In Mockingjay there are countless ‘mutations’, one of which is a hideous humanoid lizard. Regardless, the real reason that this is on the list is because of what it means for the next two films, Mockingjay Part 1 & 2.
Personally I always imagined some shark-like creature with fangs, claws and blade-like appendages considering the Capitol’s affinity for over the top deadly creature – like the spear faced flamingos in the 50th Hunger Games. Personally I imagined something like this.
Catching fire joining hands movie#
With the movie finally out, no such beast was shown – or even hinted at.Ĭonsidering we only saw the after effects, the beast could literally have been anything. Was it in the jungle or in the water? The imagination of anyone reading this brief passage ran wild and wished for the day this could be shown in the movie. Nothing is given about this particular monster – not even WHERE the body was taken from. At only a mere paragraph in length, this is could have been one of the most overlooked passages of the novel, but it is actually one of the most terrifying. This passage from Catching Fire discusses one of the various ‘mutations’ found in this years arena. Whatever happens at six o’clock, I never want to know. We watch as the claw dips down five different times to retrieve the pieces of one body, torn apart. A hovercraft appears in what we estimate to be the six-to-seven o’clock zone.
Whether it be Plutarch not showing Katniss his watch, Gale and Katniss’s interaction at the beginning or a more humanized Effie, there were quite a few differences in Catching Fire, but what were the most important? Further more, what did they add or take away from the film?Ī cannon blast brings us all together on the beach. But how did it compare to the novel?Īs with any book to film adaptation, there’s bound to be differences – usually due to cost or for the sake of time constraints.
Maybe it didn't work out in the end but there was logic to their strategy.With the Peacekeepers no longer looking like the crew members from Spacesballs, Catching Fire is far superior graphically to its predecessor. Overall, it's not such a bad plan to try and take out the most popular opponent as early as possible, before her sponsors can tip the game in her favour, especially when it's the first year that you have so many dangerous tributes to look out for. Even Katniss herslelf didn't know that before the cornucopia, how could they? This is how you've trained all your life, why change it up now? Even if they decide to counterattack, you're still better prepared than they are cause you've been doing this longer.Īlso, they didn't know Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, Johanna, Beete and Wiress were going to team up. To use a modern parallel, that is what most sport teams are adviced to do, play to your strengths not the opponents weaknesses. If you think about it it's not that strange that they would choose to stick with the strategy they knew best. This year the circumstances were completely unprecedented because for the first time the careers weren't the only ones that had experience and training, everybody did.
For all their lives that's how every previous Hunger Games had gone, the careers would team up and have a bloodbath in the cornucopia. Well to be fair, that was the only thing they knew and were trained for since they were children.
