I never get tired of reactors saying, "Is that Lenny Kravitz."
The three finger salute in the books is something specific to District 12 Katnissâs home. It is a tradition the people there do at funerals as a final goodbye, so when they did it at the reaping for Katniss not only were they saying a final goodbye but the other districts saw the salute televised for the first time. There is no communication allowed between districts or travel so the context of the salute is not fully understood with the other districts. So it evolves with a new meaning for Katniss specifically.
Ahhhhh I seeeeee, thank you!!! I appreciate you clearing that up Amanda. Also interesting that there's no communication between districts- makes sense though with the controlling nature of the establishment.
@@DavidvsFilm yeah, they do not want coordination between districts that might spark another rebellion so The Hunger Games have the added benefit of pitting the districts against one another. Also, in the book District 11 sends Katniss a parachute withe rolls to thank her for her care and treatment of Rue. This is not something the districts do for other districts. Katniss is especially moved because district 11 is just about as poor as District 12. They still pooled together what they could to send the bread to her. Sending sponsored gifts is very expensive. The fact that they send it to another districts tribute is a great display of respect but probably not liked by the Capitol.đ
hey so quick question u seem to be an expert at knowing this movie so I wanted to ask even years ago when I watched this I never understood why did PEETA betray Katniss like that in the beginning....was that on PURPOSE? ...or was he doing it to lead them away...? I always was so questionable about that but never knew
@@politicalblink hi!
He was always protecting her. He never expected to survive the games. In fact in the book he almost does die at the end because one of the Mutts slices his leg at the artery and he is quickly loosing blood. In the book he looses the leg completely and the capital gives him a robotic prosthetic. The book is much more gruesome than the movies. Basically he was just using the career pack to his advantage. He really didnât know Katniss was playing up their âromanceâ for the cameras and to get more sponsor gifts.(Even though I believe there is plenty of subtle subtext and actions in the book to suggest Katniss did love him but she didnât realize it herself yet) I really recommend reading or listening to the books if you can. So much more rich details and not in a boring way.
@@FestivalFacePaintArtist OMGGGG TYSM! I see now and yes for sure I will try and get into the ACTUAL BOOKS cus they do tend to be BETTER than the movies and I appreciate you for this information. BTW you are so pretty! Have a good day.
Something I love in the movies that isn't in the books is seeing things from the gamemaker's point of view and what is going on in the other districts like when Rue's district revolts after her death. The books are entirely from Katniss' point-of-view, but the movie gives some behind-the-scenese stuff which makes things even more interesting.
Also, the arenas are in real locations, but then a dome of some sort is put over it and then they can manipulate the environment. In the book, it's mentioned that people, usually from the Capitol, can vacation to previous arenas and visit locations of memorable deaths and such. Truly disturbing.
Oh nice!!!! Great comment, Donielle, thank you so much. I need to read the books, looks like. Add them to the pile of others I'm behind on.. ;)
If I remember right, in the book they tell how the âGhostbuster dogsâ were the embodiments of the fallen tributes. At one point Katniss recognizes Rue in one of the dogs.
@@donjackson5522 Yes. That is in the books.
Glad to see The Hunger Games is getting a resurgence with reaction channels coming up reacting to them and realizing that they aged perfectly and much more adult than people think
Me too! So happy to see my favorite franchise finally getting the love and respect it so rightfully deserves
@@oncerand_directioner yes me too!! Iâm so glad people are realizing this is NOT a kidâs series hahah
@@zblglr Me too! I think people just wrongfully assumed this was going to be another dumb teenage love story like Twilight but with more action since this came out right after the Twilight series finished and was also marketed as a young adult series. Thankfully though, this is absolutely NOTHING like that garbage because the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta, and Gale is NOT the main focus of the story; it's about Katniss and the citizens of Panem working to take down their oppressive, authoritarian government. The love triangle is simply just a B-plot
@@oncerand_directioner Lol you are READING MY MIND!! Also the side characters in this franchise are sooo strong I love it so much!! I canât wait for them to watch Mockingjay pt 1 and lose their minds
@@zblglr Me too! Mockingjay Part 1 is soo underrated but is amazing. I also totally agree with you about the side characters. My favorite one has to be a certain Avox (Won't say who to avoid spoilers for now)
Rueâs death is a major tipping point as Katnissâ actions in laying her to rest are respectful and normal to any human being watching the movie, but in the world of the film it is a political act (not deliberate on Katnissâ part) because it HUMANISES the child. Normally the dead kid is carried away by a drone. But to see her there, with flowers and love - a funeral - it wakes people up. It tells them that yes, the pain in their heart and the thought that this death is WRONG is the right thing to be feeling. And so, riots. Normally they donât. Everyone is numb to these losses at this point. Rue and Katniss change that. The Capitol uses the children of its citizens to control the population. Itâs twisted by design. You want to rebel? Look what happens to 24 of your children every year. Well, what if we did it to all of them? They manipulate hope and condition the people to live in fear from a young age.
Girl I paid off my credit card yesterday!!!!!!!
The genius of Suzanne Collins (the author of Hunger Games) is that she talks to her young readers as equals-presents these moral dilemmas and lets them decide for themselves-she doesnât tell them what to think. She asks the questions and they learn to think critically. It comes across in the movies as well, but itâs really powerful in the books. We could use more critical thinking, so this is good.
Thanks, that's a great insight. I've always like that approach as well- just talking to younger people like they're regular humans and not infantilizing them too much.
@@DavidvsFilm Heck, the news these days tries to tell people what to think. There was a time when journalists were taught to just present the facts, and interview people on all sides of an issue and leave it to the reader/viewer. Then the Fairness Doctrine was overturned, and now pundits on both sides present opinions as facts, and if you only listen to one source, youâre only getting one side of things.
In the books it is explained that when you turn twelve your name is entered into the drawing once. At thirteen twice and so on until eighteen. But you can get tessera, that's a supply of grain and oil, in exchange for your name and as often as you have family members. Katniss is 16, so her name would be in 5 times, plus 3 times (for her, her mom and her sister) per year. Makes 20.Gale has a mom and 3 siblings, that's why his Name is in 42 times.
Geez Louise! That's harsh!!! Thanks for explaining it though :)
This is wrong. Thatâs not how your name ends up in multiple times. Children who add their name to the reaping bowl are rewarded with tesserae which gives them grain and oil. They can add their name additional times for more tesserae. Thatâs why Katniss says not to do get anything from the Capitol, itâs not worth having her name in more times.
@@Hey_Jamie this
When you turn 18 your name is in the bowl 7 times without getting the tessera. Assuming that Gale got 5 tessera per year, for himself, his mom and 3 siblings. 5 (tessera) x 7 (years) = 35 + 7 (that would be in the bowl anyway). Makes 42.
The annual drawing of names to decide which tributes will go to the games. Children must enter the reaping at age 12 and add one entry each year until age 18. Because the entries are cumulative, at 18 one name has been entered seven times.
Tessera
: Children can add their names more times in the drawing in exchange for tessera; each tessera is worth a year's supply of grain and oil for one person. They can do this annually for every member of the family as well as themselves.
What I loved about this story was that it is probable. It isnât in a far, far away galaxy (hi, Star Wars!) but here⌠way in the future. It makes you question and debate government, power, ethics, and I love that! And I love itâs in a way digestible for even young adult readers.
Well said!!! :)
Iâve always thought if this were to ever happen irl it would be with the worlds most dangerous criminals haha
effie is one of elizabeth banks most iconic roles! she is almost too good at this role, perfectly casted! her chemistry with woody in the rest of the films is electric!
She's so great!!!
Suzanne liked her so much that she encouraged her to be in the movies later on even though she wasn't in the books.
The "another weasley" comment.... gold!đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Haha thanks, Diana! It could be though..
Mark: "Why can't my body look like that?"
David: "Because we had Papa John's for dinner tonight!"
Classic!
The first is a classic, like A New Hope, but the second is a crowd favorite, much like Empire Strikes Back for Star Wars Fans. The final two are good, but splitting into two movies is always tricky (see Harry Potter, Twilight, etc). I think the series topped itself at movie 2, Catching Fire, but of course you need to see all four to finish it out. But it doesn't end as a crowdpleaser like the Star Wars Original trilogy or first three pirates movies trilogy, or even how LOTR trilogy or Harry Potter Series ends.
Hahaha, and Papa hits hard.
Yeah, I've heard good things about the 2nd. I don't mind the split once both movies are out- I only get frustrated if I really like a movie, and then I see Part 1 in real time, only to have to wait a year for Part 2.
@@DavidvsFilm I havenât been exercising for several years and gained back some weight I had lost, so I went on the good old cliche slimfast diet. You know, the âshake for breakfast, shake for lunch, (2-3 meal bars or snacks in between, and a sensible dinnerâ deal), and itâs slow going until I actually add exercise to it, but it is working after 3-4 months or so, just the diet change. It was mainly for calorie counting, but the drinks and bars also limit sugar and carbs yet still taste really good. Itâs as repetitive as youâd think, but Iâm getting chocolate cookie dough bars and caramel coffee and chocolate energy shakes and such every day. Not a horrible way to limit calories, carbs, sugar, add vitamins and protein, get to eat a lot of tasty dessert bars and shakes, and also lose some weight at the same time!
Side note: My family and I went to a superhero comic con with a movie and tv show themed car show in San Antonio last weekend. Made a last minute impromptu 4 minute video on my channel for the memories, and while there I met one of my childhood heroes, Sam Jones, who played Flash Gordon in the 1980 movie thatâs a cult classic. If you and Mark have never seen it, itâs got a classic sound track from Queen(!), great cast, and great cheesy comic book fun. Plus crazy special effects that are still amazing today. Would be such a fun watch for you guys!
Edit: Flash Gordon 1980 is slow paced like Star Wars A New Hope 1977, but both movies have a crazy, interesting world and story, and both pick up at the end for the final battles!
I loved seeing Marcâs reaction, because like Marc, I also didnât watch Hunger Games when it first came out (I thought it was overhyped). I only watched it a few years ago and was also like âWHY DIDNT I WATCH THIS SOONER?!â. I think I binge watched them all in a day or two. Canât wait to watch the rest with you guys!
Haha yeah I remember seeing the first one, and then if memory serves, I was going to try and get Marc to watch it because I thought he'd like it. So I held off on the sequels until we could watch the first one, and then the sequels, together. That was 10 years ago. lol
I HIGHLY recommend the books. The audiobooks are phenomenal.
More stuf happens in the books because obviously mo is only have so much time and money. Like for one thing peta fully loses his leg and ends up with a prosthetic leg in book one. I won't say all the other stuff because I don't like spoiling but fr you should either read or listen to the books.
@@finnyc.260 Iâve been looking for a new audiobook, so Iâm glad youâve recommend it. Iâll start listening tonight!
CZcams reaction channels are my 80's and 90's childhood equivalent of sitting on a couch with a friend and watching their face the whole time they are watching one of your favorite movies for the first time
Haha EXACTLY why I wanted to do the channel, @Toukie! :) That and the interactive dialogue through the comments.
âSo grim⌠Where are they going?â
âK Martâ
đđ¤Ł
Blue Light Special on aisle 3 girl!
My dad dubbed this one of the greatest film sagas of all time when we were finished watching the last movie. And I really agree. This one was great although I think the next one is the best one of them all
Aww well that makes me excited for the next ones then, since theyâve got both yours and Popâs Seals of Approval! Weâre watching Catching Fire tomorrow. đđĽ
HAHAHA!!! I laughed a lot when he said: âAnother Weasley.â Also, âThe Maze Runnerâ was mentioned; Iâd like to see a reaction to that series after âThe Hunger Games.â
If you guys ever think about reading the books I would highly suggest it, because they are such an impressive showcasing of the effects of PTSD that therapists have suggested that families of soldiers read the books to understand what their returning soldiers are going through. This movie/book series takes sort of a two-pronged approach, mixing together stories like The Running Man by Stephen King (the movie, not so much, but definitely the story, because it has the haunting effect of making us realize that we are pretty much almost there in our society when it comes to "reality TV", with people selling themselves to get money... and in those books it's just a step further, and people are selling themselves to get for instance medicine, or food rations, are you get to this being essentially the immediate descendant of that story). Put that together with the concept of what it does to a developing mind to be sent off to war, and then to have to come back and reintegrate into society only to be sent back again, it really makes a point; especially with the idea of it basically being a televised war of relative children (or in this case, true children). Also, a lot about how the propaganda machine works, and how people are used to produce a result, psychologically speaking. There are a lot of details in this first movie that were altered from the books, I think to their detriment; for instance more impact with the concept of Haymitch (the recruiter / trainer who ends up an alcoholic after watching all these young trainees go tits up); a guy who has to consistently watch these kids he mentors go off and get themselves killed immediately, year after year, because none of them have any training to even survive the night, much less fight, because all they've ever done is fight starvation. And when you add that into the train ride, when they have their first really good food in their lives and the impact that makes on them, really highlighting that they're not even nutritionally prepared for such a fight. Also, the huge monsters at the end originally had the faces of all of the tributes who had died, as a way of causing psychological warfare. And, you don't really get the full impact of Cato at the end, and his speech, because what he really is is the kid who enlisted into the military as a Born In The USA-type patriotic character... because he wants to be there and had benefited elite training, and is not there because he's drafted. Because he believes in the "glory" of it for his hometown (AKA district) and all of that; and in the end he realizes that he's just doing something for other people and sacrificing himself to do it. Everything he was raised to believe was false and his world has fallen in around him, the thing that sustained him against the PTSD, realizing he really has just been turned into a killer for someone else's pleasure and profit. There's a lot more things that come up later on in the sequels about how people get used by a system like this in a myriad of ways, but yeah. They really make a good point. The books also go hard on the whole starvation part of it, and the control of resources select few, so that the people who are essentially what we would call senators' kids who don't ever have to participate in these televised wars, get to have endless access to all of the resources made by the poor people, while the (artificially) poor people have access to none of it and are on the brink of starvation at all times, which... I don't think I need to say much more about class and all of that in this. Overall the books are absolutely brilliant & the movies are a decent rendition of them.
Great reaction, I am going to subscribe immediately, because you're one of the few sets of reactors to actually take these things seriously and understand what they're trying to get at, instead of thinking of them as "cool".
I almost always stop for a Hunger Games reaction, but y'all had me cracking up. You've got a subscriber!
Thank you!!
@@DavidvsFilm you should react to Young Justice on HBO/Max
I love how Effie's accent brings out the disgust when she says 'he's probably in the bar car.'
lol the âbahhhh cahhhhhââ
The actors weee great! Although katniss and Peeta were supposed to be 16 here and I think itâs easy to forget how young they are since they look older then that, but Jennifer does such a good job as Katniss! I think this movie does Peeta a bit dirty though which makes him seem weaker and doesnât show how charismatic and smart he is with playing the games but they did show if a bit
Yeah and I really thought Gale had a bigger role also. Maybe later? I always thought it was like a love triangle with her and Peeta and Gale, but I mean, I guess she was kinda busy lol
@@DavidvsFilm hmm thereâs a lot to say about Gale⌠but he is a bigger part later on so I canât say anything about it yet. Iâll just say though the movies make the love triangle a bigger thing compared to the books, itâs hard to say much because itâs in the other movies but the movies definitely promoted the love triangle when thatâs not what itâs about lol
@@clover2739 I agree with you about Peeta. Having read the books beforehand I was already head over heels for his character and felt like the movies didn't do him justice, but still did enough to make him lovable if that makes sense.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend reading the books once you are done with the movies. The movies are pretty loyal to the storyline of the books, and I feel like they complement each other well. The books are told from a first person present-tense POV of Katniss herself, which makes things very immediate and in your face. The downside is that one might miss out on the emotions and motivations of other characters, which the movies tackle very well, but in the books Katniss explains a lot of things in detail that are pretty vague in the movies.
"L'il Rue McClanahan" đšđšđš
âWhy canât my body look like that?đĽşâ âbecause we had papa johns for dinner tonightâ đđâ ď¸ that cracked me up
As you move with the movies, you'll realize how acurate it is to our world. And it's actually terrifying to see where we're going.
As my mother-in-law would say, "Ay! No."
âBarbara Bush so sweet to her to let her have it!â LMFAO STAAAHHHPP
You could see mark didn't expect to enjoy it and then to see his face when he got into it was great đ
You nailed it, Julie. 100%
Marc: Why can't my body look like that?
David: Because we had Papa Johns for dinner tonight.
LMAO! I died. Story of my life right there. :p
In the books katniss actually goes deaf in one ear and Peeta loses a leg⌠I know it would be hard but I wish they somehow kept that in
Oh Jesus! Yeah, that's pretty brutal. I mean, better than what happened to those other kids, but still. Ouch.
I made the same comment! I always thought it was so important in the books and then just was never mentioned in the movies
"Sporty Spice down" I'm cackling đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
YES! I lost it when he said that!
Unlike Harry Potter, Twilight and (especially) Divergent, the Hunger Games movies have not been the subject of wide-spread controversy or less than favourable retrospectives since their release, making it arguably the most consistent 21st century YA film franchise - in that sense that its public perception has barely gone down since it was first released.
That's awesome. PLUS, at this point, we're far from the ages of the people in it or the target audience (even President Snow would look at us and say, "Those old bastards?"), and we clearly found it very entertaining and engaging. So it does seem to have universal appeal!
Enters the birthday party...
Peeta made you a cake, but now nobody can effing find it.
Hahahahaha for real!! That's hilarious.
I had to read the books in high school and the dogs in the movie are pg-13 compared to the books. The dogs in the books are what nightmares are made of also, If you do decide to read the books youâll learn about Haymitch backstory itâs very sad and messed up
"Did they just say something French?" -> Rewind 10 seconds -> 'Yves Saint Laurent' -> Well now I'm embarrassed.
Hahahaha âLay-WAUNTâ
Panem the name of the country is derived from the word for Bread I believe in Ancient Roman, or Latin). Hunger Game "Bread and Circus". It's what the ancient Roman emperors did. They used gladiatorial games and feasts to keep the people distracted and complacent. Thus the writer used a very basic real world, premise and said "and what if the gladiators are children, not trained warriors or criminals or war prisoners?" this is supposed to be in the future of the USA, when great catastrophe, both from other nature and from human failing, ripped the country apart. Some of the states even "fell into the oceans" due to natural disasters. To see a man of Panem imposed over a map of the "lower 48" (continental USA) is almost creepy.
So glad you watch these, great reactions! Peeta (The kids are all right) is also known for âBridge to Terabithiaâ, which I hope youâll react to if you havenât seen it.
Canât wait til next movie!
Thank you, @Ulrica Andrae! Oh really?? I didn't know that actually, thank you. I remember reading that book when I was in elementary school. Great heads-up :)
@@DavidvsFilm He is wonderful in that movie. You and Marc are such fun reactors together đ¤
Future man you have to watch FutureMan
Donald Suthlund will forever be the guy who screams at the end of Bodysnatchers.
I'm not sure if by the time this video is posted you've already watched Catching Fire, but if you haven't, there's an important moment that almost every reactor misinterprets. So without spoiling anything: when you see the painting on the floor, that was Peeta who painted it. I thought it was made clear by the movie but maybe that's only because I knew it beforehand from the books, but Peeta painted it as an homage, no one put it there to mess with Katniss
Hey there! Thank you and OHMYGOD you are reading my mind!!! I DID think that's what the original intent was- that someone else did it to mess with her. I have the video coming this week to youtube (up now on Patreon), but I was just thinking about the drawing and wondering if someone would tell me. And now here you are :) Thank you again-
@@DavidvsFilm Ack dang, I always hope to catch people before they watch it! It seems like they made it too ambiguous for anyone that didn't already know what happened, but then they also didn't have any scenes explaining it later so people were just left to wonder what that was all about. In the books Katniss didn't even see it, they'd covered it up and Peeta told her about it later so it's really spelled out. Not so much in the movie.
@@ptolover7 Yeah but thanks to YOU, now I know :) And Iâll tell Marc too.
This book series was the first one that I read in a week! I was obsessed immediately! The films did not disappoint! Great shirts! Awesome to see you get a sponsorship! You are super inspiring and show how you can find success if you keep putting out the content and working hard! Love it!
Hey thanks, @BryMcGuy!! So much of it is credit to you too though. You've been supporting the channel for so long, and we appreciate it. â¤ď¸
You read the book series in a week??? That's impressive!
I don't read much ha more of an audio book kinda guy (shocking I know haha). It just sucked me in and I just wanted to know what happened next! I would've read them faster but I had to wait for my mom to finish them and hand them down ha!
@@brymcguy1867 Ahhh gotcha gotcha. Yeah I need to go with audiobooks more.
Just a side note. Rue was 12, just as prim. 12 is the youngest that can be reaped. It's 12 to 18 you can be reaped.
But loved your reaction a d looking forward to the other ones. In my opinion the second is the best. But the third and fourth are just as good. The hole series is just great. Really sad and cruel but so good.
Thank you so much @Animalsareangels 94!! Yeah, there was a lot about this one I had forgotten, and Marc fell in love with it right away. We're both super excited about the second one since it will be brand new to both of us.
I love watching when you two react together! I especially love watching Marc's face during the intro, he's so supportive of you and this channel and it is so sweet đđđ
I just re-visited this whole series. Call me crazy, but I think they aged TOO well
In so ways, unfortunately I agree...
These were commissioned by Scholastic Books to teach middle school students about politics and war. They were surprised when the movie rights were purchased.
There is another series of books for younger students called the Overland Chronicles.
It was not designed as a YA thing.
Sit and wait for Uber eats took me out đđđđ
Haha thanks. A girl's gotta eat. Get some Taco Bell up in that tree.
Excited to see you both react to this great series. I loved reading the books and they were adapted very well for the films. That being said, if Rue's death made you sad, the book would have torn you to pieces. The bond between them was not portrayed as well in the films as in the books. They had much more time together so her death hit even harder. Lenny Kravitz is so good as Cinna even though he's not in it too much. Looking forward to the sequel reactions.
In the book the dogs are something more....read it!!! you'll love it!!!
They were so much more in the book.
Dang it, y'all know I'm already committed to Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, and probably Harry Potter. I'm going to have to just start claiming that I don't know how to read so that y'all will stop tempting me with awesome books lol
LoL... reading is good for you mind lol! Hunger Games is an easy read as is Harry Potter...but Lord of the Rings was uncomfortable to read similar to Gone with the Wind.
@@DavidvsFilm Hunger Games can be a real quick read. But yeah the dogs aka mutts aka "muttations" are engineered in such a way that like ... oof, yeah I don't want to give it away either lol but it's something
"Have you had venison before?"
It is beyond disappointing that this question actually has to be asked in the modern age. Deer, gator, wild turkey, wild boar -- all delicious. Supermarkets can't contend with nature.
Had all of those plus rattlesnake once. ;)

After this series, it would be really cool if you do the DIVERGENT series. I just love it. As a matter of fact, Iâm going to go watch it again right now! I want a David vs Film baseball shirt just like the one yâall are wearing. They are super GROOVY! Love âya. Mean it.
âWhat are they eating?â

I clicked because the thumbnail looks like 2 guys eating while watching hunger games. Ended up really enjoying the reaction!
Thanks!
Please do the entire series
Not only are doing the entire series, we're actually going to watch them back-to-back. So each week a new reaction on them through Sept. 2.
@@DavidvsFilm yasss đđžđđžđđžđđž
âWhat are they eating?â
âOne of the contestants-?â
I choked on my hot chocolate.
Hahahaha thanks. I'll be sure to tell Marc you enjoyed that :)
This was a great reaction, canât wait to see you both watch the rest especially since itâll be new for you too. And the mention of Maze Runner made me jump to attention, definitely something to try and fit in your watch schedule in the future.
6:54 LMFAOO heâs so real for that đđđ
Haha right? I am more, "I mean I don't know. I'd like to think I would, but geez, that's a tough one. Mabye? I just don't know." Then Marc: "No."
Awesome shirts guys... starting that merch game with a bang! đ Wish both of y'all all the best!
I could not be any happier you two reacted to this, I never get tired of this movie series. Iâm on the second book now. David, you were on fire with the quips & one liners, I laughed out loud when you mentioned Barbara Bush, never realized how much that actress looked like her( lol) canât wait till you get to the rest. Lastly, really looking forward to you doing the Maze Runner series as well.
So excited you are doing another of my favorite series with Marc. These movies are absolutely amazing. I'd love for you guys to watch Maze Runner as well.
Yesss! I've been waiting all week lol. I'm SO glad Marc enjoyed this! And remember, as gruesome as things are in the film, they are MUCH worse in the books (which are spectacular). Just two things of note that I don't want to wait until Catching Fire to mention -- when Katniss blows up the food with all the land mines, the explosion actually causes her to go deaf in one ear. And once she and Peeta win the games and get treated for their wounds, they actually can't save his leg from the damage from the infection, and he actually goes through the rest of the story with a prosthetic. They never mention either of these things in the films, but it's a big part of the books about how not only are they mentally scarred but they're physically disabled afterwards too.
LOVEly... that's horrible! But I mean, I guess that's the reality of the "games". I am super excited (and Marc is too!) for Catching Fire. We're set to watch it tomorrow so that I can get it edited and have it ready for next Friday. :)
So glad you both have done this franchise!!! Such a great one. Loved that you both loved it
Oh my gosh, thank you both so much! I donât think Iâve ever had so much fun watching reaction videos in my days than watching with the two of you. Your one liners are soul food today and I desperately needed the laughs ⤠love and light to you and yours!
Thank you so much!! :) We try haha. Weâre both so happy that you liked them, @Minxi!
KATNISS: Here, this mockingjay pin will protect you from anything bad.
EFFIE: Primrose Everdeen!
KATNISS: ...................shit.
Hahahaha nailed it
Congrats on getting your 1st sponsor,the jerseys look fantastic!đ
Thank you my friend!!! I don't plan to do a lot of sponsors. CZcams already is heavy with ads and I don't want to bother people with them, but I really did like the jerseys! And I don't even care much for sports lol
You should absolutely read or listen to the books. 10/10 would recommend đđđ
Couldn't click fast enough! I was so excited that you both were getting started on this amazing series.
Thank you so much!!! :) That is so nice, @Whipporwill's Song â¤ď¸
Weasley down! đ¤Łđ¤Ł Another great reaction. I think Catching Fire is my favorite of the 4 movies. Can't wait to see more.
PS, sick artwork in the background! đ
You two have no business being this hilarious!!! New Subscriber.
Finally someone who reacted to "Thats Mahogany!" :') Idk why but that line stuck in my head for YEARS!
Totally!! I can see myself using it regardless of the situation. *knocks a glass over* "That's MA-HOG-A-NY!"
@@DavidvsFilm I KNOW RIGHT!! Ive used it so many times and my friends just look at me with confusion. The struggle of letting small lines in movies and shows live in your brain rent free!
Such a great series of films. I remember when we saw it on the big screen we everyone in the theater did the respect for Rue with the three finger. Love the reaction. I am looking for more The Hunger Games reaction. Can't wait for you guys to react to "The Maze Runner and Divergent".
So both are good- Maze Runner and Divergent?
@@DavidvsFilm yes both are good.
@@LuisM1416 Thanks so much, Luis!!!! â¤ď¸ You da man.
peeta is the boy from Bridge to Terabithia
Maze runner is a must!
Yeah, and that one I know absolutely zilch about besides the title. And I don't think Marc has even heard of that lol. Thanks @Manbunonwheels C&Rs!
Omggggggggggggggggggghhhhh I loved that jersey store. Been looking for something like that for months and donât want over pay at a mall. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Awesome!! Thanks Stanley. It took nearly a month for them to arrive, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but now I know it's because they're literally making them custom. Everything was very well-made. I was impressed!
Great reaction you two!
Please go forward soon with the rest of the Hunger Games movies; I'm so looking forward to your reactions to them!
Thank you, @Cameron5043!!!! I'm glad we did right by you lol. Definitely watching the rest, and Catching Fire will be out a week from today.
@@DavidvsFilm Excellent! I'll be there! Thank you so much!
And he was in bridge to Terabithia as a kid
The writing of the Hunger Games books was inspired because one day the author was watching TV and was switching channels back and forth between a competitive reality TV show and the war in Afghanistan. At one point what she was watching got so blurred in her head that she couldn't tell the difference between the programs.
I might be dead wrong but from my understanding that reality TV show was Survivor Cook Islands. The very same exact Survivor season my brother, Billy Garcia was a contestant on back in 2006.
đşđđ¤âĄď¸đđ
Oh wow, thatâs awesome! I doubt youâre wrong, but even if you are, I like the story so Iâm going with it lol. Thanks Laurin!
@@DavidvsFilm Hahahaha! You're welcome. đđ
OMG!!!
I picked the thumbnail because of your jerseys over other Hunger Games reactions.
Thrilled to hear about your sponsor! What a lucky break with my boy's bday and Christmas coming up. It's getting harder & harder to come up with a cool surprise gift for a teen.
Thanks!
Edit: I subbed. Great reaction.
What an awesome comment!! It was fate lol. Thank you!!
@@DavidvsFilm truly.
Looks like some fun bingeing. Great channel.
Noooo I had the biggest crush on Josh Hutcherson bc of âlittle Manhattanâ he had a solid collection of work
Sponsor!!! Congrats!!!!
Maze runner is not the same. It's basically a bunch of boys being stuck in some enclosure they can't get out of and every once in a while there's a new one coming through like a hole in the middle of the arena. The person shows up with amnesia. No idea how they got there and then one day a girl shows up and there's a note with her that says she's the last one ever and they're like we have to escape the arena. There was no kids fighting to the death, but there was something in the area surrounding the arena that could easily kill them, but it was all a test for something that's facing humanity that you'll find out in one of the later movies
Good films even if the base story is so brutal⌠and Maze runner is a great pick, action packed, one of the great ones to come out lately!
Thanks, Marie!!
Hi David and Marc! đI took my mon to watch this one on the cinema and she hated it đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł.... Side not the guy who play Peeta was in a movie called Bridge of Terabithia (nice movie btw) he acts since he was a little boy.
Hey you!!! Hope all is well! Haha yeah, I donât think my mom would like it at all either.
First sponsor!!!!! Woot woot!!!
7:16 also bridge to terabithia lol watched it when I was a kid :p
I never saw that! I remember we had to read the book (also when I was a kid lol), but I didn't see the movie. Was it good?
The gamemaker had the choice of starving or eating the berries and you find out in the next month what his choice was itâs Katniss is talent for the game makers
You two are great. I enjoy seeing you just be yourselves and have fun.
I thought that this movie would seem more silly and juvenile as I grew older, but I've found that I enjoy it more. I'm here for the rest of the series, and all your other videos.
And Marc, wasps are bitches. Hope your foot is better!
I literally subscribed so the next video I know that "Sup?" is for me đ
Aww thank you!! Well Iâm telling you right now, @Lu Lu- it will be. đđ
So if they take out extra portions of grain & oil (food) their name is entered again.
Name entered once each year voluntarily then a tesserae, whereby a child put their name in the lottery in order to supply their families with extra supplies
You two will love the next film. Best in the series in my opinion. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Todd!! Watching this weekend :)
So excited for these ones!!!!!!
Your name goes in every year from 12-18 and it's cumulative. If you are poor and starving you can opt to put in your name again in trade for oil and grain. You can do the same for every member of your family.
Gail has his in 24 times for his age the rest are for his and his four family members grain and oil.
Buckle up boys. This series is a wild ride
I'm so glad you're finally watching this series đ
Thanks, Kris!
Josh (Peeta) is a child star so he's been in a lot of films you'll recognise if you're into films
Thanks so much, @xxSyneyFox! I've seen him in a few things. Kids Are All Right comes to mind.
I saw The Hunger Games.on DVD. I read all 3 novels.The novels were awesome. I watched the whole franchise on DVD. 5 âââââ
Jennifer Lawrence incredible as Katniss Everdeen and a great cast of actors.
Directing was very very good. â¤â¤â¤
So was the dog and the peach pit remark one of them downhome Texas sayin's or was it your own? Either way, I'm stealing it. đ
Hahaha Texas slang. Technically it's peach seeds in the saying, but I think 'pit' gives it more of a punch
After this movie came out, the archery club I went to had a surge of young women enroll for archery lessons!
Haha I bet!
One of the best book to film adaptations, probably the most faithful I can recall. Barely anything is left out/changed. Every movie just ups the ante, one of the few times I'm not mad they split a book into two. Was never able to get into Maze Runner. Definitely need to follow up with Red Sparrow and Mother...J-Law blows both out of the water.
Hey Jon! Ooooh I forgot about Red Sparrow!! How could I forget that- I wanted to see it too. Mother looked a little iffy to me. I get that style of movie and all, I just wasn't sure if I'd like it. But I do trust YOUR judgment, so... :)
@@DavidvsFilm I wasn't a huge fan of Mother the first time through, but then I let it marinade. Should definitely watch once, the acting is so well done, very raw like in Hunger Games, and you can't help to feel what she's feeling. The Les Mis is worth watching just for Hathaway's solo Mother is worth it for J-Laws performance throughout. Definitely get Marc to watch with you if you do.
First time viewer. You guys are hilarious. Much love.
Hey what's up Alexander thank you so much!!! Glad you're here!
Yesss The Hunger Games, it's seems every one of my favorite Reactors have been watching the Hunger Games lately
Oh really?? You know, this one was the runner-up in the poll we did with Pirates, and honestly, I only included it in the poll because I was trying to think of a good franchise that Marc would like. So I guess if other reactors are doing it too, I guess that means I'm in good company lol
Im just reading the knew hungergames book about the story of president snow. And guys - i can recommend it!
Woohoo!! Iâm so happy about this because I didnât even know about the prequel unroll you guys told us. Thanks
Yeah venison is deer and it's basically like extremely lean beef. Maybe with a touch of gamingness so it's not a super exotic type meat that would take in and getting used to. If somebody gave you a piece of meat that was deer you would probably think it was a very lean piece of beef and it was just something different about the seasoning than you're used to cuz you definitely wouldn't think it was a different creature. It definitely needs to be marinated or something because it's pretty tough because they do a lot of running and there's really not any fat to speak of on them
