Lmao, 80% brown cast. You can tell they wanted to blackwash the main character too.
My rate is negative (-.0001/10) Disney disnt even deserve to have a one rate from the scale of 1/10. They ruined the story and all characters from the book!! Why they always having fun of making adaptations and always ruined the story and all characters?
Oh yay! Another book series being ruined by Disney because they have to hit a diversity quota by race swapping characters.
Disney Chanel geri dôn
besides dyeing Percy's hair, make Annabeth blonde! if she was Black!
At this point i wouldn’t be surprised if they add a in male Demi-God that pretends to be Female Demi-Goddess 😂. I can just picture there being a scene where the Demi-God goes into the Demi-Goddess restroom.
Here we go again…
Today I watched the first two episodes. I'm a fan of fantasy, mythology and adventures, so of course this appeals to me; but, I'm especially pleased with the differently-abled characters.
Soooo nobody is going to say it?
Disney don’t miss 😃🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🧌🪤the trolls wait to fall into the cheese box
Some of the characters not how they supposed to
I appreciate Disney for collaborating with rick riordan and not botching the storyline this time.
God dam it, they completely race changed, Annabeth.
I am so glad Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were made during a time when directors were forced to remain true to the novels, which includes casting. Liberals nowadays are great at adding to the trash pile.
A HARD pass on this bull S
Why did they have to make Annabeth black? Makes no sense
aaand they had to make Annabeth black. Thanks Disney, you just ruined my childhood memories.
It’s got the Disney touch. Don’t expect it to get a second season
Omg i couldn’t even get past the first episode, imma die due to the sheer woke cringe
Oh my god,… Black Annabeth ((((
Really? You took away Annabeth who was put in the books to counter the stereotypical dumb blond and you make her black? Chiron who was a Greek centaur is black? Skip a few books and start with percy going to the legion. Hazel is a black girl if you absolutely need to have one. You didn't even give Annabeth blond hair like the little mermaid had red hair. At least make an effort.
Hell naw they should of kept the same cast
If you can get past race swoping. It actually a good show and better then movies
If only it was accurate adaptation
Of course they made characters black
Not again Disney try something new
Why must Disney make trash out of everything that was once good. I will not even acknowledge this when it comes out.
They want ruin my childhood again
After Disney completely desecrated Artemis Fowl and chopped The Mysterious Benedict Society to bits, I was more than nervous about this adaptation. Thankfully they got it right this time. Percy Jackson is an absolute triumph!
Can someone let me know if this follows the book better than the movie
Ok I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just watched the first 2 episodes and I really hate to say it but none of these actors have any chemistry on screen. Like they’re reading the lines like the characters would I guess but their chemistry and reacting off of one another is very flat. The mother was the best actress.
I love Percy Jackson. I’ve read both series, and I even read the new one that recently came out. I will say the events that take place in the series are more faithful to the original story, but the series worst issue is the acting. It’s very boring, and underwhelming. Over the last 3 years I’ve grown disillusioned with Disney and Disney+. This was kinda the last hope/straw. Percy Jackson has the potential to be as big as Harry Potter, the issue that’s holding it back is the overbearing lack of chemistry. This is an overall problem I have with many of the Disney plus shows. Stranger things on Netflix can get a 2 hour run time and manage to hire young adult actors that all have chemistry and are very talented actors…why can’t Disney plus do that as well? I feel like they’ve been riding off of the successes of Wandavision and the first 2 seasons of Mando cause I haven’t managed to find another series or movie made by them that has the same quality. Loki. Forgive me Loki was good as well.
Disney really is in a bad place right now. Everyone might be too afraid to admit it but 20+ years ago we were getting quality. Movies like Hsm, Halloween town, Mighty Joe Young, the chronicles of Narnia, the first 3 pirates…a lot of those movies are amazing and hold up. The directors knew how to work a camera with more enthusiasm. The shots were more creative and energetic. Even Adventures in Babysitting with Elizabeth Shu had way better acting. Those movies were corny cause they were made almost 30 years ago but they didn’t suck. The last 10 years of live action Disney has been soooo underwhelming and uninspiring. I feel like everyone is getting distracted by the cgi and how much better it was compared to then, but I’m able to look past that. They look good visually but they don’t have any real passion in this and that sucks cause I really love Percy Jackson. The potential was there, and yes it’s more faithful cause the author was an executive producer, but it’s still somehow boring to sit through. The last 7 Hp universe movies have a similar issue with the directing. The 1st 4 Hp movies were directed beautifully. Any real movie buff who actually pays attention to the filmmaking will notice the camera work is uninspired It’s a very pain by numbers product.
European mythology was so diverse and multicultural!
If they can’t get the descriptions of any of the characters right, then how can we expect the show to be at all faithful to the books?
I donl't understand why they keep making the characters different to the books, I get you are trying to be mulitcultural but atleast don't completely change the appearace of the main characters, Annabeth was meant to have natural curly blonde hair and be tanned. This is a work of fiction written as is, why is it being changed just to please some people. I rarely see anyone changing the main cast to someone of my ethnicity, and if they do they are mostly typecasted or have to be extremely famous. But I would not want them to change the story to fit in a person from my ethnicity as it doesn't make much sense for the story. First time they made annabeth have black hair and now the character is completely changed? Used to be one of my favourite books and seeing the adaptations not being truthful is sad to see. It would be like making Hermonie from Harry Potter African but that could have actually worked a bit better than annabeth. The author already created a clear picture of annabeth in my head for many many years reading through all the books but I just can't relate to her character anymore, this does seem a lot better than the last though.
the book was awesome
the show is pretty spot on on the book. only grip is that the dialogue kinda feels robotic at times
A faithful, authentic adaptation. From the main storyline of the book to its smallest details. Cabins, clothes, and riptide. The novels are finally given due credit.
it's terrible a Percy Jackson stories where is the old series damn..
I absolutely love this series!!
Just started my first year in college, and I remember picking Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief in fifth grade as a class reading assignment. Best decision I ever made — I got obsessed with Rick Riordan's books all throughout middle school and credit my knowledge of Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Nordic mythology to this series haha! Hope they make a Heroes of Olympus adaptation too.
I am currently watching through episode one and I’m loving it more than the movie. I’ve only watched the first movie, and not the second one but I know it’s just as bad as as the first one especially in the first one where Percy Jackson in the movie was a kid that was good at everything unlike the book, where he is a nurse, so great that everything, but this this series is really living up to the books, unlike the movie so far, I’m loving it can now wait for the rest of the episodes and judging by the fact, it’s called Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Something tells me each season is going to be each book.. I just hope that they decide to make another series with the the Roman sequels books
Acting are weak and dialogue are pretty much standard .. not for the avid movie watcher ..
yeah this looks like it aint going to be interesting
Eh I like the one that came out my senior year of highschool! Dope cast and it was more fun ! ❤
Jesus. There are so many blatant racists in this comment section; it's vile. Thankfully, those are the people society will leave behind.
Rick, the author of the books, had a say in casting, and he approves. He IS the author, and what he says trumps any and all your complaints.
While some of the acting is robotic, the first two episodes were great. Let's remember these are young kids and will more than likely grow into their roles. The cast of Harry Potter were not great actors to start, but that changed. I don't think these actors are terrible, but they will improve.
Anyway, the racists who have a problem with diversity can get wrecked because at the end of the day, you have no power here and never will.
I can't wait for the next episode!
Where logan Lerman, Alexandra daddario, Brandon T . Jackson ?
Damn, it doesnt have alexandria daddario in it
FINALLLYYYY I AM SEEING THE BOOK ADAPTED HERE 😭😭😭😭 WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR THIS AHHHHHH
