This isn't reassuring about the fandom. I haven't seen the movie yet i read the books but I Just Dont Care about either Peeta or Gale as anything other than plot devices?

I'm concerned I'm the only one who's all "yeah man, kick ass and survive Katniss! oh yeah, save those guys but whatevs KATNISS"

[(Anonymous)]

Well, when you consider the fact that much of fandom is young women and girls, it's easy to see why all attention is focused on romance and how the boys effect everything, rather than the kickassery of Katniss. Which is sad, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, because of course girls are going to want to see the stupid romance plots that are always their only option if they have a main character, rather than see a girl actually kick ass for once.

[(Anonymous)]

Does she, though? I got into the series because I thought she would, and around the second instalment she had devolved completely into a figure head with very limited agency which she doesn't really use that much. I don't blame the character, I blame this trend to set up strong heroines and then Beat Them Down as hard as you can, though I suppose I can be grateful she wasn't gratuitously and descriptively raped.

I liked that she didn't conform to either of society's "female hero" stereotypes. Meaning, she wasn't some objectified girl solely for boys to rescue, but she also wasn't a kickass-all-the-time robot who was perfect and never had to admit to being wrong. Katniss was different. She has flaws. She has huge, massive, gaping wounds. And her flaws do define her. After what she went through, the emotional and physical stress, violence, and torture, she had every right to bread down. Wouldn't you? That's what makes her so relatable. That's why I enjoyed her as a kickass lead. Not because she was kickass 100% of the time without failure, but because she showed that you can be a human, a woman, a kickass person, and still fail. And you can recover.

(Even if, personally, I had hoped for a better recovery. I get why Collins went with the realistic approach, but I think it might have been a better message if there had been a bit more of a happy ending.)

Frankly Anon, I had pretty much the same reaction. I'm okay with Petta, don't like Gale much after the two last books.... but I really don't care about the romance at all. In fact, the reason it took me so long before I decided to read the books was because the friend who tried to get me to read them made me mistake of mentionning a love triangle while she was describing the story.

All I wanted was to see Katniss kicking some ass. Was pretty glad to see how much they downplayed the romance in the movie.

Me three anon.

I too was scared off for a bit by the love triangle advertisements - but I was pleasantly surprised by the books and it wasn't as prevalent as I thought it would be. I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't comment on it.

It's all Katniss POV too, so a lot of it's her thoughts on how to survive, how others can survive, what Katniss is doing and - yeah sometimes thoughts of confusion about the guys which I can't blame her for, but thankfully not her thoughts 24/7. So you can gloss over them if you want.

(Although I loved her playing the crowd with Peeta for the sponsorship. Felt kind of bad for Peeta, but hey it kept them both alive. Fast thinking? /not a shipper for any pairing in THG)
