History of Panem: Origin Story (Hunger Games Explained) 

yes, luxury products such as.... suave shampoo

"luxury hair products" *shows suave*

I liked the fact that Coin wanted (as a totally corrupted president) to have new Hunger Games with the Capitol’s children, because it show that the history is often repeating itself and that, the rebels of the past are the ones deciding in the futur and when they’ve won, they can be as cruel as the previous leaders (even on innocent people)

Katniss made the decision to kill Coin when she realized that she was the one who dropped the bombs. One of her biggest turnoffs from Gale toward the end of Mockingjay was his ability to kill without empathy. Gale was also the one who designed the bombing trap at the Capital gates with Beetee, the same ones who killed Prim.

7:59 "The district went on lock-down, and everyone was forced to stay in their house" - This did not age well.

Y'all know that Florida man is still chillin on one of the islands with a beer in one hand a shotgun in the other surrounded by alligators

A lot of you miss the subtle hints at Coin from the moment we meet her. She uses Katniss. Even Boggs tells her that Coin never wanted her, but Peeta, because he would be easier to control. Plutarch advocated for Katniss because he knows that she will spot the corruption on her own and he's counting on her to make the right decision. Katniss ends up killing Coin because she had time to observe her tactics and realized she's just as evil as Snow. You could argue she is even worse than Snow, because she's hiding behind a mask of righteousness, while Snow was always very straightforward about what he was doing and why. Katniss figuring out that Coin had bombed a pen full of children and then hearing her suggestion about holding a symbolic hunger games just reinforced her decision and provided the means for her to get close enough to assassinate Coin and break the cycle.

I would love a movie prequel of Finnick Odair's hunger games, he was really one of my favourite characters throughout the story and seeing him die just left me heartbroken.

Here I was, thinking the districts were just in a long line 😂

Most of the world: "Wow, what a horrible way to live!" North Korea: *Takes notes*

Everyone says Katniss was the start of the rebellion, but in reality, it was Rue. Fly high Rue

I feel like the hunger games has a special connection to the real world we live in that no other series has and a message for humanity that is so much deeper than any other series.

MovieFlame: North America is the only landmass left on Earth. Mt. Everest: *Laughs in Nepal*

The first time I watched the movies and saw the Capital people, I said “Wow, it’s a town full of Jeffrey Stars”

I love getting back into this series. I didn't realize how deep it was when I was a kid, it was just a love story, now I realize it's horror

I think snow made district 12 the poorest with most of the people dark haired because that’s where Lucy came from and also why he was so hostile to katniss because she reminded him of Lucy.

Isn't it kind of ironic that this all started cuz Katniss didn't want Prim to die in the Hunger games but then she ended up dying in the rebellion anyways?

i wouldn't suprised if katniss saw jeffree star outside her window in the capitol

What bothers me about this kind of stories is that they always end after the revolutionaries win. Hunger Games at least show a glimpse of reality when Coin proposes vengeance, but it is never realized. What happens then? Does Panem achieve stability? Are the human rights of capitol citizens respected? Does the new government manage to be more democratic? Do they manage to make Panem more equal or at least raise the living standard of the poorest 10%? Tldr, I's like for once to see a movie/read a book where taking down the evil empire happens half way through the story and the rest is all the troubles of building a stable democracy.

There’s kind of an interpretation of Districts 1 that says that they’re not as rich as they’re perceived. Like yes they’re definitely one of the better-off districts but the story is told from the perspective of Katniss, whose definition of ‘rich’ is basically ‘can afford to eat’

capitol: no fear * district 13 joins the chat* capitol: one fear

Peacekeepers = What Stormtroopers would be like if they could aim I mean, I’m not wrong

Would be interesting to see a prequel and after story for the trilogy.

I loved how in Mockingjay they referred to democracy as this ancient concept that nobody ever heard of. Just goes to show that how after the world “ended”, dictatorship (is it?) took power and ruled Panem for years and years. “And if our ancestors did it, then we can, too.” - Plutarch Heavensbee

Jeffree star would live in the capital.

I feel like the outside world was still functioning, but the government said that there wasn’t so they would entrap the people. You accept things easier if there is no where to go.

Top 3 saddest thing in the hunger games: The community hating on Peeta, We never saw Peeta eating a Pita, and finally Finnic death

Was more a video of "Tasks of all districts" than "Origin story", but I rly enjoyed it

Commander: District 5 has left us with no power. Snow: *DAM* ...

Coin: *dies* Snow: hahahaha

Suzanne Collins (The women who wrote the amazing series) should make some books of earlier years with District 13 or the Year Haymitch got picked or when Katniss's mom's friend got picked. yk I NEED MOREEE

8:30 in the books they didn't know Katniss was there at first. They turned the footage around afterwards to show what happens if you associated with the Mockingjay, but originally they were just bombing the hospitals on purpose.

Then there’s district 14: Florida. No one at the capitol was crazy enough to fuck with the Florida man.

"They used district 13 as an example of what happens when you rebel," just hit me like a rock cause you realize nobody knew they were the only district to achieve such a level of freedom :o

Katniss didn’t kill coin because she suggested the second hunger games, she killed coin because she knew that coin was responsible for the bombing that killed Prim

"the merhcant is the richest part of the district" victors village: am i a joke to you?

Rest of the world: "Shouldn't we tell them we still exist behind their walls and that everything is just fine?" Panem: "Welcome to the Hunger Games!" Rest of the World: "... Nope."

Every district had it's specific job... The capitol was to provide drag queens

The more you think about the Hunger Games the more terrifying it gets.

I wish they would make another movie about what happens after Coin and Snows death.Or a movie about the first rebellion

it broke my heart when the girl from district 4 said “one day, i’m gonna volunteer, just like you!” 😣

Me: *Finds a diamond* Someone: "What are you doing with that useless rock? This is District 7 get back to cutting wood."

Snow: Literal monster-like President Kim Jong Un: *Takes Notes*

Coriolanus Snow was the first peace keeper "unofficially" from district twelve and also the first known ex-peacekeeper to enter as a tribute to the Hunger Games.

One of the most interesting things about Hunger Games is that President Coin suggested to organise Hunger Games with children from the Capitol which was a major trigger for Katniss to kill her, which shows that ultimately Katniss is smart enough to understand that Capitol citizens are not responsible and that power wheel is

In Latin panem means bread 🍞 and it comes from a saying by a Roman philosopher who said that civilisation will be happy with bread and a circus. The bread is of course food and the circus being entertainment, if you think about it the bare minimum satisfies them and to get more food, they enter into the games, which provides the entertainment, distracting them from rebeliion

THE CAPITOL - 2:17 DISTRICT ONE - 3:16 DISTRICT TWO - 3:50 DISTRICT THREE - 4:34 DISTRICT FOUR - 5:13 DISTRICT FIVE - 5:53 DISTRICT SIX - 6:15 DISTRICT SEVEN - 6:47 DISTRICT EIGHT - 7:11 DISTRICT NINE - 8:43 DISTRICT TEN - 9:05 DISTRICT ELEVEN - 9:21 DISTRICT TWELVE - 10:34 DISTRICT THIRTEEN - 12:04

We need so much more hunger games! We need to see Finnick and Haymitchs hunger games, we also need more on snows past, like what happens once he’s under the Dr’s. Teaching. We also need to see katniss’s family tree, and how Katniss eventually came to be the way she is. We also need to see Katniss’s children! Omg there is so much more we need to see and know!

I love how Ohio is just its own district, even in a dystopian world no one wants to deal with it

So the black people are in Atlanta, are one of the poorest, on a plantation, get whipped and have the cruelest and largest amount of police armed in their district. That hit differently.

My teacher linked this vid in the class grants labeled “study guides” for our study of learning the world where books take place.

Districts and their (roughly) corresponding states. District 1: West Montana, Northern Idaho, East British Columbia (CAN), South Alberta, Southwest Saskatchewan District 2: Northern California, Southern Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, West Colorado District 3: Oregon and Washington District 4: Southern California, Parts of northern Mexico District 5: Illinois, West Indiana District 6: Michigan, East Indiana, West Ohio (notably Michigan's Upper Peninsula is given to district 9 in what would be north Wisconsin, As well as all of Panems travel implements are built in or around Detroit with Six being the transportation district, nice detail) District 7: West British Columbia District 8: West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina District 9: Much of the US Great Planes, including Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Northeast Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana. District 10: New Mexico, Northwest Texas, Oklahoma's Pan Handle, Southeast Colorodo(?) District 11: the US Deep South, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and what remains of Florida District 12: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland District 13: All of New England, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut

Let us not ever forget: when we are discussing our favorite parts of this movie, Suzanne Collins' overarching message was "This is what happens when your government gets too powerful."

If I was in a district, I would want to be in 1,2or 4. People in those districts want to go in the games, and would volunteer, so I wouldn’t have to go into the games!! EDIT: Btw I’m Australian so I don’t live in any of the places where they would be. I was also doing it from just my opinion, not from the test!

Fine ill rewatch every hunger games movies

I’ve just finished the series and it was AMAZING! Now time to munch on Hunger Games lore videos I’ve been wanting to watch for years

Something to note is that when Catniss killed Coin she also knew that Snow was already dead, his body hadn't given out yet. He confided in Catniss that he was dying so killing Coin got rid of both of them.

How long until North Korea does hunger games

these books and movies are so well thought out i love them

It's interesting to me that certain districts and certain sections of districts have certain features. I noticed that in the movie too, which they didn't really highlight so much in the film, that the districts seemed segregated by skin color. District 12 reminded me of the concentration camps during the holocaust. Also, how the wealthier sections were blonde hair and blue eyes. President Snow reminds me of Hitler. Maybe Suzanne used him for inspiration to create Snow.

Me: *raises hand to ask about Hawaii Movieflame: "...due to the sea levels rising..." Me: *puts hand down

If anyone is wondering. This is the stuff I watch at 1:00 am after watching all the hunger game movies 2 times in one week

Anybody else really like Effie? She showed compassion for the tributes almost from the get go. I'm glad they featured her more in the movies, in the book she just disappeared and I missed her. LOL. She was also the actress in one of the movies about the early days of Lonesome Dove series . ( Elizabeth Banks)

This is a great video and explanation. Well done!

So are we not gonna talk about how District 11 resembles that of the slave south? From the over policing to being located in modern Atlanta, the refrence seems pretty clear

Thanks for so detailed explanation and information given. Realy. This made my knowledge about the Hunger Games Universe much more structurised.

Well made video bro, got me hooked, right till the end.

Doctor Who Fans: I want a time machine! Harry Potter Fans: I wanna go to Hogwarts! Anime Fans: I wanna go to Japan Hunger Games Fans: Nope.

Is it just a coincidence that theres 13 districts? Like the American 13 colonies that rebelled except they lost the war and the Capitol is like Washington DC except bigger? Edit: Holy hell. Late to saying this but thanks for nearly 3k likes. Never expected this would blow up to be this big | Edit 2: Fuck me 3.5k likes. This is my most liked comment, anyway thanks to everyone who liked it and left a comment

The details that were analyzed in this video are amazing

Who else wants a prequel about Haymitch’s hunger games??

Funny how district 11 is predominantly black, located in Atlanta and it’s the most policed district in panem. Sounds eerily familiar 😑

I loved this. Thank you. I read the books years ago and it's nice to see all the info tidied up in this way. Be well.. 🤙

I had a dream that I lived in the Hunger Games universe during the rebellion and that we discovered that there actually were countries outside of Panem and that some other countries also had Hunger Games. Snow and Coin knew about them but kept everyone in the dark about it. The other countries were then inspired by Panem's rebellion and got rid of their Hunger Games

Panem: We have 13 districts *sea levels start to lower* The British: You mean *colonies* ?

Anyone else think the peacekeepers look like stormtroopers? 😂🤣

Thats a solid work and congrats for the briefing. Now i see that even though i watched all the series of Hunger Games, I had no idea what i was watching until now lmao :))

I just watched the new Hunger Games movie and was curious about Panem lore. Awesome video! Thanks a lot!

And the movies were toned down considerably from the books; there was a lot less actual hunger in the movies. In the books, the Games would often stretch out for weeks, with little or no food available to the tributes. In the Districts and particularly 12, death from starvation was a real possibility, and that wasn't shown in the films...for obvious reasons.

For some reason, whenever I hear the Mockingjay whistle, I get chills down my spine. What a great story!

I’ve watched the movies a bunch of times when I was younger but this is the first time I fully understand them. 👏🏽

Super dope video thanks for making it!

Panem: hey district 13 whatcha doing District 13: nothing just graphite Mining Still district mining with a hushed voice: for now

I still want that prequel series. The formation of Panem would be really cool/compelling to see.

They should really consider doing a series about it like a prequel to the Hunger Games.

Gotta love the 5 second long tune on loop in the background for a quarter of an hour straight.

My theory is the Capitol was formed from a fortress of some type that was built in the rockies to protect people from the disasters, and only the rich could afford to buy a spot. This could've been a way for the rich to guarantee their survival. This could be why people from the Capitol speak in a different accent from the rest of Panem, which could be because many rich people from around the world bought a spot in the fortress. This explains their overall extreme and lavish lifestyle.

When my mom force's me to go somewhere EYES BRIGHT, CHIN UP, SMILE ON

Love how you said where some were located and not others. Awesome great job

Your videos are so helpful!! Thank you!! 🎉

1: luxury items 2: masonry and weapons 3: technology 4: fishing 5: power 6: transportation 7: lumber and paper 8: cloth items 9: meat 10: dairy 11: crops 12: coal 13: nukes Capitol: drag queens

being a fan of both the books and the movies, I really like the video. I just want to add one additional note. When Katniss kills Coin, it's not only because of her suggestion that they have a hunger games with the children of the Capital (though that may have been the breaking point), it was also in part to her realizing that Coin was responsible for an attack on medical workers after the assault on the Capital. They made it appear that Snow was responsible. Katniss's sister Prim was one of the workers and was killed in the attack.

Thank you very much for this. Now I really understand this brilliant movie saga. Thanks again.👍

My friends and I find it fun to see what district where we live would be. I didn't know until fairly recently that Massachusetts, in pretty much every version of the map, is completely underwater. Turns out we wouldn't be 13. We'd be skeletons in the ocean. Most maps put it in western New York state or Ottawa, Canada, not New England. When the oceans rise, New England will be under water.

Thank you so much for mentioning the mayor and his daughter. I was deeply saddened by the fact that they didn't even get a small mention in the movies. In the novels I feel like they... the daughter, at least play a somewhat important part. I mean she gave Katniss the pin, she was the reason that she learned of the rebellion (Katniss was visiting her when she saw an uprising on a screen), was one of the first people Katniss thought of when she walked through the rubble of her district, heck, the daughter even walked through a snow storm to bring Peeta morphine. I feel like she's so important and yet... there's no mention of her.

I wouldn’t even be in a district. I’m in the brown space lmao

I love the lore of this franchise. It just fits so well with what is going on now with propaganda and misinformation and the haves and have nots. I would like a TV series that looks at the dark days

You do great job in these videos!

Okay everyone's talking about Jeffree Star in the capitol, but like can we take a second to realize it's in _Wyoming_ Like nobody goes there

They should make a movie about the Dark Days. That would be cool
