the fact that the blood bath was used to the movies to make it more entertaining is very on the nose

I think it's ironic that they changed the start of the games for the movie to be more entertaining

I think the 10th game starting with the tribute running away is very meaningful because it shows that they were originally just scared teenagers

I wish they hadn’t changed it. I think it would of been more meaningful if they all just stood around for a moment, hesitant, unsure of what to do before either retrieving weapons but with the majority running to hide

changing the version that we saw in the movie to a bloodbath to make it more entertaining to viewers is so eerily in the spirit of the Hunger Games, it reminds me (SOTR SPOILER) of the end of haymitch’s victory tour when he had to watch the version of the games that they aired for the capitol and it was all edited and rearranged to be more entertaining, and hide his rebellion. love that

I think a book accurate start could have been meaningfully sombre but I imagine it was amped up because it had been a decade since the og trilogy, a bit of a dissapointing return if it goes like the book yk

I think in the book, the slow beginning is more meaningful. they changed it in the movie for the same reason the capital hated it in the book. entertainment. I think changing it comments on us as a society and where we have fallen, might even be something Suzanne Collins did on purpose. I also think its why the merch lines and advertisement lines since the beginning makes a certain commentary. we're the capital.

I think they should’ve have kept it slow and shown Snows and the capitals boredom and frustration. I think the ‘less entertaining’ game is also commentary for the viewer that not all games were like the ones we’ve already seen so far

I wish they had kept it the same as the book to show the kids didn’t want to fight

It would’ve been fascinating for them to show the genuine terror of the moment without the bloodbath. Some creepy music and chaotic camera work would’ve been fantastic

Tbh I don’t like the way they did the ending of the games in the film

i think it would’ve been more meaningful if it had been book accurate because to me it just shows how disheveled and unorganized these games felt compared to the tedious minute details that are painstakingly put into the 74th & 75th, and if the 50th are portrayed as book accurate as possible time permitting it would have been interesting to be able to see the progression of violence & complexity within the games as the years go on if that makes sense

The movie of BOSAS is completely misses the point of the book.

I think it would have set a tone for how much Snow changed the games through propaganda. These tributes were acutely aware of their own mortality where as later tributes had been sold the HOPE of infamy

I think the book version is so much better. I also don’t think it would’ve been boring. I wish they adapted this part correctly.

I do think just in general ballad of song birds and snakes doesn't translate to well into a film both the games not being the type of show we see in the 75th and with us losing snows internal monologue his actions at the end of the film feel very out of character

I would’ve liked the book version, it would’ve had me sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for something to happen in a good way, but I still liked the movie version

I think it also says a lot about snow that he assume reaper had begun to hunt immediately. If I recall, despite apologising to everyone for their deaths, he doesn’t actually kill anyone. We can’t 100% sure he went off to hunt, mightve just gone to set up camp

it would have been more meaningful if they skipped the bloodbath like in the book. its not like they have to spend long on it just to show the events after. literally show them scatter, give a few empty arena shots, then time skip to the important bits. or add in a scene of the gamerunners venting about how uneventful it is so far. but whatevs. gotta hollywood glam the death games i guess.

I think if they truly committed, they could've shown very well what was actually the point - by the 10th, the games /were/ dull and not entertaining to the point there were discussions to cancel it or at least not air them. it was snows sociopathy that made them what they were and it wouldve been a great plot line to explore in the movies
