does anybody else remember when the h*nger g*mes movies were big and there was that really dark, haunting song in them about a man getting lynched and people watching it because that kind of violence was so normalized in their world (that “are you are you coming to the tree, they strung up a man, they say he murdered three” song), and then in real life they made like a club version of that song to play on the radio
There is literally nothing funnier than the marketing of teh Hunger Games franchise because they couldn’t figure out what to do other than perfectly imitate the villains of the story
^^ It always drives me crazy the way the media and general public focused on the “love triangle” aspect of the Hunger Games, not even realizing that’s one of the biggest points Suzanne Collins was making: people will sell a fake romance story and wrap everything in layers of drama to avoid the real problems. The way the Hunger Games was advertised was exactly how the Capitol advertised Katniss in the books, and I swear to god they didn’t even realize what they were doing.
For those that don’t know, Brock’s mom and dad both bailed on their kids to go dreamchasing for a bit and he had to look after NINE siblings on his own
In other words,
SHOTS FIRED
Brock also just kind of left those same 9 siblings so he could travel the world with a 12 year old and his electric rat
Brock literally hung tight until his dad came home, gave said dad a stern shit-talking about how much of a worthless deadbeat he was to his face, refused to set one foot out of Pewter City until he was sure the dude would stay and take care of his damn kids, and then left to follow the dreams he was never allowed to follow because he was too busy cleaning up his parents goddamn mistakes.
But, like, go off, I guess.
If the one in the first pic is his mom, why does she look younger than him?
Because she’s not the one who had to raise 9 kids.
