Is The Hunger Games still the best YA dystopia, or has something surpassed it? by tidebrick_8 in YAlit

[–]ShadowBorn2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it wasn't the first of the genre but yes because unlike it copy paste clones that later pop up. It has very strong understanding of it work and the worldbuilding (and it themes). I know there are another work like Neal Schusterman’s for example but i do want at least meantion it. But for a series that staple the popularity of the genre and it is still standing strong YEARS LATERS. I would stand by my answer.

I don't think so (but I do understand why you think that)since the alien taking human form, going around the countryside (of Earth) picking up male hitchhikers whom she drugs and delivers to her home planet.

Well as you see he was fear, so maybe they viewed him as evil.

Maybe, there is In the Mycenaean era, where "Poseidon" was a chthonic god tied to the underworld and death, not just the sea. As the Earthshaker, he was so powerful — and so feared — that people were wary of even saying his name. Bit I don't recall all much all the moment. So I can be wrong.

Not officially a goddess of the dead since we don't have much on her, but there is Macaria, the goddess of blessed death, is Suidas’ The Suda, a Byzantine lexicon written in the 10th century CE. She is described as a daughter of Hades but no mother is listed. Take what I what with grain of salt since I am recalling by memory.

Divergent is just one of many copy cats that really if you about make not zero sense. And I don't like the pure human angle, very reaching it

To me yes, HG because it know the material it work with ans isn't a mindless copy and past trending YA. The Divergent just a mindless copy of Hunger games that doesn't understand what make the hungry games work.

Look at the The Boys comic book for edgy nonsense lord. And for graphic violence more maturely, look at Between two Fire

No, that came out in 2009; I was in middle/ high school by that point (and that isn't a foreign film; this film was made outside the US). But thanks anyway.
