[@leonamvinoy3008]

Leah is such an adorable introvert ( or probably not an introvert) I sort of kind of relate to her struggle in the video, when its something that I love but dont really remember much, but since this is a percy Jackson series I would jump out in excitement trying to answer the questions😂😂😂

[@Khichuri_n_gosht]

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking! She’s so adorable and confident-her bold choice of attire and accessories say that-but also very shy in the sense that she’s very quiet. I think she’ll grow into her personality and become more extrovert as the seasons progress.

[@whatwhatwhatttttt]

I may be wrong but this is also her first press tour right? Im really glad the boys encourage her to speak up and get her more comfortable as the interviews progress

[@supremacy.siblings]

I remember in another game they did she did say she was an introvert, so you're right on that!

I think its absolutely disgusting and hypocritical how fans treated Alexandra Daddario like a piece of s*it for having the wrong hair color in the first PJ and yet this is the "new more accurate casting" If you want to change the casting, fine-- but fans dont be naive a*sholes just because you're afraid of being called "racist" Well I am not afraid to have an opinion I do LIKE the New Percy Jackson series and Walker seems like a great choice but if the whole reason you are RE-MAKING IT is to be MORE ACCURATE this is FAR from accurate

[@CandraJade84]

I wasn’t happy with the way Annabeth was portrayed in the movies, but that had nothing to do with the actress' hair colour or even her acting. She just was portrayed more like a warrior than a wise girl and that’s just not how I see Annabeth. Yes, she’s a tough fighter, but that’s not what defines her.

[@dronemachine4694]

So not only does Anna-Beth not look like Annabeth, she also knows nothing about the books. That’s good.

[@fhc3289]

She doesn’t need to know that much about the book. She gets a script and she bases her character off of the script. Also, just because she didn’t do well in the game doesn’t mean she doesn’t know about the books. Secondly, she doesn’t need to look exactly like Annabeth. Rick Riordan, the AUTHOR of Percy Jackson and director of the show chose to cast her. He created her and he chose her to play Annabeth. Rick based her character off of chemistry and her personality. If Rick picked a blonde girl but she didn’t have a good personality that fits with Annabeth, it would ruin the show much more than just based off of her looks.

[@dronemachine4694]

@@fhc3289 All that would be great if she was knocking it out of the park as Annabeth, but she feels nothing like the character. Way too cold. Also it doesn’t really matter that Riordan chose her, he’s never done casting before. Appearance absolutely matters, if you’ve imagined a character looking some way for nearly 2 decades and she ends up looking radically different in the show, it’s likely going to take you right out of it. Notice all the reviewers arn’t going out of their way to say how amazing she’s doing, there’s a reason for that. The problem is they changed the appearance of the ONE character literally everyone had a vivid picture of in their heads. I think Rick absolutely made the decision because he wanted a diverse Annabeth, not because of talent. The quote was “she was quickly the best option.” If she was so quick to “embody Annabeth,” why does she still seem off in the THIRD episode.

[@fhc3289]

@@dronemachine4694 because in the third episode she’s supposed to be cold still. She takes time to warm up to Percy. Everyone is too angry that she LOOKS different like it’s not the end of the world.

[@dronemachine4694]

@@fhc3289 To Percy she’s supposed to be a little cold sure, not all around cold. It’s not the end of the world, but it takes a lot away from the viewing experience. I wish they had casted a “diverse” Percy instead, fits way better.

[@fhc3289]

@@dronemachine4694 Maybe Rick told her to play a little colder or maybe that’s how she wanted to portray Annabeth. The thing about being an actor is you get to be creative with your character. She doesn’t have to be exactly like the books. Also, I think Walker is a great Percy
