Y'all know that Florida man is still chillin on one of the islands with a beer in one hand a shotgun in the other surrounded by alligators

MovieFlame: North America is the only landmass left on Earth.

Mt. Everest: *Laughs in Nepal*

Katniss made the decision to kill Coin when she realized that she was the one who dropped the bombs. One of her biggest turnoffs from Gale toward the end of Mockingjay was his ability to kill without empathy. Gale was also the one who designed the bombing trap at the Capital gates with Beetee, the same ones who killed Prim.

Most of the world: "Wow, what a horrible way to live!"
North Korea: *Takes notes*

[anarchicpancake]

capitol: no fear
* district 13 joins the chat*
capitol: one fear

[darkchocospy]

Isn't it kind of ironic that this all started cuz Katniss didn't want Prim to die in the Hunger games but then she ended up dying in the rebellion anyways?

[Sarahhh_]

Everyone says Katniss was the start of the rebellion, but in reality, it was Rue. Fly high Rue

[char]

Here I was, thinking the districts were just in a long line 😂

[eliza]

i wouldn't suprised if katniss saw jeffree star outside her window in the capitol

[samascott]

7:59 "The district went on lock-down, and everyone was forced to stay in their house" - This did not age well.

A lot of you miss the subtle hints at Coin from the moment we meet her. She uses Katniss. Even Boggs tells her that Coin never wanted her, but Peeta, because he would be easier to control. Plutarch advocated for Katniss because he knows that she will spot the corruption on her own and he's counting on her to make the right decision.
Katniss ends up killing Coin because she had time to observe her tactics and realized she's just as evil as Snow.
You could argue she is even worse than Snow, because she's hiding behind a mask of righteousness, while Snow was always very straightforward about what he was doing and why.
Katniss figuring out that Coin had bombed a pen full of children and then hearing her suggestion about holding a symbolic hunger games just reinforced her decision and provided the means for her to get close enough to assassinate Coin and break the cycle.

The first time I watched the movies and saw the Capital people, I said “Wow, it’s a town full of Jeffrey Stars”

[kymejenkins]

"They used district 13 as an example of what happens when you rebel, " just hit me like a rock cause you realize nobody knew they were the only district to achieve such a level of freedom :o

[cubetist]

I would love a movie prequel of Finnick Odair's hunger games, he was really one of my favourite characters throughout the story and seeing him die just left me heartbroken.

[tyrstark]

Commander: District 5 has left us with no power.


Snow: *DAM* ...

[Paula-hgui]

Rest of the world: "Shouldn't we tell them we still exist behind their walls and that everything is just fine?"
Panem: "Welcome to the Hunger Games!"
Rest of the World: "... Nope."

[arriannaniv]

I feel like the outside world was still functioning, but the government said that there wasn’t so they would entrap the people. You accept things easier if there is no where to go.

[RealVedicAstrology]

I feel like the hunger games has a special connection to the real world we live in that no other series has and a message for humanity that is so much deeper than any other series.

[heartlandhawk]

Let us not ever forget: when we are discussing our favorite parts of this movie, Suzanne Collins' overarching message was "This is what happens when your government gets too powerful."
