- Badd Medicine here and its Maze Runner reaction time
The big go home for The Maze Runner and this trilogy has been awesome!!!! But that cliffhanger.... maybe we can get one more Maze Runner? Teresa did have a redemption arc, but still not happy with her decisions. Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) leads some escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions that the Gladers have been asking since they arrived in the maze.

Honestly no. The story felt complete. The group escaped wicked and found their safe haven. But i think it would be interesting to know what happens next
Definitely feel satisfied. But if they did one more, we're in. 🤘
There are still two books (The kill order and Fever Code ). but they are prequels of the series, like the beginning of the flare, the creation of the maze and W.I.C.K.E.D , it's almost 5 years since the last movie but I'm still waiting for them to adapt the prequels one day (I hope it is well written because Im using the translator) Greetings from Bolivia!
I wanted one more movie, I felt they had built a world that had enough back story and questions left. I would of loved to see Thomas and the survivors rebuild a society, teaching others how to survive and rescuing other immune survivors from wicked cells that were still standing.
Great reaction though guys, I'm glad you guys liked the trilogy! They really got the most of the main points from the book so you got the whole story without missing much.
When newt says “as soon as you entered the maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere” makes me cry everytime🥺
i’m literally bawling my eyes out right now 😭😭
they should have been a couple, not Theresa and Thomas.
true
@@braveboy2445 yeah :( you can see in the books and in the movie their chemistry is next level and newt seem to be in love with thomas i wanted them to be endgame😭😭
I think it shows the depths of friendship and brotherly love. You would do anything for family: adopted family or biological.
Little Info about Newt, because the movies dont make it quite clear why he was so eager to safe minho instead of himself: Newt used to be a runner, when he realized there was no way out of the maze he tried to kill himself by jumping of one of the walls in the maze cause he did not want to life as a captive. He broke his leg instead and Minho found him and got him out of the maze before nightfall. Minho never told anyone what had really happened and Newt and him became close friends, Newt was thankfull that Minho had safed him and kept the secret of how he broke his leg. That is why he is so desperate to safe Minho instead of finding a way to safe himself.
Edit: oh and after that his leg never healed right, that is why he is limping slightly and wasnt a runner anymore by the time Thomas got there.
it was Alby who found him
@@gracecarey2701 in the books yeah, but in the movie it was Minho, you can watch deleted scene with Thomas and Newt on the roof talking about it
@@user-ri6oy1fy8u YES. I hate they that scene got deleted. It was such a quiet, character driven moment for Newt and Thomas. I hope they react to it. It's short, but (bitter)sweet
There is a deleted scene where Newt tells Thomas he jumped off the wall and broke his leg and Minho found him
yea there’s a deleted scene of him taking abt it
newt's death never fails to make me cry. literally one of the saddest fictional deaths ever :(
his death in the book much worst.
absolutely
@@KHWendy28 yeah but seeing it in a movie and the emotion behind his voice just is heart breaking
@@Nameless_TF true it was heartbreaking to watch like you want a twist where he lives but they had to stay kind of true to the book.
fun fact: in the books and if I'm not wrong this is canon in the movies, the blonde girl Sonya, is actually Newt's sister but they never reunited bc WICKED made them forget everything, Newt only remember he had a sister and died not knowing he just met her😭
This breaks my heart.
RIP to any Sonya and Newt shippers
@@SidPil they didn't know they're siblings so there's a chance 🤣🤣
is it was in the second book? i don't remember that...
@@urfirstluvv it is know in the fever code
A fun fact - when Thomas was reading Newt's letter, the actor who played Newt sat out of shot saying the words so the reaction was real
what?
yeah, also thomas wrote the letter himself 😭
I remember being devastated by Newt's death in the books. So when the trailer came out and the iconic, "Please, Tommy, please" was in there, I almost lost it
@Dazai Osamu Same, it completely wrecked me. The single most impactful moment of those books for me. I was livid....
The reason this movie took a little longer was because in the "fast and furious" scene at the beginning, Dylan O'Brien (Thomas) was actually run over by the stunt car and was very lucky to make it out of that situation alive and to make a full recovery. Obviously they had to hold off on filming but when they got back to it the cast said it was like they never stopped and got right back into the swing of things and were able to complete this masterpiece of a movie completing the series. Love your reactions ❤❤
And it was why Dylan was largely MIA from the final season of Teen Wolf.
@@johncampbell756 Dylan was the only reason I watched Teen Wolf from episode 1 to the very end, honestly it got to the point where I would skip all the scenes that didn't have him in it closer to the end of the show 🤣😅
Was just coming to comment this. A little more then a broken leg, that was mentioned in the intro
@@GrantorsOfDarkDisgrace A Teen Wolf movie is coming in January 2023, without Stiles...does that mean you won't watch it, because he's not in it?
@@augustrosepriv892. most likely yes, unless I hear a lot of good things about it... is that the fair thing to do, probably not but I'm gonna be petty in this situation and say no Stiles = no watching
In the books Newt's death hit me harder because he leaves the group cos he's infected and while running away from the city after getting Minho tommy comes across Newt fully turned but for a second Newt gets in control and begs him to kill him which Thomas ends up doing but he had to shoot him point blank instead of the stabbing which while reading was really really rough
in some ways i'm almost thankful they changed it although it was still heartbreaking they eased the blow in the movie by having newt stab himself vs thomas killing him & giving them more time together vs him finding him on the highway + the letter instead of the note. they took it easier on the movie watchers the books were way more gut punching
Yeah in the movies they switched the weapons that killed Chuck and Newt.
@@user-sy7rh9xp5u I agree, It's really devastating
Im glad they changed it🙁
in the book Thomas and Minho are never separeted, in the book Thomas's group look for the other group that escaped the wicked which contains Frypan, Aris, Sonya, Clint, ...
I wasn’t sad to lose Teresa 😂. I actually rooted for Thomas and Brenda instead. Very sad about Newt though. 😢
The ending to the Death Cure book left things open for Thomas to be with Brenda, and he most certainly did not share a last kiss with Teresa. Her sacrifice was her major moment of redemption (she pushed someone out of the way of falling debris, which crushed her). I hate that they put that dumb kiss in this movie.
Yeah Tereda definitely did not need redemption. She was a total B in these movies pretty much the whole time.
@@fatimajimenez5393Noooo, Thomas had more chemistry with literally anybody other than Teresa throughout the whole franchise. Kiss was so not it.
Brenda and Thomas are together at the end of the third book. Explicitly.
@@fatimajimenez5393 Nah not kidding, not the only person who thinks this either, and I’m not even saying it because I dislike Teresa. The was just genuinely no connection there, the others question Thomas about his feelings for her and every time they did that I thought “Why do they keep doing that?” Cause of how forced the idea of them loving each other was. What moments do you even consider good chemistry? The only semi romantic scene they share is right before she gets crushed by rubble. 😭 In the first movie she shows up like halfway or longer with no memory of him and by the end of the second one the longest time they speak is the same conversation when Teresa tells Thomas that she betrayed him and called W.C.K.D. 😂 Kiss was forced.
Newts death was sad, yet the letter was devastating. Repeating the names of the original kids in that maze, whose problems were trying to figure out the puzzle and drinking janky drinks…. Newt was wholesome and kind who kept them together in the sense of camaraderie. I wish his and Minhos friendship was shown more, you were right that this could be a tv show. And I’m glad Minho made it, that guy almost lost his life any plot turn.
I feel for Teresa, she was born to be a scientist, and she wouldn’t give up which is a flaw but also we see it pay off- the move where you sacrifice the few to save the many is never easy. I hated her but in the end I understood her.
"Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". "Or the one."
But yeah, I was devastated even when reading the book when Newt died. I was so hoping he would survive. At least Minho did.
Fun fact: According to Wes Ball, the director, the out of service sign going on after the bus tipped over was an accident. It wasn’t planned. The sign genuinely just turned on after they dropped the bus. Wes and everyone thought it was so perfect and hilarious that he left it in the movie.
Gally has the best line in the entire trilogy. Hands down. "You guys are nuts." totally deadpan. I crack up every time. Him laying there and taking the beating from Thomas says an awful lot about who he has become. And again when he jokes with Minho about the spear. He's still a bit of a jerk, but he has a lot more perspective now.
My favorite line was "Nobody's perfect, man" after Minho said he stabbed Gally with the spear
@@Opsity That's so close for me it's probably a tie. lol. Both are just too good.
Death Cure is my favorite movie and book of the trilogy. Newt's death in the book is a LOT more heartbreaking than it was in the movie imo but both always make me cry lol.
Also fun fact! Thomas Brodie Sangster (Newt's actor) actually sat next to Dylan (Thomas' actor) off screen and read Newt's letter to him. So Thomas (the character)'s reaction to the letter is very genuine because it's Dylan's reaction to it as well.
/@corpsebride42. I think Thomas Brodie Sangster even wrote the letter himself. and then reading it to Thomas (Dylan).
Spoiler for those who still haven't read the books.
In the books Brenda was actually an immune and worked for Ava as her spy, though Teresa still betrayed her friends and Brenda was the one that changed sides to help the boys. The relationship between Thomas Teresa and Brenda was a lot more complicated, I guess you could say it was a love triangle but not really because Thomas was so conflicted with his feelings for Teresa yet at the same time he started to have feelings for Brenda after she helped him and being betrayed by Teresa. The ending of the book still confused me to this day, instead of falling down the top of a burning building, Teresa died from being crushed by collapsed walls while everyone else escaped and suddenly found themselves in the safe haven area (I might be wrong I don't really remember now). It was hard for me to imagine that ending so I personally preferred the movie ending. Kinda disappointed that they made Brenda less relevant in the movie other than her relationship with Jorge when in fact there's a lot more than how she met him, how she worked for Ava etc, I loved her character in the books.
if i remember correctly, Brenda and Thomas get together at the end??
@@fioriveros2219 well, Teresa died so I guess yes maybe?
yes, they go through a door and appear in the safe heaven. Also, I agree with you, Brenda was amazing in the books and she does end up with Thomas but I think the way they handle her was great, for a movie, becuase I think it would have been tedious for the audience if they would have giving more screen time (is my personal opinion)
The director also made that safe haven specially for the immune as a last ditch effort to ensure they at least survived. She even left a message about everything she did was to find a cure and when she failed she wanted to at least ensure the ones immune can survive. That's the thing I hated the most about the movie cause it showed she wasn't truly evil. She just wanted to save the rest of the world, but in the end she couldn't so she let the ones that should survive live.
Ava's note at the end of the book. He was talking about two young boys who were correctly placed. He said it was because of them. At first I thought the two were Thomas and Theresa, but Theresa had a lot of unnecessary actions, and somehow it wasn't convincing enough. Then I remembered that Brenda was going to tell Thomas about her affiliation with the Chancellor, but Thomas silenced her and didn't want to listen. So the most logical thing is that the two teenagers are Brenda and Thomas. Brenda was aware of the safe place and was probably taking orders for it all along.
Newt’s letter kills me everytime
I'd like to think Teresa knew she could jump, but also recognized her role in all this and maybe there's no coming back from what she did. Maybe she was in a moment of choice to jump or not, frozen in thought, without the time to choose. Either way, while I do enjoy a good redemption arc, I think her death was appropriate for the movie, even if not necessarily wanted.
Apparently in 2019 the rights to the series were bought to the franchise and more movies were said to be on the way, but I don't think it will come. I mean I wouldn't mind more, but this feels like a good end and who doesn't love a good trilogy?
Exactly. I feel like they keep insisting on things to make more money, but when they continue out of this sole motivation, a lot of the plot, development and cast is lost. The quality usually goes down, and we see that with TV shows go on for too long. I think this ending was satisfactory, and they maintained the trilogy as the books were, initially
@@laylammorais I like how this movie shows the tough dilemma people who find vaccines face, when they have to start on human testing. It could very well kill someone until you get it right. Probably happened a lot with covid vaccines in the testing stages :(
I can understand both sides in this movie. At first I thought that Teresa was terrible but near the end I could really see their side. It's just cozy said, she was contemplating whether it was right for her to live after all the death she caused and she didn't. She found the cure for all those deaths finally but those deaths still happened. Still I feel like she should have lived because HOW DO PEOPLE MAKE MORE OF THE CURE?
Dylan more than just broke his leg/ankle. He also suffered some form of brain or neurological damage too and had to have facial reconstruction. It was so bad that they had to shut production down for over a year. And even after Death Cure finished, Dylan was so traumatized that he took the next five years off to emotionally recover before doing another movie.
Gally was never a villain. He was a scared kid that didn’t know what else to do. He was 15 in the movie, and he’d been there for years. The maze was all he knew and the stability of consistency that he had was shaken up when Thomas started making waves. He felt hopeless, so any chance of escape seemed impossible to him so he didn’t believe it
Gally easily became my my favorite character next to newt in this movie.
@@fatimajimenez5393because Teresa is a fcking traitorous bitch, but i hate Gally too.
@@fatimajimenez5393Teresa betrayed all of them, Gally was not in his right mind, he was stung. Even though he was a dick to Thomas he wouldn’t straight up shoot him.
@@fatimajimenez5393 With Gally it was a mistake made in the moment of high tension and being stung plus he never aimed for Chuck, while Theresa made a conscious decision to betray them all that ended with death of dozens of people from the Right Arm and the capture of the immunes so yeah to hell with her
Answers to your questions:
I read the books and they are amazing. The things that don't work in the books they made them better in the movies (of course there are things that are better in the books, like the cranks). To answer Oak's question, there isn't more in the books after this finale. In the books they just find the safe heaven and that is it. And about his comment with the crancks, they are not going away, the thing about this virus (and its uniqueness) is that it eats the part of your brain that makes you human, makes you analyze things, so the scary thing about them is that even after they are turn they keep talking, thingking (not in a logical way but still) they are really terrifying, I don't know if you noticed with Newt, he kept coming and going, his consciousness was there a moment asking Thomas to kill him and then he was gone and trying to kill him. And the things or roots coming out of the cranks, that is something they added for the movie, the cranks in the books don't have that, they could pull out their eyes, arms, noses, and still go on with their lifes.
We appreciate this! Always keep the tidbits coming in. 😀
"I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. Thank you for being my friend."
F*cking ouch
Newt is a character death that I will never get over. I sob every time.
Really surprised you didn’t know about the horrible filming accident that Dylan was involved in - an absolute miracle he is alive, to be honest.
Just to state again it wasn't a leg break, believe me Dylan would have preferred that. The opening train scene was when the accident happened, it was the part with the car and caused a head and facial injury that almost killed him
It was a lot more than a broken ankle.. Dylan Obrien literally got hit in the face with a speeding truck and had to get facial reconstruction surgery. It took over a year for him to recover. This movie almost never was released.
Something they never talked about in the movies :
Newt and Sonya (the blond girl) are siblings but they cant remember
Also there are deleted scenes these are the one i remember lol:
when Newt Gally and Thomas were in the tunnel to get into the city they got into a tunnel with rails and they were running while a train was there, Newt fell and Gally helped him and when Newt talk with Thomas about Minho he tells him that Minho helped him when Newt jumped of a wall
I wonder if the memories came back after being in the safe haven for a while? If not I'd imagine that there might have been accidental incest between the survivors.
The funny thing about villains talking abt sacrifices needing to be made is that they’re never the ones sacrificing anything. They’re always sacrificing others. The only exception I can think of is Thanos because he sacrificed Gamorra, whom he truly loved
12:49 “I don’t think 3 guys are flipping that over” “well I mean if it was us 3 guys…” 🤣🤣🤣
It doesn’t matter how many time i see this movie, I sob over Newt every time.
Dylan was in a really bad accident on set, the rest of the cast & people on set thought they just watched Dylan die. It really is a miracle he's alive. He had to have surgeries and all kinda stuff happened. Made me so happy to find he was okay again. When they got back to film this he had to re-do the train scene he was doing when he got hurt, which idk about you but I don't think I could've gotten past that ptsd from the first time going so horrible.
(*let's out a cry* )
NEWWWT! He was such a great character and his death pisses me off every time I rewatch 😅😩
This trilogy did a great job of adapting the books, probably one of the best, so I highly recommend the read (or audio, Oak 👌🏾)
So glad to have seen your journey through it, guys!
I love the films and the books but I personally thought the films were a bad adaption of the books it’s funny how peoples opinions differ
It was def a bad adaptation, but a good story of it's own.
Fun Fact: Most of this movie was filmed in South Africa (where I'm from) so it was really cool for me when I recognized certain locations like the bus station where Newt died and the wicked building (which is actually the Cape Town International Convention Center aka CTICC building). We even get a view from the base of our famous Table Mountain looking over Cape Town which has been transformed into the big city with the wall around it. The mountains in the background at the end of the movie where the safe haven is, is also very recognizable. Also, my friend was the main stunt double for Minho 😄
Much love to Dylan O’Brien for the injuries he sustained during the beginning stunt
I was initially upset that they changed Newt's death from the books (it's similar, but far more devastating and really messed up in the book). I remember reading it and thinking it was the moment I looked forward to seeing the most; I expected them to stay pretty faithful to it because it's one of the most impactful moments in the whole series that it feels like the whole story built up to, especially the way you fall in love with Newt's character....it's so unbelievably tragic and dark.
But I eventually realized that it was probably actually TOO dark to include as it originally happened, at least for the tone they were going for in the movies. It works in the books because there's a lot of messed up stuff in them, it's almost like the author has some weird gore/mutilation fetish or something....but it would have been a bit too far and out of left field if the films suddenly steered that way right at the end. It was a bit much even in the books, I couldn't believe what I'd read. One of the most upsetting ends to any character.
Newt was my favorite character and his death really hit me right in the heart. Especially the book took a long time to get through because of this.....
Im really thankful for this awesome trilogy. One of the best.
What I love about these movies is that they immerse you right off the rip and immediately hit the gas and never let off.
For me, Newts death in the movie was a lot better than the books. Still traumatizing, but quicker and more palatable. I still cried my eyes out in the theater of course. Amazing movie. 💜
I'm glad they change it cause in the books it's very devastating, at least it lessen the blow.
Yeah, if they had done it like in the book, I would have completely broken down. And also during the Crank Palace scene, where we really see his humanity start to go. Sorta glad I was spared that in the movie.
They couldn't have done what happened in the books, it would have been way too dark for a series aimed at teenagers & young adults. There was some really messed up stuff in the books, they clearly wanted the films to be a bit more marketable to an average audience.
It was so exciting to watch you guys react to this trilogy. As someone who's read the books and saw the movies, it's so interesting to see it from other people's view who didn't know anything about it.
These books/movies are so important to me. I actually was close to crying at the end of the video, haha. It makes me so happy that grown men like you feel and talk so positive and excited about this trilogy 🥲
The cast really is perfect, and the main group is still in touch to this day. Especially the bond between Dylan and Thomas is what I love. They are my favorite people, and their characters Thomas and Newt are my babies (any fellow Newtmas shipper here?? 🤗). So yeah, Newt's death still breaks my heart..
Before I write even more, which I easily could (I'm quite emotional right now), I better end here. (And there are enough people who write infos and fun facts in the comments, anyway 😉). Again, it was such a joy watching these three videos and hearing all the lovely things you said about it!
I wish they had at least kissed once. I ship them as well. Goddamit, it pisses me off that we are not lucky enough to see it in the films.
Newtmas shipper. 🙋♀️
I remember watching the movies for the first time. In the first one I thought "they are so great best friends". In the second I thought "🤔 there could be more between them". And in the third I was "oh come on, when do they finally kiss." I really thought that moment when Newt flipped and backed Thomas against the wall that would be the moment.
Oh, and then I read the first book and am still wondering why those two aren't canon. The vibes are so obvious that you have to be blind on purpose to not see it. The author meanwhile confirmed that Newt is in fact gay but I can't rememberif he confirmed as well that Newt was in love with Thomas. He made a comment though that he never wanted to put sexuality in focus because that was not the topic of the books but that he always thought it is logical that not every glader was straight.
The ending of this movie is actually quite different from the book. Which was a big surprise to me. It’s crazy to say this but I actually liked the ending of the movie better than the book.
I agree, I actually think this is a rare case where the movies cleaned the story up into something a bit better than the books. Not that the books done have merit, but I think the changes make it a better film trilogy than if it had been completely faithful to the original story.
when i saw this in theaters my dad accompanied and i remember crying for the entire last act of this movie. my dad looked over at me and then he started crying too. it was like an end of childhood type movie for me as i was 18 when it came out
Oak with the Deadly Hollows is such a potterhead proud moment haha. Great reaction. The best part about these movies and Hunger Games is that they are different but they both tackle deep issues and questions that are relevant and not sooo far off(apart from mazes and a killing television show), if we think about it. That's why i love these movies and i hate that they have so underrated. The ending makes sense with the perspective of should we try to help the rest of the world or do we just use it ourselves, an be the next fase of evolution?.
They do run deep into to those.
In the books, Minho and Newt were really close. That's why Thomas never told Minho the truth that he was the one who took Newt out of his suffering (in the book, he shot Newt, but in the movie, he stabbed him). It was a merciful killing, but at the same time, Minho could have looked at Thomas differently after that, and Thomas only wanted Minho to remember Newt in a better light.
As much as I love this series and would love to see another film, I'm glad they stuck to just 3. I have to applaud Wes Ball for not only sticking around to direct all 3 films but for making that decision to not split the final movie into 2 parts like so many others. Like most book adaptations, as they go on the movies stray from the books. The first one is pretty much spot on, the second takes aspects from books 2 and 3, and the third has the foundation of the main storyline but Wes and the film writers had to take some creative liberties and did a fantastic job. I laughed, I cried, I was surprised, scared, anxious, this movie had it all. The only thing I could do without was the kiss between Thomas and Teresa, it just felt out of place. I know there was a subplot of a romance but I remember sitting in the theaters and whispering 'please don't kiss' and being disappointed when they did. Overall though, one of my favorite book and movie series!
They did explain gallys story, when talking they said they found out he was immune and they patched him up.
3:00 it wasn't because of the broken leg - "Dylan O’Brien (Thomas) was seriously injured in a stunt gone wrong. Pulled from one vehicle, he was reportedly struck by another, leaving him with a concussion, facial fracture, and brain trauma among his injuries." It's when he is on that car trying to jump to that train. Everyone thought that he actually died, it was a miracle he survived and that's why they couldn't film and needed that break, Dylan needed time to recover (physically and mentally). He doesn't speak about this incident and every time anyone asks him his co-stars trying to cover for him, you can see how uncomfortable and agitated he is with that question.
Newt was my favorite character. He was always cool, collected and calm till the end. He was so innocent and nice and wanted the best for everybody. He was called the Glue because he always tried to keep everybody together. A very true friend. I loved him.
I'm waiting for the day that Badd Medicine reacts to the Narnia series. It's got great battle scenes which you wouldn't expect since its based off of a children's book series. There's a lot of double meanings throughout the series and I'd love to hear your discussions about that.
You NEED to watch Teen Wolf, that would be amazing, Dylan O’brien plays STILES there, and its one of the best character in the history of Tv👌🛐
Great reaction! 😊
I've been looking forward to this one.
Fun, but scary fact: Dylan O'Brian was seriously injured while filming the opening sequence. Causing a delay in filming and release.
SURPRISE!!! Gally's back! And I actually like him in this movie. LOL!
Teresa did get her redemption.
I think one of my favorite scenes, besides Thomas and Newt's reunion with Gally, was when Thomas, Minho, and Newt jump out of the window to escape from Janson, and Thomas flips off Janson. And I loved Minho's reaction to seeing Gally.
And Newt's death gets me every time. 😭😭 It took me awhile to figure out that Newt must've gotten infected during the second movie at some point. That's why he was already infected by the time Gally found them.
I would love a fourth movie! But as of now, I've read there's no plans for one. I would love for there to a one based on the fourth book, which is a prequel. I haven't read it yet. But I think it's supposed to be set before Thomas goes into the Maze.
Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
i’ve got all the books, i’ve started the first one, but i’ve watched all of them before. (i watched the second one not knowing that it wasnt the first one. i hadn’t properly known about the maze runner yet). i’ve been wanting another movie since i finished watching the death cure. but i guess with the actors being older now and it being so many years later i don’t think they will.
I definitely would have watched a Maze Runner series if they had created it, I think this trilogy was really underrated and didn’t get the recognition it should have. For me this 3rd movie was the best, the first was a close 2nd, with the second movie being my least favorite of the three. That being said they were all a fun ride.
The author wrote 2 prequel books that show the breakout of the flare and the actual collapse that lead to the founding of WCKD and the mazes. Would make a great movie.
i think that they should make two more movies about the two books. i don’t understand why they didn’t
THERES TWO?! i remember fever code and the bits in death cure. whats the other?
@@greysonalex the first prequel is The Kill Order. It takes place several years before Fever Code. Kill Order was my favourite.
@@user-ot1qi4mc3n I meant kill order lmao. I haven't read the books in so long.
thomas writing teresa at the end was an instant mood killer.
I'm so excited for you guys to watch the wrap up this story. This definitely is still my Fav YA book adaptation (from the three that came out during this time) Enjoy the Rollercoaster guys.
If yall want more Dylan and action I recommend Love and Monsters if yall haven't seen it.
Newt's death was the hardest thing for me to watch on screen. Ever.
Great trilogy and so glad you guys saw it! Dylan O Brien is fantastic and I want to see him and some of the other actors in more things
I'm surprised we haven't seen most of those actors in other things. Like Newt, Teresa.

Here are my recommendations for you 😅:
Dylan O'Brien:
- Teen Wolf
- The Internship
- Love and Monsters (especially this one)
Thomas Brodie-Sangster:
- Love Actually (as a kid)
- Nanny McPhee (as a kid)
- Game of Thrones
- Godless
- And I really love the music video from The Luca State (30 Minute Break) in which he plays the main role.
Kaya Scodelario:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Obviously they all have more on their filmography list but those are the projects in which I saw them.
Such a great trilogy 💜 glad you all loved them!
Teresa is so stuck in her decision because of her backstory:
She lived alone with her Mum, who ended up catching the virus. Her Mum then locked herself in the basement and would scream and claw at the walls so much that it was engrained in Teresa’s head. She could hear her mother’s wailings even when out of the house.
One day, she wakes up and the wailing has stopped. It’s been 2 years. She opens the door to the basement to find her mother in a pool of blood with her eyes gouged out. Based on hearing, her mother turns to her and whispers “they’ve stopped. The visions have stopped.”
Teresa was a little girl who had to watch her Mum descend to insanity and hear her pain for 2 years, which only ended by her Mum tearing out her own eyes.
When WICKED (as it’s called in the books, contrary to WCKD in the films) comes a knocking, she offers herself because she never wants another person to go through what she has.
The Maze Runner is the perfect story of “do the ends justify the means?”
Can you justify putting literal teenagers through hell and back over and over again for years by the fact that you might eventually get the cure to this horrible virus?
Wait... Why do I clearly remember Thomas actully tossing the cure thing!? I have this vivid memory of him throwing it to the sea and getting so mad at it due to how different is to the books in the sense that a cure in actully never found in the books and the movie found one and Thomas gets rid of it like nothing... Wut?? I'm cofusion...
But well, even if he didn't get rid of it, he clearly is planning not to use it so I can still complain about them actully finding the cure hahaha!!!!
In the books at the end they find out Thomas COULD be the key to finding the cure, after all the experiments and everything they come to that conclusion and told Thomas to go back. He does go back, but originally was part of a plan with the Right Arm to infiltrate and put some divices that would mess with the security allowing the Right Arm to atack and destroy the lab. The thing is that in there, Thomas is told how close they are to find the cure and the only thing they need to do is analize his brain,(however, they needed him alive while analizing his brain, so he would end up in this Dead-Alive state with no recovery) and how by analizing it there is a High Chance to find the cure, but is not 100% guranteed. So Thomas is put is this delama in which he starts daubtig, if his sacrifice would save the world and other imunes how could he say no? But as there was no guranteed there was a probabillity that his sacrifice would mean nothing and WKCD would still do their experiments. At the end though, Thomas was never allowed to choose, Jensen, who was inffected sedated Thomas and took him to the room to open up his head. But while being uncouncious Ava came in and stopped the surgery leaving Thomas this map with intructions that led him to a transplana (some type of teleport) for him to take all the Inmunes with him choosing to leave the future to the next generation (side note that all that was happening while the Right Arm was atacking, so is a really intense finale sequence with everthing falling apart)
So I'm really annoyed with the third movie only because of the finale. I mean, camon! they DID find a cure and still choose to say "Screw the world" even when the cure was such a simple thing as using Thomas' blood, analize it and try to replicate it to save everyone, being a 100% Guranteed!!!!
I like the MR movies, even if they end up as their own thing getting far away from the books, they still work really well. My only problem is still the ending! I can't get over it!!!
I recommend watching the deleted scenes for these movies bc this movie has one that I think is important to include about Newt.
So very happy for Dylan..I remember him from Teenwolf and was pleased to learn he got a lead role...here's hoping he goes on to more exciting movies...
Go Dylan/Thomas !...
🌿🌿🌿
great journey ! glad i was one of those people who recommended yall this trilogy !
I own all five books of this jaw-dropping series (the three movies are based on the three first books, which are the main tale, the two last are a prequel to Tomas working with WCKD and the 'side' story of Teresa when she was a kid), and as an avid bookworm I can say all five are incredibly well written. Obviously the movies differ but so do most adaptations of books, and in that optic the movies are fairly accurate, and even then they're just really good. If you want a good read, definitely check out the books, can't recommend enough, seriously.
i already loved this series and these movies, but watching with you guys makes it SO fun man
fun fact: at 14:53 the guy that is blurred out is james dashner the author/creator of the maze runner books!!!
Always love your guys reactions!! So curious to know what series you guys will watch next!! Looking forward to it! 🙌🙌🙌
I'm sad you guys didn't watch the bloopers of this series this cast is absolutely hilarious it would make you guys crack up
Whenever I hear your intro my mood lifts. I think I have a positive association to that phrase now lol. Then I'm waiting to hear Ready Willing and Able at some point, love your work. "Somebody call a Dr as Badd Medicine is BACK!"
I get Theresa's pov too, she is desperate to find a cure that could save humanity, which is understandable. I wonder if there weren't any other ways around the approach to find a cure than what they have shown us. It's not explained why they have to treat the immune/kids like this.
Great reaction guys, yet again. So pumped you guys are doing Interstellar, can't wait!
I mean I know it wouldn't have made a difference and Minho was exhausted after being held in captivity for so long, but I hated how Brenda was the one to run with cure for Newt. Like she was so slow and it didn't have as much as an impact as it would have been with Minho, one of Newt's best friends.
Thank you for the reaction! The maze runner is one of my favourite franchise ever and sometimes I regret not being there when the films were in the cinema.
I always torture myself with Newts death and that letter saying he’d follow Tommy anywhere and do it all over again just makes me cry every single time
This trilogy is just special. These movies will always stand out, compared to other dystopian films or franchises, for its cast and feel of realism.
They really should have made it into a series.
Here endeth the third lesson of this amazing heroic trilogy. Although these films were adapted from a YA series of books, they are adult films, not YA, which probably explains the reaction of some viewers of that ilk. There is no female protagonist with associated love triangle etc. However, there is a love story, albeit one that's subtly understated. The films do homage to the books, but the universe of the films is not the same as the books. Thomas is very different in the films. You could describe the film trilogy as about selflessness and about a band of brothers, who follow the principle of "No man left behind." You could also say it's about life's stages with the first film being about childhood, the second about adolescence, and the third about adulthood. This only touches the surface, of course.
The films are deeply rooted in myth. The most obvious aspect being the ancient Greek myth of "Theseus and the Minotaur." Thomas is, naturally, both the hero Theseus and Daedalus, whereas Newt is Ariadne, and therein lies the trilogy's love story.
Heroic stories often follow the same basic pattern. In his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," Joseph Campbell, distilled the world's myths into a common structure which he called the monomyth or hero's journey. It's very concisely summarized as follows: A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man. That's the "Maze Runner" film trilogy in a nutshell.
What's the "boon" in the trilogy? Obviously, it's Thomas himself or, more specifically, his blood. He can potentially save mankind. By the end of the third film, Thomas has come to accept this as his destiny which he will meet even if it means his death. Tragic heroes almost always die, and Thomas is a tragic hero. This is without doubt what the epilogue of the final film means. Thomas is going back to the Krank-world, and he is going to offer himself up as a cure even if it means his life is forfeit. Unlike the books, Thomas is not going to remain in the Safe Haven with Brenda to live happily ever after. Even though WCKD's HQ was destroyed along with the city, there were more than one WCKD lab and installation referenced in the films. Ask yourself, where was WCKD evacuating to in the third film?
The fact that the trilogy doesn't end with a conventional happy-ending like boy-gets-girl or vice-versa, if that's your preference, also sets it apart. Another reason these are adult films. Nevertheless, many people do crave happy-endings. Instead, the film ends on a hopeful note. Thomas is going back. He's not going to stay in the Safe Haven, which, if you think about it, is really a new Glade. He's going to venture out into the maze again, the krank-filled-world. He's going to try to save, in this case, not just Alby and Minho, but the world. It's an open question whether he'll succeed. We hope so, but we don't know. This time the maze might defeat him. The end of the trilogy brings us full-circle, and we're back at the beginning.
Thomas and Theresa are basically mirror images of one another. They're both betrayers, and they both want a cure, but they're complete opposites otherwise. The key difference being Thomas is selfless, whereas Theresa is self-centered. Theresa often refers to her own personal history to explain her actions. Thomas never does. To be fair, Thomas can't because his personal history has been erased, but, even so, we can see his altruism is innate. Personal history would have no bearing on his actions. These attributes primarily motivate their respective actions.
Hopefully, everyone realizes there's no way Thomas could ever kill Newt, even Flare Newt. The same is true for Newt, but not Flare-Newt, of course. In that gut-wrenching struggle, Thomas would defend himself, but always stop short of killing Newt. Inevitably, Flare-Newt would kill Thomas. To save Thomas, Newt kills himself, instead, and as the Bible says: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Whereas Thomas and Theresa were "oppositum ego," Thomas and Newt were "idem ego."
What effect did Newt's death have on Thomas? It's profound. Thomas is palpably different afterwards. He presents a diminished lifeforce and sadness. Not only did Newt die, but Thomas did, too. He will never again be the same person. Newt's death marks a turning point. From that time forward, Thomas will focus on being "the cure." He's not staying in the Safe Haven, he's leaving to save mankind. Thomas is determined to complete WCKD's mission, and we have yet another instance of immense tragic irony when Thomas, for a second time, offers himself to Ava Paige in lieu of the immunes. This time she accepts, and mankind might have been saved then and there, but Jansen, out of pure selfishness, kills her, and destroys the opportunity. The interplay between selflessness and selfishness is another aspect of the trilogy.
"Does the end justify the means" represents WCKD's agenda and is the central theme of the "Maze Runner" trilogy. It's a principle often associated with totalitarianism, and the phrase has its origin with Machiavelli, although the idea is much older. The principle is part and parcel of consequentialism, a teleological theory that says whether an action is morally good or bad depends on its outcomes. The more good outcomes outnumber the bad, the better/more moral the action. Under this rubric if WCKD finds a cure, then WCKD is very good, indeed.
Therea/WCKD adhere to this end-means principle rigidly. This principle is, unfortunately, a too common belief today. It allows people to believe their actions are justified regardless of how they go about achieving their desired end result. It potentially allows for all sorts of aberrant behaviors. A rather trivial example of this is the following scenario: My end is to get a certain work promotion. To get it, I work to sabotage all the other candidates. Hopefully, we agree that's not a nice way to behave. This is essentially the viewpoint of WCKD and Theresa, although they are dealing with an end of much greater significance. WCKD and Theresa are totally ruthless in their pursuit of a cure.
Thomas, on the other hand, believes that the means are just as important, or, maybe, even more important, than the end. His viewpoint is if the means are morally objectionable in themselves, then this outweighs any potential benefit from the end. In other words, the "how" is just as important as the "why." Thomas, just like WCKD, wants to find a cure to the Flare, he's only opposed to how WCKD tries to do it. Thomas is willing to sacrifice himself to obtain a cure and save humanity. He's not willing, however, to sacrifice the unwilling.
Theresa's/WCKD's morality is relativistic and man-centric, whereas Thomas' morality is based on absolute principles and God-centric. Even so, the trilogy challenges both WCKD's and Thomas' perspective, and makes us wonder which one is "right." I'm reminded of Pilate when he said: "What is truth?" We have man's truth, and we have God's Truth.
Some miscellaneous observations:
Theresa is so wedded to WCKD, she chooses to die with WCKD.
Cranks/Kranks. Krank is German for sick, diseased, unwell etc. The English word also has that connotation if you think about it.
Newt was probably injected with Flare at Jansen's facility. Recall the giant hypo? He was injected in that arm. The mystery is why it took so long to manifest itself. Different people may react differently.
Thomas was shot in what looks to be the exact same spot as Ben was stung. By the way, under the circumstances, Thomas would have died from that gunshot wound. The only gripe I have about the films, and it's not really that big a gripe, is that Thomas should have died at the end of the third film. Tragic heroes almost always die, and since there weren't any more films, his arc was incomplete or left to the imagination.
Why was Theresa put into the maze? She was always meant to coax Thomas back to WCKD, should he survive, as befits her role as "temptress."
Why was Thomas put into the maze? Well, for betraying WCKD, but also to serve as an experimental catalyst to complete the Trial. He was the best and brightest of the immunes. A real genius, actually. His selflessness makes him act impulsively, and he can seem foolhardy as a result. He was Daedalus, the maze-maker etc., after all.
Why do Thomas and, apparently, Theresa remember bits of their past, whereas the others don't? That must be by WCKD's design. Perhaps it's part of the coaxing back plan? WCKD always seems to want Thomas back after he escapes the maze.
Why does Ben not seem to remember being stung or, presumably, the Griever? We know WCKD can wipe memories. Perhaps WCKD wanted stung boys to return to the Glade sometimes to create the situation he did. So, they'd wipe the memory of the sting/Griever. The Ben episode certainly created a lot of stress/terror for the Gladers, which was part of what the experiment was about.
Why does the mob destroy the city? It's part and parcel of the madness of mobs!!
Finally, what a fantastic trilogy "Maze Runner" is, especially when you consider all three films only cost $157 million. The average cost for a major Hollywood movie is $100 million. You'd never know it watching these three movies that they were done on the cheap. They come across as much more expensive productions. Hats off to the actors for their incredible performances and the director, crew and SFX folks, too. Job very well done.
Oh I'm sorry I am the BIGGEST Gally apologist, that boy also went throught hell, he was scared and acted according to his fear of the unknown. Not everyone is a Thomas, sometimes we're just Gallys trying to make sense of our reality staying on a sort of comfort zone.
He was also very much out of it when he ended up killing Chuck. And it's not like he pretends to not have done it, he felt awful for it.
He accepted the punches, he lived with the guilt and gave his all to help the group take down the people who were hurting them.
I'm sorry I screaaaaamed when Will Poulter turned his head, so absolutely iconic. And the way he conducted the "questioning" of Teresa>>>>
I adore Gally and stand by him!!!!!
These reactors are fun to watch. Plus they actually understand these films. A rare combination!
I've enjoyed watching these again with yall. I Read the books and watched the movies so long ago. Been a fun ride.
Great reaction.
I watched the trilogy first, then read the five books in the series, and I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t stick to the source material.
The first movie is closely adapted, but they didn’t include one thing that would have helped the plot of the later two movies. The second and especially the third are bastardized beyond recognition.
I found myself internally screaming and throwing the books across the room several times because the last two movies changed major and minor plot points. They both opt to paint over the existential horror with big action scenes whilst removing the human aspect of the cranks to instead have CGI monsters, but also remove the climax of the story that involves monsters that they could have CGI’d the shit out of.
The movies and the books diverge into two fully different universes after their first installments. I appreciate them both as their own entities.
not just a broke leg 😂😂😂 he broke several bones in his face, ribs, foot and had to be in around 8 surgeries to get his face reconstructed
Even tho the trilogy is over I’m still staying subbed I love this channel!!
It was a lot more serious than a broken leg.
Dylan O’Brien (Thomas) is very lucky to still be alive.
Such genuine reactions guys. cheers
You guys haveee to watch Divergent series next if you liked this and Hunger Games it’s the big three! loved this reaction!!
been waiting for this love ur vids
Whoaa I never ever thought that the ending could be a set up for something further...Interesting and great reaction!
Another book was just released, called the Maze Cutter, that's set 70 year after the Death Cure & follows the descendants of those in who made it to the safe haven. Haven't read it yet but the premise sounds really interesting.
I can't find any movie that gave me the feeling that the Maze runner movies did. This was a good 3rd movie considering the 3rd movies usually suck. Another movie that had Dylan (main character) in was Love and Monsters and it's amazing too
I love these movies! But I have to watch them with the idea that they’re separated from the books. They butcher the story😅 But they’re honestly fantastic movies if you don’t associate them with the books.
Love the reaction!
100% they took out so much of the Sci-fi from the books, like where even is the telepathy?
Thank you for at least not being a toxic fan and being able to separate the two instead of constantly comparing and/or saying how you can't even watch the movie/show.
The in synch with the "I mean if it were us " when talking about flipping the Jeep made me lose it!! Classic bro moment
Awesome watching your reaction to this trilogy! The other 2 books in the series are amazing as well, prequels, and a differnt POV to how everything fell into chaos, really wish they come to the big screen too!
My favorite thing about these movies is that every gunshot has this weight to it. Like its punching the microphone. Feels more realistic
“but if it was us three guys 👀” i giggled, y’all already know
I’m glad that you guys have finished the Maze Runner movies and I absolutely loved your reactions to them!! I really think that you guys should watch the Maze Runner bloopers whether you react to them on your channel or on your own as they’re really funny!!! Also the car flipping in the tunnel of cranks, actually wasn’t supposed to happen but they kept it in because it worked with the scene! Then the bus turning on with the words Out of Service on the screen after the bus fell wasn’t initially supposed to happen either but they also kept that in!
I also think that it would be really cool for you guys to react to the Chronicles of Narnia movies I know that they’re based on kids books however the movies are really good and I think you guys would actually really enjoy them especially the first one!!!!
This was amazing cant wait for the upcoming reactioms!
The book, as well as the movie questions Choice. WCKD never gave people or kids the dignity of making a choice. Given the choice, many would volunteer to help make a cure. But the choice was taken from them and I believe there lay the problem. Forcibly taking kids from their families is never okay, even for the greater good. There always is another way
i watched this movie in theaters and left in tears. newt was my favorite character for a long time (he still is one of them) and seeing his fate on the big screen as a major book fan when i was a kid was heartbreaking and bittersweet! the movies may pale in comparison with the books but i still love them!
So there is actually a book that came out in 2022 called the Maze Cutter that is 73 years AFTER the events of the Death Cure but I haven't really seen much press for this book. Not sure if they would be making a movie about this. In the back of this book it does say 'The first book in a new series set' so maybe if this does as well as the Maze runner series we might see more movies?
i remember watchign this in the movie theater, awsome reaction👍
Dylan (Thomas) will always be Stiles from teen wolf that's were I first seen his acting for the first time. He is a fantastic actor.
*dylan o’brien not daniel
Dylan
i whould like to see a reaction to the chronicles of narnia.
good trilogy.
