Catching Fire, indeed: Racist Hunger Games Fans Respond to possible Finnick Odair casting.

I'm not sure if he's signed the papers just yet, but Jesse Williams being cast as Finnick Odair in the next Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire, is bringing out all the KKK chirren.



Central casting has taken wallops from both sides over their various ethnic interpretations of characters from Suzanne Collins' YA dystopian trilogy as they're being converted to the big screen (note: very, very successfully). To be fair, this is complicated particularly because the futuristic setting suggests that the general population is mixed-race; many characters are described as having "dusky" or "olive" skin, and we've even published a comprehensive character-by-character racial breakdown to clear up the confusion.


Look at these assholes here.Collapse )

I cannot(but really can) believe the lengths people are willing to go to in showing how much of a fucking asshole they really are. Goodness. Was it like this for HP and Twilight?

Ngl I've been hoping they'd cast Harry Lloyd just because I stan him so hard and I want him to get more work, but hell yes Jesse Williams is perfect imo. Racist motherfuckers can suck the dick I don't have.

Sea green eyes and muscle... I'm sold. He just needs some golden locks and a swimsuit.

How old is Finnick supposed to be?

Mid twenties. He won ten years prior when he was 14, i believe.

This guy just looks older than I expected Finnick to look. Looked him up and it said he's 30, so it's not that far off, but meh.

Hmm.... can't say that I can see him as Finnick... I mean, can you make him a redhead? Other than that, I like him on Grey's, he's a good actor.
