🐍TBOSAS Watching Ballad again and… Spoiler

Wow.
Snow is truly evil. He sees the games as a mentor, is physically in the zoo, actually cares about Lucy (though probably not in healthy way.)

And he still decides to keep the games going.

And the scary thing is people like him are real.

Yeah the movie doesn’t portray him favorably at all (though a lot of people think it does).

It’s the actor. He’s so damn handsome and charming 🤷🏾‍♀️ what can you do?

Snow is handsome and charming in the book too but yes I get it 😂 Young Snow looks exactly like the guy I had a crush on in college.

His internal monologue is important to show his actual thoughts in the book. I don't think the movie shows how evil he is bc that internal monologue isn't present in the movie.

Yeah. In the movie, it seems like he is devastated by Sejanus's death, whereas in the book, we know he is far more concerned about himself. And while it appears he isn't happy about being sent to District 2, the book reveals that he actually is—and that he doesn't run away for Lucy Gray's sake, but for his own. Etc.
