The silent Mags in The Hunger Games was near the end of her life and knew neither she nor Annie would make it out of the 75th Hunger Games alive, so wanted to give Annie and Finnick a chance at a life together.
Shortly after, we see that the tribute accompanying him from District 4, his former mentor Mags (the late Lynn Cohen), volunteered to protect him and Annie Cresta (Stef Dawson) — the love of Finnick's life.
Chia Mags kisses Finnick on the mouth to briefly let him know that this is the last time she will see him. It's her way of saying "Goodbye" but in a more affectionate way.
He loved his mentor, Mags, like family, and had to watch while she sacrificed herself in the arena to save him, Katniss, and Peeta. What's more, Mags had already sacrificed herself just to be in the arena, by taking the place of Annie, the woman Finnick loves. By the end of the Games, Finnick is seriously depressed.
While the Hunger Games film never talked about it, the Catching Fire novel explained why she could only communicate through hand gestures. Katniss briefly mentioned that a previous stroke could have caused Mags' garbled speech. However, post-traumatic stress disorder could have also caused her speech incapacity.
The films, trying to be as faithful to the source material as possible, naturally had to include Finnick's death as well. In this sense, Finnick is the perfect candidate for upping the stakes of the plot via his death, as his hope for a future with his partner Annie made his demise seem even more untimely.
The female Morphling, however, appears almost coincidentally, and Peeta even mentions that they don't know her real name. Given that she is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect Peeta, it's safe to assume that the Morphling was committed to the rebel cause.
Realizing that they would be killed by the fog if they could not move faster, Mags kissed Finnick and courageously sacrificed herself by walking straight into the fog so Finnick, Katniss, and Peeta could live.
In the 75th Hunger Games, Finnick Odair from District 4 had a token that was a gold bangle with a flame pattern. This token was first given to Haymitch Abernathy from Effie Trinket as a sign of them being a team. Haymitch gave it to Finnick to tell Katniss to make him an ally, as he could later help her in the games.
Why do you think Johanna dislikes Katniss so much?
In the case of Johanna, they each hated each other because that was what the Capitol had taught them to do. They were from competing Districts, and the idea of the Games was to keep the lesser citizens of Panem distrustful of one another and unwilling to form alliances (or raise arms in war).
Answer and Explanation: Mags is eighty, making her the oldest Tribute by far to fight in The Hunger Games, where the Tributes are traditionally twelve to eighteen years old. She is a Victor from District 4, the same district as Finnick and Annie.
Catching Fire's Mags Flanagan was District 4's female tribute in the 75th Quarter Quell, along with male tribute, Finnick Odair. At 80-years-old, she was the oldest tribute.
During the 70th Hunger Games, Annie witnessed her fellow District 4 male tribute's beheading, which drove her to insanity. She has certain problems which included her closing her eyes and covering her ears, laughing when it was unnecessary, and staring into the distance at strange times.
Johanna won the 71st Hunger Games by pretending to be weak and that made all the other tributes leave her for last. Then she unleashed her full potential and violently killed all the remaining tributes. Johanna, being the only remaining District 7 female victor, was Reaped for the 75th Hunger Games.
Who was the oldest tribute in the 75th Hunger Games?
Mags was played by Lynn Cohen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. She was the oldest tribute to fight in the 75th Hunger Games which was made up of past victors. Mags was also very close with fellow District 4 winner Finnick Odair who she mentored and practically raised.
Early on in Catching Fire, it was made clear that Mags didn't talk, and instead, she used hand gestures to communicate. Interestingly enough, her inability to speak was never directly explained in the movies. The book, on the other hand, insinuated that it was due to a medical condition.
Mags (Lynn Cohen) was a willing participant in the 3rd Quarter Quell. Despite knowing she wouldn't make it out of the arena alive, viewers grew fond of Mags as she was not only willing to volunteer for Annie to be in the Hunger Games, but stepped into the poisonous fog to sacrifice herself with no hesitation.
Yes, Katniss did develop an addiction to the morphling, on account of constantly being sedated with it, however, I wouldn't say that she was an addict. An addict is someone who goes to a substance (or whatever their 'poison' may be) under their own mind.
Johanna Mason developed an addiction to morphling while hospitalized in District 13 for the torture she endured in the Capitol. When she was weaned off, she instead dipped into Katniss's supply.
What happened to the other morphling in Hunger Games?
Deaths. At the start of the Games, the Morphlings reached the Cornucopia shortly after Finnick and Katniss (because Mags swam to Katniss while Finnick was retrieving Peeta). During the bloodbath, the male was killed but the female escaped. The female Morphling dies in Peeta's arms.
Answer and Explanation: Prim is killed by a bomb at the very end of the battle. Alma Coin sees an opportunity to turn the Capitol troops against Snow, and she decides the resulting loss of life from her plan is a worthwhile price to pay.
Finnick Odair was a male victor from District 4 and the winner of the 65th Hunger Games, making him the youngest Victor ever. Ten years later, he was reaped into the Third Quarter Quell, of which he was one of the survivors.
