They can force black girl bosses on the entire population's media for the next 200 years, but it won't change the fact that people despise this archetype.
Just you wait. When you see a black woman chimping out about something, you will surely find yourself assuming that she is a genius computer hacker any day now.
It really is a "wet streets cause rain" situation, which is the case with almost all leftist ideas. They truly believe that we don't like black women because they aren't depicted as the heroes in media. Not because we've interacted with them at the gas station on our way home from work.
Percy Jackson’s Season 2 drop may be tied to the two-year gap between seasons, younger viewers aging out, and the show failing to grow beyond its core book-reader audience, with the decline far steeper than normal despite a December release.
The amount of cope is funny. 2 years apparently was to much time and they think readers care less about the source material than normies? When the movies came out people hated that Annabeth was not blond. She was not race swapped or anything but in the books she was blond and people were very upset with that. They think that somehow book fans are ok with recasts that make no sense.
Marvel transitioned almost their entire roster to women and minorities and then immediately blamed the subsequent ratings collapse on "superhero fatigue".
Sorta like how the wave of sudden deaths after 2020 remains a mystery. It can't be the obvious thing, the one big thing that's different. No, there has to be an explanation that doesn't implicate the leftist narrative.

Which was blown out the water when a "good" movie later released, like Deadpool and Wolverine.
Yeah I'm surprised this caused a noticeable drop, or that there was even an audience to begin with. I don't really know anything about it aside from tertiary fan shit, and that's all so gay that whenever I read the words "Percy Jackson," in my head I hear it with a lisp.

Because we despise this demographic in real life.
Because they are the absolute worst.

I have one as my supervisor. It is bad.
Oof, you have my sympathy.

They always, always do this.

Its probably how these faggots fail upwards/sideways. They just make up any number of excuses or pass the blame.
Well the Greek pantheon was filled with diversity, don't you know?
Europe was always brown bigot!
So they keep trying to tell me. Well by trying I mean they yell in my face and demand I ignore history and facts and just trust them
Spoiler y'all, the books are heavily pozzed too. Riordan goes heavily gay in the second series and it doesn't get better from there.
It was mid tier writing for teenagers to begin with, but it quickly became full blown DEI garbage.
I tried to get through the first book years ago and couldn’t do it. It was so boring.

Should I be happy that I have no idea who Percy Jackson is?
The target demo is teenage girls. Adventure + romance and teen drama on a backdrop of greek and roman mythos during current times.
As an adult there is 0 chance you can enjoy the books.
Those sure are some swarthy greeks and romans.
We wuz Olympians
As is everything else in the West.
It's a fairly popular YA series that emerged in the post Harry Potter wave that features classical mythology.
So Greeks that got blackwashed.
The classical mythology sounds cool, but I just looked them up and the storylines are very stupid.
Yes, that's what YA means.
Beat me to it.
Percy is Perseus, but done as YA drama slop.
What does "YA" stand for? Yaoi?
I'm assuming "Young Adult".
Thank you. I guess the talk above about it being homosexual fiction coloured my expectations.
May as well at this point, but no as Schnapples points out in the other reply it's "Young Adult" for the target audience.
It's based on young adult book series so you are fine.
Didn’t they make three perfectly fine YA movies on the books? What’s the reason for another series?
To add more diversity
Just like how 19 out of 20 games with a black woman on the promotional posters or game cover will fail or underperform hehe.
And I loathed the first movies already, only interesting there was Alexandra Daddario for the eyecandy. This series has nothing going for it.
Does she get blacked with all this diversity i keep people saying.
Not in these movies but they pushed that in her witch series (forgot the name).
I'm guessing like most modern shows, it started off decent in S1 and went full pozzed in s2.
