Because of the way the movies soften some things, people tend to downplay Katniss's ability to be ruthless. Just like when she recognizes that Gale is right about the unfairness tesserae create between the classes, when he says it's like hunting, her first thought is not for the other Tributes' humanity. Her first reaction is that it's different from hunting because they're armed and they think. Them being people comes after that, and even then, she gets over it pretty quick.

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.
