    ...and yet she pulls the shit she does in the third book anyway, showing no amount of actually contriteness for her actions.

    Anyway the real question is when are we getting an adaptation of The Long Walk?

    If we do, it will probably have as much in common with the story as The Running Man did with the book.

    Except that medically a sociopath can basically be lumped in with psychopath, whereas in common parlance it is often used as shorthand for a person who displays profoundly pathological social tendencies.

    I don't know anything about these books or characters but some level of "sociopathic" behavior in children and adolescents is normal. It's usually only considered a disorder in adults.

    It's been a while since I read the books, and I never watched the movies, but pretending to like Peeta so that they can both get to live doesn't seem sociopathic to me? It's not like she kept the food only for herself. She also could have asked him to die for her at the end and no question he would have done it, but instead she came up with a plan where they could both live.

    She absolutely was not doing it so that they both could live, she was thinking of herself the entire time she was nursing him. She knew that Peeta had feelings for her, but she felt nothing for him.

    It was a life or death situation, I want to say live first, then worry about hurt feelings later.

    I mean you're acting like she did what she did in order to be famous or live in a mansion or something, instead of doing what she did to not die.

    And she still did make a plan where they could both live, instead of tossing him aside as she easily could have done.

    Let me spell it out for you.
    She wants revenge on President Snow for the shit he has put her through. The rebellion at that point is just using her as a rallying force, a celebrity, and not really expecting her to be in the major battle, but to 'contribute' by providing some basic recon near the backline. She then gets her entire squad to follow her on basically a suicide mission through the heart of enemy territory (this is the obviously hamfisted 'I need another thing like the Hunger Games somewhere in this book' part) and each member of her squad is killed one by one until she gets to the estate, still completely consumed by her quest to kill Snow.

    Then the rebels bomb the capitol, including an area where Prim is tending to some wounded people or something, I have no idea how Prim got there. I think the Capitol was using them as hostages?

    Anyway, after killing everyone in her squad for the chance to kill Snow, she and a few others meet to vote on whether they should continue the Hunger Games, except with the Capitol children. They narrowly vote to continue. Katniss acts pretty sure that the rebel President knew Prim was there when they bombed the Capitol. Snow is then lead to a stadium where he is to be executed by Katniss, thus fulfilling the thing that she literally sacrificed the lives of her entire fucking squad to do.

    And she shoots the rebel president through the throat.

    Snow then lets out a laugh before he is gunned down.

    Everything Katniss did is then excused as PTSD and she faces no real consequences for what she did and lives happily ever after.

    Also nobody uses sociopath and psychopath as medical terminology

    Prim was apparently on a combat medic team, despite a conversation earlier stating that she was too young to actually join such a team. It's never explained how she got there and just seemed like a really hamfisted way to get some more sads.

    Maybe be thinking about how you are just using him and how much it will hurt him.

    And her plan was more of a "I just don't give a fuck anymore" than a plan.

    IIRC the bombing of the medics was a false flag op by the rebels to get more people to turn against the capitol.

    That was basically my problem with that whole thing. Also
    since it kinda implies that Katniss wouldn't have been all VENGEANCE mode on the Rebel President if Prim hadn't been there.

    I just don't recall anything that made sense as to how Prim got there.

    Having watched the movies:

    What you're describing doesn't really support that much hate for Katniss in my eyes?
    Also am I supposed to be mad that she killed the Rebel President, because she kinda sucks.

    Also wait they continue the hunger games? That's a bummer.
