People Debate Which Disney Princess Would Win The Hunger Games

It's fun to imagine what happens when worlds collide with the mixing of entertainment genres.

As an example of this, American author Seth Grahame-Smith comes to mind.

He brilliantly wove together two completely contrasting literary worlds together with his novels Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter–both of which were adapted for the big screen.

So what would happen if Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games trilogy was replaced by a completely different type of heroine?


The imagination of strangers went wild when Redditor AgreeableSolid7034 asked:

"Which Disney princess would win the Hunger games and why?"

Some people thought Elsa would be the best candidate, hands down, due to her supernatural powers.

Hard To Choose

"I have 3 potential winners:"

"Elsa on account of having super powers that can be used offensively."

"Mulan on having actual combat training."

"Nala (if you count her) for being a literal lion."

– Theher0not

Icy Powers

"Elsa can literally create sentient life and freeze everyone on their starting pedestals aoe style....there's no contest here twentieth level elemental wizard wins."

– Unnecessaryloongname

Fearless

"Ohhh I hadn’t thought of Nala. Technically not in the Disney Princess lineup, and also she’s not a princess. But yes, Nala would be a good contender."

– Pyrocephalus-rubinus

Disqualification

"Not one of the early ones, I’ll tell you that right now."

– ShinyRedBalloon

"Ah, but what if the sounds of the battlefield awaken sleeping Aurora to her true love, the love of Blood drawn in war. She wakes, shatters her glass coffin, and uses the shards of glass as a pair of swords. She hasn't eaten in years, so she doesn't need a lot of food. She jumps full into the fray, slashing and jabbing with her glass swords. Tributes fall to the left and right, as Aurora, goddess of the dawn, destroys them unto their very bloodline. Exterminated."

– jewel-frog-fur

Some thought unique skills and credentials were more effective than witchcraft.

Take A Bow

"Merida is excellent with a bow. I think she’d have a fighting chance."

– UnStoppableWho_

Thematically And Practically

"Thematically? Meridia."

"Practically? Elsa. She's literally a magical ice goddess that can flash freeze an entire lake. The only other princess with anything approaching supernatural power is Moana, and her power is over water ."

– Allfunandgaymes

The Forest Expert

"Thematically, consider Pochahantas and Mulan too! If Elsa didn’t immediately freeze everything in the arena, Pochahantas might survive just from knowing what’s edible and what’s not and being able to track people and avoid being seen!"

– ruiqi22

So which is it?

Woman Warrior

"Mulan - trained warrior with excellent survival skills."

– TitleProfessional760

Weapon Of Choice

"She defeated the boss Hun with a paper fan. I think she's a safe bet."

– inadequatepockets

Hitting The Bullseye

"Don't discount Merida. The Hunger Games were won by an archer, after all."

"Mulan definitely wound up being the skilled soldier of the bunch and probably best survival skills, but Merida was no stranger to the outdoors herself."

– 1CEninja

It's A Toss-Up

"I’m also between Merida and Mulan. I think they both have the skill set to win, but when it comes to killing the other princesses, I think Mulan’s death count will give her an edge. Merida hasn’t killed a human before, while Mulan is a war tested soldier with a 10,000 kill count."

– Pyrocephalus-rubinus

I'd put my pound sterling on Merida to epically conquer all.

Our red-headed heroine is skilled with a bow and arrow and she would fiercely take down leaders of the wealthy Capitol city of Panem to end the annual carnage once and for all.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

TikToker Secretly Records Unhinged Spectrum Employee Screaming At Her For Trying To Cancel Her Service

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
