Now that the dust has settled, what do we think of the new Hunger Games?
tv is a better format for the IP, not sure why they thought a movie would do well. also, suzanne collins is an awful writer.
>not sure why they thought a movie would do well
Is this homie for real?
>8 years since the end of the trilogy
>a prequel that no one was asking for
>cast of literal WHOs
>in the process of flopping
what is confusing you
It's a $3 billion franchise, what studio would just sit on that?
>muh franchise
It’s a 3 book series with a concrete beginning middle and end. There’s nothing else to do with it
Remaining forgotten would be better for the IP that’s a shitty YA novel rip off of Battle Royale
>the IP that’s a shitty YA novel rip off of Battle Royale
Hunger Games actually makes sense, though. The Hunger Games happens because Panem is a totalitarian dictatoship that takes place hundreds of years in the future, possibly the only functioning country on the planetafter global nuclear wars & a post apocalypse period. That, & the worldbuilding of the Hunger Games makes it clear that there is an infrastructure in place where it all makes sense.
>An unspecified time before the events of the story, the Earth was devastated by climate change and global nuclear war(s) that led to the collapse of modern civilization. Surviving populations that survived this initial calamity were further decimated by the subsequent nuclear winter and catastrophic ecological events that followed, which Katniss states were droughts, fires, storms, and rising sea levels.
In Battle Royale, the Japanese govt is cartoonishly evil, & the rest of the world is okay with it... because?
the other anon probably doesn't even know that Battle Royale is a very hamfisted work of social commentary. I like it a lot but there is zero subtlety in it's messaging
>In Battle Royale, the Japanese govt is cartoonishly evil, & the rest of the world is okay with it... because?
kino
>hunger games makes more sense because it’s a dystopian society set hundreds of years after the world was destroyed by le climate catastrophe
Wow it uses worldbuilding a 14 year old would come up with to justify a silly concept and make it less fun
Bravo Collins
>heh, other fans of this movie probably don’t even understand it like I do
have a nice day pseud, literally no one has ever claimed BR is a great work of social commentary people like it because it’s fun
>no one has ever claimed BR is a great work of social commentary
>people like it because it’s fun
I think it's both. "Great" might be an overstatement, but there's certainly some kind of alegorical value. A bunch of young adults/older kids thrown to the meatgrinder of the modern adult world. The adults seem either explicitly in on it, or otherwise indifferent to their suffering. Because they don't understand that the adults are already dead inside from going through it themselves longer than most of the kids have been alive.
Then there's Kitano's stated motivations and rationale. It has some depth.
I agree, it’s just all very silly and blatant and that’s why I like it
I don’t know what post was yours but it was either
>hunger games is like way more deep and dark and serious because it’s set in le generic dystopian YA novel world with the most uninteresting teenagers fantasy of a futuristic authoritarian government imaginable
or
>Other people don’t understand BR’s commentary isn’t subtle like I do (even though literally everyone who’s seen it does and I’m actually a fricking moron desperate to convince myself I understand something others don’t by sharing my delusions about others beliefs)
Either way me sperging out does nothing to strengthen it and you’re just being an idiot again, I could start crying and reeeing and smearing shit on the walls and you’d still come out looking like the moron
>Either way me sperging out does nothing to strengthen it and you’re just being an idiot again, I could start crying and reeeing and smearing shit on the walls and you’d still come out looking like the moron
I don't think you'll be proud of this pathetic look in the future, dude.
Hilarious that you have no argument so you’re just gonna come after the form of my posts without acknowledging the content, on a website known for people acting like morons and screeching slurs at each other
>I don't think you'll be proud of this pathetic look in the future, dude.
I’m not going to think about a random Cinemaphile thread at any point in the future but I’m sure you’ll be content on your deathbed remembering how the absolutely moronic points you made on a Chinese paper crane folding forum were made with pure passive aggressive seethe which made you feel superior to the people who were just aggressive
I said I didn’t know what post was yours but now it’s obvious it was this one
. Pure sad midwit behaviour that has to utterly delude himself into thinking he’s anything other than mediocre by pretending other people believe things they don’t and acting passive aggressive/socially restrained on a consequenceless anonymous forum as if it lends credibility to your moronic post
>I’m not going to think about a random Cinemaphile thread at any point in the future
Given how you're so mad you're making long rants in every post, I know you actually will. Just like how I know you look like pic related.
>I said I didn’t know what post was yours but now it’s obvious it was this one
Actually, I'm
It's funny how mad you are just because I said Battle Royale is dumb. Dang, dude!
>Given how you're so mad you're making long rants in every post, I know you actually will
>It's funny how mad you are just because I said Battle Royale is dumb
I was actually mad about something completely unrelated irl and took it out on you for being dumb but it's just been resolved and I'm in a good mood now
Happy holidays moron-kun I hope you create cherished memories with your friends and family
Your saltiness & immaturity only strengthens my previous post.
>people like it because it’s fun
This is the sort of shit you'd expect to hear from a capeshit enthusiast.
Watching the avengers fight 10000 CGI aliens animated by the Indians the SFX was outsourced to while making unfunny millennial redditor humour quips is not fun that’s just a shitty justification for it. That’s like writing off a movie described as atmospheric because it “sounds like something an A24 fan would say”
Battle Royale is actually fun, you’re a moron for thinking that’s a bad way to describe a movie
Having read catching fire and mockingjay recently I can confirm she’s not a good writer, I kinda chuckled at the dedication at the end in which she admitted to having been tard wrangled by a small army during the publishing process, which explains a lot. One scene that was telling in particular was when the mountain is bombed in mockingjay and how casually she skims over it, despite it being an important scene, almost like she didn’t have the chops to describe what was going on at that point.
I read the whole series in a weekend and I was yelling at the book the whole time. She had an opportunity to mold the kids of the future but in the end all you can take from the books is
>CAPITALISM.... BAD!
>COMMUNISM.... BAD!
>UHHHH..... JUST BE YOURSELF?
and we wonder why zoomers are so pathetic
>she
is Hunter playing both characters ?
>BABE, NEW GROTESQUELY MASCULINE HUNTER PIC JUST DROPPED
I don't think about the hunger games.
Did they really have sex hormones and gender transition doctors in this world? Or is Hunter canonically biologically female?
Hunger Games is the only series where trannies fit in with the degenerate culture of the elites. Hunters character eventually becomes a furgay.
>As the Games started to develop over the years, implementing new rules and aspects of the games, she was eventually picked to become a stylist for the tributes for an unknown district. Katniss had remarked that she remembers Tigris from the earliest games she could remember. Throughout the years, Tigris started to get surgical enhancements, specifically to alter her looks to look somewhat like a tiger getting face and arm tattoos, flattening her nose and getting some of the largest whiskers Katniss had ever seen from a Capitol citizen.[
dem man hands tho
What are the chances that the tiger looking furgay is called Tigris?
zegler cute
Imagine being an actor auditioning for the role of someone who has a wife/female love interest and on the day of the scrip reading the director shows you who they hired for the female role and it’s some dude in a dress. I would quit on the spot.
Perfect casting for the evil degenerate culture on the verge of collapse.
It’s only 64 years after the fact that it collapses though
The dust hasn’t settled.
>they named the modge' Highbottom
Absolutely lmao
Why is that dude wearing women clothing?
That red kilt-looking thing is the Academy uniform.
I was talking about the other dude wearing pink
That's a woman.
aragorn in tavern
Sorry anon, but that's a man
It flopped
Kino production design
WTF bros?! Snow is a troony chaser? But he was /ourguy/!!! How could they do this to us?
No self respecting Cinemaphilener saw this movie let alone the sequels to the first unless it was with a woman
I watched it for Huntie. It was actually p good tho
i read all 3 books and saw all 3 movies when i was younger. didn't even enjoy them that much and i especially hated 90% of the books. just enjoyed the concepts and ideas. they're like solid 5/10 movies. the books are nearly unreadable
Who is the girl on the left, ima jerk off to her vag.
I didn't and won't watch it. Just post sexy Hunters at me.
