All of the characters had their moments tbh 😂 whether intentional or not but Collins is just great at writing funny, sharp sarcastic ppl. Haymitch, katniss and peeta were a hilarious trio in the books 💀 he's the drunken, reluctant, rude older cousin forced to babysit
In the books, Haymitch was, indeed, absolutely unhinged. 😂 Absolutely none of that "I'm a responsible father figure" nonsense. Oddly similar to Sirius Black tbh
haha yesss as much as I have the softest spot in my heart for movie Haymitch, I love unhinged book Haymitch so much bc when we get those book moments where Haymitch is actually being soft with and a father like figure to katniss like the scene where he comforts her in mockingjay, it hits so much harder 🥲
oh that’s such a great point I hadn’t thought of!! book haymitch’s unreliability as a stable adult figure in Katniss’s life really makes Cinna’s death and Katniss’s loss of him hurt so much more 😭

@@evyrys2725 Oh, okay. I don't remember those details from the books, it's been a long time since I've read them. :) I guess they wanted to make the love triangle more ambiguous in the movies? Anyway, thanks for reply!
@@DivaQuinzel Have you watched any reaction videos on yt? The Cocoa Couch? Badd Medicine? It's Totally Cody? Alex Heffner? Billy Binges? I have yet come in contact with someone who doesn't like Peeta. :) And even random videos from fans on yt, they always show Gale as a bad guy. xD That's how much love Peeta gets.
I’ve forgotten the movies, but I 100% remember (barely) functioning alcoholic Haymitch, who once tried to drink rubbing alcohol when a prohibition hit district 12.
Book Peeta was much more sarcastic too lol. Like when he and Katniss are joking around about him decorating cakes in the games he’s very funny. The movie took some of his humor and makes him seem almost emo.
In the book, Haymitch and Katniss were extremely similar, which is part of why they clashed all the time. Also, Haymitch was wayyy more drunk all the time. He harassed Ellie on stage at the reaping and fell off the stage 😭
He was brilliant in the books. The beginning with him throwing up on the stage at the reaping was enough of an impression to draw you into his character.
And how he's drunk out of his mind(in fairness a former victor getting wrecked on reaping day makes total sense. Ptsd guys) yet recognized Katniss's bravery and taunts the capitol about it. "more than you. More than you!"
You forgot the part where he constantly compares how much better at this Peta is than her and how she doesn't deserve him and how he just wishes she would die and he could adopt Peta as his foster son and in case she was confused he prefers Peta
You know I was absolutely aghast that the scene where haymitch shouts 'I dOn'T cArE iF sHe bLEw uP tHe DAMN JUSTICE BUILDING!' in the evil head peacekeeper's face was not included in the movie😭😭
Haymitch: I was forced to compete in a game where I had to survive by killing/avoid being killed by other kids. When I won, the government got mad at me for using a loophole and killed my friends and family. What's worse is that for the next 23 years, I had to coach other kids who had no chance of winning and watch them get slaughtered Sirius: I lost my best friend, his wife, and a relationship with their son bc I trusted my other friend with their secret location. It turned out that he was actually working for an evil, genocidal, psychopath and betrayed their location. When I found out that the fucker betrayed everyone I tried to bring him in but he framed me for his murder. I spent the next 12 years in prison where the guards would literally suck all the happiness out of me. When I escaped, I managed to catch the rat who framed me but he managed to get away. Did I mention that my family is full of racist, xenophobic, lunatics. One of my cousins actually tortured a couple to insanity for information that she never got Haymitch: wanna drown our traumas in alcohol? Sirius: I like your thinking
Father figure? Birch that is an uncle figure. That is wine aunt's energy with a knife. Haymitch in the books is like: Katniss I love your energy but you are super unlikable, which is not gonna help any of us. 😂
Katniss is a deeply flawed character and Haymitch saw her for what she was: a survivor. Peeta and her sister glorified her, her childhood love saw her as a tool, her mother felt mainly guilt and Haymitch knew what she really was.
That’s why the writing is so good. I don’t think Suzanne Collins gets enough credit because the series is written off as “popular” and “YT” etc. Its extremely good writing.
@Pktommy1 Have you read her work "Gregor the overlander" series? It's brilliant. It's marketed at children's books and I read them when I was about 10 before the hunger games existed and I thought "she will be famous one day" as a young girl. Even her children's books have great world and character building and are extremely violent without being vulgar.
@itsnemosoul8398 I disagree. Katniss has normal flaws like everyone, no deeper than anyone else. You know who is deeply flawed? Haymitch. I love him a lot and his and Katniss's relationship is one of my faves, but let's not pretend he didn't treat Katniss awfully sometimes (not comforting her after Prim's death and after she sought him out for comfort, teasing her about boy problems). Katniss is a survivor but the entire point of the books is that she doesn't want to just survive all the time. She's sick and tired of it. And just because Peers treats her as someone special and deserving of love that doesn't mean he's glorifying her??? Suzanne Collins wrote a book about how in a world full of cruelty and injustice, love and kindness can still thrive and yet people only choose to view it through the most cynical lenses ever.
@@evyrys2725 At the end of the day the book portrays PTSD in all the right ways. All of them are deeply flawed and it’s supposed to be there way because they’re all just trying to survive and that’s the sad truth of the real world. This is how people are. It doesn’t sugar coat it or make a happy story out of it.
I was always a bit sad that they didn't include Haymitch's victory in his hunger games, that's just such an awesome scene for his character and the story.
Cinna and Haymitch were my favourites. I just loved the fact that Haymitch actually gave a fuck while also being completely honest about the situation.
Haymatch is a much more complex and deeply flawed but also genuinely good person in the books. He's a very interesting character. I imagine that I wouldn't like him as a friend if he were a real person, but Suzanne Collins does an amazing job of showcasing why he is the way he is and getting the reader to sympathize with him. Excellent writing for an excellent character. Enjoy the book!
I love how you depict the book descriptions of characters so accurately. Haymitch in the books was described as pretty much pure seam looks, whereas in the movie he looks more like the wealthier D12 people like peeta
i’ve never watched the movies and was obsessed with the books when i was younger so i was so surprised when people told me haymitch was like a responsible adult in the movies
Honestly I wish they included the part from the book where they watched the recording of Haymitch winning the hunger games. He fought against fifty kids instead of twenty-five. It really showed why he’s the way he is. I understand why they didn’t include it, but still...
Movie Haymitch: alcoholic supportive father figure trying to help his daughter survive Book Haymitch: unhinged older brother who survived out of pure spite
Maymitch in the books was a whole mood especially the way you played him in this vid! I love your Vids you are one of my all time favorite TH-camrs keep doing what you’re doing🖤
He literally looked at Katniss and said “you can have the earpiece, or I can put a helmet contraption on your head. Those are your only options.” And Katniss was like “damn”
Not to mention Haymitch in Catching Fire like: Oh, you’re 16 and you’re goin back into the Games again and you’re here for a drink? Well, come on in kid! Help yourself! 😜
Haymitch was PHENOMENAL in the book, I loved him dearly; someone else said it but I totally agree that his movie edit was weirdly like Sirus Black's and Luna Lovegood's movie edits.
Book Haymitch sounds like that one meme "I've only had [Katniss] for a day but if anything happens to her I'm ending everyone in this room and them myself!" XD
Book Haymitch was like "The world would be a better place without me, so i'm gonna live as long as I can out of spite."
Exactly! Love that about him😂
So real it’s not even funny
😂😂😂
Also, Haymitch was a comedic genius in the books
indeed

Hence, Suzanne Collines is a comedy genius
@@buglamps1290 yeah
like "you want some advice? stay alive" is one of the best lines ever written

when I watched that first movie I was viscerally upset that Haymitch never drunkenly stumbled on stage and fell off during the reaping
So was I. I was expecting him to faceplant. Very disappointed
HE DIDN’T? I haven’t actually watched the movies and really thought this would have been included
@@TiredOctono I see why they removed it. It would absolutely take away from the seriousness of the scene.

Also movie luna seems a little weird and random but not too bad but book luna is straight insane 😂
what i thought when i saw the book version hahahaha
Maybe coz we all need that father figure and so we look for it in the only possible place.. fantasy
Is like in the movie Haymicth is healing and is a responsible father whereas in the books he's got ptsd and is anger but caring somehow
they’re both very much ‘traumatized dad adopts feral daughter’ just in different fonts 😂😭
It reminds me so much of Sirius in the movies vs books
A dad and his feral daughter, vs a uncle and his feral niece.
@@magicbymikailaOmg that’s one of my favorite character dynamic tropes
@@theratking3075Honestly Haymitch is the feral uncle and Katniss is the traumatized niece
While the movies were great, book Haymitch further shows that Katniss has no adult figure to rely on until Cinna.
oh that’s such a great point I hadn’t thought of!! book haymitch’s unreliability as a stable adult figure in Katniss’s life really makes Cinna’s death and Katniss’s loss of him hurt so much more 😭
Which made it even more devastating when he died.
@@magicbymikailaBut when Katniss finds out that Peeta was being tortured, she immediately runs to Haymitch for comfort because he was the only one who understood.
@@fandomgirl94well Cinna was already dead then so he was the only one to run to
Haymitch is an uncle figure - occasionally crazy, sometimes unreliable, but they get you
I don’t know about the movies but Haymitch would roast Katniss in every opportunity he could. “You've got about as much charm as a dead slug” lmao
He also did it in the movies.
Was searching for that comment, i Loved that Part xD
The only time he was nice to her was when she broke down after seeing the roses in 13
Woody Harrelson can't help it he's so loveable
Everyone was like 5x more blunt and depressing in the books 😅 especially katniss and haymitch
I need some Peeta scenes, he really got that Ginny treatment in the movies
How so? :) I think it's the best adaptation of any of the scifi book series we have available. Every viewer loves Peeta.
@@petrastein2531He's still loveable and Josh Hutcherson does a good job but there's a lot less Everlark in the movies (probably because the director/producers/etc didn't want it to be reduced to a love story considering 2012 was very 'girl power!! I don't need a man')

he did that in the movies as well, he tried drinking rubbing alcohol after gale got whipped
Also that scene where he lets Katniss get insanely drunk because he’s no hypocrite. 😅
You should do one of Peeta forcing Katniss and Haymitch to train. 😂😂
Oh my god I forgot about that.
Oh god, that would be awesome 😂
Yes! We just hear about it in the book so we don’t get full detail and we don’t see it at all in the movie so I need some sort of reenactment lmao
Book Peeta was much more sarcastic too lol. Like when he and Katniss are joking around about him decorating cakes in the games he’s very funny. The movie took some of his humor and makes him seem almost emo.
@@carrie9716Which is so depressing because his one wish was to not be changed by The Games.
Thiss the whole father figure thing never stuck for me cause all I could think was Katniss was more of a father figure to him bru 💀
In the book, Haymitch and Katniss were extremely similar, which is part of why they clashed all the time. Also, Haymitch was wayyy more drunk all the time. He harassed Ellie on stage at the reaping and fell off the stage 😭
“Also I ate your lunch while I was waiting” 💀💀💀💀
Yep, he really did that in the book😂
He was brilliant in the books. The beginning with him throwing up on the stage at the reaping was enough of an impression to draw you into his character.

. . . Haymitch said calmly.
You forgot the part where he constantly compares how much better at this Peta is than her and how she doesn't deserve him and how he just wishes she would die and he could adopt Peta as his foster son and in case she was confused he prefers Peta
Pretty much yeah 😂
And then he still chooses her over Peeta in both hunger games
Don’t forget the constant “sweetheart”s.
SWEETHEART looks about as good as a dead slug in a wheelchair with pneumonia and facial disfiguration.
- Haymitch, probably
Book Haymitch is an absolute riot, movie Haymitch is adorable 😂😂😂
THE DETAIL OF BOOK HAYMITCH HAVING BROWN HAIR IS SUCH A SLAYY
the fact that the unhinged book scene is almost a direct quote, he really is that unhinged 😂
Haymitch and his flock of geese was something that wasn’t in the movies ❤
OMG FORGOT ABOUT THE GEESE 😭
You know I was absolutely aghast that the scene where haymitch shouts 'I dOn'T cArE iF sHe bLEw uP tHe DAMN JUSTICE BUILDING!' in the evil head peacekeeper's face was not included in the movie😭😭
Best line in THG
"THAT IS MAHOGANY!"
I feel like Sirius and Haymitch would’ve been besties

Haymitch: wanna drown our traumas in alcohol?
Sirius: I like your thinking
Him leaving to find rubbing alcohol to drink was wild to me
He was *so drunk* basically every second of every day.
I liked how you had darker hair in book version harmonious to books
Father figure? Birch that is an uncle figure. That is wine aunt's energy with a knife.
Haymitch in the books is like: Katniss I love your energy but you are super unlikable, which is not gonna help any of us. 😂
😂😂😂
We all know this one figure that is just a dude who hasn't figured out his life in the book, but a father figure in the movie
And this just reminded me on why Book Haymitch is so iconic

Do more hunger games characters I LOVED this!!! 😂
If anyone's wondering this is from mockingjay
The amount of times he drank in the book series he would have died from alcohol poisoning 😂
‘You have the personality of a dead slug’ - Haymitch, book 1
Yes in mockingjay Katness tries to attack him with a needle and he’s like ‘ Are you planning to take down the capitol with a siringe?’
Also I can’t spell siringe so for anyone questioning what that is it’s one of these:💉
Haymitch finally had someone he could care about he wasn’t gonna let that change 😭
I totally forgot he threatened to surgically implant an earpiece in Katniss.
“Katniss what were you thinking?! Never mind- it’s fine!” 😂😂 accurate ❤❤❤
I never saw the movies but read the first two books, your Haymitch is spot on 😂
I was always a bit sad that they didn't include Haymitch's victory in his hunger games, that's just such an awesome scene for his character and the story.
Yeah everything. How he promoted himself, winning and then lossing everything. Forget the scene, it should be the next movie.

@@tonyastark1215I have good news for you, six months later~
This is too accurate
Pt 2 please I love haymitch

Haymitch was literally the best in the books 😂
I remember Haymitch the most from reading these books as a kid. He was so unhinged.
By far the best thing I have seen all day!
Keep in mind Haymitch was actually talking to a 16/17 year old like this😂
After rereading the books Haymitch kinda made his way to being my favourite character in the series
This one chapter was one of my favorites through the trilogy-edit: you should talk about how short and underwhelming finnicks death was.
Her ability to transform into these characters 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Honestly I wish they included the part from the book where they watched the recording of Haymitch winning the hunger games. He fought against fifty kids instead of twenty-five. It really showed why he’s the way he is. I understand why they didn’t include it, but still...
Movies: "I know im like a father figure to you
With all thisese hunger games posts having a Renaissance Era I have started rereading the books and you are exactly right😂
The book version was much closer to how I imagined his appearance, too. I didn't even know the movie version was Haymitch for a hot sec
The fact that he actually said something like that😭 LMAO yet we still knew he cared for them
I loved haymitch in the books he had me dying of laughter but then had me question how unhinged he actually was and had me fear for my sanity lol 😆 😂

Literally can't wait for the videos on this. Didn't watch the movies but read all the books so I'm excited for this
Book Haymitch giving major unhinged Robert Pattinson and I’m here for it
The fact that these lines are almost entirely taken directly from the book shows how cracked he really is. Didn’t even need to exaggerate.
Book Haymitch was all “God has allowed me to live another day am I’m about to make it EVERYONE’S problem…”
Haymitch from the books is more like i have given up on life many times
Haymitch was my favorite character for sure.
And let's not forget Haymitch gave Katniss shit for how she treats Peeta and he was like PEETA IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU
Omg you need to do the scene in the first book where he fall off the stage during the reaping. Lol it’s so funny 😂
As someone who has read the books, but is yet to watch the movies- this makes me want to watch the movies
He literally looked at Katniss and said “you can have the earpiece, or I can put a helmet contraption on your head. Those are your only options.” And Katniss was like “damn”
I have been waiting for this!! Thanks!
HAHAH I REMEMBER THAT, ALL HIS MICROPHONE OPTIONS
I fckn love the book haymitch by you i laughed my ass off
And I'm oddly attracted to both 😭😭😭😭😭 I might need help
At least he’s a father figure in both, just differently
It's literally like this in the book ❤❤
The detail of getting his hair colour!!
