Percy Jackson Series Should've Been Animated

The Disney+ Percy Jackson and the Olympians series has sparked intense online debate—especially over the casting of Leah Jeffries as Annabeth Chase. While some fans embraced the inclusive approach and praised the young actors’ performances, others criticized the show for straying from the original character descriptions. Author Rick Riordan stood firmly by the casting choices, defending them as true to the spirit of the books, but controversy swirled as he was accused of shutting down legitimate criticism. This video dives into the reactions to the series so far—examining how faithful it is to the books, whether the acting and writing hold up, and whether some fans were right to suggest that animation might have been the better route.
