    It's time. Your name has been drawn. YOU are the next tribute for the Hunger Games. That leaves you with one question: Will YOU SURVIVE? Well, if you watch this Film Theory, the odds actually will be in your favor because you'll be making smart choices that statistically improve your chances of success. So watch on, fellow Theorists, and make sure you're lounging in Victor's Village instead of ending up dead meat in the arena...

    Now, imagine that all 24 tributes have seen these Hunger Game theory vids.
    They've seen the guide.
    They have a near perfect strategy.
    They know what to do to make their odds for survival higher.
    MatPat showed them.
    The Games are starting.
    The countdown is over.
    Everyone's released.
    Everybody runs off into the forest simultaneously because collecting weapons is too risky.
    Everybody looks around.

    Fun fact: The girl that died from eating poison berries was seen in the film studying which berroes and plants are poisonous, which some fans have taken as a sign of deliberate intent to commit suicide.

    • @Lilliathi
      @Lilliathi Před 8 lety +166

      +LordIce
      Couldn't you just eat every berry you found?

    • @IceGavel
      @IceGavel Před 8 lety +826

      Lilliath No, some berries are VERY poisonous. Berries are basically plant fetuses - hence why they contain seeds. Not all plants find the idea of being eaten appealing (though some like it a LOT, case in point the tomato), while some plants like the idea of killing animals for nutrients (case in point, the Venus Fly Trap). Poisonous berries have the advantage of killing the thing that eats them - either for defense, or to create free compost for the seeds to grow in.
      And the worst part? There are not a lot of visual indicators for whether or not a berry is poisonous, hence why some survival experts recommend avoiding wild berries.

    • @IceGavel
      @IceGavel Před 8 lety +253

      Lilliath Because there are *few* signs, not *no* signs. IF you know what to look for, you can eat wild berries. But a layperson isn't likely to know such. It's good survival sense to know which are poisonous and which aren't.

    • @Abyssionknight
      @Abyssionknight Před 8 lety +554

      I don't buy the suicide theory.
      Other than bulking up on food before the games, Foxface is shown to have knowledge of the plants to eat, avoiding the cornucopia, and focused on avoiding fightings and focusing instead on surviving, scavenging, and sabotage.
      She made it to fourth place. It makes no sense to commit suicide once you've statistically got a 25% chance to win. Her survival skills may have been lacking, leaving her weakened and starving, but at that point there's no reason to quit. Worst case scenario you keep poison berries on your person, so if you find yourself in a situation where a brutal death is likely, you can instead give yourself a less violent death.
      I assume she simply was hungry and desperate and assumed they wouldn't be stupid enough to collect poisonous berries.

    • @Lilliathi
      @Lilliathi Před 8 lety +71

      LordIce
      That's some weak ass poison, if a little stomach dilution can render it harmless. A poison that weak would probably result in a long and painful death without stomach dilution.. less painful to just strangulate yourself with a belt or hug a career.

      yeah, and to date the youngest victor ever was finnick at 14, so if you're aged 12-14 you're statistically already dead, i really don't get where he pulled all this just straight up incorrect information from? same with district based odds, he's just straight up wrong since according to the books the career districts *do* have the most victors, and let's be real, how weird would it be if a 17-18 year old that trained their whole life had the same survival chance as a staved 12 year old

    Knives are cool and all but I’d rather tie it to the end of a stick. Spears and polearms have been hunting tools and battlefield weapons since before the Bronze Age, and they’re also relatively easy to learn compared to other weapons.
    If you have a time crunch and have to become proficient in a weapon in a very little amount of time, my bet is spear. they also have a range advantage too so everyone with their tiny little knives aren’t gonna be able to reach you before you reach them

      @Doomzdeh Před rokem +6

      Age does matter. A 12 or 13 year old isn’t going to have the strength or the size to compete with full-grown teenagers, generally. And they will have significantly less training with weapons or with general knowledge of plants or survival. Not to mention the fact that such young tributes are going to find it almost impossible to get any sponsors or allies in the arena because they have such a small chance of winning. Most other tributes and sponsors will consider them to be death fodder before they even have the chance to step foot in the arena.
      That’s not even mentioning the theoretical young districts from places like District 11 or 12, both places where prospective tributes aren’t really taught to hunt or fight and usually don’t even know much about vegetation either. They’re basically dead on-arrival unless they can hide the entire time, get lucky and use something like poison or traps to stay alive, and avoid being killed by hazards from the Capitol.
      Even at that, you’d still have to fight the last tribute to the death, who would likely be much bigger than you and much more experienced with weapons. Your chances of winning are still abysmal, because they’ll be even more on their guard and you’re their only target left.

    Honestly to me the biggest challenge of the hunger games is the psychological aspects. Sure you might be incredibly athletic, strategic, or even just plain lucky, but when it comes down to it chances are you’re gonna have to get your hands dirty at least once during these competitions, and didn’t complete honesty I don’t know if I’d be able to do that.

    Coming back to this years later, and in these 2 episodes, MatPat misses something extremely important. The story that you want to build around yourself is EXTREMELY different depending on where you're from. The poorer districts' tributes would BENEFIT from volunteering as it's unheard of before the 74th games and it makes everyone sympathise with Katniss, whereas in the richer districts it's EXPECTED for people to do so, so if you're form a career district, you just wanna go out there to make sure everyone knows your strength from the get-go, so you either make yourself as intimidating as possible to look most likely to be the betting favourite, or make people send your stuff through self-presentation to tell a narrative, if you're form a lower district

And as the 75th game only had victors that means out of the 30 know Victor's there's obviously going to be a disapropiate amount of non career Victor's. So to create startegys based on statistics when they obviously don't paint the full picture is idiotic.

Another option would be to “accidentally” drop the berries when running from someone, the tribute will think it’s real food and eat them

      But where does it say that muscular people are considered attractive in the Capitol? How many people do you see unable to reach their own backs due to their muscles? It's highly unlikely that strength contributes to beauty much in the Capitol; besides, this is the future, there are probably a ton of different options to appear strong without actually being strong.

      @Deadlyaztec27 Před 7 lety +123

      No, you have to be a normal weight person with enough strength to climb, who happens to put on some calories a few days before hand. If someone can tell you've put on weight than you have fucked up.
      That said, in a survival situation you want wiry strength from lean muscle mass (I.E. no bulk). If you've ever noticed, people that do a lot of strength everyday because of their job are rarely bulked up. This is because while strength is important so is speed and endurance. Both of which take a hit when you bulk up.
      If being bulked actually helped you survive in life then natural selection would have taken place and most people would have a lot of strength. In actuality, being nimble and brimming with stamina are better.

    The second point is wrong. It does matter where you're from.
    • The better your support team (stylist, mentor etc.), the better your chances of actually having decent sponsors.
    • The better you look, the higher the chance of attracting those sponsors.
    • The richer your district, the higher chance your gifts will be valuable.
    • The richer your district, the better you're fed and the healthier you are.
    etc.
