Marvel’s scene was so sad. Just hearing him talking about how he enjoyed watching the games as a kid really goes to show how much the careers were brainwashed by the capitol, especially knowing they had no idea what they were doing to themselves when they volunteered.
Especially because they possibly saw many of their friends or even siblings or cousins get killed. After all, even when district 1, 2 or 4 get a new winner, five other careers have to die anyway for him/her to be there

You know the scene of Caesar commenting on Glimmers dress becomes a lot more sinister when you remember what happened to Finnick after he won his games. What Caesar was doing there was more than a creepy joke, he’s basically incentivizing people to BUY Glimmer, a 17 year old. If not planning to buy her himself.
Yes, but it kinda was his job as well, Glimmer's best ability was her charisma and attractiveness. She knew that, he knew that. That was her best shot at winning, gaining sponsors (being creeped upon). Caeser's job was to "sell" (oh the irony) the tributes to the sponsors.
Also, in the book her dress was a golden gown that came down to her feet made with a see-through fabric, made porpusly to show her body and beauty even more. Capitol loves beauty and grace, so the more beautiful the tribute is, the more she/he could get sponsors during the game. It's awful, but how could it not be in a competition were 24 young people are exposed like animals and then kill each other until 23 die, each year?
This!! She was using her beauty to her advantage, like her cuddling up to Cato it the forest (wouldn’t she want Marvel?)

This perfectly shows a difference between the career tributes from District 1 vs 2. Glimmer and Marvel are all shiny and smiley, very charismatic, really trying to be likeable, perfect representatives for the "Luxury"-district. Clove and Cato are just down-right self-assured and arrogant, not giving a single f*ck about people's opinions cause they think they are immortal.
It really carries through in Catching Fire too. Cashmere and Gloss from District 1 are glamourous and smiley during reaping while Brutus and Enobaria from District 2 are screaming victory and bloody murder.

I agree. In the line, the tributes seemed chilled out and they didn't even realise that not long after they would have to fight to the death with an 80% probability of death. Its just sad.
Quite the opposite, children from career districts were often brought up to believe that participanting in the Games was something to strive for and to take pride in because once you'd win, you'd not only become famous, but you'd also not have to work a day in your life because the winner always gets a nice house in the victors' village and a monthly income that guarantees a comfortable living for the rest of their life. Cato even mentioned it in his monologue before Katniss killed him - he was raised to be a killing machine and to believe that winning the Hunger Games was his only goal in life.
i always loved the doublesidedness of the interviews because as much as Caesar is 100% part of the problem (and lowkey creepy sometimes), he really is in his own way trying to help these kids survive within the confines of this messed up system. i never cease to be amazed by how complex the hunger games characters and situations are
I feel like in the books it shows him trying to help the tributes better, like he did for Rue. The whole thing eith Glimmer never happened, and in Katniss's final interview he vovered for her when she couldn't answer the question of when she started loving Peeta. I feel like the movie changed things to show how crappy the capital is. Since they dont have Katniss's internal monologues to discuss it, they have to show it visably. The only ordinary capital citizens we really get to know in the movie are Cinna, Effie, and Caesar, so atleast one of them has to represent the general crappieness of the capital.

When I first watched the Hunger Games then read it, my favourite part was immediately how every character seemed to have a deep and complex personality just like people.
@@hehhehhehheh-wn7zzshe was more surprised that a tribute that came from a supposedly career district was killed during the first bloodbath. But in the book it was not specified he was 12 like Rue. I think Katniss focused more on Rue because she reminded her of Prim and because she liked her from the start
One thing I love is that you can see each of their strategies going into the interviews. The careers are playing it up like they're already celebrities or star athletes, Foxface is appealing to the intellectual underdog story, and Rue is using her innocence and youth to make people pity her and want her to survive.
It’s really interesting see how Foxface is true to herself but clearly scared and anxious the whole time they’re getting prepared for the hunger games. You can even see her searching the audiences faces during her speech in hopes that what shes saying is interesting and able to at least get some sponsors, but mostly she just seems scared and very disgusted with the audience despite being arguably the smartest person there.
As unnecessary as the scene itself is (since we already know Clove is a talented knife thrower), I seriously admire Isabelle Fuhrman for portraying Clove's confidence so perfectly. While some of the other career interviews seem a bit forced (which makes sense considering they (the careers) were brainwashed into this), you can just hear how self-assured Clove is in her abilities
In the movie itself, I could notice Marvel do this little shift with a somewhat angry look on his face. It looks like deep down, he’s really not happy to be there and his real feelings about all of it were creeping up, and he just forced them back down again.
To be honest, I always thought she was the most dangerous among the careers. Not that the others are not mind you, and I am aware that Cato is physically stronger, but she is clever, ruthless, has a perfecr aim and i think she is more inclined to have at least a rudimental strategy to go by.
@andreagrussu6778 I agree with that except for the perfect aim I would say she had near perfect aim I mean she failed to hit katniss 3 times 1st at the bloodbath 2nd and 3rd at the feast I mean she even pinned her to the ground and still couldn't hit her,though that 2nd was a close call
@@andreagrussu6778 i agree, i feel like she was one of the toughest and strongest opponent. Her fierce looking and how confident she was with her skills made her look scary and dangerous. Not gonna mention i still have creepy impression about her since she played as esther in orphan lol
And you can the agreement on Cato's face and a sadistic smirk on Clove when Marvel says it. They comoletely agree. Meanwhile, the other non-Career tributes are fearful, disturbed, and disgusted, particularly Katniss and Rue.
@@RapidObsessor its called a game to make it more palatable to capitol citizens, but its entirely different for the people who fall victim to the hunger games to see it as noble and celebrate it
That’s appropriate since the games are a metaphor for toxic capitalism and school is toxic capitalist training. school is essentially training you to survive a a capitalist society, that many won’t survive. and in real life your best shot of survival is to talk about how you love it, how you love the system of capitalism, how you just gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps and focus and try hard and if you just do that, you can have anything. You know it’s not true. but it’s what you have to say to win.
I feel like if I was the director I would’ve kept the interviews from Foxface, Rue, Cato, and Marvel because they all add a lot of character development. Foxface’s quote about a brain being stronger than weapons is straight facts and it should’ve stayed in the final cut 😂.
I personally would have kept Glimmer’s, it shows how even though she wasn’t that good with the bow, she was AMAZING with the audience, it’s what makes a career. Fox face wouldn’t really work mostly because she said “they call me fox face” but Katniss came up with that nickname herself. Although I like her brain quote. I like rue’s and clove’s.
I understand why this scene was cut down, but really was a great way to show the sadistic nature of the games and how the tributes try to get sponsors. Apparently all the extra tributes weren’t there to shoot this lol
@@rourkewhite4858my fun little non canon theory is they simply weren’t ready or had to get their outfits some last minute adjustments. we do see Johanna backstage well after her interview in the 2nd movie when she should be on the stage with the rest of the other tributes who’ve already gone
Knowing how the capital exploits and tortures the victors after they leave the arena, it makes my stomach churn thinking about what they would’ve done to Rue had she survived.
You can also tell that they were already planning on doing that with Glimmer if she won because she was playing up the "cute, sexy" angle for her interview and while it doesn't show here, in the book her interview dress was almost see through to give the sick Capitol citizens a full view of her body
Yeah I just read the book for the first time and I now have newfound empathy for Glimmer. She was only 17. Also the way Ceaser interacted with her in this deleted scene; gross. @@oncerand_directioner
Very small pickup but when Marvel is talking and he mentions his dad being a hunter and always wanting to volunteer, the camera focuses on Rue. And then when Caesar tells him good luck it focuses on Katniss. Just a bit of foreshadowing of his ultimate fate. Oh and at another point where he’s talking it focuses on a girl we see him spear during the bloodbath but that’s neither here nor there.
For anyone wondering why there’s less tributes interviewing vs competing, if they were too emotional or too uncooperative to do an interview, then their design team/mentor wouldn’t send them out there.
I feel like the director did a bad job of the 1st movie but if the director from the 2nd/3rd and 4th movies did direct the first it would have been way better and they would have included something like that in there.
unfortunately, something that happens a lot in the editing room in “worldbuilding” scenes being the first to go. especially if the movie is in danger of going over its run time
the tribute at 1:57 is drop-dead GORGEOUS and even though she doesn’t have any lines, she has such a cool aura like i wish she was given a backstory and screentime
for anybody else curious, she’s the district four female tribute! in the books, she a career and dies moments after glimmer from the tracker jackers. her actress, stunt performer tara macken, confirmed her name is marina. considering she was a career, and had this confident and cold aura about her, i feel it was wasted opportunity to explore her and district four; considering district four often fluctuates between tributes being careers or not.
Rue always reminds me so much of my niece, especially her mannerisms. it breaks my heart even more now to see this and know my little Squish is almost that age. I also love how Caesar agrees with Foxgace over her comment on brains being better than weapons.
After seeing this, I can kinda see now why Glimmer was considered the weakest out of the Career Pack. Marvel, Clove,& Cato were literally killing machines waiting with anticipation to be put in the games, while Glimmer was more of a pretty face.
Maybe she was deadly, she probably put on an act to look pretty and use her looks to her advantages and when it comes down to it, she’ll show her brutal side
@@riyapatel6291the fatal flaw of careers were arrogance and because the careers felt bold since they were trained, they didnt probably care they were incompetent with a certain weapon under the assumption that the other tributes would be just as worse due to a lack of resources like the careers had. It was glimmer's fatal flaw, she used a bow and arrow knowing it wasnt the right fit for her
After watching all these, it's easy to see why so many people were rooting for Katniss. She wasn't interested in victory or glory. She just wanted to protect her sister.
They should’ve kept this part in. Considering we know what often times happens to past victors, the way that Caesar wanted to touch Glimmer and someone whistling from the crowd at her, she would’ve suffered the same fate as Finnick if she had been named victor. Then also seeing that line up and seeing that rue wasn’t the only kid picked was also sad. Then looking at the audience faces of discomfort and sorrow when hearing 12 year old Rue answer her questions. I know this films target audience was older kids and teens and this would be considered too dark but this should’ve been kept in the film.
Fox Face was always my favorite. I don't know why. I suspect she got a low score to get the others to forget about her, but indeed did have a great strength in her intelligence. She lasted longer than most. She's seen studying during the training, so she most likely knew what she was doing when she ate the berries. Makes me wonder what would have happened if she hadn't.
If you read the books rue was the oldest of 6 and protective of her siblings and i think she was the one to provide for her family 💔 i still can never get over rue's death. Rue and joanna deserved so much. Never a dry eye in her desth scene.
@@alternateendingsandedits6854 Glimmer is 17. And even if she was 18 it's inappropriate for a 50+ year old man to be joking about touching her ass. Seriously, what is wrong with people and "if they're 18 then they can't possibly be groomed and it's totally ok for grown-ass adults to sleep with them!"
@@fabplays6559 1. it’s more district one (her district) that grooms children since they choose their most attractive tributes to volunteer for the purpose of being sexually appealing to the Capitol. The other career districts 2 & 4 choose their strongest / most capable young people to be tributes. 2. In the movie maybe but in the book it is stated that all the career tributes are 18 so I was referring to that having glimmer be 17 and clove 15 in the movie directly goes against the book canon. 3. A 18 year old is an adult under the law and can legally consent to sex with any person of legal age at least irl so if she was 18 (like in the books) then she can legally have sex with Caesar or snow or any guy in the Capitol because it’s her body her choice she can do what she wants to! That is what I was referring to that it’s ok if she’s 18 and consenting to the flirting / touching. However if she didn’t consent than that’s a different story she seems to be happy about portraying herself that way (wether this is brain washing I’m not sure). Consent is the key here if there is consent than if fine 4. An extra point since you brought up her age in the movie, I think the age of consent in panem is 16! Finnick one at age 14 and was popular with the women of the capitol but he didn’t get made to go on dates to them (basically forced prostitution poor guy) until he turned 16. I think that if tributes aren’t aloud to be bought by Capitol citizens until age 16 and the fact that they can be bought at age 16/17 tells me that like Canada and my country Australia 16 is the legal age. If this is the case then as long as there is consent (which there isn’t in the case of Finnick and I think cashmere which is what makes it the crime of forced prostitution and rape) it is again fine for glimmer who is 17 to be with who she wants to as long as they are 16 or older. 16 year olds can sleep with grown adults over here and in panem apparently. Again there should always be consent when there isn’t (like in Finnick case) that is when there is a problem.
@@fabplays6559Um no, if she’s 18 it’s perfectly fine. If she’s 17, and the age of consent is 16 it’s equally fine. I think the truly inappropriate thing here isn’t his innocent misunderstanding but that the government is killing kids. That’s the bad thing. If they’re 18 they can’t be groomed BECAUSE THEY ARE A GROWN ASS ADULT!
@@tylerwillem8683they are clearly putting on an act because you can see them cringe while watching other tributes being interviewed. At the very least they don't like the show aspect of the games.
@@alceushunterxhe basically worshipped the Capitol like it was a God, and they cheered for his death. The book death was absolutely horrific, and the Capitol loved every minute of it 😟
For people who dont understand why its deleted the scene where the tributes are standing in a file line the tributes are all over the place No District 10 tributes and 9 and 8 Female
I like how they all seem like realistic kids but they all have a certain strategy. Glimmer plays up sex appeal and at least pretends shes comfortable with being sexualized. Marvel claims hes wanted to do it since he was a child and plays it up as an amazing opportunity anyone can do if they belive in themselves. Clove is confident and fiesty playing up her talents and reasons shes a good fit. Cato also claims it was a childhood dream, a super awesome opportunity and the games were amazing and he was excited about them. Just what the career tributes were supposed to say. Foxface is reserved but sells the underdog story by stating her intelligence as a weapon and a alternative to career victors. Rue was adorable and innocent highlighting how horrific it really was
They should have left all these parts in, it gives more dimension and backstory to each of the tributes, thus making their fates in the games all the more theatrical and emotional. Edit: And some people didn’t read the books, so it would have been nice for them to learn more about the tributes. I read them of course, so I knew a little more about each other them than the movie gives you.
1:49 they should’ve at least kept that shot in the movie. It wasn’t long, and it gave you an idea of who these kids are and how fucked this situation is
I think if it wasn’t for Peeta marvel would have the best interview as he shows charisma shows that in his mind he was following his dream to compete in the games.
Yeah I think it makes sense too, district 2 as a career district is the most brutal. But district 1 being more about luxury their strength would be presentation
If Rue won: Marvel was aimed towards Katniss. If he actually impaled her and she still shot him before, Rue could run away, hiding in the trees most of the time. Slowly coming out to collect berries and water, then going back to the trees. Later when there’s a fight happening between the last two, she could create a slingshot. Once the last person is looking for her, she can shoot them in the back of their head/neck. That could easily knock them out or kill them.
That's the way it is in all of the scenes with the tributes... Idk why they didn't have all 24 actors/actresses present. Why would you hire 24 people to play the tributes and not put them in scenes like this ...
Rue and district 4 male males my so sad because there only 12 and none of them were even ready to volunteer and they were cute and there deaths are sad but fast.
@@shhhh336lol you disproved yourself.. In this scenario it is the smart man that made the nuke, and the strong man with his weapons has no power against it
There's actually a theory that she ate the berries on purpose! The theory is knew she wasn't going to win, and she chose to go out quickly and painlessly, rather than having someone else kill her.
@@ExplicittLemons and that if she killed herself in an obvious way, the capitol would probably kill her family. But if she made it seem like she didn't know the berries are lethal, her family wouldn't be punished
@@ExplicittLemons i read that someone said that the berries only come from district 12. She saw peeta getting the berries so assumed they were edible. Peeta was then stopped by katniss
Whats sad is because some of these people in these interviews openly showed no remorse in wanting to kill other human beings when it comes down to it not being self defense , if i were in the games i would be soo scared .
It's ironic, Cato's view on volunteering for the hunger games. "Not volunteering makes you an idiot" but If the shoe were on the other foot you know no one from the capital would ever volunteer. It truly is fascinating when you sit back and really think about the propaganda and brainwashing that took place between the 10th and the 75th Hunger Games
Rye’s sweet little face emotionally destroys me to this day… she was like a little fairy, put on this earth to be gentle and kind, and loved her family so fiercely. Her character serves as an example that in a capitalist, fascist society… even the most gentle and kind souls are made into victims. They couldn’t possibly have casted a better actress to play Rue, because just one glance at her sweet face makes anyone want to take a bullet for her!
i hate to say this cause it just feeds into the “turning women against each other troupe” but there is no way those two liked each other and only kept each other alive cause of being careers
@@oliviagames777 i read a fanfic YEARS ago i wish i could find it but it was the hunger games in clove and cato’s POV and i’m pretty sure the author had it to where clove and glimmer didn’t like each other
I'm actually amazed the Capitol had the self-restraint to wait until Finnick turned 16 (ew) before forcing him into prostitution. I can't imagine them to shy away from pedophilia but thankfully it was a bridge too far (the barest of silver linings in a horrifying dystopian world I guess), though it is a bizarre double standard in a world where children as young as 12 are thrown into an arena to be killed for sport.
@@anita_penguin Nope, it’s a joke, it would be fully legal if they did it under age of consent laws and that can’t take precedence over him working in a regime that sends children to a battle royale.
Rue's part should've been left in because "if they can't catch me, they can't kill me" is absolutely heartbreaking because they indeed caught her and killed her
Katniss’s reaction to Rues interview also really helped to build their relationship later.

The same is definitely true for Cato, and probably for Katniss if she had been the sole victor.

The careers are playing it up like they're already celebrities or star athletes, Foxface is appealing to the intellectual underdog story, and Rue is using her innocence and youth to make people pity her and want her to survive.
IKRR it's really cool
and peeta playing up the star crossed lovers
It’s really interesting see how Foxface is true to herself but clearly scared and anxious the whole time they’re getting prepared for the hunger games. You can even see her searching the audiences faces during her speech in hopes that what shes saying is interesting and able to at least get some sponsors, but mostly she just seems scared and very disgusted with the audience despite being arguably the smartest person there.
As unnecessary as the scene itself is (since we already know Clove is a talented knife thrower), I seriously admire Isabelle Fuhrman for portraying Clove's confidence so perfectly. While some of the other career interviews seem a bit forced (which makes sense considering they (the careers) were brainwashed into this), you can just hear how self-assured Clove is in her abilities
In the movie itself, I could notice Marvel do this little shift with a somewhat angry look on his face. It looks like deep down, he’s really not happy to be there and his real feelings about all of it were creeping up, and he just forced them back down again.
To be honest, I always thought she was the most dangerous among the careers. Not that the others are not mind you, and I am aware that Cato is physically stronger, but she is clever, ruthless, has a perfecr aim and i think she is more inclined to have at least a rudimental strategy to go by.
@andreagrussu6778 I agree with that except for the perfect aim I would say she had near perfect aim I mean she failed to hit katniss 3 times 1st at the bloodbath 2nd and 3rd at the feast I mean she even pinned her to the ground and still couldn't hit her,though that 2nd was a close call
@@brocadeplayer9183 you are right.
@@andreagrussu6778 i agree, i feel like she was one of the toughest and strongest opponent. Her fierce looking and how confident she was with her skills made her look scary and dangerous. Not gonna mention i still have creepy impression about her since she played as esther in orphan lol
Cato's and Marvel's way of thinking is seriously crazy. They should have put at least part of that in the movie for sure.
very true i agree
they were taught at a young age that winning is all that matters, but i agree
I think it's a little obvious? it's called a game, someone's bound to treat it like one.
And you can the agreement on Cato's face and a sadistic smirk on Clove when Marvel says it. They comoletely agree. Meanwhile, the other non-Career tributes are fearful, disturbed, and disgusted, particularly Katniss and Rue.
@@RapidObsessor its called a game to make it more palatable to capitol citizens, but its entirely different for the people who fall victim to the hunger games to see it as noble and celebrate it
Marvel made it sound like a graduation speech or some shit 💀
lol
That’s appropriate since the games are a metaphor for toxic capitalism and school is toxic capitalist training.
school is essentially training you to survive a a capitalist society, that many won’t survive.
and in real life your best shot of survival is to talk about how you love it, how you love the system of capitalism, how you just gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps and focus and try hard and if you just do that, you can have anything.
You know it’s not true. but it’s what you have to say to win.
District 1 both clearly have their whole thing rehearsed. District 2 tributes are also enthusiastic but seem to be winging it more.
@@MugruncherPardon for asking but what does capitalism have to do with the Hunger Games when Panem is obviously not a free market economy.
@@chasecreamer727 neither is ours
I feel like if I was the director I would’ve kept the interviews from Foxface, Rue, Cato, and Marvel because they all add a lot of character development. Foxface’s quote about a brain being stronger than weapons is straight facts and it should’ve stayed in the final cut 😂.
I personally would have kept Glimmer’s, it shows how even though she wasn’t that good with the bow, she was AMAZING with the audience, it’s what makes a career. Fox face wouldn’t really work mostly because she said “they call me fox face” but Katniss came up with that nickname herself. Although I like her brain quote. I like rue’s and clove’s.
It would have been nice to see interviews for the other tributes just so we get to know them a tiny bit better
that brain couldn’t save her from eating those berries thou 😂
@@eden20111 my thought exactly 💀
We’re was the district 9 female and 10 female?
I understand why this scene was cut down, but really was a great way to show the sadistic nature of the games and how the tributes try to get sponsors. Apparently all the extra tributes weren’t there to shoot this lol
The girl from 3, both from 8 and 9 and the girl from 10 werent there i think when we saw the long shot of all the tributes during glimmers interview
@@rourkewhite4858my fun little non canon theory is they simply weren’t ready or had to get their outfits some last minute adjustments. we do see Johanna backstage well after her interview in the 2nd movie when she should be on the stage with the rest of the other tributes who’ve already gone
I love how Cato and Marvel are all about winning while Clove is just excited to kill people.
she is the queen fr
No joke, she's Esther
@@dhalebolanos3366 i whas so sad when she died damn you ho killed her por girl

The actress playing Foxface is incredible you can really see how terrified the poor girl must be without her having to say anything.

"My name is Marvel and I'm going to be performing spear throwing for you guys"
@@shelbyr9434 😂😂
Knowing how the capital exploits and tortures the victors after they leave the arena, it makes my stomach churn thinking about what they would’ve done to Rue had she survived.
You can also tell that they were already planning on doing that with Glimmer if she won because she was playing up the "cute, sexy" angle for her interview and while it doesn't show here, in the book her interview dress was almost see through to give the sick Capitol citizens a full view of her body
Yeah I just read the book for the first time and I now have newfound empathy for Glimmer. She was only 17. Also the way Ceaser interacted with her in this deleted scene; gross. @@oncerand_directioner
Warum foltern sie die Sieger und besonders Glimmer?
"I would see someone kill another person, and I would think to myself, 'that's me.'" Someone help these poor kids. ☹️
I know!! This line made me faceplant. The way the actor says it is so twisted and hilarious.
Very small pickup but when Marvel is talking and he mentions his dad being a hunter and always wanting to volunteer, the camera focuses on Rue.
And then when Caesar tells him good luck it focuses on Katniss.
Just a bit of foreshadowing of his ultimate fate.
Oh and at another point where he’s talking it focuses on a girl we see him spear during the bloodbath but that’s neither here nor there.
He speared the district 7 girl that's the district 6 girl that glimmer killed
For anyone wondering why there’s less tributes interviewing vs competing, if they were too emotional or too uncooperative to do an interview, then their design team/mentor wouldn’t send them out there.
The actor playing Ceasar Flickerman is brilliant. So spot on. Almost exactly what I pictured he'd sound and look like.
frr
stanley tucci is an icon
Foxface is such a queen. I was actually rooting for her when I was reading the book.
Same here. I was hoping she would join Katniss and Rue to take down the Careers
She was my favorite in these games. And in the quarter quell, Johanna
Me too honestly, Rue, Foxface and Katniss were my favourites.
Same tbh. She and Thresh were really interesting
i just dont get why they didnt include these scenes in the movie. it would really give the audience more deep understanding of who were the tributes
yesss i agree
I feel like the director did a bad job of the 1st movie but if the director from the 2nd/3rd and 4th movies did direct the first it would have been way better and they would have included something like that in there.
@@quella9089 yeah. i agree!
I completely agree but the movie was already 2 and half hours long so I guess probably because they didnt want you to know them for the SUSPENSEEE
unfortunately, something that happens a lot in the editing room in “worldbuilding” scenes being the first to go. especially if the movie is in danger of going over its run time
the tribute at 1:57 is drop-dead GORGEOUS and even though she doesn’t have any lines, she has such a cool aura like i wish she was given a backstory and screentime
District 4 girl, she has a bigger role in the books.
She actually survived some days. Looks pretty smart to survive like fox face.
She looks like a main character wowww. Wish we saw more of her.
for anybody else curious, she’s the district four female tribute! in the books, she a career and dies moments after glimmer from the tracker jackers. her actress, stunt performer tara macken, confirmed her name is marina. considering she was a career, and had this confident and cold aura about her, i feel it was wasted opportunity to explore her and district four; considering district four often fluctuates between tributes being careers or not.
@@blank.2030 literally xx
Rue always reminds me so much of my niece, especially her mannerisms. it breaks my heart even more now to see this and know my little Squish is almost that age.
I also love how Caesar agrees with Foxgace over her comment on brains being better than weapons.
Rue is the best part of this movie, and easily the most likable character
@@clairegrim4369 um...Cinna? Lol
After seeing this, I can kinda see now why Glimmer was considered the weakest out of the Career Pack. Marvel, Clove,& Cato were literally killing machines waiting with anticipation to be put in the games, while Glimmer was more of a pretty face.
Maybe she was deadly, she probably put on an act to look pretty and use her looks to her advantages and when it comes down to it, she’ll show her brutal side
@@rayhansen1726she's terrible with a bow
Maybe the bow wasn't the right weapon for her, 'cause she was pretty deadly during the bloodbath, killing few tributes with other weapons.
@@riyapatel6291the fatal flaw of careers were arrogance and because the careers felt bold since they were trained, they didnt probably care they were incompetent with a certain weapon under the assumption that the other tributes would be just as worse due to a lack of resources like the careers had.
It was glimmer's fatal flaw, she used a bow and arrow knowing it wasnt the right fit for her
She’s also the one that got her tribute token taken away - a ring that could reveal a poisoned spike. Likely she’d counted on being able to use that
rue's interview was a reminder to the capital of what the hunger games are
The way Clove was blushing when Cato was in his interview. (Clove died in Cato’s arms)
After watching all these, it's easy to see why so many people were rooting for Katniss. She wasn't interested in victory or glory. She just wanted to protect her sister.
They should’ve kept this part in. Considering we know what often times happens to past victors, the way that Caesar wanted to touch Glimmer and someone whistling from the crowd at her, she would’ve suffered the same fate as Finnick if she had been named victor. Then also seeing that line up and seeing that rue wasn’t the only kid picked was also sad. Then looking at the audience faces of discomfort and sorrow when hearing 12 year old Rue answer her questions. I know this films target audience was older kids and teens and this would be considered too dark but this should’ve been kept in the film.
Was ist mit finnick passiert und was war mit Glimmer? Es tut mir leid bin 12 und verstehe die ganze Geschichte noch nicht ganz😢
Stanley Tucci absolutely nailed it in this role.
Absolute KING
Love this wish they didn’t get deleted
same
The Careers’ motto: STRIKE HARD FIRST AND SHOW NO MERCY
Fox Face was always my favorite. I don't know why. I suspect she got a low score to get the others to forget about her, but indeed did have a great strength in her intelligence. She lasted longer than most. She's seen studying during the training, so she most likely knew what she was doing when she ate the berries. Makes me wonder what would have happened if she hadn't.
Probably killed by either cato or the dogs
Foxface is fucking gorgeous
FR
right like 😍😍
Ikr
I wish they’d kept this in. It shows who these tributes really are; brainwashed, scared children
If you read the books rue was the oldest of 6 and protective of her siblings and i think she was the one to provide for her family 💔 i still can never get over rue's death. Rue and joanna deserved so much. Never a dry eye in her desth scene.
Poor Glimmer in this scene… she’s a kid man
Most career tributes are 18 years old
@@alternateendingsandedits6854 Glimmer is 17. And even if she was 18 it's inappropriate for a 50+ year old man to be joking about touching her ass. Seriously, what is wrong with people and "if they're 18 then they can't possibly be groomed and it's totally ok for grown-ass adults to sleep with them!"
@@fabplays6559 1. it’s more district one (her district) that grooms children since they choose their most attractive tributes to volunteer for the purpose of being sexually appealing to the Capitol. The other career districts 2 & 4 choose their strongest / most capable young people to be tributes.
2. In the movie maybe but in the book it is stated that all the career tributes are 18 so I was referring to that having glimmer be 17 and clove 15 in the movie directly goes against the book canon.
3. A 18 year old is an adult under the law and can legally consent to sex with any person of legal age at least irl so if she was 18 (like in the books) then she can legally have sex with Caesar or snow or any guy in the Capitol because it’s her body her choice she can do what she wants to! That is what I was referring to that it’s ok if she’s 18 and consenting to the flirting / touching. However if she didn’t consent than that’s a different story she seems to be happy about portraying herself that way (wether this is brain washing I’m not sure). Consent is the key here if there is consent than if fine
4. An extra point since you brought up her age in the movie, I think the age of consent in panem is 16! Finnick one at age 14 and was popular with the women of the capitol but he didn’t get made to go on dates to them (basically forced prostitution poor guy) until he turned 16. I think that if tributes aren’t aloud to be bought by Capitol citizens until age 16 and the fact that they can be bought at age 16/17 tells me that like Canada and my country Australia 16 is the legal age. If this is the case then as long as there is consent (which there isn’t in the case of Finnick and I think cashmere which is what makes it the crime of forced prostitution and rape) it is again fine for glimmer who is 17 to be with who she wants to as long as they are 16 or older. 16 year olds can sleep with grown adults over here and in panem apparently. Again there should always be consent when there isn’t (like in Finnick case) that is when there is a problem.
@@fabplays6559Um no, if she’s 18 it’s perfectly fine. If she’s 17, and the age of consent is 16 it’s equally fine. I think the truly inappropriate thing here isn’t his innocent misunderstanding but that the government is killing kids. That’s the bad thing.
If they’re 18 they can’t be groomed BECAUSE THEY ARE A GROWN ASS ADULT!
@@dragonflarefrog142418year olds are still mentally undeveloped, theres not much difference between a 17 and 18 year old
My heart actually breaks during Rue's interview
You can tell none of them want to be there but when they go on stage they put up an act to survive 💯
No some of them definitely want to be there. They chose this
@@tylerwillem8683they are clearly putting on an act because you can see them cringe while watching other tributes being interviewed. At the very least they don't like the show aspect of the games.
Cato didn't understand that he was the Capitol's pawn. If he was alive, i think he would of joined D13 in a heartbeat.
i think he would've considering what he said before he died "I'm dead anyways" realizing that he was just a pawn in these messed up games
@@alceushunterxhe basically worshipped the Capitol like it was a God, and they cheered for his death. The book death was absolutely horrific, and the Capitol loved every minute of it 😟
Hearing Rue just breaks my heart 💔
Wish we got to see Thresh interview
In the book he doesn’t respond at all, just yes no answers. He wasn’t arrogant: he was just done with all of it. It would have been brilliant.
Marvel (Hughie) interview was scary. Like that’s the mentality of a serial killer or something.
No, just a brainwashed victim

Its creeps me out how they cat call and wolf whistle at glimmer.
she 17
Cato was tripping off that propaganda fr💀
They should have kept this video. It shows the tributes mindset and it make me love foxface more than I did.
ikr. Foxface was awesome
Love the host, very good actor
I knowww
Stanley Tucci, he's an amazing actor, very versatile.
I like how they all seem like realistic kids but they all have a certain strategy. Glimmer plays up sex appeal and at least pretends shes comfortable with being sexualized. Marvel claims hes wanted to do it since he was a child and plays it up as an amazing opportunity anyone can do if they belive in themselves. Clove is confident and fiesty playing up her talents and reasons shes a good fit. Cato also claims it was a childhood dream, a super awesome opportunity and the games were amazing and he was excited about them. Just what the career tributes were supposed to say. Foxface is reserved but sells the underdog story by stating her intelligence as a weapon and a alternative to career victors. Rue was adorable and innocent highlighting how horrific it really was
Stanley Tucci is incredible as Caesar.
Marvel:it really goes to show if you apply yourself and you focus all your dreams will come true
Queen maeve: pathetic
Such a twink thing
They should have left all these parts in, it gives more dimension and backstory to each of the tributes, thus making their fates in the games all the more theatrical and emotional.
Edit: And some people didn’t read the books, so it would have been nice for them to learn more about the tributes. I read them of course, so I knew a little more about each other them than the movie gives you.
1:49 they should’ve at least kept that shot in the movie. It wasn’t long, and it gave you an idea of who these kids are and how fucked this situation is
It made me feel sick, I always feel so bad for the unnamed tributes in Katniss' first game.
Damn just realised Jack Quaid plays Marvel, he is awesome as Hughie in The Boys.
Listening to the career tributes delusional speeches was just wild. Like bro this is like if the gladiators games came full circle to live television
Ugh Cato's should've been left in at least, especially with the line they gave him at the end where he says "I'm dead anyway." He knew.
I think if it wasn’t for Peeta marvel would have the best interview as he shows charisma shows that in his mind he was following his dream to compete in the games.
Yeah I think it makes sense too, district 2 as a career district is the most brutal. But district 1 being more about luxury their strength would be presentation
The irony of Marvel saying he always wanted to be in the games hahah
If Rue won:
Marvel was aimed towards Katniss. If he actually impaled her and she still shot him before, Rue could run away, hiding in the trees most of the time. Slowly coming out to collect berries and water, then going back to the trees. Later when there’s a fight happening between the last two, she could create a slingshot. Once the last person is looking for her, she can shoot them in the back of their head/neck. That could easily knock them out or kill them.
she should've won
@@allurajane4979Nah Cato should have won
I’ve always wondered where the district 8 girl and the district 9 and 10 tributes were in the line

Love his rizz at the start fr
Clove's dress was sooo pretty

It's weird that there isn't enough tributes in line to match the amount of tributes that there should be

I wish they included this. It would have added more depth to the characters instead of just another life needed to die for the main protagonists
Cato should've said "I can win because Odin is with me for in another show I am Bjorn Ironside, son of Ragnar" 🤣
And that he and his sister went to Witch Mountain
Whats sad is because some of these people in these interviews openly showed no remorse in wanting to kill other human beings when it comes down to it not being self defense , if i were in the games i would be soo scared .
Rue is so innocent 🥺😢😭
As each of them went up, I just kept saying “they died😂”
Poor dude, something about ceaser makes him the best movie character to me, don't ask me why I don't quite know the reason
He is the most charismatic character in the movie maybe
It's ironic, Cato's view on volunteering for the hunger games. "Not volunteering makes you an idiot" but If the shoe were on the other foot you know no one from the capital would ever volunteer. It truly is fascinating when you sit back and really think about the propaganda and brainwashing that took place between the 10th and the 75th Hunger Games
Rye’s sweet little face emotionally destroys me to this day… she was like a little fairy, put on this earth to be gentle and kind, and loved her family so fiercely.
Her character serves as an example that in a capitalist, fascist society… even the most gentle and kind souls are made into victims.
They couldn’t possibly have casted a better actress to play Rue, because just one glance at her sweet face makes anyone want to take a bullet for her!
The scene was cut because if you count the tributes lining up backstage, there are six missing.
This most of the screen time most of these characters get. Thats the double-edged sword of Hollywood.
they should've kept the career interviews in they really are sooo dystopian

Age of consent 16, and the more messed up thing is she’s going to die.
I'm actually amazed the Capitol had the self-restraint to wait until Finnick turned 16 (ew) before forcing him into prostitution. I can't imagine them to shy away from pedophilia but thankfully it was a bridge too far (the barest of silver linings in a horrifying dystopian world I guess), though it is a bizarre double standard in a world where children as young as 12 are thrown into an arena to be killed for sport.
@@dragonflarefrog1424So you don’t think that a 50ish year old making jokes about touching a 17 year old without consent is okay?
