Hey there 👋🏾 I noticed 2 slightly incorrect things in this video 1. At 7:20 you meant to say 67th Hunger Games instead of 76th 2. At 8:45 you said Haymitch threw himself off the cliff, he actually didn't, he threw a large/medium sized rock off of it and it bounced backed to him. I'm only saying this because if he threw his entire body down the cliff he would have died on Impact because that's what happened to Blight in Catching Fire. I just thought I'd mention these 2 things.

[@Greenkai3000]

Thank you for this video! As a massive fan of the Hunger Games I often wondered what a map of Panem would look like. I guess the one you mention on here is officially canon? I’m in TX .

I always interpreted behaviours like Enobaria killing another tribute with her teeth and Titus resorting to cannibalism in the arena as extreme acts of survival rather than evil, proving how dehumanising the games truly were for the tributes. But while Enobaria’s extreme methods were acclaimed by the Capitol citizens and the game makers because of shock value, Titus’ reminded them of a time when, starved and nearing death, capitol citizens themselves had resorted to cannibalism in order not to perish to hunger. It’s just an interpretation, but it really puts Titus’ character into perspective…

[@strangerdanger9395]

Tbh it feels very clear in the books that the act was pure desperation, and the capital forced that moment on her to the point of fully breaking her. Katniss was told that cinna saved her from plastic surgery after she was taken from the arena. Enobaria just wasn’t as fortunate. Like finnik, she was brutalized. Unlike finnick, it seems she lacked a lifeline, or sense of hope, or community.

@@thegirlwitheeyes1232 That doesn't change the trilogy plot though. Snow has no real reason to give them preferential or any different treatment when he becomes President. He had a connection with Lucy Gray, and I doubt he cared that much about District 12's citizens before or after she disappeared until Katniss came along who reminded him of Lucy Gray. He disliked Katniss because she had the same traits as Lucy Gray since, from a president standpoint, what she was doing would cause another war between the capitol and the districts. His main concern throughout the trilogy is that Katniss would disrupt the system and cause another rebellion.

[@benlowe1701]

Finnick has the saddest fate for me. Not only does he not survive, his romance back in 4 is in stark contrast to his public persona, which - just like Peeta's and Katniss' is an illusion he put on to survive. His false personality is that of an incurable flirt with many many sexual partners. Even Katniss believes this at first. In reality, this was entirely at the behest of Snow. Finnick's' "Victory Tours" involved being forced into sexual relationships with dozens of Capital residents who paid Snow handsomely for the pleasure, which happened multiple times every time he visited the capital. Although Finnick was able to use this to obtain blackmail material and secret information that was of use to the Rebellion, it was a horrible affair that started when he was still 14 in his state as *the youngest victor ever*. The most fucked up thing is that when he reads out his Poem to his "One true love", plenty of his *former rapists* genuinely and sincerely think he's talking about them. The creeps.

[@Shapoufiiie]

That's so sad. Men can be r*-worded too. There really needs to be more people to know that anyone can be victims as well as perpetrators. We are all people capable of good and evil. We can be victims and abusers. Being a horrible person is a gender neutral thing because anyone can be one.

[@benlowe1701]

@@Shapoufiiie Youd be surprised how many places rigidly define rape as solely the Penial Penetration of a Vagina. In New York for example, a man or boy couldn't be found to have been raped at all. It's a distinction that has allowed a few absolute monsters to he 'Aquitted' of Rape and "Only" charged the supposedlu lesser crime of sexually assault. They carry the same maximum penalty, but there no shortage of psychos who will spin it as a victory. There was a high profile case recently where the judge cleared a man of the legal charge of rape, whilst acknowledging it wasn't slander to call him a rapist because the term 'Rapist' meant something different to the narrow definition the law had.

[@taiwanisacountry]

@@anonomas6126 textiles is a very long process. Let us take cotton as our example. First cultivation. Then harvesting, then ginning. This is where the seeds and other dirt is removed from the fibres. Now we can begin the processing. Cleaning, yes it needs to be cleaned again, ginning again, then lint cleaning. The cleaning process is extremely important because any dirt or such will be spun with the fibres if they are not removed. Carding, now the cotton will be made into slivers. Then combing, (for high quality yarn). Drawing, this is where we align the fibres uniformly. Roving, now we are making them thinner and longer, and finally spinning. This is where the long thin fibres are being spun into yarn. This is for cotton. This is why we have not used cotton for most of human existence. It is absolutely ridiculous to do so much work for a product that is worse than silk. The reason why we use cotton is because there is a lot of it. Silk is made from silk worms trying to make a puppe for themselves, but we keep taking their fine puppe strings. So this process takes a while, even with a lot of larva.

Katniss is a name for cattails. Calling cattails swamp potatoes would be okay if you could eat every part of the potato plant, it was packed with nutrition and had many other uses. The cattail is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, survival plant. The cattail is not a swamp potato, the potato is a very poor excuse for a cattail. The name is actually significant. Katniss, named for a super survival plant, is a survivor. Some plants and their names carry a great deal of meaning.

Also I think according to the movie guides D6 has the biggest population out of any of the Districts. So you have a large group of people who are all a massive flight risk, sedating them with a highly addictive drug they can’t get anywhere else makes sense as a method to control them. Also I could imagine that D6 has their fair shares of work accidents on the tracks or in factories so that could also be a reason to that they have easy access to Morphling which is first and formost a painkiller.

I have this take on Lamina, I think Lamina represents the false perception of the capital towards districts as savage animals, Lamina's name is Animal Backward but Lamina doesn't go "savage" but the opposite she is kind she mercy kills Marcus, challenging the idea that districts are savage animals that only kills for selfish reasons. and it also goes against Dr. Gaul's take on human nature that "That's humanity undressed. The tributes. And you, too. How quickly civilization disappears. All your fine manners, education, family background, everything you pride yourself on, stripped away in the blink of an eye, revealing everything you actually are." Lamina didn't succumb to that during her games she didn't kill anyone and the only time she fought is to defend her self (THIS IS ALSO THE REASON WHY I DON'T THINK LAMINA PRETENDED TO BE "WEAK" SO PEOPLE DONT TARGET HER SHE DIDNT PRETEND TO BE WEAK LIKE JOHHANA)

[@manuelacalile6419]

for foxface it is seen in the training centre that she has a wide knowledge of plants and berries meaning she knew exactly what the berries she was eating were and kept herself alive long enough in the gaes by eating the safe ones then when she was nearing confrontation with the remaining tributes took her own life so she could die peacfully instead of being killed by the remaining tributes.

​@zuricatalan6160 yeah pretty sure the books specify that the training center didn't cover nightlock, so she wouldn't have known. Also mentioned she had been starving. Also the actress said she was told the character didn't know they were poisoned oop

[@bilfbilfbilf]

Nothing in the movie suggests that Foxface knew about foraging plants. In the training center, she was playing a memorization game, which trained her for when she memorized the path aground the landmines. Foxface dying from poisonous berries goes to show that brains cannot win you the hunger games. The games aren't fair, the game makers won't tell you everything you need to know.

[@xx_gameseditz_xx]

actually this isnt true, in the book katniss said that nightlock came from district 12 only and by remembering something her father had said to her she remebered not to eat them. the training center obviously didnt cover district specific berries and also in the book its revealed that she took a slice of cheese aswell, so it wouldnt make sense to take cheese if she knew she was gonna die anyway

One thing I never understood is why did panem need nuclear weapons? Of course they needed something for inside panem but nuclear weapons is more for an outside threat.

[@SjofnBM1989]

I always theorized that Panem was like a really roided up North Korea. Where a world exists outside (probably Europe/Asia etc) but because the Capitol is SO in control of the media and education that no one inside the country ever knew about the outside world.

[@Pandorasbox830]

Panem was built on the ruins of what is now considered the US/North America. I'm not sure about Canada or Mexico, but I remember being in school and learning about the many nuclear weapons that were left over in the US following the Cold War that were just never done away with. My guess would be that at least part of Panem's supply was from the US's existing stockpile.

It’s not to teach her plants, more so to test her fast thinking and memory. (Which is what helped her at the food pile and reburied mines!) That’s why Peeta remarks in the movies that he didn’t even know she was following him, which insinuates she didn’t know the nightlocke (which was a District 12 only plant) was poisonous and picked them because Peeta did and was most likely starving. 😭

The thing that's always annoyed me about this map is that it makes no sense. We KNOW roughly how many people live in each district, and we know the districs are small - I've always figured most are like cities, not states. Most district residents, especially in poorer districts like 12, walk, and Katniss walks through pretty much all of district 12 in a few hours. It also makes sense that the districts MUST be far away from one another, otherwise people who get away could easily travel to a different district, and we know from Catching Fire that it's dangerous and takes a long time, at least about an hour by hovercraft between 12 and 13, right? THIS is a key point in how the Capitol keeps its control, because there's no communication between districts. This means that the borders of each district are FAR from one another. A map of Panem would be more like isolated cities scattered throughout a map that looks like part of North America.

One note, I refuse to believe fox face saw peeta collecting berries and said hey imma have some too. She was a beast during the trails picking out the berries that were good to eat and not.

[@jaspriest1997]

[@georgia4549]

And to continue on from the above comment in the books Katniss realises after fox face dies that she had been following and eating Katniss and Peeta’s food for a while but only a bite here and there so they didn’t really notice. I don’t think she did it on purpose she was probably really hungry and assumed if he was picking them knowing he was with Katniss then they were alright

[@sveipr]

Also, in the movie when foxface is training, she's doing the plant matching quiz based on the leaves of the plants. She never saw what leaves Peeta gathered the nightlocke from, just the berries. She could've noticed what they were if she saw the plant, but since she was stealing food she didn't know they were poisonous.

[@lavraieAlice]

Yeah it is said by Katniss in the books that the berries are very similar looking to a common edible one. Foxface just didn't check because she assumed that if Peeta intended to eat them, they had to be safe

[@elll2184]

The whole point was supposed to be that her laziness was her downfall - she assumed they were safe because Peeta was about to eat them. Also she never picked out berries that were good to eat, the bit in the training was supposed to show how shes good at pattern recognition. If you watch the clip again all thats shown are simple outlines of leaves and nuts, no mention of their safety. Then she figures out the the layout of the bombs because of her good memory.

I liked the songbirds & snakes book/movie. If they make any other Hunger Games books/movies, I am hoping they go back a little further in time & cover just how “The dark days” began. And cover some other things like, - Why did “the Capitol” move from DC to what is basically Denver? - Where did Florida go? I’m assuming it flooded, but was there perhaps some super weapon used to take it out? - What is the rest of the world doing while all this is going on? I’m assuming they were involved in the war, but are they all gone / or did they all emigrate to “Panem” because their lands were no longer habitable? Last, this is more me being confused but a clear explanation of the post modern history would be nice. From what I’ve gathered, there was a “Great War”, then after that, “Panem” was created with its 13 Districts. Then, after some unknown time, District 13 tried a rebellion (The Dark Days) that failed, and it was after that failed rebellion then the Hunger Games were created? I am not sure that is correct but a book/story about the time prior to The Hunger Games I think would be really interesting. Thanks for this overview content!!

Snow prequel book and the movie, really give me Smallville Lex Luthor vibes, they have basically the same arc, even that in the movie they portray Snow more sympathetic and less manipulative than in the book, but by reading the book, the only person that Snow cares about is Snow, is not a turn from good to bad, he is basically Lex Luthor from Smallville, than turn from shady to outright ruthless and cruel, all in his search for power and control, Snow justified his point of view saying that the world is a jungle, ignoring all the people that suffer similar circumstances and turn all right, is all about him being on top.

there’s actually a theory where foxface actually knew the berries were poisonous and ate them to commit suicide because when the tributes were training, she was seen studying different plants and herbs, so it’s most likely that the nightlock berries were familiar to her

so she took the easy way out cuz she saw everyone else dying and shes like "oh hell naw, i can't win against Cato, Thresh, or Katniss, imma die now"

[@zuricatalan6160]

i like that theory too, but it really only works with the movie. she’s from district 5 so i don’t think she’d know much about foraging/berries even tho she’s smart and sneaky. i genuinely think she was relying on her wits to survive and observed other tributes to keep herself alive. she probably ended up following katniss and therefore peeta bc she realized they were her safest choice to stalk and get food from. it seems like peeta did accidentally kill her by collecting the berries. he was waiting for katniss so they could eat together but fox face was probably hungry enough to just eat them
