The Hunger Games Prequel Already Has An Ending Problem
The adaptation of the latest entry in the world of The Hunger Games is in production and set to release in 2023, however, it's clear that there are several problems concerning how this prequel story should end. Having been initially released in 2008 and then adapted to film in 2012, The Hunger Games series has cemented its cultural status. However, the story and lore have recently been expanded with Suzanne Collins' 2020 prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which is now following its original trilogy predecessors and is currently being adapted to the big screen. While this is in many ways a welcome development, the writers and showrunners are now faced with a very difficult challenge when it comes to the ending; a challenge that has multiple key factors as to why it is so problematic.
