Like I know he's the head gamemaker, but i mean seriously, madge is MUCH more important than him. i know he let k/p live, but still......madge did more than him?
(Well Seneca Crane plays a big part in Mockingjay (Book 3). He's also the one that saves Katniss in the end of Catching Fire (Book 2). If you haven't read the last 2 books yet I would seriously recommend it before you see the movie. But yeah I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE! XD) WAIT! Sorry scratch that. Seneca Crane was executed for letting both Peeta and Katniss live. Yeah that's right. Don't listen to what I wrote above. It's late and I'm tired... XD
Seneca Crane was the game maker of the 74th hunger games and let two tributes win aka Katniss and Peeta. Seneca Crane was the executed because of that because the capitol felt like having two tributes win was a defeat for the capitol because it showed that the capitol lost control and therefore can't completely control everything..which was what all districts were used to at the time, or at least until Katniss and Peeta 'rebelled'. From a film aspect, Seneca Crane is important because they might use him to advance the plot and Crane might also be a huge transition piece from the first movie to the next (since he was kind of the reason for fueling the flames of the rebellion). I LOVED Madge too, and I am not entirely sure why they left her out, though she seemed important in the book she really wasn't. She only gave the symbol of the rebellion and helped Katinss here and there, but she wasn't really a plot advancing character...I mean anyone could have helped Katniss and given her the mockingjay...most likely Cina will be giving her the pin in the movie because he is Katniss' stylist. TEAM PEETA RULES!!!!!!!
