wait, re your latest answer, what’s the deal with the hunger games? i tried looking through your tags but im on mobile and nothing showed up, so i hope im not bothering you x

It’s no bother at all! I don’t have any huge beef with THG. I actually like the trilogy a lot. In my last answer I was just referring to the fact that in general a lot of people think it’s overrated and a lot of others think it’s the best thing that happened to YA dystopia. The biggest controversies around it were probably the blatant Battle Royale similarities it possesses, plus the love triangle. A lot of people think it was really forced, and I can see that.

It rubs me the wrong way how Gale kinda expected Katniss to drop Peeta and run away with him while she was trying to survive Snow’s machinations and a civil war. I’ve read articles on how Peeta was a Nice Guy^TM but it’s been too long for me to say whether I agree or not. I just really love that for once the non-toxically masculine love interest ended up with the girl, and Everlark work well as foils.

TBH I have way more of an issue with the films. I enjoyed them and thought they were pretty faithful to the books compared to other YA adaptational disasters, but some big things and a lot of little things added up. They whitewashed literally all of District 12, took away Peeta’s disability, and overall contradicted the themes of the books with the casting, costumes/makeup, and marketing. “Olive skin” is used to describe Katniss and a lot of D12 people in the books, which can arguably be interpreted as POC or white. But a lot of fans identified with Katniss as a WOC before the movies, myself included, and the producers squandered an opportunity to represent a WOC in one of the biggest woman-targeted franchises of the past decade. Plus J/Law is a whole mess, just look up her anti tag and I’m sure you’ll find all the tea there. They took out Peeta’s disability (his leg was amputated and replaced with a synthetic in the book) for NO REASON even though they had plenty of screen time to add his struggles from the books because they squeezed 2 movies out of the Mockingjay plot. They also really downplayed the voyeuristic and exploitative nature of the Capitol, when that was one of the most disturbing parts of the books. They unnecessarily edited the lyrics to the Hanging Tree (necklace of rope -> necklace of hope). They downplayed Haymitch’s alcoholism…. I could go on.

Hope that answers your question!
