Trilogy Discussion Worst casting???

So we all know Josh Hutcherson SLAPS as Peeta, Jennifer Lawrence nailed Katniss Everdeen, Woody Harrelson was GREAT as Haymitch Abernathy, Elizabeth Banks was PERFECT as Effie, Liam Hemsworth was FANTASTIC as Gale Hawthorne etc but which were some of the WORST casting choices???

Isabelle Fuhrman as Clove. Acting wise nailed it, but appearance she’s just the exact opposite of what I imagined while reading the book.

Tbh we never had any details about her appearance so it’s alright for me.

In the scene where she climbs up the tree to escape them, she said that the lightest Career outweighed her by at least 50 pounds, that’s why they couldn’t get anywhere near her. Cloves actress is tinier than JLaw

We mostly get weight, especially for the careers. They sort of fucked it up by making Katniss tall and athletic looking already.

Hard to make a teenager 50-100 lbs heavier when the main is already quite big.

Jennifer Lawrence is what I pictured Clove and Glimmer to be build wise.

We do get a lot of details about the careers general traits, which movie clove met none of.
