[@nix0turel]

the_lovely_artist I agree with you completely... I think that gale was a big part of Katnisses story and that he can be emotionally cold after all that he has been through . Yet I never really liked him I thought that he was kinda playing with Katnisses emotions . And that he was very selfish in mockingJay... Anyway that is just my opinion

[@stilscarlott]

Then I don't think you understand gale properly, he too has been through quite a lot of misery himself. His father was blown apart in the mines, he had to become the breadwinner for his family at a young age. He saw the same aspects in katniss' life and fell for her. Later when Katniss went to the arena, he had to work twice as hard to feed both his as well as the Everdeen family and work in the mines 12 HOURS A DAY! It was his will to help district 12 that kept Katniss from running away in the woods and helped the rebellion. He also saved over 900 people from district 12. Gradually, the war changed him. He was fed up with people who supported the Capitol like district 2 and Peeta. This aspect completely warped him and changed him as a person. He was the most realistic character in the books and if you fail to see that it means that you haven't understood the character or the story apart from the romance.

Both Finnick and Haymitch since they both dealt with tremendous suffering.

[@howardbaxter2514]

Harrison Ogden but she still had Peeta in the end. I think Haymitch’s story is more tragic because he lost more than Katniss. He lost his entire family, all of District 12 (same as Katniss), a lot of his past friends, and all the tributes from District 12 from the 51st to 73rd Hunger Games.

[@lindseysquire8417]

She should have had Gale sacrifice himself for Finnick after seeing how much Finnick means to Katniss and Annie. Remember, Gale lost his father at a young age. I think that it's within his range to sacrifice himself so a child won't lose his father, and a wife won't lose her husband. He also cares for Katniss, and I think that isn't shown enough. (Don't get me wrong, I'm 110% team Peeta, but a lot of Mockingjay makes Gale into a rather terrible person). I think it would have been incredibly moving and sad if Gale had run back, pulled Finnick out, and died in his place. To satisfy Collins' urge to hurt Finnick, perhaps he could have lost something (a leg, like Peeta, perhaps), but he shouldn't have died. Katniss wouldn't have ended up hating Gale, and she wouldn't have blamed him for Prim's death, either. tl;dr: Gale knows first hand what it's like to grow up without a father, and to see a wife without her husband, and I think he would have been content sacrificing himself to prevent that (and because Finnick meant a lot to Katniss).

[@liatassraf6645]

I would’ve pushed gale in and got Finnick up he literally saved EVERYONE and they just leave it makes me so madddddddd I understand they had to leave but STILL

[@emilias8618]

And then prim might not have died! Yes!

[@liliharangozo770]

Yeah, I kind of agree, but we must remember that Gale is not a selfless person. He grew up providing for his family and himself, and I think because of this his survival instinct was very strong, and his main goal was to stay alive by any means. I don't hate him for this, he can't be expected to sacrifice himself for someone he barely knows, since all his life he just wanted to survive the extreme conditions of district 12.

[@joachimreyes1816]

i made a non-public fan movie script that basically switches the places of katniss and peeta in mockingjay (which was pretty hard not to make plotholes with). one of the reasons i made it is to spare finnick and prim. peeta saves finnick in the sewers, while gale is the one who kills himself in the second round explosion to save prim. mockingjay is a good book, but the ending should have been writen better imo

It's disgusting that Finnick was sold off for sex, but he was clever despite the trauma. When he saw Katniss, an innocent girl of similar age to him when he was sold off.

This is actually a very good point. Not often do we see a portrayal of sexually abused men and what that does to them, as people. Finnick was a great example of someone who understood how to care for others, due to having been taken advantage of in this way. I am both sad and glad that I know real men, who display these traits for the same reason. He could see beyond the perceived flaws of those he cared for, because he knew what flawed people really looked like.

The craziest thing was I’m sure he was abused by both men and women in the Capitol, it’s not denied or implied, but most likely Snow wasn’t picky about who he sold Finnick to as long as they paid a “fair” price. Poor Finnick was emasculated and degraded; got a reprieve escaping to 13 where he could finally be with Annie, only for him to be killed in a dark tunnel as his life flashed before his eyes. I would love a book about his games, him navigating the Capitol after winning, and how he fell in love with Annie.

[@MadhumithaJR]

I always imagine that Finnick saw himself in Katniss, and he did not want her abused by the Capitol like he was. Hence he stepped in whenever he could to protect her like a brother and give her a shoulder like a friend. Of course, he did a lot of the things he did for her in the beginning because of her being the Mockingjay, but eventually they built a friendship from similar tragedies and experiences and I feel his self sacrifice to save the squad must have hurt Katniss the most out of all the deaths.

[@PokemonPrince_]

''You don't have to do this.'' ''Yes, I do. If it'll help her.'' This line to me is so powerful. Finnick was forced to be sold for prostitution from the exact moment he was of age, and he literally loves and cares for Annie so deeply that he tells EVERYONE about it. Something like that is super hard to talk about even to someone you trust deeply, so Finnick making a full podcast all about it is so brave, he's easily my favorite character in all of The Hunger Games franchise.

My headcannon is that Finnick had teenage parents who were reaped for the Hunger Games (50th-52nd) and that they were both mentored by Mags and when they both died she took it upon herself to raise Finnick alone which is why the two of them are very close

[@helyannfb]

Why would you do this to me?

[@graves1914]

I just had a realisation, I’m not entirely sure who said it but one of the characters said, ‘the hunger games is sick’ and ‘having to watch your favourite tributes die’. Then I thought back to Finnik and it’s really like we are a citizen of panem watching our favourite tribute die in the ‘76th hunger games’. It makes the story more immersive in a sense.
