You don't have to think Gale and Katniss should've ended up together (I certainly don't), but to say he would've killed her in the arena is obvious because he didn't volunteer to go in with her is just plain wrong.
He didn't volunteer because someone had to be around to help take care of Katniss's family, to take care of Prim, the girl Katniss signed her own death warrant for. He needed to be alive to help protect and provide for them because she was pretty sure she wasn't coming back.
Gale has a lot of flaws, but I'm so tired of people misreading him as a straight up villain.
