Things Get a Bit Hairy in the New Hunger Games Trailer

• http://www.wired.com,ANGELA WATERCUTTER

As the new Mockingjay—Part 2 trailer proves, the answer is "both." Folks stan hard for Lawrence, but Suzanne Collins wrote a pretty good saga in her original book trilogy and it's managed to translate well to the screen. But in the end there is still just Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) and her quest to take down the totalitarian government lead by President Snow (Donald Sutherland), and this latest trailer shows just how crazy things will get before that journey comes to an end. (Bless Katniss for showing the power of the individual without getting totally Rand-ian about it.) The saga ends Nov. 20.
Pause at: 0:14 for walking through the snow to Snow. 0:30 for a Plutarch Heavensbee (hilip Seymour Hoffman)/Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks)/Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) 1-2-3 punch. 0:45 for the march on the Capitol. 1:14 for the 76th annual Hunger Games. 1:45 for mad archery skills. Those parachutes at 2:02! Heartbreaking hugs at 1:18. 1:48 for Peeta wisdom. Anywhere from 2:12 to 2:15 for "aaahhhhh!"
