The reason Clove (evil speech girl) took out another knife is because in the book she was going to kill Katniss slowly and enjoy it but they cut that out in the film and in the book Thresh (big black guy) bashed her head in with a rock not smacking it on the Cornucopia❤

@@matchalemon_ I totally agree with the other person who replied. you should definitely read the books!!! All the characters are so much better in the books, especially peeta.
They give a lot more detail in the book (obviously). Volunteering is an established thing. It's more complicated in the districts closer to the capitol where they have more resources and actually train kids to fight. Those kids then volunteer. They're called "Careers". Katniss is the first volunteer from District 12. No one else has done it, because with how poor and starved District 12 is, it's basically a suicide mission to volunteer. It's pointed out that Peeta has at least one brother within the age range that could have volunteered for him, but it just isn't done. That's why they all respect Katniss so much, for in their minds, giving her life for her sister's. Katniss mentioned that Peeta was strong and that she'd seen him throw huge sacks of floor over his shoulder. He burnt the bread on purpose, risking getting beat by his mother, so that he could throw it to Katniss. Them giving Katniss a high number is not great, it makes her a target for the Career tributes. If they think she's competition, they'll go after her hard.
Technically in the books, it’s mentioned that it’s been ages since someone from District 12 volunteered and because of this they don’t know the protocols
Bruh, bags of flour are heavy. That’s where Peeta gets his strength from. Doing the grunt work at his family’s bakery since he was a kid. It’s kinda like farmer strength.
Yeah, though to be fair I don't think they mention that that is why he's strong in the movie. It's absolutely mentioned in the books that he moves the heavy bags of flour around all day.... But I don't remember if they mentioned it in the movie which is why they're confused as to why he's all of a sudden very strong.
No they do in the movie when Peeta mentions Katniss ability to shoot she goes “Peet’s strong, I’ve seen him lift big bags of flour all the time” or something like that
@@AnxietyRat i think it’s probably also just hard doing commentary while having the movie play, like i gotta sneak this joke in before another plot point comes in if that makes sense.
@@heyhimichelle I mean they can and do pause. So do a lot of other reacters... they pause so that they can say what they're thinking about or say the joke that they want to say and then they continue on watching the show.

That last part with Cato is not for his character development but for us to realize that trained or not, all of them are a victim and that capitol can throw you out of the bus no matter how trained you are in the hunger games just for their entertainment.
The fact that they went on a whole rant about Peeta’s strength not making sense but it’s just because they didn’t listen to the conversation on the train bothered me so much😭 He lifted giant bags of flour every day
Dude same like I know most people don’t know how much a bag of flour would way but Katniss literally says “I’ve seen him lift hundred pound bags over his head” 😭 also Kneeding dough would work out your muscles a ton (my mom is a baker, she’s strong as fuck)
You were asking why Clove (the knife-throwing girl from District 2), who caught Katniss at the "feast", didn't kill her immediately, but was giving that ridiculous speech, bragging about killing Rue, which ultimately resulted in her own death. Well, you're forgetting this is a television show (which is sick, but that's the way it is). It's all done for entertainmnet of the audience. In the book, Clove was actually going to not just kill Katniss, but slowly torture her to death, cutting bits off her face until Katniss dies (yes, Clove was that evil). She said "I will give the audience a really good show".
clove wasn’t evil, it was engrained into her mind from childhood that the games were an honor and she was brainwashed into this mentality. she’s just a kid and as much of a victim as any other tribute. also cato from the start wanted to be the one to kill katniss and before the feast he said that he would let clove be the one to kill her if she was there as long as she gives the capital a show. for sponsors.
@@apollogetically Yes, I'm aware of the kids from the Career districts being brainwashed into such a mindset from a very young age, and training to kill easily. But Clove (I repeat) wasn't going to just kill Katniss. She was going to slowly TORTURE her to DEATH, and not with a purpose of finding out some information, etc, but just for a "good show". Even if someone was being brainwashed for their entire lives, into the mindset that killing in the Huger Games is honourable, torture is still a totally different thing, and still takes a "special" personality to be able to do it. So, no, a teenager who was going to torture another teenage to death, and being not just OK with it, but excited and bragging about it (in the book, Clove's speech was much longer, and she was giving Katniss the details of how exactly she was going to torture her), was definitely not "just a kid" and "as much of a victim". She was a total psychopath.
About Thresh (the guy from District 11), who just shows up at the feast, while no one knew where he was before. In the book, he was in the part of the arena no other tribute went to. It was not a forest, but a field with different grains and other crops growing there. Being from District 11 which was the agricultural district, Thresh knew all about different plants, so that field would be a good source of food for him. Regarding him abandoning Rue, his district partner, at the beginning of the games, - well, he thought Rue was a liability, since she was pretty much inevitably going to get killed. He decided not to get attached to her from the beginning. When her learned about the rule change, it was too late for him, Rue was already dead.
If you’re confused about Katniss‘ feelings for Peeta. She cares for him, but the things in the cave were acted, because she knew the sponsors would love it and send the things Peeta needed to survive. He’s more like a friend to her and in the end, after the games, they actually have an argument about it, because Peeta realizes that her feelings weren’t what he thought the were and it hurt him.
In the book, the beasts that attack them and shred Cato are called Muttations, or simply mutts, and each one resembled a fallen tribute, being created with their DNA, wearing a collar marked with the district numbers. Peeta finds an uncanny resemblance of the mutts eyes compared to the tribute‘s, so much he wonders if the Capitol used their real eyes. Katniss is able to recognize five tributes. There is one described as the smallest with a curly dark brown coat. Rue. The girl that got stung to death was Glimmer and one beast wore a bejeweled collar, had blonde fur and emerald eyes. One of the beasts is described to jump higher than the others and also the biggest. Thresh, the boy who saved Katniss from the knife throwing girl. One mutt was small, had fire-red fur and amber eyes, resembling Foxface, the girl that ate the berries. The fifth one is the boy from District 9. Also, in the book, Katniss questions Foxface‘s death, as she had shown extensive knowledge about plants and berries during training, so it would be unlikely she didn’t know about a highly lethal berry. Katniss mentions that she looked emaciated and would’ve sooner or later died from starvation. So, she believes the girl killed herself.
16:41 she’s angry bc she doesn’t believe he’s being genuine. She’s suspicious of him. There’s only meant to be one winner. Meaning she believes everything he says is a carefully planned strategy to benefit him and possibly hurt her. She thinks he made her look silly with the “crush” admission. When she doesn’t understand people’s motivation she jumps to anger. Katniss is not a well adjusted individual. She’s a traumatized teenager
I really wish they made it more clear that Katniss has a lot of pent up rage due to losing her father, resentment of the Capitol, and being forced to fill both parental roles due to her mother’s depression. The way they filmed it made it seem like her anger towards Peeta came from nowhere.
At the end when Cato is talking about how he's 'dead already' it's basically because through the games and after his girlfriend got killed he realises hes been raised and trained for these games since he was a child and was basically being raised like a pig for slaughter and was sold lies his entire life. The book def goes into more detail about the other tributes and their back stories that only get touched on in the film - like explaining why certain tributes are more willing to kill than others and stuff but i think the contrast between this movie where they are mostly inexperienced children competing versus the rest of the films is really interesting. Hope you react to catching fire next its probably the best of the series !
Clove wasn't Cato's girlfriend, just his District partner. After the announcement of the rule change, Cato and Clove were another pair from the same district who were both still alive, so obviously they hoped both of them had a shot of winning.
@@virsaviat2325 glimmer might have been, and clove might have been aswell following the rule change (in the book cato runs over to clove and starts crying for her, in the movie it just looks like glimmer and cato were together)
Y’all missed the part where katniss said Peeta could lift hundred pound bags of flour over his head. Also kneeding bread works your muscles in the same way working out would. That’s why peeta is strong
to answer your question about volunteering - one person can volunteer for another, but they have to also be within the ages of 12-18 and the same gender as the person they volunteer for. so, katniss can volunteer for prim, but gale couldn’t (because he's not a girl) and katniss's mom couldn’t (because she's too old). also, only one person can volunteer per category - so, someone couldn't volunteer after katniss and take her place. some richer districts win pretty much every year, so they always have volunteers, and it's seen as an honor. but katniss is the first volunteer for her district, because they almost never have winners so it's basically a death sentence. hope this made sense!!
not me screaming all the answers to cory’s questions at the screen 😭😭 some of them are only answered in the books but a lot of them can either be picked up by context clues or simply by paying attention. Which i get isn’t really 100% possible when drunk which is fine. For example katniss knowing what nightlock looks like is better explained in the books, but it’s still pretty easy to figure out in the movie, like Nick did. Peeta’s strength is also better explained in the books, but the movie answers that question too by telling us he’s a baker and by katniss telling us she saw him throw bags of flour over his head. Bakers are hella strong, it’s not an easy job.
Regarding the books: Yes of course there's a lot more depth in the books and I think that especially the third one is way more emotional in the book version. However, I think the Hunger Games is one of the best book adaptations out there.
16:41 The reason why Katniss reacts like this is because she thinks that Peeta admitting he liked her was just a manipulative tactic only for sponsors, and because she thinks it makes her look like a lovestruck fool, the type of girl she looks down on.
whats crazy is in the books the mutts were modeled after the fallen tributes. They all had collars with the name of a fallen tribute. Katniss even questioned if thats where their bodies went.
To anyone still confused as why Peeta is strong. He used to do the actual heavy lifting on the bakery so he became really strong from like, carrying bags of flour. Also, he is know for being able to "take a hit" because he suffered physically abuse growing up
Clove was psycho. She could have killed Katniss painlessly, quickly, but wanted to make a spectacle of her death instead. She wanted to give the cameras a show and enjoy killing as well. That's what the second knife was for. Torture
I don’t feel like they explain why Peeta tossing Katniss the bread is so significant in the movie. The whole of District 12 is starving, and Peeta would have gotten in trouble and taken a beating from his Mum just by giving Katniss that food. Katniss learned to hunt with the bow and arrow in order to feed her family… she might have starved to death if Peeta hadn’t given her that bread
Guys this is absolute confirmation that you have No idea what it’s like to work in a bakery or make bread from scratch. I triple dog dare you to make 2 loafs of just plain bread and film it. Then I want you to imagine doing that process with many variations depending on what bread you are making and how much of said bread you need. Every day beginning at 4:00am in the morning. Then lift 50-100lb weights 10x for conservatively 5 sets. And also expect to work 14hours a day. Normal day for a baker. •prep •mix/kneading •proofing •baking •cooling racks •packaging Working at a bakery is not for the faint of heart. I lasted 2 months cause fuck that. 😉Oh and cake decorating is an art form that takes hella skill to master.
They can’t take any of these seriously no matter how good they are. They are BEYOND annoying. I’d like to see them watch it without a camera in front of them so we maybe just maybe get a genuine reaction instead of trying to be entertaining
“the birds in the trees would be robots” well in the books the old mutated ones called jabberjays could actually record conversations and were spyware for the capitol until the district rebels figured it out and started sending false information, these birds mated with mockingbirds which created the mockingjays that copy song😭also the books were way more detailed and the games actually lasted a lot longer in the books than perceived in the movies, their parents were also a lot more explained in the books and how bad they were
The Hunger Games is used as only one thing: punishment. In the Capital minds, the districts had the audacity of fighting them and almost destroying Panem, so the punishment was showing that the Capital had the power of taking the districs' kids from their safity and slaghter them. It's a show of power, to show that the Capital is so strong that no one can stop them from killing children and that the districs should even dare to rebel again
The district that are trained always volunteer it’s basically the best they go to school and it’s whoever is most likely to win. District 12 is one of the poorest so they have never volunteered. They have only had 2 winner out of 73 games
Not them thinking being a baker doesn't require strength😂. You basically knead and carry heavy ingredients most of the time so Peeta being strong is very logical.
Honestly, these movies are fire. I don't know why they get grouped with the YA romance movies of the same time that get hated on. The primary story here is not a romance and the acting and plot is legitimately fantastic.
Y’all don’t shit on peta. If you’re kneading bread 24/7 and taking care of FARM animals like you’re gonna get some kind of muscles outta that. It’s giving jealousssss🤭
If you guys like this kind of genre of movies, then you should react to the Maze Runner trilogy next! It has a very similar vibe to the Hunger Games, especially since it’s another YA dystopian movie.
Gladiators + Project Runway is literally it. Then later in the franchise it becomes like V for Vendetta + Project Runway. I think more movies need that Project Runway element to be honest.
In the books, we are also made aware that peta was on the wrestling team at the school and If i remember correctly was one of the best. He is just very strong. He is also just a very talented painter. I watched the movies before reading the books and after I read the books the first movie really annoys me because they left out such important details. They also totally make the pin seem cursed whereas in the book, the pin is gifted to Katness after she volunteers for prim
I think that you guys will really like the new movie when it comes out in November, it’s a prequel to the tenth hunger games (60-ish years before this) so there’s not as much technology or interference from the capitol, the games part of the book is much more reliant on just the tributes but it’s the first time sponsors can send food and first time they get mentors
I LOVE these movies and books. I did read the books before I watched the movies and there is obviously a lot more context in the books but this is overall one of the best book-to-movie adaptations! especially the second book/movie Catching Fire!
The idea about the cursed mockingjay pin actually kinda does make sense if you consider the info given in the books that that pin originally belonged to a girl who died in the Hunger Games herself as a child. However of course in the books Katniss only received it after she volunteered for Prim as a token from Home from the girls niece.
Okay so here comes all the explainations 1)The age difference is supposed to be that way, the games not being fair is the point, its not just entertainment for the rich, its a warning for every district to stay on their lane and obey, its the capitol saying "We own you, and your kid´s lives are on our hands, we can take it all away as we please. 2)They dress like that because colored fabrics are expensive, same as in the older days, colored clothing is a luxury. 3)Only the people between 12 to 18 can volunteer, a parent wouldnt be able to volunteer even if they wanted to 4)Peeta is that strong because he was the one who moved all the ingredients at the bakery, think like, lifting heavy bags of hundeds of punds of flour every day. And he is actually an artist, but he could only practice on cakes because paint is too expensive to waste just for a hobby. He purposefully burned the bread to give it to Katniss who was starving after her father died and she was the only one supporting her family, that moment is what gave her hope and pushed her to learn how to hunt and basically saved her and her family 5)They see the faces of the deceased to know who they are still fighting agains and who they dont have to worry about anymore
Wait till you see the new hunger games movie coming later this year. The girl wears a rainbow dress instead of monotone. It’s funny bc it’s from the past and like fifty years before katniss was born
one of my comfort series and comfort youtubers!! i got so excited when i seen this post show up, pls do the other 3 movies!! also katniss is 16 in this movie. ive been hearing a lot about the concentration camps lately, mainly for school, but in the media too..
The fact that bakers are some of the strongest people especially in this story cause Katniss said she’s seen him easily lift hundred pound sacks of flour and carry them on his shoulders
I’m sure it’s already been commented but with the bread scene Katniss had been actually starving almost to the point of death so Peeta purposefully burnt bread so his mom would tell him to throw it out and he could give it to her. It was only burnt on one side anyway
A lot of stuff got left from the books because so much of it was Katniss's perspective and her inner dialogues, and that's really hard to be translated into movies. District 12 has a school, the dogs were actually humanoid animal-people made to look like the other tributes, and the Game Makers would step in when they thought things were getting "too boring". Katniss saves Peeta because she feels like he owes him for the bread; they were only 11 in the books and Katniss and her family were on the verge of dying from starvation, and she wanted to make the Capitol and Game Makers look like idiots who couldn't control their tributes or the districts.
Please read/listen to the first book. Don't worry about the other two. The first will give enough context and answer all the questions you had watching this.
Honestly a lot of the questions they ask ARE answered in the film, you just gotta pay attention to context clues and dialogue. It’s a show don’t tell movie they’re not gonna spoon feed you every piece of information
also i’m obsessed with the “love” story between cato and the knife girl. apparently in the books after she dies screaming his name he runs over and sobs/whatever bc she died. that’s one reason why he was so upset in the last scene
So, 12 is so, so poor because it's the farthest district from the capital, not only is the population extremely poor, but so are the soldiers. once the barrier to the forest broke down, the "soldiers" did nothing about it because they also bought the animals that Katniss hunted. everyone in 12 is poor. oh, another fun little piece of information: in the first book, because they know how to hunt, katniss's family is one of those that currently aren't in that much need.... so I imagine that even that bucket is something that most people don't have access. alsooo, in the books she gets that pinn in a different way
Read the books. They are really good. No questions unanswered. The flea market lady looked sad and uncomfortable and gave Katniss the pin bc she felt sorry for her bc of the coming reaping.
The reason Katniss knows what nightlock is is because it grew in district 12 and she was a hunter, also it was a very rare berry so not a lot of people in 12 knew about the plant also Peter mostly stayed in the bakery so he didn’t know about it, also I hate the fact that they killed off the one girl that knows like every fucking plant to a damn berry like come on just let Peter or Katniss kill not her die to a plant now some people thinks she killed her self because she know she wasn’t going to win or something like that and I would believe that but what I don’t get is that Peter said she was following him why would she follow him if she was just going to kill herself.
When I was younger and reading the books Cato was my favorite by far, I always liked the bad boys and I remember being pissed he got killed off😅 I admit Cato deserved more screen time because it shortened his part of the book in the film and left out smaller details and interactions, however I guess I’m glad he went quick in the film and not as dragged out and painful as he died in the book💀 Cato can get overlooked but he was the character that showed how unjust their world was. That even the people who were Katniss’s enemy in the games that were cruel “killers” were the same as her. All were young and fighting to survive and that’s why Cato’s death was necessary (unfortunately😭)
To be fair in the book he was a lot less sympathetic. In the book Katniss genuinely hates him. He represents everything she hates about careers, and she actually thinks he’s mentally unstable with how he reacts to things. In the finale he didn’t have his big speech either and thought still had a way to win.
the government (capital) is fucked lol, to put it in the most simplest way. the next 3 films basically just go into depth about it more with the government and how even if you win you are a slave to the capital. aka what cato said "im already dead" it literally makes no sense to win the games & live, when you come out u wished you died in them
Peeta got strong baking by hauling around 100lb bags of flour all the time 😂 and if you all think blood on your clothes turns them pink, talk to any female ever. It goes dark nasty brown 😅 P.S.- these are clearly water shots, lol. 16 in by the first few minutes of the game, not one grimace, no slurred speech or signs of alcohol taking effect when you should be vomiting and having alcohol poisoning by that point...
they were drinking sake, not hard liquor. but even completely sober, they seem to lack in intellectual effort or critical thinking with most of their takes. Nick is def the stronger thinker, and he struggles a ton himself. they are incredibly charming and funny as hell though. lols!
Omg I have been waiting for this day!!! Love the reaction ❤ Also if I remove correctly the dog things at the end looked like the dead tributes in the book just to add another level of trauma
Yea they should’ve shown more significance to the bread scene cause he gets yelled at by his mom for burning bread so she tells him to give it to the pigs which he clearly tosses to katniss instead which he’d obviously get in trouble for and even tho it landed in the mud it’s the thought that counts. I doubt she’d eat it anyway since they’re hungry all the time
Agreed literally the worst TH-camrs I’ve ever come across. It’s like they, but especially the white hat guy, try so hard to be funny. There’s nothing wrong with comedy TH-camrs, but then don’t make reaction content it literally defeats the purpose. So annoying that they missed everything in the movie because he couldn’t stop talking and making bad jokes. At least be funny if you must talk through the entire thing

He’s more like a friend to her and in the end, after the games, they actually have an argument about it, because Peeta realizes that her feelings weren’t what he thought the were and it hurt him.
"That dog has human teeth" 👀👀👀.... who's gonna tell them how fucked up that was in the books....?
In the book, the beasts that attack them and shred Cato are called Muttations, or simply mutts, and each one resembled a fallen tribute, being created with their DNA, wearing a collar marked with the district numbers. Peeta finds an uncanny resemblance of the mutts eyes compared to the tribute‘s, so much he wonders if the Capitol used their real eyes. Katniss is able to recognize five tributes. There is one described as the smallest with a curly dark brown coat. Rue. The girl that got stung to death was Glimmer and one beast wore a bejeweled collar, had blonde fur and emerald eyes. One of the beasts is described to jump higher than the others and also the biggest. Thresh, the boy who saved Katniss from the knife throwing girl. One mutt was small, had fire-red fur and amber eyes, resembling Foxface, the girl that ate the berries. The fifth one is the boy from District 9.
Also, in the book, Katniss questions Foxface‘s death, as she had shown extensive knowledge about plants and berries during training, so it would be unlikely she didn’t know about a highly lethal berry. Katniss mentions that she looked emaciated and would’ve sooner or later died from starvation. So, she believes the girl killed herself.
16:41 she’s angry bc she doesn’t believe he’s being genuine. She’s suspicious of him. There’s only meant to be one winner. Meaning she believes everything he says is a carefully planned strategy to benefit him and possibly hurt her. She thinks he made her look silly with the “crush” admission. When she doesn’t understand people’s motivation she jumps to anger. Katniss is not a well adjusted individual. She’s a traumatized teenager
I really wish they made it more clear that Katniss has a lot of pent up rage due to losing her father, resentment of the Capitol, and being forced to fill both parental roles due to her mother’s depression. The way they filmed it made it seem like her anger towards Peeta came from nowhere.
At the end when Cato is talking about how he's 'dead already' it's basically because through the games and after his girlfriend got killed he realises hes been raised and trained for these games since he was a child and was basically being raised like a pig for slaughter and was sold lies his entire life. The book def goes into more detail about the other tributes and their back stories that only get touched on in the film - like explaining why certain tributes are more willing to kill than others and stuff but i think the contrast between this movie where they are mostly inexperienced children competing versus the rest of the films is really interesting. Hope you react to catching fire next its probably the best of the series !
Also the fact that the muts at the end are the other tributes
Who is catos girlfriend
@@elinedefauxomg how do you know
Clove wasn't Cato's girlfriend, just his District partner. After the announcement of the rule change, Cato and Clove were another pair from the same district who were both still alive, so obviously they hoped both of them had a shot of winning.
@@virsaviat2325 glimmer might have been, and clove might have been aswell following the rule change (in the book cato runs over to clove and starts crying for her, in the movie it just looks like glimmer and cato were together)
Y’all missed the part where katniss said Peeta could lift hundred pound bags of flour over his head. Also kneeding bread works your muscles in the same way working out would. That’s why peeta is strong
to answer your question about volunteering - one person can volunteer for another, but they have to also be within the ages of 12-18 and the same gender as the person they volunteer for. so, katniss can volunteer for prim, but gale couldn’t (because he's not a girl) and katniss's mom couldn’t (because she's too old). also, only one person can volunteer per category - so, someone couldn't volunteer after katniss and take her place. some richer districts win pretty much every year, so they always have volunteers, and it's seen as an honor. but katniss is the first volunteer for her district, because they almost never have winners so it's basically a death sentence. hope this made sense!!
not me screaming all the answers to cory’s questions at the screen 😭😭 some of them are only answered in the books but a lot of them can either be picked up by context clues or simply by paying attention. Which i get isn’t really 100% possible when drunk which is fine. For example katniss knowing what nightlock looks like is better explained in the books, but it’s still pretty easy to figure out in the movie, like Nick did. Peeta’s strength is also better explained in the books, but the movie answers that question too by telling us he’s a baker and by katniss telling us she saw him throw bags of flour over his head. Bakers are hella strong, it’s not an easy job.
Somebody needs to cast Nick as a romantic lead. He would have the Netflix audience in a chokehold
13:29 did they just miss when they were talking about skills at dinner and Katniss said she’d seen peers throw heavy flour bags straight over his head
12:11 he burned the bread on purpose just to give it to her instead of the pigs. He also got beat by his mother for that.
Regarding the books:
Yes of course there's a lot more depth in the books and I think that especially the third one is way more emotional in the book version. However, I think the Hunger Games is one of the best book adaptations out there.
16:41 The reason why Katniss reacts like this is because she thinks that Peeta admitting he liked her was just a manipulative tactic only for sponsors, and because she thinks it makes her look like a lovestruck fool, the type of girl she looks down on.
whats crazy is in the books the mutts were modeled after the fallen tributes. They all had collars with the name of a fallen tribute. Katniss even questioned if thats where their bodies went.
I'm guessing Rue (in a way) reminded Katniss of her little sister, which was probably why she was crying over Rue's death.
yeah, in the book she continuously talks about how similar Rue is to her sister and how she wishes that Prim could’ve met her
Katniss is 16... Also, District 12 are coal miners mostly, so that might be why they're so dirty...
Why don’t they just get clean? he says…….
@@skyt3265ead the book and look up coal miners……..
@@skyt3265it’s probably pointless after a while and they’re poor and don’t have much water or soap I assume
yeah…… my comment went over your heads. i’ve read the books many times
To anyone still confused as why Peeta is strong. He used to do the actual heavy lifting on the bakery so he became really strong from like, carrying bags of flour. Also, he is know for being able to "take a hit" because he suffered physically abuse growing up
Clove was psycho. She could have killed Katniss painlessly, quickly, but wanted to make a spectacle of her death instead. She wanted to give the cameras a show and enjoy killing as well. That's what the second knife was for. Torture
I don’t feel like they explain why Peeta tossing Katniss the bread is so significant in the movie. The whole of District 12 is starving, and Peeta would have gotten in trouble and taken a beating from his Mum just by giving Katniss that food. Katniss learned to hunt with the bow and arrow in order to feed her family… she might have starved to death if Peeta hadn’t given her that bread
Peeta is strong because he would lift heavy sacks of flour, for the pastries.
Guys this is absolute confirmation that you have No idea what it’s like to work in a bakery or make bread from scratch.
I triple dog dare you to make 2 loafs of just plain bread and film it.
Then I want you to imagine doing that process with many variations depending on what bread you are making and how much of said bread you need.
Every day beginning at 4:00am in the morning. Then lift 50-100lb weights 10x for conservatively 5 sets. And also expect to work 14hours a day.
Normal day for a baker.
•prep
•mix/kneading
•proofing
•baking
•cooling racks
•packaging
Working at a bakery is not for the faint of heart.
I lasted 2 months cause fuck that.
😉Oh and cake decorating is an art form that takes hella skill to master.
I swear whenever they miss the point of smth important my nerd just wants to die☠️
PLEASE continue with this series, it's such a great story, and catching fire is honestly so much better than the first movie
They can’t take any of these seriously no matter how good they are. They are BEYOND annoying. I’d like to see them watch it without a camera in front of them so we maybe just maybe get a genuine reaction instead of trying to be entertaining
Dear god no he was fucking annoying and didn’t even pay attention
“the birds in the trees would be robots” well in the books the old mutated ones called jabberjays could actually record conversations and were spyware for the capitol until the district rebels figured it out and started sending false information, these birds mated with mockingbirds which created the mockingjays that copy song😭also the books were way more detailed and the games actually lasted a lot longer in the books than perceived in the movies, their parents were also a lot more explained in the books and how bad they were
Cory said he wants to watch a Hunger Games where they are all on juice. WATCH THE STARVING GAMES. Its a hilarious parody.
PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU. that would be hilarious
And then read Harvard Lampoon's "Hunger Pains"
haha that was hilarious
The Hunger Games is used as only one thing: punishment. In the Capital minds, the districts had the audacity of fighting them and almost destroying Panem, so the punishment was showing that the Capital had the power of taking the districs' kids from their safity and slaghter them. It's a show of power, to show that the Capital is so strong that no one can stop them from killing children and that the districs should even dare to rebel again
The district that are trained always volunteer it’s basically the best they go to school and it’s whoever is most likely to win. District 12 is one of the poorest so they have never volunteered. They have only had 2 winner out of 73 games
Not them thinking being a baker doesn't require strength😂. You basically knead and carry heavy ingredients most of the time so Peeta being strong is very logical.
Honestly, these movies are fire. I don't know why they get grouped with the YA romance movies of the same time that get hated on. The primary story here is not a romance and the acting and plot is legitimately fantastic.
Honestly, the mockingjay pin being cursed is a pretty solid theory
Y’all don’t shit on peta. If you’re kneading bread 24/7 and taking care of FARM animals like you’re gonna get some kind of muscles outta that. It’s giving jealousssss🤭
trust me youll get strong af working in a bakery, the dough is heavy and kneeding it is a workout lmao
If you guys like this kind of genre of movies, then you should react to the Maze Runner trilogy next! It has a very similar vibe to the Hunger Games, especially since it’s another YA dystopian movie.
These questions make me want to scream read the book lol 😆
yeah painful af lol
Gladiators + Project Runway is literally it. Then later in the franchise it becomes like V for Vendetta + Project Runway. I think more movies need that Project Runway element to be honest.
In the books, we are also made aware that peta was on the wrestling team at the school and If i remember correctly was one of the best. He is just very strong. He is also just a very talented painter. I watched the movies before reading the books and after I read the books the first movie really annoys me because they left out such important details. They also totally make the pin seem cursed whereas in the book, the pin is gifted to Katness after she volunteers for prim
cory not understanding anything of the film for 37 minutes straight
It’s like he watched with his eyes closed
He's like me. I'm also a moron like him
Since they asked, the main characters are Can’t Miss, Pita Bread, and Generic Male (aka G-ale).
when cory said they got human teeth, they do. the dogs are made of the dead kids body parts
Not their body parts, but their DNA. Mutts are genetically modified chimeras, not reanimated corpses.
The message of selecting youngs "we can take your kids and you can't do anything"
I think that you guys will really like the new movie when it comes out in November, it’s a prequel to the tenth hunger games (60-ish years before this) so there’s not as much technology or interference from the capitol, the games part of the book is much more reliant on just the tributes but it’s the first time sponsors can send food and first time they get mentors
The amount of times I was itching to answer their Hunger Games questions is crazy.
I LOVE these movies and books. I did read the books before I watched the movies and there is obviously a lot more context in the books but this is overall one of the best book-to-movie adaptations! especially the second book/movie Catching Fire!
36:17 Yeah, it really was way too easy. That is why at the end of the movie President Snow kills the head gamemaker who allowed this - Seneca.
The idea about the cursed mockingjay pin actually kinda does make sense if you consider the info given in the books that that pin originally belonged to a girl who died in the Hunger Games herself as a child. However of course in the books Katniss only received it after she volunteered for Prim as a token from Home from the girls niece.
I’m sorry but y’all had me so irritated by the cluelessness lol
same here and how they missed context clues.
Literally Cory did not pay attention to anything or comprehend one thing that happened
Okay so here comes all the explainations
1)The age difference is supposed to be that way, the games not being fair is the point, its not just entertainment for the rich, its a warning for every district to stay on their lane and obey, its the capitol saying "We own you, and your kid´s lives are on our hands, we can take it all away as we please.
2)They dress like that because colored fabrics are expensive, same as in the older days, colored clothing is a luxury.
3)Only the people between 12 to 18 can volunteer, a parent wouldnt be able to volunteer even if they wanted to
4)Peeta is that strong because he was the one who moved all the ingredients at the bakery, think like, lifting heavy bags of hundeds of punds of flour every day. And he is actually an artist, but he could only practice on cakes because paint is too expensive to waste just for a hobby. He purposefully burned the bread to give it to Katniss who was starving after her father died and she was the only one supporting her family, that moment is what gave her hope and pushed her to learn how to hunt and basically saved her and her family
5)They see the faces of the deceased to know who they are still fighting agains and who they dont have to worry about anymore
Wait till you see the new hunger games movie coming later this year. The girl wears a rainbow dress instead of monotone. It’s funny bc it’s from the past and like fifty years before katniss was born
the first movie IS TOO FUCKING GOOD. they made such a huge mistake not keeping the same director
Cory is that friend who picks on everything while watching a movie huh😂
one of my comfort series and comfort youtubers!! i got so excited when i seen this post show up, pls do the other 3 movies!! also katniss is 16 in this movie. ive been hearing a lot about the concentration camps lately, mainly for school, but in the media too..
The fact that bakers are some of the strongest people especially in this story cause Katniss said she’s seen him easily lift hundred pound sacks of flour and carry them on his shoulders
I’m sure it’s already been commented but with the bread scene Katniss had been actually starving almost to the point of death so Peeta purposefully burnt bread so his mom would tell him to throw it out and he could give it to her. It was only burnt on one side anyway
also peeta used to throw sacks of flour at the bakery thats how he got strong
A lot of stuff got left from the books because so much of it was Katniss's perspective and her inner dialogues, and that's really hard to be translated into movies. District 12 has a school, the dogs were actually humanoid animal-people made to look like the other tributes, and the Game Makers would step in when they thought things were getting "too boring". Katniss saves Peeta because she feels like he owes him for the bread; they were only 11 in the books and Katniss and her family were on the verge of dying from starvation, and she wanted to make the Capitol and Game Makers look like idiots who couldn't control their tributes or the districts.
Please read/listen to the first book. Don't worry about the other two. The first will give enough context and answer all the questions you had watching this.
Honestly a lot of the questions they ask ARE answered in the film, you just gotta pay attention to context clues and dialogue. It’s a show don’t tell movie they’re not gonna spoon feed you every piece of information
also i’m obsessed with the “love” story between cato and the knife girl. apparently in the books after she dies screaming his name he runs over and sobs/whatever bc she died. that’s one reason why he was so upset in the last scene
“Imagine there are random landlines around them.”
Lmao. There are! 😂
40 seconds in and there’s already gale slander… we’re off to a great start
FUN FACT: reaping day is canonically July 4th
10 shots before the games even start y’all got me yelling “SLOW DOWN!” 😂
So, 12 is so, so poor because it's the farthest district from the capital, not only is the population extremely poor, but so are the soldiers. once the barrier to the forest broke down, the "soldiers" did nothing about it because they also bought the animals that Katniss hunted. everyone in 12 is poor. oh, another fun little piece of information: in the first book, because they know how to hunt, katniss's family is one of those that currently aren't in that much need.... so I imagine that even that bucket is something that most people don't have access. alsooo, in the books she gets that pinn in a different way
“I was a Starbucks at barista” 13:37
Read the books. They are really good. No questions unanswered. The flea market lady looked sad and uncomfortable and gave Katniss the pin bc she felt sorry for her bc of the coming reaping.
The reason Katniss knows what nightlock is is because it grew in district 12 and she was a hunter, also it was a very rare berry so not a lot of people in 12 knew about the plant also Peter mostly stayed in the bakery so he didn’t know about it, also I hate the fact that they killed off the one girl that knows like every fucking plant to a damn berry like come on just let Peter or Katniss kill not her die to a plant now some people thinks she killed her self because she know she wasn’t going to win or something like that and I would believe that but what I don’t get is that Peter said she was following him why would she follow him if she was just going to kill herself.
13:34 “i’m a starbucks at barista” LMAOO the way no one caught that
Yesss do the rest of the hunger games movies too!
anyone else think nick lowkey looks & sounds like kevin from shameless?
When I was younger and reading the books Cato was my favorite by far, I always liked the bad boys and I remember being pissed he got killed off😅 I admit Cato deserved more screen time because it shortened his part of the book in the film and left out smaller details and interactions, however I guess I’m glad he went quick in the film and not as dragged out and painful as he died in the book💀 Cato can get overlooked but he was the character that showed how unjust their world was. That even the people who were Katniss’s enemy in the games that were cruel “killers” were the same as her. All were young and fighting to survive and that’s why Cato’s death was necessary (unfortunately😭)
To be fair in the book he was a lot less sympathetic. In the book Katniss genuinely hates him. He represents everything she hates about careers, and she actually thinks he’s mentally unstable with how he reacts to things. In the finale he didn’t have his big speech either and thought still had a way to win.
the government (capital) is fucked lol, to put it in the most simplest way. the next 3 films basically just go into depth about it more with the government and how even if you win you are a slave to the capital. aka what cato said "im already dead" it literally makes no sense to win the games & live, when you come out u wished you died in them
The reaction I didn't know I needed
Exactly 😂😂😂
I am now so on board with the cursed pin theory
nick looks so good lately
I, too, am a Starbucks at Barista 😏
"There'd be cameras everywhere"
You're not gonna believe what I'm gonna tell you lmao
can i just say, nick's hair has never looked better
Peeta got strong baking by hauling around 100lb bags of flour all the time 😂 and if you all think blood on your clothes turns them pink, talk to any female ever. It goes dark nasty brown 😅
P.S.- these are clearly water shots, lol. 16 in by the first few minutes of the game, not one grimace, no slurred speech or signs of alcohol taking effect when you should be vomiting and having alcohol poisoning by that point...
they were drinking sake, not hard liquor. but even completely sober, they seem to lack in intellectual effort or critical thinking with most of their takes. Nick is def the stronger thinker, and he struggles a ton himself. they are incredibly charming and funny as hell though. lols!
Omg I have been waiting for this day!!! Love the reaction ❤
Also if I remove correctly the dog things at the end looked like the dead tributes in the book just to add another level of trauma
Yup. They had the dead tributes eyes.
Peta got strong from carrying big sacks of flour.
Please please please do another one!!!! Love you guys
Yea they should’ve shown more significance to the bread scene cause he gets yelled at by his mom for burning bread so she tells him to give it to the pigs which he clearly tosses to katniss instead which he’d obviously get in trouble for and even tho it landed in the mud it’s the thought that counts. I doubt she’d eat it anyway since they’re hungry all the time
The sence with the wasps is like even worse in the books. Cause it like says that Katniss sees the flesh of the bones of Glimmer melt off
istg there has to be water in that liquor bottle because no WAY can these guys drink over 22 freaking shots and and not be seizing 💀
Fr alcohol poison amounts and they aren’t even slurring
this was corey asking stupid questions and nick answering half screaming cause he GOT the movie lmao
I could just watch Cory all day
Catching Fire next for sure!
13:35 “well you see I’m a Starbucks at barista”
NO NEED TO LOOK! JUST CLICK!! Can't wait for this tbh. Love you guys ❤❤
"it's like a battle royale before battle royales" - members of the jury, may i present to you exhibit A - "Battle royale" (2000)
Should definitely have titled this "POV: you win the lottery, but winning means you die"
omg one of the worst reactions i’ve ever watched. haha. listening to white hat is painful
Absolutely agreed! Dude wearing black was annoying asf
Agreed literally the worst TH-camrs I’ve ever come across. It’s like they, but especially the white hat guy, try so hard to be funny. There’s nothing wrong with comedy TH-camrs, but then don’t make reaction content it literally defeats the purpose. So annoying that they missed everything in the movie because he couldn’t stop talking and making bad jokes. At least be funny if you must talk through the entire thing
