pretty close to book annabeth's personality.

Guys remember that the original movies weren't unsuccessful because of poor casting (not saying this is poor casting, that's just how people are taking it), but because of the writing technique and the poor adaptations, I'm talking about excluding characters, scenes, and entire plotlines.

Disclaimer: im not hating on the actress Character wise, i had no doubt she can carry the Annabeth role, its just that we've grown up reading about Annabeth's appearance and how it effects her. Tho im open to change some stuff. Im okay with this casting but i cant say that it wont feel a little weird

who cares? rick made it clear from the beginning that he didnt care about the appearance of the actors and would be casting for talent & those who matched the personality of characters. anyway appearance is not that important in the grand scheme of things. annabeth is my favourite character but its not because of her appearance, its because of who she is as a person. her appearance doesnt affect that. as long as the actress gets the character right its a good casting choice. PLUS, she has blonde braids on her instagram, so shes matching the blonde thing rn. and its not like ur pfp matches the annabeth described in the books anyway - she was said to have a "deep tan." your pfp does not match that. so dont complain about accuracy please
