to be fair, the hunger games movies didn’t understand the message of the hunger games

Suzanne wrote a magnus opus on anti-war messages, propaganda, capitalism, post colonialism yet marketing said, “love triangle”🥲🥲

Ezra :
Agree! I also see as tho she was commenting on how we as society tends to divide itself (like how the districts have “personalities”), so it makes 1/

what's still wild is how Hunger Games was marketed as YA when it definitely is not or shouldnt be considered YA.

Tree Lord :
and it goes into how the "good guys" can be corrupt and how they almost created a similar system bc that was so deeply engrained

And and and!! Hunger games ends with not the chosen one saving the day, but collective action!!

Austen N. Lanithan :
Hunger Games said “what if The Lottery had teeth” and the rest said “what if *I* was the protagonist of The Lottery this whole time”

if you like the social commentary of the hunger games check out Susans other series the underland chronicles it has some very interesting takes on war

The other thing is Suzanne Collins worked in children's entertainment, including 90's Nickelodeon and sometimes casting. She had the experience to 1/2

I think a huge contributor to the missing of the point in these dystopian ya books was how the divergent series boiled it down to such a basic formula

Lee :
The hunger games actually talked about exploitation and how the capitol aren’t inherently bad but they are also apart of the games

that's why I have such beef with the movies "are you team peta or gale?" I am now team radicalization, to fight a corrupt government

I think a really important aspect that gets boiled down in the other books is katniss AT NO POINT wants to be the savior from start to finish her

The 21 Sided Die 🇵🇸 :
Side tangent, but I think it would be kinda funny to find out if the rest of the world in Hinger Games was normal & America was just being wack lol

don't forget in BoSaS, for the first few Games, the tributes were delivered on a cattle train and kept in a Capital zoo

It’s so wild to return to the hunger games as someone who was so immersed in the teen dystopia thing at the time and be like “oh…this is VERY good.”

Amber :
I love how the books even show Katniss sympathing with her styling team. That the problem was systematic and she didn’t hate individuals

Lenny :
Also, one thing Suzanne gets more into with the prequel is how like the districts don’t matter at all…

can you go more into detail on the self actualization power fantasy books and what the biggest red flags related to them are?

Alice :
The hunger games also looked so deeply into truama and how it changes a person but other dystopians forgot about that

I had a whole American Studies course in undergrad where the premise of the class was using the HG as a “map and mirror” of the 21st century America.
