Here’s a spoiler-filled discussion of what happens in the new Hunger Games prequel.
This is the story of how and why he ended up on that path toward being an oppressive dictator.
The games are a competition for the mentors as well as the tributes.
It’s the theoretical best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, his friend Sejanus is making that difficult.
Snow tries to talk him out of it, but Sejanus has made up his mind.
Once again, Snow sees a way to help his family, and himself.
But Sejanus refused to give up on the plan.
Sejanus is instead arrested and executed, along with another of his conspirators.
He decides to flee Panem with Lucy Gray.
He finds Lucy Gray’s coat, but when he picks it up he’s bitten by a snake.
Presumably, Lucy Gray got away.
And the snake wasn’t poisonous, so Snow is fine.
This was why Highbottom treated Snow so poorly the whole film.
He saw too much of his father in him.
Snow gets the last laugh, though, poisoning Highbottom’s vial of morphling and killing him.
But once he gave her a very good reason to leave, he sealed his own fate.
Does The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes have a post-credits scene?
This isn’t all that surprising, since the franchise is over for now.
There are no future movies to tease or anything like that.
