"You're our only chances of survival".

Also them: *traps them in a giant maze and slowly murders all of them*.

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.

Somehow actually seeing the Grievers kind of made them less scary. In the books they're just vaguely described: your imagination fills in the rest.

It’s even worse when in the books it’s revealed that Chuck was never immune (along with Newt) and he was just added in to be a stupid test variable

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*"

I find it kinda funny how Chuck only existed to be a kid that dies horribly at the end. Gotta have that shock value.

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.

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 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

Fun fact, newt used to be a runner until he shattered his leg from a suicide attempt.

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.

Fun fact, Newt is actually played by the same guy who does Ferb in Phineas and Ferb

Chucks death was absolutely devastating😭

I rewatched these movies last year and realized that the entirety of the first two movies takes place over the course of 11 days

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.

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 cant believe alex covered maze runner finallyyy

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".

Fun facts: 1. In the book Thomas wakes up in the box and gets pulled out with vines
2. Thomas never got put in jail
3. Teresa was in a sort of coma when she arrived it took a few chapters for her to wake up
4. Chuck didn’t gets shot in the book he god stabbed
5. Thomas remembered his name immediately in the book
