I have a theory. I believe that the training center where the tributes lived in the original trilogy was originally the apartment building where the Snows lived in TBOSAS. What do you think?

For me it's TBOSAS for sure

Just finished reading the books for the first time. Was wondering if you had any favorite quotes. Pretty sure mine are widely popular, but these two just hit really hard since they’re fresh on my mind.

So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?” I tell him, “Real.”

It’s like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years. But there are much worse games to play.

what is your FAVOURITE fun fact about the hunger game trilogy, books or movies!! 💞

Hey all! I’ve recently got back into reading THG, and was seeing stuff about a blood red sky, forest river- & all tributes go crazy? WHERE CAN I READ THIS as well as other lore about this world? Thanks so much! 🥰🫶🏼

I really want to know what everyone is thinking will come up in the new book!!!

Inspired by u/LadyEgg's fantastic map and write-up for a future Panem, and how she mentions that while Katniss was initially written out of history, time and a new generation (including her kids) looking at the events their parents went through made her a far more prominent figure again, and her role venerated. So how would each generation of Panem, maybe 15–20 years after the end of Mockingjay, react to her giving the whole story from her perspective?

Katniss was the mockingjay as a product of District 13 "pushing her" or giving her support. I do not think Katniss would have been the mockingjay herself. Everyone had hope in Katniss except herself and I don't think that's what she wanted in the end.

What how are we going to remind the rebels the the capital is stronger.

Give me the twisted catch and the arena

In the scene where they are sitting by the lake and Lucy Grey shows Snow the katniss plant, he makes a weird face as if he's somehow bothered by the plant. Lucy Grey seems to notice and quickly changes the subject. I know it's meant to be a callback to the original trilogy and Katniss herself, but his reaction kinda feels out of context within that situation. Why would he be bothered by a plant? Don't get me wrong, I loved the parallel, I just don't get why they had him make that face. To me, that's the face post-74th-games Snow would make if someone randomly brought up the katniss plant, not his young self tho. Did I miss something?

this is the ballad of songbirds amd snakes please help

It's just amazing all the seasons but the end!like wtf? Kattnis why didn't you just kill him and boom the end?I didn't like the end, my favorite characters are,johanna,finick,and absolutely katnis,I will read the books now

I feel it is, Greasy Saw says spring is in the air the day he comes back. Again at one of the most miserable times in her life, Peeta's return and him planting the primroses offers Katniss some hope just like all those years ago when he gave her the bread. I think in the book also he shows up for breakfast the next day with bread as well

So we know the districts are pretty big in size, but when we see them we only see one town. Do you think the districts are made up of just one town with a crap ton of people in it, or a bunch of small to medium sized towns around the districts that are brought together for the reapings and Victory Tours? I personally like the idea of multiple small to medium sized towns in the districts because of the size of some of them for example Districts 9, 10, and even 4 and 6. They're pretty big for just one giant town to exist. I don't know if this has been addressed in any of the books/movies because it's been a minute since I've read or watched them, but what do y'all think?

Imo "Pure as the Driven Snow." Wish she would cover "Can't Catch Me Now."

I'm specifically referring to the arena in which basically everyone agreed to save her but she was the only one not allowed to know. in fact it was left ambiguous deliberately so even she didn't know if it was peeta or her being saved.

I found some old Hunger Games Fanart I made for some of the tributes in the 10th Hunger Games.

Marcus, Reaper, Dill and Treech.

This was made in 2021, way before the movie came out.

I was wondering if it would be lore accurate that some careers carried out punishments in their districts as part of their "training" hence desensitizing them to deaths (and actually making some of them lust for blood)?

Or is there like, a fanfic exploring this theme?

i feel like the simple answer is because they all knew katniss and peeta would split from the rest of the group, but is that it or am i just overthinking it?

This is my personal theory, I feel like arenas with a tropical climate are very common like an average forest is. The Capitols location roughly matches Saltlake City, which gets very cold. I feel like the Gamemakers would be smart to realise that if the arenas became holiday destinations that the citizens would love some warmer weather. Obviously you can go two ways with warm weather , the deserts or tropical ones, but the desert arenas are insanely hot to help kill off tributes and I’m sure they can change temperature in the arena but it would just be dry and get cold at night. So I feel like they would make more tropical arenas, and u can make an archipelago arena, a jungle, so many more things with it. Like obviously not every arena because the Capitol would like a mix up, but most people only make 3 tropical arenas but I think it’s around 8-10 arenas that are tropical. Also I know that the Capitol ho to the arenas for Hunger games memorabilia, but I’m sure some will factor in weather and other activities to do like swimming or snorkelling will also entice them to go which could possibly get more money for better games in the future (as they didn’t know about the rebellion).

Have you rewatched a movie as an adult and it’s like seeing it again for the first time but with a new perspective?

You can understand it more, find the deeper meanings, it touches a nerve now, or you can actually relate to it?

This has happened to me with the Hunger Games, I recently watched it again in my late twenties and I feel totally different watching it now than how I felt when I was a teen.

I never cared for the rebellion as a teen, I wanted to see the games. Now I appreciate the fact that a poor 16 year old is the face of a rebellion, that she’s on the frontline, that she’s battling a very real enemy. The rebellion is now harder to watch and the moments of unity and humanity (such as the three finger salute or her “if we burn, you burn with us” moment) actually make me emotional and understand the rallying that happened.

I watch the rebellion and actually feel what I’m supposed to feel, like this is horrible or feel pumped up when the rebels fight back.

Has anyone else had this sort of experience where they understand a movie in a new way after watching it when they are older?

I find that a slightly confusing analogy as in what is Peeta trying to say. I know he is deeply scarred at this point and so I guess he is trying to say it is very hard to in the moment recognise the shiny memories as fake which is why I guess he brings up people growing wings. I still don't think he is making complete sense though. He then says how mockingjays need wings to survive which I don't get why he brings up after Katniss says people can't grow wings but they don't need them to survive.

Okay I know there's a ton of people we want to see the HG pov from, but imagine having a POV from Plutarch H. Him growing up in the Capitol, and his journey through hating the games. I feel that would be an amazing spin off.
