He wasn't supposed to be sympathetic.

His romance was toxic. His views were toxic. His friendships were toxic.

He's a horrible person. He was always a horrible person. He's depicted as a horrible person.

If you think the prequel exists to make him more sympathetic, you missed the point.

Showing reasons for a person ending up the way they did just adds reason for what they grew into, it doesn't necessarily make them sympathetic.

Wasn't that made clear enough with Gale? Or the final vote between the Victors in the main trilogy??

Disclaimer: I haven't watched the film, I read the book. He wasn't sympathetic at all. He was a whiner, he was shitty about his classmates, he was shitty to Sejanus, he felt a sense of ownership over Lucy Gray, he was icky from the start. He just wanted to win. It was social and financial.
