Hunger Games: 30 Things You Wouldn’t Know If You Didn’t Read the Books

recently I've been making Harry Potter videos about things movie fans wouldn't know and you guys seem to like them a lot so I thought it would be fun to do the same thing with The Hunger Games books and movies especially with the announcement of the new Hunger Games book and movie being developed make sure you stay to the end of the video because I saved some of the best plot lines for last also if you enjoy this video hit that like button it will greatly help the Channel with the algorithm and if you like what you see hit that subscribe button and you can also follow me on all of my other social medias all of which are linked down below and all of which have similar content that I make here on this channel now that I've said that let's get the video started number one District 11 sent cat in his bread for helping Rue the film showed the close bond between Katniss and Ru and they also added the scene where District 11 gives the three-finger salute to her however in the novel they showed their appreciation for catniss in a different way sending her a parachute that had bread inside normally it's cat Capital citizens who send the tributes these sort of things to increase the betting odds on whatever tribute they have this obviously makes it cost a lot of money especially for those part of a district and that only makes this act from District 11 even more meaningful number two Peta lost his leg the film showed peta's very injured leg during the 74th Hunger Games and the only explanation was that a sword caused dead in the book this sword belonged to KO who sliced peta's leg when he left the career pack following the games the the doctors had no choice but to cut his leg off instead giving him a prosthetic leg that he would have for the rest of his life this actually made the events during the 75th Hunger Games much more difficult than the film showed and it was one of the big reasons why Katniss was opposed to Peta going back in the arena number three Katniss went deaf in one year similar to the last one the 74th Hunger Games had lasting repercussions for Katniss as well following the explosion she caused with the landmines the films left out the fact that Katniss went dead in her left ear for the rest of the games unlike Peta though the doctors were able to surgically repair this after the games ended number four Katniss and Joanna trained for the 76th Hunger Games together as finix said the journey to the capital was basically the 76th Hunger Games and Joanna and Katniss worked hard to make sure they were in good enough shape to participate the two pushed each other to their limits ensuring that each one got past their struggles and in turn this made them grow very close which the films did not conve number five Joanna falls apart during her test after all of that training I just mentioned Joanna had one more test to see if she was truly capable of going on this Mission and unfortunately the test made her face water which took her back to her PTSD when she endured water torture in the capital she stopped the test cowered from the water and began to scream this led to bogs the leader of the mission coming to the conclusion that she had been through too much trauma to be an asset to the team number six six Cory Elena Snow's roommates when snow was sent to District 12 as a peacekeeper the films left out the roommates he had in his bunk alongside s Janus there was also Junius Smiley bug and cookie together they worked hung out went to the hob played poker and they all had a pretty large role during Snow's time as a peacekeeper they can be seen in the background of the film and smiley also had a small speaking role but these characters are never named number seven Peta was a victim of child abuse Peta and his siblings who were also entirely cut from the films were constantly beaten by their mother if they messed up in the bakery we saw a bit of this in the first movie but it definitely wasn't to the extent that the books portrayed number eight Darius the Peacekeeper Darius was a peacekeeper for District 12 during the original trilogy and he was actually close with Katniss allowing her to get away with a lot including going past the fence to hunt when Gail was being whipped and catching fire the movie left out Darius trying to stop it only for ramula thread to knock him out Darius was then taken to the capital where they removed his tongue making him an avox and they enslaved him later he was forced to feed the District 12 tributes at the training center and catus believed that it was no coincidence that Darius was placed in her apartment his fate unfortunately became even worse from there the capital locked him up and tortured him in the most brutal ways cutting off body parts electrocuting him and telling him to talk which he of course couldn't do because he was in avox Peta was forced to watch days of darius's torture until he finally died a painful death and all of this was just to send Peta a message and mess with him number nine the plinth family's importance the film had small mentions of this like the plinth prize and also with high bottom saying that snow was the air to their Fortune but the movie left out a lot of details at the end of the prequel novel strabo plinth actually adopted snow as a second son unaware of the hand snow played in his real son's death the two got very close snow even forgetting at times that strabo was from the districts Cory elanus asked Mr plinth for advice every so often which meant a lot to him and strabo liked him so much that he allowed snow unlimited access to his money this allowed snow to have money for his tuition money to buy back his apartment and fix it up plus live a lavish lifestyle hiring a cook buying clothes and other expensive luxuries and as I said the money was eventually passed down to snow when strabo and his wife died number 10 m unde m was a character completely cut from the films but she played a major role in the plot for the novels she was the District 12 mayor's daughter and she and Katniss both being loners at school did a lot together after Katniss was reaped M was the second person to come visit her while there she gave Katniss a token that she could wear in the arena which was of course the mocking jpen this of course differ from the film because there greasy St was the one to give Katniss this pen tragically imagine her family would be killed during the bombing on District 12 at the end of Catching Fire number 11 the importance of Katniss's father Mr everine was only seen for a few seconds in the films and we barely knew anything about him in the books though he was a huge reason why Katniss was the way she was he like Katniss was an amazing singer and he Tau her the Hanging Tree song when she was young Mr everine also took Katniss to the woods beyond the fence and showed her the lake in the house that would eventually become a regular spot for her when she was older but but most of all Mr everine taught Katniss how to use a bow and arrow and how to hunt he crafted the bows Katniss used himself making at least four of them for her as she grew and he was the reason she became the Archer she was giving her a way to provide for her family when Mr everine was gone and giving her a huge leg up when she was in the arena number 12 what Cory elanus and Tigress snow went through during the dark days we saw small glimpses of this at the beginning of the prequel film but it was so much worse in the book they hunger to the point of it being painful they lived on nothing but cabbages which they ate and traded for other necessities they were forced to trade or sell many important family heirlooms and burn the rest of it to make a fire ensuring they didn't freeze to death they also fought against the flu which almost killed cor elanus at one point on top of that snow was also assaulted by a peacekeeper who stole his cabbages the little food he and his family had left and if that wasn't enough even though they did make it out alive they lost all of their Fortune number 133 Katniss was going to mercy kill Peta the movie showed Katniss grabbing a syringe when she woke up at the end of Catching Fire but what they didn't convey was the reason why she picked it up the book explains that she was going to use it to kill Peta she had hoped to find Peta on the ship and end his life this is because she knew that Snow's Final Act would be to slit peta's throat to get to her and she wanted to give him a peaceful death Peta of course wasn't on board however so she couldn't carry this out number 14 how the 10th Hunger Games ended in the film The Snakes took out all of the tributes except for Lucy gray crowning her the Victor however the games ended very differently in the novel the final two were Lucy gray and Reaper unlike in the film where it was Lucy gray and coral the snakes had nothing to do with the ending on page though they were there and then passed and many many things happened after their arrival the real ending of these Hunger Games saw Lucy gay coming up with a plan she wore Reaper out making him chase her and then led him to some water which the tired Reaper drank not knowing that Lucy gray had poisoned it this made him collapse and he died a slow death Lucy gray feeling his pulse until it disappeared number 15 Mesa Donner I went over M earlier in the video but now I want to go over her mother and her aunt Mrs un M's mother was the twin sister of Mesa Donner and Mesa was actually good friends with Katniss and Prim mother Mrs everine this story ended tragically though as Mesa Lee was sent to participate in the same Hunger Games that hch was in Mesa Lee and hitch teamed up while in the arena but she lost her life when attacked by a bunch of vicious Birds number 16 Katniss's prep team was imprisoned in District 13 the prep team with the exception of CNA were pretty much cut from the movies besides being in the background of a few scenes the unnamed stylists included flavus Venia and Octavia after the 75th Hunger Games they were all sent to District 13 to help prep Katniss for the propaganda videos however when a starving Octavia took a slice of bread when she wasn't supposed to they were all thrown into a confined room and Shackled to the wall they were only half closed and had nowhere to relieve themselves nor to wash themselves plutar and Katniss eventually found out and freed them immediately and they were all tended to by Katniss's mother number 17 greasy St took care of Katniss after the war though Rey say didn't give Katniss the mocking jpen in the books she did play another role she was one of the few hundred people to return to District 12 after the war greasy SE came over to Katniss's house every morning and every evening checking on her cooking her meals and making sure Katniss's mental health didn't get too bad number 18 Peta made finck and Annie's wedding cake the film showed this beautiful wedding but a detail they left out was that Peta used his skills from the bakery back at 12 to make them an incredible cake he frosted it with waves and dolphins paying tribute to their home in District 4 where they were surrounded by water and oceans number 19 hitch's Hunger Games this one's exciting because this is what the new Hunger Games book and movie is going to focus on we found out a fair bit about these games in the original book however it was the second quarter Quil being the 50th Hunger Games and to celebrate that they put double the amount of tributes in hch ended up winning by using the force field around the arena as he d dodged an axe knowing it would bounce back and when it did it killed the District 1 female crowning haitch the Victor number 20 how snow punished hch going off that last Point snow was Furious that hech had used the force field the way he did thinking it made the capital look foolish to punish him snow had hitch's mother younger brother and girlfriend killed after haage won and after he thought he was going home to his loved ones he was left all alone this is a big reason why hitch turned out the way he did becoming an alcoholic not caring about his duty as a mentor and disliking life in general and honestly I don't blame him that's an awful backstory to have number 21 prim's goat the background on the everine family is something the movies never really covered there's a storyline for this family where Katniss bought Prim a goat for her 10th birthday because she knew Prim loved animals the goat wasn't in great shape so Prim nursed it back to health and named her lady bringing the goat back to Good Health was one of the things that opened the door to Prim becoming a Healer later in life number 22 Katniss drugged Peta the movie showed Katniss going to get Peta the medicine he needed waiting for him to fall asleep before going however in the book this was made much more complicated as Peta threatened to follow her and Shout the whole way this made Katniss drug Peta giving him sleep syrup in his berries when Peta discovered what was in them he tried to make himself throw it up but this didn't work he soon became unconscious allowing Katniss to get the medicine number 23 the muts in the 74th Hunger Games were made from the dead tributes the movie had these muts be giant black dogs however in the book instead of being dogs they were wolflike creatures and each one was made from the tributes that had already died they wore a collar marked with their District number and in them Katniss could see the human eyes of Rue thresh and all of the others Peter wondered if they legitimately dug the eye out of the humans and placed it in the eye socket of the Wolves this was one of the most chilling moments in all of the books for me and I so wish that the films put it in number 24 the muts from the Battle of the capital going from one mut to another again the movies changed these muts for the big screen making them more humanoid creatures with no eyes in the film however they were more lizard-like and they had two things that made them even more creepy one they were hissing Cas over and over again as they approached the squad and two the muts gave off the strong scent of roses the thing that snow had continuously used to unsettle Katniss throughout the third book adding a psychological threat to these muts as well number 25 the district one tributes punishment The Ballad of song birds and snakes film showed the punishment of Marcus who tried to flee after the explosion however they skipped over the District 1 tributes falset and Wolverine who also tried to escape during the explosion their punishment was arguably worse than Marcus's though their dead bodies were carried and dragged by a horse paraded down the street for everyone to see and aired to all of panm their limp bodies took immense damage as they slammed on the ground over and over again injuring them so much that their face was unrecognizable number 26 what happened to Peta in the capital Peta went through hell after after being captured by the capital following the 75th Hunger Games I mentioned how we was forced to watch Darius die a slow painful death but they did so much worse to Peta than that they put him through Agony immense pain and brainwashed him using tracker Jacker Venom then when he warned the rebels of a coming attack snow made his brainwashing worse than ever completely changing peta's view of Katniss the woman he once loved as a dangerous threat number 27 what happened to Joanna W in the capital Capal Joanna was captured alongside Peta and she was forced to hear Peta screams as the capital tortured him and vice versa as Peta heard Joanna screams as well for Joanna they tortured her with a combination of water and electroshocks they also shaved her head to ensure that her hair wouldn't absorb the electricity ensuring that she got as much pain as possible she was covered head to foot in wounds and bruises and on top of everything they tortured her mentally as well with mind games through it all though Joanna refused to give up any information about the rebels what a freaking Warrior number 28 Bonnie and twill these two characters have one of the wildest stories throughout the entire series and the film's completely skipped over it they were part of District 8 and there Bonnie was a student of 12 after finishing school Bonnie worked in a factory where she made Peacekeeper uniforms and she stole two of them for twill and her husband twill planned to use these to make an escape from from District 8 which had been locked down as punishment for rising up before going however a factory was blown up killing twi's husband and Bonnie's entire family having nothing left Bonnie took the Peacekeeper uniform meant for twi's husband and she and twill escaped together heading to District 13 where they believed there was a rebel stronghold when they reached the outskirts of District 12 they met Katniss Katniss gave them some food heard their belief about a rebellion in 13 which Katniss was skeptical about and Bonnie and tll went on the way Katniss looked into whether these two had made it when she was in District 13 but when she found no record of them she assumed they must have died on their Journey number 29 KO and cl's tragic end KO and clove were fan favorites both in the novel and in the film however the movies left out one of the most humanizing moments for both of them in the movie we did see clove cry out for Kato was thresh had her pinned down after we killed her though the film cut out that KO went to cl's body and held her in his arms screaming with Despair and begging clove not to die this obviously hints that their relationship might have been more than we originally thought and I honestly think that this moment is one of the reasons why they're fan favorites it humanizes them in a way that we don't normally see for career tributes and finally number 30 I saved the best for last how Joanna won her Hunger Games get ready because it's absolutely wild Joanna had a plan from the very start she acted as though she was weak and helpless purposefully getting a low training score before the games this led to the other tributes not seeing her as much of a threat meaning she wasn't a main target she stayed to herself for most of the games not killing or hurting anyone then when it came down to the final handful of tributes she showed what she had been hiding viciously killing every last remaining tribute covered in her opponent's blood she gave PanAm one of the most brutal final days of any Hunger Games and she was crowned the Victor and and that's 30 things that movie fans wouldn't know comment below your thoughts and let me know if you can think of any other examples that I didn't mention that's all for today though so I will see you in the next video
