And it would only take a few tweaks. Simply make the narrative about increasing charity to the poor or about generosity. It takes a lot of theological acrobatics to force Christianity to make nonthreatening sense inside an empire. First, you must gut the Gospels of their obvious focus: justice and liberation for the least of these.

Then you must fill the resultant vacuum with something, probably the pursuit of personal righteousness a la cultivating the fruits of the Spirit. Purity culture also works particularly well here. Honestly, same here. First, I am not living in a post-apocalyptic world. Second, if I were, I would be on the side of the resistance, fighting against the evil empire, not lounging in the lap of luxury while people starved.

Third, I relate more to Katniss than Effie. Should we, though? No one sees themselves in Agent Smith or Commander Fred. From subjecting enslaved women to experimental surgeries without anesthesia to testing birth control on unsuspecting Puerto Rican women to forcing hysterectomies on immigrant women held in detention centers, the U. This rather reminds me of the first Pirates of the Caribbean when Captain Barbosa explains to Elizabeth Swann how stealing Aztec gold cursed him and his crew to roam the earth as the living dead.

There's been no shortage of "origin story" films that aim to give a backstory to established villains in recent years, from Disney's "Cruella" to Warner Bros.

The book focuses on year-old Coriolanus Snow who is trying to seek fortune for his family by becoming a mentor in the 10th annual Hunger Games.

He thinks his hopes are shot when he's forced to mentor Lucy Gray, the tribute from the country's poorest 12th District, until he sees how promising she turns out to be and plots to help her win. Fans of the original series pushed back before the prequel's release, arguing that the book may have attempted to make readers sympathize with the fascist leader. However, there ultimately wasn't much in the way of sympathizing with Snow in the prequel; Collins instead shows readers how Snow was just as cruel as a teen.

Here's how Abby Monteil previously described the book in a review for Insider:. In his mind he might be a hero fighting to save Lucy Gray, but Collins makes it abundantly clear that Snow is a cold, ruthless teenager well on his way to becoming the cruel tyrant we first meet in "The Hunger Games.

The original series is set in a futuristic dystopia where a country is split into class-based districts and Katniss Everdeen, a girl from the poorest district, overcomes all odds to inspire a revolution that ultimately destroys the old order. In "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," we see the earlier days of the 12 districts and the Capitol, 64 years before the events of the original trilogy.

This was a couple of years after the war that put the Capitol in charge, hence the Hunger Games of this book is a lot more simple and brutal than the elaborate and sophisticated event we see in the original series. In addition to mentoring Lucy Gray, teen Snow is also enlisted to help come up with ideas for "improving" the twisted battle royale — ultimately showing how he helped shape it into the spectacle it is by the time Katniss and Peeta are thrust into the fray 64 years later.
