I liked the fact that Coin wanted (as a totally corrupted president) to have new Hunger Games with the Capitol’s children, because it show that the history is often repeating itself and that, the rebels of the past are the ones deciding in the futur and when they’ve won, they can be as cruel as the previous leaders (even on innocent people)

Yes. Military revolutionists often make for unusually cruel leaders.

capitol citizens are not innocent people tho

[@dylanfry7978]

If I was in charge I probably would have done the same thing. Would’ve held a Hunger Games for the Capital. But made it clear it was a one-off. As just to show the Capital what it was like to endure that for decades… And just to show them ONCE what it was like. So have 1 Hunger Games specifically for only Capital citizens. Then abolish it.

[@TiyaBabiiee]

@@dylanfry7978 I agree and can see why they wanted to do it. However, it would’ve made it more difficult for a “peaceful” panem. It would’ve make the citizens of the capitol angry (even though in some ways, I could say it’s deserved). But you know like they say, you can’t fight fire with fire 🤷🏾‍♀️. Having another games wouldn’t have been the all end, and probably would’ve opened up another trail of problems.

Katniss made the decision to kill Coin when she realized that she was the one who dropped the bombs. One of her biggest turnoffs from Gale toward the end of Mockingjay was his ability to kill without empathy. Gale was also the one who designed the bombing trap at the Capital gates with Beetee, the same ones who killed Prim.

[@claudespeed277]

But she killed without empathy tho, kinda a double standard don't u think. U can say she was forced too, which she kinda was but didn't mean she needed to be as brutal as she was. Peeta was the rational one, he'd rather hide than take the lives of others basically playing pacifist.

[@dionysuskapeleia]

​@@claudespeed277Of course it is a double standard,but anyone in her place wouldn't have been able to keep contact with the person whose actions cost their sister's life.

[@jackcooke7489]

@@claudespeed277 I don't think she ever killed without empathy. In the Mockingjay book she constantly references how many people have died due to her actions and how awful it makes her feel. She also has constant nightmares involving those that have died either at her hands or because of something she has done. She very rarely kills unless it is a necessity. Anyone in her situation would have to kill and she always tries to make their death as fast and painless as possible. Even when she kills Coin she shoots her through the heart. Gale happily killed people even when it didn't need to be done. Like in District 2 when he wanted to trap the workers in the mountain with no regard for the fact he was killing innocent people. And when he made the plan to kill the Capitol's children at the very end; he even showed very little remorse over the fact that Prim was in amongst them.

A lot of you miss the subtle hints at Coin from the moment we meet her. She uses Katniss. Even Boggs tells her that Coin never wanted her, but Peeta, because he would be easier to control. Plutarch advocated for Katniss because he knows that she will spot the corruption on her own and he's counting on her to make the right decision. Katniss ends up killing Coin because she had time to observe her tactics and realized she's just as evil as Snow. You could argue she is even worse than Snow, because she's hiding behind a mask of righteousness, while Snow was always very straightforward about what he was doing and why. Katniss figuring out that Coin had bombed a pen full of children and then hearing her suggestion about holding a symbolic hunger games just reinforced her decision and provided the means for her to get close enough to assassinate Coin and break the cycle.

Ultimately when the decision came to using the capital in the hunger games she vocally sided for it to appear that she blamed the capital for Prim's death and to be amenable to their side.

The district was already poor though. At the beginning of the book when he gets assigned Lucy Gray, his first thought is "The lowest of the distracts for a Snow! How disgraceful!" It had always been an afterthought. And when 12 is described in the book, the state of things were basically the same as they were in the 74th Hunger Games, because they simply never recovered. And it's not that Corio refused to aid 12, because it's also stated that it's only the industries that are funded and supported, not the districts themselves.

[@remixgameyt1172]

I read the book, it stated something like "the continent was once called North America, but at some point, major consecutive natural disasters occurred, followed by a major flooding, ruining the most developed and rich coastal areas, which was followed by many wars for the remaining land and resources, and in the end, Panem emerged, consisting of The Capitol and 13 districts" dictatorship was basically victorious over whatever else emerged, so naturally people thought it was better.

And the movies were toned down considerably from the books; there was a lot less actual hunger in the movies. In the books, the Games would often stretch out for weeks, with little or no food available to the tributes. In the Districts and particularly 12, death from starvation was a real possibility, and that wasn't shown in the films...for obvious reasons.

[@MrRobarino]

A book can be as long and detailed as the author wants it to be but a typical movie is around two hours and 20 minutes - a running time that, plotwise, allows for a limited amount of content. Regardless of the length, filmmakers should never feel shackled to strictly follow a book, the film must be different from the source material. That’s partially just a matter of simple narrative physics. The books span multiple pages describing the life in district 12, whereas the movie simply has to show it in a few short scenes. Anyone who watched the movies immediately grasp onto the fact that hunger and death from starvation was a real possibility.

[@onikin]

@@MrRobarino eh, for having a title "Hunger Games" and removing hunger and starvation near entirely from the movie, is not really excusable. It is not hard to do a time skip in a movie. They simply chose not to.

I also disliked that they made the chariot fires so tame. The biggest disappointment was them cutting out the epic Duel of the Fates between Cato and Thresh. The biggest sin, however was the unneccessary changes to Cato and the mutts. Cato seemed like a regular guy in this movie. He was supposed to be like an unstoppable juggernaught that absolutely everybody feared. And those mutts? Ugh. They were just so wrong. So innacurate. Cato also died too quickly. His brutal death was disgusting and horrific, and showed just how sadistic the Capital is. It also showed how selfless and heroic Katniss and Peeta were. Peeta, in particular put his own life on the line when he gave her that arrow. I don't mind the other changes, since like you said, the audience is smart enough to figure it out.

I noticed something. So, back then in the American Revolution, there was 13 colonies. In the Hunger Games there are 13 districts. Tell me if I'm wrong, but the British had got New York. In the Hunger Games District 13 was destroyed. Also, Snow was surrounded (spoiler) during the execution, just like how Cornwallis was surronded before being forced to surrender. I think Suzanne Collins was trying to repeat history in this story. It shows how history can repeat itself. Also, Katniss Everdeen became a symbol of hope and a great leader, George Washington was a great leader for the revolution. Plutarch and Haymitch could represent the Continental Congress, because the Continental Congress wrote the Declaration. Meanwhile, in the Hunger Games they had made promos. Its very interesting, I feel like the revolution piece of The Hunger Games was based off the American revolution. Edit: Thanks so much for the kind comments!

[@ajhare2]

My theory is the Capitol was formed from a fortress of some type that was built in the rockies to protect people from the disasters, and only the rich could afford to buy a spot. This could've been a way for the rich to guarantee their survival. This could be why people from the Capitol speak in a different accent from the rest of Panem, which could be because many rich people from around the world bought a spot in the fortress. This explains their overall extreme and lavish lifestyle.

When Katniss kills Coin, it's not only because of her suggestion that they have a hunger games with the children of the Capital (though that may have been the breaking point), it was also in part to her realizing that Coin was responsible for an attack on medical workers after the assault on the Capital.

This might actually be literally the worst way to run a country. Why would you centralise production sectors like this? What happens if an ore vein is discovered in the lumber district? Do they just go "oh we can't do anything with that, it's not allowed. Also not producing things locally would cost them an absolute fortune in transportation. How is the country not bankrupt? Not to mention if a natural disaster knocks a key sector out, or even just a region of food production has a bad season... And how did the first rebellion not absolutely obliterate the ruling regime? All 13 districts rebelled and literally all they had to do was to hold one key district for a few months, e.g. the power district, and the capital would collapse into anarchy. The distribution of districts doesn't even make sense, like why is there anything but farmland in the central plains? Why do the power and fishing districts need so much land? Why aren't the mining districts long, thin strips of land that follow mountain ranges and fault lines? "Guys I have a great idea... we don't produce anything ourselves right? and so the districts basically have a gun to our heads in terms of food and resources right? Ok so I'm thinking we should oppress the hell out of them." - some jackass in power I feel like when the world ended there must have been a survival shelter where they stashed all the incompetent people and their descendants were the only ones to survive because both sides of this conflict are indisputably terrible at everything.

We also need to see katniss’s family tree, and how Katniss eventually came to be the way she is. We also need to see Katniss’s children! Omg there is so much more we need to see and know!

[@umerwaqar1046]

Dare I say we also need to know about what happened to Gale? Where is he? Does he get in touch with Katniss again? Does he feel guilty?. Okay I’ll leave now.

The lore to this universe is actually really cool. The movies were kind of tacky at times but they’re still so good

[@corvus2512]

The districts actually dont make any sense. Why would one district be used for only one resource? Natural resources are not clustered in their own areas. If there is silver or gold in the lumber district do they just ignore it? Also what happens if something happens to the food producing areas... everybody in the country would starve. Just seems really inefficient and illogical. Spreading out production creates failsafes if one center goes down. If the point is to separate the districts so the people dont feel connected to each other and they stay divided then surely dividing them along cultural, religious and racial lines makes more sense.

[@HtheKing]

i honestly agree, really find the lore more interesting than anything else

[@justinlorence8151]

@@corvus2512 Read the books. The districts resemble mining towns more than giant states. They were built where the resources were and those resources are simply the main export of each district. If you notice, they get food from four different districts, not just one. They have multiple factory districts that produce different goods for them. They also all have relatively small populations compared to the capitol. Panem resembles a giant city, spread out across a large area. Even in modern society we break up local zoning like this having a "Mining district" "Factory district", and so on."

I had a dream that I lived in the Hunger Games universe during the rebellion and that we discovered that there actually were countries outside of Panem and that some other countries also had Hunger Games. Snow and Coin knew about them but kept everyone in the dark about it. The other countries were then inspired by Panem's rebellion and got rid of their Hunger Games

It's interesting to me that certain districts and certain sections of districts have certain features. I noticed that in the movie too, which they didn't really highlight so much in the film, that the districts seemed segregated by skin color. District 12 reminded me of the concentration camps during the holocaust. Also, how the wealthier sections were blonde hair and blue eyes. President Snow reminds me of Hitler. Maybe Suzanne used him for inspiration to create Snow.
