I've read both series (and seen most of the movies too), and it is a bit more complicated? They're just very different premises. Katniss is in an oppressive story that forces her to wrench whatever agency she can away from people in authority, and I think that's a perfectly okay kind of story? But it does become a different kind of story than the fans hoping for a Katniss-led revolution wanted.
It's just aggravating that they have to get pitted against each other at all, really! It's like the whole thing where fandom often shows love for one female character by ripping down others, and a lot of Katniss fans unfortunately do do that. :/
