ep 4 establishing that annabeth views love as something she needs to earn (ie. thalia, her stepmom, athena) by being perfect and following all the rules while percy views love as something unconditional that everyone deserves (ie. percy being poseidon’s son should be enough to get his dad to notice him) despite messing up from time to time. knowing what they’ll do for each other in later books. yeah.

Ally's Thoughts on Percy Jackson Part 1
Overall, I thought the show was good! But I've seen so many bad takes on umm, everything? Absolutely everything, goodness me. Let me go over some things I've seen and jot some thoughts down. I will do these in parts.
Today's Topic: The cast is bad/not book-accurate
This comes from people who are upset that Annabeth didn't have blonde hair/wasn't white and that Percy didn't have dark hair etc. Also, the decision to cast Lin-Manuel Miranda is Hermes.
Actually, it's very book-accurate, having actual twelve-year-olds play 12-year-olds? OMG! I think people don't realise that some twelve-year-olds are just tiny, when was the last time you spoke to someone that age?
The race thing: it's clearly a thing, but as Leah said in an interview I saw that Rick told her to remember that she was his choice and really that's such a nice sentiment, we should be happy with his choice, I think she did an amazing job.
Walker, this sweet fair-haired boy -is- Percy. Sure he might have dark hair in the books but looking at him, hearing him talk? He's so Percy and I love him.
Next, Lin-Maunel Miranda as Hermes. Hermes isn't in the first book, so it was interesting he was included and an argument I saw more than once was 'he's not even hot? How is he out here being the god with the most children?'
Hmmm....hmmm? 🤔
People also seemed really surprised that he can act which of course he can, I don't see why this is brand new information? Silly peoples.
Everyone else was wonderfully cast too, mind you I think I'd like to see who they have in mind for Aphrodite, just so I can bonk her on the head for dumping Hephaestus. Timothy Odmunson is fine 😌

also I love that Grover gets separated from the kids and immediately starts playing mind games with a god. he's like finally I don't have to be a good role model for a second. let's talk brutality.

Chiron and Mr D: now that you've trained at camp for one (1) week it's time for you to embark on a quest to retrieve Zeus' lightning bolt and stop all out war from breaking out amongst the Gods.
Percy: are you aware that i am twelve years old
Chiron and Mr D: this is your dad's will
Percy: is he aware that i am twelve years old

Percy Jackson but Hestia has a cabin. that is where the unclaimed go because she goddess of home and family. Demigods get claimed faster because when they show up Hestia glares at her siblings, nieces and nephews untill they claim them.
