Eleven reasons why Peeta is the best Hunger Games character (spoilers for Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay!)

1. He gave the bread to Katniss and her starving family out of sheer kindness
2. He worked with the Careers purely to save Katniss
3. When he was in grave danger from bleeding out due to his leg, he reluctantly accepted medicine only to plead with Katniss to use it on herself directly after
4. He was brave enough to talk about his love for Katniss in front of thousands, in order to save her with sponsors
5. In Catching Fire, when Haymitch is selected as the male tribute from District Thirteen, Haymitch doesn’t even have a moment to breathe before Peeta volunteers
6. When in the jungle with Finnick, Mags and Katniss, something that isn’t talked about enough is how he took initiative by going first and cutting the vines ahead of him, so that if anything dangerous happened it would happen to him first
7. When his heart stopped after encountering the forcefield, the first thing he says after coming back to life is “Be careful, there’s a forcefield up there”
8. Back to the first movie/book- when it is revealed only one can win, he immediately tells her to kill him so she can escape and win
9. In Catching Fire, when the mist turns poisonous and Katniss falls (this is in the movie sequence), he runs back to drag her up
10. To get any chance that the games are called off and to save Katniss, he lies about how Katniss is pregnant. It doesn’t work, but the fact he still cared enough to lie about something like that is crazy
11. When Peeta is captured and being beaten and tortured, he snaps through it and warns Katniss about the incoming threat, despite knowing he’ll be tortured further
