I liked Gale because he was a realistic character. He is loyal to his values and overall a decent person, but is brutal to those that he perceives as threats. I think he was shafted for doing exactly what was necessary to win the war. Peeta answered injustice with compassion, whereas Gale answered it with justice.

[@polygenestudios5682]

Yeah, peeta was like a dog and katniss was the owner

[@PetitPoneyDuVercors26]

Replacing a bad injust system for another isn't great (Coin's government at first and her choices were totalitarians like snow's ones, fascism with another look but the same basis of social classes and uniting people against a group (the rebels/the ex capitol citizen)...same cult of war and hate culture and corruption and quest of power above everything else Gale is a character interesting because a lot of people are/were/will follow and serve an injust regime that use their hate against the previous one And that's quite sad because they're just used by the ones that want/ won the power... Peeta since the brainwash HAD to deal with his own hate and must control this feeling, hate wasn't something good in peeta's life, but in gale's life hate was a fuel without a lot of direct bad consequences... Context, the most important thing I think to understand the characters through their point of view and their experiences (peeta's brainwash was a key for him becoming a self controlled person with still his empathy, because he had to forgive himself and change and after that it's easier to learn to wait before killing people without a chance for them to change)

[@shes_lovely4006]

Katniss ended up with Peeta because she realized she’d been wrong about gale. When she met him he was kind, and caring, But over time it she realized it was only to her and his family. He was cold to other people and would kill anyone to survive- which was the exact thing katniss couldn’t bear anymore. Katniss is reckless, just like gale. They were the exact replica of the term “You can’t fight fire with fire.” Gale was always trying to make Katniss lose her rebellious side. While peeta was a dandelion in the beginning of spring. He maintained her fiery-soul and keeps it under control. Gale never realized how many people’s deaths she had on her consciousness. When gale talked about an uprising she knew he would kill to get what he wanted, and she was afraid to tell him that for every death you caused, it left a mark on your soul. She knew that when he made a bomb that would explode twice, killing medics and people who tried to save lives. In the end he couldn’t handle her insanity, he just brought more harm to her than help. He didn’t know how to help her deal with the trauma she had been through. Peeta did, he understood how it felt to lose family, he knew what she had done. He watched first hand as she killed others and watched her friends die one after another. He knew she had lost almost all the only people who understood what she had been through (Rue, finnick, wiress, etc. and almost Peeta and Johanna) He could tell her he knew, when gale couldn’t. He could comfort her, when gale couldn’t or didn’t know how to. He followed and watched over her, when gale didn’t. He never gave up on her, Gale did. I think Collins ended this series beautifully. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Not to mention gale became a big jerk in catching fire and mockingjay.

[@goldrush18x]

This shouldn’t be unpopular. People get so wrapped up in the love triangle they completely fail to see Gale for who he was. He was an impoverished teenager who was rightfully angry about the circumstances he grew up in. If Peeta had to grow up the way Gale did, singlehandedly forced to provide for his family and with a miserable and dangerous life of working in the mines ahead of him he probably would’ve turned out just as angry. Peeta was so much more privileged than Gale was and that’s why he was able to see things differently.

[@aph1976]

@@goldrush18x Yes Peeta may have had a more privileged life than Gale but that doesn't mean he had better life overall.For example did Peeta have loving parents/siblings?

[@goldrush18x]

Gale is not as cold and uncaring as people claim he is. He cared a lot for Katniss, her family, and the people of District 12. He doesn’t deserve the hate he gets from Peeta and Katniss shippers. People should remember that he was only 19 years old. He was just a kid who got carried away during the war and was manipulated by a power hungry adult.

[@ooostarb3rryooo]

The one thing I love about the books is the realistic characters, and their reactions to other character's actions being accurate. As much as I wanted Katniss to end up with Gale, realistically there's no way a person could forgive someone for indirectly killing their sibling without even apologizing. I wouldn't be surprised if Katniss still didn't continue the friendship even if he did. Katniss ended up compassionate despite everything the Capital did, and still had the empathy to save people. Even the Capital's people. Gale didn't have that same compassion, because everything the capital did made him hate everything but Katniss. Which I think is very representative and true with how people respond to trauma. Not everyone is going to respond to trauma the same. Some people end up trying to help the world, while others don't mind it burning down.

[@louisatrow4933]

Agreed! Not on the gale but anyway! I agree with a lot of what you said, but I feel like people overlook the hanging tree song. Yes, its a song about his lover running to death with him. But the line "If we met at midnight in the hanging tree" is interesting. This is because in cf, we see Katniss and Peeta within the plot to get rid of the careers with the lightening tree, notice how they say "See you at midnight". And the hanging tree is about two lovers meeting at midnight at a tree (more meeting in death but thats how the lyrics appear).

[@aident5663]

Gale was a fine character, but honestly, in Catching Fire he turned into a crybaby. Katniss was going through a lot with Peeta and being a victor, and Gale kept making her life more difficult instead of better, so I actually lost a lot of respect for Gale (I read the books, but that’s my opinion on Gale.)

Gale was such a well written character, but after re-reading the series again I still just can’t believe how he never really takes into account what Katniss (and Peeta) went through. Granted, Katniss wasn’t one to be open about her feelings. It just felt like it was all about him and his anger.

[@hiswayservicesblog9288]

Yeah.

[@asharachae]

as Katniss said, she had enough fire in herself and she didn't anyone to fuel it. Peeta had a spark on him too, but not that kind like Gale that would burn and destroy anything in its path. A spark that is warm and feels like home, something that Katniss needs after everything that happened. I think if Katniss and Gale ended up, it will feel like 'war' would never left them. I see Gale as a person who struggles for a purpose when he's not trying to survive, so I don't really see him as a family guy who would be at peace when settled down.

My hot take is Gale has always been one of my favorites. I loved his relationship with Katniss because they paired so well together as friends. People also overlook the fact that when they disagree, both of them still try to listen to the other! Gale knew that she was probably going to end up with Peeta, but he still never stopped loving her and took care of her family. He is responsible for saving over 900 people during the district 12 bombing. I also found his hatred for the capital extremely justified. I don’t blame him for Prims death since he didn’t make the plan and only planned the weapons and Coin sent her there knowing how the weapons worked. She directly caused her death, not Gale. Gale was in the middle of war only trying to get back at the people who wronged him and the people he loved! I understand why people may not like him, but he’s always been my favorite:)

[@hiswayservicesblog9288]

I totally do not blame him at all for being angry and hateful at the Capitol! But Katniss didn't want him to let that eat him up, and make choices that later on he may not be able to live with, like her and Peeta had to. Yes, Cato and the other Careers were cruel, but they were still innocent children. Even after what they did, Katniss grieved for them and that she'd had to kill Cato.

Very well said! I understand why people dislike him, but I honestly think a lot of the hate for him is overdone.

I don’t blame Katniss for her reaction about the Nut at all! But they had to take over that place bc it supplied the Capital with weapons and they blew up an innocent hospital. I’m also pretty sure the people were soldiers, and Gale even included an escape for them too. Now for the Capital Plaza, I believe Gale would never have ordered/supported that.

There was this interesting scene in the movies where right before the bombs fall into Capitol, Gale gets captured by the peace keepers and screams “Katniss, shoot me!!” He probably shouted this because he might’ve thought he would get tortured by Capitol and Peeta did, but what struck me was that it was a metaphor for Katniss saying goodbye to Gale, shooting him out of his life.

It was horrible how their friendship became fractured in the end. Gale loved Prim like his family. He would do ANYTHING for her to keep her safe. He'd NEVER DREAM of harming little Primrose! And yet, he was partially responsible for her death.

[@ArsenalBowler]

I feel that after Prim's death, he realized he had reached the point of no return. His actions had very real and severe consequences, along with mental toll of war. He had to do what he had to do to help the rebellion win the war, and doing anything otherwise could've resulted in a much more catastrophe ending to the war for him and the ones he cared about. His bravery and proactiveness as a leader helped to evacuate district 12 survivors to district 13, helped to rescue Peeta and the other victors from the capitol and overall played a key part in the rebellion's victory. This made him realize there was no way he could let compassion and morality get in the way of what he had to do for the greater cause, and there was nothing he could've done about Prim's death because ultimately Coin's leadership was a key reason the rebellion won, and her evil side of wanting to destroy katniss and killing her sister was simply something they could've nothing about if the rebellion was to win. Realizing there was nothing he could do to ever make it up to Katniss, he hardened up and realized it was the end of their relationship and there were no points in tears over what-could-have-been but isn't reality.

Collins writing of Gale was daring as well as brilliant. Instead of giving him a "twirling mustache" she makes you understand while that type can be both reprehensible yet essential for the greater good. If not a film remake I'd love to see the non-family friendly script adaption of this series.

[@aliciam4862]

I think many people misunderstand Gale and his purpose in the series. He wasn’t perfect and I agree that Peeta was overall a better person (and the one that Katniss was in love with) but Gale was a good one too. I read the books first and until I reached the internet I seriously didn’t know I was supposed to hate him! In the movies he’s shown as a jealous, controlling friend who basically follows Katniss everywhere she goes. In the books Katniss actually needs Gale (e.g in 8 in the hospital) and often finds her way back to him. He was a huge support for her when no one else was there - when they were kids and in 13 when Peeta was held prisoner, Finnick was nearly sick because of Annie and Katniss couldn’t even look at Haymitch. Gale made her laugh and cared for her and she cared about him, though not in a romantic way. But next to Prim (and later Peeta) Gale was one if the most important people in her life. Gale always protected Katniss, her family and innocent people. I know he might have created the terrible bomb and it’s wrong. But while thinking about it I think we should remember that Gale lost his father because of the Capitol and he and his family suffered from hunger because of the Captiol. This is something that makes you do crazy things. I think we should cut him some slack. He wasn’t a bad person and I don’t think he deserved to die like many are saying. I’m totally team Peeta and Katniss btw!

[@hiswayservicesblog9288]

I agree. Walk in Gale's shoes, and you'll understand. The difference between him and Katniss is, she didn't want the fire inside her to eat her alive and she was scared it would, while Gale welcomed it to with him.

[@williamcowell1889]

Yes, even though Gale created the bomb that eventually killed Prim, I still believe Katniss would of chosen Peta. Peta was the only person that could elate and sympathize to Katniss’ experience in the arena and the horrors they experienced.

[@leslievargas2133]

Did he ever end up with anyone? Did he have kids? Did he die alone?? I need to know

[@rowanaforrest9792]

If I recall, Gale did get married, and not very long after leaving Katniss for the last time. I suppose, being widely regarded as a war hero, having an important job, and being handsome, it was easy for him to find a wife. The books told us nothing about his wife or whether they had kids, but I imagine they did.

Not only that but they both represent sides of war and revolution. Peeta is peace, diplomacy and compassion, whereas Gale represented combat, justice and rebellion.

And just because the resources are there, does not mean there exists the means to capitalize on those resources in an efficient manner.
