In the books Peta is the one with the idea to train hard before the games, he is determine to safe Katniss life and he goes to the games with the whole idea to protect and and give his life for her. His strength is not only physical but emotional too.

Something they rarely address is that Peeta lost his leg from the first movie cause it was infected, so him being even slower and a little more clumsy is exactly what would happen. However, the books talk about how Peeta pushed himself, Katniss, and Haymitch to do daily work outs and training in the months leading up to the reaping after they found out they’d be going back in. And it’s not shown, but the final cannon and death at the end of the movie was Peeta killing the giant bald Career guy from District 2. So he’s strong and a good fighter, the movies just don’t make that clear enough for some reason. The reason why a lot of fans prefer Katniss and Peeta together instead of Katniss and Gale is cause Peeta’s warm and comforting presence is exactly what Katniss, being so cold and serious, really needs. In the context of this story, opposites not only attract but they balance each other out. Katniss comments in the book how Gale is pure rage and stubbornness and she has enough of that as is.

One thing that they didn't show that was in the books was that whatever district wins they DO get extra food and supplies but because Snow was so angry at Katniss that the food that District 12 got came in already spoiled.

I loved how in the first movie/book, Katniss saw Prim in Rue. Now in this one, she says she sees Rue in Prim. Rue's death changed her forever because it showed her that even though she'd saved Prim, little girls who were just like her were still being sent to the Games and dying in them. Katniss had only saved one of them.

Every 25 years they have a "quarter quell" which is basically an all star hunger games lmao which is why they were able to send katniss right back into the games after the last games, it so happened that katniss won her first games right before the quarter quell

They aren’t in the train forever. You were right that it’s a figure of speech. The intrusion in their lives will be ongoing and never ending

Small thing that’s always hit me hard: Assuming the guy that started the riot in District 11 after Rue’s death was her father, he’s noticeably missing on the press run. Damn Capitol.

13:07 “don’t throw the 3’s they gonna kill ya‘ll” that had me laughing lol. IT’s unfortunately not explained in the first film, but the 3 fingers salute is a gesture that was only ever used in District 12 where Katniss lives. She describes it in the first book -“an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means goodbye to someone you love“ so because the gesture originated in District 12, the people of District 12 are “allowed” to use it. When Rue dies in the first film and gives the salute as she walks away, that’s the first time other districts saw it (aside from when all of 12 gave Katniss the salute after volunteering for Prim). Rues implied dad uses the gesture and the rest of 11 follows suit turning it into basically a symbol for Justice and anti-capitol. So 12 can still use it since it originated there, but any other district using it, it is seen as a show of disrespect of the capitol. Hope that clears up the salute. Really wish they covered that in the first film since the salute becomes so prominent throughout the series. I am LOVING you guys reactions and so glad I had stumbled onto your channel. Just over the last week looks like you guys have grown a lot. You both have great personalities and really pay attention to the films, it’s much appreciated! On to finish this reaction and can’t wait to see the reactions to the final 2 films, which get so crazy!! Take care!! :)

They did actually address the forcefields in the book. Katniss and Peeta spent the last day before the interview just as a day off, and invented a game where they threw things into the forcefield on the training center roof. They'd also watched Haymitch's games, in which he used the forcefield of the arena to kill the last tribute in his field, when she threw an axe at him and it bounced back on the forcefield and hit her. Katniss just didn't see the forcefield in time and the arena was smaller than they thought.

The people did know that making a victor compete again broke the promise made by the Capitol (safety, food, and wealth for having won). However, in the Capitol, the citizens have been raised with such privilege and disdain for the Districts that they don't fully grasp what is at stake for those people, and the District citizens only watch each year because it's the law (basically Snow saying "You caused this by rebelling back in the day, so watching this is your punishment, and you will be grateful that we're only killing 1 or 2 of your kids instead of all of you.")

Gale’s griping at Katniss not being all lovey-dovey all the time is annoying to me bc he knows she just went through the worst experience of her life & that there is no way the capitol is happy about it so how could she have room in her heart and mind for romance right now. Like be so for real right now, Gale lol.

In the books when they’re in the jungle trying to get away from the fog, there is a point where Peeta is unable to keep running, and Katniss tries to carry Mags, but she’s not able to, and she is willing to sacrifice herself if Finnic was able to carry both of them but he’s not and that’s when Mags sacrifices her self, so the three of them can continue which makes her sacrifice even more

18:41 - the dress “like a mockingjay”. It’s not discussed in the films, but in the books we learn the mockingjay only exists because of a capitol mistake. They had created a species of birds called jabberjays that would listen to the people of the districts and could repeat what they said to the capitol. The people caught on and started feeding false information to the jabberjays. The capitol found out and got so mad they tried to exterminate the entire jabberjays species. The few remaining jabberjays mated with the already existing mocking birds, and created the new species of mockingjays. In the book, Katniss says “the very existence of mockingjays is a slap in the face to the capitol” because it showcases their spying failure. Still loving your guys thoughts on this, this 2nd movie is so good, sticks to the book alot more than the first one does. On to continue again lol

I had never noticed at first, but Cinna did burn the wedding dress that Snow was making Katniss wear (eventually turning into a mockingjay), so perhaps it was more disrespectful than we realized at the time.. 🤔

36:00 “I woulda never thought to…” I think a lot of people had the impression this series would be alot like Twilight and made more for a younger teenage audience, and while this book series is set for young adults, the themes and messages are so heavy and relevant to the world today it’s really something for people of any age. Also that high pitched excited “Yooo what the ffff” was so cute hahaha so glad you guys are really enjoying this!!!

Ok. Katniss DOES get a lifetime supply of food as winner of the Games, but she prefers to keep hunting because that’s the only thing from her old life that keeps her grounded. But like you also mentioned, her PTSD inhibits her from enjoying even that 😔. What’s really cool watching you two as a couple not having read the books really makes me realise how much the movies really were tailored to the book fans! So many gems that readers understood in context but listening to your questions makes me realise how much info that could have explained in the films but left out. This is great feedback for the producers of the films though! 😊

peeta doesn’t have his mom as someone that he loves is because in the books it’s shown that his mother is abusive

"I don't think they can send somebody in twice, that´s against the rules"....Ohhhhh if you only knew

When Katniss hits the force field with her arrow the explosion hits her and paralyzes her. They fixed her back but she didn’t see anyone she knew so she thought it was the capitol that picked her up and was about to kill herself and Peeta so they wouldn’t be tortured for ruining the games

This reaction is from a few days ago, so we weren’t aware of the information behind the story of hunger games, that you guys so kindly informed us on. please leave a comment below on what you guys thought about our reaction.

Something left out from the movies is Peeta loses his leg in the first games. It bitten off by the dogs. But in the 2nd games he has a prosthetic that gets caught and thats why Mags sacrifices herself so Finnick can save him.

"PETA soft as pita bread" lmfaooooooooo The best reactions videos!

If I remember my facts correctly Mags was the winner of the 10th hunger game. So she was at least 80 years old, here.

They were supposed to get resources, but they were pissed at them for "cheating" them out of one winner and were sending spoiled food.

“Peeta’s soft like Pita Bread” 🤣🤣🤣⚰️

The Capitol killed all of Haymitch’s family because they didn’t like how he won his games. That’s why Haymitch drinks. Also, he fought in the last Quarter Quell, the 50th year. For that one, they had double the amount of tributes, so Haymitch had to outlast and kill even more people.

Can I just say, I love how sweet y'all are to each other.

One of the best movie sequels (and book) period. Words cannot explain my undying love for this masterpiece 👏🏾

19:15 Cesar literally said “CUT THE CAMERAS”😂😂🖐🏼

I’m seriously so happy YT recommended you guys! Very laid back and funny as hell! *subscribed*

1) People are quick to hate on District 1, but it's important to remember that they are victims too. each district is tortured a different way. In district 1 they are expected/required to live in opulence and excess. They know that most other districts are starving, but they are made to eat to the point of making themselves sick and pretending they are happy. When they don't fall in line they get turned into the capital and made into Avoxes (people that are tortured and then have their tongues cut out and forced into servitude) or worse...mutts. Think of Effie, woman that draw the tributes' names at the reaping. Her and the TV host...they have a job to do and that is to make these grotesque moments FEEL like entertainment or else. EVERYONE is scared, even the Presidents' own family members. The games are NOT "entertainment". The citizens of Panem are ALL terrified of their government because they know the grotesque and twisted things it does to people. They watch the games because they wanna see their people and try to support them if/when they can. Being a sponsor demands a lot of money so the sponsor gifts are rare, but people try. You have to watch the games to see what will be needed. 2) Haymitch was one of District 12's winners. He's an alcoholic because he was a winner when he was 16 and since then has been required to be the mentor of countless tributes only to see them ALL die for nearly 24 years. He’d won his Games by using the force field against the Capitol. Though it was a Capitol creation, Haymitch was able to use it to his advantage and win the Games with it. The Victors receive income from the Capitol for life, are given a special status in their districts and are allowed to live in the wealthiest part of their district called the Victors' Village with their families. Their District is given supplies of food and other things to survive, while the lone victor (except of The 74th Hunger Games since there is 2 victors) is bathed in riches. Most of them become very popular all throughout all of Panem. The Capital, however, can summon victors whenever they want and make demands on them. This is clarified later and in more detail later.

commenting as i watch but it’s interesting that you said along the lines of “put something on tv people don’t care what they watch as long as it’s entertainment” the country name of Panem is taken from the latin phrase panem et circenses “bread and circuses” meaning as long as you give people food and entertainment you can do whatever to them you can control them

I totally agree with the statement that Nat said that, 'YOU PUT STH ON TV AND PEOPLE WITH BELIEVE 100 PERCENT AND CONTINUE ON WITH THEIR LIFE'' . That is exactly what happens all the time in real life.

Haymitch said Mags was a great lady and he hoped she went quickly (figuring she wouldn't survive). She did win before, a long time ago, though.

Lmaoooo bruh what old person hurt y’all??? Y’all was on Mags head whole time she was on screeennnn😂😂😂

"I would have killed him and his nana." lol. That's the right attitude to go into the hunger games. But not to be the main character in YA fiction.

Two things the movie does not mention about Peeta: he is an amputee who lost his leg in the last games which is why he had difficulty running from the fog in the jungle and Peeta kills the career Brutus in this movie.

Your reaction to this amazing series so far is fire!

I laughed when you said, "was that fckin Peeta" 😂

Yay you guys did it !!!! Another great reaction your edits are hilarious 😂 next movie should be hush or the sixth sense

I love it when you do the Charlie Murphy, Wrong, Wrong. 🤣🤣

They don’t really explain in the movies, but president snow has sores in his mouth from drinking poison in the past. He assumed his enemies would poison him so he would drink it to throw off their suspicion which caused permanent sores

8:12 it’s that, plus his whole family was murdered due to the way he won his games.. Also, in the books, when plutarc is speaking to Katniss at the capital party while they’re dancing, he pulls out his pocket watch. He does this to “check the time,” but what he really does is show Katniss that he has a Mockingjay bird on his watch face… It was one of the first and BIGGEST seeds planted for the rebellion, and Plutarc’s loyalty to Katniss. I found it really cool, and im sad it didn’t make the movie cut 💔

laughing im watching while wrapped up in the same exact poinsettia christmas blanket!

I was waiting for this one!! Hell yeah!!

@1:02 they do get riches after they win, and the winning district gets extra food for a year, Parcel day they call it. once a month supply drop comes in for the whole town with extra food, and katniss has more money than she knows what to do with, but she still goes hunting to relax, and get food for Gale's family, and other starving people in the district. They also get to live in a part of town called the Victors Village. but since 12 has only 3 victors, all the houses are empty. so they are rich with 2 houses

"Somebody from District 11 braids Katniss hair" Me: Word! 😂😂😂

cant wait for the rest of the reactions

Oh man, technical difficulties suck but I really appreciate you guys finishing it up on the iPhone!

“It’s going to be a giant mouse” 😂😂

Awesome reaction,3 hours early✨

New subie, glad I found yall. I'm enjoying yall's channel!

😅I was waiting for that "wrong, wrong" at 22:39.🤣🤣 Also 24:51 "Poison Gas" was so funny! I swear you have some of the best editing I've seen in all the reaction channels I watch! Great reaction. It's 9:20 pm, and I need to go home to watch the other reactions. LOL. I stayed after work for 2 hours to watch you react to the first two Hunger Games and Planet of the Apes. LOL

7:06 well, that was Suzanne’s whole point. The whole series basis was a metaphor for Hollywood & upper class people. I think law enforcement too but I’m not too sure about that.

Gale is her best friend and has her back, especially when she volunteered for her sister. District 13 was fire bombed and destroyed (no and the Capital doesn't know they are underground).

Santa! (Donald Sutherland.) 😆

So, anyone going to explain what happened to Haymitch and his family? There's multiple reasons for why he is the way he is. Winning the Games is not really "winning" anything at all.

@5:40 district 11 is in charge of a lot of the nations Food, so when they rioted during the first movie after Rue's death, they have been under strict martial law type stuff. They sent Katniss a loaf of poor people bread during the games after Rue died as thank you for burying her. so District 11 had been warned not to be Rebelling, so the Old man throwing up the Thank you fingers, was punishable by death to avoid insurrection

No it's not a LITERAL train. It's a figure of speech. They have mansions you saw them living in at the beginning.

If you find yourselves needing to use your iPhone again make sure to film in LANDSCAPE instead of PORTRAIT...turn your phone on its side. :)

I believe these were Philp C Hoffman's last movie. RIP. He passed right after the filming of the 4th movie.

Peeta Forever!

You can put the iPhone on landscape mode, though. :)

Hope you enjoy the next 2, great reaction I just subscribed do tombstone if you haven’t already. Keep up the great content!!!!

Dude nice shirt where can I get one like that?

She’s gonna make it LOL still sad though😢

I know you said in your reply to my comment on the previous video that you have finished the series but this one is the last one up so I guess you just haven't edited the Mockingjay part 1 and 2 I have quite a few issues with those that I won't tell you until you get them edited mostly so I don't f****** and forget any of it but I got to say this movie is probably more fun than the other ones cuz you know even though it's a bit more serious with with grown ass people who are experienced killers in there but at least they went in on a f****** mission and they got it done to make their country a better place there are a lot of things I love about catching fire a lot of it I I got to tell you has to do with cinna I wouldn't say he's a slept-on character but he is such a gem he really seems to care and he was so skilled and they got a guy who's basically known as a singer to play him but damned if he didn't nail it! That guy was a blessing to the rebellion!

New sub

I love how y’all never trust the good people in the movie first it was peeta then Finnic and nana and the new game maker 😂😂😂😂 I was like boyyyyyy are they in for a surprise no offense but I can tell y’all would not survived the hunger games but I wouldn’t either I’d be lost af

I’m with Gale. He always talked about wanting to fight and I get it

There's only one name in the bowl for Katniss because she's the only woman/girl who's won from her district. Peeta and Haymitch are the only guys who won from that district. So not many choices once you limit it to previous winners (who were supposed to be exempt from going again, so whatever).

They aren’t actually on the physical train forever. U had it right the first time. It’s figurative
