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

[@AnaFariaable]

@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.

[@AnaFariaable]

@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!

[@AnaFariaable]

@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.

[@AnaFariaable]

@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.

[@somewhatstressed469]

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

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

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.

We all know why they destroyed Annabeth. They needed an eye candy damsel in distress to be Percy's love interest because Hollywood seems to think that girls can't be tough AND the love interest at the same time.

Nah, they were just shit adaptations. Hollywood has had great female leads for decades: Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, The Bride from Kill Bill, every Slasher Final Girl (Special props to Megan from Friday The 13th Part 6 and Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street) and so on
