Are you more about the good guys, like Thor and Elliot Stabler, or do the bad boys get your blood flowing, like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Or are you interested in just the right mix of Stiles, Sherlock Holmes, and Magic Mike?However your list stacks up, have fun picking and choosing the fictional characters you'd leave your man for. A little crush on someone you could never actually get with is completely healthy and normal.

Hunger Games Characters: Best to Worst

Tatyana Lewis

The Hunger Games gave us unforgettable heroics, epic battles, and a dystopian world we couldn't stop talking about—but let's face it, some characters were just plain bad. Sure, everyone loves Katniss's bravery and Peeta's sweetness, but what about those characters who made fans roll their eyes or yell at the screen? From Caesar Flickerman's painfully fake cheerfulness to Johanna Mason's constant hostility (we get it… you’re tough), the franchise definitely had its share of frustrating personalities.This ranking dives into the most annoying Hunger Games characters, as well as those who earned their spot among the series' most hated. Maybe you couldn't stand Haymitch's nonstop drunken brooding or found yourself repeatedly irritated by Katniss’s moody indecision.&nbsp;Whatever your reason for being annoyed, you're not alone. Check out this definitive list of the worst characters in Panem, and vote for the characters you think are the worst in the franchise.

13 Sidekicks Who Go Through Just As Much Hell As Their Heroes

Sidekicks Who Go Through Just As Much Hell As Their Heroes

Sean Migalla

When a book is adapted into a movie or TV show, it is inevitable that some changes will be made to the source material. Sometimes this is to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-boys-changes-from-comic/tyler-mitchell">smooth out the hard edge of the original</a>, or to swap a certain line or action from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/harry-potter-worst-book-to-movie-changes/damon-davis">one character to another</a>. There are also plenty of instances of scenes being cut for the sake of length, as many books are too long to render every scene on screen in a reasonable run time.&nbsp;In the film adaptations of The Hunger Games series, these changes can sometimes come at the cost of characterization. Many of the tributes had more fleshed out backstories or relationships in Suzanne Collins's novels, only to become background characters in the films. Even characters like Finnick or Peeta, who are still leads onscreen, lose some of their greatest moments in the interest of time. Check out some of the greatest tidbits you missed if you haven't read the Hunger Games books.

Every Major 'Hunger Games' Character And What They Actually Look Like, According To The Books

The Top 20 'Hunger Games' Characters and What They Look Like, Ranked

Kate Kavanagh

Can&#39;t get enough hot guys? Well, get out your fire extinguisher, because this is a list of male characters who are literally flaming hot. Who are the true, actual hottest guys of film and TV? They are the ones with fire shooting out of their skulls, eye sockets, extremities, and etc. They are so incredibly hot that you can&#39;t even touch them, lest you be burned by their hot hot heat. How hot are we talking here? At least like 1,000&deg;F for a low blaze, and those dazzling whitish flames are more like 2,500&deg;F. Caliente! For the record, you can get a 3rd degree skin burn from contact with water that is just 140&deg;F.&nbsp;

So who is the literal hottest male character of all time? Characters like Johnny Blaze (aka Ghost Rider) and Johnny Storm (aka Human Torch) are virtually composed of fire. How do they do it? How do they reign in such temperatures without destroying their corporeal bodies and bones? Only scientists really know. On the other end of the scalding hot spectrum are characters like Anakin Skywalker, who was not quite impervious to the damaging heat of lava, but persevered through the flames anyway - without legs or a face - to transform into one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest villains of all time</a>! How hot is that? And Peeta Mellark had a little suit with flames on it.

Don&#39;t worry - voting on this list won&#39;t scald your fingertips. Instead, it will help do the lord&#39;s work of ranking the en fuego <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-characters-you-would-leave-your-man-for/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">male fictional characters</a> who are hottest to the touch. Even if they are probably dead! That is OK, as long as they were hot as heck when they went out. Vote up the film and TV guys you think are the most smoldering.

Happy Hunger Games

WARNING: SPOILERS ACROSS PANEM. This list discusses The Hunger Games books and the movie adaptations. So if you&rsquo;re not caught up, this is your friendly Mockingjay whistle to return when you&#39;ve read the books and watched the films.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

How are&nbsp;The Hunger Games movies different than the books? Several <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-characters-who-look-different-from-book-characters/tracey-graham" target="_blank">characters look different</a> and a few story lines may have changed, but the film producers did the smart thing and allowed the books&rsquo; author, Suzanne Collins, to consult and collaborate on the adaptation. Still, it&rsquo;s always difficult to pack all of the book&#39;s material into a feature film (or four). There&#39;s bound to be some obvious missteps. Still, if you love the movie regardless, be sure to also check out more <a href="/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-the-hunger-games/watchworthy" target="_blank">shows and movies like The Hunger Games.</a>

When it comes to Hunger Games book vs. movie discussions, it&rsquo;s easy to forget the challenges of casting. An actor may look exactly like a book character, but this series requires lots of action, emotional range, and the ability to convey Collins&rsquo;s intent across three books - not an easy job when there are die hard fans waiting for you to trip up. Fortunately, Collins was part of the audition process, and the search was exhaustive and intense (except for the lazy casting of Buttercup in the first film).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In the books, we are experiencing Katniss&rsquo;s story through her first person narration. In the screen versions, there is no narration. That gave the filmmakers the opportunity to feature other aspects of the story, and to take some license with the characters&#39; looks. This can be frustrating for book fans, while giving those new to the Hunger Games trilogy a more complete idea of the story.&nbsp;&nbsp;

While the filmmakers got a lot of the casting right (Gale, Prim, Cinna, Rue), they sometimes made some out-of-the box choices. What do you think? How were The Hunger Games books different than the movies? What did they get right? What is your biggest beef? Was Donald Sutherland&rsquo;s President Snow up to snuff or just not snakey enough? What about the casting of Amanda Plummer and Jeffrey Wright as Wiress and Beetee?

Let us know in the comments and may the odds be ever in your favor.&nbsp;

Will it be one of several dueling Bradley Cooper characters? Maybe you’d prefer to go the dystopian route and vote for one of her Hunger Games co-stars.
