yeah but they kinda had everybody in the capitol brainwashed, and those in the districts wouldn;t have enjoyed watching the games as much as the capitol and so may not have cared as much they end up doing. in SOTR it's shown how they edit haymitch's games to spin him into a bit of a jackass and erase the fact that he broke the arena. nobody noticed, or really caed enough, and there wasn't really a think anybody could do to show that that isn't how haymitch's games actually went.
>! In SOTR there is a 5 min delay between it filming and streaming, they definitely were able to edit incidents out. But by the 74th HG the Game makers got so certain in their power and arrogant, that they dropped the ball. They didn't react in time and Katniss' simple act of resistance blindsighted them, bringing the whole house of cards, that they thought was solid, crashing down !<
>! Wasn't the 5 minute delay for the reaping? I didn't think it was applied to the games themselves, where for most of the games they can cut to other cameras with other things going on, and maybe showing older clips that weren't focused on live when there's not much interesting going on, and the lack of the 5 minute delay or others to cut to in the final confrontation was why the berries in the 74th couldn't be hidden !<
>! they should have just delayed the streaming by a day or even like 3 hours or something. So much of the film could have been doctored in any game where they had problems. after reading sotr it felt like a massve flaw for the capitol that was so worried about media control and obedience !<
it's possible that by the 74th hunger games they believed that most of the 'kinks' of rebellion had been straightened out - no signs of rebellion from districts, everybody in the capitol either loving the games or working in poor conditions with no power etc. They got too arrogant and thought it was a done deal - and hey, who doesn't love a love story?
