When they first released, ‘’ movies had the entire nation in a chokehold. With a dreamy star cast including , Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks and Stanley Tucci, the films became a cult favourite almost instantly.

As we move into a new era with ‘’ and deep dive into the early days of tyrannical President Snow, we must credit the franchise for giving us women characters that are diverse, eloquent, intelligent and represent strength in their own unique way.

Be it Katniss Everdeen or Dr Volumnia Gaul, let라이브 바카라 take a look at the strong women who rule Panem and our hearts:

Katniss Everdeen

Katniss Everdeen was a beacon of hope for Panem - a mockingjay if you will. While her rebellion spread through the Capitol and the districts like wildfire, she became a symbol to fans all around the world. Her unwavering courage, spirit and willingness to fight for her and her people라이브 바카라 rights, cemented her in the hearts and homes of not only the citizens but also audiences. With Jennifer Lawrence라이브 바카라 iconic character upholstering an uprising, Katniss’ vulnerability, kindness and intelligence proved that true femininity lies in being strong, soft and sensibly selfless.

Effie Trinket

Often overlooked as a strong female lead, Elizabeth Banks’ Effie Trinket is a Capitol citizen who plays the role of an escort for District 12 tributes. Over the course of the first four films, we see her develop a strong bond with both Katniss and Peeta, eventually becoming a part of the rebellion. Although Effie starts off as a loyalist to President Snow, she starts to see the maniac for who he truly is. It is her ability to empathize, despite the brainwashing and her excellent taste in fashion that makes her a force to be reckoned with.

Lucy Gray Baird

She라이브 바카라 a songbird through and through. Lucy Gray Baird is one of the strongest feminists in The Hunger Games franchise. Her wit, relentlessness and intuition make her a true victor in every sense. Lucy is fearless even at times of peril. Her energy and fervor are well encapsulated by the brilliant Rachel Zegler, who never ceases to amaze with her incredible acting prowess. Lucy라이브 바카라 headstrong personality and never-say-die attitude even in the face of defeat showcase her true strength, making her an emblem in The Hunger Games franchise.

Dr Volumia Gaul

Viola Davis’ Dr Gaul is perhaps the epitome of a character who is wicked good. Volumnia is evil, intimidating and powerful - a combination made in heaven (or perhaps hell). She knows what she wants and how to get away with it; an antagonist you can’t help but love. Her absolute gall (pun intended) and menacing aura feed into her character라이브 바카라 duplicitous nature and make her a formidable foe and woman in the series.

‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes’ released on November 17.
