So we all know the 75th Quell wasnât just for Katniss now, right??
It was - get rid of Finnick, people tell him too much and like him too much
It was - get rid of Mags (sheâll volunteer to save anyone), sheâs always been too much of a rebel and cares more about the tributes than the games (i.e. hiding Finnick from cameras)
It was - get rid of Beetee, weâre finally done with him (I want to know why heâs suddenly disposable though). But letâs make it as awful as possible and remind him every day what his son was feeling in his own last days
It was - get rid of Wiress (and also show the world what sheâs become) because she never should have won (and weâll show people what happens when you think youâre smarter than the Capitol)
It was - get rid of Johanna Mason, we killed everyone she loved and it didnât break her enough so now we canât control her
And of course, it was - get rid of those rebels from 12
But it wasnât just punishment for Katniss. She had no idea how influential and volatile of a group they were.
Honestly, I feel like the 3rd Quell might have actually worked if the Capitol hadnât decided to just send all the most rebellious and threatening victors into them. You canât put 10+ people who rebelled in their own games back into an arena (and this time theyâre all together) and expect it to go well for you???
