29. The Divergent franchise

Premise of the movies: Divergent is another movies series based on a set of novels. Unlike The Hunger Games, this series took some twists and made changes from the books when transferred into the movies. The main character was viewed as stronger and some of the questions raised in the books were answered throughout different stages of the movies instead of towards the end.

The movies took fans through a dystopian future of five factions. People were forced to fit in with specific traits and personalities, but there were a group of people called the “divergent” who showed elements of all and weren’t as easy to control. The “divergent” helped to bring about a collapse of the factions and a change to the world.

Why they needs the Lego treatment: The movies certainly took a different focus compared to the books. There were new storylines introduced and characters changed for the sake of storylines. A Lego treatment would help to tell the story exactly as it was in the books.

Like with The Hunger Games, the series of books were told from the first-person point of view. This created some limitations, but Lego helps to step out of those limitations. It’s another series of stories that can be told from the imagination of whoever is managing the Lego.
