The Life of 74th/75th Hunger Games Careers (History Of): Cato, Clove, Marvel, Brutus, etc

ONE SMALL CORRECTION: the tribute they killed at 4:28 was a girl not a boy. It's barley a mistake but i see people making a big deal about it so you can pin this comment if you want. Your videos are beyond amazing Morgan! I've been a long time supporter and am a patreon doner! Keep up the amazing work, you are by far the best channel that covers The Hunger Games!

I REALLY wish they had included Cato’s show of affection during clove’s death. It highlighted the fact that as ruthless as they are, they’re still human at the end of the day

Even though he wasn’t a career, I’d love to know more about thresh. I liked him a lot in both the book and the movie, even though there wasn’t much said about him

I would love if Suzanne Collins could do a bunch of backstories on the tributes!

Without Clove, Katniss wouldn’t have gotten the knife, which then she wouldn’t have dropped the tracker jacket nest, which then she wouldn’t have gotten a bow which she killed Cato with and got food with. So basically, without Clove, Katniss wouldn’t have won.

Okay, but can we talk about how much more horrifying the mutts were in the books? They weren't just random dogs, they were anthropomorphic dog creatures that looked like all of the dead tributes and showed great intelligence.

The careers: ruthlessly killing innocent children Me: slowly closing the fridge trying to see when the lights will turn off

It would be cool if there was a book that took place during the 74th Games but from different characters/ tributes perspectives. So like Peeta, Cato, clove, rue, prim etc. each chapter would be someone else’s perspective

I saw another comment talk about the scene with Cato and clove as clove died. I was so mad when they didn’t include that scene in the movie. The scene was pretty monumental for me in the book. It made my views twist from hating the careers to realizing that they were just kids forced to grow up in a world where their minds were corrupted and ultimately led to their deaths. The scene brought out the emotion in Cato and clove. Clove was crying and so was Cato. They seemed to have chemistry beyond that of a friendship. Cato knew he could do nothing but hold her as she died and that really made me sad. Her death scene in the book was the saddest (besides rue of course). They really were just kids. If Cato was truly heartless or a monster, he would have walked away from her and let her die all alone, but he didn’t. He cried with her, over the loss of a young life.

Cato's character development was superb.

8:25 this is so sad. Just imagine their mother after the relief of both of them surviving the hunger games. And now imagine how it is for her to loose both her children in one moment. They were siblings and loved each other yet they knew that in the end one of them had to kill the other. I am 90% sure that one of them would have committed suicide just so the other one could live. 😭 I think their death was just genuinely sad and so was Catos and Cloves

Fun fact: The actors who played Cato and Clove had originally auditioned for the roles of Peeta and Katniss. Ironic they would fight Katniss and Peeta

To be honest though, i still can't believe that Peeta killed Brutus

I really like how Katniss describes Cato as “the monstrous boy from district 2” (or something like that it’s been a while since I read the books) and him fighting off the mutts by himself with his body armor and sword should have been included in the movie to highlight just how dangerous he is.

Clove was my favorite career tribute

They attend a special training academy until they’re 18 Clove: 15

In the end, they were all still human

Finnick was the most deadly. Athletic, smart, fearsome with a trident. For careers, Cato and Glimmer were disappointingly bad esp. with a bow. Katniss was a great archer and wise in the woods, but as we saw vs Clove, not really a close-quarters fighter.

Clove was my favourite and I shipped her and Cato so much 😂

Some people forget that some of the careers were just as scared and broken as the other tributes.
