Okay, we get it! Battle Royal and The Hunger Games have the same generalized theme. Kids fight in an arena to death. Other than that the books are in no way, shape, or form the same! The things that make The Hunger Games a great book (characters, tone, and voice) are NOT in Battle Royal (Not that Battle Royal is a bad book).
So, is The Hunger Games a rip off of Battle Royal? The answer is no. In fact, the idea of youth on youth arena violence goes way back. So technically both are ripping off the ancient Greeks and Romans.
P.S. To all of the Battle Royal fans who have commented under the Hunger Games trailer saying "The Hunger Games is a crappy version of Battle Royal." Please understand that Battle Royal is NOT an original theme!
