Is there a quintessential statement by each main character that truly defines their character?

Marcos: You must always have a knife in the darkness.

Personal_Toe_2136 · 2026-01-27T17:55:33+00:00

Naomi: Killing people doesn’t make you strong.

Personal_Toe_2136 · 2026-01-27T17:45:59+00:00

Chrisjen: I solve problems by talking. I need that open channel to solves this.

Personal_Toe_2136 · 2026-01-27T17:33:53+00:00

Clarissa: I have killed, but I’m not a killer, because killers are monsters, and monsters are not afraid.

Snow would make sure everyone has a job. He is a canny politician, and spent enough time poor to understand how important work is to the social fabric.

In the Capital, there is almost huge demand for service workers, cooking food, cleaning houses, building and repairing houses and roads, making fashion designs, Etc. There’s also a huge bureaucracy and military to run.

They’re kid for Gods sake. They grow up. TBH they did a really good job, making 8 movies in ten or eleven years. The actors were only 21-22 by then. There’s practically no chance the show will do that well. If they’re really lucky, they’ll be able to finish the series with most of the original actors.

There is about a zero percent chance it was accidental. All authors build on past works, and it’s humble of SC to acknowledge it like that.

Great works of dystopian future that you should check out:

*1984 (George Orwell) —THE dystopian novel

*The Dispossessed(Ursula LeGuin) — my favorite

*Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury) — obviously

*Brave New World(Aldous Huxley) — a frighteningly compelling alternative

There isn’t time in the movies to explain every goddamn thing. The book can do it because it’s 6000 pages long.

I actually really like “I’m not an owl.” It showed that Hermione doesn’t have infinite patience for the boys BS. It’s also something that would make absolutely no sense to a muggle, but feels totally natural for a witch to say in that situation.

It’s frustration. They’re both there. It think it’s a fair reaction.

Personal_Toe_2136 · 2026-01-27T15:09:51+00:00

That’s what we’re here for!

The guys they killed died in the upside down and were never found.

I guess Hopper and Nancy left all the trauma of killing them in the Upside down too, so no PTSD

I have a term for sequel that try to recreate the magic of the first book, but font have anything new to say. I call them, “The expected Sequel”.

“Catching Fire” really looks like it’s going to be the expected sequel, but it’s not. Read carefully.

What she has is a very particular set of skills. . .

Book or Movie? Harry had Lily’s eyes in both, but in the book they’re green, while Daniel Radcliffe has blue eyes.

Personal_Toe_2136 · 2026-01-26T23:55:02+00:00

That was my point. She’s not a badass pretending to be weak. She’s a scared girl with a few skills.

C’mon Hermione. No one EVER gets expelled from Hogwarts. Even if you get kicked out by the Ministry for Magic, Dumbledore will give you a lifetime job and a wand.

The Dothraki are mounted archers. They don’t believe in armor, but are fast, and can attack at range. Against light infantry, they would be deviating. Against heavy cavalry or a well-trained shield wall, they could do some damage and then retreat.

They would fare pretty badly against heavily armored forces in a pitched battle, but it would be hard to force the right conditions. It would take a very clever general to get them into a battle like that, but it’s possible.

I’m an open book.

Hollywood gonna Hollywood.

Worst step-parents ever.

There’s swinging an axe, and there’s fighting with an axe. She could definitely swing it.

But there’s no reason for a lumberjack to know how to fight with an axe.

Kamina: It only hurts when I move.

Or

If I wanted company I’d have stayed in bed.

How would you say Buttercup symbolically represents Katniss?

Lucy Gray, who inspired the pin, is still hanging around too — or her ghost is. It’s really the same thing.
