We have an addiction to 3 things
1. Dystopian governments allowing us to bash our current government by making some sense of relevancy between them.
2. Forcing people to fight in an arena with each person having a specific skillset or powers. Them being teenagers adds to it because it allows the youth to relate and allows adults to pity.
3. The love triangle is the easiest way to bring in the modern female and Katniss loves the attention she gets from both of them. The feeling she gets when gale kisses her and grips her with his rough hands, when Peeta holds her, etc.
