I'd like that too but we would already know he survived. And I'm pretty sure I remember hearing it in the book that he hid at the edge for majority of the game and the game took place in a sahara with no water... Seems pretty boring... But I'd love to see Snow's face at the mention of another Tribute 12 Winner
Suzanne Collins really dropped a series that shaped a whole generation, disappeared, and appears again with another hit. This woman is like the equivalent of Adele.
"The things we love most." What do people love most? Why, their lover. That person who just steals their heart. And, if you read the book, Lucy Gray very nearly destroyed Coriolanus. @@ronron3916
@@ronron3916well the reason he didn’t like what he felt for Lucy gray was because he thought it made him weak the fact she had some control of him in that way and he wanted to be able to control everything so he turned into this soulless villain that viewed love as a liability
As a fan of the book, i approve of this trailer. They have already captured the tone and design of the book perfectly, now let’s see if they can capture the story and characters.
This movie series looks like it's purely made for the fans who grew up with the franchise since the beginning. I'm so excited for this. Edit: finally 3.9k likes.thanks y'all ❤
The book, while the end was rushed and it was a bit messy pacing wise, was still so good because of the concepts and character arcs it introduced. I’m SO excited for this film though. I’m not a fan of the casting though. I think the only solid casting is Viola Davis, but other than that, I’m not really a fan of the casting so far.
This book was ACTUALLY a decent prequel and a decent villian backstory. Truly proves protagonist doesn’t mean good guy, just main character. Excited to see this on the big screen.
@@etoileshine1011 Likewise, the antagonist doesn't necessarily mean bad guy. Just someone who presents opposition. Sometimes people confuse the literary term with the colloquial use of both.
Yeah there’s a lot in this movie I didn’t imagine like how her dress is or the school uniform but I still love it and the casting for Dr Gaul is perfect
@@BrandonLandrum Agreed! Honestly, Dr Gaul's vibe is much different than I imagined. I thought it would be more Joker-like than seriously twisted and evil. But it fits the adaptation much more this way.
And when he said that it was morphin time, and Donald Sutherland transformed into a 40 meter tall megazoid..... just chills CHILLS. I am crying right now, and an ambulance is on the way to take me into intensive care.
Snow always lands on top No but hearing Dean Highbotton say, “That’s the sound of Snow falling.” I legit JUST finished the book and seeing the bit with Corio shooting at the trees hits different right now😭
Just finished the book (literally two minutes ago) so ofc I had to run to this trailer. I'm very excited but a little worried, just because of how vital Snow's inner monologe is in the book. It's crazy how often I found myself root for him and then snap out of it, at least until the last third of the book. But even then, some of his interactions were still morally "good". Crazy good writing tbh. everyone's a good guy in their own mind and Collins captured that mental divide between Snow's actions and his thought patterns perfectly. So i hope they find a way to accurately portray this in the movie!
Same! Didn’t get to the ending yet, but almost. I keep switching between thoughts like: “he totally lacks of empathy” to “his environment shaped him and makes him think certain things” to back to the lack of empathy. Conclusion? I feel it’s a combo of the two, but he definitely drives on power and obsessions without feeling bad at all for other people. If he does feel bad… it’s only cuz it hurts him somehow as well. The way collins portrayed that is amazing. People are complex and she portrayed that perfectly
Same!! Just finished the book couple minutes age, just started researching for the reviews and info about the movie adaption, then I find this!!! The trailer!! I don't feel that the actors are the good fit for those characters before I finish the trailer. But now I feel sooooo excited when I see the performance and hear the lines which reminds me every up and downs in the book. Totally agree with "everyone's a good guy in their own mind".
@@omehbossa im so excited!!! I hope they do the book justice. And yeah i think one thing Collins just does outstandingly is show the way a young, yet already corrupted mind works. I found myself rooting for Snow at times not because what he was doing was morally or ethically correct, but because HE thought so. Genius writing that takes your head for a spin.
Absolutely agree, finished my re-read last night and I can't believe it had me UNDERSTANDING why Snow thought the way he did. Plus, I loved the ending in the sense of it sort of solidified the change in him, showed which side of his mental battle he chose. It was phenomenal writing but this trailer looks AMAZING and it seems from what I've looked at, they've stuck to the plot somewhat, especially that scene of him wildly shooting at the trees, right down to the buzzcut he gets in part 3 of the book. I am VERY excited!
This film certainly was one for the fans. Giving us an amazing backstory to Snow, all the while providing an entertaining and exhilarating atmosphere, and the ‘anti-Katniss’, Lucy Grey. What a beautifully made film. I enjoyed every minute. 🔥
I just finished the book a couple days ago, and I think it’s remarkable how every single frame of this trailer can be matched almost exactly to a moment from the book. Every image and almost every word of dialogue I could find in the book.
That's what I love about the Hunger Games movies. They stay very true to the books. Especially in the first movie of course they had to shorten it but they only changed little things. They had Haymitch and Cinna explain things to Katniss that in the book she already knew, immediately getting rid of the District 4 girl because she's not really a character in the book either, having District 4 not be a career district, and having Thresh killed by mutts.
I LOVE the little detail that Lucy gray was the one to create the hanging tree song that Katniss sings. Just another dagger in Snow's heart so many years after.
@@sofiamirandadd grandmother? probably not. my guess would be that katniss is related to one of the other covey members?? id say it’s nearly impossible that lucy lived on to have kids.
@@persypearI think it's quite possible. We don't know anything about Katniss Father or who he was related too, or why he sung The Hanging Tree around his daughter. I think it's possible Lucy was Katniss Dads Mom, or at least related to Katniss Dad.
The trailer looks amazing way better than what I was expecting, the fact that they stayed true to Lucy Gray's southern accent made me so happy, the arena looks so eerie and Donald Sutherland voice at the end tying everything together chef's kiss, I'm so excited for this film
I grew up with these books and movie series...it brings back so many memories. The first time I watched The Hunger Games Movie I was at the hospital at 11 years old, then the second movie I was 13 and went with ALL my classmates and when the last came out I was around 15 and it was like closing a cycle. Now I'm 21...time just flies. Ready to see this
I remember seeing the last movie in the cinemas for my birthday when I was like 14-15, the hype back then was crazy. I'm 20 now can't believe the last one came out in 2015. I'm so excited for this, we literally grew up with this series.
when you really start to get old these times in your life will feel like a blink of an eye and in a blink of an eye after 40 you are in your grave. thats what all old people say about the time after 40 so dont blink girls!
Rachel will also bring, I think, an eerier vibe to the song than Jennifer Lawrence just because this was the original version to that song! Katniss was only taught that song. Lucy Gray wrote it!😊
I read the hunger games when i was 14 and the movies came out when i was 15. I just watched this film today in my mid 20s and relived so many of the same feelings
I wish I grew up reading the books. But I only grew up watching the movies that came out when I was 10. I didn’t know English back then, I had to rely on subtitles.
The capitol visually looked like it was set in a dystopian 1950s. I love how the arena looks and the casting is literally perfect. But seriously though did anyone notice how much panem looks like it's set in a futuristic version of the 50s
It really does. Since this takes place 64 years before Katniss entered the arena and in her time it was retro futuristic. I really hope they explain the exact year and date that Panem and the hunger games take place
The design on the arena bugs me. The Capitol is stated (in this book or in Mockingjay, can't remember) to be in what was Denver. In this book, they say that the arena was an old sporting arena, so, should be something like Broncos Stadium (or the newer one). It being an indoor arena is contrary to this. At minimum it should be open air as there's a whole thing about rainwater and sun. Otherwise... I'm in the middle of a second read of the book and I recognized Every Single Shot from the book.
Viola Davis playing the psychotic villain in this looks like she had fun with it. Love the dystopian look of the world, the arena of them running through the tunnels makes me think of the Running Man. Can't wait to see this, and now I need to finish reading the book. And Snows quote at the end, chills . . . .
I KNOW RIGHT LIKE WHILE WATCHING IT IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD ALMOST THE SAME MOTIVATION ALL THROUGHOUT AND THEN JUST THAT MOMENT WITH SHOOTING THE MOCKINGJAYS YOU’RE LIKE “oh.” YOU CAN PINPOINT THE EXACT MOMENT YOU SEE HIS CHANGES AND I LOVE THAT IN A FILM SO MUCH
So I’m currently reading the book, chapter 8, and I’m really loving how much of an unreliable narrator Snow actually is. He is beyond delusional, which works really well in writing. I am a little concerned of how well that will actually translate on screen. He’s very good at saying all is right, empathetic, things, and dialogue, but his internal thoughts are would give away how absolutely out of touch. I really hope they do a good job conveying all of this without excessive voiceover. I also can’t wait for all of their fucking names to be said out loud, because I can’t pronounce a single one of themmmmmm
The hard part of the movies in this series as a whole will be the fact that without inner dialogue, much is left to the viewer to understand without the book background.
I know right I just finished the book it was so good but not my favorite I didn't like the ending but that is all I will say I don't want to spoil it for you! Enjoy the rest of the book!!! :)
@@rebeccashaver8518 Yeah I listened through audiobook too. Sah-Jane-us Corio-lane-us That's what I remember roughly from the book pronunciation but I forget other names needed. Who else?
Still shocked at the no reappearance of District 8 Hospital Helper, a phenomenal actor who deserved to be seen more in the big screen. No matter where he currently is or doing, I hope he finds the same success and fame as he once had.
Knowing Rachel Zegler did that bow as a homage to Katniss’s “Thank you for your consideration” bow in the first Hunger Games movie is such a treat for the fans. Another hint Lucy Gray Baird is Katniss Everdeen’s ancestor
Only just watched this movie, loved it! Was already understandable why Snow hated Katniss but knowing this back story makes it even more ironic. Another strong willed girl from District 12. And when she started singing that song I can not imagine how that impacted Snow!
Snow was one of the most feared characters I’ve read and seen. For me as a teenager, Snow’s character was written so well, it was just so scary and smart and wicked, God I was insane wanting to know more about how comes someone be this way. Having the opportunity to see Snow growing into this hideous heartless old man we know would be so damn interesting I can’t wait On my way to but the book cause I need to know!!
I was a kid when the hunger games first dropped so to be older and still having that same love for the hunger games series, it’s truly pure nostalgia to sit and watch another gem made with a full bucket of popcorn. Thank you Suzanne.
as a fan of the book this looks PERFECT. perfect casting, scenes in the trailer look exactly how i pictured them in the book, the whole vibe of the early capitol.. so excited
I never read the books. But I know that her Hanging Tree song was about Snow. Her being a player for D12 and singing that song must’ve made things hard when he went against Katniss. Katniss used the song to be about rebellion and it was used against him. And a player from D12 who bows similar to Lucy. I’m so excited to see this movie!
The song was actually about Billy Taupe and after his death in the novel she used it to reach snow about the meetup, she was originally going to flee with billy
@@thesnipingspider3852 eh, not really. She got cast as Maria in WSS directed by Spielberg at the age of 17. That’s not super common to land such a crucial role with someone like Stephen. Pretty spectacular.
The most anticipated part for me will be the relationship between Lucy Grey and Snow. To witness the beginning of Snow to the power-hungry and ruthless president counter part in the original trilogy... I hope that the movie will also include a version of "The Hanging Tree" - but Lucy's version. First of all SHE was the one who wrote the song for non other than Snow himself. Looking forward how the the upcoming prequel movie is gonna portray Snows betrayal towards Lucy. Cause I shed tears while reading the book....
The nostalgia hits hard, I cant wait for this. Very interested with Snow's backstory knowing how messed up he turned out to be. And donald sutherland's voiceline was the bomb, he played snow so damn well.

One of the things I always hated about dystopians was their focus on character love stories instead of the interworkings of the world. So I’m really pumped about learning the history and lore behind the world we saw in the og trilogy
Hunger Games definitely doesn't have the focus on the love stories. Books are like 100000 better than movies. Of course I'm not judging this new adaptation because this movie, at least in the trailer, seems very close to the book. We shall see the final result
Having now watched the movie I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and how much I enjoyed it. Cool to know that Daddy Snow partly came up with the idea for the hunger games and Coryo changing the games to what we get in the Hunger Games movies. Also, some great performances all around; Viola Davis as Gaul was great, she was unhinged and overacted in the best way
It is very good that they even touched Capitol aestethics. While in Katniss' timeline, Capitol people having extravagant fashion with too many plastic surgeries. But in Snow's youth, their style resembles retro and they wear more modest clothing. Such a good detail 👍🏻
If you look closely at the costumes, you can see how the "Capitolian chic" was born, as well as you like the detail when the panorama of the Capitol opens, behind the old buildings in the style of Stalin Empire, modern skyscrapers under construction are hidden. The only thing I didn't like was the use of analogue technologies of the 80s, because the actions in the book are already taking place in 3000. And these retro screens, as well as the graphic design used for TV shows and posters, combined with conceptual laboratories with genetically modified animals, do not look thoughtful. I've been waiting for the director to beat this time loop, alas, it turned out to be Blade Runner 2049.
His sister(Hunter) is the one who invents capital fashion of Effie Gray and is in the movies as the Tiger Woman who transformed her face to hide her relation to Snow
@@nikitam4720 THG is set in the 2200s. The prequel is supposed be sometime in the 2100s. It make sense to look retro because if society really fell a few decades from now, by the 2100s they would just reincorporate things previous generations did (80s, 70s, 60s).
People being pre-conditioned to be hardwired to an addiction to illuminated flat screens, is the biggest biased problem here. What you love will always be the downfall.
Same, I agree, I cant wait to go with friends to the premier. I still remember going to the premier for hunger games and waiting outside in a big line to buy tickets, before online preorder of course.
See, this is how you do it! You take a franchise/saga and you explode its potential by deepening in its story background, looking on the past and future of it. You don't make a new version of something that already exist! I'm loving this new way of watching the Hunger Games world, thank you! I was really missing this type of dystopian movies!
But sometimes, producers should accept the reality that everything has an end. It might not always be a good idea to make a prequel or sequel , but in some cases, such as examples of The Witcher: Blood Origin or The Matrix: Resurrections it was a bad idea . From the trailer, it appears to be a Hunger Games-like movie with a different cast. I could be wrong, but I don't feel comfortable with it. I think it will have the same outcome as The Matrix: Resurrections.
@@Emy-vv6zd I dont think you know anything about this story - read the book. This is not another repeat or copy of the hunger games. Its about President Snow's backstory and how he came into power.
I completely agree, both of their casting feels so off but I'm glad that a lot of the lines they have are pretty much word for word from the book. I imagined Highbottom being just some old tall thin man with grey hair like John Rawls or something and Gaulle as basically Edna from the incredibles. If they had to race swap people for quotas ngl I would much rather Sejanus' family because I always imagined his parents at least as being black (especially his father looking stout with a thick moustache) but that is just my opinion lol
Just that BOW that Lucy Gray does is absolutely incredible. Rachel captured it perfectly. Also, the use of the "It's the things we love the most that destroy us" line and the mockingjay song at the very end? GENIUS! Not to mention Viola Davis!
I can not tell you how terrified I was when this was announced because I didn’t want them to ruin it, but after watching the trailer I am literally so excited. The book was really good so hopefully this will be too.
I dont underatand tjo, they said welcome to the tenth reaping, and then in the arena they saw welcome to thefiest hubger games. Someone please explain.
Yeah this is the bit that's confused me, whilst the description in the book was somewhat amorphous, it was at least described as an outdoor arena that was formerly an american football/baseball stadium, with a press box, scoreboard etc which they built the barricade under. In this trailer it's a big indoor hall? Very different to the book. The outdoor part was crucial for the drone deliveries to the tributes, lamina was described as being sunburnt after being on the beam in the sun all day etc.
Yes same! I thought I just remembered the arena description incorrectly and I kept thinking, hmmm that’s not what I pictured at all. The movie looks really promising!
there's just nothing that does it for me like dystopians do... This trailer takes me back to divergent and obviously hunger games when they first premiered and were announced, im actually genuinely excited for this. this trailer looks amazing!!
@A Bored Viewer go start that convo somewhere else, we’re all talking about movies not everything has to be a real world debate. I hate how the world is like this now. If your upset with the world go get into politics because your beliefs aren’t doing much in a hunger games movie comment section.
For those of you who think this story will be about a good guy becoming the villain because of past traumas, give the movie a chance... You'll be surprised. The protagonist is not only well developed, there are also quite interesting secondary characters
@@CianMcsweeney Snow NEVER lost his morality, it just doesn't sync up with most peoples. He even says that he's "not above killing children but he takes life for very specific reasons." He's never purposefully wasteful.
I just finished reading the book and the only thought after that is that he is a psycho. 🙈 Of course, I started thinking about it from the very beginning, but... ) To be honest, I am very glad that the author did not do him good guy at first. And now I would like another book about Lucy Gray, about her fate. ))
@@kkirschkk I'd have to agree, it could've been 50-100 pages longer. My hope is that she'll write a sequel, perhaps discuss the 25th Hunger Games Quarter Qwell, and finish Lucy Gray's story. One interesting thought I had would be to have the 25th Games be composed of people who've escaped the Districts, Snow could force her back into the Games. Something like that anyway.
Back here after reading the book. Never was I so repelled by a protagonist, but invested in their story all the same. Learning about the hanging tree was so satisfying, thinking how Katniss would have annoyed him with her Mockingjay pin and the song 🤣
@@HermitKing731 bro what? 😭 it’s literally based off of a book like the rest of them. And don’t say the book is a cashgrab because it’s like double the size of the other books. This is an addition to the franchise my dude.
I just finished the book minutes ago and this trailer gave me chills omg I’m so excited - I’ve been a hunger games superfan since 2012 and I got this book in 2020 and never got around to actually reading it. Just binged it over two days so I could watch this trailer and wow there are tears in my eyes I’m so excited for this
@@majorevangelism ah yes I have a few blind mates who use a speaking program for their computers and phones and the voices go super fast. I can’t understand a thing but they can
Where is District 8 Hospital Helper? Surely they wouldn't make this movie without Charles White, right? I don't know how they could even keep this franchise going without him!
@@_bluop_ Charles Christopher White Jr. (born August 2, 1994), better known as MoistCr1TiKaL (pronounced "moist critical"), Cr1TiKaL, or penguinz0, is an American RUclipsr, streamer, musician, podcaster, and actor. He is best known for his role as District 8 Hospital Helper in the Hunger Games, as well as commentary videos and live streams covering internet culture and video games. White's content is characterized by his monotone deep voice and deadpan comedic style. In addition, White is the co-founder and co-owner of the esports organization Moist Esports and co-founder and member of the musical duo, the Gentle Men.
I can’t believe they didn’t include the most iconic character of the Hunger Games franchise: District 8 Hospital Helper played by the great actor Charles White
This movie hit different by the end I felt like I’d undergone a villain arc same as Snow further solidified by the final shot of him standing before the statue then the song playing and the credits rolling
These books are so difficult to put to screen given how deeply they're about someone's inner most thoughts and trauma, but the shot at 1:49 has sold me to at least see this once. That's a gorgeous shot and is very in line with the book. The last third of this should be really great viewing on the big screen if they can do the tension right. The cast seems great.
I agree! I think that scene is from the near-end of the book when Lucy Gray leaves him in the forest and he turns on her. Such a great scene. Can’t wait to see the movie.
Honestly the inner battle Coriolanus was going through was amazing to read and hopefully they can capture it but I’m scared cuz that’s really hard to do
"It's the things that we love most that destroy us"... Now it all makes sense. Why Snow is the way he is. I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't read the book, but if you have read it, then you know what I mean by this. I can't wait to see the movie!
@@alessandraalvizo8695 naw I think he said this in mockiingjay part 1 when he and katniss and talking while gale and the others are truing to savevpeeta
From the trailer it seems like they will fit the entire book into one movie. Wasn’t sure if they would try to split it up into two parts. I am very excited! As criminal as this sounds, Snow has always been my favorite character. Such a sophisticated character, and Donald Sutherland portrayed that so well!
I hope so. The book already has pacing issues, no way they could make three movies out of it unless they added a whole bunch of stuff. I hope that they'll make it into something more coherent at least.
When young Snow said "I do my best to take care of you" with the head tilt and eyebrow raise. I was immediately convinced that it was Snow. The actor already has me sold!
So proud to say that they recorded some scenes in the city where I live (Duisburg Landschafts park ) I was even there while they recorded it. So beautiful to see hundreds of them in their costumes. Amazing experience for us thanks for this and can’t wait to see the movie
This movie looks incredible. It's a shame they didn't see the opportunity to bring back district 8 hospital helper. I would've loved to see his backstory and learn how his early life shaped him into becoming the man he was. Perhaps they're planning a spin-off movie (TV show?) for his character, I don't see any other real explanation for how the producers could leave such a massive gap in the franchise.
I heard that they are actually planning a spin off with his character, apparently it’s going to be a comedy and he will have iconic catchphrases such as “Let’s gooo!!!” And “well, that’s pretty much it. See ya”
Maybe we'll get an end credits scene with our hero emerging from the rubble of the hospital and yelling "Let's gooo!" Leading up to his own movie which he rightfully deserves.
Y'all don't listen to the bad reviews, it was actually good. It was divided into 3 parts and the first 2/3 were amazing and full of action. The last part was alright. But in comparison to anything Hollywood has put out the last 5 years, I'd say this one is up there.
Where is district 8 hospital helper?? Charlie White literally carried the hunger games franchise with his acting skills as district 8 hospital helper and you backstabbed him.
Is anyone else watching this trailer and not seeing actors, but only seeing real, fleshed out characters? Everyone just looks exactly like the legendary Suzanne Collins described them!!! Oh my god I'm so excited!!! Really hope they justice to the masterpiece that is this book.
0:34 OMG GUYS This is the exact same rebellious bow down like Katniss did after shooting the apple: “thank you for your consideration” and in Catching fire after she made and hang that doll of Seneca LUCY IS SO FRIKING BADASS AND REBELLIOUS, JUST LIKE KATNISS AHHH IM GONNA LOVE THIS!
They should make a movie or series about Young Haymitches hunger games experience.
Only if they can digitally de-age Woody Harrelson to his 20’s! I’d love to see that
Yes!! I loved his back story!
There’s a fab one it’s really good !
I'd like that too but we would already know he survived.
And I'm pretty sure I remember hearing it in the book that he hid at the edge for majority of the game and the game took place in a sahara with no water... Seems pretty boring...
But I'd love to see Snow's face at the mention of another Tribute 12 Winner

Thank you. Thought I was the only one 🙌
As a fan of the book, i approve of this trailer. They have already captured the tone and design of the book perfectly, now let’s see if they can capture the story and characters.
True, every scene in the trailer was in the book. Maude Ivory and Tigris look so old in the trailer tho lol
I've got to re-read it before the movie debuts.
This movie will either make it or break it.
I am so surprised by how much this trailer did not disappoint me, I was expecting them to not really be all that book accurate
Here here!
That rage where Snow starts shooting at the mockingjays in frustration is beautifully captured here. This is going to be lovely to watch.
I think that’s the other boy
I think that was the scene when he was hunting Lucy down
I love that they show a lot of the book, but in such way that if you haven't read it, you have barely any context to it so you're not spoiled
They were repeating her song, I think. That's why he was shooting the mockingjays down.

Telling Snow’s backstory in the big screen? I’m all in for this he’s probably the most intriguing part of the Hunger Games story for me.
Yeah, this movie is based off the book of the same name so there’s gonna be more details about his life in there
omg read the book it was so good!
Uh, yeah, from the book that came out a few years ago.
The book, while the end was rushed and it was a bit messy pacing wise, was still so good because of the concepts and character arcs it introduced. I’m SO excited for this film though. I’m not a fan of the casting though. I think the only solid casting is Viola Davis, but other than that, I’m not really a fan of the casting so far.

This book was ACTUALLY a decent prequel and a decent villian backstory. Truly proves protagonist doesn’t mean good guy, just main character. Excited to see this on the big screen.

Protagonist literally means hero of the story… do kids not pay attention or know anything about reading or english class?
@@XDarksoulX1129 Protagonist- The leading character or one of the major characters in a drama, movie, novel, or other fictional text.
@@etoileshine1011 Likewise, the antagonist doesn't necessarily mean bad guy. Just someone who presents opposition. Sometimes people confuse the literary term with the colloquial use of both.
This trailer is quite literally PERFECT! It isn't the tone I imagined, but it's the tone that is necessary. WE'VE RETURNED TO THE HUNGER GAMES!
Yeah there’s a lot in this movie I didn’t imagine like how her dress is or the school uniform but I still love it and the casting for Dr Gaul is perfect
@@BrandonLandrum Agreed! Honestly, Dr Gaul's vibe is much different than I imagined. I thought it would be more Joker-like than seriously twisted and evil. But it fits the adaptation much more this way.
@@harryskywalker6814 if you watch either of the suicide squad movies her character in those movies are pretty much Dr gual
I wanted a hint of music at the end but it is pretty dang good.
The title reminds me of the original Game of Thrones book title.

A Song of Ice and Fire.
I love Peter dinklages line about snow falling. I can’t get enough of it 😂
Jon Snow
made the 99 likes 100
Yeah he plays a tragic character again and needs to deal with snow and drama
I’m reading the book currently, his character is absolutely wasted all the time too. Fits so well.
Yeah, I can't get enough seeing racist, far-left lunatics like Dinklage and Zegler. There really isn't enough of that in movies today.

@@msushi98 Nigga u do know not everyone in yt is 20+, use ur head
Snow always lands on top
No but hearing Dean Highbotton say, “That’s the sound of Snow falling.” I legit JUST finished the book and seeing the bit with Corio shooting at the trees hits different right now😭
Same. 😢
Agree
i think that’s the first part where they shoot the mockingjays and not when he does a circle … but let’s see !!
Actually its CorYo 🤓
Literally same 😭😭😭
Just finished the book (literally two minutes ago) so ofc I had to run to this trailer. I'm very excited but a little worried, just because of how vital Snow's inner monologe is in the book. It's crazy how often I found myself root for him and then snap out of it, at least until the last third of the book. But even then, some of his interactions were still morally "good". Crazy good writing tbh. everyone's a good guy in their own mind and Collins captured that mental divide between Snow's actions and his thought patterns perfectly. So i hope they find a way to accurately portray this in the movie!
Same! Didn’t get to the ending yet, but almost. I keep switching between thoughts like: “he totally lacks of empathy” to “his environment shaped him and makes him think certain things” to back to the lack of empathy. Conclusion? I feel it’s a combo of the two, but he definitely drives on power and obsessions without feeling bad at all for other people. If he does feel bad… it’s only cuz it hurts him somehow as well. The way collins portrayed that is amazing. People are complex and she portrayed that perfectly
@@maraapolide8859 literally!!! He's so young in the book and part of me feels sad for me but at the same time WHAT A DIIIICK
Same!! Just finished the book couple minutes age, just started researching for the reviews and info about the movie adaption, then I find this!!! The trailer!! I don't feel that the actors are the good fit for those characters before I finish the trailer. But now I feel sooooo excited when I see the performance and hear the lines which reminds me every up and downs in the book.
Totally agree with "everyone's a good guy in their own mind".
@@omehbossa im so excited!!! I hope they do the book justice. And yeah i think one thing Collins just does outstandingly is show the way a young, yet already corrupted mind works. I found myself rooting for Snow at times not because what he was doing was morally or ethically correct, but because HE thought so. Genius writing that takes your head for a spin.
Absolutely agree, finished my re-read last night and I can't believe it had me UNDERSTANDING why Snow thought the way he did. Plus, I loved the ending in the sense of it sort of solidified the change in him, showed which side of his mental battle he chose. It was phenomenal writing but this trailer looks AMAZING and it seems from what I've looked at, they've stuck to the plot somewhat, especially that scene of him wildly shooting at the trees, right down to the buzzcut he gets in part 3 of the book. I am VERY excited!
This film certainly was one for the fans. Giving us an amazing backstory to Snow, all the while providing an entertaining and exhilarating atmosphere, and the ‘anti-Katniss’, Lucy Grey. What a beautifully made film. I enjoyed every minute. 🔥
what do you mean by “anti-katniss lucy gray”?
Katniss is a hunter forced to be a performer, Luce Gray is a performer forced to be a hunter ? I have seen that line going around
@@octobling ahhh! This is very cool
I just finished the book a couple days ago, and I think it’s remarkable how every single frame of this trailer can be matched almost exactly to a moment from the book. Every image and almost every word of dialogue I could find in the book.
Is the line "See how quickly civilization disappears" in the book, too? I still have to read it (I will do it the month before the movie is out)
@@Gloria-ds9mw yeah it is! Not sure if it’s word for word but that is def taken from a conversation
I know!!! It makes me optimistic about the quality of this movie. I really hope they portray all the characters well and I have a feeling they will!!
That's what I love about the Hunger Games movies. They stay very true to the books. Especially in the first movie of course they had to shorten it but they only changed little things. They had Haymitch and Cinna explain things to Katniss that in the book she already knew, immediately getting rid of the District 4 girl because she's not really a character in the book either, having District 4 not be a career district, and having Thresh killed by mutts.
@@Gloria-ds9mwi think it’s from the conversation dr. graul had with snow about chaos
I LOVE the little detail that Lucy gray was the one to create the hanging tree song that Katniss sings. Just another dagger in Snow's heart so many years after.
That's what made it all the more personal to Snow: that Katniss reminded Coriolanus so much of Lucy Gray.
@@futuremovieactor some believe, and it is speculation, that Lucy Gray might be Katniss’ grandmother or be related in some way
@@sofiamirandadd grandmother? probably not.
my guess would be that katniss is related to one of the other covey members?? id say it’s nearly impossible that lucy lived on to have kids.
@@persypear it’s just a theory I saw, but maybe related in some way like grand aunt
@@persypearI think it's quite possible.
We don't know anything about Katniss Father or who he was related too, or why he sung The Hanging Tree around his daughter.
I think it's possible Lucy was Katniss Dads Mom, or at least related to Katniss Dad.
The trailer looks amazing way better than what I was expecting, the fact that they stayed true to Lucy Gray's southern accent made me so happy, the arena looks so eerie and Donald Sutherland voice at the end tying everything together chef's kiss, I'm so excited for this film
Is it southern or Appalachian accent?
@@dangerislander Lucy Gray is technically not from district 12, and the book heavily alluded to her accent being Southern
@@Maya6.11 ooohh nice... I need to read the book now!!
@@Maya6.11 well she’s Covey and the inspiration was form the Romani people which are nomads of Indo-Aryan descent… so not exactly Southern

I grew up with these books and movie series...it brings back so many memories. The first time I watched The Hunger Games Movie I was at the hospital at 11 years old, then the second movie I was 13 and went with ALL my classmates and when the last came out I was around 15 and it was like closing a cycle. Now I'm 21...time just flies. Ready to see this
I remember seeing the last movie in the cinemas for my birthday when I was like 14-15, the hype back then was crazy. I'm 20 now can't believe the last one came out in 2015. I'm so excited for this, we literally grew up with this series.
I’m 24, time certainly flies. Every once in a while it reminds you to slow down because before you know it; the curtain call will be upon us
when you really start to get old these times in your life will feel like a blink of an eye and in a blink of an eye after 40 you are in your grave. thats what all old people say about the time after 40 so dont blink girls!
I was the exact same age seeing all of them! Time is a crazy thing🥂
Trash franchise. Fell apart after the 1st movie.
Im so excited to hear Lucy sing Hanging Tree. It's gonna be so surreal and haunting, now knowing it's back story.
Rachel will also bring, I think, an eerier vibe to the song than Jennifer Lawrence just because this was the original version to that song! Katniss was only taught that song. Lucy Gray wrote it!😊
Yeah I can’t wait to hear it!
Wait am I missing some backstory?? I've seen only the 4 main movies, no books.
@@drownedzephyr right I'm wondering the same thing!
@@drownedzephyr You’ll find out once this movie is released, i don’t wanna spoil anything
I read the hunger games when i was 14 and the movies came out when i was 15. I just watched this film today in my mid 20s and relived so many of the same feelings
Please where did you watch it from
@@markusnankling3738 i went to the cinema
I wish I grew up reading the books. But I only grew up watching the movies that came out when I was 10. I didn’t know English back then, I had to rely on subtitles.
The capitol visually looked like it was set in a dystopian 1950s. I love how the arena looks and the casting is literally perfect. But seriously though did anyone notice how much panem looks like it's set in a futuristic version of the 50s
I did and it’s really cool. I forgot all about the 4th movie
I thought that too.
It really does. Since this takes place 64 years before Katniss entered the arena and in her time it was retro futuristic. I really hope they explain the exact year and date that Panem and the hunger games take place
@@auggiejaime3820 it really is retro futuristic and I love it so much
The design on the arena bugs me. The Capitol is stated (in this book or in Mockingjay, can't remember) to be in what was Denver. In this book, they say that the arena was an old sporting arena, so, should be something like Broncos Stadium (or the newer one). It being an indoor arena is contrary to this. At minimum it should be open air as there's a whole thing about rainwater and sun.
Otherwise... I'm in the middle of a second read of the book and I recognized Every Single Shot from the book.
Viola Davis playing the psychotic villain in this looks like she had fun with it. Love the dystopian look of the world, the arena of them running through the tunnels makes me think of the Running Man. Can't wait to see this, and now I need to finish reading the book. And Snows quote at the end, chills . . . .
Viola Davis in this franchise is a shock that’s fs

I just finished
So I’m currently reading the book, chapter 8, and I’m really loving how much of an unreliable narrator Snow actually is. He is beyond delusional, which works really well in writing. I am a little concerned of how well that will actually translate on screen. He’s very good at saying all is right, empathetic, things, and dialogue, but his internal thoughts are would give away how absolutely out of touch. I really hope they do a good job conveying all of this without excessive voiceover. I also can’t wait for all of their fucking names to be said out loud, because I can’t pronounce a single one of themmmmmm
The hard part of the movies in this series as a whole will be the fact that without inner dialogue, much is left to the viewer to understand without the book background.
I know right I just finished the book it was so good but not my favorite I didn't like the ending but that is all I will say I don't want to spoil it for you! Enjoy the rest of the book!!! :)
YES! He was a victim of the games.
I think a small fix for the names thing is listening to the audiobook. I kinda know how to say their names now
@@rebeccashaver8518 Yeah I listened through audiobook too.
Sah-Jane-us
Corio-lane-us
That's what I remember roughly from the book pronunciation but I forget other names needed.
Who else?
Still shocked at the no reappearance of District 8 Hospital Helper, a phenomenal actor who deserved to be seen more in the big screen. No matter where he currently is or doing, I hope he finds the same success and fame as he once had.
I hope he manages to show his incredible acting abilities in Percy Jackson or in the new Twilight show 💔
I’m shocked. I can’t believe they’ve done this.
Omg he’s in this 😂😂😂
Idk if i can watch this without my favorite actor
His arm truly played such a vital part in creating such a masterpiece. It really is a shame we won't get a reappearance from this superstar
the song “are you coming to the tree” gives me chills but after the movie i couldn’t stop singing it
Snows voice at the end....literal GOOSEBUMPS
Lucy's bow gave me goosebumps. The similarities between Katniss and Lucy is what I am looking forward to most in this movie.
Paternal grandmother. So cool!
@@michaeladarius4170 I thought so too! But is it proven?
@@Yunashelia No, just head canons for people
@@Yunashelia From the author’s mouth. Look it up🙌🏾❤️
Isn't that why Snow was so peeved by her in the series? Iirc it must have felt like pressing at an old, forgotten pain point of his.
Knowing Rachel Zegler did that bow as a homage to Katniss’s “Thank you for your consideration” bow in the first Hunger Games movie is such a treat for the fans. Another hint Lucy Gray Baird is Katniss Everdeen’s ancestor
Is she her ancestor?? I need to know!!!
As far as we know. It’s unconfirmed, her whereabouts and general well-being is left open ended. I don’t think we’re ever going to know.
Its more likely that Katniss' ancestor was one of the covey, maybe Maude Ivory not lucy gray
There's fan theories that her ancestor is Maude Ivory
I’ve never seen the books but why do I feel like snow might fall for Lucy
Only just watched this movie, loved it! Was already understandable why Snow hated Katniss but knowing this back story makes it even more ironic. Another strong willed girl from District 12. And when she started singing that song I can not imagine how that impacted Snow!
Snow was one of the most feared characters I’ve read and seen. For me as a teenager, Snow’s character was written so well, it was just so scary and smart and wicked, God I was insane wanting to know more about how comes someone be this way.
Having the opportunity to see Snow growing into this hideous heartless old man we know would be so damn interesting
I can’t wait
On my way to but the book cause I need to know!!

@@ictlab1345 its the origin story of president snow
I never read the books. But I know that her Hanging Tree song was about Snow. Her being a player for D12 and singing that song must’ve made things hard when he went against Katniss. Katniss used the song to be about rebellion and it was used against him. And a player from D12 who bows similar to Lucy.
I’m so excited to see this movie!
The song was actually about Billy Taupe and after his death in the novel she used it to reach snow about the meetup, she was originally going to flee with billy
You really should read the books. They are so so much better than the movies

The most anticipated part for me will be the relationship between Lucy Grey and Snow. To witness the beginning of Snow to the power-hungry and ruthless president counter part in the original trilogy... I hope that the movie will also include a version of "The Hanging Tree" - but Lucy's version. First of all SHE was the one who wrote the song for non other than Snow himself.

Just read the book, it’s all there
well about that…
U can’t read or what
I think worm by wildbow will be a good book fod you to read. It started out as YA kind of story but as it progresses boii ur in for a treat
Hunger Games definitely doesn't have the focus on the love stories. Books are like 100000 better than movies. Of course I'm not judging this new adaptation because this movie, at least in the trailer, seems very close to the book. We shall see the final result
Having now watched the movie I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and how much I enjoyed it. Cool to know that Daddy Snow partly came up with the idea for the hunger games and Coryo changing the games to what we get in the Hunger Games movies.

It is very good that they even touched Capitol aestethics. While in Katniss' timeline, Capitol people having extravagant fashion with too many plastic surgeries. But in Snow's youth, their style resembles retro and they wear more modest clothing. Such a good detail 👍🏻
If you look closely at the costumes, you can see how the "Capitolian chic" was born, as well as you like the detail when the panorama of the Capitol opens, behind the old buildings in the style of Stalin Empire, modern skyscrapers under construction are hidden. The only thing I didn't like was the use of analogue technologies of the 80s, because the actions in the book are already taking place in 3000. And these retro screens, as well as the graphic design used for TV shows and posters, combined with conceptual laboratories with genetically modified animals, do not look thoughtful. I've been waiting for the director to beat this time loop, alas, it turned out to be Blade Runner 2049.

@@nikitam4720 THG is set in the 2200s. The prequel is supposed be sometime in the 2100s. It make sense to look retro because if society really fell a few decades from now, by the 2100s they would just reincorporate things previous generations did (80s, 70s, 60s).
Movies like this is why movie theatres will never go out of business. I will definitely be watching this on the big screen!

But sometimes, producers should accept the reality that everything has an end. It might not always be a good idea to make a prequel or sequel , but in some cases, such as examples of The Witcher: Blood Origin or The Matrix: Resurrections it was a bad idea .
From the trailer, it appears to be a Hunger Games-like movie with a different cast. I could be wrong, but I don't feel comfortable with it. I think it will have the same outcome as The Matrix: Resurrections.
It's based on the prequel book that expands on Snow's backstory.

Honestly didn’t imagine the stadium to look like this in comparison with the book, but I’m all for a compact arena. The snake scene’s gonna be epic.
Yeah this is the bit that's confused me, whilst the description in the book was somewhat amorphous, it was at least described as an outdoor arena that was formerly an american football/baseball stadium, with a press box, scoreboard etc which they built the barricade under. In this trailer it's a big indoor hall? Very different to the book. The outdoor part was crucial for the drone deliveries to the tributes, lamina was described as being sunburnt after being on the beam in the sun all day etc.
Yes same! I thought I just remembered the arena description incorrectly and I kept thinking, hmmm that’s not what I pictured at all. The movie looks really promising!

I just finished reading the book and the only thought after that is that he is a psycho. 🙈 Of course, I started thinking about it from the very beginning, but... ) To be honest, I am very glad that the author did not do him good guy at first. And now I would like another book about Lucy Gray, about her fate. ))
only thing I did not like about the book was the ending [it really felt sudden and kinda unearned] but otherwise 10/10 [overall a 9.5/10]
@@kkirschkk I'd have to agree, it could've been 50-100 pages longer. My hope is that she'll write a sequel, perhaps discuss the 25th Hunger Games Quarter Qwell, and finish Lucy Gray's story. One interesting thought I had would be to have the 25th Games be composed of people who've escaped the Districts, Snow could force her back into the Games. Something like that anyway.
Back here after reading the book. Never was I so repelled by a protagonist, but invested in their story all the same. Learning about the hanging tree was so satisfying, thinking how Katniss would have annoyed him with her Mockingjay pin and the song 🤣
i really thought they deaged Stanley Tucci to play the announcer but then i looked it up and realized it was Jason Schwartzman. This movie was great.
Damn they missed an opportunity to bring back district 8 hospital helper. What a tragedy.
so sad to see they didnt have the district 8 hospital helper
Watched the movie today.Absolutely incredible!!Love how the movie captures the character development of Snow.
As someone who read the book and loved Lucy’s character, casting Rachel Zegler in her role is literally the perfect pick.
@A Bored Viewer you're disgusting. rachel is going to kill the role, she has the perfect voice for it
Why do you say that?
As someone who read the book and absolutely enjoyed the show, I thought they would mess up, but seeing this trailer, I have some second thoughts👍👍
@A Bored Viewer Snow White is German, and Rachel is Polish, so. It's close enough.
@@aaleyah3082 Most polish people aren't brown though, are they?
I think I can speak for everyone when I say how excited I am for this movie!
Huh?
@@SundevilRoadrunner They said we are excited. You got a problem, Christopher?
@@harryskywalker6814 who the hell is we wth
@@knekcbejbvjvkbkjbkbkjb924 we as in the citizens of Panem
@@HermitKing731 bro what? 😭 it’s literally based off of a book like the rest of them. And don’t say the book is a cashgrab because it’s like double the size of the other books. This is an addition to the franchise my dude.
0:33 I love this shot because it shows more of a connection between Katniss and Lucy
Yes! Katniss did this exact movement in Catching fire
@@myms9681 and In the first movie
And in the fourth movie
Oh my god, Katniss reminded Snow of Lucy! The connection!!!
@@KellyIsShort yeah fun fact lucky is the one who wrote the hanging tree song and introduced snow to the mocking jay
This movie was SO GOOD. I haven't stopped thinking about it. Now reading the book and listening to the soundtrack on repeat.
What are talking about? It sucked
I just finished the book minutes ago and this trailer gave me chills omg I’m so excited - I’ve been a hunger games superfan since 2012 and I got this book in 2020 and never got around to actually reading it. Just binged it over two days so I could watch this trailer and wow there are tears in my eyes I’m so excited for this
Two days wow! I just finished it on audible and took me about a month to finish it like that.
@@nicolebuttigieg569You got to slowly increase the speed. You get used to it after awhile.
@@majorevangelism ah yes I have a few blind mates who use a speaking program for their computers and phones and the voices go super fast. I can’t understand a thing but they can
I did the exact same thing you did. I had the book for a while but knowing the movie is coming out this year motivated me to read it
Just read the book in 4 days… watched the trailer and I’m so pumped
Where is District 8 Hospital Helper? Surely they wouldn't make this movie without Charles White, right? I don't know how they could even keep this franchise going without him!
Who is Charles white
@@_bluop_ Charles Christopher White Jr. (born August 2, 1994), better known as MoistCr1TiKaL (pronounced "moist critical"), Cr1TiKaL, or penguinz0, is an American RUclipsr, streamer, musician, podcaster, and actor. He is best known for his role as District 8 Hospital Helper in the Hunger Games, as well as commentary videos and live streams covering internet culture and video games. White's content is characterized by his monotone deep voice and deadpan comedic style. In addition, White is the co-founder and co-owner of the esports organization Moist Esports and co-founder and member of the musical duo, the Gentle Men.
I can’t believe they didn’t include the most iconic character of the Hunger Games franchise: District 8 Hospital Helper played by the great actor Charles White
I guess there’s no curing this franchise now
this movie is ruined
En serio que no se de hablan, ya van varios comentarios con lo mismo me he visto todas las películas y no se de quién hablan!!!
@@lowqualityvideos8091 omg so don’t watch it
@@AnnaF33 bruv do you not understand what a joke is
This movie hit different by the end I felt like I’d undergone a villain arc same as Snow further solidified by the final shot of him standing before the statue then the song playing and the credits rolling
These books are so difficult to put to screen given how deeply they're about someone's inner most thoughts and trauma, but the shot at 1:49 has sold me to at least see this once. That's a gorgeous shot and is very in line with the book. The last third of this should be really great viewing on the big screen if they can do the tension right. The cast seems great.
I agree! I think that scene is from the near-end of the book when Lucy Gray leaves him in the forest and he turns on her. Such a great scene. Can’t wait to see the movie.
@@vitisxvinifera you should put in a spoiler warning in your comment just in case lmao
Honestly the inner battle Coriolanus was going through was amazing to read and hopefully they can capture it but I’m scared cuz that’s really hard to do
@@vitisxvinifera p
@@vitisxvinifera Jesus fuck. I read the books but I just don't go around casually spoiling shit
"It's the things that we love most that destroy us"... Now it all makes sense. Why Snow is the way he is. I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't read the book, but if you have read it, then you know what I mean by this. I can't wait to see the movie!
@@HayDayEveryday no Snow says this in catching fire if i'm not mistaken
@@HayDayEveryday it’s a good for all catchphrase by now, i’m sure….
just a guess. he lost a loved one and wants others do feel his pain
👍
@@alessandraalvizo8695 naw I think he said this in mockiingjay part 1 when he and katniss and talking while gale and the others are truing to savevpeeta
I saw it opening night. It was so so so good!!!! 9.5/10
Where is that hospital helper from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1?
"it's not just about winning, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT WINNING" chills running in my spine.... Favourite book and most awaited movie from childhood
I was expecting the film to be good but WOW this actually looks brilliant and way better than what I was expecting.
4 freemason symbols in the opening scene. They're a lot more in your face with it now.
Fr
Throughout the whole movie
From the trailer it seems like they will fit the entire book into one movie. Wasn’t sure if they would try to split it up into two parts. I am very excited! As criminal as this sounds, Snow has always been my favorite character. Such a sophisticated character, and Donald Sutherland portrayed that so well!
I got goosebumps when his voice came at the end
I hope so. The book already has pacing issues, no way they could make three movies out of it unless they added a whole bunch of stuff. I hope that they'll make it into something more coherent at least.
Be nice if she wrote more books.
When young Snow said "I do my best to take care of you" with the head tilt and eyebrow raise. I was immediately convinced that it was Snow. The actor already has me sold!
Really hoping they reveal District 8 hospital helper in the next trailer…
So proud to say that they recorded some scenes in the city where I live (Duisburg Landschafts park ) I was even there while they recorded it. So beautiful to see hundreds of them in their costumes. Amazing experience for us thanks for this and can’t wait to see the movie
Where is District 8 hospital helper??? He was the glue that held this franchise together!
Init? I’m gutted. Boycotting it now.
This movie looks incredible.
It's a shame they didn't see the opportunity to bring back district 8 hospital helper. I would've loved to see his backstory and learn how his early life shaped him into becoming the man he was. Perhaps they're planning a spin-off movie (TV show?) for his character, I don't see any other real explanation for how the producers could leave such a massive gap in the franchise.
I heard that they are actually planning a spin off with his character, apparently it’s going to be a comedy and he will have iconic catchphrases such as “Let’s gooo!!!” And “well, that’s pretty much it. See ya”
They made a big mistake here
I don't see any way for this franchise to go further
Maybe we'll get an end credits scene with our hero emerging from the rubble of the hospital and yelling "Let's gooo!" Leading up to his own movie which he rightfully deserves.
Who are you talking about? What district 8 medical helper?
@@madleykool8968 its a joke about the youtuber ‘penguinz0’ he was a background character in the 2nd hunger games movie.
I got chills hearing Donald Sutherland’s voice at the end and the end with Rue’s whistle 😩
In the start of the trailer you can hear the piano notes of the same thing!!
@@TessaxMusic95oooh yes!! I didn’t even pick that up!
Y'all don't listen to the bad reviews, it was actually good. It was divided into 3 parts and the first 2/3 were amazing and full of action. The last part was alright. But in comparison to anything Hollywood has put out the last 5 years, I'd say this one is up there.
Where is district 8 hospital helper?? Charlie White literally carried the hunger games franchise with his acting skills as district 8 hospital helper and you backstabbed him.
Is anyone else watching this trailer and not seeing actors, but only seeing real, fleshed out characters? Everyone just looks exactly like the legendary Suzanne Collins described them!!! Oh my god I'm so excited!!! Really hope they justice to the masterpiece that is this book.
yup, literally lifted off the pages onto the screen! that red silhouette shot where corio is going into the arena is just perfect
SERIOUSLY!!!! i can match just about every moment from this trailer up with a moment from the book, if the movie is the same i'm gonna be so psyched
@@possums154RIGHT!! everyones hating on some of thr cast but i beileve the cast is perfect!! especially sejanus and lucy gray and tigris
even after knowing Hunter from euphoria as Jules... i just cant unsee Tigris. just amazing
0:34 OMG GUYS This is the exact same rebellious bow down like Katniss did after shooting the apple: “thank you for your consideration” and in Catching fire after she made and hang that doll of Seneca
LUCY IS SO FRIKING BADASS AND REBELLIOUS, JUST LIKE KATNISS AHHH IM GONNA LOVE THIS!
Oh my god, thanks for reminding meeee! How the hell did I miss that 😭
Love how she's so different yet so same to Katniss, different in every aspect yet enough similar for Katniss to remind him of Lucy in future
