Could there be a Hunger Games with no survivors? 

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!

I would prefer to have 24 winners

There could have easily been no victor in the 74th if Katniss and Peeta had followed through eating the nightlock berries

At the end of the hunger games book, i thought were going to crown Katniss victor because she had more kills. It was my first time reading the hunger games, so i thought that the capitol was going to bomb Peeta and crown Katniss as victor.

I think they’d rather have no survivors than two victors, but Katniss and Peeta were so IMMENSELY popular they had no choice.

a crazy and unlikely thing they could do is make a “mutt” that acts like the dead victor to trick people. That is my crazy idea. It probably wouldn’t work though.

I have some ideas for your next video: 1. What if Katniss killed Peeta? 2. What if Rue and Thresh won the Games instead? 3. What if Cato and Clove won instead? 4. What if Clove killed Katniss? 5. What if Thresh killed Katniss? 6. What if the Morphling didn’t defend Peeta from the monkey mutts? 7. What if Peeta fell with Cato into the mutts? 8. What if Peeta didn’t join the Careers?

Did no one realize how strong Beetee was he took 1 or 2 knives to the back. He’s actually very smart and in his game I think he did get a couple of kills from brute force and not from the electrocution

I guess if they died from wounds. Technically they would have won. But they still would be dead . Very interesting theory 🤔.

As someone who has dealt with PTSD (not going into why) as well as a few other issues, I feel like, in a way, everyone dies in that arena. It doesn’t matter if you survive or not. You lose a part of yourself, and I would argue that you lose some of the best parts, if you end up a survivor. Watching other kids die and/or killing them yourself would take something out of you. Peeta said it in Mockingjay. He said that in the Games, you only get one wish, but the cost of that wish is very high. Caesar says that it costs you your life, to which Peeta replies, “It costs you more than your life. It costs you everything you are.” Admit it, you’ve wanted to kill someone. We all have, I won’t judge you. But wanting to kill someone and actually going through with it are two very different things, and when you think about it, most serial killers usually have other severe mental problems that would impair judgment or hinder their morals. Long story short, I think that there truly is no victors in the Hunger Games, only survivors. And we don’t even know how many of them ended up committing suicide or something when they returned home.

In the case of Katniss and Peeta, could they just kill whoever had less kills in the games and then just have the person who did better be the victor? So Katniss would have won.

They give the districts hope to control them but then break their hopes by saying "even the strongest cannot overcome the power of the capitol" and get angry when the uprising happens.

I believe Haymitch collapsed on the ground knowing that the axe would be coming back but in doing so I do believe it actually injured him a little bit more and that’s when he starts convulsing on the ground

I would LOVE to see something like this in the Hunger Games: A hologram that has the proprieties to take a piece of DNA from the tributes and makes an artificial soul you can talk to, for example I would really want to talk to Clove, Glimmer and Cato. Although this is impossible it would be nice as a victor to get closure with a tribute that you killed, or maybe apologize. Its very far fetched.

Cirrus Quell killed himself at the end! Also Beetee could have accidentally electrocuted himself if he had messed up.

I think that one would have died before the other and since the capitol needs to have there victor they would try to revive the person who died or is on the erg of death and they other person came is second. But idk

Jingle Bells Quarter Quells Happy Hunger Games Peeta Dies Katniss Cries Finnick saves the day HEY TYSM i broke my most liked comment record TYSM

I think in the case of peeta and katniss the victor would be peeta, because snow blames katniss. (Sorry for my english)

haven't watched it yet but I bet it will be great! ✨

For a video maybe you could do: “What if all the tributes stepped of their podiums before the timer went of” Like they are refusing to play the games

In the book katniss told a story about how a girl dropped her wooden ball token and got exploded even though she didn’t step off her platform. So what would the consequences (if there were any) for any tribute who used this to their advantage? Like if someone had a similar token that was mildly heavy and found themself on a platform right next the a career, and they threw their token and blew that person up because the mines would blow them up even if they weren’t on the platform. Or maybe they blew up everything in the cornucopia? They could use shoes and other clothes as well if they had a death wish. How would the capitol react?? 🤔🤔🤔

Anyone remembers Titus? He was killed by game-makers because he was a cannibal. So there is one game with no winners.

For example, Annie Cresta survived when a flood came into the arena drowning the rest of the tributes. She became a victor because she was the only one able to swim. You talked about the idea of no winners. If Annie didn’t know how to swim, there would be no victors?

I’ve actually thought about this a lot I think they would be so desperate for a winner that they would literally do anything in their power to help the dying tribute if they did die they would probably do as you said and do a remembrance tour but if they had found out that the victor was a rebel they might not do so , they might just cancel it make up loads of excuses or just say something on the capitol tv,by the way I love your channel love you so much ❤️❤️❤️

One of the earlier hunger games had no surviving victor. The one that was in an amusement park, there was a fight at the top of the Feris wheel and there were the final two at the top fighting and one killed the other, making them the victor but then they fell off breaking all their bones. This means there was no victor that year. Also i would rate have 2 victors than no victor, but tbh i would rather their would be no hunger games. love your videos

i’ve thought about this a lot! i definitely think their could be but it would be difficult to do without the capitol noticing and getting involved.

Hovercrafts in the books: Full on medical equipment, tables for eating, cargo room. Film Hovercrafts: ok so we got some seats thats all

if i had saw that 2 tributes won i would make it my own lil mission for each year one more victor is alive so 3 then 4 then 5 etc.. until one year 24 tributes refused to fight and stayed somewhere where all or none would die against the mutts or 'natural' disasters.

But I also have to admit, even watching the games would give me issues. The idea of Haymitch having to hold his intestines in his body makes me want to get reacquainted with my lunch (I’d rather not, I had a delicious turkey on rye for lunch)

I would say it's better to have 2 tributes win from the same district, than from differing districts. I do agree with the "do everything possible to keep 1 tribute alive." I mean it would be safe to assume that they could easily heal a tribute, I mean an injection or salve that can heal an infected wound or cut, and replace the skin in the area within a small amount of time is pretty advanced.

I think the medical stuff they have in the capitol and advanced technology would be able to save the victor and the trackers they put on the tributes could send them information about their health and other information

I'm proper addicted to your videos nice video btw

So I know I am very late but I have a question What would happen if there wasn't a rule change after Rue's death? Peeta would probably die because Katniss wouldn't go look for him, but what then? 🤔

I think that this likely happened early on in the Games, and the Capitol introduced precautions to ensure that a non-victor Games never happened. It was largely successful, unless of course the last remaining tributes threatened suicide (as Katniss and Peeta did), thus checkmating the Gamemakers. Great job, I always look out for your videos and am so delighted to see your channel growing!

Imagine being the last two knowing your gonna win, just to get a poisonous spider bite, and both tributes die at the same time

It‘s nice to see after all these years someone still being so passionate and staying so invested into the fandom. Keep it up ! 💘

I don't think so because then there would be nothing worth fighting for. Staying alive is there 1 goal and without that they won't kill.

Yes because as soon as I saw the title of the video I I automatically thought about Annie’s hunger games and how they flooded the arena, like weren’t they thinking that everyone could die from this. Plus I believe that earlier in the hunger games that they had years were everyone died but they realized that this was bad idea to have a no winner because the capitals people wanted a winner and it would be a wast of a show and arena if everyone died

I think if all tributes (including the "victor") die in the arena, the head gamemaker would probably die next ... we've seen what happens to them if they mess up.

There was one game mention where most of the tributes froze to death because the arena was a woodless snowscape. Katniss also mentions how there was barely a victor due to them almost dying from hypothermia.

In the 38th hunger games the arena was an amusement park and the victorious tribute fell of the Ferris wheel, breaking all of his bones.

I think that if both final tributes were severely injured and were in a verge of dying the game makers would chose who dies and who lives. Then controlling the arena to kill the other one (like sending a wild animal or a tree falling). This gives a real winner that they can save

It must be very reassuring to be from one of the districts that has careers knowing that even if you get called somebody else is going to volunteer for you

i know i’m a bit late but i think they would still be victor, as all victors die eventually, just because they died before the victory tour and everything doesnt make them less of a victor than one that died a few years after they won

I think having no survivors is more likely than we think. For example, in the 74th hunger games, Cato, Katniss and Peeta could all be killed by the mutts quite easily, and potentially in a way that means they can’t be resuscitated

i'd love to read a canon book about haymitch's experience in the quarter quell. that'd be so interesting. actually, i'd love to read about how all the victors from catching fire won (especially johanna, wiress, beetee, finnick, and enobaria)

This is a really interesting concept! I like how you mentioned that the Capitol would paint it as 'a true victor, giving their life in memory of the war' when really it was another child killed in the Games. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that were to happen.

Really cool and interesting video! There is definitely a huge possibility that there could have been a games with no victor. I’d love to see a video discussing how the story could have been different if Katniss and her mother got along from the beginning. I was just rereading the start of Catching Fire and thought of how cool it could have been if Katniss and her mom bonded over them feeling overwhelmed and unable to deal with their circumstances, since Katniss felt a lot of pressure about the Victory Tour and her mother had gone through a depression after Mr. Everdeen was killed. Thanks again for your amazing videos! They are all so creative and I love watching them!

I hope your doing good with everything thats going on

you are soo creative! thank you for making these!

I think having no victor would have been good to see because even though the capitol should probably still twist the story it would also be a massive slap in the face. I wonder though, if his family refused to comply with the remembrance tour if the capital would still tortured them?

hi you’re my new favorite youtuber!!! i’m glad i discovered you.

Wow... really good video, I've been reading the hunger games series for the second times and I'm really into it

In 38th Hunger Games victor suffered a fall in final battle from ferris wheel and broke all bones.

Love all of the content you post❤️! Subscribed✅

but if there were no survivors and it was an outlying district i think there would be a lot of contreversy.

This reminds me of another of your videos where you talked about what the third quarter quell would be, maybe one could be that there was no victor, they had to live in the arena until they died from a 'natural disaster' or malnutrition to show that it was the capitol that won the rebbelion.

Okay so what if a tribute pulled a stunt like in catching fire. Found a way to break the force field and runs away? How would the capital react. I just finished the series and I have questions!

I love your videos so much! They really help me think and help me focus when I find it hard. Thank you

I feel like it might be cool to see what would really happen if there were no survivors. Love your hunger game videos btw :)

your videos are amazing !!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your content

I guess if they decided not eat the nightlock berries, Katniss would of run away because she wouldn't want to kill Peeta. So Peeta would have died from blood loss and that would make Katniss the Victor.

Wait. That would be an accidental suicide since she was the one that threw the weapon and it bounced back at her skull. But it could also be counted as a murder since the Capital had their forcefield up and the weapon bounced back and killed her.

Your videos always make my day good!

Your channel is so underrated, i really want to thank you for putting time in making all these fantastic videos! They help entertain me when I’m feeling down, thank you keep going!

Awesome video your channel deserves so many subscribers I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this channel

Okay. 5.000 subs... WOW. You’re growing so fast! I’ve subscribed on this channel since 300 subs, it feels like yesterday. Congratulations!

I love your video 👍 you can do another one about the different kinds of arenas for the games !

I believe that having 2 victors is better than having none. If there are two victors it means 1 more life Is saved than usual. Also, it means one more person can return home to there family. The down side of having two victors is that 2 people have to face the great life while watching their districts life in poverty. Plus, they would have to also survey through all the horrors the Hunger Games has left for them.

Only you and Effie can pull off wild lipstick colors.

I actually think there was previously a Hunger Games that was victor-less, which was why the Gamemakers chose for Katniss and Peeta to survive together. They could have easily let them both die, yet they still chose to let them be a victor duo. They wouldn’t know the Capitol’s backlash if it hadn’t happened before and if it were to happen once again, that would explain Seneca’s choice.

literally saw one video and im hooked! Also, I think you’re a really good youtuber and just a good person im general, because you reply to practically every comment and I can tell just by the way you talk!

I agree with you. The capitol would do their best to have a victor. Two victors would be better thsn none.

hi! i’m not sure if ive already asked, but could you maybe do a video on all the known arenas + any possible ones? thank u!!!

So glad you made this video, I've always wondered what should happen in that situation

Although the capitol really needs a victor and will do almost anything to have one if there were to be a game where there was none it could be like a reference to the war something like “in the war there was no such thing as a rebel victor they most died” or something like that

I have never thought of this great video💕

You have a new subscriber! I love the hunger games and your video! Keep up the good work!

There must have been at least one game with no victors we know how violent the final confrontations can be!

I love your videos and you get to 5k subs soon!

Congrats on 5k!!!! Been here since 2k!!

I love how old fans suddenly resurfaced for the new book release

This could happen if Katniss and Peeta ate the Nightlock Berries

I love your videos! My question is, what would happen if the landmines around the starting pedestals malfunctioned, failed to deactivate, and all the tributes were killed immediately that way?

OMG, So excited , i miss the videos. hey i love that the channel is growing can't wait for you to be a celebrity

Im glad people are still talking about hunger games, its my favourite movie but its nice to see people still care about it

It could be very likely that there would be no victor of a Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is literally just a fight to the death, and even if you don't die in the arena, the victor would still be scarred for life and practically dead inside anyway. This can be seen in the finale before Cato falls off the Cornucopia and dies from the mutts, and he says that he was 'dead anyways' and 'always was'. Also, the last tribute could possibly realize this before they are out of the arena, and they could decide to kill themselves with nightlock berries or something because they know that life will be hell after they become a victor. It really depends on the arena, the tributes, and the Gamemakers' decisions in the Games.

I think if the rebellion hadn't begun directly after the 3rd Quarter Quell, the 76th games may not have had any survivors. I think in Snow's mind, the only way to quell the hope and the tension in the districts would be to have no survivors. Snow said himself, "Hope is their greatest weapon, a little hope is fine, a lot of hope is dangerous" But this would not be risk-free for the government, the Capitol people love the victors and they are an integral part of The Hunger Games experience their. A Hunger Games where no one survives might backfire and make the government extremely unpopular in the Capitol.

WOW this is a very interesting and detailed analysis. I love your channel and hope you get the views you deserve. May the odds be ever in your favor.

No one: Not even the crickets: Story Diver: *talking about an axe getting lodged in a girl’s skull

If there's no victor, maybe a rebellion will start as it started after 74th hunger games because of the berries... but I think the rebellion won't be succesful (if it would even start) because people wouldn't have enough hope to fight against the Capitol... or maybe they would and any of other alive victors would take the role of the „mockingjay“ or some kind of leader... that's just my theory... you're one of my favourite youtubers, by the way😆😆😆I can't wait for another story diving

I'm at the age of being eligible to join the games. My heart would drop when my name is called.

This channel needs more subscribers 💙

I love ur videos!! They are so underrated❤️🥺 could you make a video to how the game makers make sure that the tributes are dead?❤️

Very interesting theory! I love your videos, they are very interesting and I love all of your ideas! 💞

Hey! Great video. You have a new subscriber 😁.

Haymitch collapsing part was wrong. He ducked because he knew the weapon would bounce back. Like the part of him tossing the rock and surprised it came back. So he knew the axe would come back and hurt her was his only way of winning.

Cirrus quell killed him self at the end of his games which led to the quarter quell to be created. Suzanne needs to make that canon cause it makes so much sense

i was going to ask for a video about this!

I definitely think the game makers would choose the more popular tribute and say that they died last
