I never liked the Katniss and Peeta relationship. They had shared trauma, but their love never feels genuine on her part. In the books she immediately looks for Gale after returning to district 12 and finds that he left to another district and her first thought is that he could be with another woman and she’s jealous. She then, being alone and having no one, goes back to see Peeta and she comes to the conclusion that she needs Peeta and not Gale. Not very convincing. I’d say it’s realistic that she would settle in that way though

2023-05-18 15:18:53 +0000 UTCFor me, it was obvious Katniss loved Peeta I think it's deeper in a sense, because she needs him. He is the only one who could understand her.

2023-04-03 09:06:29 +0000 UTCHonestly, the love story aspects of this series were the least interesting to me. So I'm glad it really took more of a backseat in the movies. I liked the scene in Part 1 when Finnick tells Katniss that he knows she loves Peeta... but not necessary to define it. Katniss is drawn to Peeta because of shared trauma... and because Peeta is gentle, kind, hopeful. Just like Prim. I feel like that correlation is a huge part of it. But I find blaming Gale to be a ridiculous rushed crutch by the writer to just fully sever the 'triangle'. I mean, it's not like Gale made her sister & mom his priority... and saved their lives by getting them out of 12 before it was destroyed. Oh wait, he did. Otherwise they would have been dead already. And Beetee was in charge of all weapons making, but doesn't get the same exaggerated blame. Coin's the only one who should be blamed. But the biggest bummer for me though, after Prim and Finnick's deaths... is that this movie ignored a huge chunk of Johanna's storyline and friendship with Katniss (from the book).

2023-04-02 05:18:37 +0000 UTCYou two definitely should at least listen to the books when you get a chance because there's obviously so much more depth. I was team Peeta from the beginning. Gale just had too much anger and was too into war and that wasn't Katniss. He also could never truly understand her trauma. Gale knew that he had no shot with Katniss after Prim died. It was his idea to have the double bomb he just didn't realize that President Coin would use it on her own people. Obviously Katniss's grief is more drawn out in the books and the scene with Prim's cat always gets to me. I was surprised and grateful that we got such a great epilogue to the series. The casting for these movies was amazing. Jennifer Lawrence just embodied Katniss. Josh Hutcherson was great as Peeta as well. Woody Harrelson brought Haymitch to life and was exactly what I pictured. Lenny Kravitz was also exactly how I imagined him in the books. Caesar Flickerman is probably one of my favorites in the movies because I love Stanley Tucci. It truly was an All-Star cast.

2023-04-02 02:51:10 +0000 UTCI didn't like Gale either.

2023-04-02 01:15:18 +0000 UTCWe all knew Primrose was dead … that was just you guys who thought it was a dream. She disappeared in a giant ball of fire. Very dead. We know that time passed while Katniss recovered. She grieved. You said they treated Finnick’s death more sympathetically and you had time to grieve for him but that’s false. He died. They went on with the mission. The only thing that may have been confusing for people with a higher empathy score than I have is that the passage of time after Prim’s death made it seem like nobody grieved for her. You had to read that into what else was going on. Thanks for reacting to this series. Take some time to read or listen to the books. They’re excellent.

2023-04-01 12:53:57 +0000 UTC“Mutts” are “mutations”. Tracker jackers and jabberjays are mutts. As are the creatures that attack at the end of movie 1, the evil monkeys in movie 2. Tigress is Snow’s cousin and they grew up together. She did the alterations to her body herself. She was a stylist in the games and was going for uniqueness and kinda went overboard. In the book she’s more cat-like including long whiskers. The thing about the “love triangle” is that Katniss is 16-17 years old and is still trying to figure out how to deal with all the emotional turmoil that comes with that age. The books are told from her perspective so you get more of that confusion explained than is possible to do in the movie.

2023-04-01 11:58:14 +0000 UTCI want you guys to read/listen to the books, so I'm not going to say anything more on your take of the story. Except, yes, there is much more. Prim's death was a disapointment. She was Katniss's whole reason for everything she did, only to lose her at the end of it all. Heartbreaking. Also, another reason why I think that these movies were given such a bad rep was because it kinda came out the same time as (maybe a little after) the Twilight movies, and people were really iritated with the "love triangle" of it all, so they didn't give these movies a proper chance, at first. Thank you again for doing this series. It's one of my all-time favorites. And I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I do.

2023-04-01 05:44:47 +0000 UTCif Gale has 1 million haters, i'm one of them, if he has only one, it's me and if he has none, i'm dead. in all seriousness though, the books are great and i think they did the best to be expected with the film series. it was great fun watching it all through with you!

2023-04-01 05:05:55 +0000 UTCI love you guys but I don't understand why you kept saying that Katniss didn't have to choose between Peta and Gayle. Of course she has to choose. They aren't her brothers or friends. They are two people in love with her and she loves both but in different ways. One she grew up with and one she fell in love with during the games. Either way, if they all survived she would have to choose.

2023-04-01 04:53:34 +0000 UTCI wish I was a billionaire because I'd finance that movie myself if I could
Ekk
2023-04-01 02:20:24 +0000 UTCOnce you do watch it, I recommend the youtube video "Passengers, rearranged" by Nerdwriter1, its better than the actual movie imo and also just a really interesting video. Also Rob & Trin, no need to react to it (id love to watch you guys though lol) but I'd give it a watch too.

2023-03-31 23:44:15 +0000 UTCI am blown away that Rob recognized Braca from Farscape. That is one of my all time favorite shows and most people have never heard of it. What the frell!

2023-03-31 23:43:24 +0000 UTCThanks for posting that paragraph. "what I need is a dandelion in the spring" That's really beautiful.

2023-03-31 23:38:09 +0000 UTCI was so happy to see that Gale got told off by Katniss at the end. She knew after she talked to snow that it was technically gales fault that her sister died. He came up with the hummingbird trap to get the people onto the battlefield by bringing them in to help the injured and then release a 2nd bomb. Katniss yelled at him when he brought it up when he first suggested it and then to have it be the reason her sister died just verified everything she had told him when he didn't want to hear it from her. He knew she was right in that moment and didn't have anything to say in his defense. I couldn't stand to look at him either after that. I also am excited for the prequel. The woman Tigris in this movie who helped them in the costume shop in the Capitol is actually snows cousin and from what I have heard she and snow will be the main characters in the prequel when they were kids. So I don't think haymitch will be involved in the prequels unfortunately.
Angelina Sargent
2023-03-31 20:54:12 +0000 UTCYes to that!
Dude
2023-03-31 20:00:07 +0000 UTCWell, it was very pleasing to watch this franchise with you. And yes, if you find some time for books, it's most interesting one I've read till now.
Count Monte-Cristo
2023-03-31 19:59:38 +0000 UTCI find it weird that people feel bad for Gale. I get it though but he literally said he did not care if people from the capitol had to die and he knew about the bombs, he only felt bad because Prim died, those crocodile tears do not fool me.

2023-03-31 18:57:45 +0000 UTCI love your reactions! Honestly, I think it´s pretty obvious at this point that Katniss loves Peeta, especially after the previous movie and I think when she kissed him after his breakdown, she totally meant it. There is a small paragraph in the books that resumes Katniss, Peeta and Gale´s love triangle if you want to read it: “Peeta and I grow back together. There are still moments when he clutches the back of a chair and hangs on until the flashbacks are over. I wake screaming from nightmares of mutts and lost children. But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?” I tell him, “Real.””

2023-03-31 18:26:52 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. Love this series. Jennifer Lawrence, as an actress, is a force to be reckoned with. If you want to see more of her, she won the Oscar for best actress in Silver Linings Playbook, and was great in American Hustle, even X-Men. Passengers, though, is more the “teenage drama” you mentioned. But that’s just my opinion.

2023-03-31 16:41:40 +0000 UTCI would love to see a prequel that shows how Haymitch won his hunger games
Raphael Lyons
2023-03-31 16:03:05 +0000 UTCNever seen Passenger, but I'll be watching it this weekend in prep for your reactions. I read the prequel book, and it's very interesting. Can't wait for the movie. The Hunger Game books are actually three. Mockingjay was broken into two movies; yes, because of $$$, but also, there is so much going on, I'm glad they did. Katniss has been telling Gail all along that she is not in a position, with everything going on, to have any real feelings for him, but he keeps making her feel guilty about not feeling the feelings he wants her to feel. I knew she would end up with Peeta in the end, because Peeta had all the trauma to share with her, and he backed off since the before the Quarter Quell games. I need to stop watching 1/2 way thru this, because I need to get ready for work, but I'll be back for the second half later.

2023-03-31 14:46:26 +0000 UTCThe books are great, the one thing I think the movies actually did better was snow's character they added a lot of dialog and scenes that really benefited the movie
Amanda Logsdon
2023-03-31 12:40:37 +0000 UTCYeah we get she died, just shocked when it happened. She was training to be a doctor but from experience I know that field medics are also trained as soldiers, she should of been in a field hospital in a safe zone. It was all set up anyway by Coin so it explains a lot. Horrible to see her go out like that

2023-03-31 12:23:37 +0000 UTCShe became a medic that's why she was there, and a bomb dropped on her head so..... yeah she died
Michael
2023-03-31 12:17:12 +0000 UTCMy take on Prim: she was being trained as a doctor, so it makes sense she would be on a medic team. Coin decided to utilize Gale’s “hummingbird trap” knowing Prim would be there and likely be killed. By making it look like the capitol carried it out, she would focus Katniss’s hatred on Snow even more. Her arrogance wouldn’t let her think that Katniss would be smart enough to find the truth and redirect that hate to her. Just my thoughts. Enjoyed your reaction, as usual.
Melissa Avery
2023-03-31 11:24:15 +0000 UTCwas not surprised about the bombs killing people, we said we were surprised that we had medics on the ground before they 100% took the capitol. Prim is still kind of a bit young to send in so early 😔
Take a Ticket
2023-03-31 10:40:29 +0000 UTCI mean it was pretty obvious you would die from bombs falling directly on top of you, also remember that she became a medic and when the first bombs went off we saw medics rushing towards there, and we did see Katniss be emotional about her with the cat, I think Katniss was just numb at that moment since it happened so fast, and only when she saw the cat it reminded her of the reality of it, was great rewatching this awesome series with you guys and hope to see the prequels release soon.

2023-03-31 10:37:21 +0000 UTCYou really should either read the books or listen to them. The girl reading the audio books was really good at capturing Katniss. There are three books. The third one was split into two movies.
Melissa Williams
2023-03-31 09:14:14 +0000 UTCI hope you continue Pirates of the Caribbean soon, as both franchises are are really good.
