What do I want to see in the Disney+ Percy Jackson series?

1. No acting/writing/directing/producing/composing/editing/cinematography continuity between the "films" and the TV show. 2. Roles selected by geographic casting. This means Percy from New York City and Annabeth from around Richmond, Virginia and Clarisse from Phoenix, Arizona and Luke from Westport, Connecticut.  3. Family situations taken into account in casting, as well. This means Bianca and Nico should be more on the self-reliant side and Percy should have a stepfather and Annabeth should have a stepmom with some kids of her own.  4. An actual Camp Half-Blood set on Long Island. 

Explaining the Different Earths in the Multiverse

Earth 1 was destroyed before the events of the CW Crisis on Infinite Earths Arrowverse crossover Earth 2 will be the setting for the upcoming The Batman film Earth 90 no longer has a Flash incarnation after he sacrificed himself during Crisis  Earth 167 is where Smallville takes place  Earth 666 is the setting for Lucifer , which I believe is on Netflix  Earth 1226 will be the setting for the upcoming M.O.D.O.K. animated show Earth 199,999 is the setting for the Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity    

Potential Biographies/Autobiographies

This could be used to fill in missing information or plot holes or just as additional material for an already successful film/television franchise Riley Andersen ( Inside Out ) Troy Bolton ( High School Musical series) Jackie Burkhardt (That 70s Show) Martha Cox ( High School Musical series and High School Musical: the Musical: The Series ) Chad Danforth ( High School Musical series) James Edwards/Agent J ( Men in Black series) Eric Forman ( That 70s Show ) Laurie Forman ( That 70s Show ) Julie Gaffney ( Mighty Ducks franchise) Regina George ( Mean Girls ) Ste Hay ( Hollyoaks ) Cady Heron ( Mean Girls ) Steven Hyde ( That 70s Show ) Beth Johannsen ( The Martian ) Michael Kelso ( That 70s Show ) Kendra Mason from Degrassi - This would answer a long-standing question: why was she only at Degrassi Community School for one season? Spinner Mason ( Degrassi ) Taylor McKessie ( High School Musical  series) Lightning McQueen ( Cars series)  Gabriella Montez ( High School Musical ...

Pros of adapting various comic strips into animated series (cons in another post)

Beetle Bailey: Not just the everyman titular character but the other members of the platoon.  Get Fuzzy: The various eccentric characters featured in the strip, from British cat Mac Manc McManx to the aptly-named Chubby Huggs to Foodar ( Food Rad ar ).  Retail: The character's careers and relationships grow and their personal and financial lives outside of the store are explored.  Zits: This isn't a static strip in terms of personal development. For instance, Jeremy (the main character) is thinking of getting a barista job during college and a few years ago he was at his freshman dance.

Today in Get Fuzzy...

It's always impressive when a long-running comic strip delivers some new information about one of their characters, like the Garfield arc from a couple years back when he saw his grandfather and his first bed (which was adapted into the short Garfield on the Town ). Today's Get Fuzzy did something similar but didn't go as far back- we meet one of Satchel's cousins- Chretien Salad (emphasis, I'm guessing, on the second syllable) from Prince Edward Island! And that, of course, opens up some discussion points which will hopefully be explored in the next couple of strips.  1. Satchel is apparently fluent in French. This was the big surprise, at least for me,  in the final panel, where (one assumes) Satchel yelling at Chretien in French would stop him from harming Bucky further (although I'll be honest, I wouldn't complain too much if Chretien did launch Bucky somewhere). Anyway, I think the surprise is less that Satchel knows French (he is Quebecois, after all...
