Oh, I see someone has discovered the difference between books with tons of character building and sub 1.5 hour films for preteens. Shit gets cut. Weird how adults always get upset when movies for 10 year olds don't always follow the book scene for scene 🤷 Not like it was on the level of a Harry Potter where guaranteed sequels and near 3 hour films were guaranteed. The studio gave them less than 2 hours and the book gave them 10 year old fans. Was never going to feature every single thing in one movie and making it two parts wasn't going to work for that crowd either. And if you think they should have tried making it for adults, you don't really get how marketing works 🙃

Personally I dont really like the new casting, Percy and Annabeth dont really feel to me like they were described in the books, and it's a huge pet peeve of mine when characters in adaptations look drastically different than how they're described in the books (which is why I also had beef with brunette Annabeth of the first movie lol). Although I guess I preferred Percy's movies actor cause hewas in the books covers of my Percy Jackson series when I was a kid and I had a massive crush on him lmao. Anyway, I just hope the Disney series will look alright in terms of plot and acting.

[@themoviecritic1092]

It's fine to not like the casting, just don't go attacking the girl who was casted because then that's just downright mean. I feel Rick really went for who fits the personalities of the characters more so than who looks like them. It's better to have someone who doesn't look like the characters but has their personality than someone who just looks like the characters but brings nothing else to the table. Watching the first two episodes, I can confirm that while they don't look like the characters in the books, they most definitely do have their hearts and I'm excited to see where the show goes because it's really good rn.

​@@themoviecritic1092I personally don't care to attack a young kid for this but Rick on the other hand. He is the one who hated the fact the trash movies didn't pick actors and actresses that looked like his characters and then doubled down himself. He attacked Daddario over being brunette in the first of the unspeakable horrors but tried calling people racist over doing the same to him over his Annabeth. My problem is we have a African-American character in Hazel do why not have her play her. Hell Rick has commissioned art for the first series of books and Annabeth is white. It just bothers me that whitewashing is so evil but blackwashing is fine and you are racist otherwise. Why is it so hard to treat people equally no matter how they look

There’s a *fan-made* trailer (for a nonexistent version of the movie, sadly) that does it.

[@shadow_vibezz]

Lol he’s even facing the opposite way on the cover

[@justanotheridiot0]

bruhhh the fact that during an interview, logan or whatever that percy's actor's name is, was aksed "do you like blue food" he said "how is this even related to percy jackson!" like wtf?

[@jxnnxtvaldez]

I think they had a power outage on set bc Lake Castel stole the thunder blot, thats why the movies were like this :)

No, but the fact that Luke is a gamer is the only thing I like about this movie. Just that, it will never fail to make me laugh at the thought of like being a gamer😂😂😂😂😂

Ik… it’s only the ppl who haven’t read the books. THE FREAKING AUTHOR HIMSELF GAVE BAD FEEDBACK AND WAS ALMOST OFFENDED BY THE MOVIE AHHHUYHFCHVJBL

[@katharinascamander-mikaels1156]

I had enjoyed the movies before I read the books. After I read the first book I thought that the first movie was a joke. Just like the second movie. (Sorry if I made grammer mistakes.)

[@maryambalogun8598]

It's because they haven't read the books. I told one of my friends how I loved reading PJO and she said she had watched the movie. Then I told her the movie is different from the books and that she should read those instead. I then sent the first 3 books to her. Try using that tactic with your friend (s) especially if they love reading

This KZbin short alone would've made A WHOLE lot more money than percy jackson at the box office

I’ve never read a book that was so much better than the movies until Percy Jackson. And also Beautiful Creatures👀

[@toastyburrito]

You get more ripping one page out then you would get in the whole movie

[@georgia2993]

i might get hate for this, but it seems like even tho everyone was complaining about the previous actors not looking the characters, now just because it was rick’s choice its ok for the characters to look completely different in the series. i have nothing against the new actors, but i do wish we could have annabeth with her gray eyes and blonde princess curls, and percy with his sea green eyes since they were such a big part of the book.

[@taylor33tv54]

SAME!! Like if it was a problem then it’s still a problem now, I just wanted accurate casting 🤷‍♀️

[@georgialambrakis-vo8kj]

exactly. i love the actors but i dont think they were the right choice, and its not fair that everyone loves this cast for the same reasons they hated the first cast.

[@zepshere8347]

​@@georgialambrakis-vo8kjRick said it himself that what he was looking for was kids who could bring Percy, Annabeth, Grover's, etc... Personality to life, and personally, while I wanted Annabeth's grey eyes, I'm alr with it, so long as their personalities and their chemistry works well

[@georgialambrakis-vo8kj]

@@zepshere8347 i agree. i can honestly say that ive been a fan of rick my entire life, and percy jackson was my childhood. i also love the actors he chose, especially walker scobell because i loved him in the adams projects and his personality is literally percy. i have really high hopes for the new series, but i still wish he could have picked actors that looked more similar to the mcs and that rick and the fans werent so hypocritical about it tho.

[@thedamgoose]

i kinda hope that for annabeth they make at least a tiny bit of her hair blond, like i’ve seen a lot of fanart with the ends of her hair being blond and i think that would be a cool factor but i could understand if they didn’t want to. i do also wish they had some type of contacts to change the eye color but idk.

[@Yoimiya_Lover29]

The movie was APPALLING. I'm still angry over what they did to poor Annabeth :(

I have never been so thankful for a KZbin video before! I mean really? Did they even read the books?! It's infuriating.

ever read eragon and seeing the movie, that shows what it means not reading a book then make a film, Percy Jackson was fine in comparison.

[@axelblyat7705]

Thats what good casting called. Its their job to find actors that look alike. And then makeup departament to add things that doesn't exist in real world. Yes. This is how adaptations should work. True to source.
