Franchise Copycats

This video critically examines the Divergent film series and explores why it falls short compared to other Young Adult dystopian franchises like The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. Drawing from a detailed analysis, the video examines how Divergent attempts to mimic the success of its predecessors but fails to weave its borrowed concepts into a coherent or meaningful narrative. While The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner effectively blend mythology, philosophy, and real-world commentary into their stories, Divergent is criticized for using similar elements—like faction-based societies and walled cities—without a clear thematic foundation. The result is a clichéd, disjointed storyline that lacks the depth and originality of the franchises it tries to emulate.
