the hunger games is really fucking important to me okay i have SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT IT AS THIS SURPRISE BREAKOUT FILM FRANCHISE

because it is a FEMALE-LED ACTION FILM that puts literally all the agency on the main character who just happens to be a female and it turns gender stereotypes on its head because PEETA is the one who bakes and katniss hunts BUT THERE ARE STILL AWESOME CHARACTERS WHO ARE FEMALE AND TRADITIONALLY FEMININE AND MASCULINE CHARACTERS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY MASCULINE AS WELL and

the fact that this franchise is doing so well is a fucking no-brainer to us but like for the first time it’s showing studio heads and the male ptb that girls can carry action films and be actual 3D characters and not be relegated to the role of love interest

and they can be real characters and be strong and vulnerable and in love and not in love and whatever the fuck they want and people will still go see the movie because THE FACT THAT IT’S A FEMALE CHARACTER MATTERS LESS THAN THE FACT THAT KATNISS IS A FULLY FLESHED OUT CHARACTER

and maybe, just maybe, the ptb will realize that it isn’t just a fluke and maybe start taking that into consideration and maybe, just maybe, realizing that female-led action films are a thing that can be successful and great

i just have a lot of feelings
