Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 While we're talking about the male leads, I'm here to say that Gale is the most pointless character ever. And that he added nothing to this film (well, he has one good scene, so he added almost nothing). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Peeta's an awful character and Liam's an awful character Katniss in Mockingjay is an awful character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 like how the hunger games franchise isn't taken seriously because it's a "dumb ya series for annoying teen girls" Its not be taken seriously since it hasn't deserved an Oscar nomination yet. I can't think of a category where it should have been nominated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Peeta IS a damsel in distress, Katniss is constantly saving his ass and whether you like it or not, it breaks a habbit of thousands of books, films, poems, essays, songs that told the same story where the damsel in distress is female, as it has always been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true and it's pretty neat but the problem is that Peeta suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Is he more pointless than... Dr Mann Yes. At least Nolan tried to use Dr. Mann to further a philosophical point. Gale wastes time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemunster Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Is he more pointless than... Dr Mann Nolan was so subtle with that name. Almost as subtle as Avatar's unobtainium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Katniss in Mockingjay is an awful character. I'm not a fan of MJ1, but your comment about how Katniss was totally dependent on two guys was so wrong. I'm not sure where you got that from.

Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I once had a science teacher try to convince me that unobtainium was actually a brilliant move by the director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I agree on Gale though, the books and movies would have been better without him. Pseudo love triangles are annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Peeta IS a damsel in distress, Katniss is constantly saving his ass and whether you like it or not, it breaks a habbit of thousands of books, films, poems, essays, songs that told the same story where the damsel in distress is female, as it has always been. The problem is two-fold: firstly, he's completely uninteresting, secondly, the stories keep insisting that there's some sort of deep passionate connection between them, when there isn't. Why bother with the love triangle to begin with? Why should Katniss even be burdened with either of them? Why does she have to choose between a glorified extra or a talking 2x4? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuardiaStar Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 People who've seen the movie what did you think about the ending? I thought Hutcherson was good as hijacked Peeta made it believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add on to this, you could keep all of the good stuff about their relationship (like the fact that they're the only two people who know what this experience is like or that they're the faces of the revolution) in the film if you just kept them as friends, while dropping all of the pointless love stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
