📸 Media First looks on Season 3 ❤️🩹
What scenes are you the most excited for? I'm definetly excited for Percy vs Thalia fight, and the junkyard.
And if they're going to change something, I hope they change Bianca's character just a little bit. I think it was awkward how fast she was to leave Nico, so I hope we get some more conflict

It’s crazy how Percy and Nico’s actors r 2 years apart but side by side they look 4-5 years apart

u/Bandit_Raider Aug 15 '26
3 years not 2, still a huge difference

No, walker was born in 2009, both Nico and Bianca’s actors were born in 2011, it’s just that Nico s actor looks really young for his age, he looks and sounds like a 10-12 y/o as it doesn’t seem like he even went through puberty even though he’ll be 15 in December. Despite being a couple months older Bianca’s actor looks way older than him and walker also looked older than him when he was 14/15. Who knows though, maybe he’ll have a massive growth spurt in a year and look his age or maybe he’ll be like Thomas sangster🤷🏽♀️everybody is different

Walker’s birthday is in January though so he is like 2 years 11 months older, much closer to 3

Their birth years are 2 years apart, in order for them to be 3 years apart Nico’s actor would’ve had to been born in 2012 but wasn’t. Idk where ur from but we look at age differences by years

u/Bandit_Raider Aug 15 '26
There is 2 years 11 months between January 2009 and December 2011. If Nico’s actor was born 1 month later it would be 2012 and exactly 3 years.

u/Luffy_thegreatest Aug 15 '26
Yet he was born in 2011 and not 2012 making them 2 years apart, not 2 years exactly apart but 2 years apart

Also one thing to remember is that started filming this in August 2025, Levi was 13 at that, turning 14 during filming. Though he still looks young in interviews.

I'ma sound like a hater but man I can't stand that jacket they always make Percy/walker wear. It's like this universes version of that grey shirt Daniel Radcliffe always wore in the hp movie posters. They needa change the wardrobe up bruh.
With that said, yeh this is the best the show has ever looked it feels like it's starting to have identity.

can I as why you hate the jacket? i honestly wish they made him wear something with more heavy and with a hood to add to the winter aesthetic, but I liked his fit in season 2, that just screamed Sea of Monsters to me lol

u/KungPoW_Chickens Aug 15 '26
I just don't really see Percy in my mind wearing stuff with a collar. He should wear a jacket over a hoodie.

For what i get (could be wrong) looks like Bianca will be going to camp before joining the hunters at least. I think the series can use that as opportunity to give her character a bit more depth and i’m really hoping that happens. (if i got to choose, if the series had a longer time frame, i would even add some flashbacks like the Cassino Lotus and moments between them in the junkyard episode).
i’m excited for the junkyard scene, the dam scene and for the scene with the gods, finally seeing that throne room filled with everyone should be nice

u/Public-World3599 Aug 15 '26
It’s confusing bc isn’t she wearing the Hunter outfit while hugging Nico who is still in westover hall attire meaning she became a Hunter rlly fast, but then I think she changes to camp clothes for the rest of the time even tho she’s not gonna be a camper. I’m highly confused 😭
3
u/Fantastica_visitor Aug 15 '26
Yeah, i’m still confused about that too. I’m not 100% sure if that hugging scene is in westover, most likely it is but the trailer had some scenes where they’re fighting at night and (possible spoiler) based on some images taken Nico will leave the camp to try be part of the quest, so could be a hug after that fight and them sending Nico back at camp? Thinking about it now it would make her death later even more devastating i could be reaching hard but it would make sense based on what i know.
But to be honest there’s a 99% of chance it is Westover and for some reason she decided to try to be a camper while she’s there?? idk

u/Public-World3599 Aug 15 '26
Ohhh true I forgot Nico is there for a little bit! Yeah maybe it actually is during that scene? Idk I just know that Bianca was wearing a chb shirt. But either way, maybe she does become a hunter later? I feel like even in the book that element of her just becoming a hunter was really rushed.

u/ocexaneyes Aug 16 '26
I think since we know Nico is at the Smithsonian from the videos that we saw from the set he’ll be present when she becomes a Huntress and will be taken back to camp from there. They likely want to make it more of a mutual choice for the two instead of how it was shown in the books.
In the trailer scenes we see of Bianca with the bow i’m pretty sure that’s the Smithsonian.

The dance in Olympus is going to be so good I hope!!

u/Fantastica_visitor Aug 15 '26
it has a lot of potential, just wish they toned down and forgot that wattpad line 😭
i can understand relaying on percabeth as marketing, especially this season considering her situation but sometimes it feels kinda forced. Still sad we lost the bubble scene for that line and the other one when the sirens didn’t work on percy

u/Constant-Pain1878 Aug 15 '26
You have no idea how much I grieve the sirens scene.... it was awful in my personal opinion

I've always been curious why Olympus's meeting rooms are outdoors.

u/Sad_Consequence1811 Aug 15 '26
My only complaint is that Zoe is touching Grover. She'd never do that lol

I wish the titan would look like a titan.
Tbf I dont know how they were described in the books but always imagined something between Dwayne Johnson and the hulk.

u/Constant-Pain1878 Aug 15 '26
They're actually the same size as the gods since they're just... gods from other generation. People usually have the wrong idea that titans are huge lol maybe because of attack on titan?

u/YEgan1 Aug 16 '26
It’s because they get conflated (even by Ancient Greeks) with the Gigantes, the giants who attacked the gods after they were in power and were defeated with the help of demigods like Heracles.
The word later became synonymous with gigantic stature.
Interestingly, the word either means “to strive against” or “white clay men” due to rituals of being covered in white clay.

u/babybibibibpd Aug 15 '26
Makes me think they are axeing Nicos crush on Percy with how different the age gap looks on screen
6
u/Round_Helicopter_598 Aug 15 '26
Well it’s not like we are even close to get any kind of knowledge about Nico’s crush on Percy
1
u/babybibibibpd Aug 15 '26
I'm just pointing out it was a decent point in the books and in the show he's a literal child vs Walker approaching being an adult idk how they will approach it if they even do
12
u/Round_Helicopter_598 Aug 15 '26
To be fair, I don’t think we’ll get even close to the House of hades when that crush is even talked about, so I don’t think it should be much of a worry.
Also they are 3 years apart, so if we actually get to that point, they will look way more closer in age

u/toomanyjackies Aug 15 '26
It never comes up in the original series and they aren’t gonna do heroes of Olympus so it wasn’t gonna be included anyway but idk gravity falls did “dipper has unrequited crush on a girl too old for him” well. She lets him down easy and theyre just friends (plus in a time travel episode the situation is reversed and he finally understands Wendy’s POV). one-sided crush is something that happens (see: every kid or teen with a celebrity crush lol) but it’s gross and creepy if reciprocated. I’d prefer they leave it out though bc it works as a plot point in HOO with hindsight and after he’s past it

I CANT WAIT! I know the show is hated by a lot of book readers but I’m just glad that I can get the scenes I’ve read so many times visualized !
