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.
Yeah like Peeta goes full on trainer mode and it’s nothing on the actor but I feel like the movies cut out a lot of scenes that really show off Peeta’s strengths
@@Dai.Natreacts Agreed, to people who haven't read the books, it may seem weird to see katniss and peeta show the skills they do with out the context of peeta whipping her and haymitch into shape before the second games and the military training she goes thorough in the mockingjay books, that they don't show in the upcoming movies.
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.
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.
I think that they were concerned that Peeta might "upstage" Katniss. They seemed to want to make her appear to be some what "stronger" than the man... I'm not sure..
Really great comment! I always forget Peeta lost his leg when I rewatch these (I read the books before the films came out) Also, if anyone is interested in more book stuff and the relationships (no spoilers) it isnt supposed to be a romance story, it was just marketed like that probably to get more readers since its aimed at young girls (says a lot about us because we too, want a romance just how the capitol does in the first movie). The point of the books was that its set in a dystopian world, there isnt always a happy ending in real life, her winning in movie 1 wasnt a happy ending because it gave her ptsd, took peetas leg and killed Rue. The author wasn't a fan of fans rooting for one relationship (for example team jacob or team edward) either. Katniss did not want to be a hero, she just wanted to help her sister and nothing she did was for the purpose of taking down the government. The berries werent a choice made to inspire the country to revolt but her personal choice to not play along and kill someone (Peeta) for their entertainment. Its conflicting because even us, in the first movie that is, are confused about whether or not they're really pretending lol Katniss is deeply traumatized as we see in this movie so it isnt about 'who is better, Peeta or Gale?' but rather 'who isnt the absolute worst?' which reflects the society they live in: making the best with what theyve got in the worst of times. I also feel like theres a whole lot of trauma bonding. Even Katniss says to Gale, in this movie, that there are more important things than Gale being jealous about her fake relationship with Peeta. And Haymitch says to Katniss "Nobody ever wins the games" as well. So i guess, my point is just that the books arent written to be perfect and happy. Sort of like 1984. Its what I love about these movies and the books, it totally delivered much more than I thought it would and it was able to touch on subjects without directly spelling it out for you, it wants you to do the deep thinking. In life in general, you can't have the light without the dark. It isnt that relevant to the reaction but just something to think about.
@@breezymango4113 My suspicion is that, after Twilight, they wanted to have a more plausible "Love triangle" than the books had, so that they could have "Team Peeta" and "team Gale" as opposed to the books, which were much more about whether or not Katniss would allow herself to love anyone. So they undercut Peeta at every point. Their take on the bread scene was so bad that almost every reactor misses the point, and I talked to someone IRL and told him what really happened and he stared, dumbfounded, and said, "I'd never suspect that!" And yet, Katniss's behavior at every turn is based on her admiration, almost idolization, of Peeta, because she feels that he keeps saving her life and holds onto his soul, while she feels like she's always owing him. The movies did really well, actually, but they made some really odd decisions, maybe for the sake of simplification that doesn't really work with the story--like missing that Caesar is actually really attentive to the tributes and genuinely likes them, particularly Peeta, or that Katniss actually likes and respects Effie, or... well, things that come in the next two movies that unmuddy the waters a little too much, making certain things Katniss canonically does seem... weird.
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!! :)
yes they def should had explain the 3, okay that makes sense because we wondered why they didn’t try to kill anyone in district 12 when they did the 3’s like they did for District 11. We are so happy that you are enjoying our content! Really means a lot to us!! We can’t wait to watch the last two movies !
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
It always ticked me off that they never explained the significance of the mockingjay in the films. It explains so much why it was a symbol of rebellion and why it was such a taboo symbol in all of Panem!
@@raymondteodosbandlabvlog1676 SAME! I had already read the books, but when watching the first film with anyone who hadn't, there was so much that was unclear, especially the salute. And considering how huge the salute is, you'd think they would have at the very least, given the background info.
@@kaye596 I think as readers we've taken a LOT in the film for granted. We were able to follow the film concisely and knew exactly what was going on. Watching this reaction video was a real eye opener for me as to how much information could have been presented better to include ALL audiences - readers and non-readers alike!
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.
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
@Dai.Natreacts in the first quarter quell the districts had to elect their own tributes. The 2nd had double the number of tributes from each district which is the one Haymitch won.
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.
@@surkit6465 Thank you! We noticed that it was only showing 360p, don’t know why. We are still new to this, if you have any suggestions please let us know. We will try a different settings on our camera to see if that works, hopefully it does.
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!!!
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
@@Dai.Natreacts in the book she wasn’t able to walk through well without a cane or a staff or something so in the book as long as they were walking slow, she was able to walk with a staff and they do walks though shortly after Peeta was revived
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.
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.
It's selfish and Gale is just inherently a selfish person. He feels entitled to Katniss. At least with Peeta, despite having feelings for Katniss, he doesn't force himself on her and is also there for her emotionally.
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
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! 😊
It’s really fun watching your reactions because I’m in the middle of re-reading the books right now and it’s so cool to revisit that film and book comparisons!
Yeah like we understand that not every detail can be in the movie (that’s why the books are always better) but certain things should have been explained! but i guess like you said it was tailored for the book fans who already had prior knowledge. I’m glad tho that you guys pretty much filled us in on the things we had questions on!
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.
did they ever explain how Haymitch won his game that made them so mad? Idk if we missed that part or if it’s just in the book? or if it’s in Mocking Jay(if it is don’t tell us lol we haven’t watched it yet)
@@Dai.Natreacts it gets explained in the second book. essentially, haymitch makes it to the final two and instead of killing the other tribute himself, he uses the force field surrounding the arena to his advantage. he tricks her into throwing her axe at him while he's right in front of the force field, then drops low as the weapon bounces back at the other tribute, killing her. he'd found out about this effect at an earlier point in his games. so, like katniss with the berries, he outsmarted the capitol and didn't play after their rules. they view it as an act of defiance, and that is that. though, this is not why they kill his entire family, they started with just one person as a warning to tell them they mean business. other actions of his post-games are the reason he ended up entirely alone, in the end. the next book touches on it in more detail and the movie mentions it but you'd have to look for it to make the connection back to haymitch so i won't say any more than this. i gotta say, though, the significance of the force field for both the second and third quarter quell is a beautiful thing of irony. the thing meant to contain them and keep them trapped ending up the thing that allowes them to survive and escape? what a cosmic joke that must feel like to snow.
oh wow thank you for info. It is crazy!!! they used this force field to make these people fight for their lives with no way out and it ended up helping them survive at the end. Can’t wait to watch Mocking Jay
@@Dai.Natreacts There is at least one fan made youtube video of Haymitch game. Maybe search for it after you're done with the series, so you don't risk getting spoiled by the search results. His was the 50th game, so just like this quarter quell it got extra hype and attention. They wanted spectacular but got anticlimatic when the last death was by force field exploit, instead. Haymitch was mortally wounded, himself, at that point. So it's not like he had much left in him, other then hitting the ground, but President Snow still punished him by going for those he loved. There are many other dramatized fan made videos of the Hungergames, too. Like Joanna's and Finnicks. They are pretty good.
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.
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.
She won the 11th games, given that the prequel: "The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds" is about a young Snow mentoring in the 10th games. In fact, the film comes out this year or so is planned.
@Dai N Nat Reacts Peetas dad was nicer than his wife but she was the boss of the house. And Peeta was the youngest of 3. One of his older brothers could've volunteered for him at the reaping but didn't.
@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
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.
Haymitch was the only winner of the Hunger Games from district 12 ever, until Katniss and Peeta. I think you meant to say that he was young at 16, not that he was the youngest from district 12. In the 74 years of the Hunger Games’ existence, only Haymitch, Katniss and Peeta have won from district 12. That’s why Effie only was one name to pull from the bowl representing girls and only two from the bowl for guys for the 75th game.
@@pamelahofman1785 In the movie Haymitch mentions there was another winner from district 12 before him, I also request you read Ballad of songbirds and snakes which is a prequel to the hunger games book, which follows Snows story and rise to power. Lucy Gray Baird was the FIRST district 12 winner, winning the 10th games with the help of young Snow. She also composed the hanging tree song Katniss sings in mokingjay and if i'm not wrong she's the original owner of the mokingjay pin Katniss wears. Lucy " disappeared" a short while after she won and is probably dead and that is why in the 75th hunger games reaping, Katniss' name was the only name in the females reaping bowl.
😅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
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
and it is partly inspired by gladiators that’s why a lot of capitol citizens have roman/greek names: brutus, enobaria, caesar, euphemia (effie). the series was inspired when the author was channel flipping between reality tv and war coverage
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 💔
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.
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.
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
They do though in Mockingjay jay part 1. Finnic talks about it in one of 13's prop videos. The video itself is playing in the background of another scene, and it's loud enough that you can hear it.
@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
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).
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.
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!
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).
No, there was another girl who won, although she "disappeared". Lucy Gray Baird was the FIRST district 12 winner ever. She's talked about in the Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds and Haymitch mentions her (not by gender) briefly in the movie too.😃
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
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.
they should show them training in the movie!
Yeah like Peeta goes full on trainer mode and it’s nothing on the actor but I feel like the movies cut out a lot of scenes that really show off Peeta’s strengths
@@Dai.Natreacts Agreed, to people who haven't read the books, it may seem weird to see katniss and peeta show the skills they do with out the context of peeta whipping her and haymitch into shape before the second games and the military training she goes thorough in the mockingjay books, that they don't show in the upcoming movies.

That dude is so petty!!! I genuinely hate him.
Katniss also keeps hunting because she's trying to provide for her whole district, not just her own family.
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.

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.
yeahhh reading you guys comments Peeta is completely different in the movies than in the book!! Wish they showed these sides of Peeta in the movie
I think that they were concerned that Peeta might "upstage" Katniss. They seemed to want to make her appear to be some what "stronger" than the man... I'm not sure..
Yeah, she talk about how gale is fire and she has enough fire. Peeta is the sun, warmth and comforting. If I remember correctly.
Really great comment! I always forget Peeta lost his leg when I rewatch these (I read the books before the films came out)
Also, if anyone is interested in more book stuff and the relationships (no spoilers) it isnt supposed to be a romance story, it was just marketed like that probably to get more readers since its aimed at young girls (says a lot about us because we too, want a romance just how the capitol does in the first movie).

Its conflicting because even us, in the first movie that is, are confused about whether or not they're really pretending lol
Katniss is deeply traumatized as we see in this movie so it isnt about 'who is better, Peeta or Gale?' but rather 'who isnt the absolute worst?' which reflects the society they live in: making the best with what theyve got in the worst of times. I also feel like theres a whole lot of trauma bonding.
Even Katniss says to Gale, in this movie, that there are more important things than Gale being jealous about her fake relationship with Peeta. And Haymitch says to Katniss "Nobody ever wins the games" as well. So i guess, my point is just that the books arent written to be perfect and happy. Sort of like 1984.
Its what I love about these movies and the books, it totally delivered much more than I thought it would and it was able to touch on subjects without directly spelling it out for you, it wants you to do the deep thinking. In life in general, you can't have the light without the dark.

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!! :)
yes they def should had explain the 3, okay that makes sense because we wondered why they didn’t try to kill anyone in district 12 when they did the 3’s like they did for District 11.
We are so happy that you are enjoying our content! Really means a lot to us!! We can’t wait to watch the last two movies !
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
Oh woooowww, thank you so much for the insight !! and We appreciated the support!
It always ticked me off that they never explained the significance of the mockingjay in the films. It explains so much why it was a symbol of rebellion and why it was such a taboo symbol in all of Panem!
@@raymondteodosbandlabvlog1676 i agree !! we would have never known if it wasn’t for this comment!
@@raymondteodosbandlabvlog1676 SAME! I had already read the books, but when watching the first film with anyone who hadn't, there was so much that was unclear, especially the salute. And considering how huge the salute is, you'd think they would have at the very least, given the background info.
@@kaye596 I think as readers we've taken a LOT in the film for granted. We were able to follow the film concisely and knew exactly what was going on. Watching this reaction video was a real eye opener for me as to how much information could have been presented better to include ALL audiences - readers and non-readers alike!
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.
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
ahhh ok!! makes more sense now, thanks!
@Dai.Natreacts in the first quarter quell the districts had to elect their own tributes. The 2nd had double the number of tributes from each district which is the one Haymitch won.
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.
Good video but you might wanna try increase the video quality, its capped at 360p for some reason, probably due to your settings somewhere.
Heymitch family was killed after he won the games because of how he won it
@@surkit6465 Thank you! We noticed that it was only showing 360p, don’t know why. We are still new to this, if you have any suggestions please let us know. We will try a different settings on our camera to see if that works, hopefully it does.
@@smdownh9 smh so messed up!! we can’t wait to see how they are going to kick Snows ass! They need to put him in the hunger games!
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!!!
yeah I was not expecting that little twist!! 😂😂
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
I wish Mags would had at least tried to run instead of going toward the fog
@@Dai.Natreacts in the book she wasn’t able to walk through well without a cane or a staff or something so in the book as long as they were walking slow, she was able to walk with a staff and they do walks though shortly after Peeta was revived
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.
oh wowwww yess! I was thinking where was her father during the press run!!Didnt even think of that. I truly hated that part when Rue died 😢
I mean he kinda started a riot, the capitol killed for way less.
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.")
smh, this movie is so crazy!! can’t wait to see how it ends
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.
Exactly!!! He was being so annoying with that
It's selfish and Gale is just inherently a selfish person. He feels entitled to Katniss. At least with Peeta, despite having feelings for Katniss, he doesn't force himself on her and is also there for her emotionally.
"I don't think they can send somebody in twice, that´s against the rules"....Ohhhhh if you only knew
yeah we found out quick how wrong we were 😂😂 if they want you gone they are not going by any rules
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
She thought the capitol came and got everyone from the arena after the explosion
yeah we thought it was the capitol that picked her up too!
"PETA soft as pita bread" lmfaooooooooo The best reactions videos!
😂😂 Thank you we appreciate it!
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! 😊
It’s really fun watching your reactions because I’m in the middle of re-reading the books right now and it’s so cool to revisit that film and book comparisons!
Yeah like we understand that not every detail can be in the movie (that’s why the books are always better) but certain things should have been explained! but i guess like you said it was tailored for the book fans who already had prior knowledge. I’m glad tho that you guys pretty much filled us in on the things we had questions on!
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.
did they ever explain how Haymitch won his game that made them so mad? Idk if we missed that part or if it’s just in the book? or if it’s in Mocking Jay(if it is don’t tell us lol we haven’t watched it yet)
@@Dai.Natreacts it gets explained in the second book. essentially, haymitch makes it to the final two and instead of killing the other tribute himself, he uses the force field surrounding the arena to his advantage. he tricks her into throwing her axe at him while he's right in front of the force field, then drops low as the weapon bounces back at the other tribute, killing her. he'd found out about this effect at an earlier point in his games.
so, like katniss with the berries, he outsmarted the capitol and didn't play after their rules. they view it as an act of defiance, and that is that. though, this is not why they kill his entire family, they started with just one person as a warning to tell them they mean business. other actions of his post-games are the reason he ended up entirely alone, in the end. the next book touches on it in more detail and the movie mentions it but you'd have to look for it to make the connection back to haymitch so i won't say any more than this.
i gotta say, though, the significance of the force field for both the second and third quarter quell is a beautiful thing of irony. the thing meant to contain them and keep them trapped ending up the thing that allowes them to survive and escape? what a cosmic joke that must feel like to snow.
oh wow thank you for info. It is crazy!!! they used this force field to make these people fight for their lives with no way out and it ended up helping them survive at the end. Can’t wait to watch Mocking Jay
@@Dai.Natreacts There is at least one fan made youtube video of Haymitch game. Maybe search for it after you're done with the series, so you don't risk getting spoiled by the search results. His was the 50th game, so just like this quarter quell it got extra hype and attention. They wanted spectacular but got anticlimatic when the last death was by force field exploit, instead. Haymitch was mortally wounded, himself, at that point. So it's not like he had much left in him, other then hitting the ground, but President Snow still punished him by going for those he loved. There are many other dramatized fan made videos of the Hungergames, too. Like Joanna's and Finnicks. They are pretty good.
Wow, would love a link for that
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.
he lost his leg from infection not the mutts
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.
One of the best movie sequels (and book) period. Words cannot explain my undying love for this masterpiece 👏🏾
Yea this movie is fire!!!! 🔥
“Peeta’s soft like Pita Bread” 🤣🤣🤣⚰️
😂😂😂
I’m seriously so happy YT recommended you guys! Very laid back and funny as hell! *subscribed*
Thank you!! We are so glad that you enjoy our content!
Can I just say, I love how sweet y'all are to each other.
Right? 🥰
Thank you guys 💙
19:15 Cesar literally said “CUT THE CAMERAS”😂😂🖐🏼
laughing im watching while wrapped up in the same exact poinsettia christmas blanket!
I laughed when you said, "was that fckin Peeta" 😂
😂😂 thought he was gonna run into the force field again like come on man !!
If I remember my facts correctly Mags was the winner of the 10th hunger game. So she was at least 80 years old, here.
she was so sweet, hated that she volunteered herself!
She won the 11th games, given that the prequel: "The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds" is about a young Snow mentoring in the 10th games. In fact, the film comes out this year or so is planned.
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.
peeta doesn’t have his mom as someone that he loves is because in the books it’s shown that his mother is abusive
oooooh where is his father? and i’m sure he doesn’t have any siblings or they would have showed it
@Dai N Nat Reacts Peetas dad was nicer than his wife but she was the boss of the house. And Peeta was the youngest of 3. One of his older brothers could've volunteered for him at the reaping but didn't.
@@MikaIsDead ohhhh wooow
Mom beat Peeta when he burned the bread that he tossed to Katniss.
“It’s going to be a giant mouse” 😂😂
I love it when you do the Charlie Murphy, Wrong, Wrong. 🤣🤣
lmao, Charlie Murphy was the man!!
They were supposed to get resources, but they were pissed at them for "cheating" them out of one winner and were sending spoiled food.
smhhhh
@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! 😂😂😂
lmao they did her hair on their front stoop too lol
@@Dai.Natreacts 😭😭😭
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.
Haymitch was not the first District 12 victor, it was Lucy Gray Baird who won the 10th games (Read ballad of songbirds and snakes).
Thanks for the info !! 😊definitely answers some of the questions we had in mind
I think Finnick was the youngest ever to win at 14. Although Haymitch may have been the youngest at the time he won.
Haymitch was the only winner of the Hunger Games from district 12 ever, until Katniss and Peeta. I think you meant to say that he was young at 16, not that he was the youngest from district 12. In the 74 years of the Hunger Games’ existence, only Haymitch, Katniss and Peeta have won from district 12. That’s why Effie only was one name to pull from the bowl representing girls and only two from the bowl for guys for the 75th game.
@@pamelahofman1785 In the movie Haymitch mentions there was another winner from district 12 before him, I also request you read Ballad of songbirds and snakes which is a prequel to the hunger games book, which follows Snows story and rise to power. Lucy Gray Baird was the FIRST district 12 winner, winning the 10th games with the help of young Snow. She also composed the hanging tree song Katniss sings in mokingjay and if i'm not wrong she's the original owner of the mokingjay pin Katniss wears. Lucy " disappeared" a short while after she won and is probably dead and that is why in the 75th hunger games reaping, Katniss' name was the only name in the females reaping bowl.
😅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
lolll oh sh*t!! don’t worry we are still gonna be here, go home ! 😂 Thank you so much for the support!
@@Dai.Natreacts I couldn’t stop watching. I’m known for working late.
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
and it is partly inspired by gladiators that’s why a lot of capitol citizens have roman/greek names: brutus, enobaria, caesar, euphemia (effie). the series was inspired when the author was channel flipping between reality tv and war coverage
@@marywilka8769 and Battle Royal.
Lmaoooo bruh what old person hurt y’all??? Y’all was on Mags head whole time she was on screeennnn😂😂😂
😂😂😂 we just finished watching a horror movie with killer grandparents....we thought hunger games was pulling the old innocent grandma trick lmao
@@Dai.Natreacts 😂😂😂lmaooo I
Yay you guys did it !!!! Another great reaction your edits are hilarious 😂 next movie should be hush or the sixth sense
😂😂glad you enjoyed it!! Okay we will add the to the list !
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 💔
Oh man, technical difficulties suck but I really appreciate you guys finishing it up on the iPhone!
We appreciate you for sticking around till the end! lol
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!
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it ❤
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.
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
the sores are nastyyyyy lol, i wish they explained it that part in the movie tho
They do though in Mockingjay jay part 1. Finnic talks about it in one of 13's prop videos. The video itself is playing in the background of another scene, and it's loud enough that you can hear it.
@@cosesu8929 you’re right! Totally forgot!
"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.
😂😂 true
@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
Santa! (Donald Sutherland.) 😆
I was waiting for this one!! Hell yeah!!
glad you enjoyed it!
cant wait for the rest of the reactions
we can’t wait to watch and record it!
New subie, glad I found yall. I'm enjoying yall's channel!
Thank you soooo much! 💙
Awesome reaction,3 hours early✨
thank you !!!
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).
No it's not a LITERAL train. It's a figure of speech. They have mansions you saw them living in at the beginning.
I believe these were Philp C Hoffman's last movie. RIP. He passed right after the filming of the 4th movie.
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. :)
Thank you!! will definitely do that !
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.
Peeta Forever!
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!
yes Catching fire was a good one, it’s between that one and Mocking Jay part 1 for me!!
We loved Cinna!! So mad he had to die 😢
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!!!!
We sure did!! Thank you for the support! We are glad you are enjoying it ! We will add that movie to the list !
Dude nice shirt where can I get one like that?
hey i got the shirt in Beacons Closet in BK
She’s gonna make it LOL still sad though😢
I’m with Gale. He always talked about wanting to fight and I get it
New sub
Thanks for subbing!! Welcome to our Channel :)
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).
No, there was another girl who won, although she "disappeared". Lucy Gray Baird was the FIRST district 12 winner ever. She's talked about in the Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds and Haymitch mentions her (not by gender) briefly in the movie too.😃
@@dionnel8882 Okay, Katniss is the only living "winner," then. Thanks for the clarification. :)
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
We would of died asap 🤣🤣
