    Weird for there to be a DC crossover with Amanda Waller...

    Being unaware this movie was coming and thinking the book trilogy was done I went a googling to find that in 2017 Lionsgate said "We want more movies" so Suzanne Collins said "Okay, I'll write another book I guess" and so an unplanned prequel book was born to give the Hollywood machine a prequel movie to run on and see if they've beaten this horse to death yet.

    I like the aesthetic at least.

      I don’t really care for Hunger Games. None of the movies are particularly good and the last two were pretty bad I’d say. But it feels like a relic of another time, back when YA adaptations were still viable.

        I read the book recently and really enjoyed it. I can see how it's reason for being written feels forced but the book itself didn't feel forced at all. It's firmly within the YA genre but was an enjoyable read with a interesting insight into the background of the world of the Hunger games 60 years earlier.
