Books And Tv Adaptations Dont Have To Be Exactly Alike. Thats Why Theyre Called Adaptation - Tumblr Posts

So, the casting for the Percy Jackson disney series has come out! I’ve only seen the Adam Project, so I don’t have any idea how the two actors playing Annabeth and Grover are on screen, but I’m sure that they’ll do their best (and trusting that Riordan has managed to find actors that capture the essence of his characters).

And, y’know, when the movies came out, I didn’t care as much about the differences between physical descriptions in the book and movies, but more that they’d screwed up the whole timeline.

A non-white child who can play Annabeth to a T? Is absolutely something I am more than willing to watch because representation is important, and being able to play a character and bring their personality to life in an authentic way? Way more important than what the actor looks like verses what the source material showed them to look like.
