After four movies and a prequel, we just can't forget the Hunger Games series, and here are 10 memes that highlight the best of the franchise.

hunger games meme

The Hunger Games series had a remarkable impact on readers and viewers alike. Its unusual premise and strong characters drew fans into a world of injustice and rebellion. There were moments of heartbreak, comedy, action, and romance, and everything in between.

Three books and four movies later, fans still can't get enough, and, with the prequel out, there's more reason to rewatch and reread the series than ever before. All this content and emotional baggage find an outlet in art, fan fiction, and, of course, memes.

10 Peeta's Declaration Of Love

Peeta's response about being unable to win and be with the girl he likes is, "she came here with me." When Peeta reveals his love for Katniss during his tribute interview with Caesar Flickerman, Katniss confronts him backstage. She believed his declaration would make her look weak, but Peeta's story had the citizens of Panem hooked. Everyone loves a star crossed love story. This becomes a significant storyline in the series. Simplypanem has wrapped up the scene in one snappy meme.

9 The Quarter Quell Reaping

Once a tribute wins the Hunger Games, they are promised a life of comfort. They receive income from the Capitol for the rest of their lives and a home in the Victor's Village of their district. This is the reward for fighting to the death and being the only winner. Katniss and Peeta were the winners of the 74th Hunger Games.

Unfortunately for them, the Quarter Quell is always something special. Snow's spin on the 75th Hunger Games after being defied by victors? The tributes are reaped from the existing victors in each district. This meme by the.hunger.games.memes captures the probable reactions to the news.

8 Coin For President

After the Capitol surrenders, Katniss has a conversation with Snow. He reveals that it was District 13 who released the double bombing on the Capitol citizens seeking refuge. Then, Coin held a vote with the remaining victors to create a Panem citizen Hunger Games. Coin was no different than Snow. When the time came for Katniss to execute Snow, she knew what she had to do.

7 Finnick's Death

One of the most upsetting things about the series is that it is brutal. Finnick's death proves that no one can escape the reach of the Capitol. Finnick married Annie after she was saved from torture in the Capitol. He was reaped twice to be a tribute in the Hunger Games. The Capitol made him a prostitute because of his demand in Panem. He saved Peeta's life. He died so Katniss could escape the mutts. He never met his son. This meme by katniss3peeta shows the price that was paid for victory.

6 The Baby

During the Quarter Quell tribute interviews with Caesar Flickerman, the tributes were saying anything to try and stop the games. They had already gone through this once before, and one Hunger Games is more than enough.

Peeta surprised everyone when he revealed that Katniss was pregnant, and an immediate uproar ensued. But, not even a pregnancy would stop the Games. Nevertheless, as this meme by the.hunger.games.memes shows, Haymitch was proud. Katniss had to be constantly reminded of her "pregnancy" inside the arena to keep up pretenses.

5 Devastation

This meme by @simplypanem shows just how chaotic a read of Mockingjay really is. It was an emotional rollercoaster as fans experienced the fresh turmoil of their favorite characters. The Peeta that they knew and loved from the first two novels was hijacked and suffering.

The reason Katniss volunteered at the reaping was to save Prim from competing in the Games and dying in the arena, but Prim died anyway, and the charming and tortured Finnick, who just married his sweetheart, was mauled to death by Capitol mutts. A harrowing read, indeed.

4 Gale Watching Katniss & Peeta's Romance

Thehungergames_rue's meme has taken a hilarious still from the sitcom Friends and used it to describe The Hunger Games love triangle. Gale loves Katniss. He hated seeing her volunteer and wanted to volunteer, as well, but he had to stay and look after her family, it was something she trusted him to do.

So he did, and, on the screens shared across the districts, Gale watched as Katniss and Peeta developed a romance. Meanwhile, Gale was made to be Katniss's cousin to appear non-threatening to her romance.

3 Peeta Mellark

Peeta Mellark stole readers' and viewers' hearts, as supported by this meme by peeta_thebaker. Peeta was the baker's son, the one who had no one to volunteer for him. The boy whose mother didn't care for him. He purposely burnt bread to give to a starving Katniss.

He fell in love with her from the moment he heard her sing. He described a sunset to the morphing who died for him. He remained kind throughout all his hardships. He was tortured and hijacked by the Capitol and managed to pull through.

2 A True Rebel

meme

This meme by simplypanem sheds light on Katniss's rebellious nature. She knew she needed the bow and arrows to survive. It didn't matter what Haymitch or Peeta said. Archery was one of her biggest strengths.

Katniss learned foraging and hunting from her father, and he even made her a series of weapons, including a bow, from a hollow tree. She managed to make a run for a bag of supplies near the Cornucopia despite nearly getting killed.

1 Haymitch Really Does Care

Haymitch tried his best to save both Peeta and Katniss during the Games, as highlighted in this meme by katniss3peeta. Although he appeared to be nothing but drunk and apathetic at first, he really did start to care for them. He made sure they had sponsors during the Games and sent them things to help them survive.

He promised Katniss he would volunteer for Peeta if Peeta was chosen at the Quarter Quell reaping. He made sure Katniss and Peeta had allies during the Quarter Quell. He saved Katniss from the arena and helped save Peeta from the Capitol. In the beginning, he was their reluctant mentor, and, in the end, he was their friend.
