If you see Peacekeepers' equipment, they're dressed and equipped more like a riot police rather than a soldier, even until 74th year. It means up to that point they're more prepared to maintain security rather than combat. Only at 75th year they receive heavier gear like full face helmet, hard armor, and carries guns more regularly

Great fucking catch. That’s a wonderful detail, of the custom designer showing that Snow is panicking. Just like dictatorships and warlords. Every countries prime resource is its people. And a state getting to the point of regularly deploying non lethal peace keepers, you can tell their back is to the wall, regardless of their poker face. As the only next option is lethality, which also forces the people to step up too. As with every nation, there is an unspoken agreement. “You give us safety, homes, opportunity to provide for ourselves and to grow.” But if that government crosses the line, what else can be done?

Yes. Using Christian Blancos samples?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed that in the first movie you could see the Peacekeepers' faces even with their helmets on. Their shields were clear. It was not until the next movie like when Thread comes to District 12 that you see that or during the Victory Tour that the Peacekeepers' helmets were darkened. It was definitely foreshadowing something more sinister for the events to come. I forget if it was Thread's predecessor in District 12, Cray(?), or someone before him but in the books, Katniss hinting about almost going to his house like so many other girls have done before when Katniss was trying to feed her family before Peeta threw that loaf of burnt bread her way. So Cray may have been lax when it came to allowing the Hob to operate and such, but he was a predator. He lured young girls to his home and fed them in return for.... The dystopian version of the guy in the van with hypothetical candy. The other Peacekeeper who had red hair and was a sort of a friend to Katniss tried to help her and Gale when Gale was at the whipping post (in the books) and he got turned into an Avox for it and was put on District 12's floor for the Quarter Quell. Snow knew that Katniss would recognize her and wished to show what happens to people who help her.

I like that they didn't paint every peacekeeper with the same stroke, how easily Suzanne could've made them all into stereotypical villains and that would make us forget that we don't need to be villains or be super rich and powerful to oppress other people and do vile things to one another.

When I think off these guys and the people they serve in a war I always think off the quote by Michale Corleone from the Godfather. Soldiers get paid, rebels don’t. they can win. Edit: What this basically means it that soldiers get paid to do their services, but rebels fight for a cause that they are willing to die for which makes them very motivated and dangerous whilst the soldiers may get paid alot, but are not loyal and probably also scared for failure especially with what their Commanders like Thread or even Snow do.

I always thought america transformed into penum because of the chaos that was happening and at first people liked it cause unlike the USA (Canada and Mexico too) they got shit done and gave them peace. People who made penum were all the rich/politicians/military folk. Originally it was probably only a program to help bring peace to all 3 nations but it became very dictatorial after forming cause people love their power. Got worse over time especially sense penum was probably killing EVERYONE they saw as a enemy and not just people causing trouble like they used to and because of that the first rebellion happened

They're the stormtroopers of the Hunger Games universe.

Great video! Thanks! Recently I heard on a podcast that Suzanne Collins' world building was horrible.

For person who has read many types of fantasy/scifi, I actually think Collins world building is rather good. Panem is actually very close as modern day russia works. Also, as we do not have map available for us, we dont know how big Panem actually is. As there is many pointers on how there was rising sea levels and everything. Therefore it is plausible that population was fraction of what it used to be.

the Peace Keepers are an interesting and complex force in Panem. They are extremely similar to the Nazi's Storm Troopers. They too enforced the rule of the regime but they were also regular citizens who joined for various reasons whether it was loyalty, prestige, or they enjoyed inflicting violence or looting. Just like the citizens of the capital, Peacekeepers are indoctrinated from childhood to believe that the districts are beneath them; they are brainwashed and lack empathy since this is not a concept that is promoted by the capitol. They have a false sense of freedom and don't consider how they are slaves to the system just like all the other districts. The capitol was very smart in fostering loyalty from district 1 and 2 because of the proximity to them and the fact that the capitol would be surrounded if those two districts rebelled. Everything the capitol does is with a very specific purpose in mind.
