What was the 3rd Quarter Quell going to be originally?

Hi friends! Today we dive into Catching Fire, and take a look at the third Quarter Quell!
Each Quarter Quell is marked by a special twist, that was supposedly decided on when the Hunger Games were created. However, we learn in the Catching Fire movie that the 3rd Quarter Quell that we see wasn't the original planned idea; it's an idea created by president Snow and Plutarch Heavensbee. So what was the original idea?

Hi friends! A quick reminder not to post spoilers for "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes". The book isn't out in many countries yet, and won't be for another few weeks, so it's incredibly inconsiderate. Also, many of you have been asking when I'll make videos about it. I won't be making videos about it until the movie adaptation is released, as this firstly gives everyone time to buy and read the book, and secondly will allow us to use the secondary canon that is a movie to base ideas off of. Thank you and happy bubbles!

[@TheMostNotFunny]

These Quarter Quell was Written when the game were being created and we know the games were added to over time so the NO Sponsors would not work because they were created before the 10th hunger games. so, the Quarter Quells of the Past have to do something with the reaping, so it could be Tribute or Adult or Only male, could be reaped. How they could be linked to the War Adults - Adults Started and Fought in the War against the Capital, so for the 75th Anniversary Only Adult can be Reaped for the 75th Annual Hunger Games. Only Male- Men Fought in the War and Stood Against the Capital, So of the 75th Anniversary, Only Males Can be Reaped for the 75th Annual Hunger Games

[@smallpoliterat7753]

I think that for the 3rd Quarter Quell, the tributes could have been launched at the edge of the arena, so they have to run kilometers to get to the cornucopia for weapons and supplies. This would be a reminder that it is very difficult to get what you want, in this case showing that the rebels were very far from winning the war with the capitol 75 years ago.

In the books, in the backpack that Katniss picks up at the bloodbath in her first games, there is a pair of sunglasses that allowed her to see perfectly in the dark.

One possibility is this: "to remind the districts that their rebellion has robbed their children of having a future, only 12 year olds shall be reaped" (to symbolize how these kids would die before they had even lived) or "only 18 year olds (or even 19 year olds!) shall be reaped" (to symbolize that just when you think you're safe and ready to live without the fear of being reaped, the Capitol can change things in an instant) Another idea: "to remind the districts that the rebels put their families at risk and were unable to protect them from the might of the Capitol, volunteering will be prohibited". Basically, whoever gets reaped, stays reaped, and nobody can volunteer for them. This would definitely change things in the Career districts, where volunteering is everything to them. It might even out the field a bit.

[@StoryDiver]

Those are good ideas!

[@wakkiftw9754]

[@littlearies3862]

@@tsuyuasui7297 Probably because the career districts couldn't have the stronger and older kids volunteer like they usually do. If they couldnt volunteer, it could be a 12 year old who got reaped.

There was an interview with Suzanne Collins and she hinted that in the third quarter quell the tributes will be brother and sister

[@mariaisabelcervantes1139]

I know it's a bit late, but if you think about it, maybe Snow would have used it against Katniss, like "As a reminder that Capitol children and teens of all ages died in the Dark Days, the children that will be reaped must be from 5 to 19 years old". Now, in the books, Gale's little sister, Posy, is 5, so Snow, with his power, can pre-determine the District 12's tributes to be Gale and Posy, so that Katniss understands that maybe they wouldn't have been reaped if it wasn't because of her, Gale pays for all his illegal crimes, and Plutarch wouldn't have been capable of saving all those victors. Plus, the District 12's new mentors would have been Katniss and Peeta, so Katniss would have her district 12's first mentee to be Posy, to have Peeta's first mentee to be the first man she fell in love with, and in addition, to have their new avox to be Darius. So, yeah, maybe it would have been a good idea, but if this happened, Mockingjay couldn't be possible. So I prefer it to be the one that happened in Carching Fire.

[@HunterLodgeStables]

EllieYuki I agree with you. The capital would totally enjoy watching that.

[@Emerora]

I have a few: • 'As a reminder to the districts that war turns even the most beautiful things ugly, the citizen's of the capitol will vote in the tributes based upon who they deem as the most visually appealing' - I think that would be super interesting when it comes to sponsors, because in past games usually it's the best looking tributes who do the best (think Finnick, Cashmere, Cato, Enobaria) • 'To remind the districts that even the power of love cannot overcome the power of the capitol, the 2 tributes will be reaped from already existing teenage couples known throughout the each district' - so there would only be young lovers competing against each other which I think would be super interesting as they would all be allies • 'To remind the districts that war is ever-changing and unpredictable, each day in the arena the tributes will experience a new environment, bringing changes in both terrain and mutations' - so each day there's a new arena • 'To remind the districts that the capitol always holds the power, the wealthiest citizen's of the capitol will be able to decide the fate of any tribute they wish' - so if they are rich enough they can pay to kill one of the tributes and get to choose how, with choice in mutt etc or even by hand if they pay enough I dunno something like that Omg I was writing this for so long I've missed my karate lesson I didn't even realize the time ahahaha

**EDIT** TO THE COMMENTS SAYING I STOLE THESE IDEAS FROM A CAPITOLIO VIDEO: Look at the dates of his video and my comment here. Five months ago happened long before three weeks ago. Capitolio took my ideas without giving me credit and got a video with over 100k views. I didn't care for a while, because it ain't that serious. But when people ask you to give credit to the person who stole your ideas and cashed in on it, you can maybe understand why that's a lil' annoying. I have some ideas: only female tributes- since women decided to fight in the rebellion alongside men, they will suffer the consequences of the war just as the men do. only male tributes- to reinforce the idea that men should be strong and tough, but demonstrate that no man is stronger than the capitol. only 12 year old tributes- because the youngest children are the most vulnerable in times of times of civil unrest and the choice to rebel is the choice to put your children’s lives at risk. capitol selected tributes- to remind the districts that their rebellion caused the surveillance state of panem, citizens caught on camera or recorded assisting in rebel plots will have their children hand selected as tributes. sibling tributes- to show that to fight against the capitol is to fight against your own family, the male and female tributes from each district will be siblings. families die with tributes- to remind the districts that whole families died fighting in the rebellion, whenever a tribute dies in the arena, their entire family bloodline is executed back home. tribute chosen by reaped tribute- to remind the districts that to choose to go to war is to also send your neighbors to war with you, the male and female selected in the reaping will chose the male and female tributes to take their place in the games. EDIT (I thought of three more) no contact arena - as a reminder that food is a privilege gifted by the capitol, the tributes will be completely restrained and given no food or water until all succumb to dehydration and/or starvation except one. high iq tributes - as a warning that generations of the best and brightest could be wiped out in the event of a rebellion, the tributes will be reaped from the districts schools’ top %1 highest academically achieving students. low income tributes - as a warning that rebellion would only result in poverty and famine by consequence of the capitol, the tributes will be reaped from the lowest income house holds, families in poverty, and homeless families.

[@StoryDiver]

Oh wow, those are some great ideas! And I really like how they all relate back to the war so well!

Wow, these ideas are good

[@charligrace1665]

If the families were to die with the tributes what if the tribute was a son or daughter of a victor

[@eastalexandra]

As a reminder to the districts that the longer they fought, the more their people died, the games will go on for 5 weeks, with every week bringing 24 new tributes into the arena. I love this idea cause I’m just imagining like ten people lining at the end of woods waiting for the pedestals to come up and for the timer to go off so that they could kill the new tributes coming in and take their suplies. Also I would imagine that so the old tributes couldn’t take all the supplies before the new tributes came up, the land mines would circle all around the pedestals they’d also have to wait until the timer went off. As a reminder to the districts that they destroyed each other in their attempt to destroy the capitol, there will be six tributes reaped from each district. These tributes will fight with the three districts in their multiple of four. When only six remain in each of the three games, they will fight each other in a new arena until a lone victor remains. I.e. districts 1-4 together, 5-8 together, then 9-12. The one with 1-4 would be nuts with all the careers and then the smartest district of Panem as well.

[@StoryDiver]

That's a good idea!

[@tpwds7900]

I think that the first idea would’ve been better for the fourth quarter quell, 100th hunger games. the last week bringing four of the previous victors in as a surprise and to round off the number to a hundred. I image that they would’ve had all the victors names in a bowl, and pulled out four randomly, despite gender or otherwise, and thrown them in in the fifth and final week. The ppl waiting to kill all the new tributes for supplies would be shocked to see victors they recognised and even idolised in the arena with them. It would be a reminder that even those who fought the longest would soon be killed at the hands of the Capitol.

[@eastalexandra]

TPWDS or instead of victors, when there were four people left they would bring in four more people that are the opposite gender as them but from the same district. That would make it 100 tributes but each of the final four had a new district partner that they had to think about

[@joshuabaill]

And then it keeps going on until there’s only 1 left

[@kamikik8840]

[@totallyquackers4158]

I have a few ideas! Hopefully, they all relate to the war in some way! "As a reminder to the rebels that it was ultimately the parents of the children sent into the war that suffered, the male and female tributes are to be reaped amongst the parents of each district." - Only parents of children who are eligible for reaping are to be reaped. "As a reminder to the rebels that it was the forefathers of the rebellion that initiated violence, each of the districts is to offer up two male tributes to compete." - Only male tributes. "As a reminder to the rebels that even the youngest of rebel children were not sheltered from the war, the male and female tributes reaped are to be twelve years of age." - Only tributes who are twelve years of age. "As a reminder to the rebels that through their choice of initiating violence, mothers orphaned their children, each district must offer two female tributes to compete." - Only female tributes. "As a reminder to the rebels that the war tore loving families apart, the tributes selected are to be brother and sister." - Much like Cashmere and Gloss, one name would be drawn (male or female) and whoever their brother/sister is would be their fellow tribute. "As a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest of them were forced to send their children into war, the male and female tributes are to be children of current victors." - Essentially any child of any victor, regardless if the victor is dead or alive. "As to remind the rebels of the Capitol’s generosity and forgiveness, only one tribute is to represent its district." - This would basically just have one big reaping ball with all the names combined, regardless of age or sex, and one name would be drawn.

Another option would be: Force a victor to choose the children of his/her district....when a female and male victor are available the female must choose a girl, the male a boy. Making sure that they do not choose an already ill child the victor will share the fate of the tribute if the tribute does not belong to the last eight.

I have a couple of ideas myself. However the quarter quell seems to always have a twist on the reaping. Like the first one with the voting and the second one with double the amount of tributes. Even in the (new) third QQ the tributes where reaped out of the remaining Victor's from previous games.. So again the reaping gives a spin to the games. 1. However I always think about a QQ where the tributes won't have weapons to get to during the cornucopia. Just food. Because during war not everyone is blessed with having weapons. The capitol wants the districts to be reminded of it. This would also even out the chances of the careers and the others a bit more. 2. A QQ where the tributes are reaped of brothers and sisters only in each district so the papers would have combinations of 1 sister and 1 brother on them. During war entire families are the victim. To remind the districts of all the families lost during war these games would represent it. The capitol would love the tributes to have a bond like this. I could go on like this for a long time. Tho I think they would keep the special reaping thing for each QQ I would love to read / watch a hunger games about my first idea Love your vids from 🇧🇪

[@stephenmccarthy2517]

Maybe there could be a Quarter Quell where the tributes are reaped out of whoever had the highest amount of slips in the bowl that year? Targeting the 18 yr old poorer caretakes of families like Gale who need the tesserea to sustain their families. Then say the most amount of slips were 42 for Males shared among 8 different males only those 8 males in the district would be eligible for that Quell's reaping.

I've seen some good fanfics about that. In particular, the chapter for the 25th games in the fic called "The Victors Project". The kid who ended up winning the Quell in that fic was voted in because their father killed a child, but other tributes that were voted in by other districts included a teenager who was a serial rapist, and one who was a drug dealer.

[@Margatatials]

I thought maybe, all eligible siblings of the child that is reaped also go into the games, because the choices of individuals effect not only them but their whole families. This might also make careers less likely to volunteer as well because even if they felt prepared they might have a younger sibling they felt wasn't. ALSO poorer people tend to have larger families meaning one district might reap 2 children each from a family of five where another district might reap 2 only children

[@StoryDiver]

Exactly!

[@samjensen392]

The books are told in first person from Katniss’ perspective (the story is told through the character’s eyes; the reader only knows what the character knows, I, me, my pronouns), whereas the movies are told in third person (he, she, they) that’s mostly limited (focused on one character, similar to first person but without first person pronouns) but occasionally omniscient (not focused on one person, but rather can see everything going on at any point). The books by necessity can’t show all the scenes that the movies can, because doing so would break the narrative.

[@barborabicovska9877]

@@samjensen392 That is true but - at the end of Catching Fire, when Katniss wakes up and talks with Haymitch, Plutarch and Finnick, Plutarch speaks as if he did not know about the special reaping, he says that he thought Katniss would be the mentor. He could be lying, of course, but I never got that, I always thought that the Quarter Quell was just a coincidence beneficial for the Capitol

[@Lyca31]

Katniss mentions in (I think it's Catching fire) that she never wants kids because the children of Victors end up as tributes a lot. Too often to be a coincidence. So I think the Capitol put Victors children in the games already. I think it could have been the tributes reaped from only the Districts 12 year olds, or even reap 10-12 year old kids for that year. It would show that, in the war, it was the youngest and most vulnerable who suffered the most.

Maybe there could be one where they put family members against each other to symbolize the civil war between the Capitol and the districts, the Capitol explain it as if they were family with the districts.

Oh that's a very good idea!

The Third Quarter Quell would not bring the victors back to the area, as Katniss thinks, it would be a very good solution to all current problems. Following the last two rules, I believe the original rule would be that only male tributes were reaping. If that had followed, Katniss and Peeta's attention could have been away, and the revolution would not have happened, and Panem would have fallen asleep for another 25 years. In the centenary, I believe it would be very possible that the creators had written that the living victors of the last 99 Hunger Games would return to the arena.

[@sabrina-kk1mf]

My ideas: 1) Remove cornucopia and give each tribute a backpack of which holds the same items, because soldiers got the same resources. 2) The districts would be reaped normally, but they would be split into teams (like in the rebellion), and fight until there is only members of the surviving team left. 3) Every kid only has their name put in once, because in the war the chances of you dying are equal to your neighbor if your a rebel. 4) Kids and relatives of high ranking people in power in the districts are reaped, to show that even if you come from a family of power, the Capitol will always win. 5) Capitol citizens will vote on what district will provide all 24 tributes, to symbolize that the capitol soldiers had to choose where to attack, and also that family turned on family on the war.

[@StoryDiver]

Those are good ideas!

[@suojelijatar]

to expand on the last one: have EACH district send 24 tributes, 12 boys and 12 girls. they are split into 24 smaller arenas of 12 people (so they can't hide for days and have to fight then and there) by district and gender. sole survivor in each smaller arena is then brought together with other survivors for the real games. say it's to remind how the rebels' actions hurt people in their own districts as well as the others or something

[@quincyfulton793]

Here are some ideas I had: Only one tribute from each district-probably an even number of boys or girls-to show that all of the districts had tiny chances of winning the war in the dark days Lowering the smallest age to eight, and there being no maximum age, to show that no matter who you are and what your age is, the Capitol will always rule. That there would be no food or water supplied at the Cornucopia (This one is kind of random and would need extra planning beforehand) All of the tributes would face all of their fears in the arena, and everyone would be targeted by Capitol-made weapons trying to kill them The arena would change into a different arena every 24 hours.

I agree with Billy Verlaek, it seems that the twist is always on how the reaping is done (though we've only seen two examples, so that might not always hold true). One that I think would be interesting would be reaping one gender and having them select their counterpart. So they reap all the girls like normal and they have to pick a boy to go with them. This could represent how at the end the rebels sold each other out. Another could be that the reaping pool is made up of those with the most entries (so in poorer districts, it'd be 18 year olds who applied for tesserae every year). This could represent how much the districts rely on the capital and how the capital does not need those who leech.

My Idea: The 24 that will compete in the games would lose their families instantly due to them all being executed, to remind the districts that as the Rebels had nothing to lose anymore, they do. Arena Concept: All 24 tributes will surround the arena by a mile radius away from each other. The center of the arena is the cornucopia. However, between the cornucopia & the tributes is an active war involving Capitol designed soldiers (mutts). The tributes must get through the entire war in order to reach their desire of a weapon. This is a reminder of the harsh war the land suffered. Those who choose to stay out of the raging war will be killed instantly by explosives. I know what your thinking, if they go into the war they all will die instantly. Well, since this is the 3rd Quarter Quell, let's make things interesting. The tributes will consume an antidote before the games, guaranteed that they have 3 chances of life to spare. 3 symbolizing the 3rd Quarter Quell. But the tributes have nothing to lose now? Not on my watch. The victor will bath in riches & will grant the lives of their family back at the hands of the masterful science of the Capitol. - Yeah I went in. 😂

[@igorf93lipe]

but in the book says that is not allow to volunteer after the name of the tribute was picked.

[@StoryDiver]

No, you have to wait until they ask for volunteers, which happens after the tribute is reaped and presented to the district. So Katniss was supposed to wait for Prim to be on stage, and at that point Effie would ask for volunteers. But you definitely can volunteer after the tribute is reaped. In fact, that is when you’re supposed to volunteer

However, we learn that Haymitch was apart of the “mockingjay” plan that (i believe Plutarch Heavensbee orchestrated).

oh yes! i see now thank you. i actually saw after i asked but i didn't know how to delete it! thank you! i love your videos cause i'm obsessed with the hunger games.

I think one of the quarter quells (maybe 100th) would be a spectacular tournament. The Hunger Games themselves would be attended by a female and male tribute from each district that survived their own District Hunger Games. For example 4 male tributes from one district would battler each other to the death in the semi-finals, with the survivor going up against the rest of the survivors in the Hunger Games finale. So instead of 24 tributes to start with, there would be 96 tributes (12 districts x 8 tributes) in the semi-finals and then the winners from each mini games made up the 24 tributes in the finale. The theme behind this would be that even though the rebels might have won a battle, they still had to face the ongoing war.

My idea: in the propaganda film before every reaping, it was told that “brother turned on brother until nothing remain” during the dark days.... so I believe that the tributes were still going to be children between 12-18 as long has they are Brother and sister.

That's very possible!

An interesting idea would be if every time a tribute dies, the arena gets smaller symbolising how no matter what, the capitol will always overwhelm any rebellion.
