[LetMeExplain]

What’s the best franchise to make an LME video on?

Full Hunger Games recap coming soon

[triniskittles_]

one thing to add, Lucy Gray WROTE the hanging tree, not just sang it. makes it that much more a slap in the face for snow that Katniss uses it in the revolution.

[Liette]

Lucy wasnt mad that he killed three, she was mad cause she said several times that its all about trust for her. Snow lied to her face, THATS what is the issue

[amandamoore]

It’s almost like Snow saw how love/teamwork can be powerful and dangerous so he immediately refuses to allow it anywhere

[NotASnaccImAMel]

My friend explained it that, Lucy Gray's fate is up in the air because Snow doesn't deserve that closure. He will end up wondering if she survived for years afterward, both loving and hating her, both regretting trying to kill her because he loves her, and because if she comes back, it might be his downfall.

[pigpjs]

I appreciate Suzanne Collins going bold and doing a Snow origin story. She could have flushed out Haymitch's hunger games and made even more money

[trinaq]

Despite knowing that the protagonist eventually becomes the main antagonist, we're still inclined to root for him because...He was good looking? Tom will certainly become a heartthrob afterwards.

[greenricky]

The soundtrack was heavenly imo and helped make it a good movie

[mzmendy]

I also felt like the last pages of the book were a bit rushed. But at the same it's fitting with the series. You're in HIS mind, of you're only taking the books into account. We have NO IDEA what happened to Lucy Gray Baird.

[frenchtoastmafia]

I think not having Snows inner thoughts confused a lot of people, including myself. His motivations were so confusing and it almost seems like he had split personality disorder until he goes all in for evil at the end

[defiantaichi]

I loved this movie. I thought snow gave unhinged vibes from scene 1. Sure hes hot. but thats the thing isn't it. Real villains arent always crony old or ugly people. They are charismatic. Thats what makes them so scary. That scene in the forest. Even Lucy confronting him. Chills. How else would snow have risen to president.

[trippiemikee_]

“Snow always lands on top” 🥶🥶thats a fire saying for someone whos name is snow

[krotemitschild]

18:00 it is not about the amount of people he killed, it is about the fact that he never mentioned the third person. And when she asked about it, he told her an obvious lie, which convinced her that he was not a trustworthy person.
And as she explained before: trust is the most important thing to her.

[cirrusB]

The thing is, that cabin in the end was mentioned a lot in the Hunger Games novels. That lake was a place where Katniss and Gale hunted. That cabin was where Katniss found two District 8 refugees, who told her about the rebellion. Everything about the Covey kind of lived on in Katniss through her parents. There's a fandom-wide theory that Lucy Gray (or her cousin Maude Ivory) is Katniss’ grandmother.
And I think there’s something to it.

[buttercup]

Snow got the money and power, but he was a slave to it. Lucy got no money and no power, but she was truly free. The Capitol, calls that kind of thought "extreme" .

Seem to me that the true Snake in the story is the Mad Scientist Professor from the Elite University, she seems to be the one who poisoned Snow's mind and sowed the seed of the man he will become. Had Snow's relationship with Lucy worked out better, he would have been a kinder and gentler man. Unfortunately, his crazy mentor Professor Lady hates humanity and only sees it as evil and corrupt. Whereas, his heart belonged to the songbird, representing the good in him, but too bad she flew away.

[shayt]

Lucy was alleged to be Katniss’s aunt as Maude could maybe be the great grandmother. But I’d prefer it if they weren’t related at all.

[benjaminacuna]

Clemmensia was actually more sympathetic in the novel which makes this change awful; in the novel she’s so shocked with arachnes death she’s unable and unwilling to finish the assignment and Snow in a twisted act of sympathy puts her name on the assignment too much to her chagrin.

[DeeDeeDeeeee]

I thought it was actually a really good origin story, flaws aside it’s definitely worth the watch.
My ranking would go:
1. Catching Fire
2. Hunger Games/Ballad
3. Mockingjay 2
4. Mockingjay 1

[st.aelphaba]

this movie was actually a good adaptation of the book! of course they left things out but it still authentic to the og trilogy

[EmperorPiplup]

I don't even think Rachel's case deserves the "separate the art from the artist" treatment considering she hardly did anything for the kind of hate she's getting. People blame the changes of snow white on her and her remarks too, but like the studio is who wanted to "girlbossify snow white". If anything her comments were just a reflection of how the studio felt regarding the original snow white being outdated and needing a modern update. Similar comments have been made by past live action princess actresses the only people to blame really is the billion dollar corporation lol
