Marcus anc Corey What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Thursday April 17th, 2025.

Not every compelling character needs a massive transformation. Sometimes the most powerful stories come from characters who don't change—but instead, they change the world around them. That's what we call a flat character arc, and on this episode of The Write It Scared Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly what that means.I know—a “flat” arc might sound boring, right? But trust me, flat arcs can be incredibly dynamic and emotionally engaging. Think of characters like Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games. Katniss doesn't fundamentally change who she is, but her unwavering strength, determination, and beliefs begin to transform everything around her.Here's what we're diving into in this episode:What a flat (also called “steadfast” or “static”) arc really is—and why it's misunderstoodThe key difference between flat arcs and positive or negative arcsHow to craft a flat character who feels vibrant, real, and deeply relatableUsing Katniss Everdeen as a practical case study to explore how flat arcs work within traditional story structuresPractical, actionable tips for creating compelling flat arc characters readers will loveIf you've ever struggled with characters who resist change or wondered if every protagonist truly needs to transform, this episode is exactly what you need.Episode Breakdown00:00 – What exactly is a flat character arc?01:30 – Quick refresher: Positive vs. Negative vs. Flat arcs01:52 – Defining flat character arcs clearly (and busting myths!)05:09 – How to craft dynamic, compelling flat arc characters07:17 – Examples of iconic flat arc characters07:42 – Deep dive: Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games08:10 – Story structure and the flat arc: how it fits in10:39 – Breaking down Katniss's journey step-by-step20:29 – Key takeaways and tips for your own flat arcs22:07 – Wrap-up + what's coming next!Other Episodes mentioned Episode 52: Crafting a Corruption ArcEpisode 48: Crafting a Falling ArcEpisode 46: Crafting a Disillusionment ArcEpisode 42: Crafting Positive Arcs of Change Have a comment or idea about the show?

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping – Propaganda, Complicity, and Haymitch's StoryIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki welcome special guest Danielle from WrittenInTheStarWars to dive deep into Suzanne Collins' newest novel in The Hunger Games franchise, Sunrise on the Reaping. The trio explores how this prequel reveals the true story behind Haymitch Abernathy's Games and challenges what readers thought they knew from the original trilogy.What makes Suzanne Collins' writing unique in YA literature?The hosts discuss Collins' masterful use of first-person narrative, with Danielle highlighting how Collins understands both the strengths and weaknesses of this perspective. Her intentional structuring of chapters and story arcs keeps readers engaged while delivering complex themes accessible to young adults without oversimplifying them. The conversation explores Collins' famous quote: “I don't write about adolescents. I write about war for adolescents.”How does propaganda shape the story in Panem?Sunrise on the Reaping reveals how the Capitol manipulates narratives, showing that what Katniss learned about Haymitch's Games was heavily edited propaganda. The book explores how different forms of propaganda work—from entertainment spectacles to subtle messaging that convinces citizens the Games are necessary for peace. Characters like Effie Trinket demonstrate how effective this indoctrination can be, while others show resistance to these manufactured stories.What do we learn about Haymitch as a character?The novel provides a stark contrast between the real Haymitch and the persona crafted by Capitol editors. Readers discover he was someone who refused to think of other tributes as enemies, consistently protected others, and maintained his humanity throughout the Games. The book also reveals his tragic journey toward alcoholism, showing how it began as medical treatment before becoming his coping mechanism for trauma and loss.Other topics discussed:How Maysilee Donner evolves from a "mean girl" to one of the book's most compelling charactersWhy Collins may have written this book now as a response to current political eventsThe difference between how Haymitch's relationship with Maysilee was portrayed in propaganda versus realityThe careful way Collins handles familiar characters from the original trilogy appearing in the prequelThe humanity of Career tributes and how they too are victims of the Capitol's systemThe theme of complicity and how everyone in Panem's system becomes part of maintaining its horrorsThe conversation concludes by reflecting on how Collins uses her storytelling to encourage readers to question propaganda in their own lives and recognize complicity in unjust systems. By revisiting Haymitch's Games, she reminds us that history is often written by the victors—but truth can be a powerful tool for rebellion.LinksFollow these links to earlier discussions on The Hunger Games with Danielle:The Hunger GamesThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Catching Fire: "Eyes bright, chins up, smiles ON." Ending the year with some "welcome to the revolution" vibes, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are rewatching Catching Fire (movie two) in the The Hunger Games series (books by Suzanne Collins.) Nothing says the "end of the holidays" like a slog through the country to visit people that don't really like you, all to be roped back into the same thing you said you'd never do again. We laugh so we don't cry. Katniss and Peeta are traveling here and there and eventually back to The Capital for murderous shenanigans that include getting back in the arena again because Snow said so. Shattering the dome of expectation (ha), Katniss finds herself as the figurehead of a revolution that may or may not be more far along than she knows. Just die. TW / CW: none to our awareness.

If you've seen the second Hunger Games movie - Catching Fire - you know that Katniss and Peeta, two of the main characters, are touring the districts by train after winning the 74th annual Hunger Games, as is custom for the winner to do. Things go badly in District 11, when Katniss accidentally provokes the crowd into doing something that gets one of them killed by Capital Peacekeepers. Completely freaked out, Katniss cries to Haymitch, hers and Peeta's mentor, about how to just get through the end of the tour so they can go home. "Wake up, girl," Haymitch says, snapping his fingers. "This trip doesn't end. You ain't EVER getting off this train!" The concept of never getting off the train is pretty terrifying in those circumstances! But when you look at it from a different perspective, it's actually a powerful way to think about your health journey, and here's why. One reason SO many people gain back weight is because they keep "getting off the train." Put another way, they think they can skip doing the exact things that work to get and keep the weight off! I call it the diet mentality, and it's only gonna ever lead to frustration and failure. Unlike the train in the Hunger Games, you actually want all the incredible things that come with staying on the real food, water, and sleep train to get and KEEP your weight off! Listen, there IS a way to stay on the train and love it. In this week's new podcast, I'll explain why you ain't ever getting off this train...and how and why that's actually a great thing!

Mockingjay Act 1 We're back to it! We discuss act one of Mockingjay, a book that dares to ask: is filming wrestling promos just as bad as running a dystopian fiefdom? The people cry out for a teenage superhero to jump out in front of a smoke machine and say character select screen phrases, and only Katniss can answer the call. We discuss the loaded imagery and its relationship to the more heightened plot movements, whether or not we care about the love triangle anymore, and ponder whether this is about anything specific or if the series has just gotten too far into the reality TV weeds. We also check in on a brand new Harry Potter fan subreddit dedicated to complaining about the TV show that doesn't exist yet.

On this episode I talked with Erica about her journey into theater, being inspired by magical worlds in books like Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, her desire to perform, being influenced by memorable performances like Meryl Streep in "Mamma Mia!”, seeing "The Lion King" tour in Honolulu as a child, her school trip to New York in middle school, where she saw both "Memphis" and "Wicked,” the influence Jennifer Lawrence's acting in The Hunger Games had on her and wanting to play Katniss if The Hunger Games ever became a musical, her experience at The University Of Michigan including productions she was in of "The Wolves" and "Merrily We Roll Along,” her audition process for “Wicked,” joining the cast with multiple other new leads and how that made the rehearsal process special, how she makes the character of Nessarose her own as well as how she's similar and different to Nessarose, her dream roles, creating her own Percy Jackson Podcast called “Seaweed Brain Podcast” where she and her co-host have interviewed cast members from the new show, and much more!

Tune in as this show kicks off a new theme month for all of May: the Rebecca Hall of Fame! For this first podcast of the month to honor one of Arthur's all-time favorite actors, Joe Lipsett (Horror Queers, Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr) is returning to the guest chair for a breakdown of Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1974, the 2009 period crime drama-thriller that stands as the first film entry in a limited series made for British television called the Red Riding Trilogy. The bleak and nihilistic territory that this series boldly treads into, the surprising amount of homoerotic undertones in 1974, and some gripes with a divisive little filmmaker known as Zack Snyder comprise just a few of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Julian Jarrold, Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1974 stars Andrew Garfield, Rebecca Hall, Sean Bean, Warren Clarke, John Henshaw, Anthony Flanagan, Robert Sheehan, Eddie Marsan, Sean Harris, Tony Mooney, Steven Robertson, Cathryn Bradshaw, David Morrissey, Michelle Dockery, Daniel Mays, Peter Mullan, and Mary Jo Randle.

“Usually stakes start personal and they become public. That's a way of raising stakes, regardless of the genre.” - Savannah GilboWe're diving deep into Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins to see how and why it works. Join me and Abigail K. Perry as we break down this first chapter to see how it hooks our interest and pulls us into the story! Here's a preview of what's included:  [05:22] Chapter summary: This chapter focuses on Katniss, who is navigating life after winning the Hunger Games. There is a suggestion of impending conflict or tension on a larger scale and overall, the story explores themes of survival, resistance against oppressive systems, and the complexities of relationships under duress.[13:31] Macro analysis, using Paula Munier's 7 Key Questions: Suzanne Collins expertly lays the groundwork for an engaging and suspenseful story. Readers are likely to feel curiosity, concern, and wonder throughout the chapter. They are curious about the unfolding events, for Katniss's well-being and relationships, and intrigued by the dystopian world. [35:16] Micro analysis, using Story Grid's 5 Commandments: Overall, this scene marks a turning point in the protagonist's journey, throwing her into a more dangerous and complex conflict with President Snow. It sets the stage for the central conflicts of the narrative, particularly Katniss's struggle to navigate her public image and maintain her autonomy in a society ruled by fear and control.[50:21] Final thoughts: This first chapter emphasizes the character development of Katniss and the intricate layers of stakes and decisions that drive the narrative forward. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the complexity of storytelling and the various paths that can lead to a compelling climax.Links mentioned in this episode:Check out the LitMarch Podcast with Abigail Perry here!

Catching Fire chapters 22 & 23 TWO giant reveals that we avoided having spoiled! Can you believe it!? This one is particularly funny, given our hobby trajectories of late. This awesome new arena mechanic is revealed alongside an exciting action sequence, some ridiculous (complimentary) side characters joining Katniss's party, some ridiculous (derogatory) Peeta moments, and some small worldbuilding revelations that send us reeling. Plus! More Strings Drama--and a step back into the mysterious world of three detectives with curious names...

With a May 8th birthday, Katniss Everdeen is a Taurus not a Sagittarius (Latin for 'archer') but we challenge you to name a more iconic wielder of bow and arrows in pop culture. It seemed therefore essential that we seek out an expert to talk to us about the venerable art of archery. We connected with Hannah, an analyst who works for the federal government and enjoys both archery and young adult books in her spare time. Not only did we learn about different types of archery, bows, and the difficulty of making arrows but the logistics of pulling from a quiver and just moving with the presence of a long curved 'stick' over your shoulder . You'll never think about running with a bow the same way again. Come for the ranged weapon discussion, stay for the thoughtful discussion of young adult literature and Katniss as character.These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.

Catching Fire chapters 20-21 Remember how we had somehow remained completely unaware of the werewolves in the first Hunger Games book? Somehow, by some beautiful miracle, we remained equally, blissfully unaware of another animal threat in this series. Not much happens in these action-packed chapters outside, but boy does a lot happen. There are chapters that feel like novels, as they say... Anyway, aside from the fight scene involving a bunch of mutant monkeys, we discuss the fun character dynamics between Katniss, Finnick, and Peeta (I guess he's still alive), this book's inventive twists on the survival story trappings from the first novel, and okay I'm exaggerating we mostly talk about the monkey fight. And that's not all--we also discuss the new James Patterson novel!

The one where everyone treats Peeta like a baby! It has taken a hot minute, but join us as we finally dive in to Catching fire. Katniss's mom is actually a person here and Peeta is perfect as always!

It isn't snagging a breakout role in a major Hollywood film, but once you do, the pressure doesn't stop there. Picking the right follow-up projects, ones that allow an actor to continue honing their craft while also further solidifying the artist one wants to present to the industry, is of the utmost importance. That's the phase we find Rachel Zegler in. After delivering a staggeringly beautiful debut feature performance in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story, it's on to a beloved franchise, a remake of a Disney classic, and an A24 comedy.The first out of the gate for that trio is The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The role of Lucy Gray Baird is a massive challenge to take on for a number of reasons. First off, Zegler must follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Lawrence who delivered impeccable work as Katniss Everdeen in the original Hunger Games movies. Not only must Zegler take up the mantle of Hunger Games lead, but she's doing so with a character with an especially bubbly personality who very much walks to the beat of her own drum. Zegler was tasked with capturing Lucy Gray's infectious song and spirit, but without ever undermining the severity of the situation she finds herself in, and Zegler absolutely nails it.The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes takes place 64 years before Katniss volunteers for the 74th Hunger Games. The 10th Hunger Games is a wholly different spectacle. The Capitol has yet to develop its hi-tech arena, hovercrafts, and disturbing array of cruel mutts. Instead, the tributes are starving, the bloodbath unfolds in an old stone arena, and they struggle to get Capitol citizens to watch. However, this year could be different because this time around, the tributes have mentors. When a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) is assigned to mentor District 12's Lucy Gray, he's determined to get her to capture the hearts of Capitol citizens just like she did his, via song and simply being a ray of light in horrible situation.With The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now playing in theaters nationwide, and already racking up $44 million at the domestic box office, Zegler took the time to join me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to discuss her goals as she continues to carve her path in Hollywood. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Amy & Paul volunteer as tribute for 2012's young adult dystopian saga The Hunger Games! They compare the young Jennifer Lawrence to her character Katniss, trace a theme of idealism vs cynicism through director Gary Ross's filmography, and marvel at Peeta's rock face. Plus: Should the main characters have been hungrier? Next week, Paul and Amy are watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off! You can join the conversation on Paul's Discord at https://discord.gg/ZwtygZGTa6 Check out this week's spotlight episode from the archives, Platoon: https://www.earwolf.com/episode/platoon/ Learn more about the show at unspooledpod.com, follow us on Twitter @unspooled and Instagram @unspooledpod, and don't forget to rate, review & subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or where you listen to podcasts.
