okay i think we need to start writing lists of hunger games theories/opinions we hold in disdain.
we do . . . here are some of mine:
gale killed prim
effie went through a spectacular character arc and came out to be a good person in the end
katniss supported coin's idea to hold one last symbolic hunger games
peeta is boring (boy is manipulative as shit hello)
finnick shouldn't have died, it should've been gale instead
the reapings were rigged to pick prim in the first book
coin is lucy gray
coin is worse than snow. also snow is worse than coin
snow truly, genuinely loved lucy gray
snow truly, genuinely cared about sejanus
gale is genuinely, truly an evil bad person
katniss should've ended up with gale
people unabashedly hating on the careers/cheering at their deaths/saying they deserved it
katniss's mother deserved more anger from katniss for the way she checked out
when people say they want to see more of the games/hope the next book has a sizable portion dedicated to it
when people make sotr about haymitch ships
when people unironically ship snowbaird or whatever-snow-and-sejuanus-is as a non-toxic, happy, loving couple and make romantic tiktoks about them
when people make any of the books about mainly the romance (they're about how romance/marketing is used to cover the less digestible aspects of the horrors of war hello)
when people say flickerman in tbosas was super funny comedic relief???? his literal point in that movie was to show how making sick, twisted jokes about children dying was used to water down the fact that, you know, children are dying. you're supposed to be sick to your stomach because he could casually banter and dumb down the severity of the hunger games, not laugh with him. if you laughed at even a single one of his jokes . . . like hello
the berries started the rebellion . . .
snow wasn't genuinely convinced by katniss's in-love-with-peeta act
when people thirst over snow because tom blyth is hot get me out of here
snow was a genius for the third quarter quell (that was an objectively stupid move on his part and not at all smart)
katniss never wanted kids and the ending was out of character for her (i'm all for criticizing writers that make (usually female) characters who explicitly don't want to have kids have kids anyway, but uh. katniss is not that character)
snow is smart in general. he is not smart, he's just opportunistic
gale didn't deserve katniss because peeta had bread and he didn't (do not take this the wrong way people; i'm saying this is a stupid anti gale argument, not that i ship katniss and gale)
pretty much anything the movies pushed or changed (*cough* hayffie *cough*)
the hunger games isn't a tragedy
