    The fact that this series has had NO leaks at all is impressive. Compared to other Disney+ projects like the Mandalorian which leaked spoilers constantly. Like, they cast Percy in JANUARY and kept it a secret for THREE MONTHS.

    A director who loves the source material, an actor who is a fan of the books, a production staff that is honoring the history behind everything, and having the author not only helping out as an consultant but as a member of the writing staff, it definitely shows that this show will be a massive hit with the fans of the book.

      The actress of Annabeth on the other hand looks literally nothing like Annabeth (described as typical California girl with blond hair and grey eyes)
      Even if she would dye her hair blond and get grey contacts it still wouldn’t look like Annabeth is supposed to look like. She should be clearly white.
      Would you also defend the decision if a black character would suddenly get played by a white actor?

    I'm honestly not a fan of adaptations, they all promise to show exciting worlds but never live up to the expectations that we've built up from the books. Having said that, this project gives me hope. Having RR there, and a cast and crew full of people that know the source material and genuinely like it, gives me hope that this will do justice to RR's amazing series.

      Me too tbh, I watched the movie before I read the books, but even after I still appreciate the movie for what it was. I'm never really one to hate book to movie adaptations that don't do exactly what was in the books, I think they still made a decent film just different from the books (though I can't really say the same for the second movie). I feel the same way about The City of Bones movie that was released in 2013? I loved the movie, it wasn't completely accurate to the books but still followed the same general storyline and the casting for Jace specifically was unreal they could not have found anyone better. Them using lines directly from the book as well made me love it even more. So honestly I'm super excited to see the new tv series but I still appreciate the movie for what it was when dissasociating it from the book series.

    I hope that after they finish adapting this series, they also do The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo as follow up series. Also they should adapt The Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase into either film series or television series.

    Percy Jackson made up a ton of my childhood and being able to step into the world of the demigods helped me through some pretty hard times. I’m SO excited for this show and seeing who the other actors will be.

    Honestly this is going to be great, even if the characters appearance don’t exactly match the books. I would prefer them too personally but it’s going to be great. Can’t wait to see the rest of the cast.

    I hope this does well and they go on to to the second part with the Heros of Olympus, and do the Kane chronicles too, having watched Moon Knight recently I'd really love to see a Kane chonicles series too. And include Magnus chase and Apollo's series. I know it's asking for a lot but it would be an amazing accomplishment if they did all of them
