NS, NF, etc

N!S1 - ...I just had one of those OH GOD AN IMAGE ON THE INTERNETS READ MY BRAIN moments thanks to you.

[(Anonymous)]

This is the first I hear about changing Asha's name. Producers, I am disappoint.

[(Anonymous)]

Why is this such a big deal? I mean sure, I doubt too many people would confuse Asha with Osha, but this is such a minor detail to fuss over. Besides they wouldn't have done it if GRRM wasn't cool with it.

NS3 - I think a lot of people really miss the whole point of Katniss' character. Actually, I think a lot of people really miss the overall point and story of the entire series. She doesn't seem to have emotional depth because she's living in survival mode. The entire story is about the toll war takes on societies and culture and how that will change how a person views the world. She is not an average teenager in our world, she is a teenager from a war-torn dystopian future who has had an extremely different upbringing and traumatic life. There is *so much* emotional depth in the very lack of emotion from that character.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you!

The point was she had locked herself down and focused all of her caring and emotions on her family. Couldn't focus on anything else. And then it was all about the games, which tangentially was still about saving her family and district.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I find people judge these characters by regular standards--the standards they'd judge their friends in everyday life. But the circumstances make things completely different.

It's like the way people see Gale. Most fans judge him very harshly for his rage and willingness to kill Capitol people. But I feel like if all the fans were put in his position, they'd be pretty much the same as he was. He was forced to watch his friends and neighbours get killed in barbaric games for the entertainment of these Capitol people, got whipped to an inch of death for daring to break a rule, and then watched the vast majority of the people in his district get burned and bombed to death. If he was just a guy sitting at home comfortably on his couch, cheering on an army to kill innocent people, then yeah, I'd think he was scum. But wanting vengeance and going a bit too far because of the trauma he suffered? It's a different situation.

So yeah, I don't judge her by regular standards, either.

I SO AGREE. csb but this is one of the reasons why I shipped them - Katniss and Gale are both very clearly a product of their environment. Peeta doesn't read like a District 12 guy at all. Enough so that it even got pointed out in the narration that he came from a place of privilege and unlike many of them he never ever went hungry, but still.

[(Anonymous)]

Right. I didn't really like Katniss, but to say she has no emotional depth and dismiss her is to ignore the overall implications and ramifications of the world that created her.

[cure-light.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you, I was going to come here to say just this.

[(Anonymous)]

N!S2
Yeah I don't really get the hype either. The guy seems to just scream and whine a lot.
By far the funniest Amnesia playthrough I've seen is by Rauski (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheEvilFoxy/videos). Shame that he disappeared from the internet, I'm still a big fan.

[(Anonymous)]

Hell yes, Rauski is the best! :D

N!S1:

Not in the fandom, but I have a question: is the pronunciation of their names extremely different? Because sometimes for some people viewing, they'll be able to separate the faces of the people, but if two completely different characters are speaking about one of them, they might get sounds confused. My mother is like this. Not saying OMG WTF WHY DO YOU CARE? but more like, it might not be them questioning intelligence but hearing.

Of course, if the names SOUND nothing alike, then disregard this.

[adlanth.livejournal.com]

Don't know as I don't think Asha's been mentioned in the first season, but that seems like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me. And even without the problem of hearing, series aren't books. Names are mentioned less often, you have to wait between installments, etc. I could see why people, without being idiots, could forget the name of one character among many from week to the next and be a bit confused. Yes, they could have kept the name, but I don't see it as a huuuuge insult to the viewers.

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

NS1 - MOTHERFUCKING YES. Especially because they never even said Osha's name out loud in the first season, not even once. PRESSED FOREVER

NS3 - that's something I liked about her, actually. She was really emotionally stunted, almost military. How many other teenager girl characters can you think of who are written like that?

[(Anonymous)]

NS3 - Victorique from Gosick, maybe?

[(Anonymous)]

Actually a number of YA fantasy heroines in the…90s iirc? Moreso than Katniss. I think they've gotten more emotional over the years actually…but that could be my memory.

[(Anonymous)]

N!S2: ...Because people have different sense of humor?
N!S3: This made me laugh - thanks. =3

N!F: ...Um, little late to be announcing that, isn't it?

Golden Compass Fans: Are you new?
