Things In Hunger Games You Only Notice As An Adult

[@polevaultgirl33]

“She’s emotionally unavailable” well if that doesn’t summarize Katniss in 3 words

[@Lucy-op9oq]

She has to be though. She had to be strong for Prim growing up, and take on the roles of father AND mother. She didn't have time or trust to dwell on love. She had to appear strong going into both the games. She had to be strong for the rebellion. We can't expect her to be emotionally invested in everyone and everything.

Jade in the book, Peta and Katniss watch old tapes of past games on the train to Panem and end up watching the one where Hamich won. It was a quarter quell and instead of having 24 tributes they had 48 if I’m correct. And Durring the game he ended up at the very edge of the arena where there is a huge cliff and he threw a rock off the edge and a few moments later it came flying back up. So at the very very end when it was down to him and one other girl he had been stabbed and she threw a axe at him and he ducked and it went over the edge of the cliff and so he stayed down and she was too injured to keep moving and a few moments later the axe came flying back up and hit the girl in the head killing her. The capitol saw that as defiance for using the games to his advantage and they exec his whole family to teach him a lesson

[@daniellemusella1594]

I believe the actual first spark of the revolution was Katniss's mini-funeral for Rue. The minute viewers saw her treat the girl as a person, not an object, everything began to change. Attached to this idea, I also believe the man, who started knocking over things and punching peace-keepers after Katniss gave her salute to the camera, was Rue's father.

[@averytoft9053]

Everyone knows that

[@goldenb2395]

Not in the books it wasn’t, because in catching fire katniss asks seeder (the tribute from 11) if rue and thresh’s families are safe/well, and she responds yes. it’s been a long time since I’ve watched the movies so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt.

[@rihze]

people often look over the fact peeta survived having his leg slashed to the bone for what could have been hours and tried to make katniss stay with him in the cave and let him die rather than let her risk her own life to get his medicine at the feast in the first hunger games movie. not to mention he let himself get tortured even worse to save katniss and the rest of district 13 in mockingjay part 1. he is definitely a hero.

[@nenek75]

I am so sick of hearing about Peeta as weak or submisive. This people did not read the books for sure.

Honestly, I never saw Gale as a jerk. He made some mistakes, but so did everyone else. "Gale killed Prim." No, he helped construct the offensive weapons meant for the ENEMY. Coin was the one who ordered the bombs to be dropped on the Capitol children, he was unaware of the plan. "He left Katniss at the end." Neither of them made the effort to see each other because they were preoccupied with other things. And it was Katniss who left him. "He was insensitive to others." He saved as many people as he could from District 12. He went back to save Prim during the evacuation. He was the first volunteer on the rescue mission. Gale just isn't the type of person to focus on people individually. "He didn't care about Peeta." Brainwashed or not, Gale understood that Peeta was still a major threat to their cause. Of course Katniss and we readers was very empathetic towards Peeta - they were lovers, and we spent the past two books watching their love. Gale may have been harsh towards Peeta, but then again, Gale didn't prioritize saving Peeta like Katniss did. Above all, I think Gale was a good addition to the series. No character was perfect, but that's because Collins intended to show what happens to people in a dystopian society. How people become psychotic, radical, emotional, hardened, apathetic, etc. Gale is pretty misunderstood. Sorry for the long rant.

[@jinsstyle]

Exactly

[@naylasworld2351]

He didn't went back for prim during the evacuation, Katniss did and Gale went prevented the guards from closing the doors until KATNISS came back, gale only cared about himself and to have Katniss therefore he is bad, not evil but bad, another prove of his selfishness is on how he didn't care about killing innocent people, adults and children if it meant winning and it backfired and got prim killed and with her any opportunity he had in ever getting with Katniss

[@neya1240]

I agree to all your points but I still believe he was partly repsonsible for the death of those children. Gale might not have killed Prim, okay I get that. He helped make weapons for 13 . Coin planned the attack on the children. Gale might not know about the attack on the Capitol's children but you're missing one small fact about the bombs/trap. The bombs used in the Capitol's children used first wave of bombs that caused minor injuries. The second wave of bombs blasted after medics came to tend the wounded, doubling the people injured and dead. Gale innovated the trap using human empathy as its bait and that's just straight up evil. Most traps were intended to catch the weak but Gale planned on using empathy as a weapon - the one of the greatest qualities a human could have. And that I think is the most cruel thing a person could do.

[@jinsstyle]

@@neya1240 totally agree with that. Like I said he did bad things too, I am not denying them but people think that he is totally evil which he isn't. He wanted to free the poor people and to do so he totally forgot his own morals. Tbh I think if the same technique of the bombs were used by Capitol on them, gale would have been the one who would have rushed to rescue the injured and which would have lead to he himself getting killed.

[@dartapetrunko1335]

Shaira Sultana I liked him till the moment he kissed Katniss

[@KVeren]

For me the element of the Hunger Games story that is most often missed is how Katniss is frequently a pawn throughout the series. She predominantly reacts to the decisions of those around her rather than driving the bigger picture forward on her own cognizance. It is the manipulations and perceptions of those around her who give her power (evidence: the propaganda war), but she rarely seizes it since her motivations are not politics and power - all she wants is to protect those she cares about. She is not a revolutionary by choice, but by necessity. Ironically, we may fall in to the same propaganda trap that District 13 created - in focusing on the strength and heroism of The Mockingjay, we might forget to notice how that symbol is used to exploit Katniss Everdeen.

I actually will admit I gained a little bit of respect for Snow when he was thinking about the things that Coin did to the capitol. I am in no way justifying what he did and saying it was right, but I think Katniss was forgetting “who the real enemy was”, or in better words “who the worse enemy was”. In the Mocking Jay I found him quite humorous and enjoyed the ways he messed with people’s heads when they blamed him for the bombing. And the coughing blood stuff was perfection.

Well depending on your definition of a child, should you even had read this book? I think it was marketed for a 12(+) audience, and children of that age should understand those themes (and instead of naivety, I would call that oblivious for that age). My definition of a child is 4-10 (after that they are a pre-teen), and in no way would I expect a child of this age to read this book, nor would I encourage it. And anyone older, I would presume that they're either reading it out of interest (in which they would like to understand the concepts presented) or for school (in which they have to understand the concepts presented-or use wiki). Props to you if you're under 10 and read it, but I honestly think you should enjoy your youth instead of watching The Lists videos, not that they don't have informative videos, but you'll regret not doing more in the future. Especially when you get into university, you won't even have time to go out during the weekend, and that is extremely saddening. So enjoy freedom while it lasts

Gale isn’t jerk. If you’d read the books it states that the last time they’d killed a deer it had been ripped apart (people were trying to rip chunks off) when they were taking it to be sold, proving gale was right in the first film, though he could have gone about it a different way. Also, Katniss should have realised what would have happened to her if she’d taken a dead deer through District 12 on the day of the reaping, she would have been punished. Furthermore, in catching fire Gale talks her out of it because their families wouldn’t survive Iin the wild. Prim is too sweet to hunt and Gale’s younger siblings aren’t going to be of much use. It would terrify the younger ones too much, Gale wanted to protect them but within 12. Also, Katniss would have been hinted, as se was the only female victor from 12 and she couldn’t leave Peeta behind either. Finally, in Mockingjay Gale reacts with no sympathy to Peeta because he is viewed as a traitor to the rebels, something most of them thought. But Gale has also proven that he didn’t completely hate Peeta, or lived Katniss enough to volunteer in the mission to rescue Peeta and the victors, showing he isn’t that bad, no matter what you say... btw I’m 13 and I knew all of these things.

[@CeceTori]

Shadow Cooper so do you agere with him that he had to kill lots of innocent people, Prim included, not think about casualties or concequenses, to «win» the war?

[@CeceTori]

*agree

[@ellicooper947]

I guess I agree but Prim should have been kept away. To be honest, the rebels supplied medics to help the people there, so the plan should have been stopped so none of their own died. Prim was selfless and the plan that killed her was despicable. However, Katniss in the books and films agreed that there should be a hunger games with the Capitols children, so Gale isn’t much worse though Prim deserves better...

[@CeceTori]

Shadow Cooper She didn’t actually agree to another Hunger Games, did you pay attention?? She said it to manipulate Coin into thinking she was on her side. The rebels sent out the medics to make them think it was over. They tried to frame Snow’s people for the explosions.

[@CeceTori]

Shadow Cooper Having it seem like Snow killed Prim, a disgusting and smart move from Coin’s side.

[@louisacoote2337]

Peeta is also artistic and creative! One of my favourite male characters in literature.

[@monmothma3358]

Kind of an arrogant video.. Several of these are either obvious to everyone, or wrong. -A good book/movie has three-dimensional characters. I would think less of the THG books if Gale had been a jerk/bad guy/evil, but he's not, he has good and bad sides. His bad sides cost him and his friends a lot, so he's a tragic character, really. -Cinna did *not* spark the revolution. He contributed, but Katniss, unknowingly, was the spark. That was kind of the whole point... -"Finnick is actually nice"???!!! Give me a break. Good point about the PTSD, though. If you want to know what it's like in the head of someone who has depression and PTSD, Mockingjay is your book.

[@kjn-s2336]

Finnick is nice though.

[@imacheckneck]

But, all districts have a fence

[@cookiekcrush4092]

“11, is a direct reference to slavery. If you escape or break rules you are whipped.” let’s say it together now.... “SO ARE ALL THE OTHER DISTRICTS, DID YOU NOT SEE GALE GET WHIPPED?”

[@orangeystudios2070]

The Hunger Games is like Among Us in a way. There’s betrayal, brutal killing, kindness, toxic ness, people being jerks, and both take place somewhere that needs constant fixing.

[@veraschijndel447]

even when i was 12 and first read the book, ive always hated gale. he just left her at the end

[@lauratorres-dh5qm]

Vera Schijndel Katniss had Peeta, that was explicitly clear. Katniss also sent him away as well. Gale staying with her probably would have done more damage than what he actually did

[@kiarabalcorta8103]

"Cinna actually sparked the revolution" Uhm... I think that's the most obvious thing in the whole story...

[@skelitonizer]

Pretty obvious if you read the book

[@christinakarika3091]

My 8 year old sister could notice almost everything in this list since it was directly stated in both the books and movies. Also, Gale watched the people he loved die, it's easy to think it might have made him angry. I think Gale had flaws but he was one of the most realistic characters. He watched a power hungry Capitol draw people to get slaughtered every year for his entire life. It's easy to understand him wanting to make anyone involved or even anyone who didn't seem to care pay.

[@frannyb99]

Now that the prequel is out, President Snow’s “poisonous past” is coming to life more and more

[@blakedaniels702]

U forgot the main one “children in an arena fighting to the death!” 😂

[@johnnyokeeffe6577]

Dumb video. I think everyone should pay attention to the different themes of social engineering and how governments work. It also studies the downfall of why and how Rome fell and how America especially is looking very similar to the Roman Empire right before it’s fall. This movie really asks questions of where we are going as a nation and a people of this earth because if we keep going on with these out dated, unsustainable methods of government, energy, economic, sociopolitical methods then our future will most likely end up like Panem.

[@chloevaughn9755]

That is really creepy to think about that we could actually end up like that

[@celtictarotreadings333]

I think what sparked the revolution was when Rue dies actually, I often wondered what would have happened if she had survived until the end. She and katniss showed unity between two districts and not like one and two but they were both selfless with each other and helping the other with no selfish reason. When rue died and katniss was obviously torn not pleased she was one step closer to home, singing for and dressing her in flowers. She also gave a sign from her district to hers which showed a connection between the two. That sparked it and then with the berries at the end the games was pure defiance to the system.

[@ava7915]

Honestly, as a twelve year old, I’m kinda offended. It’s not only adults that can notice these. I noticed a lot of these too... :/

[@cecex4545]

oi my man Gale doesn't deserve this slander

[@mattiemccarthy9102]

cece x he killed Prim he kinda does

[@cecex4545]

Mattie McCarthy coin killed prim in theory he didn't design the bomb specifically to kill prim !

[@mattiemccarthy9102]

cece x well he knew what the bomb was capable of!! He didn’t care Prim died!! He only cared if Katniss was mad at him! He honestly didn’t care if he killed someone!!

[@cecex4545]

Mattie McCarthy you have to kill people to win a war. after his life i think he just wanted to do whatever it took for justice

[@justowlit9942]

And about Finnick being a nice person! That's pretty obvious...he didn't see Mags as an ally...he went out of his way to save Peeta....and that's just in Catching 🔥....What about his incomparable love to Annie?

[@rowanaforrest9792]

Finnick loved Mags and Annie more than anyone else in the world. Mags was his mentor, his trainer, and in the arena he took care of her like a devoted grandson. My heart aches for him because he knew that, short of a miracle, Mags was doomed to die in that arena, but he protected her as long as he could. It was Mags' decision to sacrifice herself when she knew it was necessary to save Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick. Mags and Finnick knew about the rebel plans and both had pledged to do whatever it took. Mags is another of my favorite characters.

[@jebooiii6462]

Wow, Finnick was actually nice, and the victors have PTSD? I've never thought of that before... That does put the movie in perspective, doesn't it?

[@whosaprettykitty5076]

In Catching Fire, we find out Haymitch, Plutarch, and Finnick were a part of the revolution at the end, but it is also said that half the tributes were as well as Cinna, Effie, and a lot of people who worked with district 12. Katniss started the revolution because of what she did in the first games with Rue and Peeta. She risked her own life to save them. Then, with Snow announcing the Quarter Quell, it was even announced that everyone was angry. Also, the movie doesn't really show until the end that Enobaria, the girl from district 2, was alive and one of the people a part of the revolution. She helped Johanna separate Katniss by cutting the wire. Also, the morphling saved Peeta because they were promised to protect both he and Katniss (though Katniss was the one they needed to start the revolution, but if she had lost Peeta during the arena, getting her to cooperate, as seen in Mockingjay when she is angry about Peeta's capture would have been even more difficult)

[@riona8721]

You don't need to be an adult to notice the PTSD it's basically a all of Annies character

[@Testaccount-zw7dw]

Saying that Gale is a Jerk is subjective really, it depends on how you look at it Also I would like to say that in my experience much more children/teenagers have read the book then adults (Yes this is just in my experience so If its different for someone else, okay)

[@danoott_]

When you have read the books you already know all of this.

[@kattstilinski9130]

Same lol

[@ltsfreerealestate]

Half of the time they say "this wasn't covered in the movies" it literally was? Finnick addresses and explains to the entire country that he was forced into prostitution and snow poisoned his competition??

[@charlottebrinkley2006]

i didn’t need to be an adult to realise that finnick is one of the sweetest characters is the movies 🥺🥺🥺

[@rowanaforrest9792]

You made one flub 1.5 minutes in. Peeta is indeed kind, which includes being deferential when appropriate, but he is NOT submissive (neither is Katniss). He simply doesn't have a huge ego and puts Katniss' needs above his own because he loves her. You left out one very important quality: Peeta is a very, very strong young man both physically and psychologically.

[@ellwest-derpack5173]

'Gale is a Jerk." FINALLY!!

the flashbacks tho

[@jadecastro5571]

Another one that wasn’t listed is that Seneca knew how to put on a good show, but snow would never be satisfied by anyone.

[@dallasearl5298]

Gale's a jerk... by saving dozens from the bombing of district 12, by being the first person to volunteer for rescuing the joanna, peta, and anne, etc

[@ellafletcher1040]

I noticed ALL of these and I’m not even close to an adult

[@bonbon2225]

Actually the first spark of rebellion is in the first movie when Peeta and Katniss are the last 2 tributes left and she refuses to kill Peeta, they act in defiance by deciding to kill themselves together rather than killing each other. Seneca Crane surrendered to them and declared them both winners before either one of them died. This is in direct defiance of the capitol as for the past 73 years there has always been one winner, and she managed to manipulate the capitol into going against that rule, humiliating them I front of the whole country. From this point on, there is trouble. After this President Snow visits her to let her know the possible consequences for her actions and threatens to kill everyone she loves. So yea, Cinna didn't spark anything, it was Katniss.

[@elliesak]

Actually, the first spark in the revolution was when Rue died. Katniss laid flowers around the girl so that the Capitol would see. She knew that the Capitol would have to film Rue getting lifted into the air, it was customary. And when Katniss did the three fingered sign to the camera, it caused a ripple that made District 11 realize how unfair they were being treated. They already knew that they were being treated horribly, but the fact that they made an 12 year old get murdered... It was a cause to break a dam.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Maybe it's because I read said book, but the movies seem so... Liveless and one-dimensional in comparison. I had the same feeling watching game of thrones.

[@mohannadabdulaal5625]

I'm currently 12 and was also 12 when I read and watched the entire series. And everything in this video I have noticed, hell, some of the things you mentioned were written in the books! We aren't stupid, you know. We can notice stuff aswell as adults. You don't have to be an adult to be able to notice stuff!

[@DVDTAPEAFKs]

If Prim wasn't chosen to be in the hunger games Panem would still be corrupted, and Snow would still be in power. The first movie was Katniss taking her sister's spot to keep her safe from the games and try her best to survive not just for herself but for sweet little Rue 🥺 The last 3 movies are the start of the Revolution. it's not just about Prim's safety anymore.

[@brittanyreyn7126]

Gale being a jerk? Wtf? And he felt peta sold out or gave up. Many people would understand and many would feel the same as gale. That's a quite shallow and ignorant observation.

[@mattiemccarthy9102]

Brittany Reyn he killed Prim and killed hundreds of other CHILDREN!! If that is not a mean person I don’t know what is!! He only felt remorse for what he did because he liked Katniss! He didn’t care about Prim!! If Katniss wasn’t mad about Prim dying he wouldn’t have cared and would have casted her life away like he did to countless others!!
