Neither was she said to be “light-skinned”. Also, just because her mother and sister are blonde-haired, blue-eyed and, as you assumed, light-skinned, doesn’t mean Katniss will share the same physical trait.

She was described as having olive skin-tone, which I imagined looked like a light-brown skin tone. She also had black hair, short in stature and was malnourished.

All I’m saying is, as I was reading the book, I was imagining a female person of color as a face of a nationwide revolution against an oppressive government. That’s pretty rare compared to white-skinned leads that I see/read in today’s media. It was just something new and unique to me; to see this character’s journey.

I might have had a different expectation of what they were going to do in the movie and I might have had a different interpretation of the character. So when I heard that a white actress received the part, I was pretty disappointed. But I didn’t entirely hate their choice. I was glad that it went a great actress like Jennifer Lawrence.

I mean, if I was ever in the Hunger Games, I would join the careers to gain their trust and kill them in their sleep.

it was alright.

and step away from all these Hunger Games posts. They are taunting me.

aangthesweetie:

but I don’t get the hype behind The hunger games…

it seems like the story concept is very similar to Battle Royal…

I just don’t understand the hype for stories like that..

yeah, the concept in THG is pretty similar to Battle Royale.

but I’m more excited for it as a franchise because in the following books, the story dives into something bigger and more interesting.

Jennifer Lawrence is soo awkward. Especially when she was in the ‘Late show with David Letterman’.
