The Hunger Games was a massive hit when it came out in 2012, right when the “young adult” genre of movies based on book series was going strong. The movie helped shoot Jennifer Lawrence to superstardom and introduced us to the world of Panem and their crazy Hunger Games Battle Royale ritual. The film definitely raises some questions though. Like what’s up with that “lucky” mockingjay pin? Why doesn’t anyone look hungry? What’s up with Peeta’s makeup skills; what kinds of cakes was he making in that bakery? How did Haymitch instantly get over his alcoholism? Why did they divide this into four movies?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Hunger Games! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

    “He's just gonna be an alcoholic in the first scene and then immediately get over it.” This was also Valkyrie's arc in Thor Ragnarok

    "That pin did not work at all." I had never thought about that. And then Prim gives it to Katniss again, like here, now you can have some bad luck too!

    "Forced into a Battle Royale." "That sounds like Battle Royale." "No it doesn't." "Oh, okay."
  • @nealm6764
    "So they change angles and try again?" "No, they just give up." ROFL!

    This is so upbeat just like how I imagined the books
  • @JakkFrost1
    In the time-honored tradition of combining the names of famous couples; Peeta + Katniss = PeeNiss

    Me in school: tries to study for an hour My brain: psst Instantly abandoning techniques is tight!
  • @amandasunshine2
    The whole pin thing makes no sense, because it was given to Katniss by a different character that they understandably didn't want to include because she's so minor, but ended up making a more confusing reason Katniss has it
