#but the Annabeth race-swap sucks because now she’s not blonde.

[artist-issues]

So this part in the trailer, where Grover gets bullied and Walker Scobell looks like he’s going to stand up and start a fight, is why I think this Percy Jackson show might be good.

That’s exactly how Percy responds. He’s got that whole “protect my friends” Achilles’ heel, fatal flaw, thing. He’ll always do the right thing…unless the right thing is to not do for a friend. I feel like Walker Scobell nails that immediate righteous-anger-triggered thing with his face and everything right here.

That makes up for the whole race-swapping hair-swapping nonsense.

#I mean the hair only matters because Percy’s supposed to look like Riordan’s son #and now he doesn’t as much #but the Annabeth race-swap sucks because now she’s not blonde. #and being blonde was an outward sign of her inward struggle: she wants to be taken seriously. She’s smart even though she’s blonde. #just like she’s capable of victory and quests even though they think she’s too young #But whatever. They can still make her like Annabeth if they tweak something similar to mean the same character-thematic thing #Percy Jackson #percy jackson disney+ #walker Scobell #Percy #Annabeth chase
