Well yeah, the whole premise is they are working on the assumption that they need a new generation that has the best genetics to give humanity the edge it needs. A combination of survival of the fittest and genetic selective breeding.
Newt was the best character, Thomas Brodie Sangster gave him a lot of heart. Still couldn't believe that he was the same kid from "Love Actually" and "Nanny McPhee."
i don't remember extremely well since it was a long time ago but weren't they described as, like, slime blobs in the books? i remember being pretty unintimidated by them then.
Living in the maze (if you’re not a runner) is all fun and games until you learn that Alby WAS THE FIRST ONE. So that poor child arrived by himself, in a strange maze with huge walls and monsters and had to figure this shit out, not knowing if or when someone else or any supplies would ever come up again. He just had to make it somehow until the scientists were “nice” and enough to send him a second person so he doesn’t go completely crazy.
@@jpwhjg nah, it was a group of 40 people, so in total the maze had around 64 people by the end, which is perfect for the amount of people who died and also the amount of people who survived
So glad I read the books first. They make much more sense than the films. They actually explain why you can’t climb the maze. The kids all have brain implants, as well as the ones that erase their memories there are ones that can control people’s actions (example: making Gally kill Chuck). When someone climbs too close to the top, the implants make it seem like it’s too high or too dangerous, so they come down. There isn’t actually a sky because the maze is underground - it’s a fake highly realistic computer screen, and it actually turns off partway through the book at the point where WICKED wants them to escape the Maze, really kicking things into third gear. And yes, it’s WICKED (which stands for World in Catastrophe Killzone Experiment Department), not WCKD. The trilogy also has two prequels which haven’t been made into films, which are amazing in their own right. The Kill Order was a hell of a thing to read during the pandemic.
I read the books too and really enjoyed them. I actually thought the 1st movie was a pretty decent adaptation despite some of the flaws you mentioned. That being said, I’ll admit that I was disappointed by the 2nd and 3rd movies.
They really missed the mark on a lot of great book features. They hardly showed anything of the inventions that constantly plague the boys. Like the liquid ball in the second book chasing them in the sewers was so shocking but they totally fumbled it.
I met Dylan O’ Brien twice earlier this year. He came into the movie theater I work at on a random slow night. He was really chill, and introduced himself to us. Really neat interaction
You’re so lucky, he’s literally my favorite actor. He likes the same baseball team that my family and I like and the girls in middle school would ask me “do you only like that team because he likes them?” Girl, I liked that team since I was a baby
Lowkey was so worried when I watched the movie and Teresa arrived. Being stuck in a remote location with countless teenage boys could’ve made the film take a dark turn. edit: found out that apparently in the books, Alby instructs the boys to not try anything with Teresa or they risk banishment (iirc) - dunno why they didn’t mention this in the movie. another edit: idrk why some of yall are pressed abt this - something like what I alluded to happening isn’t uncommon in the dystopian genre.
When it comes to Will Poulter, it is funny how out of all the kid actors in the Chronicles of Narnia franchise, the one that got on our nerves the most in "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was the one that ended up having a successful acting career. As well as a glow up. At the same time, his eyebrows still make him look like Sid from "Toy Story".
I THOUGHT THAT. i said to my family the first time we watched it "oh he looks like that sid from toy story" and they were like no i dont see it shut it
@@faryq1410 first movie I saw Will Poulter in, Dawn Treader hadn't come out yet so I was both surprised and glad to see him in it when it did. Loved his performance in Son of Rambow, been a fan since
i swear, so many popular 2010s ya sci-fi/dystopian media were like "we're gonna do all these horrendous inhumane things to literal children and justify it all in the name of *scientific experimentation*"
@@r3dd.pj0 Nobody disputes your claim, you are absolutely correct! Newt was my favourite part of this film, Thomas Brodie Sangster played him flawlessly.
"Humanity dying at the hands of some virus." W.C.K.D: "Oh, I have a good idea! Let's put our young teenagers - the hopes of our future - into a maze with giant robotic spiders demons that will kill on sight!"
@@Astrid_Edits Well their plan in the books is WAYY WORSE They get immune kids and test out their brain patterns with variables such as Grievers and the Maze and then they throw in non-immune kids like Newt and Chuck for variables and they've been doing it for like 5 years or less All so in the end the chancellors like "the flares won. Just send all the immune kids to live in a forest somewhere and breed a whole new population immune to the flare"
Just so you know, Alex, the Gladers' reaction to Theresa in the book is a lot more... expected of a bunch of isolated teenage boys. Alby has to threaten banishment and imprisonment to keep their hands off of her.
I'll never forgive the movie for having Thomas run into the maze just to die with Minho and Alby. In the book he goes in sooner to try and help Minho drag Alby out, which just. Makes so much more sense.
The movies were good but very toned down compared to the books. The books really show these kids hustling to stay alive while facing these bizarre challenges. It really shows that they are being tested by WICKD(survival for the fittest) which was not entirely portrayed in the movies properly. E.g 13:32 that part was so simplified in that it didn’t show how hard it was for them to get out of the maze which kinda made the ending of this movie a bit anti climactic. But anyways I still enjoyed the movies and I the cast was really great❤
4:18 "I can't tell if this dude is 14 or 24." Technically he was 23 when this was filmed, but still. Thomas here found the fountain of youth, to put it simply. He looks at least 5-10 years younger then his actual age.
I’ve never cared enough to watch the others, I’ve seen bits of The Scotch Trails though the whole concept is very repetitive. It’s far too predictable, it’s obvious that Thomas and Teresa are the equivalent of Adam and Eve.
@@ObsessiveGeek i never thought of them like that. Ive watched every movie at least 4 times, and ive read the books way more than that. What makes you ses them like that?
@@Lina_deadhamster Mostly because I’m older than the target demographic. I’ve read a LOT more books before these ever existed. Many that had similar scenarios but were much more in depth and adult in tone. I preferred The Hunger Games over these, though that has a lot of same predicable story, I preferred the overall concept. Possibly due to having some similarities to The Running Man which is a firm favourite of mine.
I saw this movie for the first time earlier this year when I was in hospital after a surgery and high on painkillers; let me tell you, it was an Experience
To anyone who enjoyed the moves but didn't read the books I highly recommend them. They are much darker in tone and they completely changed the story from movie 2 onward. I never watched the 3rd movie because of how egregious the changes in The Scorch Trials were.
@@inconsolable. I don't wanna be the person explaining a 5 book series or risk spoiling the books . The books are great. They're definitely worth reading. (Lmk if you want me to be that person tho)
@@jun_kage yeah, yeah dude i get it "men bad". you know we have feelings to and saying shit like this hurts a lot right? like im tired of people saying that cause im a guy im gonna do some horrific shit to them. it hurts.
No, the UK child actor who got the biggest “glow-up” is, without a doubt, Nicholas Hoult. It still blows my mind that he was the kid from _About A Boy_.
That would imply he was an ugly kid. He was a cute kid very conventionally looking. Then he was a good-looking teenager. And now he's a very hot adult. Glow up implies he had an ugly or awkward phase
@@AirQuotes Strictly speaking, there are no “ugly” child actors (especially among the girls). You do raise a good point. though. Perhaps Matthew Lewis (who also gets name checked whenever people discuss the “glow up” phenomenon) might be a better example among UK actors? (For US actors, I’d probably go with Jerry O’Donnell. Pretty much all it took for him to go from pudgy Vern in _Stand By Me_ to “leading-man hot” was to grow about a foot taller.)
@@maryanntoner4520 No ugly child actors? Did you not see Chuck in this same movie? How does a kid even manage to get fat while living on rations in the forest?
I loved the Maze runner book series and am forever grateful they made this movies just for this moment alone 7:35. It's so sick I get chills every time I see it
Yes! I highly recommend the book (or audiobook) it’s based on if you haven’t read it already. I was so eager to finish it that I could barely put it down!
Highly recommend reading the books. Fever code is by far the most interesting, bc it actually explains why Teresa and Thomas went into the maze even though they were technically working with WICKED.
*SPOILERS* I don't remember much since I read the books years ago but in fever code it turns out that Teresa and Thomas weren't supposed to go into the maze and were actually working with WICKED, plus had telekinesis abilities. Apparently there were two experiments one filled with all boys in a maze (until Teresa arrives) whereas the opposite occurs (all girls trapped in a similar maze room) with one boy (I forgot his name but he also uses telekinesis). Anyway from what I remember Chuck (the kid that dies at the end of the first movie) was also best friends with Thomas outside of the experiment when all these kids were being experimented on in this comfortable lab. Each month they would send one of the kids in the lab to the maze and this weird technology would make them forget everything when they entered the maze room besides their name. The main reason they were being kept in that lab was bc of the flare, this sun disease that eats ur brain essentially and makes u go crazy until u die. The kids (most) were immune to the flare somehow, so scientists were trying to find like a cure to it by separating these children from there homes. Anyway I'm skipping through parts here but Teresa and Thomas, who were working with WICKED, realized that the whole experiments were immoral and wrong, so they tried to convince the scientists observing both experiments to let them go inside and simple try and "observe" the kids themselves close up or whatever (in reality I think they were gonna try and help them escape from WICKED). Anyway the plot twist is that they thought they would be sent into the maze with their memory intact, but ava paige (the main scientist working on the experiment) tricked them and sent both Thomas and Teresa down there with no memory at all (this may be wrong tho, as I said I don't remember much, but I'm pretty sure both Thomas and Teresa lose their memories if not then just teresa). So essentially Thomas's plan was busted and Thomas ending up losing his memory and having to survive several times over the course of the triology :D
@@LunaCannone well in the book Thomas explains his plan to Teresa cuz he wants to find another way to a cure and save his friends (that are also friends of Teresa) by this torture. Paige give green light to that but Teresa betrayed Thomas, tricked him until the last minute and at the end cleaning up (i cant figure another word in english lol) his memory. Teresa has all his memory when she was in the maze, the same for Aris who communicated whit telepathy with Teresa all day. They were basically some scientists on the ground. Only Thomas and Rachel (aris best friend) had the memories wiped back
lInteresting! Griever in English plays on the word "grieve", and would mean something that gives you great sorrow. Scratcher seems like a huge step backwards in the scary monster name department lol.
In danish we call them "straffere" which would translate to "punisher". It is interesting how much their name changes... Hope that makes sense, english is my second language😅
That's funny because in German they're called "Griewers" which is just a phonetic adaptation of grievers and literally does not mean anything lol Although maybe the more abstract name did add to their mystery and scariness
@@anne-sophieandersen5897 You English is perfect dw, i got all of that ! But true, i'm glad people like you responded to my comment with their version of the name haha
I loved the maze runner so much when it came out I made an instagram fan page and then my family found it and followed it and in a panic I just deleted the page and then scream cried so safe to say this movie gives me flashbacks
Maze Runner and Hunger Games are the only book/movies I read before the movies came out. Enjoyed em..the Maze Runner movies were def interesting lol l..to say the least
I remember reading this in middle school and getting so annoyed that the boys didn't understand why the one girl who showed up felt threatened. Like yes your minds were wiped but you all clearly understand and remember enough to know WHY she is acting that way! I honestly expected her to get assaulted so they had an excuse to sacrifice someone!
U must've read it wrong then. Because all the boys were saying "SHES MINE" when Teresa showed up and Alby had to threaten them with Banishment if they did try anything
Something I always don’t like about this movie, is that they know what a sting is, and what it does to a person but they say no one’s ever survived a night in the maze. So I’m always like how have people been stung before the greivers started coming out at day.
in the book people got stung and they went trough the changing. Gally got stung so that explained why he is so grumpy. They also already had the cure from the stung already, it came up with the box every week. The movies are full of overlooked details and plotholes
The Glade and Maze are on a giant cycle, allowing a small community to thrive, providing supplies though also encouraging them to explore the maze, and eventually keeping the doors to the maze open, anyone that survives gets their memories wiped and they go through it all over again. So there’s actually quite a few that remember everything and are content to stay in the Glade, even though they’re aware that each cycle is progressively shorter. It’s why they’re already mapped out all the maze, some were looking for a way out.
Honestly, this may be the reason I (probably unpopular opinion) liked the movie better. I couldn't relate to any of the male characters at the time of reading the books, but least they had cute actors.
Honestly i liked it bc it was all boys. I was a young 14yo teen girl who had crush on Percy Jackson and kdrama actors. I definitely loved the main boys for sure💀💀 But also, seeing how male relationships and friendships work was like watching humans interact as an alien lmao. A whole new experience.
13:37 They just didn’t have enough people so it didn’t allow them in but when they all gathered up the scanner saw that they had enough people so the door opened, you welcome
This movie is my DREAM. But some of the changes from the books pisses me off like gally has a problem with thomas in the movies and we dont get an explanation why, but in the books gally has some parts of his memories and remembers that thomas was working with w.c.k.d and thats why he hates thomas. Also in the books teresa and thomas have a telepathical connection and can communicate without talking. And the last part is that in the movie minho has a model of the whole maze but in the books they have to draw the route of each section separately while the greavers were coming each night to take one person until everyone was dead.❤😢
In the movie, gally is just naturally mean. But he grows a hatred toward Thomas when 1. He breaks the rules and runs into the maze 2. People got stung in broad daylight after his appearance 3. Ben and Alby both claiming they saw him after getting stung 4. Teresa shows up and says his name 5. The doors don’t close at night His appearance triggered a LOT of unusual and dangerous things that anyone in the maze would’ve connected
every Barbie movie ever is a great idea, how to train your dragon is really worth it, there is also a series, not only the 3 movies... 10 things i hate about you is so nostalgic, but idk as an adult, if it is still that fun to watch... i would suggest leaving despicable me 4 alone, but if you are so fond of minions, it is your choice XD
The movies really missed some of the shocking elements that are all over in the books. One of the factors the boys are constantly on edge is because wicked keeps showing them some surreal achievements of technology that they can't understand and pose a danger to them.
The Maze Runner had this feeling to it, like it started out with a good idea (trapped inside an ever-changing maze, trying to grow food, map the maze, and survive the grievers, with no memory of who you were) - and then they tried to build an entire movie around that idea. And they failed miserably. They should have started over from the beginning, and tried to create a world where its initial conditions would lead to that. And if they couldn't make it work, then maybe this is not a plot idea that should be made into a movie...
you’re right, as someone who was the book fan n waited and watched the movie release, i absolutely hate the movie bc they change a lot of core things that make the world feel more coherent and rich, and it just feels like the movie has a lot of plot holes and the new ideas they put in to cover them just fall apart really quick
The red scanner that scanned Minho and Thomas is a grieved scanner. And the reason that walls were fine when the group went through the second time is because Section 7 had changed and the mass Sections change in order. You have to read all of the books and watch all of the movies multiple times to understand fully. And you have to pay attention.
From this YA movies. This one is my favourite, I've read the books and I always come back to it. The quality is constant, the actors are giving their 100% and just a lot of fun to watch it 😊
Honestly, as it kid I was sad they got rid of the telepathy plot with Thomas and Teresa, because it made Aris' relationship with the others more interesting in the second book. He's barely used in the movie and he was one of my favourites in the books :(
no idea what vault 69 is, but James Dashner's _The Maze Runner_ book was written to be a counter-thesis to William Goulding's book _The Lord of the Flies_ . Goulding believed that, because of inherited sin in all of us, if you remove people from society, their inner evil would destabilize any semblance of society and create only chaos, greed, and violence. Dashner doesn't believe in this idea. He thinks that, as long as people believe in the same goals, they can establish organized and civilized society, even far outside of civilization. In _Lord of the Flies_ , the boys came from an organized society but their idea of social order quickly fell apart and the boys became savage and turned on one another. In _The Maze Runner_ , the boys create laws and order to prevent the community in the Glade from falling apart. With strong leadership under Alby, the boys managed to create a strong community with jobs allocated for everyone, as well as punishments for broken rules. _The Maze Runner_ would only be a rated R story if it went the way of _The Lord of the Flies_ and had the boys turn on one another I suppose.
One thing I think was huge that they left out in the movies was that Thomas and Teresa had telepathy. They could talk to each other through their minds
Man you know this was still the days of the good ol' Transformers-esque Movie Making and Book-To-Movie adaptations.... like at 12:05 some guy just getting dragged off screen by some Metal-monster sounding creature... Wicked 2010+ Movies Vibes They dont make movies with the small attention to detail like they used to anymore thats forsure
I thought the grievers in the book were a lot scarier and kind of disappointed they didn't end up how they were described. They were basically deadly roly poly's.
I really love Maze Runner at that time, watched all interviews, read the book, even went to cinema along just to watch the sequence. I really thought you had already made a video about it. I just searched a while ago and now you finally release the video!!!

@@Rexasaurus76 he shaved that off 😭😭
Dylan O'Brien is such a good actor. He carried that Teen Wolf show on his back ❤
he did though
I'll never forgive the movie for having Thomas run into the maze just to die with Minho and Alby. In the book he goes in sooner to try and help Minho drag Alby out, which just. Makes so much more sense.
The movies were good but very toned down compared to the books. The books really show these kids hustling to stay alive while facing these bizarre challenges. It really shows that they are being tested by WICKD(survival for the fittest) which was not entirely portrayed in the movies properly. E.g 13:32 that part was so simplified in that it didn’t show how hard it was for them to get out of the maze which kinda made the ending of this movie a bit anti climactic. But anyways I still enjoyed the movies and I the cast was really great❤
That bowling ball thing chasing them was shocking and scary...
THIS COMING OUT DURING MY MAZE RUNNER HYPERFIXATION FEELS TARGETED
We’re watching you!
HOW DID HE KNOW WE WERE ALL IN OUR MAZE RUNNER PHASES
Ikr, I rewatched it just last week, on a whim.
I watched them for the first time recently
NAHHH IM GOING THROUGH THE SAMEEEE IT'S CRAZYYYY
I still haven't forgiven Theresa 😂. Also speaking of Barbie could u react to Barbie repunzel , the weasel in there is just.. interesting 😂
I love how he says they all grt through fine while ignoring all the characters that were ripped apart
its called, "main characters"....god i hope youre being intentionally dim.
@tangibleterror2421 and its called a joke. I hope your being an asshole intentionally
4:18 "I can't tell if this dude is 14 or 24."
Technically he was 23 when this was filmed, but still.
Thomas here found the fountain of youth, to put it simply. He looks at least 5-10 years younger then his actual age.
5-10? nh bro me lookes 15 years younger AT LEAST

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE MOVIES OMG.
YES THEY ARE LIKE ALL I THINK ABT
I’ve never cared enough to watch the others, I’ve seen bits of The Scotch Trails though the whole concept is very repetitive.
It’s far too predictable, it’s obvious that Thomas and Teresa are the equivalent of Adam and Eve.
@@ObsessiveGeek i never thought of them like that. Ive watched every movie at least 4 times, and ive read the books way more than that. What makes you ses them like that?
@@Lina_deadhamster Mostly because I’m older than the target demographic.
I’ve read a LOT more books before these ever existed.
Many that had similar scenarios but were much more in depth and adult in tone.
I preferred The Hunger Games over these, though that has a lot of same predicable story, I preferred the overall concept.
Possibly due to having some similarities to The Running Man which is a firm favourite of mine.
@@ObsessiveGeek I understand what you mean. The series is 100% ment for people my age and I understand why it would be as appealing to older readers.
Director Wes Ball going from this to Planet of the Apes & Legend of Zelda is some anime level redemption arc!
Hope he can save Zelda from Avi Arad
Wdym Maze Runner was probably the best movie of it's kind (Hunger Games etc)

To anyone who enjoyed the moves but didn't read the books I highly recommend them. They are much darker in tone and they completely changed the story from movie 2 onward. I never watched the 3rd movie because of how egregious the changes in The Scorch Trials were.
Can't believe you're watching this film, finally!!
I binge watched the three films one weekend and really enjoyed them :]

No, the UK child actor who got the biggest “glow-up” is, without a doubt, Nicholas Hoult. It still blows my mind that he was the kid from _About A Boy_.
That would imply he was an ugly kid. He was a cute kid very conventionally looking. Then he was a good-looking teenager. And now he's a very hot adult. Glow up implies he had an ugly or awkward phase
@@AirQuotes Strictly speaking, there are no “ugly” child actors (especially among the girls). You do raise a good point. though. Perhaps Matthew Lewis (who also gets name checked whenever people discuss the “glow up” phenomenon) might be a better example among UK actors? (For US actors, I’d probably go with Jerry O’Donnell. Pretty much all it took for him to go from pudgy Vern in _Stand By Me_ to “leading-man hot” was to grow about a foot taller.)
@@maryanntoner4520 No ugly child actors? Did you not see Chuck in this same movie? How does a kid even manage to get fat while living on rations in the forest?
I genuinely love The Maze Runner movies. We need you to do The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure!!
I genuinely thought he covered Maze Runner… he didn’t??
Same, he's covered so many teen franchises at this stage, it's hard to keep track.
I think it was hunger games that he covered
I swear he did too but I guess not 🤷🏾♀️
I swear I saw a video, with the same thumbnail, and even watched it, but it was a few years ago.
No I remember him do maze runner a few month ago

The first maze runner is unironically a great ya movie
Yes! I highly recommend the book (or audiobook) it’s based on if you haven’t read it already. I was so eager to finish it that I could barely put it down!
AHHH I LOVE THE MAZE RUNNER YOURE FINALLY COVERING IT 😭
You just KNOW that the girl camp was way nicer, cleaner and more vicious at the same time.
you know i need a book about the group B maze 😭
Highly recommend reading the books. Fever code is by far the most interesting, bc it actually explains why Teresa and Thomas went into the maze even though they were technically working with WICKED.
Can you spoil it for me ? Why did they go there ?
*SPOILERS*
I don't remember much since I read the books years ago but in fever code it turns out that Teresa and Thomas weren't supposed to go into the maze and were actually working with WICKED, plus had telekinesis abilities. Apparently there were two experiments one filled with all boys in a maze (until Teresa arrives) whereas the opposite occurs (all girls trapped in a similar maze room) with one boy (I forgot his name but he also uses telekinesis). Anyway from what I remember Chuck (the kid that dies at the end of the first movie) was also best friends with Thomas outside of the experiment when all these kids were being experimented on in this comfortable lab. Each month they would send one of the kids in the lab to the maze and this weird technology would make them forget everything when they entered the maze room besides their name. The main reason they were being kept in that lab was bc of the flare, this sun disease that eats ur brain essentially and makes u go crazy until u die. The kids (most) were immune to the flare somehow, so scientists were trying to find like a cure to it by separating these children from there homes. Anyway I'm skipping through parts here but Teresa and Thomas, who were working with WICKED, realized that the whole experiments were immoral and wrong, so they tried to convince the scientists observing both experiments to let them go inside and simple try and "observe" the kids themselves close up or whatever (in reality I think they were gonna try and help them escape from WICKED). Anyway the plot twist is that they thought they would be sent into the maze with their memory intact, but ava paige (the main scientist working on the experiment) tricked them and sent both Thomas and Teresa down there with no memory at all (this may be wrong tho, as I said I don't remember much, but I'm pretty sure both Thomas and Teresa lose their memories if not then just teresa). So essentially Thomas's plan was busted and Thomas ending up losing his memory and having to survive several times over the course of the triology :D
@@LunaCannone well in the book Thomas explains his plan to Teresa cuz he wants to find another way to a cure and save his friends (that are also friends of Teresa) by this torture. Paige give green light to that but Teresa betrayed Thomas, tricked him until the last minute and at the end cleaning up (i cant figure another word in english lol) his memory. Teresa has all his memory when she was in the maze, the same for Aris who communicated whit telepathy with Teresa all day. They were basically some scientists on the ground. Only Thomas and Rachel (aris best friend) had the memories wiped back
7:16 in the french version we call them "Griffeurs" which basically translates to "Scratchers". Idk if it's worse or nah
lInteresting! Griever in English plays on the word "grieve", and would mean something that gives you great sorrow. Scratcher seems like a huge step backwards in the scary monster name department lol.
In danish we call them "straffere" which would translate to "punisher".
It is interesting how much their name changes...
Hope that makes sense, english is my second language😅
That's funny because in German they're called "Griewers" which is just a phonetic adaptation of grievers and literally does not mean anything lol
Although maybe the more abstract name did add to their mystery and scariness
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams Yeah unfortunatly French people hate doing accurate translations, so it's basically like that in every movie ever
@@anne-sophieandersen5897 You English is perfect dw, i got all of that ! But true, i'm glad people like you responded to my comment with their version of the name haha
I loved the maze runner so much when it came out I made an instagram fan page and then my family found it and followed it and in a panic I just deleted the page and then scream cried so safe to say this movie gives me flashbacks
Maze Runner and Hunger Games are the only book/movies I read before the movies came out. Enjoyed em..the Maze Runner movies were def interesting lol l..to say the least
I remember reading this in middle school and getting so annoyed that the boys didn't understand why the one girl who showed up felt threatened. Like yes your minds were wiped but you all clearly understand and remember enough to know WHY she is acting that way! I honestly expected her to get assaulted so they had an excuse to sacrifice someone!
U must've read it wrong then. Because all the boys were saying "SHES MINE" when Teresa showed up and Alby had to threaten them with Banishment if they did try anything
I might be not mentallly ready for the third movie reaction, I cried IN THE SHOWER ACTER THAT
Something I always don’t like about this movie, is that they know what a sting is, and what it does to a person but they say no one’s ever survived a night in the maze. So I’m always like how have people been stung before the greivers started coming out at day.
in the book people got stung and they went trough the changing. Gally got stung so that explained why he is so grumpy. They also already had the cure from the stung already, it came up with the box every week. The movies are full of overlooked details and plotholes
The Glade and Maze are on a giant cycle, allowing a small community to thrive, providing supplies though also encouraging them to explore the maze, and eventually keeping the doors to the maze open, anyone that survives gets their memories wiped and they go through it all over again.
So there’s actually quite a few that remember everything and are content to stay in the Glade, even though they’re aware that each cycle is progressively shorter.
It’s why they’re already mapped out all the maze, some were looking for a way out.
LEGEND OF ZELDA can only stand a chance if Wes Ball works as a producer
It's the only way he can save it from AVI ARAD
Agreed
I love this guy's commentary
"We call them Grievous."
*"Ah, General Kenobi!"*
In the beginning when I saw the list of movies I was so happy to see "10 things i hate about you"
2:33 (the first thing they do i throw him in bambo jail)
Had me rolling on the floor😂😂
Omg mom im famous!
7:50 was way less dramatic then I remember😂
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT ALEX
This was the one franchise I wasn’t obsessed with because it was all boys 😂 the one girl was not enough to break up the boy energy
Honestly, this may be the reason I (probably unpopular opinion) liked the movie better. I couldn't relate to any of the male characters at the time of reading the books, but least they had cute actors.
I have a theory of having same reason for me to like this too, except I'm also the boy😅
Honestly i liked it bc it was all boys. I was a young 14yo teen girl who had crush on Percy Jackson and kdrama actors. I definitely loved the main boys for sure💀💀
But also, seeing how male relationships and friendships work was like watching humans interact as an alien lmao. A whole new experience.
13:37 They just didn’t have enough people so it didn’t allow them in but when they all gathered up the scanner saw that they had enough people so the door opened, you welcome
8:24 “summer camp”😂
Also Minho?Newt?Thomas?Galle especially in that one scene?just wow😔gorgeous
What are you talking about?
@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams they are gorgeous😭🤣🤣
minho is the goat ngl
I still have trouble NOT calling Thomas Stiles. 😂
10:36 Mannnn :O This one was *Awesome!*
This movie is my DREAM. But some of the changes from the books pisses me off like gally has a problem with thomas in the movies and we dont get an explanation why, but in the books gally has some parts of his memories and remembers that thomas was working with w.c.k.d and thats why he hates thomas. Also in the books teresa and thomas have a telepathical connection and can communicate without talking. And the last part is that in the movie minho has a model of the whole maze but in the books they have to draw the route of each section separately while the greavers were coming each night to take one person until everyone was dead.❤😢
In the movie, gally is just naturally mean. But he grows a hatred toward Thomas when
1. He breaks the rules and runs into the maze
2. People got stung in broad daylight after his appearance
3. Ben and Alby both claiming they saw him after getting stung
4. Teresa shows up and says his name
5. The doors don’t close at night
His appearance triggered a LOT of unusual and dangerous things that anyone in the maze would’ve connected
every Barbie movie ever is a great idea, how to train your dragon is really worth it, there is also a series, not only the 3 movies... 10 things i hate about you is so nostalgic, but idk as an adult, if it is still that fun to watch... i would suggest leaving despicable me 4 alone, but if you are so fond of minions, it is your choice XD
I'm a runner right now since I'm eating taco bell i guess
Ive been waiting years for alex to do a maze runner video i cant believe the day has come

OMG YOU FINALLY DID THIS MOVIE WHEN I FIRST WATCHED IT I CHECKED YOUR CHANNEL TO SEE IF YOU DID IT AND YOU FINALLY DID!! :D
I got here when it had been uploaded for 26 seconds
🎖
AINT NO WAY BRO IM LITERALLY REREADING AND REWATCHING THE FRANCHISE RN AND YOU POSTED ABT IT OMG
The movies really missed some of the shocking elements that are all over in the books. One of the factors the boys are constantly on edge is because wicked keeps showing them some surreal achievements of technology that they can't understand and pose a danger to them.
The Maze Runner had this feeling to it, like it started out with a good idea (trapped inside an ever-changing maze, trying to grow food, map the maze, and survive the grievers, with no memory of who you were) - and then they tried to build an entire movie around that idea. And they failed miserably.
They should have started over from the beginning, and tried to create a world where its initial conditions would lead to that.
And if they couldn't make it work, then maybe this is not a plot idea that should be made into a movie...
I think the books are just better. It doesnt feel nearly as confusing
The only thing that got adapted from the books to movie, was basically only the names. The books are so much better.
you’re right, as someone who was the book fan n waited and watched the movie release, i absolutely hate the movie bc they change a lot of core things that make the world feel more coherent and rich, and it just feels like the movie has a lot of plot holes and the new ideas they put in to cover them just fall apart really quick
I still love the movie, knowing that its not great xd
Love your videos dude I get to enjoy these movies a second time while you talk about them
6:26 hmmmmm someone check alex's SEARCH HISTORY
4:36 I literally cried when chuck died cause he was the best cha and HE IS A CHILD 😭😭😭😭😭
YEA😭
5:55 HAD ME ROLLING
The red scanner that scanned Minho and Thomas is a grieved scanner. And the reason that walls were fine when the group went through the second time is because Section 7 had changed and the mass Sections change in order. You have to read all of the books and watch all of the movies multiple times to understand fully. And you have to pay attention.
From this YA movies. This one is my favourite, I've read the books and I always come back to it. The quality is constant, the actors are giving their 100% and just a lot of fun to watch it 😊
I really liked Minho when I was eleven 😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly, as it kid I was sad they got rid of the telepathy plot with Thomas and Teresa, because it made Aris' relationship with the others more interesting in the second book. He's barely used in the movie and he was one of my favourites in the books :(
This movie would have gone like vault 69 if it was a rated R movie
Would’ve gone like the original version of the novel It
@@goldenfiberwheat238 peaked my curiosity man, what happens?
no idea what vault 69 is, but James Dashner's _The Maze Runner_ book was written to be a counter-thesis to William Goulding's book _The Lord of the Flies_ . Goulding believed that, because of inherited sin in all of us, if you remove people from society, their inner evil would destabilize any semblance of society and create only chaos, greed, and violence. Dashner doesn't believe in this idea. He thinks that, as long as people believe in the same goals, they can establish organized and civilized society, even far outside of civilization. In _Lord of the Flies_ , the boys came from an organized society but their idea of social order quickly fell apart and the boys became savage and turned on one another. In _The Maze Runner_ , the boys create laws and order to prevent the community in the Glade from falling apart. With strong leadership under Alby, the boys managed to create a strong community with jobs allocated for everyone, as well as punishments for broken rules. _The Maze Runner_ would only be a rated R story if it went the way of _The Lord of the Flies_ and had the boys turn on one another I suppose.
