kitik Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I won't say who since they "kindly" informed me in a pm. I was just trying to not broadcast publicly that you hadn't seen The Empire Strikes Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Water Bottle Posted November 22, 2014 Community Manager Share Posted November 22, 2014 The love triangle in the Hunger Games is a big joke because the relationship with Peeta is the only one of narrative significance. You can easily remove Gale from the story. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemunster Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 every other superhero movie is hailed as revolutionary lol ...By their very own fanboys, right?....just like Hunger Games might be seen as revolutionary by its own fans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily remove Gale from the story. I see what you mean. But they are both important to Katniss. Gale protected her family while she was away. She's also known him all her life. Both their fathers died in a mining accident, and she always hunted with him in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all of that was taken away the story wouldn't have been effect that much. At least I don't think it would have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet he's really forgettable. I know J-Law plays Katniss. I know Josh Hutcherson plays Peeta. I have no idea who plays Gale. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 SH films are tough because their fans often get stereotyped as young brainless teenagers as well, except it's young, brainless boys. Regardless, I have to agree with water that at least some of the backlash to these films are sexist. That doesn't make the negative reviews wrong or the films masterpieces, but it's just the case.

Yeah, he doesn't standout at all. It's kinda shocking since Chris is such a charismatic actor. I guess that doesn't run in the family.

Apparently they have a third brother that isn't an actor. My guess is he would have more life in him than Baby-Thor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Damn those estimates. I was counting on MJ1 hitting 57 at least. Now it really could be a race between it and GOTG. Edited November 22, 2014 by MovieMan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardiaStar Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) For the record though there isn't a love triangle! Not like the overblown one in Twilight..Katniss is connected to both Peeta and Gale, but like water said they don't make a big thing out of it at all.

She has the entire I'm going to lose both of them scene at the end of this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
