The deluge of plagiarism topics has gotten out of hand.

I understand some folks have a beef (genuine or otherwise) with the author of the The Hunger Games trilogy, but can't you confine your grievances to a single thread? This board has become a bit of a minefield over the past year because of scattered posters levying a bevy of complaints against the film.

(Yes, I know that I am contributing to the chaos in my small attempt to be helpful. It'll be the only time, I promise .)

Nice try, but the three nutcases trying to swamp this board with monotonous repetitions of their nonsense comments are quite immune to logic.

I took them seriously at first, and responded to their posts with basic facts, but that just made them angry.

After that it was fun mocking them for a while, but it has all become just too tedious.

The only point I would make is to ignore any posting made by Mr Dippy under his multitude of sock puppets. Almost everything he posts is made up, whether it be claims about common scenes between BR and THG, or about BR's 'theatrical release' in the US.

Very tedious.

No kidding. It's like this on all of the Hunger Games movie boards.

I really wish IMDB would fork out some money for some board moderators. The trolling across the boards is ridiculous. If multiple threads of the same topic were deleted maybe the trolls would move to another website.

~The internet? Is that thing still around?~

Perhaps they ought to slap on a cumulative additional two minutes of waiting time between posts for those that copy thread titles/subjects which already exist?

I wasn't going to post here, but seeing as this thread is still "alive" after nearly a year...

There is nobody on this board "discussing" BR/BR2/plagiarism. There is nobody on this board "expressing a grievance". What there is, pure and simple, is a bunch of trolls. The only reason they're here is to clog up the boards and make them unusable for "regular" posters.
These trolls are never going to "confine their grievances to a single thread" because that would defeat the purpose of trolling in the first place. They want the board turned into "a minefield", blocked up with irrelevant threads, because it amuses them.

While I appreciate the sentiments of the OP, it's never going to achieve anything because it's asking the trolls to abandon their whole raison d'être.

That is a strange focal point for them to obsess over.

After seeing Part 1, I think it is reasonable to assume that some of those scenes might be replicated for the Americans, if not all together cut. For instance, I don't think we will have Ai or anyone replacing her (Delly in the Collin's rip). I expect them to combine some of those Noriko scenes. One conversation with Shuya and Noriko face to face, where she's analyzing him, and (hopefully) the cafeteria conversation, but that's it. In fact, I think someone mentioned how that last Noriko scene of him thrashing in the movie was probably replacing the fake wig freak out.

I also think their training scenes will be truncated. While that's important to make it believable (plus, movie Anti-terror squad leader did say she wasn't going to put untrained civilians in the field), I don't know if they will have too much focus on training. The "following directions" point was reference in Part 1...but does that really have an effect once they are at the Capitol? He takes control and does her own thing anyway, unless I'm forgotten something off the top of my head? If it doesn't, I'm not sure how much of that they will keep.

About the Chigusa and Shuya kiss; I actually think it wouldn't be bad if they kept it, but I don't know if I like how the movies are handling their situation, so I don't know how effective it will be. (I don't mind the downplaying, but then I don't feel a big connection between movie Chigusa/Shuya, so it seems kind of thrown in there when it does happen). That whole kissing drunk boys thing won't be in there, but showing his loss/desperation may be...

While I think the assault on the Capitol will take a large part of the film, I don't think it will be as big as in BR2's the previous games...and I think we already know they combined/changed some of the deaths.
