My favorite thing about this new PJO trailer has to be the shots of the collective campers. I think one of the biggest problems with the movies casting older actors, is that it was harder to understand the actual moral conflict. You watch the movie and think, “oh these guys are like 20, they can battle it out” and it’s just another run of the mill “I’m mad at my dad” villain. When casting younger actors throughout, it hits so much harder that the people that these immortal gods have chosen to fight their battles, to die for them, are children. In the first shot of Clarisse, there’s kids with their first-day-of-middle-school new glasses frames. Kids in the trees crouching in their matching t shirts. And a child holding a battle axe. The appropriate aging is gonna make the whole series a lot more disturbing at times and one of the main villains a lot more compelling
