10 Things That Would Have Happened After 2015's Biggest Movies

6. The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 - Katniss Gets Drunk And Starts Texting Gale

If you hadn't already read the books, then the constant tug-o-war between Peeta and Gale was one of the central plot devices in the Hunger Games three-sort-of-four-ilogy. Gale, the headstrong, muscle-bound warrior of Katniss' youth who fought desperately to protect her as the war engulfed them both; and Peeta, a face-painting stroppy teen who had definitely written in his LiveJournal about getting "friend-zoned" while listening to Ed Sheeran. A bit like Twilight's Edward and Jacob thing, if you swapped out the Vampire/Werewolf dynamic and repackaged it as a human-loofer vs the sort of University rugby captain who'd sh*t in a pint glass on society night out. Inexplicably however, she ends up with Peeta. A landmark victory for the mindset that if you just stare at a girl long enough, she'll eventually father your children. But despite the heart-warming epilogue to the film - and the small issue that Gale might well have been responsible for killing her sister - Katniss will grow painfully bored of a life of windy walks and listening quietly to the poems Peeta comes up with when he's supposed to be loading the dishwasher. She'll yearn, as we all would, for some excitement, for some danger, for something that actually resembles a bicep muscle. Two bottles of wine down on nothing more ceremonial than a Tuesday night, out comes the phone (or whatever they have in Panem), and "hi stranger hows life in the big city :p". A winky emoji here, a "u ok hun" there, and the two of them will be sneaking off into the woods together to shoot deer through the necks and roll around in the blood. Peeta meanwhile updating his social media profiles about how #blessed he is.
