Looking forward to The Death Cure. Definitely my favorite of the trilogy, where they attempt to rescue the true main character, Minho.
It was alright, some of the action scenes are way too drawn out and they’ve altered the plotline so much that the characters don’t have a lot to do other than these drawn out action scenes
@@samiam101700I mean they is going to war with the government that runs everything
minho ain’t got shit on thomas 🥱
I didn’t even see the 3 rd but I saw the first 2
*cries in Newt*
If I've learned anything from this, Mello WILL leave you behind to stay alive 🤣
🤣😂😭💀 All You'll See Is Me Skipping Away
@@HelloMellowXVI u dirtyy🤣
The thing I've always respected about these movies is that despite being based off YA novels they never skimped on the production design or action sequences. Dylan O'Brien actually injured himself doing stunt work on the 3rd movie that delayed filming
I totally understand the malice towards Winston because he really doesn't do too much in these movies. But the reason his death was drawn out is because in the books he is a much bigger character and his death was much more impactful. Plus you gotta think some of these kids have known Winston forever and care about him much more than we would with his like 10 mins of screen time lmao
The “I guess” at the end killed meeee
Lol "idk why people don't like this movie." Immediately after "this is the most cliche lines and actress I've ever seen." That about nails it.
I mean clichés can be fun. The books were fire though. I'm not mad about the movies either, could be way worse lol
@@xapokalypseI actually liked the movies a lot! The action and adventure makes up for the script. I think Catching Fire is the only YA movie that surpassed my expectations.
The films are great
@@xapokalypse you must have not read the 2nd book then. The pacing and plot and the amount of random incoherent stuff that happens is SO insane that it feels like the plot of a Smiling Friends episode lmao.
And the 3rd book is just so damn slow. Only the 1st book is alright. The movies are so much better lol.
Winston was in maze runner one but he way younger 😂
"She smell like fish" 🤣🤣🤣
Peter Jackson 😂😂 I think you meant Percy Jackson
We learn a number of things during "The Scorch Trials." We learn that the immunes can treat the Flare, but they can't cure it. The whole idea behind the Trials is to create something like engrams in the brain which would alter the brain's chemistry and so the enzyme which is used as a treatment. The idea is that if the right combination of engrams is produced through the Trials, which are complex, terrifying and potentially deadly puzzles to solve, a cure might be found. It's the trilogy's McGuffin, so you can't read too much into it, however. When Thomas and the Gladers arrive at Jansen's facility, none of the immunes is a cure. At Jansen's facility, Phase Two begins. Phase Two consists of virtual Trials which explains some of the headgear on the immunes. Simultaneously, the enzyme is extracted directly from their brains. Presumably this is for efficacy testing as well as use in treatment. When one of the boys from another Maze tells the Gladers that those chosen by Jansen are going to a farm, he's right. They're going to a farm to be harvested because they're the crop.
In our hero's adventure-journey, Teresa clearly represents the monomyth's temptress who tries to derail Thomas. She doesn't tempt Thomas with sex, but with arguments both logical and emotional advocating WCKD's viewpoint. It's reasonable to suspect her from the very beginning. Unlike Thomas, she completely broke the Glade's paradigm. Her arrival in the Glade is untimely, she's female, and she heralds the end of the Glade's supply lifeline. Totally inauspicious. Kaya Scodelario does a good job of making her character seem suspect from the get-go. There always seems to be a mistrust-invoking aura about her. In the "Scorch Trials," she tells Thomas "Everything was fine until you ...." This implies she never approved of whatever he'd done. Thomas' drug-induced dream-vision at Marcus' party makes it clear Teresa wasn't part of Thomas' betrayal of WCKD. Thomas acted alone. The longer Teresa is in contact with Thomas through the first two films, the further she seems to move away from him. This begs the question of why Teresa was sent to the Glade. In the first film, Thomas himself even asks her if she's sure she doesn't remember more of her past life. Does he have some subconscious suspicion about her? There are interesting parallels between Teresa and Thomas. Both Teresa and Thomas are betrayers. Which one is evil depends on your answer to the films' theme: Does the end justify means? They both want a cure for the Flare. However, Teresa/WCKD are ruthless in pursuit of a cure, willing to sacrifice however many immunes it takes. Thomas, on the other hand, is completely altruistic. He will sacrifice himself but not the unwilling.
One wonders if after Thomas stung himself in the first film, he doesn't remember a little more than he lets on. He acts like he does. He may know why he was put into the Glade. Earlier, he told Newt and the others he didn't recognize Teresa, but we know he did. Very uncharacteristic of Thomas to lie. Again, does he have suspicions about Teresa and not want to give voice to them? Or is he afraid admitting he knows Teresa will make the Gladers more suspicious of him? In the second film, the purpose behind Thomas' questioning by Jansen was to ascertain whether Thomas has been rehabilitated and can be brought back into the WCKD fold. Thomas clearly was a very important and a valued asset to WCKD before his fall from grace. If he'd passed Jansen's test, he would have had his memory completely restored like Teresa. After Teresa's memory is restored, it's increasingly clear Teresa completely agrees with WCKD's objectives and means. She even begins subtly showing disgust or animosity towards Thomas. Her reaction as she looked at the handheld radio at Jorge's base sealed the deal. She is going to betray Thomas. The only question was under what circumstances, although you might assume it'll happen when the maximal harm will be done.
Teresa is a villain. Theresa clearly didn't care about what would happen to the Right Arm personnel. In fact, we know she considered betraying Thomas et al. at Jorge's when she hesitated to release them from their upside-down restraints. We know she did take the radio at Jorge's. So, she could have alerted WCKD before they got to the Right Arm camp and prevented unnecessary bloodshed. It's almost like she was waiting until they found the Right Arm. Indeed, Theresa is so invested in WCKD she clearly wanted the Right Arm eliminated because it is a threat to WCKD and to any potential cure as she saw it. She regards the immunes as lab rats and as a means to an end (the cure). She doesn't really care about them as people per se. She cares more about Thomas because he was a valuable resource (medical doctor/researcher) to WCKD formerly, and she wants him to rejoin WCKD because he might find the cure. Basically, Theresa and WCKD are one and the same. This should be remembered in the context of the third film as well.
The reason why both Thomas and Teresa were implanted with the mantra "WCKD is good" was to prep them for reintroduction into WCKD. Since WCKD can control memories via its brain implants, it wanted to wipe Thomas' memories of his opposition to WCKD while making him think WCKD was pursuing the proper course with regard to finding a cure to Flare. This didn't work with Thomas, however, because he was able to remember WCKD wasn't good in his view. Thomas even tells Jansen he knows how WCKD attempted to manipulate him into rejoining when he says: "Let me guess, WCKD is good" as he and the others are escaping. At that point, Jansen realises Thomas is a lost cause as far as WCKD is concerned and gives up trying to persuade Thomas.
In "Scorch Trials" we discover why Thomas was put into the Glade. He'd betrayed WCKD to the Right Arm. Specifically, he informed the Right Arm about the locations of all WCKD's facilities. Presumably, Thomas was sent to the Glade in lieu of immediate death because he was an immune, and WCKD didn't want to "waste" him. In other words, whatever actions Thomas undertook in the Maze and any prospective trauma his potential death might cause might enhance the efficacy of the surviving Gladers anti-Flare enzyme. His WCKD tag readout at Jorge's did say "To be killed." On the other hand, since Thomas was the best and brightest of the immunes, WCKD may have hoped he'd serve as a catalyst for the Gladers and bring the experiment to completion quickly. That's certainly what happened. So, WCKD may have intended to send him to the Glade all along, and he just made it easier for them. Be that as it may, it's clear from what both Jansen and Ava Paige do and say in the second film that they want Thomas back in WCKD if possible. Thomas clearly was important before the Glade, and his importance to WCKD may have increased afterwards. What does Ava Paige say at the end of the first film: "Thomas continues to surprise and impress. He may be the key."
There's an especially interesting scene near the end of "Scorch Trials." WCKD has seized control of the Right Arm base because of Teresa's treachery and is ready to evacuate the immunes and kill the Right Arm personnel. Thomas, who had escaped, surrenders himself. This is really an act of desperation. He has a bomb, and he's trying to make a bargain with WCKD. He suspects WCKD wants him. This is confirmed by Jansen who says: "Where's Thomas?" He might not like Thomas at this point, but he wants him alive. Thomas threatens to blow himself up unless Ava Pagie/WCKD releases the immunes, but Ava Paige rejects his offer. Here's where Thomas being selfless to a fault has created a dilemma. If he kills himself, he accomplishes nothing. Yeah, he escapes WCKD and probably frustrates their purpose, but he doesn't save the others. Saving the others is his goal. As always, he doesn't care about himself. When the others indicate they are willing to die, too, to escape WCKD, Thomas has a tough choice to make. Does he kill them all? This is a kind of mercy-killing, and although TMR champions self-sacrifice for others, it's uncomfortable with the concept of mercy-killing. Again, yes, if Thomas kills them all, they escape WCKD, but Thomas really wants them to live and live free from WCKD. If he relents, then they are all under WCKD control. He obviously doesn't want that, either. That's the dilemma. The choice should be the one that's the closest to the actual objective. That must be life, of a sort, under WCKD. While there's life, there's hope. But that doesn't seem to be the direction Thomas is inclining towards. Very out of character for Thomas. Clearly, he's struggling with what to do, and we don't often make good choices when emotions are high. Teresa and Ava Paige plead with Thomas to relent. Ava Paige even tells him "Everything can go back to the way it was." This is what WCKD has always wanted, of course. In other words, Thomas can have his memory back and rejoin WCKD. She meant it, too, because Ava Paige was actually a foster mother figure for Thomas. The brutal killing of Mary by Jansen coupled with this counteroffer from Ava Paige, which probably tempted him, may be what was pushing Thomas towards blowing them all up. Fortunately, Jorge rescues Thomas from his dilemma.
The tragic, tragic irony is that WCKD should have accepted Thomas' offer and let the other immunes go free.
"Scorch Trials" is a very good sequel to "Maze Runner."
Very long but well done write-up
@@JoyaLewisTheMusician Thanx. The films are packed with so much it's difficult to be brief and do them justice. Even a long comment isn't really adequate.
@@user-bl5yi4uw6jprops to you
The 2010s had a lot of movies where teenagers are dying. Maze Runner, Hunger Games, The Giver
Idk how many people know this but her brother named George in the first movie the name George was crossed out on the Mazes wall so it was probably him
I’ve been in a depressive episode recently. Thanks so much for your content, it really helps cheer me up in times like this. ❤
1:50 as soon as he sees him lmao xD
tell me about bad reputation xD
I heard we're gonna get more Maze Runner media. Hope it's animated, and we get to see The Kill Order.
Omg imagine it animated arcane style
@@DeerieMee was imagining more either She-ra, Kipo, or Castlevania style.
The Maze Runner trilogy books and movies are my favorite Dystopian series, besides Hunger Games. Eventhough the next generation produces an enzyme that can kill the Flare, it depends on how strong someone's brain chemistry is. A kid can produce the enzyme, but if they do not have strong brain chemistry or mindset, the enzyme will not be strong enough to kill the virus and WCKD so far has not been able to find one kid that produces a strong enough enzyme. Which is also the point for the Maze trials, the Maze is supposed to challenge them and help strengthen the brain enzyme, but kids like Winston (shot himself) weren't able to produce a strong enzyme to be immune to it, so if they get stung by a griever or bitten by a crank, they will turn into a crank. Now, in the books, it was Teresa AND Aris that betrayed everyone, but they were controlled by WCKD, the same way they controlled Gally when he killed Chuck, I still dont like Teresa though. And Teresa contacted WCKD by using the walkie talkie that Barkley used to contact Jensen.
Fair warning! You are gonna cry during Death Cure! But I'll be crying with you when you post the video 😭
I prefer this because Teresa made the choice and had agency when she betrayed them instead of being controlled. It shows she cares more about finding a cure and saving the world than the group which contrasts nicely to Thomas who cares more about saving the group than the world.
Ayyyeeeeeee. The Mell Cinematic universe
16:12
No, that's YA writing.
I really appreciate how genuine your reaction was ! I read the book and watched the movies when I was younger, and I understand the rating you gave it. I’m fond of the series but it can be predicable and follow YA cliches.
I may love the series but that didn’t stop me from laughing from your comments about Brenda, Thomas’s noisiness, and Teresa’s betrayal.
Hopefully people aren’t giving you a hard time for sharing your honest thoughts. I enjoyed your reaction and look forward to any future ones.
I'd love a Love and Monsters Commentary that movie is so underrated
Lovin the new set up
Not him saying he’s only known him for a couple hours before he shoots himself. When he was in the first movie
Lmao The Dude Didn't Say A Word. I Didn't Know That.
@@HelloMellowXVIhe said a good amount of of words lol. He even got properly introduced by newt in the first one.
@RedLemonCola I Don't Remember That At All Lmao
Glad you are continuing this series. Best of the dystopians but so underrated
Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Chill Mix) track from the party....top track
i will say that the criticisms are pretty valid just bc the science + mechanisms of the plot of the original books is kinda scattered too 😭😭😭 but still a very enjoyable reaction I love seeing people look at this movie no matter the opinion because yeah it’s a little predictable but it’s still fun too ! 🙀🙀 can’t wait to see the reaction to the next one !
Kaya Scodelario is so gorgeous!
She was one of my first TV crushes as Effy from Skins 🥵
You and me both, she absolutely killed it as Effy
Waiting for the day he watches divergent to complete the trilogy of hunger games maze runner and divergent
The problem I had with the Maze Runner sequels is that the books were a lot better. The movies were cool, tho.
only losers read
These movies need to be watched in a row. Can't wait for the death cure reaction 🔥🔥
10 years btw and *still* one of my fav trilogies out there
Let's goooooo! Maze Runner? Love this movie and other two.
Same here I love this trilogy
I fw with all the sequels. The 3rd one is my favorite fr. The action sequences were absolutely great to me.
“I’m the main character” 😅😅😅
love this guys reactions lol
The intro was the best part of this video I had to go back and watch it
I'm super excited for this video!! I love this series so much! I hope you enjoy them! This is my second favorite out of the three! I'm super excited for you to watch The Death Cure!
Just finished the reaction! I'm glad you're so honest with how you felt about the movie! I feel like it's so much more genuine!
" i will NAYVER trust you " 😆🤣 attitude
24:33 That is one of my complains with this saga, everything is related with Thomas, he is the kind the protagonist that keeps the story continuing but not in the Best way
For context about this movie, this is where the source material and the adaptation differ greatly. The biggest change being that the movies make the Cranks zombies essentially. In the books, Cranks more lose their sanity over time and lose sense of who they are. Still an enjoyable movie, hope it was fun!
Here we gooo
That intro was funny af lmaooooo
Winston the one who died at the beginning was in the first movie with them in the maze
Enjoyed this reaction bro
I am a docor i am trying save lifes. The next second she takes out another person in cold blood. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Saving lifes indeed.
Your reaction at 1:51 is so real. Seeing littlefinger’s actor is like the biggest red flag.
Idk i think the 1st maze runner was just so good the sequels felt so less 46:10 yep
"I guess." that about sums up what I thought of it too.
Awesome! Been waiting for this reaction!
meg shirt so fire whattt
Omg I just finished you watching the first one the other day! I’ve been waiting omg so excited :) glad I’m still early
I agree with what you are saying. And you’re right you do make it seem like you didn’t enjoy the movie 😆
Gotta Work On That
fun fact: they filmed in Albuquerque in an ancient Indian burial ground that hadn't been used for filming never before, and they were been told to not take anything and respect the ground. But at the end the actors took some artifacts/ rocks, and within a week they all went down randomly ill - appendectomy, broken ankle, high fever, etc 💀
Also, the release of the next movie was delayed due to Dylan O'brien's serious injury while filming the opening train scene of the Death Cure.
FINALLYYY 🙏🏼
I love all the maze runner movies.
22:05 so is that the Gus dude from Breaking bad because I think he was also in a two or three season series about oh dang what was it, something about humans trying to survive in America after some dangerous fireworks are set off in certain major cities.
Love the shirt ❤😛 Meg 4L
I just watched your video to the first movie and was wishing for u to do this one
Listen I absolutely love this series with my heart and soul but I totally get where you're coming from, the movie is pretty predictable and some of the characters are kind of generic but it is entertaining nonetheless. I hope you still do the Death Cure. Overall the series is one of the better ones compared to other movies in my opinion so I hope you still get to enjoy the last movie! ❤
This movie gives me more of a, it should of been a TV show vibe 😅
TST will always have a special place in my heart but it's....so obvious the film version bit off CHUNKS from The Last Of Us. 😭
Mellll l have so many recommendations for youuu 😊
Watch Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Forest Gump
Up for diary of a wimpy kid, since i dont really saw many reactor reacting to it
@@SpookTheCrook Yeah nobody really watches it for some reason
Sebscreen is the only guy I've seen fw it 😂
@@sensaiuriah5440Billy binges as well!!
"Infected Punani"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Caught him in one minute ❤
i don’t think i’ve ever been so mad in my life. 😭 teresaaaaaaaa
Nice shirt btw ❤
Honestly from the reaction it seemed like you really liked the movie, even though your conclusion thoughts it seemed like it was ok and saying “With this one it lost the magic” but then you gave it a B which it does seem like that with your reaction😂, can’t wait to see your reaction to the last one...But yea I loved the 2nd one, my ranking is
2

You should definitely watch I Am Legend (2007), Is a great movie,emotional,and Will Smith is in it so i hope you watch it.
This is my all time favorite trilogy and I cant wait for you to see the death cure.. anyways when they was fighting the guy with the shotgun after Brenda shot him Teressa picked up his walkie-talkie and that is how she contacted wicked also when Brenda is talking about her brother George if you look back at the first movie Thomas is in the graveyard and there is a headstone with George’s name on it
No offense but people need to stop being selfish. If these immune children are the future of the world then let them rebuild humanity let them create more immune people teach them to defend themselves from monsters all that stuff
Especially since those claiming to help are the evil corporate type a holes while they do what they can to harm anyone in their way.
I absolutely love all three of these movies
Finallyyyyy
I like how they direct that the directing was on point
I love all them!! The last one is my favorite
They really destroyed the original plot when making the movies. Love the cast, but they completely changed the plotline. As a teen reading this series I was able to distinguish clear differences between cranks and your average zombie, but they took all the uniqueness away from cranks and just made them generic zombies. Teresa’s betrayal is entirely different in the second book and I heavily prefer it to the movie. Even WICKED’s motive is changed.
Anybody here read the comics and know why that one in the cage didn't have eyes or am I the only one, plus I thought Winston was there from the first one why he acting like jus cuz Tom the main character he can let his friends from the beginning die they were all friends before maze runner and this movie theirs backstory they literally can't remember
The Death Cure is definitely my favorite of the bunch. So excited to see you react to that one.
I do agree with the generic feeling. A lot of films have done this before. this one feels like it focuses on getting our main characters t
From A to B To C. And is just mainly there to set up the third movie. I think this movie does its job as the middle part of a story well for the most part.
I've always heard that its always tough to do a middle part because there is no beginning and there is no end. And i think what they did with this, they did a good job.
The death cure definitely has a lot more substance and i think if you do a marathon of these movies, watching them back to back. This movie feels much more cohesive in the grand scheme of things.
With that being said. This is my favorite YA movie trilogy.
Yeah this trilogy is definitely up there 🔥🔥
Bro Maze Runner series are all amazing. Im glad that you liked. Please post part 3 reaction sooner. I don't want to wait another 6 months.😅
Looking forward to you watching the third movie :) its my favorite of the 3, just wish it was a tad longer.
We Back!!!!💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Hey Mell can u please do a Reaction on Tron Legacy🙃very underrated in my opinion
😂 song too funny
I rlly love the jumpscare once they make it into the building from the lightning storm bc you can kinda see it coming at them so yk it’s there but Teresa shining the light on it made the jump scare, not the camera shots
damn where you got that shirt from
Love your reactions
this is my fav of the trilogy
Maze Runner and Divergent are 2 of the best movies series and I sometimes get them confused
The main thing is that the movie and the books are completely different. The first is kind of the same but also not really, I think mainly because the books had a lot of very unrealistic things happening (invisible doors, how chuck gets killed, Teresa and Thomas having telepathy, Thomas goes 1 on 1 against a Griever and wins). I like the movies but I wish I could see a movie that depicted exactly what happened in the books.
I am so glad i read the books after the movies. The books are sooooooo cool! I loved the movies a lot, but the books were AWESOME ❤
What up mell ❤
If connected the dots with Brenda’s brother he was one of those boys in Thomas’s maze and he somehow stumbled upon George’s grave in the forest Luke the others and his name was crossed off on the maze wall and just like Alby says once you get stung you go crazy as hell I guess they had no choice but to take George out and it’s crazy how Thomas did mention anything about him to Minho or newt like they could of gave Brenda some closure on what happened to him
Melllloooooo
One more to go for the trilogy!
Is 20th Century Fox even making movies any more?
20th Century is. After the sale to Disney, they dropped the Fox part to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation. Actually, this sort of undoes a merger than happened ages age when two studios, 20th Century and Fox Film, merged in 1935. I believe 20th Century has asked Wes Ball to develop a follow-up to TMR.
@@user-bl5yi4uw6j Thank you!
The best reactor and the funniest on RUclips ❤
Awesome
I LOVE THIS BECAUSE MAZE RUNNER TRIOLOGY IS MY FAVORITE
I love this movie so much
Death Cure is my favorite of the 3 - looking forward to seeing your reaction to the conclusion of the trilogy!
Though it was predictable, I have to admit that the acting in this movie was very good. The third and first one was definitely my favorite.
