Snow: I want to tell you how very sorry I am about your sister.
Me and Taco in unison: Fuck you.

Right. Like let’s just breathe for Finnick because jfc dude was a real hero. Never asked for anything from Katniss

I feel like the movies don’t really touch on this but Castor and Pollux were brothers so that tunnel scene where Castor dies is even more sad. Especially losing Finnick, as well.

Having to take a full pause after Finnick’s death is so real! Probably smart too because the movie doesn’t give you a single second to breathe lol

The way finnick dies hurts even more when you remember what he said when he told his story about being in the capital. He was essentially trafficked by snow. And he died with faceless monsters hands all over him. It was parallel to how the capital forced him to live. 😭 finnick deserved better.

Ok so hear me out. The thing about Snow… he was an antiwar guy. Like from his perspective, that Hunger Games shit was sadistic, but he knew that real war was much much worse. He was so singularly focused on preventing war, he made conditions completely intolerable for his people. I don’t think his motivations were really that bad, he just totally lacked the empathy needed to rule with anything but authoritarianism. If he had more imagination, or better advisors, or fewer personal hangups, he might have succeeded in fixing this society that was obviously broken long before he got there.

Finnick is such a great character because all the stuff that pisses you off about him when you first meet him is the stuff you end up loving. He’s cocky and competent and kinda scary when Katniss sees him as someone she’ll be fighting in the arena. He doesn’t change, it’s just our appreciation of him that changes.

Murder machines, lol. Finick hit me hard, as well. Even more than Prim. It was great watching this with you, Taco.

Absolutely love this franchise. I only got into it a few years ago when I went on a reading binge and picked these up because my sister loved them as a YA.
Fell head first into the fandom and I had a hold on me for years until IWTV came along.
I loved Katniss' character because she's not perfect, flighty and sometimes stupidly naive but also grounded in having to grown up and provide for her family far too early in life. I think like you said she did all of this for her sister and in the end it was her end, but the result for thousands of others was a positive outcome; incredibly bittersweet in the end.
Also, loved book Finnick, Sam did a great job, but the book version had so much depth, especially around his relationship with Katniss in 13. But you can't have everything in a movie!

Book spoilers below 🚨
It's the same, except Book Gale shows less remorse. He says that he and Beetee don't know for sure if it was their bomb, but it doesn't matter because Katniss will always believe it was. She realizes he's right and that she'll never be able to separate that moment from Gale.

Book readers: Is Gale responsible for Prim's death in the book?
I'm starting to recall being FURIOUS about how she wrapped up the love triangle bc it didn't necessitate Katniss actually having to make a choice. Doesn't Gale just choose to go off and continue to help the rebels rebuild or whatever? So he makes the choice, not Katniss,which felt cheap when the books hammered that heart conflict over and over. Am I tripping?
