well in the actual books, they start out as children.

I was aware. I have not read the books, but I did see the movies.

The movies are bad. The books are, well not literary masterpieces, but considerably better.

It is not a remake, it is a proper telling of the books.

I never read the books, was the movies not a proper retelling?

 

[Henadic Theologian]

I suppose it will be interesting to see how radically different the tone of the series is when Percy Jackson and his compatriots are actually children. Alexandra Daddario was 24 in the first film, while Leah Jeffries is 14.

It was a the right choice, any time you can cast Alexandra Daddario in anything it's the right choice.

Wildly different.

IMO, it got few things right, Names and places but due to changes it basically removed one of the driving forces in the books. Along with switching character attributes around.

The musical is considered to be a better adaptation.

It was a the right choice, any time you can cast Alexandra Daddario in anything it's the right choice.

Putting her on my radar was the only good thing imo the movies did.

I believe that was her break out role in fact
