What if Katniss and Peeta swapped places in Mockingjay?

- Hi friends! This week we look at Katniss and Peeta's roles in Mockingjay, and how swapping them would change the whole story!
At the end of catching Fire, Katniss is taken by the rebels to district 13 to become the Mockingjay, the face of the revolution. Peeta meanwhile, is taken by the Capitol and hijacked. Their two roles define many aspects of the rebellion and Panem's future, so how would swapping them change the story?

Story Diver is all about diving into stories! I look at how characters are developed or changed from a book to a movie, and I share some of the theories I have buzzing around my brain. Join me every Tuesday for a theory, and every Friday for a Character Spotlight!
I feel like it would have made sense for the capitol to kill Katniss instead of torturing her. And then they would probably say that she died in the arena after it was destroyed. That way there would be no “mockingjay” leaving the rebels without their most powerful beacon of hope, eliminating a lot of of the hope from people all around Panem... but idk
Dominic West I think that makes a lot of sense!
I think they would probably do exactly what they did with Peeta, convince her that the only way to protect Peeta and her family is to film propaganda for the Capitol to deescalate the districts and stop the rebellion. They likely would have found the idea of using Katniss who had already become a symbol for the rebellion to spread their message against it too tempting to resist, and she probably would have gone along with it to protect Peeta because that’s what they do, protect each other. Up until she learned about the plans to bomb 13, at which point she’d probably sound the alarm just like Peeta did and because Peeta is now a rallying point for the rebellion they probably would have hijacked her and sent her to him (if 13 didn’t come rescue her) so she’d take him out for them.
That would but they would have NO reason to kill her and the Capitol citizens wouldn’t be happy
It could work, but that would've made her a martyr, since many of the districts already saw her as a beacon. It's even implied in Mockingjay that Katniss is someone who might be a more powerful symbol dead rather than alive. One of the narratives that the Capitol put out in the original series is that Katniss is a confused girl who is being manipulated by the rebels. It's possible that either they would treat her the same way they did Peeta, or keep her confined in decent conditions "for her own safety", under the pretext that the rebels are misleading her and only the Capitol can "protect" her.
They got to be careful though if they kill her they'll just create a martyr it makes much more sense for them to keep her alive hijacker and then make it seem like she's on the capital side completely destroying her image. And I think the capital would turn Katniss into the jabberjay. And Peeta would probably be the Mockingbird maybe I don't know. That's besides the point but anyway they couldn't kill her because that would just fire up the districts even more.
If this was how the Hunger Games ended, i would have been much less heartbroken
and it would’ve been a longer series, too
J Rohde prolly!
poor finnick
I honestly have no idea how you can pull off every single lipstick colour! They always look fab!❤️

The fact finnick would have lived makes me so upset 😭😭💕
I agree
I Think Peeta would be called “Bread Bird” Boom
😂
If the plot unfolded that way, then there would be room for a fourth book that would tell how they took Coin out of power. Obviously Suzanne Collins would have to leave some loose ends throughout the third book (maybe entitled "Jabberjay"?) for the series to end up round. The fourth and final book could then be entitled "Mockingjay" and Katniss would have a better participation in this one. I think it really could have worked out.
There's one point worth noting in your reversed scenario - if the capitol took Katniss, they could have likely realized that she was not pregnant which the capitol could use to reduce both Katniss and Peeta's credibility.
But otherwise, your theory is superb!
didn't she say she miscarridged tho
Yeah they’d lose a ton of support, to the comment above that was the cover story for her to re-enter combat in District 8 after months of being the Mockingjay
When Katniss couldn’t get the line right in Mockingjay: Part 1, I reckon Jennifer Lawrence would have done something like that in real life once. I think Mockingjay was good for Katniss because of her Mockingjay pin and Mockingbird dress and I think Jabberjay suits Peeta well as he echoes the rebels words well. Haymitch did help Katniss help Peeta. I agree with you, Katniss would be part of the star squad as she’d heal quickly and because people still love Katniss she’d still be heavily featured. I honestly think Gale is important as well because he managed to survive after all the awful things that happened to the districts like the reapings and bombing. I’m glad the Capitol KIDS Games didn’t happen. I’m glad in your version Prim didn’t die; I liked that. I think Katniss or Prim may have been killed as they are like Peeta’s family and Peeta could be a threat to Coin. Full disclosure I think Coin is mainly to blame for Prim’s death.
Prim's death could also be (fully) placed on Gale as he suggested the idea of the 2 staged bombings. As mentioned in the book as he used to hunt animals, Beetee liked the idea of bombing the medics after so that is what happened..
I had a couple of questions that I think would be interesting as videos:
How were the districts made?
And
How/who were the people chosen for each district?
Abbie, The districts people are chosen by where they were born. If they were born in the Capitol, then they will live there unless becoming a peacekeeper. If you were born in the area of let’s say, District nine, then when the districts come, you will be a part of district nine.
I think they were divided the same way a country would be divided into states. By what makes sense geographically etc
Sanni, that would actually make sense, now I think about it
Just a Girl Who Loves Penguins, that actually makes a lot of sense!
I was wondering the exact same thing!
I don't think Katniss would have recovered as well as Peeta did. She was less emotionally stable than him going in to the 75th games. She was living in a state of fear- including fear of loving Peeta because she feared that she would lose him. She was self loathing and emotionally traumatized. She didn't have a stable emotional bedrock to return to. Her relationship with her mother was tainted with mistrust, her relationship with Gale was tainted with confusion and her relationship with Prim was deep but uneven- she saw herself as Prim's protector, but she didn't accept help and support in return. She was perfect for the Capitol to hijack. I think Peeta was able to recover the way he did because he was so certain about his feelings and his sense of self before the hijacking. Even before the 74th Hunger Games he said he didn't want them to make him into something he wasn't- Katniss didn't understand what he meant because her driving force was not her sense of self, it was her responsibility to take care of her family. Peeta knew who and what he was and he was prepared to fight to be himself. When the trackerjacker venom started fading in his system he was able to question what was true. He was also more methodical and less reactive than Katniss. If Katniss had been captured, Peeta's family still would have died leaving Katniss as the only person for him to focus on- her condition might have spurred him on to want to kill Snow, but regardless, I don't think Katniss and Peeta would have ended up together with kids at the end. She would have been too broken to allow herself to love him and become that vulnerable. He would have done his best to save her but it would have ended with her being another unhinged victor, and him unable to move on without her.
so damn true but why didnt katniss trust her mother?
@@billcipher2893 because her mother emotionally and mentally checked out when Katniss' dad died. It was debilitating depression, but Katniss was 11 and watched her mother doing nothing to help her or Prim as they starved. That's why she told her mum not to 'leave' again before her first games- and why she needed to ask Gael to look after Prim- she didn't know if her mum would become depressed again. Maybe trust is the wrong word, but she couldn't just rely on her mum's support because she knew her mum might not be able.
These videos r my medicine I’m obsessed with them
Could the Capitol possibly made frightening images of Prim in Katniss' brain knowing how much Prim means to Katniss ( I mean she volunteered in the games for her ) and knowing how much it would eventually kill Katniss if she ever hurt her little sister?
I feel even if Katniss was Hijaked she would heal but the relationship between Her a Peeta would be different, as she would forgot she truly loves him and would end up Single because it’s the same for Gale
This would be really interesting to see play out! Thanks for making this!
I always thought that Peeta would've surrendered himself immediately in return for Katniss's release and it would end up the same as the cannon story
I think that the revolution might not have worked because we know that peeta adores katniss and that he is very protective over her. if the capitol had katniss, peeta would be a lot more frantic to save her then katniss was to save him. i think that he would try and rush the operation. another reason is that katniss would probably not warned peeta about the bombing or, she probably wouldn’t even be allowed to know about it since the capitol knows the katniss is very vocal.
Yes but if katniss was in the Capitol peeta would know that the only way to rescue her would be for the rebels to reach the Capitol. I think he would have taken on katniss' s role and then tried to convince the rebels to rescue her and the others sooner
True, they likely would have been more guarded with Katniss's televised appearances.
theory idea:
what did glimmer specialize in at the academy? she is from district one, so it’s likely she went to the special school and trained with weapons. we see cato studied with the sword, clove’s weapon of choice was knife throwing, and marvel was handy with a spear. so that leaves glimmer. we see that she isn’t good with a bow when she tries to shoot katniss out of a tree, so obviously she was not trained in archery. and to my knowledge, we don’t see her with any other weapons. so, what did she do in the academy? or did she not attend at all?
well she probably volunteered so she must have been faced some training. But you're right, it doesn't seem like she's good with weapons
I think she was skilled in archery but not nearly enough to shoot a moving target like Katniss. She was one of the careers and since they killed nearly everyone who attended the cornucopia, they could choose whichever weapon they wanted. Glimmer could easily grab a sword like clove or maybe a mace, but no, she chose a bow. Clearly it was her preferred weapon of choice. She was killed quickly so we never got to see her skills all that much but I assume she's just not advanced in it.
yeah, I think that’s right but if it’s not then my second guess would be she didn’t have a preferred weapon as per se maybe was just capable with all.
@@mermaid960 She missed her target in training though and it wasn't moving or even that far away.
Maybe Glimmer took some kind of “Multidisciplinary Course”, learning the bare basics of every weapon available to her growing up. She probably chose the bow to stand out and wished to keep distance between her and her opponents. However, she’s probably the bottom of her class at the Academy.
I agree with mostly everything except for the thing about Katniss joining the star squad. Like, did you see Johanna? she could've been there if it wasn't for the torture she went through in the capitol. I don't think they would be any kinder with Katniss for her to be able to join the squad even with the rehabilitation:(
Johanna failed the Block test. If Katniss were to pass, she would be allowed in. Also, Katniss would be more vital on camera than Johanna was
still posting about the hunger games till this day i love it 💘
It would have made the whole thing different.
Theory: what would happen if Haymith never sobered up and never helped then
They'd have died
dead.
Really, because they could fight.
Hamish would never have warned them to stay away from the cornucopia, peeta wouldn't have shaken his head, katniss would have gone for the bow and almost for sure died since a bow isn't gonna beat a sword at close range, especially since the careers were targeting her due to her high score. With katniss dead, peeta wouldn't have joined the careers, wouldn't have gotten injured, would have still probs run from the cornucopia since hes not big on fighting, then camo until ether found or starved. With no blow up supplys plan, careers have food and outlast him, since he cant hunt and thinks nightlock is safe to eat.
now you know, Cato would probably have won
@@shadusnox wow... so haymitch really was a good mentor
I think they would have killed Katniss, Snow already wanted her dead they wouldn't have hijacked her.
Girlie, that black lipstick suits you so beautifully 😍
Thank you!
After watching this video, I'm convinced that the rebels made the wrong choice saving Katniss. 😂
Well they really “should have rescued the boy”, shouldn’t they? In that case, I wouldn’t have cried so much
The people in Thirteen seemed to know a lot of information about highjacking. If you guys remember that night when everyone called Pita a traitor, it makes it seem like they have been waiting for him to be torchered all along so they could throw him away at the right time. Catniss being concerned for him was probabley the reason why they told the truth about him being highjacked, as she probably would have caused some kind of uprising in Thirteen if they had just disposed of him. Otherwise, I believe they probably would have told everyone that he was just a complete psycho.
8:45 - Finnick shall live another day
I am so obsessed with your channel! Such amazing, well-thought out videos. You're also so gorgeous and rock that lip color! ❤
Thank you so much!!
I think Peeta would be hesitant to be the face of the rebellion due to how he called for peace but would do it because of Katniss. If Katniss would have a harder time due to her having trust issues and PTSD
Your lipstick is always perfect! Its so cool seeing someone use different and unique colors!
Thank you!
Please do what if katniss and peeta didn’t survive the 75th hunger games next please. Thank you.
Then Snow would continue to rule Panem and the hunger games would continue
Holy cow, I'm early. Can't wait to see how this video is. I'll edit this when I finish
Is this a Hunger Games video in 2020? Thank you so much you just made me feel so much better-
can you do a video of, “What of peeta died in catching fire” when he had finnick do CPR on him?
I love your videos so much! I don’t know how you are so smart and reasonable! You make the best videos❤️
Thank you so much!!
No problem ❤️ also thanks for the heart!
Something I noticed is that if they *BOTH* got out alive then Snow is screwed, As Peeta can move people with words better than Katniss, something the rebels can use. 'The Jabberjay.' While Katniss could be the fighter shown in propo's with what Peeta is saying in the background. Showing that both the Mockingjay and the Jabberjay are fighting against the capital, Peeta with words, Katniss actually fighting and being shown in the propo's. This to me will cause a much bigger ripple effect than just Peeta or Katniss,
Just a thought I had. :/ Idk if this is true really.
I wish this had happened... then I wouldn’t have sent that angry letter to Susanne Collins about Finnick and Prim dying 😳
I like the idea of Peeta in this role. It makes a lot of sense for the reasons you point out and could have given him much more of an INTERESTING role in the last book/two films. The use of Jabberjay really suits him.
Oooo I like that name Jaberjay for Peta!!
Also LOVE your vids!!
Thank you!
i’m LOVING the THG content !!!
How can you pull off all those lipstick colors?!?!??!

I love it how you describe every thing with every detail. Always watch you 😘
Thank you so much!
@@StoryDiver no problem! It really is true though, haha
Who else thinks it would be cool to get a set of Hunger games books from Peeta's POV?
Wow you have an amazing imagination also your lipstick is just wow! 🤩
Thank you so much 😀
Could you possibly do a video on what a revolution against Coin would be like assuming she won and Katniss killed Snow instead. It would be really cool to have a guess about what could've potentially happened even further in the hunger games future assuming Coin won!
I think i am the only one who asked for this video to happen. If i did Thank you so much story diver i love you so much and i hope you have a great day!
Who else wants to Suzanne Collins in on this?? 😆
Just subscribed to your channel- I love your videos!
Thank you!
I love these hunger games videos
can we get a tour of your lipsticks? Theres so many colours and i love them a lot.
I’ve always wondered this and I was hoping you would make a video like this
Theory: Who are the workers of the capital, why don’t they have to participate in the hunger games, and how do they get picked? Do they come from the districts or are they born in the capital.
No it’s not the Jabberjay it’s the Baker’s boy
This was such a good theory,I loved it,I wish there was a book or even a fanfic based on it
petition for peetas possible rebellion name to be “the bread”
It has a really nice ring to do I like it
EARRRLLLy this was such an interesting topic
This is unrelated but I actually expected catching fire to be something like all the tributes rebelled against the hunger games because during the interviews haymitch says something like “these victors are angry” but I feel like it would be cool if they did rebelled against the games like somehow breaking the force field in a safer way or having a plan so then district 13 can quickly rescue all the tributes
Soo Interesting and good
Glad you enjoyed it!
“ We should have saved the boy”-President Alma Coin
Tysm for doing this video I actually commented a suggestion to do this video I dont know if you saw it or if it was just a coincidence.
This video ia awesome!
I present to you Peeta Mellark, the breadboy
Loving the channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Theory: what if nobody made babies in the districts so the games would stop? I mean why would anyone want to have any more people to suffer.
Honestly it’s unrealistic no kids would be born. The districts don’t have contraceptives so a large majority of the children born in the districts were accidental pregnancies.
Natalia yeah I know but if they just u know won’t have sex
I feel like there must be some sort of incentive for the desperate, like a year of rations once pregnancy is confirmed. After all, the Capitol needs the manpower and views the district's people as something akin to disposable but necessary cattle. This may also explain why poorer districts on average have children reaped that have had less chances to learn skills needed to survive in the games
"Just don't have sex" is not a good idea.The Capitol would certainly send in troops to rape the women and force them to breed because they wouldn't have access to abortion or anything. Snow wouldn't just be like "Oh well, the districts are using their free will to not have kids. Guess the Games are cancelled!"
Haha this aged well
Thanks for the video, it was great as usual!❤
Thank you! 😃
Yay I recommended to do this vid! Thank u
Hi! I really like the drawings on your wall! Did you drew them yourself?
No, I only did the small canvases!
In my opinion, had she survived, Coin would have likely reinstated The Hunger Games over again only with the capital's children each year. I would like to see Pita start a new revolution as he seemed to be the best at the cameras.
I love this channel and I think you should have a discord server for people to give you more things to do and talk about. For example, there could be a channel that has theories that you could look at and discuss in your videos. Let me know if you would be interested in that. I could make it for you and then transfer ownership to you and I could remain as a moderator. I am pretty good at creating servers so it wouldn’t be too hard
I have a Discord server! It's linked to my Patreon
Story Diver ok thanks
They should have rescued both of them first.
Have they casted people for the new movie? Love the new video.
"what would've happened if the games were cancelled because of katniss 'pregnancy'?" maybe katniss and peeta would've continue with the lie, but i don't know,,,,
Hearing Finnick could have lived,I kept on thinking Mags😭😭😭
I feel like they would’ve tortured Katniss and brainwashed her to attack her family and Gale as well and show footage of them doing mockingjay salute and Gale attacking Commander Thread during the hijacking process to make her believe they joined the rebels.
Very interesting but I disagree with u (respectfully!) on a couple of points. Katniss had a much more difficult and complex personality and I think it would have been much harder for her to overcome the hijacking than it was for Peeta. And I think Coin would’ve still had issues with katniss because she was the mockingjay before they made it official. Also Coin wanted to quickly end the war - she still would have dropped the parachutes and I think coin would’ve still put Prim there. So to me Katniss would’ve wound up in the same place. I think she would’ve killed Coin just for suggesting the hunger games. You have Great thoughts and cool ideas!
It fits!!! Peeta and Katniss are connected just as Jabberjays and Mockingjays are connected!!!
I love this! It’s so interesting 🖤
Also on the note of the Symbolic Hunger Games, I actually think Coin would've rejected their votes and ordered the execution of the victors who are "traitors to the revolution". She seemed to be very proud with the idea of the hunger games, and if they didn't take place she would have suggested their deaths as a way to fill the thirst for blood after the war. It wouldn't have been so easy and there's a lot of manipulation involved if you ask me.
Basically similar outcome but better because FINNICK AND PRIM LIVES!!!
i think katniss would track down and kill coin in her mansion. Love your videos!
Peeta would have been insufferable until they got Katniss. He would take over D13 with his charm and silver tongue! Would be Coin’s biggest nightmare.
can you do a character spotlight for enobaria? :)
Peeta is the one who suffered the most but when I talk about him people say he is "weak".
I want this in a book maybe even from pesetas pov and it wouldn’t necessarily be canon just something to have
I love your videos
Thank you!
you should do a what if Peeta killed Katniss video
Please do a colab with Christian Blanco! Your my favorite hunger games youtubers!!
Katniss would have died
THE END
Yeah I'm early I finaly reading the hunger games
I have a cool idea could you please do what if chaff had met up with the rebel alliance right away
NGL peseta just smashing katniss into the glass is
I would think that Katniss would actually be able to kill Peeta when she saw him. I think this because Peeta has a fake leg that he can use well but it says in the book it isn’t as good as his real one. Katniss could use one of the syringes or other things that’s in the room to kill Peeta. Katniss has also been in more fights and Peeta wouldn’t want to hurt her so she could shave killed him. Or if not killed then severely damage him and make him terrified of her.
It's quite sad to see what could've happened if Katniss had followed Jackson. That was her test in The Block after all. Finnick would probably be alive and a lot of stuff wouldn't have happened and a lot more people would be alive. There was not really anything positive about the whole fake mission apart from her being a martyr, which only lasted a short while.
I think Katniss would still kill Coin, but she'd do so to save Peeta. He's a leader, a cry to rally. He can move masses and rally them to him, and Coin knows this. And he wouldn't sit back and let her do as she pleases if she started to abuse power. She'd do her best to be rid of him the same way she tried to be rid of Katniss for this same reason. And given that Katniss would grow to love Peeta, there is no way she would risk him bein harmed if she found out. And Snow would tell her, as she would likely seek resolution and still talk to him. Maybe she'd ask to be part of the firing squad, or have the star team be the firing squad, and just fire elsewhere.
Here’s a follow-up question, would Katniss and Peeta still end up together? Gale wouldn’t have himself linked to Prim’s death and so therefore Katniss wouldn’t push him away. I don’t know, therefore if Katniss and Peeta would end up together.
Video idea: What if Cato beat Katniss and Peeta and became the victor
What if the revolution begins at the 50th hunger games, with haymicth as the 'jabberjay'?
Can you do a video about Peeta’s family? I think Gale didn’t help Peeta’s family on purpose. Peeta had siblings and even if his parents didn’t come Peeta’s dad most likely would make them go. Gale didn’t even try.
I'm sorry but that is bull. Gale was most likely in the Seam when the bombers came and there was no warning. Peeta's family lived in the Merchant part of 12. Also Gale isn't that bad of a person where he would let people die out of petty resentment and while he may be jealous of Peeta he wouldn't try to hurt him on purpose
It's explained in the books that many people in the merchant class refused to follow Gale, thinking it was safer to stay in the district. It also depends on if Gale was able to get to them before the bombing started in earnest
I have 1 question which has bugged me for today
What would happen in the 75th hunger games if katniss gets killed?
I think Peeta would of said in his speech to Coin is he wanted Katniss to kill snow as he knows how much she has wanted to do that what do you think
I like this version better, pretty much all the characters are better off.
Id like believe if this happened coin would've been voted off and the woman from district 8 (i forgot her name) would takeover like canon
That makes a lot of sense (I think you mean Paylor) and I liked this story better too
