whilst ignoring the elephant in the room of the whole thing, that being the big dog things. Presumbaly they are in the book, but it's still a rather epic inconsistency.

Direct intervention causing death. Surely, the tributes must kill each other or succumb to the environment. If rules permit the people outside can kill tributes on a whim, as they then do, what's the point of the game?

So its still the tributes fighting the others in a roundabout sort of way
In the film it makes no sense.

It's fiction after all. From a conceptual point of view, a story about a game like that becomes weaker without relevant rules. Maybe that's just me.

Plus its not really a story about a game, its a story of control and rebellion.

there wouldn't be hope if it became obvious to the districts that there was cheating going on.

the lass had to get involved to use them as a weapon. That makes sense to me. The dogs are just the controllers picking off people, which seems to go against the point really.

one is mentioned that went mental and ate the heart of every victim but was killed by an avalanche that she thinks was started by the controllers to stop him winning.
