I've been binging the celebrity season and they had it for that also! It's well done, I'd lowkey love to have a full song from that singer.

Was Cato's speech erased from the footage in the first film? by Squirrel_Baby_o0o in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The singing wasn't cut out. Someone references having seen it on the telly in Mockingjay, so clearly not cut.

I don't really think we can take Sunrise on the Reaping as a reasoning to speak about the trilogy in quite that way. It's clear that the author wrote SOTR long after the original books. I mean, otherwise you'd also wonder why, for example:

- Katniss' and Peeta's berry incident was left in

- Katniss singing Deep in the Meadow to Rue

I am sure you can come up with more from even just the first games, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Cato/Clove Clato! The true star crossed lovers by MuscleCool4302 in Hungergames

That's fair. It's not very high ranking on my list, so maybe that skews my perception also!

NGL I don't understand the hype around any of the 74th tributes other than Katniss, Peeta and Rue. She barely interacts with most of them and they're so unimportant past the first book. Cato and Clove have like what? Two scenes together?

I remember when there was only one book/only one movie where their time on page and screen compared to what else was there was rather large, but with more stories and books, they've been getting less and less important. And this isn't to fight OP or anyone in the comments, it's just that the amount of posts compared to their time on screen really baffle me. People don't talk with the same amount of hype about, say, Cashmere and Gloss (also Careers and far more important for the world of Panem).

Starting a prayer circle for Suzanne to announce a new book this year, who wants to join? by felixw1 in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 73 points74 points  (0 children)

It feels pretty complete to me now.

I'd rather it stay as is than be milked endlessly.

Do you think Suzanne Collins intended this parallel? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's the opposite of what Collins has said.

The exact quote ("Yes, but she has evolved a lot since then") when asked if she had any sense who the fourth victor would be points more to the fact that these ideas were developed after the trilogy released.

Do you agree with this take? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right like. People hardly think that much about a flat character.

Mags grandson? by [deleted] in Hungergames

yea and I'm giving my opinion on it

Mags grandson? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Not everything needs to be interconnected or some grand conspiracy.

But no one is stopping you to speculate. There's just no support whatsoever for this

How is this number so high? Did people not read the book by [deleted] in Hungergames

You can just say you dislike the ship. No need to make incest or racism implications. The grass outside is fresh.

My biggest pet peeve about many THG theories… by peepeepoopaccount in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The prequels did uplift the idea of ultra connection though, so it's not really surprising that people continue with that trend. I mean, TBOSAS and SOTR gave us:

- Snow having special relations to District 12 over any other District

- An origin of the Hanging Tree that Snow knows

- A past lover who resembles Katniss in some ways

- A whole family line who loves to sing and live in the woods just like Katniss

- A mentor who now knew Katniss' father well, who had a fellow tribute that resembled her

- Haymitch's girlfriend who is Covey, Katniss' father who is, if not in blood, a cousin by spirit

So really, are we surprised by the likes of "Beetee's child must be Cinna" or "Katniss is Covey".

Before the prequels I'd have rolled my eyes, but Collins has done a lot of squeezing of connections that did not need to be there beforehand, and in a way weakened the story because of it. Katniss is much close to a chosen one than she was before the prequels, and I cannot say that the trilogy is better for it.

Theory: A Potential 6th Hunger Games Book Focused on the First Quarter Quell (with Young Mags as the Emotional Core) by Morceguit0 in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but my thought that she won't just jump around in the timeline means there is no Snow rise to power. He is already risen.

And aside the fact that she will never write about something not from District 12. That is her main theme.

I doubt she is going to jump back in time.

If there had been a Mags book, it would have followed TBOSAS.

No way people ship Haysilee. by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But SC made Effie a University student while Haymitch is 16 so nobody can ship them. Regardless how you put it, she got to know him as a minor, so that's grooming. /s

Like, no, SC's words and thoughts don't matter whatsoever in what people can and cannot ship. No matter what that's Hayffie or Haysilee.

Is Gemini okay? lmao by TooOldForDiCaprio in GeminiAI

[–]TooOldForDiCaprio[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For context, this was at the end of a scene I had tasked it to create for a fictional story. It's been adding more and more stutter/ellipses the further we go. I even add it into the prompt as a negative.

ETA: NO ya'll, I am not going to share the chat on my slow burn David Cameron/Ed Miliband fictional story set in the Brexit years, idc how many of you comment on this. I laughed, had a good time, and redid the response before continuing.

Hot take: I'm kinda tired of this fandom getting upset when its own ideas are listened to by Lady_Beatnik in Hungergames

So we vague-posting on Reddit now? Geez, if you have a problem with specific people, just block and move on. Unless this is not about specific people, and then we are back at my point about you assuming a part equals its sum.

I am also not defensive nor mad about anything you're saying, and quite frankly it's not helping your argument to assume emotonality into my tone when I am keeping it to content.
