Talk:Finnick Odair

Finnick Odair was one of my favorite characters in The Hunger Games. His death, in my opinion, was unnecessary and cruelly unemphasized. It was a horribly shallow death to die for such an important character. Katniss was flushed with images, and then it was over. Finnick should have continued on instead of Cressida. Annie Cresta was too unstable to lead life without him, yet Finnick was so bent on going into combat. He had an important acceptance of characters, including Katniss, Peeta, and Boggs that only Cinna could reproduce. Snow would deserve to die soully on the fact that he sold Finnick as a prostitute, not to mention his iron grip of the Districts and conducting of the hunger games. All in all, I'm still yelling at Suzanne Collins for Finnick's death.64.81.114.186 02:03, January 23, 2011 (UTC)Anonymousity

64.81.114.186? ? Well, if it wasn't for Suzanne Collins, then none of this amazing amazingness could of happened, so dont yell at her!? AlaaddinDaley (talk) 05:14, November 26, 2012 (UTC) ?

Finnick
I started reading The Hunger Games when Max Adler said that he wanted to play Cato in the movie. I now hope that he get's cast as Finnick Odair.

FINNICK SHOULDNT HAVE DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so annoyed that Finnick Odair died in the final book!, he should have carried on living with Annie and the baby!! , Suzanne Collins please re-write the final book. And if they make a movie it should be played by Alex Petyer!!

Annxxx 14:09, November 20, 2011 (UTC) I agree!~Dillon

I wanted finnick to be in all the books! he was to much of an important character to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there should be a 4th book where he actually didnt die but killed the mutts and returns to district 13 to live a happy life with Annie and his son!!!!!!!! BRING BACK FINNICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!50.53.19.110 01:29, March 13, 2012 (UTC)Juniper

And here I go again with my theory. Because the acceptance of Finnick's death would bring me traumatic stress, I have created the perfect explanation for his disappearance. Here it goes:

Before Finnick "dies" Katniss sees his life flash before her. She never really saw him "die". And here comes the best part, the rat people didn't kill him. They simple made him rat king.

Ok, I hoped that cheered everyone up. Alex Pettyfer all the way! - Anonymous



Grant Gustin for Finnick Odair
'Grant Gustin, a current co-star on the hit show Glee'', tweeted that he wanted to play Finnick, and well the support has been big! Do you think he is right to play Finnick?'''

Honestly ever since I've since him I always imagined Finnick as either Grant Gustin or Jake Abel Tatertot623 16:58, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Let's Play Pretend
I'm going to pretend that he never died. :)

Because, if there was no Peeta, I would be thinking about Finnick the whole time.

So...he didn't die!

were does it say that finnicks district partner was decapitated?

Prezziesnow9704:)! 21:16, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

It doesm't say that. That that was Annie's partner and she went mad.

Chris Zylka for Finnick Odair
'Chris Zylka, from shows like 10 Things I Hate About You, and 90210'', has had big support from fans to be our Finnick Odair. Do you agree he is right for the part?'''

Chris Zylka need to play finnick, he's perfect! i'm so sick of people wanting alex pettyfer. he's too famou s, i want someone who is fairly unknown to hollywood!

The Importance of Finnick
I agree with all who think Finnick's death was horrible. Finnick is a favorite character, although he's deceased. After I read his death I stopped caring. Once Finnick died, I merely thought: Well, everybody may as well die now! He seemed so utterly important to many people--and quite frankly he seemed important to the who

le entire rebellion. Many may think Finnick was minor enough that he would be okay to eliminate and that certain major characters (Peeta and Gale) couldn't die. But, too me, Finnick was more important than Gale and Peeta sometimes (not all the time, sometimes!!) because he symbolized the hurt and pain of the districts, but now that he's dead, the hurt and pain seems as though it couldn't be healed....

Still, I love the books!!! And don't get me wrong, I do like Peeta also and Gale's.. okay!! But Finnick is just amazing!



Joey Graceffa for Finnick Odair
' Joey Graceffa, a youtuber, (famous for Winter Spring Pro and JoeyGraceffa'') has said, jokingly, that he would love to be Finnick Odair, and the fans have not stop trying to make that possible! Is Joey perfect for Finnick? '''

Ummm, Joey Graceffa is obviously the best role for Finnick! I mean you guys are like umm Joey's hair isn't the color of Finnick's. Well let's see... JOSH HUTCHERSON he dyed his hair. I mean if all the same people are in all the movies they get boring!

I think Joey would make a great Finnick. I'm disapointed in the people who say he can't act. You obviously haven't been subsribing long enough, or only seen one video. I don't think Alex Pettyfer would be able to pull it off, he's too famous..I know Liam, Josh, and Jennifer are famous too, but not everyone in the movie needs to be famous.

Although, we all know Joey is awesome...he isn't good looking enough to be Finnick. Maybe he can try out for a Pokemon movie someday.

Um Joey would be THE MOST AMAZING FRIGGEN FINNICK EVER. I'm Like Team Joey for Finnick 100%! I Love this videos and he is really good at acting. And WHO SAYS HE ISN'T GOOD LOOKING? I think he's really hot!! And totally good looking enough to be Finnick. The only part i don't like is that Joey would have to die :( Which would really make me sad :( But whatever, JOEY FOR FINNICK!!!!!

I'm sorry to say but I disagree... he doesn't have the finnick hottie boy look to him. YES... he could dye his hair... but he does NOT look like someone that thousands of people would be in love with and like he could ruthlessly kill people. He doesn't have like that hottie beach boy look.

I'm a dragon... RAWR! or Anneliese a.k.a. Annie a.k.a. the awesome one a.k.a. the one with the awesome sig a.k.a. her royal highness a.k.a. queen of the universe aka Iluvgale

He's an awesome guy and his fans just want his dream to come true. I'm one of his fans and I'd absolutely LOVE to see him there. And no one is kidding anyone when they say he "isn't right for Finnick because he's not beachy enough/not Finnick-looking" - he might not match YOUR description, but we shouldn't just give the role to some already-famous person; it's time to get someone else to shine. :)

Oh My God, Seriously??? Him for Finnick? Psssfff please. He aint nuthin' like a Finnick to me. Y'all is nuts!!!


 * 1) His voice? A chipmunk sounds better.


 * 1) His appearance? Is good looking. He is. BUT! Not Finnick enough. Actually, he's nowhere near Finnick Odair...at all. We need a manly, hunky, most sexiest beast to play Finnick!!!


 * 1) Acting. Its all about the acting. I wacth Joey youtube channel too. I subscribed to his channel for 3 years now and frankly, he aint have any acting experience. You fangirls (and boys) need to stop Trying to make Joey Odair happen. Its not going to. EVER!!!

Like i said. As a loving fan - which is as good as a fangirl but is not as bad, Joey Garceffa is not and will never be Finnick!!! He wanna act? Great! Act for other teen movies. But not this one.

Joey Graceffa for Finnick!!
Joey Graceffa needs to be Finnick.

He'd be the perfect Finnick.

He's a Great actor and he's really good looking.

Go on Youtube and search him, and you'll understand.

He's just...Very amazing<3

I'm once again going to disagree...he doesn't have the finnick hottie boy look to him. YES... he could dye his hair... but he does NOT look like someone that thousands of people would be in love with and like he could ruthlessly kill people. He doesn't have like that hottie beach boy look. And I personally don't think that he's a good enough actor... youtube is one thing... HOLLYWOOD big movie is COMPLETELY different.

I'm a dragon... RAWR! or Anneliese a.k.a. Annie a.k.a. the awesome one a.k.a. the one with the awesome sig a.k.a. her royal highness a.k.a. queen of the universe aka Iluvgale

I agree with Iluvgale. He doesn't have Finnick's vibe. I've never seen him act, but I wouldn't have high hopes for him. I also get kind of annoyed with his voice. But he is kinda hot... Gagafy6287 17:42, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

:(
I'm sad!

Because I want to see a picture of Finnick in his chariot costume.

Anyone elso want to?

GlimmerandSparkle 22:25, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Wow!! GlimmerandSparkle you keep going on and on about how much you love finnick, but then on Finnick's ACTUAL page you just say that your sad! Your previous comments seem very hard to believe now that I have read this. I just wanted to say that.

Finnick Odair
Whoever gets casted as Finnick im sure will be great. I do think it should be someone that is not TOO famous as he is most likely type-casted. There is so much pressure for that role! Good luck to whoever gets it!

Good fan-made video take a looksie!

http://youtu.be/UoYz5tzrRAU

Ian Somerhalder should def. Play Finnick in Catching Fire!!!!
Ian is hot and he could dye his hair and he is hot lol

This is what he looks like!! Hot right?

Ilovepeetaalot313 19:36, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Maybe he doesnt have to dye his hair lol Btw its soft and awesome!! I have felt his hair and I <3 it!!!!!! :D

Alex Pettyfer for Finnick
I've always pictured him as Finnick. He's around his age, looks like his description, and could pull of the acting.

PEOPLE LISTEN UP!!!!!!! (MAY BE SPOILERS)
WHY is everybody talking about actors on this page? The real (or imaginary) Finnick was much more amazing then any of them!!! I loved that he got to be happy with Annie for a while but even if he had lived I don't think it would have worked out.I am so mad as Pres. Snow for 'renting' out his body to sick capitol mutts. For that alone he should die slowly and painfully. I am also mad at Suzanne Collins because:

1) His death was really unneccary! I mean, he could have just made it up with them, easy as pie!

2) She had Katniss drop the Holo onto Finnick, making fanfictions about him living that much harder to write.

Sorry, I just <3ed Finnick to death so his death made me pretty mad!

Amazingness is mine! lol:) GlimmerandSparkle 16:43, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Bottom of the screen
Someone has to change Finnick to a Main Character at the bottom of the screen, not 'Other Tributes'. like seriously, Seneca Crane, main character!?

Amazingness is mine! lol:) GlimmerandSparkle 00:26, April 3, 2012 (UTC) YES! Omg in the movie they featured him WAYY more thanin he book! and i mean he was only mentioned maybe once..... if not he is't mentioned (in the 1st book)!

Ikr! i am seeing it again todaywooooh 108.49.101.112 14:58, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Actors.
Concerning the new actors... im on the Finnick Odair page because he is my most liked character in the upcomming movies. Now there arent many fans on here that care about the book in a way that i do, if you have seen the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" movie compared to the books, this was a total flop, i for one left the movies within 15 minutes of going into it, the only reason i actually watched it all the way through is because i was forced to, but that was a few months later. the whole idea of the movie was not good, Disney wanted to rush into it too fast in my opinion and therefore couldnt make more money with later movies mainly because of the actors. I was concerned that getting the new actors should be considered in alot more than their acting abilities. Finnick Odair for example HAS to be VERY big, just a BUFF dude and HAS TO BE TANNED and look very appealing in all ways possible as where the people that i am seeing advertised for the job, even on here are actually smaller and have less of a build than i do. people like the last 3 i see posted on the "talk" section of the page, a GLEE cast member with no build at all and young actors of all types, then youtuber's? where did that one come from haha. but on a serious note, Finnick Odair, Like all new characters comming along into this movie should be thought of how they are portrayed in the book mostly to help hold the attention of the audience, the people who i have seen that are wanting to try out the roll for him i believe they need at least another 50-80 pounds of muscle and alot more time in the sun, that whole spray tan stuff wont work, and at this point from the people i have seen i would much sooner pick a random guy from Jersey Shore, get the Situation in this Y'Know son? but if anyone of any importance to the movie reads this just throw it out there as food for thought, thanks for considering any of this if you do but for anyone who reads this, lets get a little conversation going on this and see if we can brainstorm some ideas, get some fan feed-back if you know what i mean.

and this is your wake-up call,

Concerned fan 22:45, April 9, 2012 (UTC)Concerned fanConcerned fan 22:45, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

While imagining how Finnick Odair looks like. I imagined Alex Pettyfer. The looks, the way he talk... Perfect! His hair... make it darker... it's bronze. His eyes sea green. His skin... slightly tanned.

I agree. Very perfect... 68.67.247.100 00:35, April 27, 2012 (UTC)



Finnick & Annie
I agree, Finnick's death was really unpredictable and heartwrenching. But it's Suzanne Collins' choice about the deaths, not her fans. Also, I would like to share with you this video I came across. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4mrlCfOIcw (James Gaisford really should play Finnick! SuperStripe100 01:25, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Finnick and Annie's love was awesome!!!! Finnick is great!!! Annie is great!!!! Baby Odair is.... well... a baby.

FINNICK ODAIR CAST?
IMDB listed Vampire Diaries actor Daniel Newman as playing Finnick Odair, and now every hunger games site I'm on is all talking about it. I LOVE Alex Pettyfer and Chris Hemsworth, but I think Daniel looks Exactly like I imagined Finnick to be when I read the books and all the Finnick art looks exactly like Daniel. I feel bad all the press is bashing him since he's not very famous compared to Alex and the other hot guys, but on twitter Daniel takes time to write everyone back and he's so sweet. He just is Finnick to me. I hope it's true. LisaMontgomery 06:08, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hunter Parish as Finnick


I think that Hunter Parish should be Finnick because he has the bronze golden hair and the eyes. He's also fit and athleteic. Search his name in Google Images and you'll be on my side too. Favoritegirl25 21:45, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

=
He had Annie and Annie needed him. I mean, he JUST GOT MARRIED!!!!! I was so sad when Finnick died beause he was quite a nice guy...and...ugh..... why is he dead? Poor Annie. True there, that his death wasn't even described to his honour=====

I miss Finnick!
OMG I totally agree Finnick was a good guy! And now Annie is all alone and probably even more paranoid that her own husband has died! We will always remember him! Tribute, Victor, Mentor, Friend, Boyfriend, Husband, Father, DEAD! :((((((((((((((((((I will miss you Finnick!!

I agree Finnick was a great guy.He will never meet his son and never see Katniss and Peeta's child.My heart broke when I read he died.He was my favourite character.In my opinion he was also the strongest and he helped Katniss through the tough peroid when Peeta was taken by Snow.HE DESERVED TO LIVE!!!

Sam Claflin is the only Finnick
I love the choice they made for Finnick.Sam Claflin is the best choice.There is 3 really great things about him:

1.He's brittish

2.He plays Finnick Odair

and

3.He looks great in the sugar cube scene
