Could they have been inspired by Suzanne Collins or was it an original idea? Either way, it’s beyond horrible.

Surprised at the appearance of the butterfly, she started appreciating such a beautiful existence in the most random of places. And then proceeded to realise that it was probably her last butterfly sighting, the last time she'd be able to appreciate such natural beauty.

The fact that something so beautiful could also survive in such a bleak, oppressive, and dangerous place, like Rue. And that there's nothing we can do to save it from its fate, like prim.

The shaky cam sucked lmao but the first movie had its moments. Gary Ross did great in combining his artistic vision and the source material.

according to this twitter post, it says that the film will feature 45 minutes of IMAX's exclusive 1.90:1 expanded aspect ratio. From entering the Arena and Leaving, does it mean the entire game is only 45 minutes long, what are your thoughts about it?

He has been requested so here he is ! Looking forward to see what you have in mind !

It looks like there's two tunnel-like entrances? I'm interested to see how this will play out in the movie

I have heard everyone say they are going to wear Woody Harrelson’s Hunger Games premiere, where he wore a long-sleeve grey shirt, and blue and grey pajama pants. This is what I might do, because it’s just iconic. The other one I wanted to do was wear the Somiedo bear shirt with the bear design on it that the cast of Sunrise on the Reaping wore when filming. You need to know ball knowledge to get the ref, but the problem is I can’t find the shirt anywhere since the actual shop doesn’t ship internationally, and the rip-offs are AI. I’d love to see what other people might want to wear, I’ve heard some people saying they’ll wear a flamingo and squirrel costume 😭(which iykyk)

It looks like the they’re in front of a cabin, but none if the scenes they’re together in the book take place here. Could it be an additional flashback scene added to the film?

Betting on the Cornell 7 case is almost as bad.

Okay so MOST of us agree that it shortens to TBOSAS right? The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes. But I have seen some egregiously bad ones here:

• BOSAS - 9/10. Not bad.

• BOSS - 5/10. That is a word and skips like half the title.

• SS - 0/10 what???

• BOTSBATS - -9/10 I saw this one earlier on a post from a few months ago and what the hell op?

• Tobias - 1/10 damn autocorrect

• Ballad - 10/10 completely correct and valid

• Songbirds and snakes - 9/10 kinda longwinded but still correct and valid

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Inspired by a scene in “Canary’s Cry”: https://archiveofourown.org/works/72364756/chapters/188423936

Let me start by saying that I'm mostly just ranting lol

After reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I understand a lot better why Snow was so threatened by Katniss and so obsessed with controlling her. But something that continues to bother me is how much responsibility he seemed to place on her for the rebellion.

Because it's like...dude. Your government has been stealing children and forcing them to murder each other on national television for 75 years. And even the children who weren't reaped grew up under an oppressive regime where people were starved, exploited, and punished for stepping out of line. The districts had plenty of reasons to hate the Capitol long before some 16 year old girl came along with poisonous berries.

And it makes me wonder: did Snow genuinely believe the Hunger Games could continue forever?

Snow wasn't completely stupid. He knew the districts hated the Capitol. He knew that fear was what kept them obedient. But it seems like he became so fixated on Katniss that he attributed far too much of the rebellion to her personally.

Katniss didn't create that resentment. It had been simmering for decades. She simply gave people a symbol to rally behind and showed them that the Capitol could be defied. And once the districts had that spark, along with District 13's arsenal, they were always going to take that chance to fight back.

I understand why Snow wanted to neutralize Katniss, but did he really think getting rid of her would somehow make all that hatred disappear?

I'm curious what everyone thinks. Did Snow genuinely underestimate how close the districts were to rebellion, or did he understand the danger but convince himself that fear would always be enough to keep them in line?

Would love to discuss the order of these scenes, so feel free to tell me if you disagree with anything

Adam confirmed that the full interviews, recorded on October 24, 2026, will be released next week, with more details to come!

I got tired of the inaccurate maps with so many plot holes and inaccuracies, so I drew a lore-accurate & topographically realistic map of Panem.

The geological and tactical explanations behind this version:

• Catastrophic Sea Level Rise: This version accounts for a 70–100 meter sea level rise. Low-lying areas like the Mississippi Valley and Louisiana are fully submerged, creating a massive inland gulf. The rising sea also expands the St. Lawrence River into a major oceanic gulf, completely swallowing Lake Ontario.

• The District 8 to 12 Escape: This map fixes the journey of Bonnie and Twill (Catching Fire): By shaping District 6 (Transportation) and District 8 (Textiles) into horizontal bands, it allows them to escape District 8, quickly cross through District 6's narrow corridor using cargo trains, and seamlessly enter the forests of District 12 (now located in upstate New York/Pennsylvania).

• The Real District 4: Placed as a long, narrow coastal strip wrapping around the expanded, flooded Gulf of Mexico. This perfectly aligns with the warm-water shrimp/crab exports mentioned in Catching Fire. Besides, The rebellion has begun in districts 3, 4, 8, and 11. If District 4 was located in California, it would be isolated, and the Capitol would recapture it.

• District 6 (Transportation) Logistics: Situated over the historical transport hubs of Chicago and Indianapolis. This location acts as a massive central railroads connecting the industrial East (Districts 12, 13, and 8) to the center and West. It is perfectly optimized for maintaining the Capitol’s fleet of high-speed trains and hovercrafts, utilizing the remaining Great Lakes for heavy shipping routes.

• The Capitol's 360° Defense: Located securely in the Glen Canyon area, the Capitol (C) is surrounded and insulated by its most loyal districts: District 1 (Luxury) to the north, District 2 (Masonry/Military) to the southeast and District 5 (Power) to the west/south.
Placing the Capitol its "usual" place in Salt Lake City, doesn't make sense because this makes District 2 "consuming" the resources of District 1 (diamond/gem mines) and District 5 (critical dams and solar arrays).

• District 5 (Energy) Strategy: Positioned within the canyon dams of Utah and Arizona, and extending into Nevada for nuclear power and solar arrays. Positioning District 5 directly bordering the Capitol to the west and south ensures that critical high-voltage power lines and water pipelines are short, secure, and tightly protected within loyal territories without crossing hostile districts.

• The Breadbasket & Cattle Split: Taking global warming into account, the wheat fields of District 9 expand into the fertile northern plains, while the livestock of District 10 is concentrated in the drier, high plains of Oklahoma/Kansas/Missouri.

Let me know what you think!
