Why Catching Fire Didn't Win at the 75th Hunger Games

The 75th Hunger Games featured in Lionsgate's 2013 release The Hunger Games: Catching FireIt marked two significant changes in Panem's deadly rivalry. The first was that tributes were collected from previous winners instead of juniors from districts. The second was that there would be no winner, an outcome that would lead Panem to revolt, and a plot ingrained in the game's design. Every tribute to The Hunger Games expects spectacle, bloodshed, and a winner at the end of it all. At least, that was the expectation before the 75th Annual Hunger Games.




Catch firethe second movie The Hunger Games The film franchise takes place one year after Katniss and Peeta win the 74th Hunger Games. The Districts, like Katniss, are at loggerheads with President Snow's suppression tactics on one side and the ever-growing rebellion on the other. while The outcome of the special Quell Quell would decide the fate of Panem moving forwardhis reason speaks of the oppression in Panem and the tributes themselves.

As Haymitch tells Katniss, nobody wins games, it's so true Catch fire. Typically, the last surviving tribute is the victor's crown, the exception being Katniss and Peeta's double victory in the 74th Hunger Games. Their decision to die together rather than kill the other was an incredibly smart strategy. They knew that faith in games was protected by the promise and possibility of winning. By threatening a no-winner, thus destroying confidence in district games and winners, they set the gears in motion for a Quarter Quell outcome.

Katniss' actions in the previous film made her a beacon of hope for depressed areas. His spite and pity also inspired a rebellion in the Capitol itself. With master playmaker Plutarch Heavensbee's careful puppeteering of President Snow, Plutarch is able to return the victors to the arena and rescue Katniss. The angry union of the victors allowed them to rebel against the games. Although initial strategies fail, Katniss makes a statement by electrifying and destroying the arena, forcing the Quarter Quell to end. Plutarch did not win because he saved the tributes.


Capital would have to be the one to end the games, and since the game was interrupted by Katniss and Plutarch, Snow couldn't be crowned the winner. He would not reward the surviving tributes with food and wealth; tortured both Joanna and Peeta for rebelling. Still, the fact that there was no winner showed a reluctance to play the Capitol game, especially in the Capitol itself. The results of the game marked a shift in power dynamics that would affect all of Panem in Mockingjay.

Although this was not the first tribute revolt, and even though there were riots in the 10th games, it was the first major success and destabilization of the status quo. After a quarter Quell, there would be no more games; Refers to the 76th games Mockingjay's Battle of the Capitol. Rebel teamwork unknowingly brought Katniss to life in the districts with strength, courage, and confidence. By moving the winners to District 13, the secret district became a powerful rebel base. District 13's ability to control the media, blackout Capitol broadcasts, and produce Mockingjay propaganda encourages rebellions and supports the authorities in Panem.

Panem would see immediate retaliation by the Capitol after the games, mainly through attacks on Katniss. District 12 was destroyed by bombings and Peeta was kidnapped with stalker-jacker poison to brainwash him into hating Katniss. This was an even more sinister twist on Snow's plan to make Katniss his Capitol sweetheart by manipulating her actions at the games and on the Victory Tour. When this failed to quell the rebellions, Snow harmed his loved ones and districts to regain control. The future of Panem will now depend on Katniss's actions, making her a powerful player in the game.

There is proof of this The snow would not allow the winner. Snow sees winners as problematic: they are too bold and too united. He reminds Katniss of her ability to manipulate death in the arena, telling Katniss that she must die for her berry trick. Snow would not make another mistake. Rounding up the winners for a mass death would send the message that no one is invincible, not even favorite winners. He would sacrifice people's faith in the games to restore order and control. The desire to gain control and power at the expense of another is central to Snow's character.
