He wasn’t just admired in the Halfblood world, and Annabeth didn’t mind hearing her friends compliment him. Though the comparisons were often highly amusing to listen to.

Fandom misinterpretations are so funny to me because when EYE do it, it's for a very specific reason that you simply just don't understand, and when you do it, you're wrong

So...about the whole "Thalia made me earn her care" scene in the tv show?
I've seen a lot of justification for it floating around with the point that Thalia being harsh was a natural reaction given everything with Jason. Of course she'd be reluctant to open her heart to another kid, and of course she'd be scared to bring Annabeth along just to lose her later on. And if this reasoning works for you, heightens your enjoyment even, great. Really.
But for me, it was something that undermined one of the most important pieces of the series so I thought I'd offer an unnecessarily long alternative view.
What makes the Broken Trio (Annabeth, Thalia, and Luke) so impactful is that their bond is in stark contrast to the individual relationships the three share with their real families. Annabeth went thoroughly neglected by her father and absentee mother. The same for Luke, saddled with a mother who was tragically unavailable whether she wanted to be or not, and a father who never stepped in. And for Thalia, she never knew where she stood with her mother. Did Beryl love her daughter for her, or did she love her because she was proof of Zeus' favor. Did she truly care about Thalia--because from a little girl's perspective, she surely couldn't have cared about Jason all that much, trading his life to Hera in order to save her own--or did she just see her as a bargaining chip for immortality? And was that even love at all? And later on the same sentiment would apply to Zeus as well. Did he save her because he cared for her or because he thought she could be brought back to control the prophecy in his name?
All three of these kids were given nothing but conditional love. They all suffered under the weight of their desires to prove themselves to their parents whether out of spite (Luke, and Thalia to an extent) or love (Annabeth), because that was the only way they'd get the gods' attention, let alone their affection.
That's why it's so so important that when they came across each other and decided to form their own family, they chose to break this pattern. Luke stuck with Thalia knowing she was a magnet for danger with a huge target on her back. Thalia ignored Hal and Zoë's warnings, trusting Luke solely off who he had shown himself to be. And both of them looked at Annabeth, knowing she would slow them down--she was seven, how could she not--and decided to bring her along anyway because she deserved better and if her family wouldn't step up, they would.
These weren't rational decisions because family isn't meant to be rational and they're not Athena. They don't want to be. And we see this emotionality reflected in their choices throughout. Ever logical, strategic Annabeth believes in Luke even when she shouldn't because a long time back, he chose her when he didn't need to. There's a million different interpretations of Luke because, let's face it, his character was messy and inconsistent in canon, but what ultimately sets him apart from the gods or titans is a genuine care for his family, even if he stomps all over it at times. For Thalia, even after Luke poisoned her tree, she maintained faith in him right until the last moment on the mountain. Her breaking point was when he hurt Annabeth, leading her to purge all the good parts of Luke from her memory, forcing herself to only think about the betrayal so she could do what she believed was necessary to protect Annabeth. Not that I don't think she made the right call, but I do think this was far more of an emotional reaction than a purely practical one, which is further emphasized by how Percy (the neutral party, the outsider to this family) had to look at Luke empathetically and from both sides to make his final choice (@ruegarding has a fantastic meta on this that you should definitely check out).
Anyway, the point is: these three did not perpetuate conditional love on each other. It's essential that they saw each other, hurt and lonely, and chose to care. It's one thing to have Thalia be less open with her affection and ensuring Annabeth learn how to fight, but it's attaching a completely different connotation to say she literally made Annabeth "earn" her affection (like, Annabeth was seven and alone and practically living in a dumpster. Are you saying Thalia wouldn't be completely on board with taking her away from there until Annabeth proved herself with a dagger?), and it's only worsened with Percy immediately linking her to Athena and the gods' way of care when the whole point is that the found family formed between the three was not like that. It was built on the genuine love that they needed, which is why it hurts so much when it breaks, and why it's the central piece that resolves everything in the end.

idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, because i’ve seen a lot of people say stuff like “percy knows better than to go against annabeth”
but see, most people - anyone with a brain, really - are way too scared to challenge annabeth. because 99% of the time, she’s right. she’s always the most intelligent person in the room. shes not only logical and strategic, but she’s sharp, cunning, and even manipulative if she has to be. (as we’ve seen when she’s faced monsters). no one goes against her. one wants to, no one dares.
expect percy. if there’s one thing he knows how to do, it’s argue with annabeth. it’s like breathing. but unlike when they were kids, they don’t truly fight over stupid things. sure, they bicker and squabble over little things, because that’s who they are as a couple. but percy is the only person who will actually challenge her on something real. something big. he doesn’t do it lightly, because he knows how smart she is. but if he truly believes there’s another angle to something, or that she’s wrong because maybe she doesn’t have all the information, or maybe his heart is just in a different place - he’ll go against her. we see it in mark of athena a couple times. (their face-off kinda puts hazel in a trance). in BotL, there’s an argument between them, and i remember it’s stated that watching them argue is like watching an intense tennis match. its heated and fast paced. people make fun of percy for being dumb, and yet percy is the only one that can keep up with annabeth. he knows her better than anyone. he doesn’t think the same as her, but he knows how she thinks. so yeah, he will call her out. he’ll tell her he disgrees. he’ll even tell her that she’s wrong. and people think he’s crazy when he does it.
but annabeth respects the hell out of him for it. and while she might dismiss anyone else immediately, she won’t with him. because she respects him tremendously, and knows if he’s challenging her, there’s something to it. it doesn’t mean she’s gonna let him win, or that she’s gonna back down, because they are both ridiculously stubborn and determined. but he’ll go head to head with her. he’ll have a screaming match with her. and she loves him for it. she respects him for it. and she finds it ridiculously attractive.
because percy and annabeth are equals.

um obsessed w hazels resurrection. like she accidentally martyrs herself for family and then is dragged back to life for family. but not for herself she’s being remade in the name of someone else. nico was originally looking for bianca when he strolled into the fields of asphodel. no one is the same after death no one is the same after coming back as a haunting. and she keeps getting trapped in the past as it runs back to her it won’t let her go. her death was her fate except she escaped it like sisyphus. just like what are the implications of that.. existing for someone else.. overturned sainthood.. she dies a daughter and is brought back as a sister but doesn’t know how to be either. i like to think of her as deathless

gaea killed one of her own men to save percy's life and gave percy back all of his memories in the process. she got to choose, and that's the choice she makes. percy had given no indication he was on her side. and yet she chooses him.
