Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games franchise
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Peeta Mellark was a brilliant and interesting character in The Hunger Games franchise, but there were some details about him that were incorrect in the movies. Adapted from the novel series of the same name by author Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games movies were split into four segments: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Part 1, and Mockingjay – Part 2.
However, it was possible that production chose not to have Peeta lose his leg because it would require Hutcherson to wear the prosthetic in the rest of the films, which might have been inconvenient. 4 Peeta's Family The Mellark Family Weren't As Bad As They Seemed Close The movies didn't focus on Peeta's parents and siblings as much as The Hunger Games books did. In the first film, there was only one scene in which Peeta's mother, only ever referred to as Mrs. Mellark , was seen. This iconic moment saw her push Peeta to the ground and berate him over burning a few loaves of bread, which seemed a harsh response for something so trivial.
The extra context given about the Mellark family made their deaths even more heartbreaking, especially as readers learned more about Peeta's upbringing. The family bakery also had a bigger impact on Peeta than the films had audiences believe. Peeta's love for baking also overlapped with his artistic talents, another element of his character that didn't get a lot of attention in the films.
Peeta's appearance changed throughout the series, which made sense considering the trauma that he went through. After the Capitol captured Peeta in Mockingjay, Katniss commented that his physical and mental state had deteriorated. Although in the films, Peeta definitely looked weathered and exhausted, but not to the extent that it was described in the books.
