finnick's death pissed me off. he had a wife, he looked out for everyone, he saved katniss in m2, he even tried to save mags. if he was alive he could have had kids.. :(
haymitch: is very clever, figures out the trick to the force fields, uses it to win. snow: "wouldn't it be such a shame to hmm... have your family murdered?"
Finnick deserved better. He survived his first hunger games. He was sold into prostitution. He watched his closest friend that felt like a family member die.He survived his second hunger games. He joined the rebellion. He got married, and he was about to have a child. :(
It is sad but he had been reunited with the love of his live. He was happy and not dying in pain or alone. He left a piece of himself with Annie. His son
At first he's like : take this sugar cube before I shove it down your throat BTW I noticed that characters are introduced as the opposite of what they are Haymitch : careless and drunk all the time Snow : starts off congratulating Katniss and telling her he likes her pin Joanna : savage flirt that strips off in front of total strangers and curses on live TV Finnick : half naked guy trying trying to give you sugar cubes and practically begs for secrets Wow, just wow
My favourite character. A guy who looks out for everyone, even an insane girl. A good example of male sexual abuse. He was just amazing and amazingly written. Really pissed he had to die.
This is actually a very good point. Not often do we see a portrayal of sexually abused men and what that does to them, as people. Finnick was a great example of someone who understood how to care for others, due to having been taken advantage of in this way. I am both sad and glad that I know real men, who display these traits for the same reason. He could see beyond the perceived flaws of those he cared for, because he knew what flawed people really looked like.
When he screamed “katniss Help me!” I felt that feeling of betrayed and hopeless feeling...finnick deserve better,he helped others and didn’t think of his life.
No, he wanted Katniss to end his life. That's why he yelled "Katniss help me!" He knew that he wouldn't survive at that moment. He wanted help to die quickly and he got that help.
It's disgusting that Finnick was sold off for sex, but he was clever despite the trauma. When he saw Katniss, an innocent girl of similar age to him when he was sold off. I thought it was excellent writing to show Finnick becoming a role-model of sorts to Katniss and Peeta, breaking the hearts of many when he died.
when i found out Finnick was sexually abused when i was reading the book i was in english class and my friend had to yell my name to get my face out of the book. i was dead inside when i found out
I found out about Finnick from this video so I knew how it all ended when I started reading... Wow the hunger games is messed up in such an amazing way!
The funny thing about your comment is that the career who was killed on the cornucopia after they figured out the clock thing, played Aquaman on Smallville.
finnick was such a hero, he cared for a 80 yr old woman, he sacreficed his life for katniss and peeta, he loved a woman with severe PTSD for the way she was, i mean he deserved better
In my dreams he survived. I truly think he is the one tribute who deserved his freedom the most. I find his story to be even more tragic than Katniss’, honestly. He should’ve gotten his happy ending. He should’ve lived to raise his son with Annie
Why do people like gale? To be honest, he’s a dead beat. He does nothing. All he really does is hit on katniss and then gets mad when she rejects him. Also he got pissed at her when she didn’t kill him, killed coin, and went insane? So then he abandoned her to rot in 12? He legit makes no sense, Collins should have had gale sacrifice himself for finnick.
the_lovely_artist I agree with you completely... I think that gale was a big part of Katnisses story and that he can be emotionally cold after all that he has been through . Yet I never really liked him I thought that he was kinda playing with Katnisses emotions . And that he was very selfish in mockingJay... Anyway that is just my opinion
Then I don't think you understand gale properly, he too has been through quite a lot of misery himself. His father was blown apart in the mines, he had to become the breadwinner for his family at a young age. He saw the same aspects in katniss' life and fell for her. Later when Katniss went to the arena, he had to work twice as hard to feed both his as well as the Everdeen family and work in the mines 12 HOURS A DAY! It was his will to help district 12 that kept Katniss from running away in the woods and helped the rebellion. He also saved over 900 people from district 12. Gradually, the war changed him. He was fed up with people who supported the Capitol like district 2 and Peeta. This aspect completely warped him and changed him as a person. He was the most realistic character in the books and if you fail to see that it means that you haven't understood the character or the story apart from the romance.
I always imagine that Finnick saw himself in Katniss, and he did not want her abused by the Capitol like he was. Hence he stepped in whenever he could to protect her like a brother and give her a shoulder like a friend. Of course, he did a lot of the things he did for her in the beginning because of her being the Mockingjay, but eventually they built a friendship from similar tragedies and experiences and I feel his self sacrifice to save the squad must have hurt Katniss the most out of all the deaths.
I agree but i also think that she wouldve been hurt roughly the same amount by Cinna's death since he was one of her best friends and she felt comfortable talking to him
It just makes me cry that Finnick didn't get to live long enough to see his son. He is my favourite character along with Haymitch ,both suffered so much but didn't give up. They are heroes. Finnick's death was the one I cried most about along with Prim's.
Joanne Lee yeah cause its kinda funny how she volunteered to not have her die in the games but she ended up dyingin the end i figured Collins did it on purpose as irony and to show that you cant always save the people you love

YoloFTW I think the same thing of Malcolm merlyn from arrow when he (don’t read if you either don’t like arrow or haven’t got to season 6) When he sacrificed himself for Thea on lian u
Finnick has sea green eyes, was born in district four which industries are fishing, was great at swimming and was very charming... Am I the only one who thinks he's a son of Poseidon?
When I read the chapter of him being attacked by those beings in such a torturous way i cannot begin to tell you how much I cried for him. He was kind hearted, always looked out for Katniss’ best interests, was there for her when she needed someone to talk to, didn’t hesitate to save others, his PTSD was overwhelming at times but was amazingly loyal to his friends and to his beloved Annie. He was so selfless in helping Katniss and Peeta, he deserved so much more in life than what Snow put him through. Rest In Peace precious Finnick. 🙏🏻
Finnick was my favorite tribute. He cared for all, he sacrificed himself. He should have survived and enjoyed his freedom. He was the best tribute without a doubt. He was the real winner. Him and Annie just got married then he died a tragic death by the capitol. “Remember who the real enemy is”. The enemy is the capitol and he is still alive in us. Edit- Thank You for all the likes for Finnick #raisetheoddsofyourfavor
I love how even though Annie is almost insane, Finnick still loves her, and after the 75th games, he married her, bc he truly loved her, no matter what...
She isn't insane. She is severely traumatized. The games destroy people. Mentally and Physically. It breaks my soul a little bit when people say Annie is insane. She's not. She is traumatized.
Finnick's story is so sad (though let's be honest, I'm pretty sure EVERY characters story is sad in the Hunger Games)! I had no idea he was forced to become a prostitute or that Johanna was raped. Learning these things makes both Snow and the Capitol more monsterstrous than they already were!
Ashley Panzica not only was he forced to become a prostitute and spend his nights with wealthy capitol citizens to spare his loved ones from death, but he had his capitol darling persona that was far from the real him.
Finnick is great tribute. He carried for all, he sacrificed himself for others he should have survived and enjoyed independence. He is a great tribute and my favorite.
Damn I’d probably fuck my face up during the games get in a fist fight with someone so my face is permanently fucked it’s a win win if I die well I’m at peace if I live I can’t be sold into prostitution
There should be a mini-series about the Hunger Games Victors. Each victor having an episode centered around them. And the episodes should be about how they won the game, what they did while in the games, how they felt when chosen. Finnick, Mags, Haymitch, Johanna, and Beetee for sure would have an episode
@@gemmax4694 you can’t comprehend shxt can you……. The max an episode will ever be is “48 mins-1:15”………. You’re not covering weeks of camping and hunting and sleeping with that short a time frame…….. they will never make 2 hr 30 min long eps….. are you dvm or delusional
@@fiyah__ Her death is more traumatic in the book. Because its in katniss's perspective, she turns suicidal after prim dies, and she became so depressed and unstable. That is, until she gets reunited with peeta. Finnicks death is sad, but in the book, prims death made me cry more than finnick.
@@bellanimation4942 oooh, I only got to read the first book I never got to read the other two books cause 1)im poor XD 2) my school only had the first book so I couldn't read the other 2 books for free 😂. But I should really continue reading the others 🤔
During my sophmore English class, I slammed the mockingjay book on my desk when I read the part where Finnick dies. It scared the hell out of everyone because it was during silent reading time. My English teacher didnt get mad because she had an idea of why I slammed my book since she was almost done reading Mockingjay.
This is kinda off topic but...... Why the heck does gale get to live but finnick with a kid and a wife who has killed nobody unnecessary doesn't get to live.
Well because Suzan Collins is a monster. Yes she did create the best book series EVER! But she’s a monster she killed Finnick. There are two types of fans the ones that think she is amazing for creating Hunger Games and the ones that think she is a monster for killing sooo many lovable characters
Finnick remains my favorite male character in the Hunger Games. He was truly a hero. Even using the horrible circumstance of being sold into prostitution as a weapon against the Capitol and Snow. His love for Annie touched my heart to no end. I’d love to see a book or movie concentrating on what happened to the children of the Tributes.
Finnick is my favorite character in the hunger games series. Not only was he absolutely gorgeous, he was also caring, kind, strong, loyal, and brave. When he died, it crushed me throughout the rest of the movie(THERE WAS A WHOLE LOT OF TEARS). His smile takes a place in my hunger games fandom heart. His wedding with Annie was very cute and the fact that they had a child makes me happy knowing that he lives on through his son. RIP Finnick, you are lovely in many ways and you deserve to be at peace.❤️ P.s Sam Clafin made an amazing Finnick!
man i had a mental breakdown when Finnick died he was so selfless, risking his life to save those around him, even trying to save those beyond hope his and Katniss's friendship was so precious to me Finnick Odair deserved so much better
UGHHHH I cry every time with his story because he should’ve had his happy ending. He was so close. And the heartbreak that Annie must’ve been left with & the son who will not ever know how caring his father was. 😭 I’m way too into this 😅 Thanks for bringing up one of my favorite fandoms again!❤️🧡🔥
Ahem Petition to have his death retconned and it be revealed that he was instead kidnapped by the mutts and was replaced my another mutt that was supposed to escape with katniss and kill her if she escaped but she blew them all up and then finnick is found in the capital and is released and moves to district 12 with katniss and peeta and lives there with Annie and their son
She should have had Gale sacrifice himself for Finnick after seeing how much Finnick means to Katniss and Annie. Remember, Gale lost his father at a young age. I think that it's within his range to sacrifice himself so a child won't lose his father, and a wife won't lose her husband. He also cares for Katniss, and I think that isn't shown enough. (Don't get me wrong, I'm 110% team Peeta, but a lot of Mockingjay makes Gale into a rather terrible person). I think it would have been incredibly moving and sad if Gale had run back, pulled Finnick out, and died in his place. To satisfy Collins' urge to hurt Finnick, perhaps he could have lost something (a leg, like Peeta, perhaps), but he shouldn't have died. Katniss wouldn't have ended up hating Gale, and she wouldn't have blamed him for Prim's death, either. tl;dr: Gale knows first hand what it's like to grow up without a father, and to see a wife without her husband, and I think he would have been content sacrificing himself to prevent that (and because Finnick meant a lot to Katniss).
I would’ve pushed gale in and got Finnick up he literally saved EVERYONE and they just leave it makes me so madddddddd I understand they had to leave but STILL
Yeah, I kind of agree, but we must remember that Gale is not a selfless person. He grew up providing for his family and himself, and I think because of this his survival instinct was very strong, and his main goal was to stay alive by any means. I don't hate him for this, he can't be expected to sacrifice himself for someone he barely knows, since all his life he just wanted to survive the extreme conditions of district 12.
i made a non-public fan movie script that basically switches the places of katniss and peeta in mockingjay (which was pretty hard not to make plotholes with). one of the reasons i made it is to spare finnick and prim. peeta saves finnick in the sewers, while gale is the one who kills himself in the second round explosion to save prim. mockingjay is a good book, but the ending should have been writen better imo
y’all remember in glee when grant gustin sang that song, grant was almost gonna play finnick so it would have acc been funny if he also sang it in this series lmaooo
Finding out Mags was the winner of the 11th hunger games is crazy, I was hoping that she was gonna be in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. She wasn’t because it took place one year before ugh. I would love to know Mags’ story 😩
Finnick’s death was one of most emotional parts of the last book. During the battle in the book, I knew someone would have to die, and it was so hard watching him die, I almost stopped reading, but I decided to continue to see what would happen to Annie and their child 😭
So true!! When I started watching the Hunger Games I thought Finnick was self-centered and wasn't a main character, then when I saw this I realized all that poor Finnick had been threw
How the other victors were reviewing Katniss and Peeta Katniss Everdeen very skilled with a bow and arrow. Good at survival. Didn’t kill as many people and prefers not to but not to be underestimated What about Peeta He spent the entire games hurt and was hiding through the majority of it. Got carried the entire way and didn’t kill anyone if it wasn’t for the rule change he’d be dead not a threat
That one time, he used his seductive powers on Katniss. They took the part out of the movie but it is still in the book. He came up behind her and reached around her without her realizing. She was practicing tying knots and Finnick said “I’m sorry, really sorry” sarcastically and then showed her how
I stand by my decision FINNICK SHOULD’VE LIVED I feel so bad for Annie, she just got married to the love of her life and she had extreme PTSD from the games that only Finnick could help with to calm her down.
The craziest thing was I’m sure he was abused by both men and women in the Capitol, it’s not denied or implied, but most likely Snow wasn’t picky about who he sold Finnick to as long as they paid a “fair” price. Poor Finnick was emasculated and degraded; got a reprieve escaping to 13 where he could finally be with Annie, only for him to be killed in a dark tunnel as his life flashed before his eyes. I would love a book about his games, him navigating the Capitol after winning, and how he fell in love with Annie.
"Finnick cared for this lonely, unstable girl when he could have had any beautiful woman he wanted." It's not about getting any woman, it's about him loving Annie. It shouldn't be seen as selfless to love just because you're physically attractive. He and Annie loved each other. Even if Annie was unstable, that doesn't make her not beautiful.
Finnick was my favorite more than anyone in the series because of his true and real personality and the amount of care he had for others really touched me and it made me sad and hurt to see such an angel leave 😢 but he will always live on through his beautiful son.
''You don't have to do this.'' ''Yes, I do. If it'll help her.'' This line to me is so powerful. Finnick was forced to be sold for prostitution from the exact moment he was of age, and he literally loves and cares for Annie so deeply that he tells EVERYONE about it. Something like that is super hard to talk about even to someone you trust deeply, so Finnick making a full podcast all about it is so brave, he's easily my favorite character in all of The Hunger Games franchise.
Tbh, there probably wasn’t even an “of age” in the capital because in the prequel I’m pretty sure Tigress was only like 14 when she had to sell herself for money. That makes it even worse I feel like
Pierre Fraser-Allen ur like the only one who’s not weeping about non-existent characters named Finnick in the comments. Edit: Or telling Finnick Odair jokes.
finnick's death pissed me off. he had a wife, he looked out for everyone, he saved katniss in m2, he even tried to save mags. if he was alive he could have had kids.. :(
SunflowerBloom he did have a child
...
SunflowerBloom he did have a son!
And the fact that katniss ended his suffering
There you're welcoming everyone
Finnick impregnated Annie, he died before the birth of his child :’(
I was pissed when finnick died. He was my favorite character

Same, I'd rather have Katniss die tbh
Ikr
Jhem Arca 😂😂😂
Jhem Arca I haven’t got to the part where he died in the movie yet so idk but I’d rather have Peeta die, I hate him
Finnick was 14 and people were lusting over him already it is truly disgusting...
Capital people are bunch of pervs
Yeah they probably would’ve done it for Prim if she had to do it
I mean, considering they kill innocent people (including kids/babies) are we surprised? The cap supports it
Lucy yeah i for one was not surprised tbh
Just like irl with child actors, which grosses me out even more..
Imagine having a movie just focused on when Finnick was picked and took part in the Hunger Games.
yes
That would be amazing
I was thinking the same thing
*Claps*
Theres a short movie for that! you cam search it on youtube but yeah id like to see the full official movie version of it
this video makes it seem like Finnick was the main character in the series, but in realaity, he didn't get nearly enough time in the books or films
Calem Jenkins TRUE
He somehow manages to do this with every character he does and it is truly amazing
sean froelich SAM CLAFLIN SUPERIOR
Calem Jenkins he needs a movie for his self
the genius of the books was that even with small info the characters come to life and you could imagine the rest :)

Finnick deserved better. He survived his first hunger games. He was sold into prostitution. He watched his closest friend that felt like a family member die.He survived his second hunger games. He joined the rebellion. He got married, and he was about to have a child. :(
Yeah, it's so sad for the baby and the mother. Annie even said that her child reminded her of Finnick a lot.
I don't even think he knew Annie was pregnant.
Annie got widowed so fast :
Madeline Joy Martinez so true
I sobbed when Finnick died, he had just gotten MARRIED

So so true
More importantly, how could she keep Peeta alive but not Rue?
he was perfect he protected everyone he loved annie,katniss, peeta, and mags. he risked everything and u know what thanks he got for that, death
Exactly that's what I said
And Gale is whiny with no empathy whatsoever, and he got to live. Life is unfair even when it's fictional

my goat was mags tbh. sacrificing herself was expected but really heartbreaking the first time i read it

@@hatchyboy2394 she talked with katnis
When I read the chapter of him being attacked by those beings in such a torturous way i cannot begin to tell you how much I cried for him.
He was kind hearted, always looked out for Katniss’ best interests, was there for her when she needed someone to talk to, didn’t hesitate to save others, his PTSD was overwhelming at times but was amazingly loyal to his friends and to his beloved Annie.
He was so selfless in helping Katniss and Peeta, he deserved so much more in life than what Snow put him through. Rest In Peace precious Finnick. 🙏🏻
ayanesss the fucks wrong wit you it’s a book, he’s not real
@Angus CHOI lol you didnt have to call him a cunt...
Its Safiya It was sad when Katniss exploded him so he wouldn’t be in pain 😭
Peeta* not peetah
Love the comment soooo beautiful
Finnick was my favorite tribute. He cared for all, he sacrificed himself. He should have survived and enjoyed his freedom. He was the best tribute without a doubt. He was the real winner. Him and Annie just got married then he died a tragic death by the capitol. “Remember who the real enemy is”. The enemy is the capitol and he is still alive in us.
Edit- Thank You for all the likes for Finnick #raisetheoddsofyourfavor

😭💔
Finnick's quotes are all so powerful
I love how even though Annie is almost insane, Finnick still loves her, and after the 75th games, he married her, bc he truly loved her, no matter what...
She isn't insane. She is severely traumatized. The games destroy people. Mentally and Physically. It breaks my soul a little bit when people say Annie is insane. She's not. She is traumatized.
@@wyandgi exactly! trauma ≠ insanity.
It's the most unrealistic part of the book.
Classic PTSD, but like anyone who is traumatized, she can face life and triumph over her experiences, going on to live and love.
@@godpilled9077unrealistic but beautiful…

Underrated comment
This is soooooo underrated!
it bothers me how they cut out a lot of the Katniss and Finnick scenes when they were bonding
I liked the one where they bickered and then pulled a prank on sleeping Peeta when they received the skin ointment, that was funny
@@ihavelemonade5640 I really wished they had kept it! Showing again how they’re just kids.
Finnick's story is so sad (though let's be honest, I'm pretty sure EVERY characters story is sad in the Hunger Games)! I had no idea he was forced to become a prostitute or that Johanna was raped. Learning these things makes both Snow and the Capitol more monsterstrous than they already were!
They mention it in the movies, but just briefly
Ashley Panzica not only was he forced to become a prostitute and spend his nights with wealthy capitol citizens to spare his loved ones from death, but he had his capitol darling persona that was far from the real him.
Johanna wasnt raped, she refused to be which got her family killed
thankfully, its not real.
If you read the books, it would make more sense of why the rebels acted that way.
I loved Finnick! Sam was amazing in the movies and his death was heartbreaking!😭💔
Astro Matrix Gale was the one who should’ve died...
Finnick is great tribute. He carried for all, he sacrificed himself for others he should have survived and enjoyed independence. He is a great tribute and my favorite.
No truer words could be said 😭😥
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH YES
Omg yeah I was crying
I would just like to say that Finnik and Mags are the most selfless people ever.

There should be a mini-series about the Hunger Games Victors. Each victor having an episode centered around them. And the episodes should be about how they won the game, what they did while in the games, how they felt when chosen. Finnick, Mags, Haymitch, Johanna, and Beetee for sure would have an episode
I would watch that
Haymitch would need his own movie or series there is a lot to his story. But this is a really good ideab

Lol I literally just finished watching the last movie like a couple of Hours ago... And I legit forgot prim died 🤣 that's how much I cared about her
@@fiyah__ Her death is more traumatic in the book. Because its in katniss's perspective, she turns suicidal after prim dies, and she became so depressed and unstable. That is, until she gets reunited with peeta. Finnicks death is sad, but in the book, prims death made me cry more than finnick.

Alot of people knew Prim wld die from the start but finnick's was unexpected
During my sophmore English class, I slammed the mockingjay book on my desk when I read the part where Finnick dies. It scared the hell out of everyone because it was during silent reading time.

Well because Suzan Collins is a monster. Yes she did create the best book series EVER! But she’s a monster she killed Finnick. There are two types of fans the ones that think she is amazing for creating Hunger Games and the ones that think she is a monster for killing sooo many lovable characters

Finnick remains my favorite male character in the Hunger Games. He was truly a hero. Even using the horrible circumstance of being sold into prostitution as a weapon against the Capitol and Snow. His love for Annie touched my heart to no end. I’d love to see a book or movie concentrating on what happened to the children of the Tributes.
yes
The AMOUNT of bravery it took mags to walk back into the fog although it literally strikes an immense amount of fear into you is insane

Finnick is my favorite character in the hunger games series. Not only was he absolutely gorgeous, he was also caring, kind, strong, loyal, and brave. When he died, it crushed me throughout the rest of the movie(THERE WAS A WHOLE LOT OF TEARS). His smile takes a place in my hunger games fandom heart. His wedding with Annie was very cute and the fact that they had a child makes me happy knowing that he lives on through his son. RIP Finnick, you are lovely in many ways and you deserve to be at peace.❤️ P.s Sam Clafin made an amazing Finnick!
On a separate note: I cried when Mag died
man i had a mental breakdown when Finnick died
he was so selfless, risking his life to save those around him, even trying to save those beyond hope

I’m way too into this 😅
Thanks for bringing up one of my favorite fandoms again!❤️🧡🔥

This is the only ending I accept now

Better story than twilight 🤧
She should have had Gale sacrifice himself for Finnick after seeing how much Finnick means to Katniss and Annie. Remember, Gale lost his father at a young age. I think that it's within his range to sacrifice himself so a child won't lose his father, and a wife won't lose her husband. He also cares for Katniss, and I think that isn't shown enough. (Don't get me wrong, I'm 110% team Peeta, but a lot of Mockingjay makes Gale into a rather terrible person). I think it would have been incredibly moving and sad if Gale had run back, pulled Finnick out, and died in his place. To satisfy Collins' urge to hurt Finnick, perhaps he could have lost something (a leg, like Peeta, perhaps), but he shouldn't have died. Katniss wouldn't have ended up hating Gale, and she wouldn't have blamed him for Prim's death, either.
tl;dr: Gale knows first hand what it's like to grow up without a father, and to see a wife without her husband, and I think he would have been content sacrificing himself to prevent that (and because Finnick meant a lot to Katniss).
I would’ve pushed gale in and got Finnick up he literally saved EVERYONE and they just leave it makes me so madddddddd I understand they had to leave but STILL
And then prim might not have died! Yes!
Yeah, I kind of agree, but we must remember that Gale is not a selfless person. He grew up providing for his family and himself, and I think because of this his survival instinct was very strong, and his main goal was to stay alive by any means. I don't hate him for this, he can't be expected to sacrifice himself for someone he barely knows, since all his life he just wanted to survive the extreme conditions of district 12.
i made a non-public fan movie script that basically switches the places of katniss and peeta in mockingjay (which was pretty hard not to make plotholes with). one of the reasons i made it is to spare finnick and prim. peeta saves finnick in the sewers, while gale is the one who kills himself in the second round explosion to save prim. mockingjay is a good book, but the ending should have been writen better imo
If the love triangle had stop earlier with Gales death I would not be mad

Finding out Mags was the winner of the 11th hunger games is crazy, I was hoping that she was gonna be in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. She wasn’t because it took place one year before ugh. I would love to know Mags’ story 😩
Finnick’s death was one of most emotional parts of the last book. During the battle in the book, I knew someone would have to die, and it was so hard watching him die, I almost stopped reading, but I decided to continue to see what would happen to Annie and their child 😭
The fact that we are so attached to these characters just shows how good Collins' writing is.
The only thing I'm mad at her is for letting Finnick die.

omg finally someone else who thought this too
So true!! When I started watching the Hunger Games I thought Finnick was self-centered and wasn't a main character, then when I saw this I realized all that poor Finnick had been threw
That's why you should read the book
Finnick was such a pure soul. To have gone through such ugly trials imposed on him, and still act with integrity and strength at every turn.
I don't know why but he's my favorite character in Hunger Games
Kimberly Torreon Finnick IS a really good character. ♥️
Did anyone else cry when he died

Personally haymitch was favorite
Because he’s a god
Peeta legit spent most of the series hurt or painting cookies and making himself a rock.
Don't forget dead🤣... granted it was only for like 2 minutes but who cares still counts
How the other victors were reviewing Katniss and Peeta
Katniss Everdeen very skilled with a bow and arrow. Good at survival. Didn’t kill as many people and prefers not to but not to be underestimated
What about Peeta
He spent the entire games hurt and was hiding through the majority of it. Got carried the entire way and didn’t kill anyone if it wasn’t for the rule change he’d be dead not a threat
That one time, he used his seductive powers on Katniss. They took the part out of the movie but it is still in the book. He came up behind her and reached around her without her realizing. She was practicing tying knots and Finnick said “I’m sorry, really sorry” sarcastically and then showed her how
It’s a deleted scene in the movies
@@02abeehamuneeb36 this moment is in the books too. I read it

FINNICK SHOULD’VE LIVED
I feel so bad for Annie, she just got married to the love of her life and she had extreme PTSD from the games that only Finnick could help with to calm her down.

The craziest thing was I’m sure he was abused by both men and women in the Capitol, it’s not denied or implied, but most likely Snow wasn’t picky about who he sold Finnick to as long as they paid a “fair” price. Poor Finnick was emasculated and degraded; got a reprieve escaping to 13 where he could finally be with Annie, only for him to be killed in a dark tunnel as his life flashed before his eyes. I would love a book about his games, him navigating the Capitol after winning, and how he fell in love with Annie.

"Finnick cared for this lonely, unstable girl when he could have had any beautiful woman he wanted."
It's not about getting any woman, it's about him loving Annie. It shouldn't be seen as selfless to love just because you're physically attractive. He and Annie loved each other. Even if Annie was unstable, that doesn't make her not beautiful.
exactly
It's the inner beauty that counts, not the extern one!
This is the most u realistic part of the books.
Period
When we first met Finnick I thought he was gonna be an antagonist but turned out to be my favorite character. I almost cried when he died.
Finnick was my favorite more than anyone in the series because of his true and real personality and the amount of care he had for others really touched me and it made me sad and hurt to see such an angel leave 😢 but he will always live on through his beautiful son.

Impeccable logic

Seems you have a similar line of thinking as many Capitol citizens.
''You don't have to do this.''
''Yes, I do. If it'll help her.''
This line to me is so powerful. Finnick was forced to be sold for prostitution from the exact moment he was of age, and he literally loves and cares for Annie so deeply that he tells EVERYONE about it. Something like that is super hard to talk about even to someone you trust deeply, so Finnick making a full podcast all about it is so brave, he's easily my favorite character in all of The Hunger Games franchise.
Tbh, there probably wasn’t even an “of age” in the capital because in the prequel I’m pretty sure Tigress was only like 14 when she had to sell herself for money. That makes it even worse I feel like
Finnick was a true OG and probably a Pisces. He had more heart, depth and loyalty than the whole ocean itself.
