I sure hope this thread will handle a certain casting choice well
Frick babies if they care about the casting of a book they probably haven't read since primary school. The cute white twink as the lead is by far winning an audience for sure.
Some of you have apparently felt offended or exasperated when your objections are called out online as racist. “But I am not racist,” you say. “It is not racist to want an actor who is accurate to the book’s description of the character!”
Let’s examine that statement.
You are upset/disappointed/frustrated/angry because a Black actor has been cast to play a character who was described as white in the books. “She doesn’t look the way I always imagined.”
You either are not aware, or have dismissed, Leah’s years of hard work honing her craft, her talent, her tenacity, her focus, her screen presence. You refuse to believe her selection could have been based on merit. Without having seen her play the part, you have pre-judged her (pre + judge = prejudice) and decided she must have been hired simply to fill a quota or tick a diversity box. And by the way, these criticisms have come from across the political spectrum, right and left.
You have decided that I couldn’t possibly mean what I have always said: That the true nature of the character lies in their personality. You feel I must have been coerced, brainwashed, bribed, threatened, whatever, or I as a white male author never would have chosen a Black actor for the part of this canonically white girl.
You refuse to believe me, the guy who wrote the books and created these characters, when I say that these actors are perfect for the roles because of the talent they bring and the way they used their auditions to expand, improve and electrify the lines they were given. Once you see Leah as Annabeth, she will become exactly the way you imagine Annabeth, assuming you give her that chance, but you refuse to credit that this may be true.
You are judging her appropriateness for this role solely and exclusively on how she looks. She is a Black girl playing someone who was described in the books as white.
Friends, that is racism.
And before you resort to the old kneejerk reaction — “I am not racist!” — let’s examine that statement too.
Nobody is reading this shit homosexual
You are dismissing my text on the basis of it's length?
In this way you have pre-judged (pre + judge = prejudice) my years of hard work honing my craft, talent, tenacity, focus and ability to inroduce seethe as a hallowed shitposter of this board.
Friends, that is racism.
I know this is copypasta but it falls apart easily considering studios actually get judged and rated now based on diversity qoutas.
And I say that as someone who proudly hates Black folk.
lel it's what the author said about the casting
The author is a cuck who wants to impress his liberal wife by casting the worst possible Annabeth he could find
Black people don't have merit and they never will. It's dey cultcha
Look up Annabeth Chase on DeviantART. Most fans imagine her to be white.
>hello mr riordan i really like your books they really cool and awesome
oh sure, I loved when that Dark Tower slop came out and made Roland a fricking Black, when he is supposed to be literally Clint Eastwood, hell, it is even a plot point in the damn story
Casting Idris Elba as a cool gunslinger man was literally the least bad thing about that entire film
The author complained about the Daddario casting the first time around for being a brunette instead of blonde. Why wouldn't he complain this time?
archive dot ph/AjDwA#selection-165.0-165.231
Because he’s a leftist.
Times have changed. You can’t complain when a person of color gets a role over a white person no matter the role.
Even if it’s Anne Boleyn, Cleopatra, or ANY person who is supposed to be fair skinned.
They will black any and all roles.
i just can't see her as annabeth, man. they didn't even try to make her feel like her.
i was holding out hope that she'd at least be a good actor, but im not seeing it so far? why didn't they just get the chick that played the daughter of the love interest in top gun maverick?
>why didn't they just get the chick that played the daughter of the love interest in top gun maverick?
nevermind apparently she's 18
Any blonde in the right age range would’ve been perfect. Even these random cosplayers look way better than the show
This would’ve been a hit but instead Disney took the ESG bucks
looks like SHIIIIIIIIT.
>hair isn’t dyed dark
Cringeeee
he's honestly a good enough percy to where i don't even mind that tbh
If I looked like him, I wouldn't want to ruin my gorgeous hair with dye and chemicals. Walker is by far the best thing about this series so far.
Can't change perfection.
Looks like a goldendoodle dog. Serious miscast, although obviously not as bad as Annabeth
your loss but i respect your opinion anon
He looks more suited for dark academia stuff
i have a few other projects id like to see him in
worst part about all this is now annabeth is gonna be black forever
Nah nobody will accept it as canon. Ftm trannies will make art of it trying to get attention but nobody will like it or be interested beyond feeling disgust
i admire your optimism, anon
Look at black Hermione and Indian Harry. Trannies make art of them but nobody is interested. JK Rowling even approved black Hermione for the play, but nobody actually thinks Hermione is black. All of the art and fanfictions people actually consume are white main characters only
it's different. this is like if rowling had picked hermione to be black back in the first movie.
Are you talking about making Zeus a Black person?
I saw the first ep. B tier.
Kid is a good Percy, even without black hair.
Action lackluster, wanted a longer Dodds fight too.
Not happy with
Yeah I watched the first episode but not going to watch anymore, with Annabeth being so off there’s no point.
The Percy actor was fine everyone else had poor acting though
I'll keep watching but I will have a hard time seeing Annabeth as black, don't think I can.
Also, Gabe is not nearly as much of a dick to deserve being Medusa'd.
Then stop woke casting.
It's that simple.
Go back making good normal movies/series
I can't, at all. I guess Percy Jackson is just doomed to unfaithful adaptations. They could have just made Grover black again and I'd have been cool with it. Anabeth being blonde is a plot point, and people clearly complained enough for them to correct Anabeth and make her blonde in the 2nd movie. I just can't support this even greater misrepresentation of the character that people are forcing themselves to accept for obvious reasons.
Maybe the author shouldn’t have ‘sperged out about her not having blonde hair in the movie then
I still think that Percy looks nothing like I pictured, or like the good covers/illustrations. I guess he is supposed to be 12 here but still.
It's so fricking funny to be that they're shooting themselves in the foot like this. Like, if they wanted to have a diverse cast, all they have to do is adapt the sequel series. The Heroes of Olympus has a twink Latino mechanic, a buff Chinese Canadian, a Native American stacy and an old fashioned black girl as part of the main cast . And their races and cultural backgrounds are actually incorporated into their characters, and not just an aesthetic pallete swap.
Frick, you’re so right. But then again, maybe the show will flop and they will not make it to the sequel series or there are no plans for it. But yeah, they can’t even do the simple shit like keeping the appearance close to the books. Now they actually did stuff like make Gabe kinder and that makes me wonder at the other bad changes they’ll make later on.
I didn't think it would come to this, but the shit movies might actually be a more faithfull adaptation than the show. If they can't be bothered to give the Percy Jackson BLACK HAIR then why even believe for a second they care about the IP?
The goal is not to entertain. The goal is to subvert.
Is Annabeth a blonde blue eyed Stacey still?
LMAO of course they ruined her
Nothing wrong with her. Walker still looks hot and she looks fine. Stop yappin' about it.
Not making Annabeth a blonde Stacy ruins the entire show. Nobody is going to watch it or ship these ugly characters
no need to ship the characters, clearly the cast are fans of the source material. should let them enjoy it. more episodes means more twink.
ah shit it's a pedophile thread
i thought we were actually gonna talk about the show my bad
Nono, we are. Don't make assumptions. Trying to move on the topic from the racism.
all im saying is the two characters they COULDN'T swap were annabeth and percy. black grover? indian grover? no one cares. Asian Luke? I can dig it. Mutt Clarisse? at least she's cute. Black Chiron? doesn't truly matter. black annabeth just doesn't feel right. and they didn't just make her black, they made her dark skinned.
Yeah it ruins it entirely and even the people who are saying they’re fine with it will be unable to get invested in the show. There won’t be fan art or merch or fanfictions of this shit, nobody will be into it, just like the little mermaid
>There won’t be fan art or merch or fanfictions of this shit
tumblr absolutely will make fanart of ONLY black annabeth moving forward. im pretty sure they already are. She won't be allowed to be blonde and white ever again.
This happened with the Velaryons with hotd on tumblr. If anyone draws book canon Laena or the twins who are white they get abused. Their argument is they may be white in the books, but the show has made them black so all artwork needs to depict them as black. If you prefer the book version from an artistic point of view you’re obviously racist. Some teenage girl got torn apart for making them not black in her smut fanfic.
>all artwork needs
What a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of art. The moment you tell an artist what they must or must not depict, you're stifling creativity.
dw im jp, walkers my bud we were just waiting for a thread to mess around on. carry on. enjoy the show.
wmbf is good
No it’s not their kids come out black and dumb
>No it’s not their kids come out black and dumb
skill issue
>wm
Percy's actor is a israelite
israelite is the closest thing to white that exists in hollywood
Percy jackson and the 3 black children we found at the library
thank you for casting walker scobell as percy and thank you for the first scene of him in episode 2.
it's decent, but unfortunately annabeth is black. it's really the show's biggest flaw and it's glaring. she just doesn't feel like annabeth, she seems like black girl #1
his voice cracked yet? does he have any shirtles scenes or nah
not yet, only a scene in boxershorts at the start of episode 2. they only dropped the first 2 episodes.
Certified BLEACHED classic, white boys stay winning
I wonder if it'll bomb like everything else Disney puts out and raceswaps. I sure hope so.
the only people watching this are 20-30 year old women who have disney+ and an unfulfilled love life aka terminally online cucks
woah calm down buddy did someone hit your nerve
don't come blaming me when people catch onto the fact that police only catch anyone based on motive, and that they can get away with killing you in the street
what does this have to do with walker scobell
Yep, it's a queers expose they're all pedophile episode
you don’t know my age, it’s anonymous. who knows; i could just be talking about myself
why the fig leaf? we all know pretty much all LGBT men are disgusting pedos like you
if you insist good pal
wew lad
He looks old and israeli
hot and breedable *
it smells like lukegay in here
you can kill hotd, but not them, i suppose
>you can kill hotd, but not them, i suppose
god if only
The Lukeposters are here 100%.
Authors should know better than to try and adapt books to film, but also know better than to get published through a israeli publisher like Disney Hyperion in the first place.
We have a israeli Roman demigod in Heroes of Olympus, everyone, remember that. More than likely the publisher or somebody breathed down Mr. Riordan's neck just to continue his diversity series.
>We have a israeli Roman demigod in Heroes of Olympus
Ethnicity or religion? The former can make sense if Jupiter/Zeus dicked someone with big Khazar milkers.
is edge good in it?
Go be a flaming homosexual somewhere else. We want sexy white girls not mongrels.
What's with all the homos in this thread? I thought this board didn't like that stuff.
clearly you didn't frequent the /hotd/ generals
To be fair half of the actor thirsting was women, it was just the underage actor thirsting that was men.
I didn't watch that. Any cute boys?
it's women pretending to be gay men
fujos on Cinemaphile do it all the time
One literally posted photos of himself on multiple occasions.
A zoomer twink, a niggress sheboon, and a hindu cow dung worshipper walks into a bar
taking the zoomer home
Why are always trying to make Athena (offspring in this case) black again?
It's another Cleopatra situation where they claimed "mine now!"?
Percy is supposed to have black hair and sea green eyes, so that's not Percy
they promote it here with a single shot of nog women dressed as greek warriors shouting at the camera, so for that reason, i'm OUT.
LOL. My sister got so buthurt that they didn't cast blonde anabath she stopped paying for disney plus
I like the PJO books, but Heroes of Olympus fricking sucks and i hate Rick Riordan for turning his series into pozzed shit
Of course he caved to the diversity guidellines
90% of the "fandom" are tumblr morons, which is kind of funny because they're so insanely protective of the characters that I don't know if they'll accept the race change shit (probably most of them will but then there's some like )
Everything Riordan wrote after PJO is from mediocre to shit,he started to care more about having inclusive stuff is his books than to write something decent when he realized a vocal part of his fans were tumblr and now twitter users and you know they won't care about race changes, the morons.
God I hope this flops so bad.
What’s peculiar is that, IIRC he started padding out the diversity quotas around book 4, which means there’s plenty of background characters that could have just been promoted to mains without anyone really giving a shit. They were fairly likeable too, since this was back before the benign diversity mask was taken off.
There is also plenty of characters that very little is known about that he could just expand and no one would have given a shit too, besides the ones more known.
Why not expand on Charles, a well liked character, and his relationship with Silena, there's a lot of things he could have done and not mess up with the main cast, but no, like a moron he just has to fill his quotas
>Everything Riordan wrote after PJO is from mediocre to shit
true, at least we still have 5 good books
>God I hope this flops so bad.
me too anon
I'm sorry but he's not cute enough for me to ignore their creative choice for the show
Before i give it a chance, tell me how many gays and dykes it has. Also, is the white man the source of all evil again?
I don't evan give a frick about children's television, but I wanted to post this anyway
>movie will bomb
> IT WAS BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS WHITE
another thread where homosexuals watch and complain about a show made for children
He does his own stunts? noice
you have to be 18 to post here
I'm literally 10 minutes in and they already have a woman lecturing Percy on "AKTUALLY MEDUSA WASN'T A MONSTER SHE WAS A VICTIM" feminist bullshit.
kek yes i wonder how they will actually explain that one.
Will they go with the older myth or the one where Poseidon rapes her and say Percy's dad is a rapist? Or they will just cut it out her whole scene.
I really liked Dyonisus casting, can admit that much
Well to be fair, that's not incorrect it's just that all the morons who like to yell about it think that the takeaway is "muh patriarchy" and not "all of the greek gods are absolute buttholes, and the greeks have never pretended otherwise"
Posedian may have raped her but it was Athena who cursed her to turn her into a Gorgon. Feminists on twitter for a long time have tried to use that "Medusa was the victim!!" excuse for a long time but she literally turned men to stone out of petty cruelty.
