Ok but the thing is that no amount of sponsors and Lucky Flickerman and Lucy Gray singing would've saved the viewership of the hunger games if it weren't for one thing - the rebels bombing the arena. If the arena had stayed as it was, just a circle with nowhere to hide, the games would've been over in half an hour just as previous years.
It was the fact that the tributes could hide and ambush each other that made it interesting for the capitol to watch, and that is ultimately the reason the games were able to continue.
#hunger games#tbsoas#i was thinking about the post that said lucy gray's tragedy is that she caused the games to continue#and i agree but also it wasn't just her#it was the circumstances around her games too#it was the bombing and the change i. terrain#it was the sponsorships#it was everything falling into place in#ultimately#the worst way possible for the future of panem#the hunger games
