Want even more screw-ups?

Post by rosebaby3892 »

But just like that: wasn't the theme of this whole sequence about wandering far behind the lines? As we were told at length? So, what are the Capitol troops doing here, with vehicles and all? Didn't they see that there was a whole army of rebels on the way?

Boohoo… nothing holds… nothing…

In any case, once there, the bad guys quickly approach the building our heroes left shortly before. And the two Jean-Jacques inside, visibly unenthusiastic about surrendering, open fire on the bad guys. After a brief exchange of fire, the Capitol decides to fire a big rocket into the pile, and the building collapses: goodbye, Jean-Jacques.

Hidden in their neighboring building, our heroes are very sad. If we had been told that the Jean-Jacques were going to die, then... when suddenly, a local television that was on (the city is in ruins, but the power is working perfectly, thank you) starts playing music to announce an important message from the Capitol. Then Caesar, host of the Hunger Games (and apparently the only presenter of all the Capitol shows, regardless of the subject), appears on the screen and announces... that Katniss is dead! And to prove it, shows the images from the Capitol cameras around the poop trap. We see Katniss and her friends running to hide in a building to escape the slimy tide, then the images of the Capitol troops arriving on the scene and destroying everything with rockets. "  There, she's dead, that's it, nasty Katniss ," explains Caesar. Yes, Caesar is serious. And yes, the Capitol really believes that Katniss is dead.

Where do we start? The fact that the guys had cameras everywhere but apparently buy phone number list forgot they also had footage of Katniss leaving the building? The fact that the Resistance wasn't worried about advancing through cameras, exactly? The fact that Caesar hosts a special about Katniss's supposed death about 7 seconds after said event? The fact that...

No, honestly, let's stop. There's too much to say, it's so nonsense.

What follows is an intervention from President Snow himself, quickly hacked to make way for an intervention from the President, who, from District 13, says that it's too stupid to have lost Katniss, but that in her memory, we will bring down the Capitol. Nothing very interesting. Because whatever happens, from now on, the mission must continue, but no longer in the open streets... hey! What if we went through the Capitol's underground subway?

But... but?! And no one thought of that? And they're not even trapped?! What! I! Gnnnn!

The Capitole subway: a safe and fast way to get around. Even in case of war. It was enough to think of it. This image proves it: it's a free highway for everyone. Nice.
Well. Let's just say everything is normal. Our heroes make their way through the Capitol subway tunnels, then, disturbed by convoys full of soldiers passing by (but always just when they have a place to hide), decide to go through the sewers. These sewers are very clean, you should know: not a rat, not a dropping floating around, you could almost call them a pretty underground river. Katniss would definitely be less silly with a half-digested burrito stuck to her cheek while she floats amidst the remains of a drunken evening. So our heroes make their way there, before taking a break for the night.
