He's charming, entertaining, and winds up being one of the revolutionaries -- all points in his favor. Still, Finnick receives a lot of hype for a character who isn't quite as relevant to the overall plot as some less-appreciated personalities surrounding Katniss. That's probably why one Reddit user argued that he's a bit overrated. As another responded , however, the fandom loves him anyway! By the time the credits roll on Mockingjay - Part 2 , it's all too easy for viewers to hate on Gale.
As Katniss and Peeta undergo growth onscreen, most of Gale's development -- and his push toward more extremist beliefs and actions against the Capitol -- takes place off screen. That makes it difficult to relate to him already, and his part in Prim's death doesn't help his case. Of course, that doesn't mean some of Gale's beliefs and actions aren't understandable.
As one Reddit user points out , "many of us would probably do the same things under those circumstances. He did see many of the people he grew up with tormented and killed by the Capitol. Prim's death is one of the more heartbreaking moments from The Hunger Games trilogy, particularly after how hard Katniss works to protect her younger sister. And the choice to kill her off has been a divisive one, with some fans arguing that Prim's death served no purpose, and therefore, was indicative of poor writing.
A Reddit user listing unpopular opinions backed this sentiment , arguing that her death was "rushed and useless to the plot. Given the nature of war, one could argue that the pointlessness of Prim's death is the entire point. Do you really think a person like that would stand a chance against older, buffer guys that had been training their entire lives for the Hunger Games? Do you honestly think she could have survived? For instance, when Katniss is in a tree and the girl tries to shoot an arrow at her: the girl was a career.
And yet she was poorly trained: hmm, Katniss has some pretty extreme luck there. When the boy tries to climb the tree, he gives up after one try.
They wanted to murder her. Do you think they would give up after one try? At least have thrown knives at her, or chucked rocks at her, or something. Scientific fact: you cannot be conscious and be that dehydrated.
Lastly, I find it slightly sexist. A weak girl bypasses logic, rationality, a few basic laws of physics, and has some completely unrealistic doses of huge luck that make her survive until the end. And what does Peeta do? He gets wounded and hides in the mud like a wimpy dude. Of course, Katniss, being the strong brave invincible girl she is, had to go save the poor guy. Glad you bothered reading this much of my opinion.

At the end of The Hunger Games , it was mentioned by Katniss that when the Capitol showed Katniss and Peeta the video of the 74th Hunger Games , they did not show the part where Katniss puts the flowers on her body as the flimmakers thought that smacks of rebellion.
In Catching Fire , when Katniss and Peeta are on their victory tour, she thanks Rue for everything she has done for her. Katniss says that she feels Rue is still with her and that everything beautiful brings Rue to mind.
Katniss then thanks District 11 for their tributes, Rue and Thresh. Katniss tells Thresh's family that she admired him for being solitary, and even when the Career tributes wanted him, he turned them down. This made them smile. Later, when asked by the Gamemakers to show his skill for the 75th Hunger Games, Peeta painted Rue covered with flowers on the floor, earning a 12 from the Gamemakers. Also adding on to the rebellion that Katniss was trying to keep him out of.
And later, Katniss describes to Peeta her only "good" dream since the Games, explaining how she followed Rue as a mockingjay, singing and "talking. In the arena, Katniss remembers Rue's vast knowledge about plants and realizes that a distinct disadvantage to being a District 12 tribute is that they don't get to learn their district's main purpose and skills until they are 18, while the other tributes from other districts learn it at a young age.
While watching Haymitch's Hunger Games video tape, and after watching Maysilee Donner's death on the tape, she remembers how Katniss as well was "too late to save Rue. Further in the book Katniss thinks a lot about Rue also when she saw Prim being interviewed standing, like ready to take a flight and she is also mentioned.
In Mockingjay , Katniss compiled a memory book about all the people who died because of the Hunger Games, including Rue. Being the youngest of the tributes at the age of 12, Rue was naturally the smallest - but this still gave her a massive advantage for being light on her feet and agile. Suzanne Collins has stated that Rue is African-American, [2] with. This is how Prim, Katniss' sister, also stood, which brings back memories of Rue whenever Katniss sees her own sister.
This stance made her look like a bird, ready to take flight. Her swift and almost invisible movements through the treetops added to the bird-like description. Rue says that what she enjoys most in life is music, something which greatly confuses Katniss when she considers the hardship Rue has endured on the fields in District She is described as 4' 8. Rue was the eldest of six children. She had five younger siblings, all living in poverty in District She usually gave her food rations to her younger siblings, and foraged in the fields to provide more food for them.
District 11 has very strict laws and Rue could be punished for helping her family in this way. Her parents were also seen weeping. A man in the back whistles her four note tune, and started a small uprising. The man was shot shortly after. After Katniss sees the man get shot, she hears two more shots, which could possibly mean someone in the family was killed or wounded.
Rue and Katniss had a loving relationship. Katniss formed an alliance with her and took care of her as well. She was deeply cared for by Katniss. Rue told her everything about her, like her favorite thing in the world is music. Katniss felt empathy and pity for her. Katniss demonstrated her love for Rue by crying and mourning her death and covering her body in flowers at the time of her death to show that she was 'more than just a piece in their games'.
Katniss trusts Rue because of her similarities to Prim and her gentle demeanor. Katniss also felt pity and empathy for Rue, being forced into the arena at such a young age.
She also realized she could trust Rue because she watched over her while she was asleep from the Tracker Jacker venom. One of the reasons Rue said she trusted Katniss, was because of her mockingjay pin. Rue and her bonded the night Katniss awakened from her tracker jacker injuries. Rue received a groosling leg from Katniss, after she refused the first few times. Katniss and Rue tell each other about their life and district. Rue told her about the Career's camp and this helps her with her plan.
Rue trusted Katniss when she saw that Katniss had on a mockingjay pin. She then proceeded to help her with a plan to destroy the career alliance.
But soon after the second fire was lit, Rue stumbled into a trap set up by Marvel, who stabbed her through the abdomen with his spear while Katniss ran to save her. After dispatching Marvel, Rue begged Katniss win and to sing to her as she died. As an act of defiance and a way to honor Rue's death, Katniss covers Rue's corpse with brightly colored flowers and gives her District 12's farewell gesture, of the three middle fingers pressed to the lips and held up. Thresh liked Rue and took pity on her since she was so young and nice and felt she did not deserve to be forced into the games.
They seemed to have a fairly close friendship, as Thresh was infuriated and saddened by her death. During training in the film when Rue stole Cato's knife which caused him to attack another tribute , Thresh looked up and smiled at Rue knowing it was her. During the feast, Thresh overheard Clove taunting Katniss about Rue and taking credit for her death, and was enraged by this, Thresh pushed Clove off Katniss and held her above the ground by her throat, yelling accusations at her.
Terrified, Clove insisted she didn't kill Rue this is true, as it was Marvel who killed her , but Thresh didn't believe her, and crushed her skull with a large rock although in the film he bangs Clove against the Cornucopia until her neck breaks , avenging Rue's death. Due to Katniss' alliance with Rue, Thresh spared her life, suggesting that he cared for her. Rue had a gentle and kind nature.
Her greatest joy in life was music, and she loved singing with the mockingjays at home. I am confused about both. Well I've seen it in the Tribute Guide book it tells you the ages, height and stuff of the named tributes. Wingman1 , January 1, UTC. Me and whole group of my friends were thinking, even though Cato is mentally unstable and lives in a more. District, it would be so awesome to have Cato as the main character. Why is he so messed up? Which does he like more - Scythe or Sword?
Or My favorite how did he feel about breaking the stupid kid's neck? All these questions would be answered. Plus, could Peeta really take on Cato, or did Katniss hallucinate that too?
Cato was my personal favorite Tribute. Who totally could've won, or at least made Katniss suicidal my breaking Peeta's neck. What do you think?
I liked all the district 2 tributes. Because they stood up for themselves? But the biography of Cato said the district 4 female was named Marina. Is that true?
It also said he killed her, but I'm not really sure. There are two notable Cato's in ancient Roman history: Cato the Elder, who's famous for his slogan "delenda Carthago est" Carthage must be destroyed and Cato the Younger, a stubbornly virtuous nobleman who fought against Julius Caesar and committed suicide following Caesar's near victory, unwilling to live in a world lead by Caesar.
Personally I think it matches the Elder, who also traditionally followed some line of military service. The Hunger Games Wiki Explore. Victors Gamemaker Rebels The Covey.
