HI JOHN

hi!!!! ultimate collab lol

Deathly Hallows could have been 1 book also. There were HEAPS of scenes that could be cut out and still give the same atmosphere and idea( especially the forest scenes). For Mokingjay tho, it was absurd.

@@AmiCestLaVie BYE JOHN

OMGGGG JOHN HIIII

Yeah. What's so special about having several personality traits?

I feel like there's maybe a way a singular book could make that work, rather than a series. Maybe a character who tried to fit the mold of one of the factions and having to accept in the end that they are multifaceted and that this is neither special nor bad. Yknow a coming of age thing in the same way Inside Out was. But then we couldn't have had our super special main character who is great in every way. 🤷‍♂️

@@carliy9485 Well spoilers for the the books if I'm remembering this right, but that was actually a plot twist was that every else in has messed up genes from the government trying to make people that make their behavior fit into the categories and get rid of undesirable traits and people who are divergent are literally normal people. The cities they live are part of a genetic experiment to fix this and once they have enough divergent people they can integrate back into society.

Yea, I think that's why huge audiences didn't "love" the last few. She kind of devolves as a person while usually characters develop over time. That's not a bad thing in my opinion, it actually made the story more realistic and hard-hitting because war does that to people. But I can see why popcorn audiences wouldn't enjoy it as much.

It’s a literal chosen one Chosen One narrative.

I watched catching fire in the cinemas with my cousins when I was 6 or 7, I’m 15 now (reading CF at the moment) and I remember nothing of that movie😂 I can’t wait to rewatch it, maybe the memories will come flooding back lol Edit: I realised after watching the movie (it was actually after reading the book, but movie visually) that the only scene I remember was the one where Katniss was being lifted up from the arena and the arena being destroyed behind her. THAT SCENE WAS CINEMA.

@@random-zz8ut No way, the one scene I remember very vividly is the exact one your just described with the forklift thing lifting Katniss up, such a profound moment

@@MarshPlays omg, wow, i guess it's just a very iconic and memorable scene

@@nms7872 I’d argue it’s the other way around. Logan played the son of a god... while Dylan was a maze runner?

the sequel series, the comic adaptations, and the theater musical, all of which i mostly didn't read or watch but i heard they were very good. plus rick riordan is basically an anti-jk rowling.

there was NO REASON for them to do Finnick like they did

Alright, Gayle may have been useless in the movies but in the books, he is a legit love interest. We get to learn why he actually matters to Katniss and how their pasts were connected. In the movie, we are just told that he is important to her with no explanation. I will admit, it's a little jarring to leave Gayle as a hopeless District 12 member and the next time see him as a paramilitary member. But then again, the series isn't ABOUT Gayle's story, so of course his character development happens off-screen. I'm just saying, the movies did Gayle dirty.

@@nylahonthenet RIGHT? And the way he died...I can’t take it.

@@WhoWantsCake0 OF COURSE! I agree, 100% fair. I read the books too! And I completely understand your point, the movies are the ones to blame the lack of meaning behind his character. I wish they’d have took more care of that part, everything would’ve more sense. I’ve watched the movies a few times with friends and they are always asking me why Katniss cared so much about him or what was his purpose. And he had so much potential, damn.

I mean...of course Finnick didn't deserve to die. Unnecessary death was the theme of the books and his death was an extremely strong way to reinforce that

*mwah*

The Hobbit has entered the chat...

I don't even like Dystopian stories but I love the Hunger Games

Definitely, it feels more timeless than the other ones I think bc it was based on Greek mythology which has stood the test of time as well as mixing in today's reality tv culture, it's just such a surprising and relevant concept

​@Morgan Lalikos It's also important to point out that Hunger Games stood out from other dystopian novels. Other novels like Divergent or the Maze Runner focus on the hero and the defeat against injustice, but Hunger Games went a step further by showing the cost of this defeat against the unjust and the sacrifices the hero had make. In a way, it criticised it's own motives itself. Hunger Games felt more realistic as well, or like the most realistic one at least. We've seen and still see the pattern of some Katniss Everdeen again and again, and know real places like Panem - I mean look at Syria or Afghanistan or even Russia. Once saw a comment that went something like: "If you want to see the Hunger Games in real life, just turn on your news channel".

The hunger Games is the only dystopian YA series I liked because I thought the actual hunger games themselves were interesting. After number 2 when they took out the only thing that separates it from the million other despotism series, my interest plummeted. They are all literally “big bad government oppressing people, then revolution.” There is no meaningful variation.

Can't agree, first movie is mediocre at best and all the sequels are even worse. The characters are boring and the politics half assed, the game itself isn't even exciting, like they copied the concept of BR but none of the ideas that make killing games interesting.

@@theolast9727 Well, at least the movies were true to the source material

Same. I had to drop the books in the middle of death cure because of how dragged out the plot seamed.

@@clarquagmire7480 I was honestly surprised at how realistic the movie portrayed "heroes" and propaganda. Only thing i would change in part 2 was have more time pass between the victory and Katniss killing President Coin. It could have been paced a little slower imo, so the weight of her action had hit harder.

I really think people are missing the point of the Hunger Games Franchise. It's not supposed to be a battle royale series where kids fight to the death. That's totally not the point. It's a movie about politics 100% It's about war, the effects of a revolution and the effects of civil war, what happens when a revolution fails, how rebel leaders use the people to their advantage, how there is no regard for human life etc... People missed all these points and are just there to watch kids kill eachother 🤦‍♂️ that's not even why the government in the movie did it, they did it to keep the provinces divided and to always remind them of who is in charge. To give them a fake escape route, something to keep them distracted etc... With that said. I really didn't like the 3rd movie. I felt it was very very boring and utterly pointless. Sure it had some good parts, but there was no reason to split the finale into 2 books. In my opinion, I think the finale would have been great if they just mixed part 1 and 2. They could have kept the propaganda plot, and kept Peeta at the capitol serving as an anti propaganda agent for the capitol. Instead of rescuing Peeta, they could have used the plot of part 2 where they had to go to the capitol, and then everything happens the way it did in part 2 and Peeta is rescued. Then they can make a fast forward scene where Peeta is back to normal and Katniss chooses him over Gale, then the final scene of them in the future or whatever. That, in my opinion, would have made it a great trilogy. The 3rd movie didn't work well for me. It was incredibly slow and boring and at the end nothing was accomplished. You can feel it was just a cash grab

@@alidokadri i guess they could. Though i didnt mind it being split in two... but i also prefer slower pacing. I mean i felt the time between the fall of Capitol and death of Alma Coin felt rushed. I would have liked it to develop more.. even if i already guessed that Katniss would kill her when Snow told her she had bombed the civilians to make Snows guards turn against him. I would have given the two moments a little more time to breath... unless they went for the spectacle.. but then they should have made it less obvious that Katniss would shoot Alma 🤷‍♂️ That was the only real complaint i had.

@@alidokadri imo if the viewers are watching to see kids Jill each other it's a sign of failure from the ppl making the plot. The setup of the first two movies didn't prepare for the big wars between the capital and stuff sufficiently.

@@alergames147 actually you have a point. When I first watched Catching Fire in 2017 I got that there were tensions, but the setup of an all out war was too fast. The first two movies showed the suffering of the people really well, but there were no hints whatsoever of a conflict coming. Maybe very few hints, but if you think about it, that's how revolutions work. They are random outbursts of rage by hungry, suffering people

Wel same mostly but i hated the last movie and last book.

Tbh even the books weren't really good, Suzanne Collins is good at world building but the emotional scene is just lacking depth. She often skip and rush to the next part in the climate or when dealing with complicated emotions and plots. Like how she rushed my boy Finnick's death and she didn't even show much about the aftermath of the war, but she spent so many pages making the propos and other boring stuff. The pacing of the storytelling is weird sometimes.

Don't forget the dArK and dEpReSsEd version of shows/books we all loved like Riverdale, Winx Club and now possibly ATLA too

Yea. But the weird thing is that the second and the third movie have nothing to do with what happens in the books. When i watched the movies i was confused, thought i entered the wrong movie. And they decided to split the third book in 2 movies. They never finished.

I also hated that about "Arrow". Who wants to watch a super hero series where more and more people get the same skills as the super hero?

and there was literally nothing to her personality, her only personality trait is being divergent. which is confusing, because being divergent means you think different, but she didn’t really show that?

@@lmn6023 I mean I love Spiderman Into the Spiderverse and would gladly watch more of it

@@kitchristopher7 I don't get what you mean because Tris was different in the sense that her brain was normal and complete enough for her to show all human traits, whereas the people who were not divergent had brains that only let them show specific traits rather than all of them. So Tris thought differently enough to complete all those tests they put her under in order to question which faction she should be in

Yes! This vid was honestly way more funny and relatable than I was expecting

saaaaame

Omg yess I had the best time!

During school every kid had one of these books stacked on their folders

Righttt!!?!? It was great

Y'all remember getting traumatized by the OG Battle Royale!

Yessss same!! It was so much fun :')

Absolutely nothing. I mean in the book he had a dimension but the movie Gale was so pathetic it made he katniss-peeta dynamic kinda bleak.

I found Peeta to be a simp. There were rare moments he was awesome, like the third movie, but I just found Katniss's love for him to be out of lack of options? &/ guilt of unfriending him? He was still a cool character tho

The problem (beyond love triangles being overused and rarely actually good fandom bait) is that there was a love triangle from a plot perspective, but not from a character perspective. So you end up with the characters awkwardly shoehorned into it. Which is particularly ironic, since in the books Katniss is basically forced against will to pretend that she's into Peeta to satisfy a bunch of shippers so that she can survive. The books mostly avoided the love triangle and actually commented on how shippers are kind of disturbingly obsessive, and how shipping applied to real life becomes extremely morally gross.

So it's a love line with a extra dot

Well, in the books, Katniss was an idiot about the two freaking fracking boys. So yes, there was a HUGE love triangle that drove me CRAZY when I read those books.

What was that from, a comic book? Antman I think?

@@heinoustentacles5719 Pulp fiction

this comment gave me Cancer

The Giver came out way before the other books, though. It wasn't really part of that trend.

So true! Great book and movie!

The fact that no one talks about The Giver or associates it with other movies in the genre cause it has no action or rebellion force of teenage underdogs annoys me to no end! It was a quieter and more humane approach to the genre that had so much more profound things to say and show when instead of epic battles against factions it was only Jonas, only one kid among a fully realized community of ignorant and obedient drones, who dared to step out of line when the Giver passed onto him the memories that no one else had about the old free world. It was so groundbreaking and deep and I think the movie portrayed it all perfectly!

THIS! Like how they recently adapted shadow and bone but i feel like movies would work better

Most YA novels are better as a show than a movie or franchise.

honestly tho esp with how tiktok is literally becoming tumblr, these ya trilogies would have a rebirth

YA just went from movies to tv

I don’t see it happening, but now it’s safe to say we’re in the era or Comics/Superhero movies

i never thought of it that way but youre absolutely right. she suddenly came out of the games and she was forced to get out of the status & "glamour" that the games gave her. she basically became haymitch with how he was depressed and cynical cause she was tired of fighting

that's why I couldn't stand people who kept complaining about Katniss crying a lot and being hospitalised often, like... Did they want her to be another perfect Mary Sue who has either zero reaction to what is happening in her life or deals with it for one scene and goes back to being graceful and strong? It's unrealistic and would completely ruin the story.

I also loved that in the book (kinda the movie too) that Katniss isn't a one woman show. She doesn't single handedly take down an entire government. There are a lot of people there doing stuff, she's just part of it.

Agreed

When I first read it I was like 13 and I didn’t really like Katniss at the end because I didn’t have the knowledge or experience to appreciate how her character developed.

This.

Yes!! It annoys me when ppl lump it in with divergent, maze runner, etc., when it is clearly in a league of its own.

@@bias2784 The Hunger Games wasn't bland, though, and it had something to say (unlike many of THG's derivatives). Of course it has a similar format to Battle Royale, but anyone who's actually read the books can tell you that a "bland copy" it is not. Whereas stories like Divergent seem to only ask "what if people, but different?" If you're going to use a trope, use it to say something.

In Catching Fire, in preparation for the Quarter Quell, when Katniss and Peeta watch the video tape of how Haymitch won his Quarter Quell, Katniss smirks as she realizes how very similar she and Haymitch are.

@@Hiyoyoful we do not talk about the prequel

I think it's because Hunger Games is really depressing which people did not want to watch during the pandemic

it’ll have its renaissance like Twilight is having now.. like he said, we need to give them time to breathe

be the change you want to see if we all start talking about hunger games it will get its renaissance

And then boomers ask why younger people are so liberal. Millennials grew up on Harry Potter which focused on injustice from book 3 on and then Gen Zs had Hunger Games which was just based af. Holes also radicalized me as a child, too 🥴

@@Alexis-wg5nx Meanwhile the radicalized activists are pushing society towards 1984/Brave New World dystopia by demanding more and more government action.

me reading Hunger Games and watching Matrix... wonder why am i such a nihilist now

@@jelkafabianova2801 If you were a guy then I could call you an incel lol.

@laura wdym i don't know a single person who wasn't into hunger games in real life and on the internet

Yeah

it’s a stylistic choice taken from the French New Wave

I gotta say it’s hilarious

I have to say it, but HG was an indie movie with bad editing and the fight scenes in the arena prove me right

@@starkingbiker of course. But some stylistic choices are awful. As an example, lens flare.

And the crossbow. Not to mention zombies were the main attraction until 2015 too…

Hollywood is always tryin to find a formula smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Probably a female

And then the video game industry got caught up with it a few years later.

@@castlewhite1577 Yes before that video games were obsessed with the jet packs.

😂😂

“He’s not Mario, or Mega Man, or even Michael Jackson. He’s just Milon.”

it gives me chills

If you’ve read the Snow prequel, the song feels even more powerful and iconic

@@3drws314 i can't imagine how snow felt was katniss was singing it again

@@somebodyangry3890 IKR :0

@@somebodyangry3890 Me too, definitely the best part of that movie

LITERALLY

Yeah Katnis' internal monologue was fascinating but seriously dark. I write a bit and honestly getting anywhere near a character like that's headspace would leave me depressed for weeks. MAJOR respect to Collins

@@salk9943 Do you mean that mockingjay was an emotionally difficult read or so badly written that you couldn’t even get through it? (I haven’t actually read mockingjay so idk)

@SalkNL Sorry, no. I’ve read it and it missed more marks than it hit. The Golds’ propaganda made little sense, no privileged elite would have their children go to a death school (especially their heirs), and there’s little reason for Gold society to focus on military when there’s no enemies to fight (even a mention of outside factions would’ve helped). The sexism was especially a problem that made it hard for me to get into the book (tip for writers: when you’re writing in a genre that is read mainly by women, don’t imply that the female characters who get raped deserve it because of the rapist’s tragic backstory). Red Rising had potential, but it all got squandered by bad world-building choices.

Omg yes! Like an anthology series that has like one episode which explores a main character as they become a tribute and then a part 2 episode when the hunger games start. Then just rinse and repeat

@@charliecope1144 no they would probably have a low budget and hire like bad kid actors that came from Disney or tiktok or something

@@charliecope1144 Yes Please! I'd watch that!

@@Ali-gn1lp lmao ur correct

Check out Christian Blanco on KZfaq, it’s not Netflix but it’s pretty much everything you described.

I was fine with the cinematography but I hated hated HATED the way they wrote song. It was supposed to be a lullaby but they "pop-ified" that made it sound like Adele so that they could remix it and get it onto the radio. It's like if you sang "London Bridge is Falling Down" with the inflection of Rolling in the Deep then made a dubstep remix of it, it all just seemed silly to me and completely killed the vibe for me.

I liked it too. Memorable moment for me from the movie.

That scene was sooooo good. I got chills watching it, I got chills seeing 1 second of it in this video and I even got chills reading ur comment. Amazing scene!

@@meethepie no, the hanging tree is a ballad. Lucy Gray wrote it as a folk/country song, it was never meant to be a song for children. You'd know it if you read the prequel.

I love that song. The way it just grows from a chilling lullaby to everyone storming the capitol is the best
