10 Great Sci-Fi Movies Ruined By One Character
4. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Peeta Mellark
Just because you're trying to overturn a tyrannical regime and save your people from oppression, doesn't mean you can't take time out of your day to think about boys!
That's the attitude Katniss Everdeen adopts throughout the Hunger Games saga, as she tries to decide which hunk she wants to end up with. Will she choose Gale, the sexy and rugged brother of Thor? Or will she pick Peeta, who... well, he's just sort of there.
Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutcherson, is a nice guy. He paints, he bakes, and he's got nice floppy hair. But man, is he useless.
When he gets sent back into the titular games in the second movie Catching Fire, he manages to get himself stuck in a fog, attacked by monkeys, and shocked by the arena's forcefield!
You knew that was there, Peeta! You've been here before!
His incompetence gets a lot of people killed, including sweet old Mags. He is a total liability throughout the Quarter Quell and, if it weren't for Katniss and Finnick, there's no way he would have survived.
Go back to your bread, Peeta, this clearly isn't for you.
