The Hunger Games is having suuuuuch a resurgence this year, and I’ve been living for it. Thanks to The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson’s new movies, I think we all collectively re-entered this era together.
And honestly, one of my favorite things about this franchise is how well each character is cast, like, they’re always exactly the way I pictured them when I was reading the books. So, to prove this theory even more, I decided to use AI to bring these characters to life based on their book descriptions, and then compare them to the actors who play them in the movies.
