Katniss, Haymitch, and the Seam inhabitants are all described as olive-skinned, brown-eyed (edit: and gray-eyed), and dark-haired.

Peeta, Maysilee, Katniss’ mother and the Merchants are largely described as blond haired, blue eyed, light-skinned.

The Hunger Games adaptations have a huge weakness to their casting because they allowed their white audience to overlook this very important fact, that the Mockingjay is a brown girl, that her mother was disowned for having a mixed-race and mixed-class marriage, that Katniss and Haymitch were long shots not just because they’re Seam but because they are brown… because the only brown characters in the movies (i.e. Rue, Thresh, 11 in general) were there to be tragic, not to be saviors.

Katniss Everdeen is brown, and I won’t forgive or forget the movies for erasing that part of her character.

on a more positive note I like how the Demogorgons became less of a threat throughout the seasons because they learned how to deal with them. It's nice to see them struggle in s1 only for them to be able to take them out easier in s4. I think that's cool.

Wholeheartedly agree, tulip anon, it’s one of my personal biggest gripes with the series! It makes Vecna into some lame ass 35-y/o guy who has beef with a teenager instead of the ACTUAL horrifying incomprehensible eldritch threat that the mind flayer posed. It hinders the story a LOT and overall makes me care quite a bit less. Plot twists like that are rarely fruitful and it just… Did not elaborate on it enough, I guess.
