  another reason i prefer Peeta over Gale: In terms of Katniss, all Gale really cares about is her loving him, but all Peeta cares about is her being happy

  so many people get angry and annoyed when Katniss is focusing on the Peeta instead of the rebellion, but they always forget that Katniss is just a teenager. She's like 17/18 and has just gone through all of this trauma TWO years in a row, and is automatically thrust into a war, without any time to process what she's been through. And even tho Peeta was forced to say the things he said, a lot of it had truth to it. Her and Peeta weren't aware of the plan during the 3rd Quarter Quell. They were left in the complete dark. She didn't ask to be the face of the rebellion, she didn't ask to be the symbol of hope, she didnt ask to be the Mockingjay, she was just a teenage girl who wanted to go home and be with her family and the people she loves.

  Also the movies did Peeta so bad because in the books it is more clear that Peeta is the more charismatic and inflencing than Katniss.Peeta had a natural knack for knowing what to say, when and how to get the public on his side. Peeta never made a mistake and knew exactly how close to the line he can get without crossing it. Peeta was naturally likeable and charismatic. Katniss, on the other hand, was unpredictable and irrational. She frequently did things that backfired on her and then she lashed out. She isn't naturally able to make people like her. She would have made a horrible politician.Interestingly, everyone involved did seem to realize that if they had left behind Katniss, Peeta wouldn't have fought, he would have been broken. It didn't matter how malleable he is. Without Katniss he wouldn't have been useful. Had Katniss actually lost Peeta, she probably could have still been convinced to fight for Prim, for Gale, for her mother. She had others to fight for, Peeta just had Katniss. But in the end, Katniss would have been driven to seek revenge for them leaving Peeta, the "good" in her world.

  peeta was important because he was an incredible speaker, he was charming and knew how to bring the audience onto his side. The movies didn’t do as good a job as portraying this trait but it’s vital part of his character, especially in the books !!!!

  So the thing about Finnick being forced into sex slavery is worse bc he was a minor and won his games at 14, they also threatened to kill his family if he didn’t, which is also why Joanna’s family was killed.

  In the books Gale changed so much after Capitol bombed District 12 to rubbel...he grew angry, cold and bitter and not even Katniss could comfort him, thats why he kept pushing her away...also his sole motivation after that was revenge..he was a brilliant stratregist in the books and his skill made him quickly jump the ranks of the rebellion but what Katniss was horrified about was how brutal Gale's traps were..Gale had no qualms about collateral damage and he said if innocent civilians died while taking the Capitol's forces, he wouldnt regret it and Katniss was very opposed to that..Gale became what he hated, he became what Capitol was, using any means necessary to win and not feeling regret over it..movies kind of butchered that whole character development and instead put more focus on the love triangle

  Peeta the night before the first games “I just don’t want them to turn me into something I’m not. I’m more than just a pawn in their games.” 😭

  “It’s the people we love the most… that destroy us” -snow to Katniss right before releasing Peeta.

  i really love how much you can tell that Katniss has fallen for Peeta in this movie, even when he isn't there. When Haymitch says in Catching Fire "you could live a 100 lifetimes and never deserve that boy" this movie really showed that the feelings between Katniss and Peeta are mutual and that she really loves him and they deserve each others love and appreciation

  Gale kept saying borderline red flag things throughout the book and is very manipulative and selfish. He and Katniss are very alike, they have the same fire but as we see too much fire breeds destruction. Peeta and Katniss compliment each other well. He is very sweet and very strong. Gale helps her fight and Peeta helps her feel safe and it’s basically a choice between what she needs and what the rebellion needs from her in a way.

  Eventhough Peeta is skinny and he may seem like he needs to be protected. Peeta, is very strong. It might not depicted very well in the movies, but in the books it was very clear. That’s why even when he was malnourished he was able to inflict so much damage. He has been strong since the very beginning.
