Die-hard Twilight fans would disagree, but this meme points out the debate hilariously. Still, this crossover meme is a favorite. No matter what fandom people prefer, though, they can probably agree that Katniss is the superior heroine.

Home Lists 10 Hilarious Twilight Vs. By Meah Peers Published Feb 18, I've never read the books but the whole concept seems interesting enough. Plus both Lawrence and Josh Hutchinson are from my state of Kentucky so I have to dedicate support them. As for the comment that HG is the most overhyped movie of the decade, I gotta say that that is way off since that honor belongs solely to The Social Network.
Mike, Google "racebending" and educate yourself. Jennifer Lawrence may be a good actress, I'm not denying that, but she does not fit the description of Katniss given in the books. End of story. It cracks me up how offended people get at the comparison to Twilight.. Get over it. I'm a soldier in the United States Army. I went to Iraq.
So, how does forcing a bunch of kids to kill each other relate? All-volunteer Army. I'm also probably more educated than most of It cracks me up how offended people get at the comparison to Twilight.. I'm also probably more educated than most of you with my Master's, sorry if that ruins one of the most common attacks you'll have towards me for joining the military.
The books are about a totalitarian government who forces the citizens to participate in the games to terrorize and remind the people who is really in charge. The books also rip on how when a society degenerates it seeks more and more intense excitement, even to the point where people in this case young kids and teenagers are getting killed for entertainment purposes. There are also parallels to the 'Panem et Circenses' sorry if I misspelled that of Roman society.
You people should stop worring about who the actors are or what kind of political crap it's about just focus on how the movie is and if it's any good compared to the book. I don't know about this whole Hunger Games thing. Twilight as retarded as it was didn't go into all the political crap that this tries to do. Kids killing kids in a hunt to the death is supposed to be somehow kool?
It's sad that this is what has to pass as a blockbuster franchise nowadays. If you want to see kids dying, go to Darfur or part of Africa, or maybe the gangs in Brazil where teens carry guns and shoot to kill other kids. Yeh, let's make Hollywood some money. The whole series is like a parody of real life. We're sending kids out into the world to kill each other and the government is getting their kicks that way. Entertainment can educate as well as entertain and if The Hunger Games teaches just one child that violence isn't the answer, that war is bloody and needless, then I'd say that is a movie worthy of making money.
First of all, the whole point of the series was not that kids killing each other was cool. The Hunger Games was a book series before it was a movie. If you want to 'blame' someone, don't be blaming Hollywood. The books are centered around the fact that the Games are cruel, and I'd say you haven't read them from the way you're talking. The rebellion to overthrow the Capitol, which Katniss unwillingly becomes the Mockingjay, their symbol, in. Colllins was not trying to be 'cool' when she wrote this.
She was stating a fact, regardless of how she did it. The United States, heck everyone, sends men, boys really, barely nineteen or twenty, and throws them into wars like Iraq and Afganistan. It supposed to say that war is cruel and that you lose people.
It's supposed to teach kids that violence isn't the answer, that it only makes things worse. Especially keeping your people trodden down by selecting 2 kids randomly to fight to the death and making everyone watch. It was their way of saying they had complete authority over the Disticts, that they ruled them completely.
You do not seem to get that, so please stop making ignorant comments on a board that is talking about how this isn't going to be another Twilgiht which I'm incredibly grateful for. Twilight by itself is horribly bad anyway without comparing phenomenally better series to it.
Go back and read the Hunger Games trilogy, then read Julius Caesar and see the similarities. While I cannot deny that there is definitely a Battle Royale kind of theme going on with the books, this kind of theme has actually been around for a while.
And don't forget the gladiator games of ancient Rome, which is where all 'fight to the death with an audience' stories originate from anyway. One of the main differences is that in BR, most of the kids don't seem to really like or care about one another enough to have a problem with going right to the slaughter — even though they had all been classmates.
In HG, there are many kind and sensitive kids who struggle with killing people because they spent time practicing and observing one another in the training classes after the 'selections' in their different districts. Personally, I couldn't stomach BR because of that difference. Look it up. I don't like any of the three lead actors, so I won't be seeing the movie version. I still wish they would have cast a non-white actress for Katniss. I always had a mixed-race girl in mind for the role.
Katniss is from the Appalachian area, which I always thought was mostly white, even if she's not fair in the books. I think she'll rock it. She's a good actress. The books mention several times how people from the part of the district where Katniss lives, 'the Seam,' usually have an olive complexion and dark hair and eyes.
That's how she could claim Gale was her cousin and people believed her. An olive complexion is generally associated with people of European descent. It says she has Olive skin and grey eyes. That is usually European. So no she should NOT be mixed. Prim is mixed and Cinna are mixed, not Katniss and Gale. I think she will rock it. I had my doubts at first no doubt but I'm confident in her,.
I love Jennifer Lawrence. She's a really good actor with a lot of potential to grow and this role will only sky rocket her career. You should see Winter's Bone, you'll change your mind about her playing Katniss. I'm only annoyed because the two main male leads are being played by Miley Cyrus's boyfriend and that Jounery to the Earth kid. They look nothing like what the book described. Clearly you haven't read a single chapter of any of the HUNGER books or you wouldn't have made such a ridiculous, uninformed comment.
