Child of Hades here! Loved him, hes one of the most sane gods.

Mia Mangano

My preferred God parent would probably be Hades, since in the actual myths, he was one of the most chill, reasonable gods there were, and because he and his wife persephone actually had perhaps the most loving, functional relationship in Ancient Greece. So, good role models for a stable homelife.

The online discourse over Annabeth being played by Leah Jeffries is ridiculous. Personally, I think it was a great casting choice. Not only does she play the role perfectly, but I'm glad for the African American kids who watch this and have a chance to see themselves in this intelligent, skilled, daughter of the goddess of wisdom.

Thanks for educating me!! I didn't realise this was a Stereotype! I'll admit we don't have a lot of Black people where I am from, most of our racism revolves around Polish and Romanian's, so I had no idea!! But now I do so thank you!

Mosco Moon

Oh she was! Rick (the author) said that the actress was picked cause she was able to portray annabeth the best! And he had to say so that cause a lot of people were mad that she wasn’t a white blonde anymore and were harassing her so while the casting wasn’t made to break the trope it does add another layer to the character that wasn’t there before

Don't worry about it, asking questions is the first step to understanding. There is a stereotype of black people (particularly black men) being stupid. I don't think that was the intention with the casting, to be clear, but it does still fit the theme regardless. "People of color" is more a catch-all for non-white. Depending on who you ask, either "black" or "African-American" is preferred.

Oh literally someone above elluded to this in their comment!!! I didn't realise that was an issue! That makes a lot of sense in the casting! I just assumed that they cast her because she was the best to audition (likely still the case!) but thats so cool to know thank you!!

Mosco Moon

I'm not American so please educate me! I know the stereyotype is that Asians ARE intelligent, is there one where... people of colour aren't? (Sorry if I got this wrong, trying to read between the lines of your comment, and don't mean to offend!) ^^''

I really liked your reaction! Such a fun series :) My godly parent would be Hades, for no other reason than I took the quiz ^^

Luka_Stardust

Great Reaction! I am glad your liking the series a few things: 1.) If I had to pick a cabin it'd be probably Apollo for no real reason 2.) as a hardcore fan of the series since 2009 I think them hiring a black actress to play Annabeth was the perfect and an amazing choice. Young Woman of Color particularly young black girls intelligence are constantly being undermined and underestimated so the fact young black girls can now see themselves in annabeth is beautiful to me 3.) You'll grow to like Clarisse in time

As for godly parents, I'll take Athena. She seems to take a bit more interest in her godly kids than most of the others, and wisdom and tactics are both my jam.

I really like how we're all expecting Percy to win the fight with his water powers, they even *tease* this by setting the fight right next to the water. Then...he flat out wins by being a better fighter.

David Johnson

So you're right about the original intention of making Annabeth blonde, with the dumb blonde stereotype, but it's worth remembering that there's another group that (particularly in the US) gets stereotyped incorrectly as being stupid.

Ferret

I like how Annabeth always looking like she is calculating what's going to happen next. If I have any complaint about set design it's that the statues aren't painted, as they would have been in ancient Greece. I know it would look weird to most people, used to the modern paint's-worn-off white marble, but it still triggers me. What can I say, I'm a high nit-pick threat environment.
