#also will not be addressing (right away anyway) the horrific and uncanny similarities to everything going on rn

like i can’t stop thinking about mockingjay’s ending and i’m curious to see how they translated it to the big screen but my friend and i were talking and as incomplete as it maybe feels i wouldn’t want an unrealistic happy ending. because realistically, this is the happiest either of them is ever gonna get. the tragedy and trauma BOTH katniss and peeta had to endure is incomprehensible and at only 17. what other ending COULD there have been? as many loose ends as you wish were tied up, the reality is this is the best that you’re gonna get. the best to expect because wars aren’t perfect stories and loose ends are never fully tied and i think how coldly it ended (sort of) fully captures some of the key themes and message suzanne wanted to hammer into her audience. this was never a happy story, just a necessary one in a way.
