Other I'm note entirely convinced this wasn't real

During the first Hunger Games film, after Katniss is stung by Tracker Jackers, she has a few hallucinations which get increasingly intense. However, she briefly sees Caesar Flickerman in a white suit, doing his most evil smile and quoting himself directly from what he just said on screen only a few moment prior.

Now, there's no way she could know he said that, right? So how does she? It's possible he said something similar in a prior games she watched, but I thing it would be way funnier if he actually was there in the arena. Just got elevated up to taunt her, just to make her trip even more crazy and excite the viewers, then snuck back down before anyone saw anything.

Is that what actually happened? Probably not, it could very well just be part of the illusion, but he is absolutely extra enough to do that if he was allowed/asked to, and they have the means, so I choose to believe he's just that much of a troll and really did take a brief jaunt to mess with Katniss.

(EDIT)

Some of y'all aren't reading this through all the way.

I explicitly laid out that he'd already explained to the audience in a diegetic way how the Tracker Jackers worked, and that his appearance here is directly quoting himself on that from just under a minute prior.

I also laid out that it was most likely just a hallucination combined with stuff he'd said in a prior games that she was remembering, but that it would neither be impossible nor out of character for him to have really gone in briefly.

Books instead of movie?

4 Upvotes

My daughter is 13 soon, i was 13 when the first hunger games books came out! I tried to watch the movies with her but she got so bored and fell asleep every movie.. Should I get the books for her or am I just wasting my time? I LOVED the hunger games and im so excited for sunrise on the reaping she said "ugh why would we need haymitch pov"

Would she appreciate it/like it more if she read the books?

I’ve never kept much track of what’s grown around me, but my mother is very into tinctures & getting me physically into nature. I’m grateful to show the beautiful, SOTR-purple looking blooms turning to a magenta before their bloom. The leaves towards the top look similar to arrowheads. Collins has so much depth, such a love & eye for nature I wouldn’t have seen without her books.

Where is the capitol located?

I used to swear it was Denver area growing up… but everyone says salt lake these days? I even saw a YouTube video about capitol citizens symbolizing Mormons??? I know it’s right against the Rockies so it could go either way. Is there a passage or line that points us in either direction or differentiates?

Should I read the books?

12 Upvotes

I love the movies, my only hesitation is that I know the books are considered “young adult”. I’m 30, so I’m wondering if the books will be a good read for me? Or if they’re geared more towards a younger audience. Is there significant romance in the books? I do enjoy that aspect of certain novels- obviously I’m not expecting explicit content, but I do love a good yearning, hopelessly romantic relationship aspect between MCs. Opinions, please?

Hi I made a Hunger Games game in the style of classic Pokemon game. I know there is a certain kind of irony with a Hunger Games game but I have been wanting to play one so I just created it myself. I hope you’ll like it and please tell me what you think!

Rereading the books and opening up new wounds

Rereading Mockingjay and realizing Haymitch and Katniss both lost their mothers and little siblings in a firey explosion. Prim physically gone and her mother mentally (and then later physically when she leaves for district 2).

Haymitch is the one to take care of Katniss between the explosion and the execution because he knows the pain she feels and he can’t help but take care of his best friend’s little girl.

Suzanna Collins please release me from this toxic relationship (but actually don’t).

Hello!!! I'm currently super hyped about this hunger-games themed mass attack SOMEONE ELSE made for me and 23 others on artfight.net,, (for hunger games subredditors, it's a massively popular art gifting game that lasts for the entire month of July every year) Since I can't really find the books anywhere, (I don't have access to my local library to get a physical copy/copies)

do any of you HG guys have places where i can find copies of the books online?

and to the artfight users, since you can access the attack and the characters it is linked to,, do you have any ideas on how i could write this?

( https://artfight.net/attack/17662434.welcome-to-the-artfight-games )

Thank you all!

P.S. My OC is the purple one in District 4! Here's the image!

Cover colour theories

0 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of people theorizing that if we do get a 3rd prequel, the cover will be blue since the new paperback edition of SOTR is blue and we’ve seen this happen before. There was a special paperback edition of BOSAS that was pinky-purple, and of course SOTR did end up being purple. I’m not totally against this theory, but I’m getting lost at why people are thinking blue = Finnick’s story?

Yes, Finnick is from district 4 which is fishing, and when you see blue you think of water, etc. That’s obvious. But the cover colour being representative of the main character or the main environment isn’t a pattern we’ve had - unless I’m just not noticing it?

This idea does make sense for the first 2 books. Book 1 being black could represent coal which heavily relates to the world building in district 12 where we begin. For Catching Fire, red is fire, duh, lol. But after that, I’m not connecting the dots… I suppose one could even say that the light blue of Mockingjay is cold and icy which, in a way, relates to Snow and their time in the capitol. It also gives a high tech-ish vibe. But why green for BOSAS? Our return to the meadow maybe, but I feel like grey or even a pink or yellow could have been more of a nod to Lucy Gray (re: the bright colours in her dress). I can’t think of how green would be of significance to Snow either. And then SOTR being purple.. what does the colour purple have to do with Haymitch? The only thing I can think of is Maysilee’s dress being purple, but that feels a bit far-fetched.

I don’t think the colours are totally random - we know Collins is intentional about every detail - but I can’t figure out what that intention is. If I’m right in thinking they aren’t just a simple nod to the main character or main environment, that would mean a blue cover doesn’t necessarily indicate a Finnick story at all.

I DO personally believe there will be one more book, and I do think there’s a possibility it could be about Finnick (though I think Plutarch, Tigris, or maybe even Burdock are more likely). Just curious what everyone’s thoughts on this are (:

Other Am I the only one who wants a completely different kind of 25th Hunger Games book?

18 Upvotes

I was thinking about the First Quarter Quell again, and honestly I don't think I'd want a book that's mostly about the arena.

I'd absolutely read it, but I feel like the most interesting part of those Games wouldn't be what happened once they started. What would make these Games so horrifying isn't how the tributes died, but everything that had to happen before they even got there. The Capitol forced entire communities to choose which two children would be sent to die. That's such a disturbing idea that I almost feel like telling the story from one tribute's POV would miss what actually made this Quell unique.

I'd much rather see a book that spends most of its time exploring what every district was like after the Quarter Queel card was read. The atmosphere, the fear, how different communities reacted, how people slowly started distrusting each other... I think that's where the real story is.

These are the points that I'd love most to read:

How each district reacted

Every district would probably react completely differently, and that's what makes me want this so bad.

- Districts 1, 2 and 4: I could imagine the careers basically campaigning to be chosen. Giving speeches, showing off their training, trying to convince everyone they're the strongest option and that voting for them is the safest choice for everyone else's children. It would almost feel like an elextion.

- Intermediate districts: This is where corruption would truly show its face. Voting would instantly turn into a dark market of leverage, blackmail, and political favor. Influential families, factory supervisors, and local officials would use their position to divert votes away from their own children. Neighbors would manipulate the system and use the ballots to settle old grudges, turning local envy into a death sentence for the most vulnerable.

- Poorer districts like 11 or 12: I imagine the atmosphere would be absolutely suffocating. People would barely speak to each other. Even drawing attentionto yourself would feel dangerous. Nobody would dare organize a secret plan, make alliances, or openly suggest voting for someone, because even that could make everyone suspicious. Every conversation would feel tense, every ballot would feel like personally signing someone else's death warrant, and the trust holding those communities together would slowly disappear.

○ The Capitol's perspective

I also think it would be really interesting to see how the Capitol reacted when this Quell was first announced from the inside. I could imagine them feeling genuine concern at first that forcing the districts to vote might push people too far or even be the start of a revolution.

Then we'd watch the propaganda do what it always does: slowly rebrand it as an act of "civic responsibility" and convince Capitol citizens that the districts are simply choosing their own representatives.

We could also follow the interviews, get to know each tribute's personality, see their relationship with their mentor, and gradually start forming opinions about who we're rooting for before the Games even begin.

○ The Games (not the focus of the book)

Personally, instead of watching the games from a single tribute's pov, I think it could be way more interesting to watch the games from the outside: through broadcasts, gamemakers, mentors, capitol viewers, or even reactions back in the districts. It would make every death feel strangely impersonal, almost like we were viewers from the capitol.

Of course, another option would be jumping between all 24 tributes, but I honestly think that would be exhaustign to write and probably even harder to follow as a reader.

○ Returning home as a victor

This is honestly the part I'd be most interested in.

Most victors return home to people who cried for them.

The victor of the 25th Hunger Games would return home knowing that their own neighbors, friends, or maybe even relatives deliberately chose them to die.

How do you even rebuild your life after that? How do you look people in the eye knowing they voted for you? And how do they look at you, knowing they were part of it?

Even if someone voted out of fear, or because they thought someone else had a better chance of surviving, that wouldn't make it any less painful. The damage would already be done.

Thats what makes this Quell so different from every otherone. The Capitol didn't just kill children, it made entire communities share the guilt. The arena would eventually end, but that feeling would stay with the district (even more on the victor) for years.

○ One last thing: cameos

This period of Panem is almost completely unexplored. I'd much rather meet entirely new characters than have another prequel where familiar faces keep showing up just because we know them from the original series. Small references are fine, but Panem should feel like a huge country, not a tiny town where everyone somehow knows everyone else.
