In my opinion, Johanna was the most tragic. She was tortured, lost her loved ones, betrayed and left the world alone.

It’s been like 7 years and I still haven’t been able to get over Finnicks death. Still the hardest death to accept across all fantasy franchises

I think people underestimate just how tragic Annie's ending was, she was left mentally deranged and a single mother with the responsibility of raising a kid while suffering through PTSD and insanity without any support system. Finnick and Mags were the only support she had, and Finnick was the only one who can calm her down when she gets an episode and they're both gone.

You know who had it bad? Prim. Prim was only seven (?) when she her dad died. She watched her sister starve and her mother go into shock. She got reaped for the hunger games and instead had her sister take her place. She had to spend the entire hunger games watching her sister nearly die on tv multiple times. When her sister was forced back into the arena again, Prim had to watch a Katniss blow up the arena. She had her home bombed. She watched her sister deal with Peeta. Hell, Prim was the one who talked to help Peeta. Prim was sent into battle a year to young and was blown up on the field. This girl had it tough.

To quote Haymitch-“there are no winners-there are survivors “. The brilliance of Suzanne Collins writing is how she could make us feel such sympathy for so many characters.

I truly think people underestimate the pain and tragedy of Johanna's life because of the way she reacts to it. She seems so strong because of her, what else have I got to lose attitude, but really her story is a really tragic one where the beginning, middle and end were just terrible.

I feel like we didn’t touch enough on the abuse Peeta went through from his mom. She beat the shit out of him daily since he was very young. Most of these people had good families and sure it was horrible they were taken away, but Peeta never had a family

I like to believe that eventually Johanna was able to work through her fear of water and find at least one person to connect with.

I think an extra tragedy is that Peeta's whole family was killed in the district 12 bombing: both his parents and siblings. Outside of Katniss and Haymich, he had no one. I'd say maybe Haymich and Peeta are toe to toe, but they're both over Finnick for me; Haymich due to how long he suffered and Peeta over how brutally he did so

You can't tell me that Peeta was the same Peeta after Snow was done with him and all the torture he endured back at Capitol probably had huge consequences on him mentally

Sad that Finnick never got to meet his son in both the book and movies. 😢

I feel every tribute from District 4 had a tragic past connected to them. Annie Cresta went mad after seeing beheading survived because of her swimming skills that district 4 was good at due to water filling in the arena. Her mother was just free meat and she had no chance. Finnick was the youngest to win at 14 but was pushed into sex slavery but killed by lizard mutation in 2nd Rebellion

All Haymitch did was use his brain and his surroundings to win the Hunger Games. And how did Snow repay him for it?

5: Annie Alive but PTSD and Finnick died. 4: Peeta Always feeling neglected, playing games for years, lost his leg, brainwashed but survived and ended up with Katniss. 3: Haymitch PTSD, depression, alcoholic but managed to stay alive and have a bit of redemption and happyness after a long life of struggles. 2: Finnick Forced into prostitution and died at the Rebellion War. Sad ending! 1: Johanna Ended up totally alone, terrible PTSD, her heart full of hatred and feeling betrayed by everyone.

In some ways, though, I might say Katniss and Prim's mother. She watched her best friend die in the second quarter quell. She got married to the man she loved and had two beautiful daughters, just to have her husband blown up in the mines. She went into extreme depression while Katniss and Prim struggled around her. She picked up again once Katniss learned to hunt, and was doing alright with her apothecary business before Prim was reaped and Katniss took her place. She had to watch her daughter nearly die dozens of times on live television, and deal with her coming home supposedly in love with Peeta. Then the whole thing repeated all over again with the third quarter quell, where she also had to deal with Katniss supposedly going to certain death while pregnant. Then her home got blown up, and she had to evacuate to District 13 with what was left of the District 12 population. She watched Katniss struggle with PTSD and saw her in and out of the hospital countless times. Then Katniss went to the Capitol, and was declared dead. Prim got permission to go to the capitol as well, before she was murdered indirectly by Gale. Not much happened to her personally, but she had to watch helplessly as her husband and daughter were killed while her other daughter suffered through extremely traumatic situations over and over again.

Peeta is so much more tragic than I thought, wow. I do have to agree that Johanna is the most tragic though, as she goes through so many trials in her life to never really see a brighter side or a happy moment. It is also especially tragic to see the toll it has taken on her mental health and her personality, similar to how we see with Haymitch but a lot more dramatic I think. Haymitch turns to alcoholism, but through that he finds some sort of comfort and identity. I don’t feel like Johanna ever really gets that comfort, even when on the morphling, and she never is able to find a real sense of identity either as it has been stripped from her over and over again… The Hunger Games is literally peak literature and no one can tell me different lmao

I did not experience the torture Johanna endured, however I endured and survived my own trauma that has left me with a similar difficulty taking showers and I appreciate how he keeps mentioning it repeatedly. It’s a horrible thing to live with, a terrible fear to have constantly hanging over me (and embarrassment, of course). I probably sympathize the most with Johanna and I wish the movies had done a better job of telling her story.

Given everything that Johanna went through, the rankinh of how tragic her story was is definately well deserved

I think something else you should have considered with Peeta, was his life before the games. Every single person on that list, besides Peeta, had loved ones. Even Haymitch and Joanna, who lost their loved ones, at least HAD loved ones growing up. Peeta did not. He was abused his ENTIRE life. By his mom and the capital. But never lost that kindness that made Katniss fell in love with him, unlike Joanna and Haymitch, who became bitter.

When you realize that Annie had to deal with Finnicks death more than once as she thought he died when the peacekeepers bombed that building. And than she found out that he was still alive which gave her hope. And than she had to deal with it all over again. Off!!😰

When I read the books I did feel like Katniss loved Peeta before she went into the arena the 2nd time. She was very conflicted between Gale and Peeta. And I think she didn't even understand her own feelings.

I agree that Johanna has the most tragic life 100%. I also feel that Katniss herself deserves to be on the list too, though she’d end up in last place. She watched her best friend become a product of something she hated, leading to her witnessing the death of her sister, and was consistently used as a form of propaganda for both sides. She had it better than a lot of them, but not by so much. (Not forgetting she was a child of the Seam and lost her father, and arguably her mother, at a very young age)

I personally think that Peeta is No. 2. Yes, he gets a happy ending, and he's suffering isn't as long as some of the others, but even at the end of the series he still gets flashes where he needs to hold onto a chair so he wouldn't kill the woman he loves. Plus, his tournament in the Capital was more concentrated than for anyone else, especially once they started the hijacking process on him. They managed to squeeze years of torment into just a couple of months.

I think Annie had the hardest life, she saw her partner get decapitated in the games, went insane, then had to see the only person that understood her and cared for her have to go back into the games against other victors who had just as big as a chance to win, then had a chance at happiness when she got married and got pregnant but then her husband died, the only person that mattered to her and only one that cared. She was alone with a baby and didn’t know how to cope.

It's Annie. She went through The Hunger Games which gave her tons of phiscal stress, then, when she won and when came back home she was never in the right mind and the only person who could get her through it, Finnick, she had to watch him being sold. She was chosen for the 75th hunger games, Mags vollentered for her, then she watched Mags give up her life for Finnick and the others which gave her a lot of guilt. When Katniss broke the arena she was taken by peacekepers and tranported to the Capital where she was torchered with Peeta and Joanna. When she was rescued by 13 yes she married Finnick, and then had what, like a week with him before he was sent out on a misson and died. She had to raise her son all alone. Her torcher never ended, she had to be reminded every day that the love of her life passed. She is the most tragic hunger games charecter.

Johanna was definitely the most tragic, though I do think that her ending could’ve been better if she just tried to understand why Katniss broke her promise, and try to appreciate that Snow was still killed shortly after. That friendship didn’t have to end.

I haven’t watched this yet but I’m gonna have to say Haymitch after hearing the list. He went into the quell with twice as many tributes and outlasted them all, almost dying himself. But his hands weren’t clean. At least Annie won by swimming and all that happened to her, was actually to others around her. She didn’t have to take a life. He had two weeks of peace before everyone he loved was killed. And then his whole life was spent going back to that place. Year after year. He may of had a somewhat happy ending but it took a couple of decades to get it. While tragedy struck the others hard, they were young with many years to live out in peace. Except Joanna… I rank her up there almost with Haymitch. Considering everything that happened to her and her loved ones but she too had the rest of her life in front of her to find peace (I hope she did).

Johanna went through the worse when Katniss broke her promise to her about killing Snow.

Haymitch and Joana lost their families after winning the Hunger Games they competed in.

I am unable to choose who had it worse. All of them suffered their own tragedy and it would be cruel to say one persons sufferring is not as bad as anothers. These books had me in tears many times, something that is hard to do normally.The worst part for me is after Prim died and Katniss returned home. Hearing the cat was just to much for her.

I always find the relationship between Katniss and Haymitch so interesting. They both were quite combative to each other, and Peeta is the one to point out that this is because how alike they are. Peeta is easy to mentor, but Katniss is very much like Haymitch, with regards to his reluctance to accept help; and wanting to rely on their own instincts. Also Katniss hates the idea of having to perform for the capitol like she’s at a dog show; however Peeta sees the value in impressing the capitol citizens. It’s so great seeing the relationship build between Katniss and Haymitch. I think Haymitch does view Peeta and Katniss as his surrogate children. Katniss does not see Haymitch as a father figure but she definitely appreciates everything he’s done for them; and values him as a friend.

I also noticed Peta also lost his family as well

Don’t forget Peeta also lost his entire family when District 12 was destroyed by the Capitol.

I think Finnick is a fan favorite which is why his death hurts so many (me included) but Johanna really had it worst. After winning she ended up being alone and after the rebellion, she was still alone and now with PTSD.

When I voted in the poll, I voted Finnick due to not only being prostituted, but also the note you mentioned in your character video of him about how he never saw himself as a good person. He probably wasn't (Not many people in Hunger Games can be seen as saints) but by loving Annie despite her trauma from the games, he showed some positive traits. That being said, I agree with why your choice for most tragic story belongs to Johanna. I've seen what happens when people go through their lives feeling neglected by world, bitter, and all alone, and that's worse than any hell...

Katniss getting in bed with Peeta was difficult to a degree, but it was more for comfort than anything. Both of them suffered nightmares and ptsd. Having someone hold them as they slept was a sense of security. It is incredibly sweet of Peeta to do that. Peeta and Katniss still cared deeply for one another. They were still very close friends. There is a bond that people have when they face something like the hunger games.

I personally think Peeta had the most tragic story. He was forced into the games, heartbroken by Katniss, his family was blown to bits, he was brutally tortured and brainwashed and probably has severe PTSD. However, he does have a happy ending.

I've noticed I never see anyone mention that the most tragic thing about Peetas story is how different he is after the torture. He never really returns. He basically died in the capital & someone else returned. Even after the therapy. He still wasn't the same.

I think I would flip Finnick and Haymitch. Only because I can't imagine sending 23 years worth of teenagers to their death. It also appears Haymitch was alone with that pain & guilt till the 74th games when he met Katniss & Peeta. Finnick had 10 years of mentoring, 6 of which would have been spent being gifted out. (which would seem like a lifetime) but at least he had family and Annie, so he didn't have to be completely alone with his pain & guilt. ITA about Johanna though. I think Jena Malone's portrayal makes us forget how truly tragic Johanna is as a character. I'd love to see a sequel book about her and maybe see her get towards some happy ending. Otherwise, you're correct, we're just left to imagine her alone in district 7 with only her anger and PTSD to comfort her.

I agree on the list, I only think that Finnick had also ptsd from the time he was used by the Capitol. He had to do things against his wil and to do that he had to close down his emotions and forget who he was and what he wanted. He is used as a thing / toy at that moment and must had got the feeling he was worthless. He also had to pretent he liked what all that women did to him.. And he had to deal with everthing that was said about him what wasn't true..

Oh Johanna is definitely the most tragic. Even after everything, she ended up with no one: no family, no real sign of friends, no children or spouse, no purpose or a job that could provide with such a purpose or even hopes for a brighter future... she started with nothing and ended with nothing. At least Haymitch had his geese and his friends, as good as children or even just a niece and a nephew (and Effie if we go by the movie of course), Katniss and Peeta got each other and their babies, Finnick's painful death had a purpose so he became a hero and Annie had a baby to adore and care for after being one of the few characters with perfectly clean hands who also did not die. Johanna gained nothing from all of this. If only we would have known she found a purpose in her job, or had been able to take in and teach children who loved her, or if she had found a new life in district 12 or any other place where she could have a fresh start, any kind of payoff or reward for herself, she wouldn't be nearly as tragic. Sadly, in real life this happens more often than not. Good deeds don't always get a reward. It goes with the theme that wars are not payless endeavors.

3:01 I always wish that she had wrote in the epilogue that he became a grandfather to their children it’s never said, but it seems that in the book don’t think he really interacted with them too much he still kept himself raising wild geese, maybe even being that last part in the book playing with the girl

Love The Hunger Games content keep it up dude respect. To me it was Haimish he survived by using his intelligence but they murdered his familiy just because Snows Pride was hurt so every time he thinks of something smart he is probably reminded of that and he had to train the next "Offerings" just to watch them die again and again.

I agree with the ranking! I will say though, I would add to Peeta's tragedy: Losing his whole family in the bombing of twelve. I still do think Haymitch had to endure tragedy for longer, but that element makes it that much harder to compare the two!

Katniss herself is quite tragic as well, but I agree with your top 5 and their placements

I wonder where Morgan heard about Johanna's ending. Sheesh! I always loved her friendship with Katniss so to find out that she was betrayed by Katniss when she actually killed Coin instead of Snow and had to go back home being all alone, betrayed, and insane just really breaks my heart. :( I wish she knew that Katniss in a way did kill Snow because Snow laughed himself to death, lol, but mainly I wish that she had a much happier ending. :(

I definitely agree with Johanna being the most tragic. She is the only way to possibly continue the Hunger Games story post Mockingjay, where there could be a plot of her going after Katniss to avenge her betrayal.

2:50 don’t forget about Haymitch’s geese! He probably missed taking care of something that hates him lol

Glad to see more hunger games content from your channel! You are one of the only youtubers that gives good analysis on this series and clearly love them a lot

I would possibly switch Haymitch & Finnick only because Finnick's ending and not meeting his son was tragic, but it was on his own accord. He was happy to die for Katiness and a better future whereas Haymitch's desperation for his tributes time and time again, there was little he could do but watch. That's just as psychological.

Coriolanus Snow also had a tragic life. Although he wasn’t tortured, he was manipulated and had to go through a lot of things in his life. He had to witness a terrible war with his family, who died shortly after as well as his unborn sibling, making him only have his cousin Tigris and his grandmother left. He had to go through starvation and people dying as well as cannibalism and desperation. He had to go to school with Dr Gaul and watch as she tortured his friends, avoxes, and people he didn’t know as a lesson to others who might try to cross her. He had to observe his love, Lucy Gray go through the arena with him being the only person keeping her alive. He had to watch Clemensia being bitten by the snakes and going through the terrifying aftermath of it, and having to lie to everyone about her condition. Then he was brought to the districts thinking it was for the rest of his life instead of a few months and going back to the capitol. Then he mentally tore himself apart thinking about Lucy Gray and going as far as trying to kill her because of his insanity. Later, he broke off his connections to his loved ones and family members by firing his cousin and marrying someone that he despised. Then he had to see Katniss go into the arena having similar qualities as Lucy Gray and singing her songs, which must have either made him incredibly angry, sad, or mentally unwell. He had to see her win and against the Capitol’s will as well as Peeta. He also had to kill many people to gain power throughout his years of participating in the government. On top of that he had to watch as his country fell apart and be publicly killed even though Katniss chose him over Coin. He lived a pretty terrible life.

What about Katniss’s mom? She lost her husband in a tragic accident, lost her daughter in a tragic explosion, and hated by her only surviving family member because of her emotions.

I hadn't really thought of who's the most tragic character in the hunger games before, but I believe that I agree with your ranking. They all had extremely tragic stories and it's really really hard to tell who's had it worse. But I have to agree with Johanna, I can't even imagine what her life turned out like after the games, no loved ones, no friends, an addiction, severe ptsd. Finnick was her closest friend after Snow killed her loved ones and he got killed. Katniss was the only other person she could consider her friend and that was ruined as well

5. Annie. She suffered extreme mental illness after the games but still ended up with a son and had Finnick when he was alive. 4. Finnick. He suffered forced prostitution and threat on his family and faced an extremely painful and agonising death, but still while he was alive he had years with the love of his life. 3. Haymitch. He faced dreadful alcoholism and PTSD after the games and watched all the tributes that he trained in the arena die. Lost his whole family but ended healthily and most likely happily. 2. Johanna. She faced traumatic torturing from the capitol and the fear of water. She ended her life alone but she was such a strong woman and still survived everything. 1. Peeta. He faced horrendous and regular beating from his mother throughout his childhood. Was neglected for years, was used by Katniss and the capitol and then captured and tortured terribly by the capitol. His whole family was killed and he faced 2 hunger games. He went on missions that made His life a living hell and lost a leg. Even though he got the happy ending that he deserved, nothing makes up for his tragic life - he will never be the same again.

I honestly think Cato should’ve been on the list I mean he was so close to winning, he lost his district partner, and in the movie he realized he was just as expendable as the other tributes even though he did everything right by the capitals standards, not to mention his death in the books

I recently read the hunger games and love it so I’m really glad your making more videos on it. I also love your Harry Potter videos as it’s one of my favourite series. :)

I have watched the movies and read the books multiple times without the slightest emotion. But this got to me, i could hardly hold back tears after like five minutes

Love the Hunger Games! And your videos, so it's a perfect mix. Thanks for your hard work!

One thing that was never explained was why Johanna refused Snow when she knew her loved ones would pay the price? Kinda wish the author wrote for Johanna to explain why she did that

Honestly Katniss was also one of the most tragic characters🥲had a horrible childhood in poverty, her father dying, her mother depressed, she had to take so much responsibility at a young age. Than she tried everything to lower the chance of prim being choosen & it still happened. Than all the stuff in the arena, her entire district burned, her sister after everythingdying by the one friend she trusted back home, ptsd from the games - she was in SO many & carried all the revolution & "living a symbol" on her shoulders. So much guilt for all the people that died in her name, the district, the bombs...Really hard life but at least she got a good ending🥲 She definetly had ptsd tho too

Here’s my ranking 5. Peeta: he got a happy ending 4. Annie: she still has a son which makes it a semi happy ending 3. Haymitch: he had to watch Katniss and peeta be together and he lost his closest loved ones 2. Johanna: she doesn’t have any loved ones and she has terrible ptsd and got tortured 1. Finnick: he had to watch mags die and he had just gotten married to Annie when he was killed by mutts

I find it very interesting how only one person died out of the five most tragic.

Keep the new hunger games vids coming 🔥I recently watched all of them on Netflix and have watched all your older videos on the Hunger Games

Your break down and conclusions are absolutely correct. ❤ Fantastic job!

I love your Harry Potter and Hunger Games break down videos and was wondering if you would ever do a Divergent one or Maze Runner? I’ve never read either of the books and the movies never interested me but the way you film these videos I would LOVE your take on either.

In the books they say "...because of his youth, they couldn't touch him for a year or two..." when introducing finnicks character. So, unfortunately, finnick was only 15 or 16 when snow started to traffic him

finnick’s death was so unfair. he did so much to keep everyone safe down there only to get left behind. it feels like no one even tried to help him up. it was frustrating watching katnis just stare at him. idk, it mightve been the right thing to do but it was still so frustrating.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire was my favorite movie out of the 4.

In my opinion,i think the most tragic character would be the first ever person who played in the hunger games they had no mentor they had no one to go to for help so lets say there more than died for the time being but for a character shown in the movies/books its definitely Johanna she just cant go in water has no loved ones left its tragic .

Where Haymitch and Peeta are ranked can be debated. However, I thought this was a fair ranking of tragic endings. Johanna's tragic ending was worse than death, in my opinion.

1 Johanna 2 Peeta 3 Haymich 4 Finnick 5 Annie But it was a HARD decision.

I almost cried for Johanna when I heard this. If I was in the Hunger Games, I would make it my first job to befriend her and try to help her as much as I can. The others are still very tragic though, I read the books before before I watched the movies and I started crying at Finnick’s death in the books. When I watched Mockingjay, the whole time I was dreading Finnick’s death, it was worse than I thought.😭 Poor Johanna though.😭😢😭😢😭😢

Johanna's my number one too, she experienced both extreme physical and extreme emotional pain and there wasn't anything happy about her ending. I get sad whenever I think of her and I'm shocked she didn't win the poll. Finnick and Peeta had their most loved ones alive, Haymitch had Peeta and Katniss and he wasn't tortured, as awful as their lives were, I'm still very secure in my choice

Also, with Finnick, he was NEVER listened to or thanked for everything he did for Katniss or the rebellion. He just sacrificed himself over and over and got nothing in return

Your videos are really good and you got me to read all of the Percy Jackson's book 🔥🔥🔥

When Morgan uploads, it always makes my day ❤❤❤

Johanna’s ending is so tragic 😭 I had no idea that was her ending.

This is a very interesting video. I think tragedy is such a difficult thing to quantify, but Johanna probably was at the top for going through everything she did and never really having any semblance of happiness at any time, whereas all of the others did have it at some point, fleeting as it may have been.

I would have voted Joanna in the poll (had I seen it) and I voted her before the video started. She was one of my "favorite" tragic characters from the books and the actress did an excellent job of bringing her character to life on the big screen. After everything she went through I had hoped for at least a not-so-tragic ending for her but unfortunately that didn't happen. Definitely agree with the ranking and the reasons for each of them, you were very thorough and I don't blame you for continuing to bring up the fact that Joanna couldn't even bathe herself, that's not a mindset I would wish even on my worst enemies. Great video, Morgan, stay awesome!

I think it goes like this: 5) Anne 4)finnick 3)Peeta 2)Haymitch 1) Johanna Honorary mention) Katniss (reason being, her dad dying, going into the games twice, the temporary loss of her lover, her mom being mentally absent, her sister dying right infrount of her, the physical pain.) I know it's not as much as the others but it's just what I think.

I know the hunger games in both movies and books was Katniss’ story and mostly POV, and we did see bits of how messed up and traumatised others were especially after being tortured, but I wish in the movies they showed a tad more on how Annie and Johanna were effected. Even now, apart from Finnick saying Annie asks questions to maintain reality, I dunno what the Capitol did to her or how she cooed after, especially then needing to look after a baby. Peter was horribly tortured and we see what added fear stimuli and brainwashing did to him, he’d also need to be grounded in reality for the rest of his life. Johanna was only showed to be have been tortured via her shaved head and addiction to morphlin, no couple of lines on how she was specifically tortured with water, and in the table scene in the last movie where they vote on another hunger games, Johanna is there looking clean and glamorous. Again, she isn’t the focus, but they downplayed her trauma because she seems so strong I guess..?

I feel like Katniss' life is WAY more tragic than Peeta's. She lost her father, essentially lost her mother, and the only way to save her little sister was abandon her. Almost starves, constantly hungry. Her autonomy was taken away and she had to become Peeta's 'lovable girlfriend' and realizes she will have to marry him and even be forced to have his children. She then, as the Mockingjay, which she did NOT ask to be, she had to watch so many people die specifically to get to her. She has to hold the weight of every single death in the war. She becomes a war criminal when she kills Coin to prevent future Hunger Games, and to top it off SHE LOSES HER LITTLE SISTER. Prim was the only reason Katniss went through any of that. She easily could have run away a long time ago and lived in the woods. I'm saying Katniss comes right after Johanna. She was never 'physically tortured' (other than what she experienced in the games) but she was constantly psychologically tortured. She was just a kid.

I love the content and your an awesome content creator and very interesting perspectives keep up the great work

Great video!

People who only watched the movies probably didn't realize everything that Johanna had gone through. Also, some people might not have voted for her as most tragic because she gave off such negative vibes in the movies.

I know that they are a lot of work for you, but it would be awesome if you made videos about all the differences between the hunger games books and movies like you did with Harry Potter. I love those videos and I think that these would be really popular as well. Love your channel!

I just saw your video on Haymich (however you spell it). I had great timing.

Love the hunger games videos!!!

I agree with your ranking. Everything you said about each one, their years of happiness (if the had some), the torture they were put through, and the aftermath.. I end up coming with the same conclusion!

from least to most tragic: Peeta, Annie, Finnick, Johanna then Haymitch. Peeta got a happy ending with Katniss and had two children. He worked through his trauma thanks to Katniss. I really don't think she used him as much as people thought. Yes, she did what she did to survive but in the process she got to know Peeta better after she went to the river to find him after Rue died. She risked her life to go get Peeta the medicine he needed at the cornucopia. If she was just using him would she have cared what happened to him? Peeta brought out Katniss' better nature. They comforted each other after their first Hunger Games. Johanna and Haymitch are tied when it comes to losing their family because of Snow, but I think Haymitch was punished because he used the weakness of the force field against his last opponent was just petty. In the arena you use the resources you have and that's what Haymitch did. Johanna's loss was tragic. She lost her family because she didn't want to be prostituted by Snow then years later she had to go back into the arena and face new horrors only to be captured by the Capital after Katniss blew the force field. Johanna was tortured probably a lot worse than the others because Snow knew she hated him for killing her family. She had every reason to join the rebellion against him. I really don't think Johanna should have blamed Katniss for killing Coin instead of Snow. Snow was already close to death. Coin was just Snow 2.0 and if Coin had no qualms about sending Peeta to the Capital to kill Katniss then she would have had no qualms about tossing Johanna into another arena if Johanna was a liability to her. Johanna chose to go to her home district and live out the rest of her life bitter and alone. She had choices once Snow and Coin were dead, but she chose a solitary life. Heck she could have ended up with Haymitch (lol). Johanna chose holding a grudge against Katniss to actually getting some peace. Every time I watch the movies I cannot watch Finnick getting attacked by the mutts. I really wish he had made it out. I actually wished he didn't join up with Katniss and the others in the Capital to fight. He would have been able to help Peeta in District 13 and hopefully keep Coin from using Peeta as a weapon against Katniss. I didn't want Annie to lose him, but he lives on in their son and that's why Annie's story is less tragic.

I agree with your ranking! For another video idea, have you ever heard of the tales of the hunger games? It is created by another KZfaqr, who created videos for every single hunger games as well imagined more hunger games after the 75th games. I think he has over 100 hunger games created, and it really expands the universe!

Yeah. I agree with this. I initially was hesitant based on the premise, but wow. Some good points were made and it’s always good to learn new things, even if sad AF

You didn’t mentioned that peeta lost his whole family through the bombing of district 12.

Thank you for posting the video. Here is my list of tragic "The Hunger Games" characters 1) Haymitch Abernathy, 2) Finnick (he was pushed into a sex slavery because of his good looks), 3) Johanna Mason, 4) Annie Cresta, and 5) Peeta.

I just had this convo w my partner the other day! We said the same about Joanna, she had the most "glory" in her games but the absolute worst after her game. She deserved better!

I completely agree with your ranking. It makes sense after pointing out everything that each character went through. I love Johanna and i felt so bad for her after reading the books.

TO THE PEOPLE wondering why katnis is not on the list let me ell you why. Was katniss rapped for years like other tributes? NO. Was she constantly protected? YES. Did she live in the end while other innocent tributes died because her rebellion ? YES. Did her dam rebels kill other innocent tributes. YES. Maybe this helps you see why katniss is not on this list

Would love your take on the Divergent Movies. You are astounding at what you do!!!!

Yessssss bring on the hunger games content

I kinda wish Jhoana could have a little spinoff story so she could fight off and finally surpass her fear of water and then forgiving KATNISS hope the writer does that
