I don't think that the hunger games is like above YA, it is YA and it was this brilliant moment on writing and publishing when for a small second, a small moment we could've had actually interesting and thought provoking books targeted to young adults that didn't treated this group as grown children
But capitalism kicked in and was like :not on my watch!
And anything that made hunger games brilliant was ignored, and all what the publishers saw was that if you give young, white, middle upper class, first world women some power fantasy about being a badass and having two pretty boys fighting for you( despite the fact that this wasn't even a big plot point of hunger games itself)and kill some people to make it look adult, they will throw their money at any mindless trash fantasy without a single thought because they read just for fun and it's not that deep
And because they have all the money and control most of the market, and are the trend starters being annoying booktokers and bookstagramers with shelves upon shelves of books they treat like decoration for their bookgirl-bohemian-darkacademia-manicpixiedreamgirl-core aesthetic, we now are lost in the forever hell of reading another book about Arsenic lavender avocado, the badass with the bow and arrow having to choose between boring tan Caucasian and boring pale Caucasian with some god awful faux conflict in the background just so she can be a badass and kill some people, don't mind that by the end she will become part of the oppressing class, don't mind that the conflict it's just about who has the god given right to rule over others.
DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT THE BOOKS YOU READ
It's just entertainment, go buy another box of the next a noun of nouns and nouns, it will be the same safe and lovely power fantasy to make you forget for 300pages that in any scenario you with all privileges, and your first world problems, and your first world views are the capital
