an unhinged recap of the hunger games series (part 1) 

Wayyyyyy out of left field what are you talking about

no way…

same tbh

well, it is the only guy’s name she didn't fake gag at so…🥹

Who wouldn't tbh

Yeah, Katniss was just prepared to kill Peeta if she was forced to because of Snow's brainwashing. Do you remember at the end of Catching Fire where Katniss wanted to kill Peeta first before the Capitol does it themselves? Yeah, that's how the games fucked up Katniss's mental state.

i ALWAYS think about that when that part of the movie comes. i think it's so important and the movie lacked that in my opinion

Honestly there were a lot of moral details that got cut out of the movies and it kinda irked me because of the depth of character lost. These characters are all VERY real, complex and have lives. Each character has their own entire story they could tell, and it's a shame to lose out on parts of katniss that *made* her who she is. I love all the inner monologues between the end of the first book and beginning of the second where katniss is second guessing her actions and beliefs and if she even feels responsible for the uprisings.

😂😂

This is such a young people word that I keep hearing but I don't get it. Where did "game" go? Wtf is rizz?

well if you figured out that it means ''game'' then there's your answer@@mesaana1112 . I don't make the rules, words change and I adapt just like many people. I'm not saying it doesn't exist anymore (the term ''game'') rizz is slang I guess. Sorry for any grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.

​@@mesaana1112 people still use "game." "Rizz" is just the go-to word now tho lol. I was also confused by it at first but understood what it meant pretty quick. It's kind of a dumb word imo but I like it nonetheless, haha

Luckily for her, bestie woke up and spent 65 years haunting him.

i know people have theories she never really loved him and was just using him just as he was using her, and we sometimes also get a couple nods that she uses men to get what she wants, including money thru manipulation or sex work (there was a few hints to that throughout the book tbh) so he was just another play thing for her to win the games, yet imo that song is just debunks that whole thing. that and her rushing to go meet him when he walks off to the side during a performance to find sejanus with spruce and billy taupe (the scene where he shoots the mayor’s daughter). you don’t make a whole song about someone you don’t care about, calling them ‘pure as driven snow.’ also i’m so glad she broke outta the trance that she loved him. my personal theory is that neither of them ever actually liked each other hence why the ending twist kinda came fast. they were in this weird unbalanced power dynamic relationship. snow likes control and he was basically controlling lucy gray the entire time she was his tribute. his feelings towards her lessened when they went back to 12 and she was able to run freely without any pressure of anything and he was no longer her mentor. she, on the other hand, was the lesser one in terms of power because she almost completely had to rely on him to make it out of the games alive. had he not fed her prior she would’ve died of starvation, and he would deliver her meals and water in the arena and give her tips to win. her feelings of gratitude likely morphed into feeling that she loved him. it also helped that he was one of the few people that treated her like a person in the Capitol, even cheating to help her win (tho ofc that was for himself but she doesn’t know it). it’s not the most clear in the book as it’s entirely from his perspective and so we’re only getting his skewed ass version. basically we don’t know if lucy gray had been wary of coryo for longer than the finale cause he had no reason to think she would be after all so that was never added bc he didn’t see it. it was probably a choice from suzanne collins to make it so ambiguous and i love it.

bestie is that not a watermelon on her head?

@@violeta373 no girl?? That is Kirby

watermelon on head,flattened kirby on face

Ik this was posted a while ago but it actually is such a good reflection of our real world currently since the two ppl most likely to get on the ballot are literally in their early 80s rn and would hit 84 during presidency😭 she lowkey ate with this crazy age

actually really useful

i somehow thought snow’s name was cornelius for like half the book until i rlly looked at it 😭

​@@mitski9638I thought so too! 😢😮 That's what I told Amanda I still do

But now I know it's like Cori-o-ellis or something these dystopian novels and their names. Gosh gracious at least it's good.

I always called him Corn lol

never in their favor for sure

I might be misremembering but I thought Rue took out tesserae cause her younger siblings weren't eligible

You should. It is really good

It’s amazing but rues death is PAINFUL in the book

The first book is really good and the third is probably the worst of the series but I still love it (which is very complementing to the rest of the series) also even though she explained the whole thing definitely read ballad of songbirds and snakes because I have read it like five times and love it more on each read.

@@lucygarrett9785 after rereading the series this past few weeks, i've gained a new appreciation for Mockingjay and i think it might be the best of the 3 tbh. Catching Fire was my favorite when i read through them first time and I still might stand by that but the way Mockingjay is such a change of pace and really explores Katniss' trauma and what Peeta means to her, which i really enjoyed 2nd time around. but also Mockingjay gave me the friendship between the 2 pettiest characters and I live for every Katniss & Johanna interaction.

BAHA

i just made it cornelious in my head 😭

the audiobooks pronounce it this way!

@@summer.17omg Same 😂

Misread that as choreo-SLAY-nus 😂

it's the drawfee person???

I saw an edit of Lucy Gray and Snow to Taylor Swift's 'I bet you think about me' and it changed me

Book Peeta is so much better! No hate on Josh Hutcherson because if he was given boom Peeta’s lines he’d kill it, but the movies, especially the first one took out 80% of his personality. Like book Peeta is sweet and kind, but like… he’s snarky af

The worst thing is that Josh Hutcherson in real life is a menace in interviews. He could do it but the script he was given wasn't letting him.

I cant follow what you’re trying to tell us here but I *am* interested so if you would care to explain more I’d listen

​​​@@bubblebunny3088From what I understood, they theorized that the Capitol may have used Trackerjacker venom on Peeta so he hated Katniss. Which, yes, it was confirmed in the book itself.

Especially when he had that buzz cut

He’s supposed to be hot because it makes it easier for him to manipulate people… and it definitely works
