I regret watching and reading YA crap!


I havent even seen this movie yet! I can't even believe I read all of those crappy YA books and watched their movies. However I do not regret reading and watching The Hunger Games Franchise and I still think they're amazing films. The only good thing to have came out of the YA genre is The Hunger Games!

Haha. It's sort of funny you regret reading those books, you were probably hoping they would get better, and didn't want to give up. I'm so stubborn I've ploughed through books I really should have admitted defeat with, as well.

Yep. Series after series. I thought I had enough of that BS and started to read adult Dysyopian classics. However there is a new YA book-to-film coming soon called "Readt Player One" which will be directed by Steven Spielburg and scored by John Williams so it's probably going to be really good.

Nah you shouldn't regret it. If those books were a gateway to other, non-YA books then it was all worthwhile.

True

I'm a grown up adult who enjoy reading YA books between more "adult" read. And I loved all of those I've read so far: Hunger Game (my first immersion in the genre) Divergent, Uglies, The Lunar Chronicles, I loved all of them. More easy reading (but not mind numbing) and I have still many waiting in my To Read Pile. They are not crap at all. I find it very sad that OP is no spitting on something that he used to enjoy (since he seems to have read many of that genre)

I'm an apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic fan but I've really enjoyed switching to dystopian for a bit. The YA theme doesn't bother me. The Maze Runner has been most disappointing. Scaring them to extract a serum? Really?

I disagree. Hunger Games 1 was a great film but the other two were utter *beep* Hunger Games 1 was colorful and wild then they toned it way, way down in the other two films to the point it didn't seem like it was the same universe. It goes from believable technology to weird insane nonsensical *beep* probably because their director and CGI team didn't know what the *beep* they were doing.
