There Be Monsters in the Comic-Con Trailer for Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
 |
That’s Killer Croc, isn’t it? Or are alligator men just the next big Comic-Con trend?
I like the curveball of just a random monster at the end of a trailer for a movie in a series that generally doesn’t have them. Turning war into one giant obstacle course – well, while that seems on one level like an awful kind of simplification, it is just fiction, and they’ve dealt well with Katniss’ PTSD so far.
Not sure why President Snow doesn’t just drop nukes on them again. I guess the books might explain that better, but it’s certainly not like deterrence is in effect.
