It was a fairly bleak scene all things considered.
THIS

I dislike that argument because I felt the tone of the epilogue was so disheartening and empty that it made perfect sense. One of the reasons that I considered Katniss such a unique and strong character was that she was beaten by the experience. She wasn't a superhero capable of overcoming anything. She was a person who had everything she cared about stripped away from her in a cruel and violent manner, and she was deeply affected by it.

This, to me, is what makes Katniss a feminist character. She wasn't weak, nor was she impossibly strong.

Because of this, I feel liker her disconnection to her life in the epilogue made having kids almost an arbitrary decision to her. And even if she loved them, they didn't exactly bring light into her life.

Sorry, been holding that in for a bit.

That's how I felt about it, too. It has a few elements of a typical "happy ending," but when you look below the surface, it's actually pretty damn depressing. Katniss and Peeta both have obvious PTSD and Peeta's still hijacked, they've both lost their families (Katniss' mother is still alive, but she's in another district and not coming back) and a good many of their friends, Haymitch is drunk as ever and their kids are playing on a mass grave. Where's the happy part?
