** Given Snow's time in District 12, it makes further sense why the Peacekeepers eventually become the faceless futuristic thugs seen in the chronologically later films. The last thing he'd want for his troops is for them to repeat the same "mistakes" ''he'' made, and what better way to mitigate those chances than to make them as detached and inhuman-looking as possible?

** This is also reflected in how the Peacekeepers are shown. In contrast to the futuristic white-armored troopers seen by the 74th and 75th Hunger Games, their predecessors [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thehungergames/images/3/39/Peacekeepers_with_H%26K_G3_rifles.png/revision/latest?cb=20230921014503 are portrayed]] as resembling both fascist soldiers from World War II and UN peacekeepers from TheFifties: war veterans rife with corruption yet tasked with keeping the peace in a still-volatile era.

* As decadent and wealthy as the Capitol is, the overall atmosphere is nonetheless more austere and muted compared to the vibrant if not gaudy aesthetics seen a few generations later. Given how the war that marked the Dark Days was just 10 years ago, and that the Capitol's reconstruction is ''still ongoing'' due to how devastating it was, it'd make sense for Panem's elite to cut back on overt extravagance without angering the citizens ''too'' much.

* When we see Lucky Flickerman giving the weather report while hosting the Hunger Games, the Panem map shown is very crudely drawn. For an easy reason: After the Districts came together for rebellion, the Capitol separated them by force. Now, like we also know from some clues in the books, the government deliberately suppresses knowledge about geography to keep the citizens in line.
* Also from Lucky Flickerman: We see him call someone once, seemingly booking a restaurant table. He books for two adults and a toddler. It is very possible that the toddler is Caesar Flickerman, who is his son. The uncanny resemblance of his and Caesar's actors just supports that.
