Deviations from these standards should require an explanation, such as gypsy curse.
I think that one has been played out.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can Ryan Gosling play Finnick, or am I just susceptible to the hype?

Because books.
I think he's a little too old. And not at all the way I pictured Finnick, much as I love the Gosling.

He's a little older than I pictured Finnick, but I'm all for it.

I think it'll be a difficult casting decision. I mean, he's basically described as being the Hottest Tribute EVAR. People will be having ridiculously high expectations.

Was he dark-haired? I pictured him dark-haired. I'm thinking of one guy, but I have to look him up. Ethan Peck.
Also, ita, an email to you just bounced.

I pictured him dark-haired too, but I don't know if he was actually described as such or if my brain just made a super handsome = dark haired link.
Ethan Peck is certainly good looking! Well chosen, Amy.

There's something about his bottom lip that bothers me. But thematically, he did make me think of Steven McQueen. I could kinda work with that.
I think of him as gold, all gold. Again, couldn't tell you what the book says.
eta: Amy I did get one from you this morning so far...

You're right, ita! Hunger Games Wiki tells me that he is golden skinned, bronze haired, and green eyed.
Also, he won his Games when he was 14?! I knew he was young, but I hadn't realized quite how young.
