The Hunger Games: 10 Massive Spoilers For The Final Two Movies
5. There Is Almost A Final Hunger Games
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mockingjay culminates in a victory for the rebel forces. Despite the rather brutal and bittersweet nature of the triumph, there's a jubilance to the District 13 camp as the key figures in the movement gather for a strategy meeting. Newly anointed President Coin and the rest of the committee suggest that, as a punishment for the suffering the Capitol has inflicted, something needs to be done to make an example of them. Coin comes up with the notion of one final Hunger Games, in which the children of the Capitol's most powerful and wealthy citizens will act as Tributes. It would serve as a taste of their own medicine for the Capitol's most influential citizens and a warning against the kind of tyranny that Snow's regime reinforced. Peeta immediately votes against the proposition, but the final, tragic events of the war convince Katniss that the Games should happen. The committee agrees with the Games, but this leads Katniss to realise that nothing has really changed and that the darkness of Snow's reign will continue under Coin.
