#wdym annabeth doesnt know how to be human.

this is actually one of the changes that made me angriest because in the books, luke and thalia take annabeth in for no other reason than compassion and empathy for their shared fates as demigods. SHE WAS THEIR SECOND CHANCE

I know a lot of us have had various complaints about the way the PJO show approached certain things, but one thing I haven’t seen people bring up is the change made to Thalia’s relationship with Annabeth, in which Thalia made Annabeth “earn” her place in the group, instead of Thalia being sympathetic towards a 7 yr. old who was all alone and needed a place to belong.

Now, it’s very possible that Rick and the writers will forget they made that change and things will proceed as normal, but let’s just assume that Thalia and Annabeth’s relationship will actually change.

Am I the only one that doesn’t really like this change? It makes Thalia seem like a massive asshole, and I’m not even entirely sure that it fits her character (assuming we’re still working with the same Thalia; with the way the show’s going, it’s very possible that she’s gonna get a personality shift too). I also wonder what repercussions this is going to have when we get to Titan’s Curse. The show’s version of Annabeth sounded almost resentful regarding her relationship with Thalia, and it sounds like the show’s version of Thalia is the type of person who doesn’t really empathize with people until they prove they deserve it. Does that mean that their relationship in TTC will be awkward and unfriendly? That’s not really the dynamic that those two seem to have.

Idk, man.
