The first movie and "Fault in Our Stars" both came out in 2014, which meant that we had to see Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort go from playing siblings, to being boyfriend and girlfriend who are both dying from cancer, offering us even more heartbreak and angst.
Literally my stomach was clenched the entire movie!! I somehow own the entire "Divergent" book trilogy and "The Fault in Our Stars" movie and book and I STILL have to imagine different people when I read the books.
It is ironic that everyone thinks the government is tracking us through vaccines when we should worry about people considering using happy serum or the killing serum on us.
I love how Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller played lovers in The Spectacular Now, then played rivals (Peter being a fcking terrorist) in Divergent. And Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort playing siblings in Divergent, then playing lovers in The Fault in Our Stars. The crossovers are wild. It’s fr a multiverse with them.
Random storytime: I was obsessed with this series in middle school and read the first 2 books a ton of times. But when I was reading the last book for the first time, I was on a super long car ride with a bunch of kids from my youth group. When one of the girls saw me start reading that book, (spoilers ahead) she turned to me and said, "oh my gosh, isn't it so crazy that Tris dies in that book?" She spoiled the book for me right when I started reading it, and I'm still not over it. I still to this day have not reread the third book because I just go into a blind rage anytime I think about this girl spoiling it for me
Omg it was the same for me! Except it was a friends who spoiled it for me and she didn’t even read the books, nor watch the movies! I have no idea where she got it from but I was so frustrated that’s just never finished reading the series.
I love Divergent, I think Insurgence is ok, and I don’t like Allegiant! It was definitely a down turn 😂 Also, Peter?! Amanda… it isn’t a love triangle. He’s just a bully
When I first read Allegiant I suspected Tris was going to die at the end because the book had suddenly switched to being told by Tris and Tobias perspective and the cover said she must make her Final choice, emphasising the word final in bold. It was the first and only book I read where the main character dies and the first time I predicted the ending correctly.
four doesn’t kill tris not because of the power of true love but because tris stares into his eyes since one of four’s fears is looking into the eyes of an innocent someone he has to kill. she used his fear against him it’s BRILLIANT
It would be brilliant in a better story 😭 I'm just never going to get over their "training" being teenage cage matches with no meaningful instruction or conditioning or anything
No one ever believes me when I tell them that most of the third book is them just hanging out at the Chicago Airport basically watching a reality show of their friends inside the city...Like it is a trip man!
Not even going to lie the fact that Tris was so insufferable after the first book, I wanted to see her die in the movies. It was the only reason I watched them, since Christina was shelved. THEN SHE DIDNT EVEN DIE 😭
I read the Divergent series in my early teen years and at that point I hadn't read anything where the main character died so I thought she'd survive and then she didn't, which has stuck with me ever since. from then on whenever it looked like the main character could die in the book I got nervous because I'd lost that faith that the main character never dies and I didn't want to see another character I got attached to die.
When I was reading it for the first time I did not notice that Tris died😅😂. I read the part were Tobias is told that she is dead and was like "wait? Whaaat?" I went back and reread it. Main character died and I didn't feel anything 😂
I don't even want to make fun of two teenagers worrying about the age gap of 2 years, when there are so many books out there portraying unhealthy relationships of the teacher - student kind, but 2 years? That's so sweet and perfectly normal
Amanda, it is only right that you take the next logical step in this YA book to screen series and recap Twilight! Or recap the rest of The Lunar Chronicles.
I was never a divergent girlie (after reading the hunger games divergent didn't really do it for me lol) but I LOVED the shatter me series.😂I would love to hear you recap it if you read it back in the day😆❤
Oh my God, yes, not enough. People talk about shatter me. I am still to this day obsessed with it. I have my issues with it, but shatter me was everything to my teenage brain
I was a Divergent kid, and even though I’ve since expanded my dystopia palette and can admit that it’s kind of weak objectively, I can’t hate it. Is it basically the junk food of YA dystopia? Yeah, but junk food tastes GOOD- If I want a story with something to say, I’ll go read Hunger Games. But when I just want some mindless YA fun, I go to Divergent. (Not the last book, though. We don’t talk about that book-)
I bought all the books at goodwill a few years ago and read all of them and immediately sold them the moment I finished all of them because I hated the series so much 😋😋
I never made it through the farm cult in book 2. It was so boring! Peeta, Peter... I look forward to learning more about the other "Peet" guys you like in YA.
i would like to confess for my sins. as a young 10 year old, my parents bought me the divergent series before the Hunger Games, so needless to say, i was a divergent girly first
I always thought Al tried to kill Tris with Peter because a couple scenes before he tried to make a move on Tris and put his arm around her, and she rejected him, so he was angry. I loved this recap! Truly brought me back to 6th grade 😂
Yes, and afterwards he tried to apologise to Tris and she didn't forgive him. Which is why he killed himself and Tris blamed herself for not forgiving him and felt so guilty about it.
No, I thought in the book, Al was so homesick and scared that he felt self-conscious of himself and then Tris doing so well in the last first half that Peter tried to accuse her of using her size and limited strength to gain sympathy from everyone and then being pushed out because of her.
it's the fact that i just watched divergent after putting it off for years just because i saw you made a video about it, deadass just wanted to watch ur video so bad i sat down and watched a whole film. it's literally 03:36 rn and i am so ready to watch 42 minutes and 31 seconds more minutes of you being completely unhinged recapping another book/film series. i love you and your videos ong the way you explain stuff makes more sense than anything my teachers ever tried to teach in school
I remember watching it on cable with my dad once and I think we both enjoyed it 😭 Though I never got around the sequels. No regrets though I probably won't like it as much now even if I can't deny the nostalgia.
I was always a hunger games girlie so I never bothered with the divergent series but this recap will do just fine! Never knew what the series was about
Tries went from wanting to die because of guilt but also the grief of losing her family. She was traumatized from taking Will's life, losing her parents and her brother's betrayal. Then she wanted to stay alive because she felt she had a greater purpose. Her forgiveness of Caleb to the point where she put her own life in danger at the end was so incredible to me when I read the books and then the movie didn't include any of it.
I just realized that I don’t remember the characters at all, like, yeah I remember the stuff that happens in general but who was in this? Tris and four where a couple, that’s easy to remember, but how many friends did Tris had? The brother was evil or something? Although I do vividly remember how when reading the books the four I imagined did look like a teenager as he was supposed to be but then in the movie was 28 yo Theo James and I was so disappointed but all my friends where super into him and I was like “girl, I’m 16, let me thirst over people my age” (I don’t remember exactly how old was Four supposed to be, but Tris was 16, soooo) I just got to the point where you mentioned he’s 18, still a teenager that should look like a teenager
When I read the books I remember being disappointed by the ending and confused the entire time, and then started watching the movies, but wasn't able to make it through. Thank you for the recap! Also, did you ever read the Maximum Ride series? I vaguely remember reading them in middle school, and I don't remember much aside from New York and a line mentioning ground beef (?) and braces. Don't know if you could/would do a recap on them (don't feel pressured), but I thought I could put the idea out here!
Maybe this is because I read the series as a jaded adult, but while I liked the first book in particular, I NEVER understood the Factionless rules. If you switch Factions at 16 and then wash out of training, why can’t you just…go back to the Faction you were raised in? You were presumably doing fine there at age 15 & 1/2. Why create a permanent underclass that will never (by design) contribute anything to society? It’s effectively a death sentence. Genuine totalitarianism societies would either wipe out or enslave this type of powerless non-citizen, but this society just kind of shuffles them off into areas right outside the factions? This seems guaranteed to generate an angry rebellious horde that will at the very least invade spaces of the factions to get food, medicine, and other necessities.
Tbh, I think the main incentive behind having a factionless group is 1) reinforcing the need to comply to whatever norms created within a faction. When you're in the faction you're born into, your parents are in charge of making sure you're compliant of the rules. The choosing ceremony is a means to a degree create false sense of individual choice. Although they are encouraged to pick whatever faction interests them regardless of test results, they are also reminded each choice is permanent: from the faction chosen, to the name change, to whether they stay or not in their new faction. If successful in assimilating to the chosen faction, they'll be more likely to comply with what's socially expected. If they fail, then they have to live to regret the choice of exercising free will, and serve as reminders in making the correct choice. 2) It is most likely that the factionless was also in part created to alienate and round up divergents. While some are able to adapt to their chosen faction, others may find it difficult to assimilate and may, to a degree, rebel or break a faction rule. Intentionally or not, they may cross a boundary which then pushes them out of their chosen area. Nobody entirely knows why each factionless is in their situation, but the possibility of them being classified as divergent and unable to fit in is a morbid but curious thought many people may have.
Unpopular opinion but I actually like the series (the books, that is). I genuinely cried when Tris died but like I was so hooked. Not sure if I reread it I would still be as hooked but I’m not as interested in reading a lot of new books anyway anymore
i didn’t finish the last book, i barely started it, thought it was weird we were suddenly seeing fours perspective and then my friend told me what happened to tris in the end so i am learning some new stuff today 😭 kinda reminds me of maze runner
How do I insert "Ah, I see You're a Man of Culture as Well" meme to express my reaction to you love for Miles Teller? honestly, 1st person who crushes on him as well
I was so pissed when Beatrice died, like it was so avoidable, and she died for quite noooo reason. Either way I wanted four to kiss me on the mouth so bad
When i read this in middle school i didnt really care about Tris but i was obsessed with Tobias and like all his trauma that when Tris died I cried so hard no for her dying but that because he had lost another person he loved and he would be alone again
Ok I just need to say. I was horribly disappointed when the ending of the trilogy was changed. The original ending in the books in my opinion made so much more sense in a story telling point of view, and left the movie feeling incomplete.
Honestly thank you so much I just finished watching Alligent Part One and I was like wtf is this 😂😂 how did it actually end. Thank you for the book recap
Meanwhile here I was, totally obsessing over the Uglies series in middle school... and they are now making a movie. Now. F****** twenty years later. I hope its good at least...
I've always wanted to read these books but never got the chance to. I wasn't allowed to spend too much money on books, so I had a limit of 1 book per (insert something here) and the one time I found the Divergent book there was also another book I really wanted to read 😅
I’m really really enjoying the video so far! I’d consider looking at your mic levels and lowering them a bit cos your sound is a bit hot. But that’s me being an annoying film student - this is a great video essay!
I read the books and I eventually grew out of the series, but one thing never changed was that Hunger Games was better in story, characters, and commentary. I hate them (characters) all, but Peter was the worst in my opinion. Susan was nice.
The first movie and "Fault in Our Stars" both came out in 2014, which meant that we had to see Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort go from playing siblings, to being boyfriend and girlfriend who are both dying from cancer, offering us even more heartbreak and angst.
The whiplash was real 😵💫
WHY ARE YOU FUCKING EVERYWHERE WTAF
Not to mention Miles Teller and her being a couple on ANOTHER movie around the same time so you saw Tris kissing her brother and also Peter
Literally my stomach was clenched the entire movie!! I somehow own the entire "Divergent" book trilogy and "The Fault in Our Stars" movie and book and I STILL have to imagine different people when I read the books.
the good old days XD
The way that 90% of this book series is dependent on serums girl wtf
As I read your comments she said “serum” again 😭😭
@@sarahswanson7745 NO BECAUSE ITS INVOLVED IN EVERY MAJOR PLOT POINT FJDJSJD
It is ironic that everyone thinks the government is tracking us through vaccines when we should worry about people considering using happy serum or the killing serum on us.
I like to think they used serums to not say the word dr**s lmao
The serums made me sick of the series
Girl you woke up and put all your “I can fix him” energy into the worst sack of man you could’ve found
It's just Miles Teller, i also couldn't help it, Four who?
I died a little bit inside every time she said "my man" 😭
Exactly like he isn’t even worth it
Honestly the fact that they were in CHICAGO the whole time killed me as a teenager 😂
I love how Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller played lovers in The Spectacular Now, then played rivals (Peter being a fcking terrorist) in Divergent. And Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort playing siblings in Divergent, then playing lovers in The Fault in Our Stars.
The crossovers are wild. It’s fr a multiverse with them.

I am so sorry that happened omg. I'd be mad as hell too 😭
i wouldve bitch slapped ngl
That SUCKSSSS
girl that’s crazy that she thought “oh she’s reading a book let me talk about a major plot point”
Omg it was the same for me! Except it was a friends who spoiled it for me and she didn’t even read the books, nor watch the movies! I have no idea where she got it from but I was so frustrated that’s just never finished reading the series.
I remember finishing the last book when I was younger while on the toilet and I was sobbing 😭
so real
Hunger Games and Divergent?? Now only the Maze Runner movies are left to complete the (holy) trio of the 2010s ya dystopian movies 👀
Yes! She has to do that! I LOVED the maze runner series!!!
EXACTLY THATS WHAT IM SAYING
HUNGER GAMES AND THEN DIVERGENT?? AMANDA IS FEEDING US
If she gives us maze runner we’ll get the big three of YA novels
I love Divergent, I think Insurgence is ok, and I don’t like Allegiant! It was definitely a down turn 😂
Also, Peter?! Amanda… it isn’t a love triangle. He’s just a bully
not even a bully didn't he literally try to kill her in the first book 😭😭😭
yeah i liked only the first book.
The fact that I was obsessed with this series in middle school while being undiagnosed neurodivergent can't be ignored
Literally same
Help 😭
This was a heat seeking missile strike targeted at me
No same 😂
When I first read Allegiant I suspected Tris was going to die at the end because the book had suddenly switched to being told by Tris and Tobias perspective and the cover said she must make her Final choice, emphasising the word final in bold.

They were in O’hare?
@@aaishaahmad-x3v I don’t think the airport is ever named but it’s right outside the area of Chicago that’s walled off so I always assumed it was.
can you do a percy jackon one? love this video series of yours, it's like chatting with a close and fun friend 💕
yessss I'd love to see Amanda go through that series too !!!!
Dude when I say I’ve fallen face first into Tio Ricks books it’s all of them I hope he finishes Magnus Chase’s story
@@GayVampireNearUmagnus chase has actually been finished for quite a while already as it's only a trilogy
Divergent is just about the horrors of standardized testing 😂
Omg your right
Not even going to lie the fact that Tris was so insufferable after the first book, I wanted to see her die in the movies. It was the only reason I watched them, since Christina was shelved. THEN SHE DIDNT EVEN DIE 😭
Literally my exact thought process 💀 i was so happy when she died in the books
Girl was just traumatised 😭
tbf she was supposed to but they never released the final movie
I was so upset when that didn’t happen in the movie
I read the Divergent series in my early teen years and at that point I hadn't read anything where the main character died so I thought she'd survive and then she didn't, which has stuck with me ever since. from then on whenever it looked like the main character could die in the book I got nervous because I'd lost that faith that the main character never dies and I didn't want to see another character I got attached to die.
Totally forgot about mentioning the bonus short story where Four and Christina end up together years later after the book series ends. 🤣
We don't talk about that.
When I was reading it for the first time I did not notice that Tris died😅😂. I read the part were Tobias is told that she is dead and was like "wait? Whaaat?" I went back and reread it. Main character died and I didn't feel anything 😂
oh my gosh it’s like we’re telepathically connected and you knew just what i needed
I don't even want to make fun of two teenagers worrying about the age gap of 2 years, when there are so many books out there portraying unhealthy relationships of the teacher - student kind, but 2 years? That's so sweet and perfectly normal
The fact that I don’t remember Tris dying and Four becoming a politician is probably a sign I need to reread these books
Amanda bringing back all my childhood hyper fixations I absolutely love it ❤
Divergent was my fandom when I was 12 to the point that I ran a fan page on Facebook 😭 It really was wild.
Amanda, it is only right that you take the next logical step in this YA book to screen series and recap Twilight! Or recap the rest of The Lunar Chronicles.
I was never a divergent girlie (after reading the hunger games divergent didn't really do it for me lol) but I LOVED the shatter me series.😂I would love to hear you recap it if you read it back in the day😆❤
Oh my God, yes, not enough. People talk about shatter me. I am still to this day obsessed with it. I have my issues with it, but shatter me was everything to my teenage brain
You should do the maze runner!! To continue the teen dystopia thing after hunger games and divergent!
I was a Divergent kid, and even though I’ve since expanded my dystopia palette and can admit that it’s kind of weak objectively, I can’t hate it.
Is it basically the junk food of YA dystopia? Yeah, but junk food tastes GOOD-

miss amanda, can you please to a recap of all of the percy jackson books? i need your commentary before the new show comes out 🤭🤭

I remember watching it on cable with my dad once and I think we both enjoyed it 😭 Though I never got around the sequels. No regrets though I probably won't like it as much now even if I can't deny the nostalgia.
Cannot believe they put Tobias with her best friend. Also cannot believe Peter is your fav 😭 I wish these books were different

Uriah did not deserve to die, especially since he was my favorite character he was like the finnick of divergent
Bro he died??when??
I watch divergent for the plot
The plot: *Theo James*
Unpopular opinion but I actually like the series (the books, that is). I genuinely cried when Tris died but like I was so hooked. Not sure if I reread it I would still be as hooked but I’m not as interested in reading a lot of new books anyway anymore
Thank you! Like idc I like it leave me alone
i didn’t finish the last book, i barely started it, thought it was weird we were suddenly seeing fours perspective and then my friend told me what happened to tris in the end so i am learning some new stuff today 😭 kinda reminds me of maze runner
Spoilers
I fully knew Tris was going to die the first time I read the last book because she started doing the different povs
How do I insert "Ah, I see You're a Man of Culture as Well" meme to express my reaction to you love for Miles Teller? honestly, 1st person who crushes on him as well
I was so pissed when Beatrice died, like it was so avoidable, and she died for quite noooo reason.
Either way I wanted four to kiss me on the mouth so bad
If you've read it, could you please do a video on the darkest minds book series?
Girl... I was a Peter girl too!! Literally, the only reason I held on through the series 🤭
honestly i think i just have a crush on miles teller bc peters straight up a trickster demon cause why did he switch up that much like my GUY reLAX
TBF I think 16 is "of age" in this universe, so I don't think the two year age gap is that much of a big deal
I understand the peta girl mentality. ALSO this is the best notification I got all day. Love you girl
Omg yes my favourite book series apart from the hunger games!
I really wanna see you talk about fourth wing and iron flame!!
Great breakdown of Divergent! It reminded me a lot of CronoRevolution, but with some pretty unique twists. Definitely worth a read! 📖✨
When i read this in middle school i didnt really care about Tris but i was obsessed with Tobias and like all his trauma that when Tris died I cried so hard no for her dying but that because he had lost another person he loved and he would be alone again
The fact that she survived being shot twice, and a breath serum, AND STILL DIED I was so shocked
Ok I just need to say. I was horribly disappointed when the ending of the trilogy was changed. The original ending in the books in my opinion made so much more sense in a story telling point of view, and left the movie feeling incomplete.
i love how you left out that Four and Christina end up together 😂
Absolutely love that you latched onto Peter lol like genuinely good for you. Sometimes you need yourself a terrible boy.
Honestly thank you so much I just finished watching Alligent Part One and I was like wtf is this 😂😂 how did it actually end. Thank you for the book recap
Meanwhile here I was, totally obsessing over the Uglies series in middle school... and they are now making a movie. Now. F****** twenty years later. I hope its good at least...
This comment aged like milk lol
When I finished the series, I was SO ANGRY!!! Then I heard about what happened in We Can Be Mended, and I lost it.
I've always wanted to read these books but never got the chance to.
I wasn't allowed to spend too much money on books, so I had a limit of 1 book per (insert something here) and the one time I found the Divergent book there was also another book I really wanted to read 😅
Take a shot every time she says "serum"
MAZE RUNNER RECAP NEXTTT!!!
i read these books in like 2014 and LOVED THEM but idk how i blocked all of this out of my head omg??? the movies are so different??? HAHAHA
A girl I went to highschool with got to be an extra in one of the movies and I was so jealous of her 😅 she was in erudite.
The way I laughed my ass off after she popped in with “And then Lynn died.” 😭😭😭
Where's my Uriah stans?
I’m really really enjoying the video so far! I’d consider looking at your mic levels and lowering them a bit cos your sound is a bit hot. But that’s me being an annoying film student - this is a great video essay!
bro i beg u to recap house of night. those books are ridiculous but used to be my guilty pleasure 😭
So we’re just not going to mention the last epilogue? Good.
Peeta, Peter...
Next book boyfriend for Amanda is probably Pedro, or Pietro 😅
Woooah. The books are way more different than the movies!
Have you read “Four” yet? It would be so good to get that recap
I always feel it would've been cool if all her bravery was attached to her selflessness
amanda constantly trying to fix these men will never not be funny 😭
I read the books and I eventually grew out of the series, but one thing never changed was that Hunger Games was better in story, characters, and commentary. I hate them (characters) all, but Peter was the worst in my opinion. Susan was nice.
as a DIE hard divergent fan thank you so much. also eric coulter should've been redeemed and saved ugh
Girlie, I can't judge you cause I was one of the weird Eric girls during the movies 😅
There seems to be a lot of serums in these books.
To be honest I hated this series. It was so dark and so, so unsettling 99% of the time that the ending didn’t even fix anything for me
Omg I tried to read this book but couldn’t finish it 😭
