Keep in mind, Gale wants to make sure Katniss has a winning mentality. Peeta is a 16 year old who KNOWS he’s going to die because there’s no way he’d choose to survive over Katniss. Of course he’s crying. Although, the love story angle was Peeta’s strategy to make Katniss more likeable to the vapid Capitol audience. Just because he wasn’t all testosterone-fueled killer, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t working to protect the protagonist.

Cato being given a moment of humanity and sympathy at the end is so important and I think it's something in the film adds that really enriches the story. Step back from the thrill ride of a good drama, and let yourself remember that every single child there, including all of the "careers", were victims. The girl that Thresh killed who seemed like a psychopath--she was 14 or 15. Cato was what, 17? Collins does a great job of making some of them vicious and hateable, which is great for a story, but Cato's history is just as devastating as Katniss's. He was indoctrinated to be a child soldier his entire life, given a lie that this would glorify and give meaning to his life, and then when he gets there and he commits the atrocities he's been primed to commit... He's faced with the brutal realization that he never had a chance. Someone else was more skilled. And now he's going to die meaninglessly, a tribute like all the rest, his flesh fed to mutations while the capital cheers. It's a dark book.

The capitol in the book is SAVAGE and ruthless - i didnt feel that with the movie.

Kato realizing that he was a walking corpse who only serves as entertainment for the Capital at the end is pretty perfect. Not sure why giving voice to that realization makes him a b**ch. Also the ridiculousness of hating either Gale or Peta has always been insane to me. They're just kids in a totalitarian state that like a girl and struggle to survive. One wants to fight. The other has to fight. And they both show how they feel about Katniss throughout that madness the best they can. Confusion, chaos, and occasional selfishness is all understandable. The only thing more ridiculous than hating either of them is folks that criticize Katniss for getting close with both and struggling to decide. She's a kid that is so tormented that she can't even come close to figuring out how she feels. That's even more realistic.🤷😂

Yeah, there's a lot of misunderstanding about Peeta here. And while Peeta is one of my favourites in the series, I say this because contextually it should be pretty obvious. Everything he did was to save Katniss and not himself. If you look at his actions from start to finish they are always to either help Katniss, whether it's training separately from Katniss to make a plan with Haymitch followed by revealing his secret (what would be the reason to do that other than to make her more likeable), talking her skills up, joining the careers when he already has a target on his back, fighting off Cato to protect Katniss and almost getting mortally wounded, not even attempting to kill Katniss at the end even though they were in close range and he could have easily grabbed her and killed her (straight away he tosses his weapon aside and, like you said, unravels his tourniquet to speed up the process). He does a lot for her in the book but as we see scenes from Katniss' perspective, and she is also confused about his motives, you have to look at his journey overall. As far as your love for Gale, Gale is a nice guy but he's literally in 1 (briefly 2) chapters. He's a stand-up guy looking out for his family and Katniss' but we don't see any more than that. I do tend to find a lot of male reactors really love Gale in the beginning tho. On a completely different topic, the reason they pull the bodies out is not because of the mutts (although they can use them if they want to) they always pull them out due to [a] previous tribute resorting to cannibalism. 😧

I also (unfortunately) wonder whether they feel Gale is somewhat more "worthy" of a choice because he knew and protected Katniss for longer, as if that somehow entitles him to her love in return? 😬 Hope not but that's the vibe I often get, tbh I think most people end up team Peeta by the end (cause how can you not???) but I can't recall ever being team Gale myself?

Gale would only yap about the Capitol in the woods with Katniss bc they were careful and knew just how easily they could get killed for letting something stupid slip.

Unfortunately the book(s) and movie(s) do differ from each other in some important aspects but the movies are still really good thanks to Susanne Collins being involved in the production.

Gale was actually a really decent guy, he doesn’t deserve the hate he gets…but Peeta is the 🐐he was willing to give up everything for Katniss, he was so good and kind hearted when he really had no reason to be. Peeta was crying after the reaping because he knew 100% that he was going to die, he knew he would die so Katniss could have a chance to live. He stopped training with her as part of his strategy, he humiliated himself by confessing his long time crush on her in front of the country, he teamed up with the careers which must have been terrifying, squared off with Cato to save Katniss, was left slowly dying by a stream with nothing so Haymitch could give Katniss any sponsor gifts they may have got, he pulled the tourniquet off to bleed to death so Katniss would live. He also never once pressured Katniss or required her to return his feelings unlike Gale…he was hurt and embarrassed after he found out it was all a lie, but he sucked it up and dealt with it alone.

Just wait on your thoughts about gale. Also, Peeta trained separately because he already resigned himself to die because katniss had the better odds and he cared about her. And the movie had haymitch say “I can sell a love story” to imply that from the book- they could get more sponsors which would increases katniss’s survival chances. He was willing to die for katniss. Because if she died, so would her family. I recommend a second reading at some point to really analyze it. First read through, at least for me, I’m just there for the ride. Second read through things will pop out more. What grinds my gears is that the mayors daughter was the one who gave katniss the mocking jay pin in the book. My theory is that she was going to volunteer initially to be the “mocking jay”. But in the book, katniss responded to volunteer very quickly that the other girl couldn’t. This will make more sense when you finish the series. I get why they left it out. It’s not really important, but it adds another layer to the story.

A person who's watching or reading the HG for the first time is definitely not going to catch up with everything and it's okay. If someone new is going on the journey of the hunger games, let them make their own opinion characters without constantly warning them about what's going to happen in the future.

About Peeta- His skill is charm. He can’t fight or hunt, but he can charm people. Katniss is unlikable. We the reader like her because we are in her mind, but from the outside she is an unsociable, taciturn psycho. Peeta is her balance. He charms Haymitch into helping Katniss, the capitol into rooting for her (the romantic relationship), and the other tributes into not immediately killing her. Katniss barely notices because she’s in her own world, but while she keeps them alive in the arena, Peeta keeps them alive outside it. I do wish the movies had portrayed that dynamic better.

You’ll learn in the prequel the true reason they remove the bodies from the arena, and it didn’t start because of the mutations. Thats just a bonus. And they didn’t turn Cato ‘into a bitch’. They simply showed that as brutal as he was he is simply still a scared kid.

Love seeing a new reader’s perspective on the movies! I read the books so long ago and I’ve seen the movies so many times that I feel like I glaze over a lot of the things that were changed. Loved that you mentioned taking the bodies out! I was also surprised when they didn’t show the body removal because I remember that part so vividly from the books. I remember her talking about how they had to start doing that so starving tributes wouldn’t resort to cannibalism and It was so casually horrifying that it really stayed in my mind. I guess there was no real way to express that in the movie without explicitly saying it? But at least in the case of the mutts, I think a quick scene of the capital receiving their bodies could’ve been done to at least imply the mutts were the tributes. They don’t even try explain it at all. Same with the three-finger-salute and I really feel the movie missed here. It’s such an important symbol and the book talks so much about the meaning in district twelve and then growth into a symbol of the rebellion. Anyone who didn’t read the books would never have the same understanding of what that symbol means. Generally I really like the movies though and I’m glad you’re enjoying the Hunger Games so much!

If I’m honest, the movie really didn’t do the book justice. It was so obviously rushed, had they paced it and including some scenes that made it more exasperating, it would’ve been beautiful. I admired how the book explained her Dad and the struggle she went through becoming her family’s bread winner and the sisterly love she had, the resentment towards her mother. All of that would’ve made it great especially dragging out Kato’s death. Even the history of Peeta & Katniss could’ve been done so much better

Did it not bother you that the gifts at the cornucopia were all the same size in the movie, but in the book they made a point to say that each gift was a different size depending on what they needed in that moment? It still bothers me to this day.

THANK YOU for reading the book and then watching the movie. All these people who watch the movie and are asking questions about what different things mean, I'm like um just read the book...read the book...read the book...oh you want to know what that means? it's very clear IN THE BOOK!!! Also, I always rooted for Gale too. I think it's because you get so attached to their relationship in the book vs you only see him, what, 3 times in the movie before she gets sent off?

I just finished reading Catching Fire for the first time, can’t wait to watch your video! I agree, I really liked a few of the deviations - specifically the point of view from the people watching. Seeing the game makers making the choices. I’ve seen these movies MANY times, just now reading the books. I’m very excited but sad to get to Mockingjay because then it will be over.

I recommend waiting at least a week to two weeks between reading the book and watching the movie. It helps when watching because if you’ve forgotten some details in that time you’re not looking for it in the movie. They can only keep so much when adapting. Also, this goes for any book adaptation. Generally I enjoy the movies a lot more that way

I saw the movies first, then read the books and I'm also a person who is real big on movies following books. (Harry Potter and Game of Thrones made me so mad I didn't even finish watching them) So I love ur inputs about the books. Personally, I think the books are better. And idk why everyone hates Gale. Gale isn't bad. Peta gave more for katniss, and gave without regard to himself from day one. Gale had the advantage of having an actual relationship (friends) with her before and knew her better. And the two in the books represented the internal struggle for katniss. Rebellion or conformity. Being fueled by anger or embracing kindness/love. Neither of them are bad people. Just different. I love Gale. I actually like Gale more than I like peta. Katniss kept having to save peta and he was slow, loud, and just altogether more of a liability for katniss through the whole series. Gale was self sufficient and loyal and would have been (and later proved to be) a much better help practically speaking.

You sentiment about the deviation where Peeta knows the whole time that Katniss is playing pretend at falling in love is so accurate. I’d watch the movies a few times before I ever read and I never understood why he was so mad at her in catching fire. When I read the books and it all made sense. I think movies are pretty good adaptation except that part

9:37 The “zero chemistry between these two” really surprised me, seeing as I started rooting for them since the first time I’ve watched this movie with zero previous book knowledge! 😮 I guess everything is subjective in this world 😂 But I enjoyed your reaction, also cool that you took the time to read the book first before every movie reaction!
