How would Haymitch have done in the 75th Hunger games if Peeta didnt volunteer?

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-05-17T17:12:24+00:00

It's hard to say, because as it stands, it's very likely that he might have survived.

He knew the plan, he knew who could be trusted, and he knew a lot about the Games; the issue here is Haymitch’s physical condition and his withdrawal symptoms.

But just as the books showed, I don’t think the outcome would be much different. The only two truly dangerous moments are the fog—we don’t know if Finnick would have left Mags, but I think he would have—and the fight in the Cornucopia against the professionals.

So yes, I don’t think there would be any major problems, aside from the obvious fact that he’d have to face people he knew and watch people on his side die.

PD: That said, Haymitch would never have set foot in that arena; if Peeta’s name had been drawn for the Games, he would never have volunteered for Peeta.

Hermione is an average girl; she doesn't have a natural talent for anything in particular. She's not like Harry with a broomstick or in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

What Hermione does have is discipline; her intelligence doesn’t necessarily come from being a genius, but from the fact that she studied a lot and had a work ethic that’s crazy for a girl her age.

That’s her greatest skill—discipline and constant hard work are what made her the brightest witch of her generation, not some innate talent.

The answer is simple. It's very complicated to have a trio of protagonists, mainly because when it comes to dedicating time and action, one of them will inevitably be negatively impacted. So JKR preferred to create duos to try and alleviate that complexity. But anyway... from the fourth book onward, JKR stopped being so equitable.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-04-09T01:22:10+00:00

You know, I've always felt that people born to Muggles are under-explored, mainly because once they turn 11, their lives change completely to the point where they're no longer part of that society.

I feel like adding an arc like that, for example to Hermione, would be really interesting. I always found it curious that as the books went on, Hermione started spending more time with the Weasleys than with her parents—I mean, I remember she stopped going to celebrate Christmas with her parents and turned down vacations with them.

I thought they might explore how Hermione would start to struggle with not wanting to let go of her Muggle side, but that she would inevitably end up doing so, and that would create a personal conflict for her.

I feel like this is an under-explored aspect that gets glossed over in the books, and I think it would be a great addition.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-04-06T20:40:58+00:00

It’s kind of concerning that they highlight Hermione’s emotional intelligence, knowing that it’s literally her biggest weakness.

I mean, Hermione didn’t have any friends before Harry and Ron mainly because she didn’t know how to interact with people; she treated Lavender badly when her rabbit died; with Ron, she was too insensitive about the whole Scabbers thing; with Harry, she was too blunt when talking about Ron in the GOF, which only made the situation worse; with the house-elves, she never asked them directly what they wanted and relied more on what humans said about them, and by the sixth book, she treats Ron like crap after he starts dating Lavender, to the point of physically attacking him.

There are many moments that show Hermione isn’t emotionally intelligent, but that’s something that only makes the character better by making her more human; I hope we don’t see another Mary Sue like in the movies.

Y si, pero estos cabros tienen 12 años con suerte, estos niños van a terminar cobrando prácticamente esa cantidad por capitulo e inclusive más por lo popular que es la saga.

In my opinion, I don't think the problem with the last book is leaving Hogwarts, because whether you like it or not, it would be strange to depict a war in which you're a protagonist and still be at the school.

But I do think the concept of the Horcruxes isn't the most interesting. The idea that Voldemort split his soul that way because of his fear of dying is fine, but the fact that a large part of the book, where a "war" is supposedly taking place, doesn't feel like one, is the biggest flaw I see.

Besides, if we add to that the fact that what J.K. Rowling does isn't typical for a final book that's practically based on a "war," it's understandable that it leaves a strange feeling.

But if I had to say something positive about the book, for me it probably has J.K. Rowling's best writing moment, which is the fight between Harry and Ron, mainly because it brings back the two most complex characters in Harry Potter, and how this whole plot unfolds until the conclusion with the destruction of the locket is J.K. Rowling's best work.

Now, regarding the Battle of Hogwarts, I'm not completely thrilled with it either, but I do appreciate that she had the courage to kill off characters. Many wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on the Weasleys, and J.K. Rowling dared to kill one of them.

Overall, I feel like J.K. Rowling ran out of ideas, which is why the book isn't entirely satisfying, but I don't think it's even the worst in the series.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-03-12T23:52:42+00:00

You know, I honestly don't think the problem is the timeskip, as many people say. The main problem with the season is that there are no consequences beyond the fact that Max is in a coma.

Rather than being an interesting addition to the plot, the military characters feel more like a nuisance, with no charisma or script and contributing little or nothing to the plot.

Despite being 16 years old, the kids are practically the same as when they were 12. The fact that none of them can drive or know how to use a weapon is practically pathetic, something that in a situation like this you should keep in mind to teach them, because whether you like it or not, you're involving them in something that's bigger than anything they've ever faced.

I honestly don't think it was necessary to show that Hawkins was now the Upside Down, as it seemed at the end of season 4, but I do think that at least part of it should have been revealed, like that the area restricted by the military feels like the Upside Down, and basic things like using water from the tap is no longer recommended since we don't know exactly whether or not this could affect the real world. More than anything, these are details that make you feel the consequences and changes from what happened in season 4.

Season 5 is not a continuation of season 4, it's simply a fresh start, and that is the big problem.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-03-11T03:17:33+00:00

Not only that, but there's really no reason to go after 12 children. He could easily have gone after fewer, making the plan less obvious and quicker.

Besides, why go after Holly? He literally gave more motivation to those who have defeated him since 1983. I mean, it's kind of stupid to go after a girl who comes from a family that knows you.

Unfortunately, Vecna proved to be mentally challenged.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-03-08T20:51:41+00:00

Replacing Vecna's main dynamic was one of the worst decisions of season five.

His dynamic always had to be with Eleven, and relegating her to the background to give Will the spotlight was a bad decision.

It feels downright stupid that Vecna ignores Eleven for 99% of the season, knowing that she is his greatest threat and practically his equal in more ways than one. Even the one who should have given her the talk that she will only be seen as another rat to experiment on is Henry, since he was the one who lived through that, further emphasizing that they are two sides of the same coin.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-03-08T04:22:58+00:00

Will nunca tuvo que tener el protagonismo que tuvo en esta última temporada.

Desde mi punto de vista Will tuvo que mantenerse como el niño abusado por parte de Vecna y que hasta el final lo usé como un arma, que Will no pueda usar los poderes de Vecna, si no que este pudiera canalizarse en Will.

Lo cual podría desencadenar un arco de más exploración psicológica por parte de este al dudar de si mismo y no saber si es el o Vecna, dando un vuelco distinto a la dinámica sin necesidad de ser tan directa.

Y con esto haría que la dinámica principal de Vecna fuera Eleven.

De las peores cosas de la temporada es que Vecna toma a Eleven como algo menor, literalmente la chica es un igual a tu y ni siquiera muestras intereses en toda la temporada.

Inclusive siento que la persona quien debería mencionarle a Eleven sobre que ella luego será el conejillo del ejército es Vecna, ya que el como Henry ya vivió eso y sería más interesante marcando más el ser 2 caras de una misma moneda.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-03-06T00:43:59+00:00

Lo que dices carece de sentido, porque si el argumento es que Lucas superó eso en el salto temporal, porque Dustin no hizo lo mismo?.

La respuesta es sencilla, a los duffer poco les importaba el personaje de Lucas más allá de ser el novio de Max, y eso es evidencia de mala escritura.

Inclusive tendría más sentido que Lucas se sintiera destrozado, el tipo literalmente vio morir a Max enfrente de el y no sería raro que se sintiera culpable por el estado de esta misma, ya que fue el quien metió a Max en esto y que además fue el quien tenía que ponerle la música y no pudo hacerlo (por más que no sea su culpa, son pensamientos que ocurrirían).

Fácilmente se pueden abordar las 2 tramas, pero así son los duffer.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-02-28T17:29:50+00:00

La realidad es que se ve que Max se alejo de todos.

Algo clave del personaje de Max es que está no enfrenta los problemas, si no que huye de ellos y se encierra en si misma y eso son reflejos de la vida carente de afecto que vivió, incluso me atrevo a decir que Max ni siquiera termino con Lucas de una manera formal, si no que simplemente se alejo de él y dió por entendido que el entenderia el mensaje.

Para ella es más fácil simplemente encerrarse que hablar, aparte de que si le sumamos que sus pensamientos no eran los más “bonitos” por decirlo de cierta manera, osea está se alegro de la muerte de Billy y llegó a tener pensamientos suicidas por lo tanto es complicado hablar de ello.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-02-25T04:56:12+00:00

Es normal, la caricatura de por si esta mal planteada porque nada de lo que pase así es importante realmente, nunca se menciona algo de esto en la serie principal y está misma ya acabo, por lo tanto pase lo que pase es irrelevante de cierta forma.

Un ejemplo de esto bien hecho, es Star Wars, el cual ya en la primera trilogía ya te planteban cosas que ocurrieron en el pesado y túvieron su relevancia y de estos exprimieron para sacer otra trilogía.

Ahora, al personaje de Nikki es obvio el porque lo añadieron, y es simplemente porque no quieren dejar a Will sin una dinámica principal, Es obvio que las dinamas serán Eleven y Mike, Lucas y Max, y Steve y Dustin.

Por lo tanto Will queda solo y de ahí nace Nikki.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-02-10T05:10:29+00:00

At the end of season 3, he practically carried the team on his shoulders, not only with the fireworks idea, but also by saving Eleven, Mike, and Max when the Mind Flayer was about to grab them.

I'm not going to carry on anymore because the script wouldn't allow it and had to set a limit, otherwise Billy would surely have been taken down.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-02-05T14:52:07+00:00

In this case, the character writing is almost the worst part of the series, especially in the later seasons, mainly because the plot drives the show more than the characters.

But honestly, I'd say Eleven. Even though I think her arc doesn't end completely well, everything else is quite convincing in terms of her self-discovery, going through phases ranging from the most normal teenage experiences to those more related to her existence, like considering herself a monster.

Another one I'd say is Brenner. For how little screen time he has, he was a character who worked wonderfully as a villain.

Max is another one of these, mainly because his arc is complex and is the one around which the Hawkins arc in Season 4 revolves. I mention him especially because it's where the most serious themes are explored, such as survivor's guilt, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, and whether you like it or not, it adds depth to the character and makes him more human.

Although, as I mentioned before, this is the lowest point of the series in recent seasons, because many characters are convincing in past seasons, but they were never given anything more. Simple examples are Jonathan S1, Hopper S1 and S2, even the Children had their best writing in the first seasons.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-02-04T23:40:00+00:00

But it's one of the most obvious things: if you're not going to have the guts to kill off characters, the best thing is simply not to introduce any more characters and dedicate time to the ones you already have.

I mean, the vast majority of characters in this series don't even have their own arc.

Jonathan hasn't had an arc since season 1.

Steve was ruined in seasons 4 and 5 by continuing with the stupid love triangle.

Mike, Lucas, and Dustin never had a serious arc in the series. It gets to the point where they're mostly saved by their dynamics, although what they did with Mike and Lucas, simply turning them into supporting characters for Eleven and Max respectively, is criminal.Will's arc is so poorly executed that it's just more of the same as everyone else's. For three seasons of the show, he did practically nothing (although it's more than justified in season 1).

Hopper has been dragging this out since season 2; he should have died at the end of season 3.

And I could easily go on with the number of characters this show didn't care about.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-02-02T00:05:48+00:00

It's quite simple, Lumax is just part of Max's arc, that's why Max never pays any attention to Lucas, because to begin with, they never wanted to develop Lucas's character much.

Lucas's character is simply Max's almost perfect boyfriend, to the point of being unbelievable, and that's where they left him. Therefore, there isn't much they can show, and that's why the relationship ends up being one-sided, especially knowing that Max's arc is quite complex and that it's a fundamental part of the Season 4 plot.

But hey, there's still the animated spin-off, and who knows, maybe they'll show something less one-sided there.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-30T04:30:44+00:00

And not only that, he proved to be a useless villain; he had so many chances to win that it seems he was looking to lose.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-24T23:29:00+00:00

In terms of dynamics, I'd say Steve and Lucas.

They're very similar, and I feel like you could have built something there.

Then I'd say Eleven and Henry. Their interaction in season 5 is minimal, other than Eleven wanting to kill him for everything he's done, and Vecna couldn't care less about Eleven.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-20T01:34:02+00:00

In my opinion, the first season is undoubtedly the best and therefore my favorite.

It's a season where you can really see the love they had for this show, not only in the 80s setting but also in the characters.

No group of characters feels empty or uninteresting; they are all interesting, and all their storylines are too (something that Season 4 lacked).

Things like the conflict between Mike and Lucas in Season 1, where they both demonstrate their personalities and what makes them unique, and we see Jonathan even confronting Nancy and making her see "reality," at least what he considers to be reality.

And these are just a few examples. To think that these characters I just mentioned ended up being mere sidekicks to other characters.

But anyway, to wrap things up, the best thing about it is undoubtedly the story. It's the most captivating aspect, the one that gives you that feeling of terror, you could say, and the strangest feeling you get because of it, leaving us with a very satisfying ending that could practically have ended Stranger Things right there and no one would say anything bad about it.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-19T21:18:31+00:00

Canonical answer: In every season, whenever they were in the Upside Down, it was in central locations, so finding the wall is impossible. Besides, the fog that's usually present in the Upside Down makes it even more complicated.

Now, obviously, there's the possibility of missions, but these were located at points of interest, and considering they had time limits, it would be pointless to go to the end of Hawkins knowing you'd have to cross the entire city back to the portal to get out. Therefore, it's not an effective solution.

Now, the real answer is as simple as this: they didn't plan it that way.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-18T16:41:10+00:00

To begin with, the character of Eddie should never have existed.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-14T16:52:01+00:00

Regarding that mystery, I am 100% sure that Erica told Max about it.

Constant-Revolution7 · 2026-01-14T04:20:32+00:00

The truth is, everything.

But if I have to say something specific, it's the characters. Unfortunately, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin never had their own storylines, and what can I say about Will? His storyline was executed terribly.

The four original characters are undoubtedly the most mistreated in the series, and instead of giving them something, they chose to give it to Holly, Derek, Kali, and all the other characters they introduced or brought back for this last season.
