Agreed, that would’ve been satisfying to see

yeah, well people see what they want to see.

Even the author said she intended Rue to be black.

I've never read the books and always heard rue was white. Interesting they didn't get as upset when katniss is supposed to be darker than in the movies 🤔

@@terynb4407 in the books it clearly said Rue had dark hair and dark skin.

Katie?

@@Daughterof_Poseidon darn autocorrect lol

@@WayVDreams127 lol

and brown eyes

Right? Also olive skin would be Italian lol not Native American

Snow had to be menacing, and D. Sutherland made a terrific job, the AI generated seems more an old frail man.

He's described as snake like in the book, with overly full lips from having had a procedure done, this wasn't even close

​@@cintiasantiago3532 i think that was more metaphorical to demonstrate his menace and power.

He was filled to the brim with plastic surgery in the movie

So is alma

and finnik, come on!!

He actually was not even considered for the role until he wrote a letter to the director convincing him to cast him. It’s amazing because _A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes_ hadn’t been published yet and he nailed the character.

Nope I can't stand woody harrelson I find him creepy tbh. The ai is much better

@@Yaffayaffa1984 The AI reminds me of Ian McShane who I think would make a pretty good Haymitch if they ever get around to doing a streaming series on the books.

@@karmagrl76 yeah but he's 81, that's much older than Haymitch

I used to imagine him as Robert Downey Jr, quite close to AI

@@scceka Ohhhh wish I'd done that while reading the books that would've been good 😍😭

“Gigachad”

Don't ever go to Brazil. You might die of intimidation.

Nah... looks like my average Latino 🎊

@@YoghurtEquity Kinda true too lol

That's debatable as to whether or not Katniss was poc. Don't forget, her mother and sister were blonde, blue eyed and light skinned. Having an olive skin tone doesn't automatically mean poc. A lot of Mediterranean Europeans have tan to olive skin tones yet they are considered white (except to racists who only think Northern Europeans are actually white). It's possible that Katniss, her father and others from the Seam have Mediterranean lineage like Italian or Greek. Wouldn't be too far fetched as those areas do have a high Italian population especially in the New York area.

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl yes this is true. I have olive skin and dark hair but I’m not a poc and my sister is blonde

​@TimberlakeTigerGirl katniss was compared to her lighter sister to bring our the racial aspect of the Districts. It was important for Katniss to take after her father.

@darkmage4648 You completely missed what I said. Since her mother and sister are blonde, blue eyed whites, then that means that Katniss is technically not a poc.

Olive skin doesn't mean people of colour.

Most agree , though, that she has native Appalachian feature compared to the white people of the D12 village and markets

@@dan_38 I didn't say it's wrong here, or she should be lighter.

Actually, the book makes the distiction about the seam people being darker than the ones not born there. If not, then the author wouldn't need to make the contrast between the people of district 12, the seam people having olive skin and the others having pale skin. FYI, having olive skin doesn't mean they're not white if thats what you're worried about. Italians and Greeks have olive skin too.

@@shanchan8247 still: I didn't say it's wrong here, or she should be lighter. Why do people think I'm against it? I'm just stating facts.

Olive skin is an undertone I agree, but when it's used in books it means someone with a mediterranean skin tone

Right

Ikr, AI Haymitch looked like my grandpa.

They were. They didn't want people eho haven't read the books to get on here acting dumb. If they can harass the child actress who played Rue, they won't care about a youtuber. Although its interesting that people only hated Rue, not Thresh. It makes me suspect that most of the hatred came from other blk people.

@@shanchan8247 I can assure you, it wasnt black people you can read the comments of the people and see their pics or location. People didnt mind Thresh because he was a minor character, but Rue was a pivotal part of the story and one of the turning points of Katniss character trajectory. I mean " Dark satiny brown skin" is pretty obvious.. District 11 was obviously the Southern region like Atlanta, Mississippi, Alabama.. etc.. The hatred did not come from black people and yeah it was a missed opportunity with Rue.. its conclusive, because the AUTHOR said they were black.. insert eye roll to the naesayers on the ones that said it was black people hating...

I couldn’t take that part seriously bro haha

Was thinking the same😂😂

Yeah like what 😂

Must be how Katniss described him

Very masculine looking i guess?​@silvervixen007

I forget the exact context, but I think it was the Games not giving him to much focus as a friend of a victor, because it would call into question why Katniss was into Peeta when Gale was right there.

Yes! I loved Sam Claffin long before he was cast as Finnick and I thought he didn't match the description, but THE ACTING sold it 100%. Other actors did amazing job as well!

I do agree she was a good choice for the role, but keep in mind that you're talking about the beauty of an under age character, and an actor who was underage at the time.

Literally

Probably left out to avoid getting racist harrassment from people who didn't read the books/missed the part where they say she's black. Apparently the actress of Rue faced harrasment for being her race.

Yea they have the exact same parents 💀💀💀💀

It's mentioned in the book that Katniss took her father's features more while Prim took her mother's

it's spelled China

AI was like I’m going to use Sam Heughan‘s head for this one lol

I think he’s supposed to, main difference being is their builds since Snow is small and really skinny whereas Peeta is quite broad and stocky and Lucy gray looks similar to Katniss. So Peeta reminds him of himself

Yeah peeta was definitely never described as ‘small for a male’ im not sure where they got that from? Not that it would matter if he was, but I know for a fact that was never stated

@@themazerunnerfangirl1 thank you for your suggestion

I’m surprised you called her tiger lady if you’ve read all the books, especially since she’s pretty significant in the prequel unless you said that incase other people didn’t know?

That’s… fascinating?

@@chanbang378 Well, that and I had a crush on this guy during college. He looked just like Cato’s doppelgänger. So yeahhh… nostalgic reasons?

He also doesn't look seventeen years old, lol

​@@ArtemisNYC Finnick is 24, not 17.

@@ptitepeluche05 ah! 🤦🏻 you’re so right! lol

That’s interesting to me, have you never seen that before? That actually exists, some siblings looks different because some take genetics off their mother and others look like their father. Katniss looks like her dad, who is from the seam.

What makes it more ridiculous is that the books never said once that peeta was small, especially never said he was small for a male not even once 😭. It wouldn’t matter if he was short but it’s a fact that he was never described as short, he’s at least a head taller than Katniss. And the ‘too male’ thing for Gale wasn’t a description of how Gale looks at all, that was in catching fire when Katniss said that the Capitol made up a lie of Gale being Katniss cousin, because they interview family and friends of the final 8 tributes and the Capitol audience loved the star crossed lovers story line so much they had to make Gale family because in their opinion he’s ’too handsome and too male’ to just be a friend.

Some stupid description lol 😅

More like Sam Heughan
