The pregnancy announcement is an excellent window into human psychology. These people are perfectly willing to watch children die - but a pregnant woman is considered unacceptable.

[@jordanferguson2254]

Kind of like anti abortion people.

[@thatperformer3879]

I think it has less to do with the fact she’s pregnant and more to do with the fact that these Victors are like Hollywood celebrities in the eyes of the Capitol Citizens. It’d be like Taylor Swift announcing she’s pregnant but is now being forced to do sports or something, all her fans would freak out and immediately attack whoever’s responsible. If Katniss was an ordinary tribute and not a Victor, they wouldn’t care at all about her.

Not just sponsors, but rich people in the Capitol thinking that Finnick was in love with them would increase the chances of the games being canceled (something ALL of the tributes hint (or scream) at) since they wouldn't want their precious toy (he was abused by them, NOTHING more) to die.

One of my favorite moments in the books that couldn't be translated to screen was that when Peeta was all "if I weren't for the baby" in the book, he was so convincing that for a moment Katniss herself was a little convinced that there was a baby, even though she damn well knew that she never slept with Peeta

lmao! my teenage dumb ass had to re-read the previous chapters thinking that I skipped the part where Peeta and Katniss slept together (probably in the train) 😂😅

[@Robin_wtwgb]

Something else I love in the books is how that thought is expanded upon. To the point where Katniss surmises that the fear of losing your child to the games, to the way the world is, is shared by every parent and potential parent. Where Katniss realises a big part of why she doesn’t want children is thanks to the world the capitol has created. I had to sit with that one for a little while.

[@Erika-xm2mi]

Gloss saying that they are "not going by choice" weighs so much more when you remember that both him and Cashmere volunteered for their respective games. Now, they are forced back into the arena and they are obviously not happy to do so anymore.

[@prettynerd4779]

good catch

[@megan.5139]

I feel so awful for gloss and cashmere, they were raised to think going was an honour but they have to live with the consequences. hell cashmere was one of the victors forced into prostitution. i think suzanne villainized them but at the end of the day they were a brother and sister who didn’t want to die or be separated. i wish haymitch and plutarch spoke to them but ig the careers were too risky :/

[@Erika-xm2mi]

@@megan.5139 I wish they would have been included in the plan of overthrowing the Games too. The comment they made and how Haymitch remarked that they were also some of the tributes that wanted to stop the Games make me believe that they might have not turned them down, Cashmere and Gloss were really not happy to be there. I understand not wanting to include Brutus and Enobaria since they actually seemed eager to participate again but District 1? Not at all.

[@bijuutamer729]

There definitely is missed potential in not expanding on Children who were brainwashed on the glory of the Hunger Games and actually surviving said game to realize it’s hell. Like how Cato was entering the game to how he ended up before his death.

[@Erika-xm2mi]

@@bijuutamer729 That's great food for thought, I haven't really taken that into account. Then add the fact that those who were brainwashed on the glory of the Hunger Games and realized they were hell, not only did they survive them, but they had to go on as mentors to other children who believed it's an honor to volunteer as tribute, confident that they'd survive the Games just like they themselves once used to believe. And then they watched many of those children die a brutal death.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Caesar. On one hand, he’s a Capitol guy. On the other, he actually does his best to help the tributes gain sponsors

[@c.w.simpsonproductions1230]

I love how terrified Caesar looks during these scenes. Like how you can see the smile vanish from Caesar’s face the second he realizes what’s happening with Katniss’ dress, like actually choking in the middle of his sentence. And not only can he not say the word “Mockingjay”, but then explicitly goes out of his way to single out Cinna. Almost like he’s pleading to Snow “This was all Cinna’s fault, look at Cinna, I had nothing to do with this.” And then at the very end when he can’t even speak at the absolute fiasco unfolding in front of him.

I love the ending of this scene in the books- _““Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar,” says Peeta bitterly, “if it weren't for the baby.”_ _There. He's done it again. Dropped a bomb that wipes out the efforts of every tribute who came before him. Well, maybe not. Maybe this year he has only lit the fuse on a bomb that the victors themselves have been building. Hoping someone would be able to detonate it. Perhaps thinking it would be me in my bridal gown. Not knowing how much I rely on Cinna's talents, whereas Peeta needs nothing more than his wits._ _As the bomb explodes, it sends accusations of injustice and barbarism and cruelty flying out in every direction. Even the most Capitol-loving, Games-hungry, bloodthirsty person out there can't ignore, at least for a moment, how horrific the whole thing is._ _I am pregnant._ _The audience can't absorb the news right away. It has to strike them and sink in and be confirmed by other voices before they begin to sound like a herd of wounded animals, moaning, shrieking, calling for help. And me? I know my face is projected in a tight close-up on the screen, but I don't make any effort to hide it. Because for a moment, even I am working through what Peeta has said. Isn't it the thing I dreaded most about the wedding, about the future-the loss of my children to the Games? And it could be true now, couldn't it? If I hadn't spent my life building up layers of defenses until I recoil at even the suggestion of marriage or a family?_ _Caesar can't rein in the crowd again, not even when the buzzer sounds. Peeta nods his good-bye and comes back to his seat without any more conversation. I can see Caesar's lips moving, but the place is in total chaos and I can't hear a word. Only the blast of the anthem, cranked up so loud I can feel it vibrating through my bones, lets us know where we stand in the program. I automatically rise and, as I do, I sense Peeta reaching out for me. Tears run down his face as I take his hand. How real are the tears? Is this an acknowledgment that he has been stalked by the same fears that I have? That every victor has? Every parent in every district in Panem?_ _I look back to the crowd, but the faces of Rue's mother and father swim before my eyes. Their sorrow. Their loss. I turn spontaneously to Chaff and offer my hand. I feel my fingers close around the stump that now completes his arm and hold fast._ _And then it happens. Up and down the row, the victors begin to join hands. Some right away, like the morphlings, or Wiress and Beetee. Others unsure but caught up in the demands of those around them, like Brutus and Enobaria. By the time the anthem plays its final strains, all twenty-four of us stand in one unbroken line in what must be the first public show of unity among the districts since the Dark Days. You can see the realization of this as the screens begin to pop into blackness. It's too late, though. In the confusion they didn't cut us off in time. Everyone has seen.”_

Caesar is such an interesting and complex character. He tries to help the Tributes relax during their interviews but also tries to make them memorable, desirable to the Sponsors, but he has to walk such a fine line in order to stay alive himself as his very job keeps him under Snow's watch. He can't show where his loyalties actually lie, and the only thing that is a possible hint to his loyalties is the fact that he survives the series, which hints at the very least he was NOT loyal to Snow. I see him more as a neutral party who is neutral because he HAS to be just to survive. So he plays both sides the way he's expected to, never leaning too far to one side. The author also stated he was not directly affiliated with Snow and thus explains his survival.

[@tesscrelli783]

Yes I especially loved his first interview with Katniss, you can tell she has no idea what she's doing and is panicking out of her mind. But he twists the errors she makes into jokes, he starts a line of questioning that makes her sound noble, brave, and sympathetic for volunteering for tribute. She enters the stage with nothing more than "girl on fire" to her name, and leaves with a more heroic character in the eyes of the audience. I was so happy he survived the series.

In the books, he was described to be much more sincere if I'm not mistaken. He is doing his job pretty well but at the same time, based on Katniss' POV, he seems to not only help her relax as you mentioned, he also was genuinely empathetic.

Also for those that haven't read the books. Johanna hid her true skill level to the point got a low training score so no one would target her and think she's weak during her games...and when it was down to a certain number left. She revealed her true skills with an axe to kill whom was left to claim victory. Beetee won his games by using his intelligence and built an electrical traps to kill the rest of the competitors to win. Finnick was so popular because of his good looks to the point that he got the most expensive gifts such as a trident (he may have gotten armor too. I am not sure. I am just trying to remember but that could be very wrong....becoming the youngest to win at. Of course we find out late on what happens to good looking victors...makes it worse because of his age.... Annie won her games by being the only one left that could swim due to being from the fishing district. As they flooded the arena. However she saw the male counterpart from district 4 get beheaded...it severely traumatized her. That and being in the games in general to the point she comes off as crazy to the others for example. But it's due to post traumatic stress disorder and maybe more. This made her unsuitable to be in a public relationship with Finnick...(also she was a brunette in the books not a red head. Plus despite being from the career district it appears she wasn't like any of the others in wanting to kill or volunteer because they were trained.)

[@ropowo]

Katniss learnt to trust Peeta’s communication with the media. After his first interview before the 74th games, Katniss is fuming that Peeta said he was in love with her, believing it made her look weak, but after being told by Haymitch that it made her look desirable, she realises the value in being liked by the audience and sponsors. Here, also, they are aware of the need to stop the games, and all the tributes probably believe that the baby is fake, but aren’t going to contradict Peeta’s statement as they all know it is a power move to try and stop the games. Having said that, it ought to still help with sponsorship. TLDR: Katniss learnt to trust Peeta and believes this baby lie could help stop the games lol

Honestly, this is one of my favourite scenes. Katniss did have her moments as the symbol of the rebelion, but most of the time she was honestly doing nothing but following orders. Peeta, on the other hand, was always a master of words. In his first interview he basically created a storyline for him and Katniss, and in the second he managed to achieve what the others tried but failed. He knows what to say and when to say it, and truthfully I believe he would be a far better option as the symbol of the rebellion. Almost all of Katniss successes in the Games was in part due to him, and he was capable of influencing the people of the Capitol with just his words. He was by far the best for the job, and it always seemed a little odd to me why they ended up picking Katniss. If memory serves right, I even that think Coin said at one point that they should've had rescued Petta instead.

In the book it was described that she had no idea that the dress would catch on fire or reveal the "Mockingjay" dress (which is very clearly a magpie) underneath when she twirled either. Cinna had told her that she must twirl, but only at the end of her interview, but didn't tell her why or what would happen. She noticed that the dress seemed bulkier and heavier than would be expected of just the wedding dress, but didn't know why. I think it even mentioned her feeling a tag or pin being pulled and it caught on fire much to her surprise. Frightened and not knowing what to do to avoid being burned, she just kept spinning until the fire was out, though as with other fire-costumes Cinna had made the fire was fake and did not burn her, but unlike those the (outer) dress actually burned away. So on top of finding out she's apparently married and pregnant, she also found herself unexpectedly on fire - that's a good bit of a surprise to anyone!

[@pinkbalm975]

Jeremy: 1. Tell wait for 11 years so you can tell Katniss you love her on national television. 2. When her mother says that Katniss is to young to have a boyfriend get engaged with her. 3. After the wedding was officially canceled, claim you got married in secret. 4. Then say she’s pregnant 5 seconds later.

I personally love Caesar’s character. The fact that his performance as the host was so supposed to be over the top with the fake smile and laugh makes it so entertaining. Also the implied threat of getting killed if he doesn’t keep up appearances is quite interesting to me.

[@SashGirl34]

And he apparently having a complex surgery to keep him from aging. Being he looks the same even during the 50th hunger games. So you wonder how old he is?

You don’t have to have read the books to understand it. She’s absolutely right: you’re supposed to be set for life once you win and then suddenly they’re thrown back in the arena again to die.

[@HyperDragoonHx]

I definitely loved Johanna's interview as she cursed out the corrupt capital for what it is. She's got an amazing spark.

[@crimxe]

One of the most horrifying things is that when the audience was reminded of how most of the victors will die, after they already went through the games, already suffered so much through the traumatizing Hunger Games. And there were no screams, no protests, no cries throughout the audience. It was all laughter and cheers.

[@jason20599]

until the end when they announced Katniss’s pregnancy

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

They were upset, they didn’t isn’t do something unto the end. But you can hear the “ooohs” than indicate sadness.

[@littleshroom3274]

I don't know about anyone else, but this is my favorite scene from all of the movies. How Ceasar goes from "Say goodbye to all from one" to "lets hear it" and laughing, it shows how fake he is and how fake the drama for the games are. How Johanna and Katniss from a bond over the wedding dress. The absolutely AMAZING reveal of the mockingjay dress and how it was the start of the revolution. How the audience didn't care about them killing each other until it was revealed that there was a child involved. How all of the tributes held hands as an act of rebellion almost, and how the program was shut down because of it. The series was never about some stupid love triangle, or some survival thriller, its a real social commentary on how society upholds dated traditions and how tyrannical governments can be right in front of our noses without detection, and how rich people run how the world works. They never saw how horrible the games were, only how entertaining they were. It's a beautifully crafted scene.

[@stefanmakara373]

Right? I hate how people pretend it is about a love triangle, when it isn't even the focus of the story. Katniss wasn't spending her time thinking which one to choose, actively thinking about it took like half a page in Mockingjay. Not to mention that she is always confused/under duress when she kisses Gale, but whenever she kisses Peeta without the cameras, it just feels right. Gale was angry that she after years of friendship wouldn't give him romance, while Peeta who was in love with her cherished her friendship.

[@cvijet22]

It's funny how they want to stop the games due to the baby but the hunger games is about killing children.
