I WILL BE FOREVER SALTY THAT THEY CUT THAT SSCENE WITH RUE AND KATNISS IN THE TREE!! Not only does it show their bond, but it shows Katniss with genuine feelings for Peeta, and that Peeta literally saved Katniss! Also the d11 bread and pseudo phallic rooftop scene of Peeta saying he never meant for Katniss to see 'that'! Lmao jkjk but that scene is so sweet! Instead we get cut always to Gale brooding and chicken bones in d12. And where is my painting scene and Peeta putting out the fire!?
Honestly, I was waiting for my fellow salt deposit to show up in my ask lol! I was like okay, Clayton’s currently lurking around and I just reblogged a better/cute interpretation of the real or not real scene, and hella deleted scenes. WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE lol.
So yes good this is good, because as usual, I’m up there in the sodium chloride party with you.
The Katniss and Rue scene is the scene I’m the most upset about them cutting. It had so much character and relationship dynamic in it. Not only did it amplify Katniss’ protectiveness over Rue, but it showed Katniss’ gentle maternal side as well. Or perhaps the same kind of sisterly love Katniss experienced for Rue that was portrayed in the books.
And aside from developing their relationship, it also developed eVERLARK’S AS WELL. Because ajfksljdkasa Katniss was never able to deny her feelings for Peeta; she simply skated around them. And when she came to the realization that he saved her, you could see the little spark light inside of her. Like wow you can see that Peeta gENUINELY CARES FOR KATNISS AND SHE NOTICED.
…Not that I’m salty or anything…*Twitch*
And omfg the rooftop scene has now made Everlark showering together in CF canon honestly lol. I don’t get why that scene was deleted either honestly? It was another sweet moment that showed the devloping feelings between Katniss and Peeta, their developing relationship. It showed that Katniss is attentive enough to remember a lot about Peeta, that she IS indeed the one paying attention.
And I don’t think it was too romantic or anything if that’s what Francis/whoever else is in charge of keeping scenes in was worried about??? Like it was about on the same level as the “favorite color” scene. Soooooo??????
But yeah no. Why have character development when you can have #ForeverGalone pouting alone in a field for a few moments, an extra Galoneniss (lol) kiss that was in no way necessary for any development at all or did anything to push the plot forward, Seneca and Snow sitting in a tree out in rose garden talking about…exposition, and Haymitch and Seneca talking about….exposition.
AND YEAH NO I’M STILL WILLING TO SELL MY FIRST BORN CHILD AND MY LIMBS TO GET THOSE MORPHLING AND FIRE PUTTING-OUT SCENES TOO.
I just….the choice of scenes to include in a movie makes no sense to me sometimes lol. Like how in the world was that…more important tHAN THAT?
