Listen, Listen. A Few Things:

listen, listen. A few things:

Jennifer Lawrence did an outstanding job portraying Katniss in the movies. I cannot really imagine any other actress in her place.

THAT BEING SAID

it pisses me off that people conveniently forget that Katniss is a colored girl.

That's right, folks!

People from the Seam are described as dark skinned, with grey eyes. Katniss is personally described to have 'olive skin' in the books. I know that there's not much compensation that could have been done in the casting, since Jenn was such a perfect choice- but at least depict her as colored in fanart. Same as Haymitch. Haymitch is also from the Seam.

I also find it so beautiful that Suzanne Collins had a teenage colored girl to be the one to dismantle an oppressive and tyrannical government, acting as a huge symbol of rebillion.

And keep in mind, while the series is marketed as a 'dystopia' it has an alarming number of similarities to the current real-world.

what makes Snow such a formidable villain within THG universe is that nothing he does was set in stone. there was no sense of inevitability about his actions and his brutality. Snow had enough perspective of poverty, capital cruelty, district hunger and not to mention his own arena experience’ and yet he actively chose at every moment to stray from natural goodness. its even more terrifying in the sense that he had the ability to care. Snow is not a mindless sociopath, he displays feelings to others such as sejanus, lucy grey and tigris but ultimately he will always choose himself. his ability to betray those he cared about in order yo advance himself makes him so much more than the stereotypical villain who is forced into his actions.

Okay, small detail regarding THG series epilogue, regarding Katniss and Peeta's family:

So if we were to take the timeline of Katniss and Peeta's parents, Katniss's Mom was 16/17 during the 50th Hunger Games and Katniss was born (74-16 = 58) during the year of the 58th Hunger Games, making her mom's age about 24/25. On the other hand, Peeta's parents had 2 kids before him (one is maybe 19 and the other 17/18) so they would've been approximately 22/23. If we were to take a book detail, Madge Undersee, her Mom whose aunt died at the 50th Hunger Games was maybe the same age as Katniss's Mom and had Madge at 24/25.

But for Katniss and Peeta, it took 15 years to have kids, making them 32/33.

So I can't help but wonder- why on earth is everybody complaining about Katniss and Peeta having a very "conventional happy ending" when unlike their parents who had children much younger than they were, they can have children without the fear of them ever participating in The Hunger Games and yet have taken so long to consider having children.

Trauma is real, people. And that is seen in the fact that Madge's Mom has trauma of headaches from possibly losing her twin and something else, but Katniss having faced more trauma (2 Hunger Games and a War where she too lost her sister), took her time to have children in a world that was supposedly safe. Another thing is Katniss feeling her daughter move within her which was absolutely terrifying, but having her gave her joy, because in some way, she reclaimed the caretaker that she became when Prim was born.

So technically, the epilogue shows how grief can coexist with love and how Katniss may never fully recover from the pain she has endured from losing her loved ones and the fear of having the world where her children safe and happy downslide into war again (much like our current times) will always taint her happy moments, but to live life well because others have made that happen at a personal cost is important.

What are people's thoughts on the epilogue?

what if they filmed tbosas the way fleabag is filmed so that the audience got to see snow's inner monologue, so every so often tom blyth would turn to the camera and just talk.
