History WMG / PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians

In RealLife, Alexander the Great had a burgeoning [[AGodAmI god complex]]. His mother allegedly told him he was actually fathered by Zeus, and he would eventually try to pull off a GodEmperor role. As the Percy Jackson universe is one where the Greek gods actually exist and [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy some famous historical people are confirmed as being demigods]], it's entirely possible [[HistoricalInJoke Alexander's claims are a reality in this setting]]. Personality-wise Alexander shares some Zeus characteristics; an incredibly capable and wise man with [[{{Pride}} serious]] [[HairTriggerTemper character]] [[MyopicConqueror flaws]], and [[RealityIsUnrealistic his IRL accomplishments as a conqueror seem like they'd be part of a Greek legend]]. Like the other of the Big 3 Zeus fathered some major figures in World War II, so perhaps a couple millennia before he fathered another really influential political and military figure.

[[WMG: The stories will be edited as to better foreshadow later elements]]
For example taking cues from the musical and having Nico or Bianca show up at the Lotus Hotel. This can extend to other directions as well, like having Annabeth mention her Boston relatives or have Amos Kane cameo in New York City scenes.
* Somewhat confirmed! Rick has stated that there will be peeks at character backstory, foreshadowing Easter eggs of things to come, and nuances in Percy’s family history, among other things. Not to mention that Hermes and Hephaestus are set to show up in person during the events of ''The Lightning Thief'', which Season 1 covers.

[[WMG: Percy and Sally will be cast as Hispanic]]
The growing interpretation of Percy in that way could give Rick a means of handling concerns about the overly white cast of the first series.
* {{Jossed}}. Percy will be played by Creator/WalkerScobell and Sally by Creator/VirginiaKull, so both will still be white. Rather, Annabeth and Grover are the ones who will be {{Race Lift}}ed; Annabeth by Black actor Leah Sava Jeffries and Grover by Southeast Asian actor Aryan Simhadri.

[[WMG: Percy will start to physically resemble his father as the series progresses]]
Based on this tumble post: https://at.tumblr.com/puterboy1/my-feelings-exactly/5wve5rl78c4v
* Well, it helps that according to Rick's final Season 1 casting announcement, Poseidon will be played by Toby Stephens, and Walker Scobell's hair has started to darken.

[[WMG: Grover will not refer to Nemesis as potentially Percy's father]]
That somewhat notorious flub will either not be said at all, or will be edited to reflect the HomosexualReproduction angle that Apollo established in the later series.

[[WMG: Books in the Rick Riordan Presents line will canon immigrant into the series]]
For a couple of example the time in New Mexico in the Titans Curse will show 'The Beast' volcano from Storm Runner where Ah Puch is locked up or during the time in Miami during The Sea of Monsters references are made to calamitrons or the works of Gustavo Vidon. They may even be combined, for example Annabeth may mention both Dr. (Julius) Kane and (Krithika P.) Shah when talking about researchers into mythology.

[[WMG: The Battle of Manhattan will be expanded into a mythological version of ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' Battle of Manhattan]]
Additional characters will be drawn into it to make it an even more chaotic and awesome affair, particularly if the series establishes the spinoff and later series earlier (for example the Demigods being joined by the 21st Nome or the Valkyries of Valhalla) or canonizes the Rick Riordan Presents characters and has them be present.

[[WMG: Sally killing Gabe with the Medusa Head will be altered a la the film]]
That scene has gotten more criticism in recent years and Rick may choose to alter it as to reflect it.
* Rick did mention that [[TooDumbToLive the film version]] [[SchmuckBait of Gabe's demise]] is the one thing he actually liked about it, maybe they'll do that again.

[[WMG: The Gods will be played by multiple actors to set up their ability to change appearances]]
For example 'Teen Apollo' and 'Fred the Hobo'.

[[WMG: The series will be used to set up spin off series]]
Beyond the canonical examples in the Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase if the Rick Riordan Presents titles are also usable we'd see the series set up a 'Storm Runner' series or a 'Pandava Quartet' series.

[[WMG: The series will have Stingers at the end of each season]]
The obvious stinger being that of the Romans and the Battle of Mt. Othrys as a stinger for a Last Olympian season going into The Lost Hero. Some stingers for the (presumably) five seasons of the original series including Polyphemus with the Golden Fleece or Luke receiving the Princess Andromeda, an early preview of Bianca and Nico, Nico meeting Midas, and some Kronos action.

[[WMG: There will be TakeThat jokes about the film]]
Something like 'the Parthenon where the Hydra was (Nashville, TN) burning down' or 'Persephone calling the idea of Hades being abusive to her absolutely stupid'.

[[WMG: Coach Hedge will have an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance]]
He'll be a recurring satyr who coaches the Ares cabin and will be seen comforting Clarisse after [[spoiler: Chris's return to Camp Half-Blood]]. In the final episode of the Last Olympian series, he'll complain about [[Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus being re-assigned to a reform school in Nevada]] after Percy's deal with the gods.
* Hedge actually does appear somewhat in Last Olympian; Grover recieves a report from him early in the book.

[[WMG: The Kane Chronicles stuff won't appear in the series until the Netflix movies are finished]]
Bar a contract allowance for multiple Kane adaptions or something.

[[WMG: We'll see references to the Magnus Chase series before the Kane Chronicles]]
The Kane Chronicles were older and out longer to have rights obtained from while the newer Magnus Chase stuff wasn't as available and Disney may have been able to lock them down first.

[[WMG: Bianca will have some of her characterization tweaked]]

To make her choice to go to the hunters more sympathetic. Maybe she doesn't until she's at camp and (thinks) Nico will be happy there, maybe she is shown to be openly stressed out of her mind trying to care about Nico, etc etc. Maybe even Nico says she can join and only later realizes he misses her.

[[WMG: Daughter of the Deep, which is also getting a Disney plus series, will crossover with Percy Jackson]]

[[WMG: Mr. Chase and his mortal kids will also be {{Race Lift}}ed to be Black in the series.]]
Because Annabeth is gonna be Black in the series, and I doubt they're gonna make Athena Black to match. Besides, if Athena is Black then that means all the Athena demigods will also be Black. Even Daedalus (at least, his original body; no word on how Quintus could be affected).
* Mr. Chase is probably going to be played by Wayne Brady.

[[WMG: Athena will be Black]]

Alternatively, taking a page out of Supergiant's ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'' book, Athena will be cast with dark skin.

[[WMG: Who's gonna play Zeus from Season 2 onward?]]
Now that Creator/LanceReddick is dead, someone's gotta play Zeus in later seasons.
** A recast will be easy enough to justify given the gods can change their appearance at will.

[[WMG: Silena will be race-lifted to match Clarisse]]
Because if she's gonna be impersonating Clarisse in ''The Last Olympian'', the RaceLift is inevitable.

[[WMG: Hades/Pluto is Adolf Hitler's grandfather.]]
It's initially implied that Hitler was a demigod from Hades/Pluto, as the children of the Big 3, and Hazel notes that the god of the underworld has a very strong resemblance to him. However the author has confirmed that Hitler ''is not'' a demigod. However, there's still room to say he's related: Adolf Hitler wouldn't be considered a demigod even if his own father was. Historically Alois Hitler was illegitimate and while his future step-father may have been his real dad, the identity of Adolf Hitler's biological grandfather isn't confirmed. So the reason why there's a resemblance is because Hitler is a ''grandson'' of one of the Big 3. [[EveryoneHasStandards Naturally, Zeus still felt it added to why they should stop having children with mortals]] even if with the Fuhrer there was a generational gap. By extension, this would make Hitler Nico and Hazel's nephew.

[[WMG: [[UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat Alexander the Great's]] claims of being Zeus' son are real in the Camp Half-Blood universe.]]
In RealLife, Alexander the Great had a burgeoning [[AGodAmI god complex]]. His mother allegedly told him he was actually fathered by Zeus, and he would eventually try to pull off a GodEmperor role. As the Percy Jackson universe is one where the Greek gods actually exist and [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy some famous historical people are confirmed as being demigods]], it's entirely possible [[HistoricalInJoke Alexander's claims are a reality in this setting]]. Personality-wise Alexander shares some Zeus characteristics; an incredibly capable and wise man with [[{{Pride}} serious]] [[HairTriggerTemper character]] [[MyopicConqueror flaws]], and [[RealityIsUnrealistic his IRL accomplishments as a conqueror seem like they'd be part of a Greek legend]]. Like the other of the Big 3 Zeus fathered some major figures in World War II, so perhaps a couple millennia before he fathered another really influential political and military figure.

* {{Jossed}}. Percy will be played by Creator/WalkerScobell and Sally by Creator/VirginiaKull, so both will still be white. That said, Annabeth and Grover are the ones who will be {{Race Lift}}ed; Annabeth by Black actor Leah Sava Jeffries and Grover by Southeast Asian actor Aryan Simhadri.

Artemis was pissed at him, so she sent him to Wiki/TVTropes to [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife get his life ruined]]. He started the haiku section, and well...

** Combining the last few theories: Wiki/TVTropes was actually created by Loki.

** Wiki/TheOtherWiki claims that he's a son of Poseidon (Britannia rules from the waves, I guess) while FDR was Zeus' son and Stalin and Hitler were both Hades.

During WWII, Hades' children were mostly on the Axis side. Wiki/TheOtherWiki says Rasputin was one of Hades' children. Rasputin, working with the Nazis? There's only one possible outcome there. I'm still contemplating on Frankenstein (as portrayed in Creator/{{Dean Koontz}}'s work) being another son of Hades. We'll see.

* Mr. Chase is probably going to be played by Wayne Brady.

* {{Jossed}} for Percy; he's played by Creator/WalkerScobell, who definitely seems Caucasian. However, the other leads are {{Race Lift}}ed: Annabeth is played by a Black actress, while Grover is played by an Indian-American.
