I wasn’t aware until recently. They used the old voting system back then so the audience didn’t get the impression how they absolutely stormed the public vote.
My question is how did they get that many points? I’m not disputing it as I love the song and performance, but getting that high of a televote isn’t something that just happens out of nowhere, especially with this kind of song
Reliving my HG era, and I was so excited to see the first Finnick stills back in the day. Imo these two always stuck in my mind
In your opinion
I just noticed his reaction here to Regina’s bigger butt
He was so much more entertaining than when he lost his hand
This is how I imagined Eric in the book where he was the older brother of Serena
I think if he looked more like this, he’d be in the main cast and utilized way more. The guy in the photo here is Jessie Pavelka (younger days)
It’s a pretty lighthearted and fun scene at first watch, but when you look into it, you realize that Finnick touched Katniss, then apologizes (after what he himself has endured). Then he proceeds to make a hangman’s knot to lighten the mood, which is interesting considering the Hanging Tree song + hangings were probably a common occurrence in many districts of Panem
He seemed hopelessly in love with himself at one point, so I gotta wonder what would’ve happened if he was allowed to pose as the Prince for longer. Surely his parents could’ve noted how their son had changed
I just noticed this hilarious bit of irony. He tells Charlotte to expect the unexpected, then panics over a little bug
The funniest payoff to the "expect the unexpected" line
I feel like when you’re gone for weeks, you would put up photos of your loved ones. In the movie, we see he’s put up photos only of himself. So I gotta wonder what happened to his parents and/or family
