You should do the Outsiders I think you would really like doing it. (Even though there are a lot of characters in the book the movie does not do them justice) Also the description of the characters is in the very first couple of pages,
Movie Annabeth: *flirty and acting so much like she has a crush* Book Annabeth: you drool in your sleep, seaweed brain, *literally doesn’t even hint at it till 3rd book*
Except, that's how kids are *always* depicted when showing someone they have a crush on them... It was better than the weird, forced handshake between Ron and Hermione in Chamber of Secrets...
My problem was that they ruined the character arks of everyone. Making the prophecy an evil soul instead of a hero's soul means Luke won't be redeemed, making Kronos not take over Luke's body takes away all of Annabeth's conflict, and cutting it down by 2 movies means no one gets an ark
Miles Life hope they do a remake i think its very possible. I think most people didnt mind how the characters looked its the supporting characters lack of development
Also abt grover they changed hi character (i feel like) the most. Just look at the lotus scene .i mean isnt this suposed to be for yung adults or 9-12 in our country?

So they turned a book for nerdy kids that featured interesting and complex characters into some primitive fratboy teenage flick. How many more movie adaptations will Hollywood ruin before it has enough money to choke on, srsly.
Holy fucking shit Rick Riordan roasted the shit out of them "If i was trying to sabotage this project, i couldnt have done a better job than this script"
They took Percy's loserness and made him cool. They took Annabeth's kick-butt attitude and made her useless. They took Grover's pining away at the hunters of Artemis and made him a pervert.
Nico first came in the Titans curse and luckily they didn’t make another movie because they would make him a bad character just like the rest of the movie characters
Grover in the movie: hero, brave,ladies man,popular Grover in the book: cries in the corner while Ananabeth is fighting with an Ares kid for picking on him
I mean, I really liked seeing a black disables guy being really charming (when he has the crutches -sorry don't know if it's a real word), it felt like good representation... if he had had a more active role tho.
@@sarasthoughts I didn't mind him being black, I actually though it was an improvement, but he isn't technically disabled. The crutches are to hide his goat legs, but on the bright side most demigods are dyslexic and have ADHD. it's the personality I had a problem with
One Blue Duck! Same- Seaweed brain is an absolute necessity. Just do that at. Least. Once. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. Just have Annabeth walk up to Percy and say “Hey, Seaweed Brain.” That’s all I need. That’s it. But no.
Grover was one of the most adorable, sweet shy and cute character in the whole book, when I watched the first 30 min of the movie I slammed my laptop shut and cursed them to die in tartarus.
The book: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. The movie: Peter Jhonson and the Sparkly Stick. The book: Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. The movie: Peter Jhonson and the Bermuda Triangle
Honestly yeah. They should create enjoyable content with morals and themes that relate and correspond to the book, not movies that is just one out of millions of others left on the shelf for the rest of eternity (especially when that book is actually really freaking good. The crazy intense stuff starts more book 4, book 5 for anyone who is wondering. For the others, sit back and watch our character suffer and grow up into a lifestyle of betrayal, death, and insanity)
Yeah Uncle Rick should have! And btw I'm so glad that they didn't make HOO a movie or KC and MC because damn I dont know what I would do if they try to
@@clnne I low-key want PJO to be an animated TV show tbh. That way they don't have to worry about CGI and making things realistic and also producers aren't limited by the choice of actors in Hollywood.
same thing!! i knew the movie first and then found out it was 'based' on a book series so i read them and my life has never been better than knowing the original plot of the book; i've had issues about the movie's plot since first watch it's just so weird and doesn't make any sense
I honestly love how each book picked up after the other one and seeing percy started to grow up and be comfortable using his power. It ones my favorite part, AND THEY REMOVED IT!! WHY?
@@Coffnist_Charm plus, the whole point is that he’d reach the age of 16 against all odds. He’d start a whole war when he reached 16, so they just completely ruined that
It’s a common thing done with movies, sadly. Like with the Giver, they only aged Jonas up so he could have a love arc with Fiona, which never happened in the book.
Fans: **walk into production studio** guys you do know Annabeth's supposed to be blonde right? They describe her that way in the book. Producers: Wait... there was a book?
"Could you do a glamour and turn into something smaller?" "Such as what?" "I dunno. Something pocket-size and innocuous. A pen, maybe?" "A pen sword. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard" THE SHADE LMAOOOOOOO
I don't think that Hailey did this on purpose but- I appreciate the fact that on the neck up shot Annabeth's eyes look a lot like owl eyes. It's fitting because owls are a popular symbol for Athena, her mother
Here’s what I think happened: Producers: Hey we need someone to play this 12 yr old boy 18 to 21 yr old guy walks in: hey I’d like to play Percy Jackson? The ONE producer who cares about the book: bro you’re an adul- 18 to 21 yr old guy squats down and says in a high pitched voice: I’m 12 what do you mean Other producers: cool you’re hired
Harry Potter movies: So let's be accurate to the books, consult and respect the author, have JK heavily involved, only cut when necessary Percy Jackson Movies: *We don't do that here*
I remember being the most angry about how the changed clarisse when I was younger, just because of how obviously “beautified” she was. She’s this wide shouldered, muscular, more “masculine” teenage girl. She’s scary and aggressive and a bully, not a super skinny, sexy, mean girl.
i despise how they turned Annaberg, a good rep of a strong female role into a “uwu i’m just a love interest that’s super pretty and doesn’t do anything”
Books: Percy Jackson Annabeth Chase Grover Underwood Chiron Clarrise LaRue Movies: Peter Johnson Anniebell Run Grunter Overlog HorseDude Clarskinnies LalalalaPoo
People think Romeo and Juliet are star crossed lovers? Move over, Percy’s dad and Annabeth’s mom hate each other so much that their kids usually don’t get along that well.
I’m very glad that Disney is supposed to be making a adaptation series with the cannon ages and that supposed to follow the cast as they grow up. Hopefully we’ll get to see it and possibly see characters we didn’t get to in the movies(specifically Nico and Leo).
@@sofiavarena1524 I'll cry if I see the movie version of Leo, because he's so cute and imagining him as a 30- year- old man is just haunting. PLUS Nico will probably end up looking like the actor they cast for Percy tbh
I used to draw him a lot and never get him right, he's not that well described in the earlier books and I wasn't so good at art when I was 12... 😂 I can relate.
Annabeth is probably the most resourceful and level-headded character in the book, but they completely chopped off all of her interesting traits and made her "strong generic female love interest girl" in the "movie" (Using the term movie very lightly)
She was also strong too and that coincides with being resourceful and level-headed? Why is general strength of character an issue to you for a female character? Especially when it's already accurate?
annabeth is like opposite hermione, instead of taking away all her imperfections and making her the perfect character they took away all her positive traits
what they did is unforgivable, even more so in the second CATASTROPHY of a movie for Sea of Monsters; the movies will be dissed until the end of time itself
Lavender: “There is a lack of black characters in fantasy stories...” Me, who is reading The Mark of Athena now: HAZEL! HAZEL! WE ARE BREAKING THE RULES WITH HAZEL!
Book: Annabeth and Percy are both 12 years old. Annabeth has honey blonde hair and beautiful princess curls. She has gray eyes. Movie: Haha, we don't do that here.
When I first saw Annabeth in the movie I was like: Oh, there comes Clarisse Books: She has blonde hair Movie: I'm sure that's no too important Books: Her eyes are grey Movie: The contacts are really expensive, we'll live without it Books: She has a deep tan Movie: Well, we haven't commited to any of the other stuff, so why commit to this? Books: She is muscular Movie: Nah, let's just make her have a classic movie star body. Also: Annabeth literally lost a fight to Percy, who has no training WHATSOVER after doing nothing but training for five years (well actually in the movies it has to be more, since the actress is like 20), and then she's all like: Oh, you're gonna need me on this quest, i have more experience and am a better fighter than you. Me: Yeah roight
I absolutely HATE how useless they made Annabeth, actually, most of the girls seem absolutely useless in every situation, yet Percy, a boy, who didn't know anything about his powers, BEATS Annabeth, someone who has been coming to the camp for YEARS. Idk about anyone else but that seems kinda sexist on the movie's behalf. edit: guys this comment is 2 years old and just restates something said in the video you've got to stop liking it-
I wonder if they watched the Harry Potter movies. Hermione was acted so well by Emma Watson. She even plays a good role in the movies. Annabeth on the other hand..... i'm not so sure.
YESSSS, I'm black and I hate what they did to Grover. Like they made him loud and obnoxious, like he only cared about girls and stuff which is SO WRONG book Grover is the exact opposite of movie Grover
@@illstealyourkneecaps694 I know! Like the movie people could’ve just changed his skin tone and kept his personality or changed his personality and kept his skin tone they didn’t have to make the movie even more stereotypical than it already is
@@princelyhairdos EXCACTLY, I'm fine with him being black but they took away what made Grover well, GROVER. He's not supposed to be all confident and stuff he's supposed to be shy and unassuming, that's why its so cool when he does something super brave
Movie Percy when he gets Riptide: A pen? But it's a sword? How does that happen? That isn't physically possible. A pen? A sword? Book Percy when he gets Riptide: lol gimme it
@@LunaIsMentallyDead I find a lot of both memes and other general fan depictions of Percy are a bit on the dumb jokester side then a smart but oblivious kid
I wanted to die after what they did to Annabeth. The reason her character looked like a stereotypical valley girl was to highlight how enemies could easily underestimate her much like Athena. Athena, her Mom, was underestimated in the Greek times because of her femininity and yet she is one of the most bad ass Greek goddesses of all time. In the movie, they were trying to make Annabeth "bad ass" by making her look less stereo typically girly, while at the same time, making her really boring.
I've never read Percy jackson, I've only seen the movies, but I'm really into mythology and after I finished the first movie I was like "WHAT THE HELL HOW IS THAT GIRL THE DAUGHTER OF ATHENA WTF ATHENA IS THE MOST BADASS INTELLIGENT WISE DEITY IN THE OLYMPUS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT GIRL THEY *MUST* HAVE MADE A MISTAKE SHE CAN'T BE ATHENA'S DAUGHTER" and now I guess I was on point😂
My opinion: JUST BECAUSE YOU GIVE A GIRL A SWORD THAT DOESN’T MAKE HER INTERESTING! That’s how most movies portray “powerful” female protagonists and it pisses me off. I’m a girl and I find that more offensive then not having female protagonists because then people are like, “Stop complaining, female protagonists are normal now.” And I’m like “NO! THERE NOT! IM NOT JUST GONNA SIT HERE AND ACCEPT THE BARE MINUM!” (Oof, sorry for this dumb rant.)
rick riordan : let’s write annabeth as an intelligent, useful, strong main character while still having subtle hints for her role as a love interest. screenplay writers : uh? pretty girl who percy likes. yes. perfect.
@hades child I disagree, it's only confusing when the characters change ccompletely like the sorts of Percy Jackson. Recently they casted a black woman to play Hamlet and idk if you had the opportunity to see it, it's truly TRULY remarkable how her character is portrayed, I'll go as far as saying it is the best possible casting. Sometimes the source material needs some updating and I'll welcome all diversity, as long as the core of the story remains the same.
@hades child YOU can't do that because YOU are a real person, characters in another hand get updated all the time. For instance, A Star Is Born just got its third or fourth adaptation to cinema, but we all can understand that, while it is an updated rendition, the core of the story remained the same. Broadway has revivals all the time and as long as they take time to establish the characters, how is that possibly going to get confusing? The new Enjolras from Les Mis is black, but everything about him screams young revolutionary so no one is confused at all! The problem with Percy Jackson in particular is that while they did insert some diversity with the casting of Grover, his entire personality was butchered!
@hades child you sound very young so I'll just say this: art, literature, cinema... All of those things are in constant mutation. The way we, in our time, view characters like Darth Vader or Gandalf will change inevitably because of our time, but while our interpretations may change, the core of those characters as they were written should stay the same, don't you agree? The color of their skin doesn't have to change anything about the characters essence! A good script writer will be able to translate the original work to screen and tthere's that. The problem with Percy Jackson, once again, is that the characters weren't adapted properly. Grover can be black, Percy could be Asian and Annabeth could be middle eastern, as long as their personalities align with the ones from the book, why should it be confusing? It's only confusing in Percy Jackson because Grover was supposed to be a sweet flower child whereas the films kind of made him look like a jerk-y womanizer.
@hades child Sorry if I made you angry, but you said you didn't know Les Mis, which to me indicates that you haven't had the opportunity to read it in high school yet. I think you missed my point entirely. I'm simply saying a race change in a character doesn't change its essence at all. We are simply having a conversation, let's be mature about it.
Harry Potter at least had the excuse of their being so many characters in the books that get development, but in Percy Jackson and the olympians there's like 5-6 main characters you have to develop. Percy, Annabeth, Grover (not as much as the first two), Tyson, Nico, and Luke.
As a twelve-year-old, I did not pay that much attention to clothes. So I don't think Percy would, either, unless it is very distinctive (like the Camp Half-Blood shirt). I definitely appreciate how difficult it made it for you, though. A single, young POV makes things difficult to adequately describe unless it is super important or distinctive.
I just remember in one of the promotional interviews with the actors, they were asked about the blue food and all the actors looked really confused. That was the moment I knew this was not gonna be a faithful adaptation.
Book Annabeth: Described as having tanned skin, stormy grey eyes and in a book scene where she is sitting with her siblings it's said "They all had athletic build and honey blond hair" Movie: Brown hair and green eyes, looks 20 years old
Multiple artist renditions in books and wikis: Grover is a wimpy, cinnamon roll, scrawny white kid Hollywood: did you mean a strapping, charismatic black dude?
In the movie, Annabeth seemed like a really snotty annoying person to me. In the books, she was someone I looked up to. And, I was also upset about what they did to her in the movies.
You know, I'm SO happy to see this comment, because my brother was (as still is) really into Percy Jackson books but I knew little about them, so when I watched this movie with my brother, I thought these were the actual characters, and I still haven't read Percy Jackson, but I am planning on it very soon because I am reading the Magnus Chase series at the moment, but I can just say I hated how they were portrayed in the movie and kind of made me not want to read the rest of the books, but now that I got descriptions of the actual characters, I am more than excited to read them!
the inaccuracies with annabeth in the movie pisses me off because it was so glaringly easy to make her blonde, i feel like they just didnt want to make a smart blonde character, it didnt even matter in the end because they made her absolutely useless in the movie, it just feels like they didn't want to make any of them interesting or complex like they were in the books, so the directors just fell on old tropes of, "useless woman," "cool badass protagonist," and "comic relief minority side character" for the main three
A some directors tend to make female characters helpless or kinda dumb even when the books they adapted it from clearly state they’re powerful girls/women. Its quite upsetting.
I've actually started to noticed that recently! Like the main girl of the group is always super smart and powerful, but always ends up being "bested" by the inexperienced, average joe, male lead, as soon as he enters her scene!
Kristen C. I've noticed this as well! However, it's typically because they're more focused on marketing and think an inferior, appealing girl love interest will bring in more money. Seeing how lav designed her though, she has such a great character design in this aspect!! The love interest role is becoming so dumb and overused, especially when they dumb down the girl just to have her there.
Guys do tend to like powerful male main characters more than girls, but I don't think anyone in this day and age would want some helpless girl to be the love of their life. And that's not a feminist thing, it's just a fact that people don't like being highly depended on and no one regardless of gender wants someone that incompetent. It's why you're seeing more and more rep for females, especially with the action scene now. Of course, you'll still have beefy masculine men leads but if you look at superhero movies right now, we're seeing more powerful and or smart women, better than the men in some cases, or at least more inspiring (Wonder Woman, Black Widow, to name the obvious. Don't wanna bore you with a list) Yeah they may not get their own movies or shows as much but that's basic business and brand awareness. Name the most iconic superheroes in the world and you'll name basically all men except Wonder Woman. If the characters sold well, they'll get a movie. That being said, if a strong character who just happens to be female is in something you're adapting, why would you make them weak because they just happen to be female? If this happened with male secondary characters it wouldn't be as bad, but these producers sincerely don't know who they're marketing to anymore. No one wanted to see this garbage movie so they couldn't make a third like they were setting up with Thalia. Thank god honestly, I don't want to see how they could've fucked up her, Nico and Bianca
You know what really annoys me about the movies? Annabeth's reaction to learning about Luke's betrayal. In the books Annabeth and Luke have been friends for ages, Annabeth looks up to him and has a crush on him... and yet, in the movie she just calmy comes to the conclusion that he betrayed them and has absolutely no reaction to finding this out. It really annoys me
and in later books she continues to like admire him and even deny it in some cases. She still like holds onto the fact that Luke was one of her favorite people even when he kidnapped her and tried to kill her. She still denied that he was fully bad and it like actually hurts her that he turned out the way he did.
i find it interesting how they had no problem casting a black actor when they needed pop culture references, one liners, and comedic relief but, when they need the female love interest, the description of “tan skin” is nonexistent.
Phoebe Sachs IKR the hunger games movies were actually really good but some aspects didn’t fulfill me same with harry potter but percy jackson is ANOTHER THINF

“I have feelings for you. I’m just not sure if they’re positive or negative yet.” Just Why? Why do that?? She’s literally only there as a romantic interest and a decade later it *still* pisses me off.
Leo described her as "scary blonde girl." Then Magnus described her as "if she was looking for me, I didn't want to be found. She was scary." Lol everyone thinks she's scary.
Just saying, but percy describes her when she's 12 and even then he saw she was intense. Leo sees her when she's 16 which is after she's been on a few quests, fought in a war, had to go through the whole luke thing, and had her boyfriend kidnapped. She grew into her scary appearance.
“I had about twice as many notes about Annabeth as I did about either of the male main characters, she just gets described a lot.” That my friend is because Percy is in love Also I’m aware I’m late
In case you’re wondering about the Grover skin description there’s actually a book for the series with depictions of all the characters and he’s a really pale ginger dude who looks like a stoner.
Every other fandom: They only used 3/4 of the book none of the good details about the book were used. UGH Percy Jackson Fandom: *sobbing in the corner looking like Nico after Bianca died"
Rick: *Makes Anabeth a Independent strong young-woman* Movies: *Makes her the damsel in distress and the helpless love interest* Me: WHAT DID YOU DO TO ANABETH!!!! HAVE YOU EVEN READ THE BOOKS!!! THEY EXIST! Movie: Percy Jackson books who??
Dull_Demon47 Dull_Demon47 I remember there was this video where the actors of the sea of monsters were looking at comments by fans and one of the fans mentioned about blue food and the actors were like “how is that even related to the movie” so yeah I’m pretty sure they had never read the books
@@emily-uo1et Theres a whole video of Rick being interviewed about this. They came to him, said they wanted to make a movie. He asked if he could have any say in how the movie would be done. They laughed at him and said no. But Rick still went for it because he thought it was the best way to get his book noticed, and it worked.
I feel like a lot of people tend to forget that Grover was described as having his horns hide under his hair. So thank you for not making his horns visible.

The crazy intense stuff starts more book 4, book 5 for anyone who is wondering. For the others, sit back and watch our character suffer and grow up into a lifestyle of betrayal, death, and insanity)

Fun fact: Percy being aged up is not only unnecessary but literally ruins the whole plot of the books
You CD?
I honestly love how each book picked up after the other one and seeing percy started to grow up and be comfortable using his power. It ones my favorite part, AND THEY REMOVED IT!! WHY?
@@Coffnist_Charm plus, the whole point is that he’d reach the age of 16 against all odds. He’d start a whole war when he reached 16, so they just completely ruined that
Also he's supposed to be dead because demigods usually die young without a lot of training.
It’s a common thing done with movies, sadly. Like with the Giver, they only aged Jonas up so he could have a love arc with Fiona, which never happened in the book.
The funny thing about the woman who plays Annabeth is that she’s blond in every other project she’s done, so they dyed her hair dark FOR THE MOVIE.😂
Whyyyyyyyyy
I swear Disney+ needs to at least make her blonde, otherwise they are gonna get steamrolled by all of the PJO fans...

I wanted to die after what they did to Annabeth. The reason her character looked like a stereotypical valley girl was to highlight how enemies could easily underestimate her much like Athena. Athena, her Mom, was underestimated in the Greek times because of her femininity and yet she is one of the most bad ass Greek goddesses of all time. In the movie, they were trying to make Annabeth "bad ass" by making her look less stereo typically girly, while at the same time, making her really boring.
I've never read Percy jackson, I've only seen the movies, but I'm really into mythology and after I finished the first movie I was like "WHAT THE HELL HOW IS THAT GIRL THE DAUGHTER OF ATHENA WTF ATHENA IS THE MOST BADASS INTELLIGENT WISE DEITY IN THE OLYMPUS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT GIRL THEY *MUST* HAVE MADE A MISTAKE SHE CAN'T BE ATHENA'S DAUGHTER" and now I guess I was on point😂
it was even mentioned she felt oppressed or something about being blonde in HOO
I KNOW! It really sucks like you don’t have to make them exactly how they are described but at least make them like their character.
Ikrrrrr maybe it's also because every Californian girl tho-
My opinion: JUST BECAUSE YOU GIVE A GIRL A SWORD THAT DOESN’T MAKE HER INTERESTING! That’s how most movies portray “powerful” female protagonists and it pisses me off. I’m a girl and I find that more offensive then not having female protagonists because then people are like, “Stop complaining, female protagonists are normal now.” And I’m like “NO! THERE NOT! IM NOT JUST GONNA SIT HERE AND ACCEPT THE BARE MINUM!” (Oof, sorry for this dumb rant.)

Ana não faria I agree grover is fibe no matter hiw he looks just as long as it matches his (book) personality.
@hades child I disagree, it's only confusing when the characters change ccompletely like the sorts of Percy Jackson. Recently they casted a black woman to play Hamlet and idk if you had the opportunity to see it, it's truly TRULY remarkable how her character is portrayed, I'll go as far as saying it is the best possible casting.
Sometimes the source material needs some updating and I'll welcome all diversity, as long as the core of the story remains the same.
@hades child YOU can't do that because YOU are a real person, characters in another hand get updated all the time.
For instance, A Star Is Born just got its third or fourth adaptation to cinema, but we all can understand that, while it is an updated rendition, the core of the story remained the same. Broadway has revivals all the time and as long as they take time to establish the characters, how is that possibly going to get confusing? The new Enjolras from Les Mis is black, but everything about him screams young revolutionary so no one is confused at all!
The problem with Percy Jackson in particular is that while they did insert some diversity with the casting of Grover, his entire personality was butchered!
@hades child you sound very young so I'll just say this: art, literature, cinema... All of those things are in constant mutation. The way we, in our time, view characters like Darth Vader or Gandalf will change inevitably because of our time, but while our interpretations may change, the core of those characters as they were written should stay the same, don't you agree? The color of their skin doesn't have to change anything about the characters essence! A good script writer will be able to translate the original work to screen and tthere's that.
The problem with Percy Jackson, once again, is that the characters weren't adapted properly. Grover can be black, Percy could be Asian and Annabeth could be middle eastern, as long as their personalities align with the ones from the book, why should it be confusing? It's only confusing in Percy Jackson because Grover was supposed to be a sweet flower child whereas the films kind of made him look like a jerk-y womanizer.
@hades child Sorry if I made you angry, but you said you didn't know Les Mis, which to me indicates that you haven't had the opportunity to read it in high school yet.
I think you missed my point entirely. I'm simply saying a race change in a character doesn't change its essence at all.
We are simply having a conversation, let's be mature about it.

@@anonymousanonymity2815 Man they didn't even get to *introduce* Nico!
As a twelve-year-old, I did not pay that much attention to clothes. So I don't think Percy would, either, unless it is very distinctive (like the Camp Half-Blood shirt).
I definitely appreciate how difficult it made it for you, though. A single, young POV makes things difficult to adequately describe unless it is super important or distinctive.

A some directors tend to make female characters helpless or kinda dumb even when the books they adapted it from clearly state they’re powerful girls/women. Its quite upsetting.
I've actually started to noticed that recently! Like the main girl of the group is always super smart and powerful, but always ends up being "bested" by the inexperienced, average joe, male lead, as soon as he enters her scene!
Kristen C.
I've noticed this as well! However, it's typically because they're more focused on marketing and think an inferior, appealing girl love interest will bring in more money. Seeing how lav designed her though, she has such a great character design in this aspect!! The love interest role is becoming so dumb and overused, especially when they dumb down the girl just to have her there.
Because they feel like love interest or damsels gives off that classic princess feel. When the main is a Male hero.
@@NothingGoodHere1001 welcome to sexism my dude
Guys do tend to like powerful male main characters more than girls, but I don't think anyone in this day and age would want some helpless girl to be the love of their life. And that's not a feminist thing, it's just a fact that people don't like being highly depended on and no one regardless of gender wants someone that incompetent. It's why you're seeing more and more rep for females, especially with the action scene now. Of course, you'll still have beefy masculine men leads but if you look at superhero movies right now, we're seeing more powerful and or smart women, better than the men in some cases, or at least more inspiring (Wonder Woman, Black Widow, to name the obvious. Don't wanna bore you with a list) Yeah they may not get their own movies or shows as much but that's basic business and brand awareness. Name the most iconic superheroes in the world and you'll name basically all men except Wonder Woman. If the characters sold well, they'll get a movie. That being said, if a strong character who just happens to be female is in something you're adapting, why would you make them weak because they just happen to be female? If this happened with male secondary characters it wouldn't be as bad, but these producers sincerely don't know who they're marketing to anymore. No one wanted to see this garbage movie so they couldn't make a third like they were setting up with Thalia. Thank god honestly, I don't want to see how they could've fucked up her, Nico and Bianca
You know what really annoys me about the movies? Annabeth's reaction to learning about Luke's betrayal. In the books Annabeth and Luke have been friends for ages, Annabeth looks up to him and has a crush on him... and yet, in the movie she just calmy comes to the conclusion that he betrayed them and has absolutely no reaction to finding this out. It really annoys me
OMG FR THO 💀
Like I expected her to be like "NO LUKE HOW COULD YOU"
instead she was like "Oh yeah I knew that."
"Family Luke, you promised" SOBBING
and in later books she continues to like admire him and even deny it in some cases. She still like holds onto the fact that Luke was one of her favorite people even when he kidnapped her and tried to kill her. She still denied that he was fully bad and it like actually hurts her that he turned out the way he did.
She should read/watch the second book/movie and fix Luke, Tyson and Clarisse
Very off topic and I havent finished the books but Tyson better than Grover. Why the fuck am I sharing this? I dont know
i find it interesting how they had no problem casting a black actor when they needed pop culture references, one liners, and comedic relief but, when they need the female love interest, the description of “tan skin” is nonexistent.

the hunger games fans: they removed madge from the films!
harry potter fans: they ruined ginny!
percy jackson fans: hold my ambrosia
But I’m in all three fandoms!! And I’m mad about all three!! But tbh Annabeth is definitely portrayed the worst of the three
Phoebe Sachs IKR the hunger games movies were actually really good but some aspects didn’t fulfill me same with harry potter but percy jackson is ANOTHER THINF
@@frogbysachs7559 their Annabeth was honestly so sexist.
And harry potter fans complain that ginny was runied cuz of her personality.
Try reading the Cirque Du Freak books and then watching the movie... travesty... this movie adaptation is golden by comparison.
I am so impressed. You’re really good at drawing, you pay attention to detail, and you’re doing us all a huge fan service.
"I didn't see him as a jokester mainly because he was pretty much suffering through out the books"
THANK YOU, HE'S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH
As he's progressed, he's actually started dropping that as a fact xD He's been through way too much, he *deserves* this or that, but the gods need him again... "*sigh* I've got you, but you owe me big time."
@@JanMaynz Yeah, like in the House Of Hades, he kinda loses control for a moment because, he "wanted to see just how much misery Misery could take"
@@okmillyy ME TOO, I really wish we could have seen more of it. I would have loved it, it's a real shame
yea he mainly used comedy as a cooping mechanism

Producers: *reading* “My name is Percy Jackson.” SWEET! Guess we got enough information to make a movie!
Me: *deep breath* n o
it surely seems like thats what they did
They didn't even read his age lol
i dont think they even read anything tbh
Nah mate, they probably just looked at the cover, title, asked somebody about like, 2 characters, and made the Peter Johnson franchise.
@@SamiStrawberryPie omg XD
OMG BY THE BOOK IS BACK
My teacher brought 25 of these books so we can read a chapter are two as a class
Me : wow I love Grover he’s such a cinnamon roll 🥰
Movie : nope
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM? I LITREALLY ALMOST LEFT MY CLASSROOM AFTER THAT FEDORA DANCE SCENE 😭
Harry Potter movie creators: *Try their hardest*
Percy Jackson movie creators: *“Aight, Ima head out”*
Lol XD
I actually found out that the Harry Potter director is the same director that made Percy Jackson
@@camsherm *shrug* I don't know
When the writer works on the movie (Harry Potter) vs when the author doesn't (Perry Johnson).
@@hunt3rxtr3me81 Exaxtly! Authors should pay attention to what's happening with the moviesa
Let’s be honest the Percy jackson movie was a disgrace to the series

Movie: *I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU AFTER ONE FIGHT!* 🤮
Book: *"You drool when you sleep."*
lmao she also had a big fat crush on luke
@GGR Makes yes ! 🤣🤣
mark's eyelash in book 5 she said she saw Luke more as a brother.
“I have feelings for you. I’m just not sure if they’re positive or negative yet.”
Just
Why?
Why do that?? She’s literally only there as a romantic interest and a decade later it *still* pisses me off.
Adrienne Kaio in Mark of Athena she said she had a crush on him, he was her first love, from her perspective

Honestly, it's okay to change Grover's physical look, but his personality is just NO.
yeah my friend and I thought he was toooo smooth as well as Persephone
Change his skin, change his race. Don’t care it wasn’t really described that much.
But for fucksake
DONT DESTROY MY SON.
what do you mean he doesnt have one in the movies
I quite like the black grover
Agreed
Leo described her as "scary blonde girl." Then Magnus described her as "if she was looking for me, I didn't want to be found. She was scary."
Lol everyone thinks she's scary.
Oh my gosh yesss🤣💯💯
you spelt mongo cheese wrong
ARAMIS NOEL-HEMMING yes
Except for Percy 😏
Just saying, but percy describes her when she's 12 and even then he saw she was intense. Leo sees her when she's 16 which is after she's been on a few quests, fought in a war, had to go through the whole luke thing, and had her boyfriend kidnapped. She grew into her scary appearance.
Movie adaptations really annoy me.
If your going to make a movie version of a very beloved book.
Do. It. Right.
Preach.
At this point, movie adaptations that do it right are as rare as diamonds.
Zea I apologize in advance. Oof so diamonds aren’t actually rare, it’s just a myth that jewelers made to sell more product
You learn something new everyday!
Arkwing_ 2.0 you don’t have to apologize for that lol. I can just change it to red diamonds because I heard those are the rarest

Book 1, page 11:
“Halfway up the steps, I glanced back at grover. He was looking a bit pale,”
PJO needs to be adapted into a cartoon/animated series that can stay loyal to the books.
Can she draw it please
Why doesn't this have more likes WE NEED THIS
Can i VA Annabeth plz and thnks
PETITION FOR THIS
Imperialx Warlord yES YES NOw
“I had about twice as many notes about Annabeth as I did about either of the male main characters, she just gets described a lot.”
That my friend is because Percy is in love
Also I’m aware I’m late
Yes
Percybeth team to the rescue!
Annabeth: *** *breathes* ***
Percy: talented, brilliant, incredible, spectacular, show stopping, never the same
@@omniomelet1472 “sum percabeth up in a few words”
LMFAOOOOO SO TRUE I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT
In case you’re wondering about the Grover skin description there’s actually a book for the series with depictions of all the characters and he’s a really pale ginger dude who looks like a stoner.
And he has like a hippie hat.
on the cover of trials of Apollo too
He reminds me of Shaggy
@@Cuteilation YES!
I was about to jokingly comment that Rick never used the word stoner to apply to Grover and I saw you had 420 likes lol
“I was like ‘…I have a few suggestions…’ and then I pulled out like twenty pages.”
Every other fandom: They only used 3/4 of the book none of the good details about the book were used. UGH
Percy Jackson Fandom: *sobbing in the corner looking like Nico after Bianca died"
RIP Bianca.
DON'T SPOILLLLLLLLLLLLL
@@sunnystars1280 she died but is doing fine lately
*tOO SOON*
Rip Bianca :(
Rick: *Makes Anabeth a Independent strong young-woman*
Movies: *Makes her the damsel in distress and the helpless love interest*
Me: WHAT DID YOU DO TO ANABETH!!!! HAVE YOU EVEN READ THE BOOKS!!! THEY EXIST!
Movie: Percy Jackson books who??
Which is really disappointing because Annabeth is my hero :(
What Percy Jackson movies? Oh, you mean the Potato Janitor movies?
In a movie interview, someone said ‘do you like blue food?’ And the actors were like ‘wut. What does that have to with Percy Jackson?!’
@@lucikka3674 That made me sooooo *_triggered._*
@@eebertdeebert Wow. Potato Janitor...I should use that more often.
Rick: I want you to make a Percy Jackson movie.
Director: A _what_ movie?
Rick: Percy Jackson? You’ve read that, right?
Director: **panics** Yes…
The thing is, I'm pretty sure the actors read the books too.
The weirdest thing is that it’s Chris Columbus! The guy who directed the first Harry Potter movies! He should have been great.
Dull_Demon47 Dull_Demon47 I remember there was this video where the actors of the sea of monsters were looking at comments by fans and one of the fans mentioned about blue food and the actors were like “how is that even related to the movie” so yeah I’m pretty sure they had never read the books
No, Rick didn’t ask and they didn’t ask Rick.
@@emily-uo1et Theres a whole video of Rick being interviewed about this. They came to him, said they wanted to make a movie. He asked if he could have any say in how the movie would be done. They laughed at him and said no. But Rick still went for it because he thought it was the best way to get his book noticed, and it worked.
I feel like a lot of people tend to forget that Grover was described as having his horns hide under his hair. So thank you for not making his horns visible.
