The thing I find frustrating about this video is that you have no problem with how attractive Tom Blyth is in regards to his performance of Coriolanus Snow. But you have a problem with Lucy Gray being pretty. You said you think she is too beautiful considering she is part of the working class. Lucy Gray literally survived because of her beauty, it even says so in one of her songs “you went to the dogs and I lived by my charms.” I encourage you to read the book because I believe it would change your opinion about Coriolanus Snow and see how he is so demented even before his “switch”.

Brit, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of Coriolanus. He never loved Lucy. He finds her embarassing to him, inappropriate, to him she is just a tool to climb the social ladder and then a toy to play with out of spite. He wants to own her and puppet her. The MOMENT she stops being of any use to him and becomes a potential loose thread he HUNTS HER DOWN, the same way he kills Seanus. He is a narcissist with zero potential to love.

lucy gray is a performer in the book- and just like the movie, she sings when she has something to say, and she always has something to say because she’s a strong and intelligent woman. she’s also seen as attractive by everyone, and coriolanus even specifies the first time he sees her that her makeup would be super popular in the capitol (if i’m not mistaken). since she’s covey she travels a lot and isn’t supposed to be “normal”. even if she was from 12, she’s always been a baddie and Rachel did a phenomenal job at embodying that.

This is one of the worst takes about Lucy Gray, I think you should read the book before you speak on it again. Rachel Zegler NAILED the role. She was always an independent thinker, she was part of the covey which don’t identify with the districts. She was always gritty and strong. She is like katniss where they both HAD to do what they had to do to survive, if you want to interpret that as “girlboss” I think you are very mistaken. They are not fighting for their life because they are women, but because they had to SURVIVE. Also, Lucy Gray’s whole thing was being a performer who was the “song bird” of the district, she and her covey would perform every night or so for the district. Rachel is absolutely stunning and she is the perfect person to have been Lucy Gray, her voice, her acting, and her aura nailed it.

I just feel like she got misled by her friend who read the book. Lucy Gray in the books is way WAAAAY louder and energetic and opinionated, mothered so hard. Rachel Zegler is amazing but obviously, she was toned down in the movie because idk how they'd fit so much of that personality in less than three hours of a movie that's focused on another character. But Lucy Gray is definitely not "girlbossing" in both the books and the movie and if anything, she was TONED DOWN in the movie. Her character's personality is also very much complex as well, something that I think Rachel Zegler portrayed so well even with only limited appearances. She's smart, she's cunning, sassy, sarcastic, very strong-willed and knows what she wants. But she's also very caring and soft and sentimental where she gives and does so much for her family and she isn't afraid to show that softness and vulnerability to the people she trusts and also not ashamed to ask help. She's such a transparent and kind girl, just everything. I hope Brittany reads the book.

Lucy Gray was beautiful but she was supposed to be different from the boring and grey people in District 12 since she only got stuck there when she was traveling for music. She technically was not from that district. 3. I would love another prequel movie but I want to see another games. I would love to see Haymitch’s games when he won. He was the winner of the 50th Hunger Games (2nd Quarter Quell), and won against twice as many people since they reaped two pairs of men and women that year. I just know those games were INSANE and it can show us how Haymitch won and how he got to his present day- alcoholic self that we know.

Umm she completely ATE the French National Anthem in French. Slay.

It's really interesting the way that some people interpret the film adaptation and create their own understandings. Because Lucy Gray and Coryo fell in love in the book slowly but surely because of Lucy Gray's background in her family/culture dynamic but also it was her personality to be a little flirtatious. But also the book (obviously) carries a lot of background and creates so many answers that you never even knew you had questions to in the Hunger Games' original trilogy. I truly believe that Rachel Zegler did an absolutely fantastic job and accurately portrayed Lucy Gray. She was rebellious and as so many have put it (including Rachel) "she was a performer forced to fight".

You didn't seem to understand the book either, lol. Coryo never truly loved her.

As someone from the very rural area of Kentucky, I really appreciated Rachel's Appalachian accent and the inclusion of bluegrass/folk music. It may seem very cringe or weird to others, but it was a nice representation of our culture that usually is mocked or looked down on.

I hear a lot of people say that rachel zeglers “southern accent” was really bad but i think that it was definitely supposed to be an Appalachian accent.

girl have u read tbosas??? that take about lucy gray was not it AT ALL. snow was just as weird and fucked up in the movie as he was in the book i dont get why he got the straight women in heat like this

I usually agree with Brittany's opinions, but in this case I would recommend reading the book and then going back and re-watching the movie (a recommendation I make to everyone since its one of the best prequels I've ever read). I actually think Lucy Gray was portrayed extremely well in the film. The whole book is from Coriolanus's perspective, so she's a bit hard to pin down in the books beyond his interpretation of her. But Rachel Zegler brings the charm and grit that the character would need for the sequence of events to make sense. Her personality also makes sense given her background as a performer. I really don't think she's a girl boss in the same way that Katniss isn't either; they are both resilient survivors forced into an awful situation. I don't think Lucy Gray is ever described as shy in the books, maybe scared (she is, after all, about to go into the hunger games). Her accent is also Appalachian, which is what most/all of District 12 would sound like if the films were book accurate due to the region specificities. Overall, these books and movies are more allegories than anything else, and the point is to critique society, especially the entertainment industry.

I think what's fascinating about the movie compared to the book is that without snow's inner monologue in the movie it seems as though his struggle is to be better than the system and to fight against the urge to be 'evil' whereas I'd say in the book with the benefit of hearing his thoughts throughout it's actually the opposite. The urges we see him resisting and fighting against in the book are those of empathy and compassion. He HATES to feel any of those natural good human impulses of caring about other people because they put his sense of control in peril and he desperately needs to feel in control at all times. In the end it feels less like he gives into darkness and more like he wins his personal battle against his own humanity, succeeding in gaining even greater control of his life by shutting off those empathetic impulses and becoming fully part of the system so he can rise up to the top of it and assume the ultimate position of power over everything.

Hunger Games & TBOSB&S are such incredible literary fiction - Brittany, I genuinely think you should read them and discuss further in more podcasts. They include powerful parallels to our time. I think you would have a different feeling about Lucy Gray if you read the books.

i fully disagree with some of the things you said about the film... district 12 is the poorest district, of course she's skinny, they're starving. also one of the reasons the capitols love lucy is because she's so pretty. snow is charmed by her beauty. also why is it okay for tom to be crazy hot but distracting when rachel is?... aaaaand the working class can be beautiful as well? lucy stands out for her talent and beauty.

I recently rewatched the hunger games movies after so many years and I had the same realization that we are slowly becoming more similar to the society in the hunger games universe, it's scary

if shes a damsel in distress shes a pick me, if shes strong, shes being girlbossified??? Also you wanted her to look like a normal person....?? But it's okay for tom blythe or whatever to be hot?

I want a book following tigress - that way it’s a new story but we get to see snow from her perspective and how his image changes in her mind. We could learn more about the fashion industry in the Capitol and how she became a stylist and then her decent into heavy plastic surgery. Her story would be so interesting.

As far as the girlbossification of Lucy gray, katniss was also heavily girlbossed in the movie vs the book. Book katniss is very much just a girl which I loved.

not reading the book and instead going based off of what your friend said, to then say that lucy gray is “too pretty” to then spending the entire video thirsting over tom blyth is definitely a choice. and it’s a fucking bad one

Ditto! It felt off at moments, but I know from growing up in the rural Ozarks that there is really no such thing as a standard accent. When my family (who all were born and raised within an 50-mile radius of one another) get together, we sound like such a rainbow of dialects that an outsider would probably assume we come from all over the country. Lucy Gray being a traveler could have something to do with her inconsistent accent, too; maybe she’s just picked up bits and pieces from all the places she wandered through before she got stuck in District 12.

brittany read tbosas yourself please before making these comments !! lucy gray is FAR from quiet and very much has been girlboss since the beginning. also to me snow isnt seeing lucy gray in katniss but he sees HIMSELF in her! and so i think he sees lucy gray in peeta

Brittany loves to say she's pro-women, but chooses to tear down other women who are consistently delivering good-quality performances. She's a very big supporter of Jacob Elordi, she even mentions it in this episode, and recently Jacob Elordi and Rachel Zegler have been talked about together in the media because they were asked a very similar interview question, and responded in the same way. However, Jacob Elordi was praised for his answer, while Rachel Zegler received hate for hers... I guarantee you Brittany would react the same way, praising Jacob Elordi and denouncing Rachel Zegler if she came across these interviews before the hypocritical comparisons were drawn.

After my dad passed I could literally feel him with me for months. And very specific things would happen that I knew was him ‘talking’ to me. Therapy really helps. Even in group sessions (usually cheaper or you can even find for free sometimes) I still talk to my dad a few times a week and ask for help or guidance. Grieve comes in waves and will hit you sometimes when you least expect it. It doesn’t ‘get better’ necessarily but it just becomes the new normal and that’s ok.

Love you Brittany but your take on TBOSAS is just so so wrong. I think you'd change it if you read the book. Rachel played Lucy very well, and she was some much needed APPALACHIAN representation. I think she nailed the accent. District 12 is set in appalachia also the double standard about snow being attractive but with Lucy it's a problem.... No hate love u but I rly think that this was the wrong take. Definitely interesting to see how only movie watchers interpreted the characters. Also, Lucy gray was the opposite of quiet. She was a performer. She knew exactly what she was doing the whole time to win the crowds to her advantage. She is cunning, smart, and outgoing. And that's not a problem.

the thing about lucy gray is she is a performer, and even in the movie, she’s putting on that front of being strong whether it’s for the cameras or for coriolanus, when she says “well i’m not made of sugar” before leaving, you can see that she’s trying to lighten what is obvious tension between them at the threat of lucy gray being the last loose end, whether she’ll actually do anything about it, or if coryo will do anything to stop her. her last words in the movie are both strong willed because she’s not so delicate where the rain will hurt her, and she’s not so delicate where snow will control her for his own gain, instead she needs to run and leave on her own to survive, but she’s scared, she makes this light hearted, but not so much, comment before leaving. i think rachel zegler did a great job in showing the performer of lucy gray and sometimes the fear she lets through, like in the scene with her and coryo in the woods outside d12 when they first reconnect, she’s still in the arena trying to survive, and that’s still there with her in the end running from coryo

Showing that she has what it took to survive. Or when she told coryo to go help Arachne bc it would make them look good in the eyes of the capital.It’s little things like that give more context about who the character is.
