major respect for the annabeth defense. This was Rick’s decision as the literal AUTHOR. He knows these characters better than any of us do. She’s also a perfect Annabeth in my opinion, her acting in this episode specifically really shined. i can see what Rick was saying about the chemistry with the 3 kids together, the scene of Grover confronting them made me cry.
I can't believe some people are mad because Annabeth is black. Rick had to defend her already before the show aired because people were so upset. Clearly he made the right choice for her. He knows his own characters better than anyone.
I love her portrayal of Annabeth. People are forgetting book 1 Annabeth is different than later books Annabeth. I’m fine with her being that way. I think she’s more standoffish or colder than the book, which I’m cool with. It’s an obvious reason why but don’t want to spoil. Now the only critique would be some of her lines are not the best but she’s doing well and I like her character
Yeah. I wasn't convinced by her in episode 2, but I see now that was the direction to make Annabeth a bit more distant and calculating that she was in the book, which honestly makes a lot of sense. They're making changes from the books, but it's all in the name of the character dynamics, and the kids successfully pull that off.
I think the only real criticism I have of annabeth in the show is the lack of silver eyes, which is kind of a staple for children of Athena if I remember correctly. Otherwise the show is on point
The fact that grown adults can’t move from the fact that Leah is black is absolutely crazy it is unbelievable that grown adults are making fun of a child.
Leah's Annabeth calling Medusa a liar right to her face is exactly the Annabeth who will look to the Sphinx and go "your questions are too dumb, gimme a real challenge lady" lmao
Even though Medusas not wrong. I’m a Hellenic pagan. I worship the Greek gods and in the lore, Medusa was a**aulted by Poseidon and the victim. I’m not saying Annabeth was wrong in defending her mother. I’m just saying I’m team Medusa in this scenario
@@EddieMunsonLover34 In the ancient Greek lore, Medusa was not assaulted. She and her sister were born as gorgons. The myth of her being assaulted is relatively recently and was created by Ovid, a Roman poet, who wrote these poems to make the gods look extra bad.
@@poisonxivy8602 I. Know. That. But the thing about paganism is there are many different stories and this story, the story about Medusa being assaulted, is the most commonly known nowadays.
@@poisonxivy8602 this is my religion. U wouldn’t like it if someone was like “well actually” about ur religion would u?
@@poisonxivy8602 In modern times Medusa is a goddess of feminine empowerment not just a gorgon. I’ve done research and talked to many pagan priests and covens and they all say that the more modern interpretations of the lore are okay.
I’m loving that Medusa was given so much depth! It also makes much more sense that Annabeth would have figured it out much earlier than she did in the book, given her mother’s history with Medusa.
All three of the kids fully sold me on their casting by this episode. There were some awkward moments but that's to be expected from kid actors - honestly it felt more like a directing issue than anything else. Overall I thought they carried the ep really well considering this was very heavy on the character work and that's not easy to pull off even for adult actors. I love that the show seems to be putting more emphasis on how the demigods feel neglected by their parents, that's going to be extremely important later on in the season but I won't say more due to spoilers
Also as an extracurricular teacher I may or may not be considering stealing that consensus song to use in class as a last resort 😂
I want a full version of that consensus song
People thinking Rick Riordan of all people was forced to include diversity in his story have never read a Rick Riordan book
I really love the micro expressions the actor for percy does. The little things he does to combeg hia conflicting emotions or his thought process is so good and so Percy in a way.
Agreed. Walker’s the one who has really impressed me so far though it's clear Aryan and Leah are also trying their best and I think ep 3 was def the best work from those two as well as Walker.
GROVER CONSENSUS SONG ON SPOTIFY WHEN??
Leah is having some lines that are shaking, she even said she was really nervous on her first days. Other than some lines delivering she is Annabeth and doing amazing, she getting better each episode.
I agree. In the second episode there were a few lines were it was a bit 'meh' but overall her acting since the 2nd ep has much improved and she's really very good. Her reaction when she was looking at Percy through the window, and also when he said that he never imagined them being friends KILLED me. I wanted to reach through and give her a hug. All three of them play off each other so well, especially lea/walker they have such chemistry even some adults don't have. Sorry for this massive ramble 😆
@@GeorgiaaaraYou’re all good😆. I agree with everything with you said. I wanted to hug her as well, the chemistry they have all three of them is so good. The group friendship off screen in interviews is so sweet to see.
i just commented something similar on the last episode. The literal only thing that has me caught up at all about this show is the " You drool when you sleep" line. The cinematography made me feel weird and her line delivery sounded ridiculously flat and rehearsed. She has done a great job on this but when i hear it i twitch because it is so bad. Other than that, I am in love with all the changes as they all make so much sense overall.
@@braedenpatrick7828 When she was talking to Dodds on the bus some of the lines delivery wasn’t the best. I would say that’s the only time in the episode the line were flat.
You seemed a bit confused on the timeline when you mentioned the new books. To clarify, the chronological order is:
Percy Jackson, books 1-5 (Percy is age 12-16. Published 2005-09)
Heroes of Olympus, books 1-5 (Percy is 16. Published 2010-14)
Percy Jackson, books 6-8 (Percy is 17. Published 2023-25?)
The Trials of Apollo, books 1-5 (Percy is 17, not a main character. Published 2016-20)
The Sun and the Star (Percy might be 18, not a main character. Published 2023)
Appreciate that! Like I said it’s been a very long time since I’ve read this, I was a young child but I’m re reading them!
Leah really plays anabeth well and it makes no difference to me what she looks like just portray the character properly and she has definitely done a good job so far :)
The new Percy Jackson series is not really a prequel, it just happens BEFORE the series of Trials of Apollo and The Sun and the Star but AFTER Heroes of Olympus. Some things about the stuff happening are briefly mentioned in Trials of Apollo.
I read all the books and all the series, that actor is a great annabeth total forgot she was a blond in the books.
If it weren’t for fan art of annabeth, I would totally forget that she was a blonde 😂 I can never remember character descriptions.
Bro….even while reading I always imagined her as a brunette and white lol. So I really don’t care if she looks different. As long as she brings the character to life. Looks only go so far.
The main relevancy of Annabeth's blond hair was that her intelligence wasn't taken seriously because of the way she looked - she suffered because of the "dumb blonde" stereotype. Not being taken seriously or not being thought of as smart is an experience a lot of black girls and women (and black people in general) can sadly relate to. So, in my opinion, the casting works even with the looks specific characterization in mind!!
@@pinsandneedles3perfectly stated!
@@pinsandneedles3exactly. Like the police officer saying that Annabeth shouldn’t take that tone even though she was talking calmly while Percy was literally shouting at him isn’t anything a blonde white girl would experience. Annabeth being black makes sense
We support a black Annabeth because she IS Annabeth and haters can just go to the unhappy place in the afterlife.
You can say that again!
Jessica parker Kennedy did an amazing role as Medusa, when she tells her story that is emotionally
Percy: "Dude, what are you doing?"
Me: HIS BEST, OKAY? 😭🥺
As a high masking autistic person, I relate to Grover on a spiritual level lol
Also, thank you SO much for your defense of Leah and the others
Hey guys im really liking the series and as always i appreciate the reactions!😊❤
Jessica Parker Kennedy was so good here as Medusa! I never watched the Flash, but I've been a fan of hers since she played Max in Black Sails. There are several connections (actors, writers, music) between Black Sails and Percy Jackson which for me has been exciting - of course, completely different age demographic lol. Also, more on track, poor Grover having to keep two middle schoolers on track... nightmare tbh.
I appreciate the Holes reference in there
I think the cast is awesome. I never read the books. But I love Greek mythology. I remember reading the Odyssey is school. I loved that mythical world. So I'm sold!
I can fix medusa and Nora at the same time
U need some help with that?
yeah.... lmao@@lawrence8015
Honestly, I don't think they can avoid the actors out-aging their characters. TV shows take time to produce and they'd essentially have to do four more seasons in four years. And they haven't even been _renewed_ yet, let alone started production on season 2. Maybe, if they get the greenlight for 2 seasons at once, they could shoot it all as soon as possible and then leave the postproduction for season three until after season 2's out, but how likely is that?
But I'm not _that_ bothered by it tbh. The _intention_ to have an age accurate cast was at least there.
If I'm not mistaken Chalice of the Gods (the first book in the new trilogy) is set after Heroes of Olympus, but before (or perhaps concurrently with?) the Magnus Chase books.
SPOILERS for the The Last Olympian & Heroes of Olympus
The battle of Manhatten takes place on Percy's 16th birthday and Son of Neptune starts about a half a year after that. I believe the whole Heroes of Olympus series takes place over (what would've been) Percy's junior year.
And Chalice of the Gods starts at the start of Percy's senior year.
I am ashamed to admit that I initially had my doubts about the casting of Leah Jeffries. I was worried that if Disney made this change, what other changes would they make to this show in the interest of their agenda. It lasted all of a few seconds. I learned Rick was involved, and I was contented with that, and I was dead wrong. She is a phenomenal actress alongside two other phenomenal actors, and I'm very proud to have her as my Annabeth Chase, and I apologize for my poor attitude.
There is literally only one line that Leah has said that I didn't jive with her delivery of and that was "she fought valiantly and met a heroes fate" and I think that was just because she had to play it so super straight to allow Percy's pinecone joke to land. Its even hard to play the straight man for adults sometimes, let alone kids. She is doing great! All 3 of them are!
I'm actually worried about the aging of the cast because I believe they have future plans to then adapt heroes of Olympus but as of Jan 2024. Walker turned 15, so yeah he is the age he is supposed to be in the fifth pjo book and now it may take another minimum of two years between each season probably
Great reaction y'all! Loving funding this channel. 19:40 you're almost there. Medusa was a priestess of Athena. Poseidon seduced/graped her in a temple of Athena. Athena punished Medusa for it.
Tbh I just like the shoe not bothered about the actors they seem fine to me
Here from ticktoc
She met a pinecones fate…
i mean, i'll say it......i can fix her 🥺❤
💙
Seeing current interviews with the trio has me mildly concerned with the speed they're aging because they've all hit height growth spurts & voices have dropped significantly
Alot of responsibility
Whatever you think about the series i would say don't think that this is what the books give i would say this series is good on it's own and the books were better in every aspect yes that is the fact
That's always gonna be the truth about books vs any other media, because books require the lowest cost of time and money (using only words) and can give almost limitless expansion of stories. (An example of that is Rick making Percy jump from a place that wouldn't be possible irl because it'd mean he'd fall right on the cement and not the sea. He thought the water was right under it and didn't fact-check, so in the written books we can just pretend that it is somehow possible, but for both comic books and the series in which they must show the place visually, it's just not possible and they'll have to find another way to "fix" this book mistake)
Movies and TV shows have limited budget, live action or not, and can never give us all of the thoughts books give. Even comic book adaptations have its restraints. So I just wish people could enjoy adaptations, as you said, for what they are, on their own right, bc comparing it to books will never be fair. The PJO movies were trash on their own right, due to its own flaws, and the show is doing a good job on its own right as well.
You know I am saying the show is not good as far as following the book is concerned and for person who didn't liked the show like me so far except Percy and Luke in the show they should just not think of it as a complete book adaptation but an alternate reality where things played out differently but yeah there are still many things i didn't liked but whatever
@@manshaansarim-2388 I'm well aware of that, I just don't think it's reasonable to expect such things from adaptations to another media. Idc about the changes bc imo they're not changing the core aspects, and I care especially less due to Rick and Becky being so involved and constantly mentioning why they decided to change this and that. It's all very reasonable.
