Why Did We Forget About DIVERGENT So Fast?

The irony was that the whole premise is that Tris has a personality...and yet she has absolutely no personality.

Dylan : Beer and a movie Me: that’s a misdirect

Let's be real, the "honest" faction could have been hilariously chaotic if the book had better writing

Katniss would have literally killed whoever was responsible if she found out that Panemn was being watched by someone outside who could have intervened to stop the games but didn't

“Why did we forget about Divergent so fast?” Maybe cuz I was actively trying to repress the memories after that awful ending

Nobody: Dylan at every chance he has: Guys my college SHUT DOWN!

Divergent is like that series that randomly comes to my mind every couple years for no reason, before I up and forget it exists again

I liked the end of the last movie when she said “It’s Divergin’ Time” and Diverged all over the place

The divergent series is just like my essays, slowly getting worse until it’s complete garbage and doesn’t even finish

If someone gave Dylan a dollar everytime he mentioned his shitty uni being shut down because of lack of funding, he would single handedly be able to fund its reopening.

I’m I the only one who realizes that the emoji movie and divergent have basically the same plot? I mean think about it: our hero lives in a world where they have no choice but to join a faction based off what they’re chosen to be, but the protagonist has more than one “personality traits” so a oppressive female leader vows to destroy them or make them like everyone else. They also both have a love interest who’s mysterious and full of secrets, a highly advanced but oppressive society, and have been heavily criticized for ripping off previous works! Except ones a desperate attempt to be relevant with the kids, and the others a movie for moody 14 year old girls who think they’re better than everyone else.

The fact that the book Divergent was written in 3 weeks is crazy impressive. An entire book. Damn.

this whole movies conflict is that the main character has a personality

dylan: "you can't write a book in three weeks" yeah dylan, you've been writting a book for three years so... you should know

I think a major issue with Divergent (along with all of those Hunger Games copycats) is that a lot of them really failed to understand the actual meaning of the original trilogy. Hunger Games was a fun sandbox with a love triangle and a cool, capable female protagonist, but that's not what the narrative itself was actually about. It was about the horrors of capitalism, about commercialism, about class, about Hollywood and desensitization—in the book, anyway. Movie's a different story, but the point remains. Divergent, on the other hand, isn't really about anything. Tris and Four and the sandbox they're stuck in are all it's got. Even that could've been good if their relationship SAID something about anything, but it doesn't. Well. Metatextually, it says something about the state of YA literature, but... I don't think the author meant to do that.

Not me spending 4+ years planning my sci-fi novel without writing a single word only to find out that Roth wrote Divergent in 3 weeks 💀

Dylan: *realizes he almost spilled wine on his white pants* Dylan: “whew that was close” Dylan: *claps using wine glass moments later*

I can’t believe I laughed out loud at the “repetitiveness in speech” joke 😂

"she's the protagonist, she can't die...yet" This made me laugh so hard but also cry at the same time!! 😂😂

The factions seem like they were inspired by the main 6 in My Little Pony. Honesty-Apple Jack Bravery- Rainbowdash (loyalty) Peaceful-Fluttershy (kindness) Smart-Twilight Selfless- Rarity (generosity) I'm gonna go with Pinkie Pie is Divergent because she is kind and generous :) But with MLP these traits were given to 6 individual characters. I don't understand what's up with the idea of sorting personalities into 4 or 5 groups but maybe the author was watching mlp on her winter break
