A genius YouTuber has mashed up Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games to create a trailer for “Jon Snow Must Die.”
Ever wondered what would happen if Game of Thrones‘ Jon Snow came face to face with The Hunger Games‘ Katniss?
Well, stop wondering!
The latest trailer for Mockingjay – Part 2 sees Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) give a passionate speech about her hatred of “Snow,” so it’s not much of a leap to imagine that she might be talking about a different Snow.
David Elmalheh ran with it, editing together footage from the two popular franchises and essentially pitting the iconic characters against each other for an epic, snow-covered showdown (a snowdown?).
Check it out:
This really was a mashup waiting to happen, considering how fervently Katniss proclaims that “nothing good is safe while Snow is alive” in the trailer for Mockingjay – Part 2!
Of course it also doesn’t hurt that the two fandoms have a few actors in common: both Gwendoline Christie and Natalie Dormer (although she’s not featured in the video) cross over from Westeros to Panem!

Heartbreakingly, the video also shows Katniss killing Ygritte, which is undoubtedly a payback for all the wrongs Jon has done her. We could almost imagine Katniss as a wildling living beyond the Wall, who sees the Night Commander as a vicious tyrant, and leads a rebellion against him.
In fact, pulling on that thread, if Panem was Westeros, the districts would be the areas beyond the Wall, while the Capitol would be Westeros. And in that analogy, Jon Snow would be President Snow, the gatekeeper of a more peaceful world.
This is brilliant on so many levels!
